Making waves in Oakland Principal Dean Madsen of our San Francisco office narrowly missed being elected City Auditor of Oakland, California in a special runoff election May 15 against the incumbent City Auditor. Dean garnered 48 percent of the vote in the runoff election, up substantially from the 32 percent figure in the election April 14, but not quite enough to give Oakland the new blood and new thinking that Dean feels is needed in the city's government. "It was a good campaign," says Dean. "We got a lot of people thinking about an office that has not been distinguished in the public mind!' Dean's active participation in politics in the City of Oakland began in 1971. Annoyed that the city's annual financial statements had been issued anywhere from one and a half to three and a half years late, Dean reviewed whatever financial statements he could get his hands on and wrote a series of articles on deficiencies in the city's financial administration for a local newspaper, The Montclarian. One of the things Dean had turned up in his review was that the city had accumulated $20 million in excess funds and the public knew nothing about it because of the delays in issuing financial reports. As fortune would have it, the night before Dean's article was to appear in the newspaper, Oakland's mayor, speaking before a group of businessmen, announced that the city was broke. The next issue of The Montclarian ran both stories on the front page. At the top, Dean's article under the headline: "$20 Million in Treasury," countered below by another headline: "... But the Mayor Says We're Broke." At a press conference on the steps of City Hall late in December, Dean announced that he would challenge the City Auditor in the forthcoming election. He stated that as City Auditor he would "question outdated procedures and the management decisions behind the spending of taxpayers' funds" and would "emphasize the establishment of strong managerial controls over all levels of city operations." Time and funds are necessary ingredients for any political campaign. Although finding the time is a particularly difficult problem for an accountant during the busy season, Dean was able to work in campaign talks before eighteen service clubs as well as appear at "about eighty or ninety" coffee klatches, dinners and candidates nights sponsored by schools, unions, and various community groups during the four and a half month period. All in all, Dean estimates that his campaign budget was around seventeen thousand dollars. "About two thousand of this)' says Dean, "came from contributions from partners, principals and staff of the San Francisco office, and I'm deeply appreciative of their support and encouragement:' With the arduous campaign and the pressures of two elections behind him, Dean Madsen is looking ahead. "I find there is both a need and an opportunity for involvement of CPAs in the affairs of local government, and I expect to remain involved in Oakland politics, especially in the critical analysis of the city's financial administration!' • Carolina tax corps For principal Bill Convey and five staff accountants in the Charlotte office, the tax season took on new dimensions this year in the interest of low income individuals from minority groups in the area. Bill has been serving as chairman of the Minority Aid Committees of the North Carolina Society of CPAs and of the Charlotte chapter of NCSCPAs for some time. Last fall, when the chairman of the Charlotte chapter's I ncome Tax Aid Committee resigned, Bill took that job on himself and set out to find volunteers to man the neighborhood tax centers on Saturday afternoons for the two months between February 17 and April 14, to help prepare individual tax returns. The first place to look was within H&S, and Bill says, "The guys were just great. Like most CPA firms this year, we had just about all the tax work we could handle, and yet five of our people volunteered to spend from one to three weeks working with the Tax Aid Program on their own time." In addition to Bill Convey, the H&S people included Ken Burdette, John Garrity, Dave Burke, Eddie McAbee, all from the audit staff, and Larry Gies, the lone tax specialist in the group. Six additional volunteers came from the offices of two of the other "Big Eight" accounting firms in Charlotte and thirty-seven college students also helped out. "We had nineteen students from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte," says Bill. "They were a great help. We would have been in a real bind without them. We also had help from sixteen students from Johnson C. Smith University, a university here in Charlotte with a predominantly black student body, and two students from Davidson College." The Tax Aid Program was in operation at two neighborhood centers for two weeks each, then at a single center for nine weeks. In addition, on two weekday nights Bill Convey personally took his services to the Charlotte Advancement Center to provide tax help to prisoners there on work release time from the North Carolina Department of Correction. All in all, Bill and the other tax aid volunteers gave 275 hours of their time and talent to the program, preparing 400 returns on which there was a total of $29,000 in tax refunds. Bill was able to work with the program for all but two weeks during the two-month period of operation. But even during that time the returns were delivered to him for review, so that all 400 of them passed through his hands. For Bill Convey, the other H&S volunteers and the rest, the tax season in Charlotte was particularly hectic this year but, as Bill puts it, "the extra hours we put in were for a very worthy cause." •

As turbine capacity increases, so does the need for new designs and components, says co-inventor and Nestor owner Bart van Neerbos, a wind industry veteran who led the development of the 1.5-2MW Zephyros Z72 direct drive turbine. The turbine was one of the first to be fitted with a single rotor bearing.
A single bearing has been incorporated again in the Hydrautrans design, but the substantially larger bearing size required represents a major technological challenge even for component supplier market leaders. The system also incorporates a double-sided industrial precision-made steel crown gearwheel, where teeth project at right angles to the plane of the wheel, resembling the points on a crown. It also uses six (three at each side) patented floating-cup low-speed pumps, a high-speed floating-cup type motor, and a high-speed generator.
Traditional roots
"Artisan-type crown-wheels made of wood are best known from mechanical drive systems applied in Dutch four-bladed wooden windmills," said Van Neerbos. "One of the advantages is that wear of the wooden wheels and pinions could be compensated for by allowing axial adjustment of the grinding wheels on their vertical axles to maintain correct teeth engagement."
The large double-sided gear driven by the Hydrautrans rotor has an approximately four-metre outer diameter and the step-up gear ratio with the pump pinions is about 10.
"A major benefit (of crown gears) compared to functionally similar bevel gear systems (coning gearwheels) is that the matching pump pinions can be removed and refitted with little effort and without additional adjustments," explains Van Neerbos.
A life-enhancing feature of the drive train is that the gearbox is not rigidly fixed to the nacelle. An extra main bearing enables a balancing of all forces, whereby only rotor torque acts on the gearbox.
Hydraulic drive systems are often associated with low efficiency of pumps and motors compared to common mechanical-electric wind turbine drive systems with or without gearbox.
"A key pump and motor design feature is that they operate without metal-to-metal contact, offering long service life and better operating efficiency compared to state-of-the-art hydraulic devices. The combined solutions all contribute to our aim of delivering a highly competitive offshore turbine with favourable head mass and superior cost of energy", Van Neerbos said.

In late 2007, I fell really sick. As a result, I spent the next two years or so being unable to eat enough proteins to meet my daily needs and didn't do any physical exercise.
When I recovered, I started training again (mostly bodybuilding and swimming) but I never was able to go back to running like I used to. I simply didn't enough endurance to run, even in intervals. Whenever I ran, however careful and reasonable I was, I always ended up injuring myself to the calf or ankle. I gave rope skipping a try as well, but that was several times worse.
I have been taking regular walks but I'm still a long way from where I used to be, and Canadian winters are terribly cold. Are there exercises I can do to regain my past endurance quicker or must I just keep on walking?

Announcing his sabbatical from McKinley, Will reveals that Finn will replace him, causing New Directions to be displeased. Sue isn't pleased with Unique playing Rizzo and isn't too happy about Finn's offensive words towards her. Rachel and Brody discuss Rachel's first off-Broadway audition but Cassandra doubts she can make it, and makes sure Rachel's spirits are crushed. As McKinley prepares for the school production of Grease, Santana jumps in to play Rizzo, and Rachel and Kurt attend the school production even though they are aware they have to reunite with their old lovers.
The episode was directed by Michael Uppendahl and written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
PlotWill announces his sabbatical from McKinley to the Glee club, revealing that Finn will replace him until he returns - after Sectionals. Sue summons Will and Finn into Figgins' office. She objects that Finn doesn't have the credentials or maturity to oversee the Glee club, but Figgins and Will agree that Finn is simply an adult volunteer. Furious, Sue insists that if Finn remains in charge, her fragile peace with the school will be over, and she storms out in a destructive rampage.
Rachel tells Brody she's landed her first off-Broadway audition, but Cassandra warns her from her own experience that the director will eat her alive - she doesn't think Rachel's been hurt enough in life to make the cut. Determined, Rachel encourages Cassandra to try out too, "to get back in the game." Cassandra offers Brody a teaching assistant position, and he accepts but puts off starting until after he can help Rachel preparing her audition.
The Glee girls get their "Grease" wardrobe, and Kitty insinuates that Marley's inheriting her mother's weight problems when her Sandy costume doesn't fit - but Kitty had secretly altered the costume beforehand. Claiming a desire to win new friends, Kitty invites the girls over to her house for a sleepover.
Marley asks her mom about her weight gain, concerned about a genetic connection, but her mother gently reminds her that even if that's true, Marley can choose her own course: "I didn't raise a victim or a quitter - I raised a star. You have control over your life and your body." They agree to a strict diet together.
Finn attempts to apologize to Sue for his insensitive remark about her baby. Sue refuses to accept, claiming she's seen his true colors and believes he has hate in his heart. To frustrate him, she's reserved the auditorium for Cheerio practice, forcing Finn to find a new rehearsal space. Finn brings the guys to Burt's auto shop to get into character as grease monkeys and better understand the musical's themes: fixing cars, getting your hands dirty and bonding forever with your friends. They're soon performing Greased Lightning.
Kurt's tempted to return to Lima for the musical, but neither he nor Rachel are sure it's the right thing to do after their fractured romances with Blaine and Finn. Overhearing, Cassandra urges them to go to get closure or to simply just have fun - she even offers them her own frequent flyer miles.
At the sleepover, Kitty mercilessly trots out donuts, and seeing Marley's panic, she takes her aside and not-so-subtly suggests that Marley should try a binging-and-purging approach. As Marley considers it in the bathroom, Kitty makes fun of her to the other girls with the Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee routine from "Grease."
When Wade/Unique's parents learn about his Rizzo casting, they worry about his safety. Although they've been supportive, Sue fans their fears by revealing bullying incidents involving Wade. The Adams pull Wade from the musical and require him to dress as a boy at school. Tina takes a crash course in the Rizzo role but is irritated to discover that Finn has recruited Santana to take on the part she was "born to play."
Rachel and Kurt nervously return to McKinley, finding themselves awkwardly facing both Blaine and Finn. Finn assures them he's happy they came, but there's weirdness. Kurt thinks they've made a mistake in coming, and tortured looks are exchanged during Blaine's onstage performance of Beauty School Drop Out.Marley's ever-tightening wardrobe prompts her to seriously consider Kitty's advice. Ryder finds her gagging herself in the bathroom. He tells her about his second cousin, a college wrestler who tried to drop weight through extreme diets, purging and laxatives. Rather than ending with his cousin dying, Ryder instead reveals that his relative had a particularly embarrassing incident on the mat. Easing the tension, he tells her, "I don't want to kiss a girl who's got puke on her breath - onstage or later." Marley reassures herself with the Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise) goodbye refrain from "Grease."
Brittany comes to say hi to Santana as she's getting ready and tells her that she misses her and that she isn't dating anybody. Santana says that it wouldn't matter if she was, but that she's glad that she isn't. Brittany then asks her if she's nervous about her big number, but Santana says that it's all about attitude. Brittany says that as it's a sad song Santana should think about something sad, like how they're not together anymore and how it hurts, especially on Fridays because that was their date night. Santana sings There Are Worse Things I Could Do, while Wade is in the audience singing along. The shot then cuts to New York where Cassandra joins in singing too as she seduces Brody.
Meanwhile, wowed by Tina's performance, Mike wants to reconcile, and while Tina admits she was tested by the breakup, she's interested in talking about it.Marley's confidence takes another hit after Kitty reveals that a merciless theater critic is in the audience, and Ryder boosts her back up with a passionate kiss - one that doesn't escape Jake's notice. Their performance of You're the One That I Want prompts Rachel to fantasize she and Finn are singing the leads - in fact, all the glee club's fractured couples imagine dueting with their ex-loves.
But when Rachel calls Brody, Cassandra answers the phone, cruelly spelling out how she set out to teach Rachel a lesson about overreaching.Finn spots Rachel after the show, realizing she's been crying - the type of tears she reserves for guy trouble. Upset that she no longer cries over him, Finn insists that they should have no contact whenever she returns to town, and Rachel agrees, telling him, "This doesn't feel like home anymore." Blaine and Kurt also have a confrontation, with Kurt rejecting Blaine's appeal because he doesn't trust him anymore.
After positive reviews for the show, Will's pleased to leave the glee club in capable hands, but as he says goodbye to Finn, he tries to offer some final advice. "I've got this," the newly confident Finn assures him.

- Previously, the sixth episodes of each season held a mash-up competition. Starting with this episode, the tradition has been broken.
- The magazine that Sue is holding when Finn enters the teacher's faculty lounge has a photo of Becky on the front cover and features an exclusive interview.
- This is the fourth episode containing a wordplay with the word "Glee" in its title, the others being The Rocky Horror Glee Show, A Very Glee Christmas, Saturday Night Glee-ver, and Glee, Actually.
- The first time that Unique's parents appear.
- You're the One That I Want is heard for the third time. First in Pilot, secondly in Hairography and then in this episode. Both Finn and Rachel are involved in the three performances.
- This episode got a 2.1 rating with a total of 5.22 million viewers. Source
- Kitty says "There's no small parts, just fat actresses." This is a reference to a quote from Russian actor Constantin Stanislavsi "There are no small parts, only small actors". Surf legend Bethany Hamilton also referred to this with "There isn't big waves, just small surfers".
- In Home, April Rhodes bought the WMHS auditorium for the Glee Club's use after Sue booked it for Cheerios and to take away the club's ability to practice. Since the school doesn't own it anymore and April/Glee club does, Sue shouldn't have been able to book it without their permission.
- Marley asks Kitty if she makes herself throw up and Kitty replies that she would if she had the fat gene, meaning that she doesn't. However, one episode later, in Dynamic Duets, Kitty says that she used to feel fat just like Marley but making herself throw up helped her.
- Greased Lightning is performed by Kenickie instead of Danny in the stage version of Grease, therefore, it would have been unnecessary to have Ryder rehearse for Sam's part.
- You're the One That I Want is not in the stage version of Grease. However, some schools and theaters add it for their production which is what McKinley might have done. Even if that were true, You're the One That I Want is not the final song in Grease, even though in the episode it's right before curtain.
- When Artie is reading the reporter's review, the reporter said "last night" when they put on the performance that night.

Aesthetics and Politics
REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBLE: ART AGAINST AUTHORITY by Josh MacPhee, Erik Reuland, editors :: There has always been a close relationship between aesthetics and politics in anti-authoritarian social movements. And those movements have in turn influenced many of the last century's most important art movements, including cubism, Dada, post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism, Fluxus, Situationism, and punk. Today, the movement against corporate globalization, with its creative acts of resistance, has brought anti-authoritarian politics into the forefront. This sprawling, inclusive collection explores this vibrant history, with topics ranging from turn-of-the-century French cartoonists to modern Indonesian printmaking, from people rolling giant balls of trash down Chicago streets to massive squatted urban villages and renegade playgrounds in Denmark, from stencil artists of Argentina to radical video collectives of the US and Mexico. Lots of illustrations, all b&w.;

Health care is not 'business as usual'
Grand Rapids Business Journal this week reports on the growing trend of physician recruitment to large health care entities, the resulting closures of private practices, and the escalation of prices in the process. It is another example of the underlying factors pushing health care costs to almost 20 percent of the GDP. It is certainly less obvious in general reporting with regard to impact on overall cost increases, but it is another example of why health benefit costs continue to rise for employers.
Even while physician shortages continue to increase across the country — and especially in Michigan — the impact of the current trend exacerbates the problem and escalates the shortages. Nationally, according to The Wall Street Journal, the Association of American Medical Colleges reported the U.S. will find itself short 62,900 physicians in the next five years, and more than 91,500 by 2020. The pending crisis in Michigan is on Gov. Rick Snyder's agenda dashboard, and is one reason for the proliferation in medical colleges in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and the proposed program at Central Michigan University.
The issue has been one of more private than public discussion among physicians for a decade, but when Spectrum Health bear-hugged Michigan Medical PC into a "unit" owned by Spectrum, such discussion became more apparent and grew increasingly alarmed. So, too, when Spectrum "merged" the West Michigan Heart practice group into its system. The Business Journal noted in comment at the time that the large health system also had revoked hospital privileges of those physicians operating outside the groups it owns.
In the report updating such efforts this week, further measure is given to the cost impacts of such required alliances. While standard business expectation anticipates lowering costs by bulk use, the cost for physician services and medical imaging diagnoses has actually increased. It is another example of why health care cannot be compared to private enterprise or "free market" principles.
One of the sources for the report this week (see page 1), physician Fred Davis, who owns ProCare Systems, noted: "A big hospital system, prices for tests, for procedures and evaluations and things actually go up. And so that is another reason why a private practice that's run efficiently can actually effectively compete on cost."
Further impact is caused as hospital systems give priority to physicians on staff for test results, often delaying results to independent physicians — or forcing them into the hospital group. Alliance for Health director Lody Zwarensteyn said doctors' work does tend to become more expensive when they are within a medical care system, as opposed to working in their own private practice. He attributes that to what he calls "corporate pricing," in which a large organization requires a unit charge for each individual service it provides, whereas a doctor in private practice may typically charge one set fee.
Another factor that can add to cost is what Zwarensteyn calls "conflict of duty." For example, a hospital may urge its staff to use its own under-utilized lab. "Who is the doctor's duty to? The patient or the employer?" said Zwarensteyn.
Employers must recognize that the business of health care is not "business as usual," and must understand the underlying impact to their revenue stream as benefit costs reflect such impacts.

Pictured: The Crimson second varsity edges ahead of the Big Red.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard heavyweight crew overcame challenging racing conditions and early leads by Cornell in two of four races to sweep the Big Red on a windy Saturday morning on the Charles River.
The third-ranked Crimson varsity eight started its spring season with a 17.9-second victory, and the second and third varsities came from behind to win. Harvard's freshmen made an impressive collegiate debut, defeating Cornell's rookies by 14.3 seconds. All four races were contested directly into a fierce headwind, and the conditions deteriorated as the morning progressed.
"They were very, very challenging conditions, and I thought the guys dealt with them well," said Harry Parker, The Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew.
The toughest conditions came in the final event, the varsity eight, with whitecap waves in the first quarter of the race. The Crimson was up to the challenge, building its lead throughout and finishing in 6:58.9. Sixth-ranked Cornell crossed in 7:16.8. Harvard's freshman eight earlier pulled away from the Big Red to win in 6:48.3.
Cornell's second varsity led by as much as three-quarters of a boat length in the early going, but Harvard evened the race by the midway point. The Crimson took control from there and went on to win by 9.3 seconds with a time of 6:50.7.
"It was tough rowing, and all our crews did very well," Parker said. "I was particularly pleased with the junior varsity coming back after trailing by so much in the early going. The third varsity was a very good race, a great duel."
The Crimson and Big Red third varsities raced first and closest. After the Harvard boat was stopped by an over-the head crab within the breakage zone, the race was restarted and Cornell got off the line well. The Big Red stretched its advantage to as much six seats in the second 500 meters. Harvard, however, drew even and the race was tightly contested until the Crimson won by a half-length.

Cloud Atlas is a $100m epic spanning centuries and continents; and no matter your review of the final film, you have to admire the project's ambitions.
The film was directed by three high-profile directors who have box-office hits behind them (including the Wachowskis' billion-dollar-plus Matrix franchise) and it stars Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.
Yet it was made outside the studio system. To be fair, there was support for Cloud Atlas from Warner Bros (the studio was on board for a reported $25m deal for North America, plus other key territories), but the project was pulled together independently.
More and more, studios are focusing on their bigger and bigger tentpoles, so the more modestly budgeted $20m-$100m projects are moving into the independent space, which offers a good opportunity for the rest of the film world.
Among the growing number of big, commercial films being made outside the studio system there are a lot of thrillers but also intelligent adult dramas. The studios may be concentrating on those $200m and $300m juggernauts but they still have release slots to fill for lower-budgeted films, which provides a great opportunity for the independent sector to sell on those films.
This point was made succinctly last year by Stephen Cornwell, who has written films such as Unknown and also set up UK production outfit Ink Factory to work on films in the $20m-$30m range (some based on adaptations of his father John le Carré's books). "There is an increasing appetite for intelligent, mid-level movies… and the studios realised they didn't have the capacity to make what they needed. But they want to distribute them," he said.
Cloud Atlas — which drew much of its finance from Germany — isn't the only project to tap into non US-finance for large-scale global films. For example, StudioCanal and Working Title made Tinker Tailor Soldier Spyoutside of Working Title's Universal deal, and StudioCanal and Silver Pictures are now preparing Liam Neeson thriller Non-Stop, re-teaming him with Unknown director Jaume Collet-Serra.
There are examples far and wide: Ron Howard is making his first independent film, Formula 1 story Rush, with Working Title, Revolution and Imagine. Red Granite led the way for Martin Scorsese's drama The Wolf Of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
If and when these films hit, it means a broader spectrum of companies — independent producers, sales companies and distributors among them — reaping financial rewards. Rather than a studio's small film being a modest hit and pumping cash into the studio's next franchise.
It also makes the market much more exciting as these kinds of projects are fair game for buyers at both studio level and big independent level. Yes, it might have been easier — in the best cases — to have a studio write one giant check for a greenlight, but there's a lot of upside working the independent way.
True Thrills
Seeing the shortlist of 15 films for the best documentary Oscar, I was reminded these aren't just some of the greatest documentary films of the year, they are some of the greatest films of the year, period.
Following CPH:DOX and IDFA, it's a good time to remember just how the documentary format can introduce innovative forms of storytelling.
One example this year is Bart Layton's The Imposter, which was one of the most exciting thrillers of the year. In the mesmerising UK trailer for the film, it wasn't quite clear whether it was fact or fiction. And you know what, it didn't matter.
After last year's shameful omission of Senna on the Oscar shortlist, this year's list looks pretty solid. There will be gripes about a few snubs; but on the flip side it also includes deserving riskier choices such as How To Survive A Plague.

Ashlee Simpson has been linked to Diana Ross' son, Evan, in the press for several weeks now, but the new couple decided to make their relationship public at the launch of her sister's fall fashion campaign launch on Tuesday.
"Evan and Ashlee have been friends for a really long time, probably ten years," a source told Us Weekly at the time. "They know each other from the club scene and have tons of mutual friends."
As if the event photos weren't enough proof, another source confirmed their relationship: "It helps that they were friends first. They have a long bond. They already know each other really well."
Ashlee wasn't only at the event for moral support. The 28-year-old singer and actress is the star of Jessica's fall line in a photo campaign shot by photographer Ellen von Unwerth (photos above).
Speaking to reporters at the event, Ashlee described her sister's style as a "bit more girlie."
"I kind of like to bring an edge to my looks. I do like to be in dresses, I just like to toughen it," she added.
"We were all having a good time, kicking dirt in pretty dresses. They did tell us to look for ticks! And I was like, 'OK, I'm just going to roll in the dirt,'" she said of the photo shoot, which you can see more of in the video below.

New York, July 26, 2011--The decapitated head and body of veteran reporter Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz was found early this morning, according to officials in the Mexican state of Veracruz. The journalist was abducted on Sunday by armed men as she left her house.
Ordaz covered the police beat for the main Veracruz city newspaper, Notiver, but her body was found near the building of the newspaper Imagen. Reporters in Veracruz told CPJ that the gruesome killing and the placement of the body appeared to be an ominous message meant for the press. In a press conference, the state prosecutor, Reynaldo Escobar Pérez, denied that Ordaz's murder was linked to her work, and said the evidence seemed to indicate that her killers were members of organized crime. However, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office, Magda Zayas, told CPJ that the journalist's work was one of the lines of investigation they are following.
A note found with the body seems to connect Ordaz's murder to the killing of the widely known columnist Miguel Angel López Velasco, his wife, and son, a photographer with the newspaper, on June 20, according to Zayas. She said the note was signed "Carranza," and said: "Friends can also betray you." The Associated Press reported that Veracruz state investigators have identified former traffic police officer Juan Carlos Carranza Saavedra as the main suspect in the López murder.
Mexico's Human Rights Commission said it would open its own investigation into Ordaz's killing, according to the AP.
Ordaz is the fourth journalist from Veracruz to be killed this year. In addition to López and his son, the body of Noel López Olguín, a columnist with the newspaper La Verdad de Jáltipan who went missing in March, was found buried in a clandestine grave on May 31.
"Yolanda Ordaz's murder is part of a troubling lethal trend that has made Veracruz an extremely dangerous place to be a journalist," said Carlos Lauría, CPJ's senior program coordinator for the Americas. "We urge Mexican authorities to conduct a thorough investigation, establish the motives of the crime, and put an end to impunity in journalists' slaying by bringing Ordaz's killers to justice."
Reporters in Veracruz city told CPJ that Ordaz had worked for as long as three decades covering the police and was very close to López and his family.
Drug-related violence now makes Mexico one of the world's most dangerous countries for the press, according to CPJ research. Fifteen journalists, including Ordaz, have been killed since 2010, at least four in direct reprisal for their work. CPJ is investigating whether the other eleven deaths were related to the journalists' work. According to CPJ's 2011 Impunity Index, Mexico's rating worsened for the third consecutive year, with 13 cases of journalists' murdered unsolved, putting it at eighth on the list. The index identifies countries worldwide where journalists are murdered regularly and governments are unable or unwilling to solve the crimes.

Here's an idea: have a police escort anytime she drives the car to protect herself and others. I guess she doesn't read Jalopnik, because if she did she'd know where to find another SL65 on the cheap. [TMZ]

Recently I noticed a couple answers like this one: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() *updated
all bearing same features:
- old question
- pointless answer, just duplicating ones already given several years ago.
- it's the only answer from the account
- a website mentioned in the user's profile.
I am just curious is it some sort of spam or indeed pointless answer from some unsophisticated person?

The father of missing U.S. airman Halex Hale told NBC News Sunday he doesn't believe the theory that his son was drunk and fell into a canal.
Lance Hale, Halex's father, doesn't accept Italian authorities' theory, saying a fellow airman told him his son left the party without his wallet, keys and cell phone.
Grigoletto Michele, the national police captain, said Hale — who was assigned to the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano Air Base north of Venice — was reported missing after leaving a friend's house on the night of July 2.
U.S. & World
More than 200 people scrubbed an area of about 4 square miles but didn't find Hale or his belongings. Grigoletto said a drunk Hale "fell into one of the nearby canals."
He told NBC News investigators called off the search until new information emerges.

Police in a central Florida city have been issuing scratch-off lottery tickets instead of speeding tickets to Christmas Day travelers.
By early Wednesday afternoon, Melbourne Police officers had handed out 30 lottery tickets along with warnings to drivers caught speeding or making other traffic violations.
Sgt. Jamie Rocque tells Florida Today that officers bought the lottery tickets with their own money to spread a bit of holiday cheer while ensuring public safety.
Rocque says the officers have been getting "a lot of surprised looks."

Federal Enforcement Policy Is Up in Smoke
Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement that the federal government will end raids on medical marijuana distributors is terrific news.
The Bush administration's scorched‐earth approach to the enforcement of federal marijuana laws was a grotesque misallocation of law enforcement resources. The U.S. government has a limited number of law enforcement personnel, and when a unit is assigned to conduct surveillance on a California hospice, that unit is necessarily neglecting leads in other cases that possibly involve more violent criminal elements.
This shift in policy is also more mindful of the constitutional principle of federalism by allowing the states to try different policy approaches, and it is more respectful of the division of opinion within the medical community about the benefits of marijuana for certain patients. This de‐escalation of the drug war is good policy and is long overdue.

In FIFA.com's latest stats review, a record-breaking Tim Cahill goal comes under the microscope along with a red card in Portugal, a stalemate in Spain, a remarkable record in Italy and a century in England.
Premier League goals was the landmark reached by Steven Gerrard on Saturday in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Newcastle United. The Reds captain slotted home from the penalty spot in his 449th league appearance to become only the club's third player, after Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, to complete such a century. The goal came almost 14 years after Gerrard's first, against Sheffield Wednesday on 5 December 1999, and was his 20th successful penalty conversion. Team-mate Daniel Sturridge was also on target and has now found the net in each of his last six away Premier League matches, a record only Robin van Persie (9) can better.
consecutive matches was the point at which Barcelona's mammoth La Liga scoring run came to an end on Saturday. The Spanish champions drew 0-0 at Osasuna, bringing to a close a streak that began in January 2012 and almost doubled the previous record, set by Real Madrid's 35-match run. The goalless draw also ended Barça's club record run of eight successive wins at the start of their league campaign. Nonetheless, Gerardo Martino's side remain unbeaten in 14 competitive matches this season and have notched up eight clean sheets along the way. Indeed, keeping out Osasuna enabled Victor Valdes to equal Iker Casillas's tally of 165 clean sheets in La Liga.
seconds were on the clock when Tim Cahill scored the fastest goal in Major League Soccer history on Sunday. The speed with which the Australia international struck comfortably earned him the US top flight record, beating by a clear three seconds the previous quickest, scored by Dwayne De Rosario in 2003. Cahill had himself taken the centre before charging forward to receive a long, drilled pass from Dax McCarty, which he brought down on his chest and smashed into the top corner from the edge of the area. The goal, Cahill's fourth in his last five league appearances, set New York Red Bulls on the road to a 3-0 win over Houston Dynamo. It also leaves them needing just one more win at home to Chicago Fire on Sunday to guarantee the Supporters Shield for the best regular season record in either MLS conference.
yellow cards within 20 seconds of each other saw Porto's Hector Herrera earn a dismissal after just six minutes of Porto's 1-0 defeat to Zenit last night. It was the fastest such sending off in the history of the UEFA Champions League, although there have been two quicker straight red cards: Newcastle United's Craig Bellamy and Werder Bremen's Valerien Ismael both went after five minutes, and both in matches against Inter Milan. Porto struggled without their Mexican midfielder and have now lost back-to-back home Champions League matches for the first time in over 11 years. Nor were they the only team to toil in their own backyard. Schalke suffered their biggest-ever home Champions League reverse, going down 3-0 to Chelsea and ending Jose Mourinho's six-match losing streak away to German teams. Steaua Bucharest, meanwhile, set a new competition record by failing to win for the 12th successive home match, eclipsing Spartak Moscow's existing benchmark, set between 2001 and 2006.
goal is all that Roma have conceded in their opening eight Serie A matches, enabling them to equal the league record. I Giallarossi are also celebrating having won their first eight Serie A matches for the first time in their history, a feat that only Juventus – in 1930/31, 1985/86 and 2005/06 – had previously achieved. Juve themselves endured a weekend to forget, letting slip a 2-0 half-time lead to lose 4-2 at Fiorentina. It was the Florence outfit's first home win over Juventus since Gabriel Batistuta scored the only goal of a December 1998 encounter, and the hero on this occasion was Giuseppe Rossi, who claimed his first-ever career hat-trick. It was the first match in which Antonio Conte's Juve have conceded four goals and brought to an end the champions' ten-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

FamilySearch Forums has a new look and more integration into the FamilySearch.org family of websites. The new URL is https://www.familysearch.org/learn/forums/en/index.php. One of the changes involves incorporating the consolidated sign-in procedure for the site making it compatible with the other FamilySearch and LDS websites. You can now login with either your LDS Account or your FamilySearch account. The transition is designed to allow you to merge your old sign-in account with the new one, thereby preserving your history of posts. One benefit of the change over is that you no longer have to sign in separately for the Forums site.
Hopefully, this step towards greater integration of the site with the rest of the websites will result in a higher profile for Forums. Here is a screen shot of the Forums startup page:
You can see that the program is still called FamilySearch Forums (beta), but it has a new look. Of course, if you haven't visited the site before, you won't know that it has changed. Even though the URL has changed the old link still works. Currently, although the site is linked to FamilySearch.org, it is literally buried in the FamilySearch Research Wiki. The only link is under the Community link which comes up closed. Although some of the users of FamilySearch.org are becoming acquainted with the Research Wiki, it is unlikely that many have made their way to the Forums unless they randomly click on links to see what happens. Even if you are lucky enough to find the link, clicking takes you to the Wiki Sub-forums as shown in the following screen shot:
From there, you have to know that the rest of the Forums exist and click on the link in the upper left-hand corner.
The Forums are divided into two main areas: FamilySearch Support and Research Advice. The site presently has 1,719 active members with 12,200 total members. It could be a valuable tool for all of the users of the FamilySearch websites, but hidden, like it is, it will have a low profile. There has been some discussion about raising the site's prominence but apparently those steps have yet to be taken.
Even though there is a facelift, it appears that the site maintains its functionality. When I logged in this morning responsiveness of the site seemed to be way slow but that could have been my connection.

Summer salsa recipe: Beet salsa with habanero
Beet salsa with habanero. It's not nearly as ambitious as it sounds, and it's an excellent way to dress up a grilled steak or a basket of tortilla chips. And it's from "Truly Mexican," by Roberto Santibanez.
Use Colorado beets with this recipe. (Find them at a local farmers market.)
Beet Salsa with Habanero
From "Truly Mexican," by Roberto Santibanez. Makes 3 cups.
3 medium beets, rinsed and stems removed
2 pencil-thin scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1/3 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely diced yellow bell pepper
1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 fresh habanero chile, minced, including seeds
1/2 teaspoon fine salt, or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and tightly wrap the beets in foil. Bake the beets until they are tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Let them stand wrapped in foil for 15 minutes to help loosen the skins, then open the foil and peel the beets when they're cool enough to handle. Finely dice the beets; you will have 1 1/2 to 2 cups.
Mix the beets in a bowl with the remainign ingredients and let the salsa stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before you serve it. Season to taste with additional lime juice and salt.

Ginger Goodell of San Luis Obispo, California, has been named the 2012 recipient of the Walter Lee Sheppard Jr. Prize, bestowed annually upon genealogists who demonstrate sound practices and exceptional potential. Candidates for the award are drawn from the Advanced Research Methodology and Evidence Analysis track at Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research. The stipend awarded to each recipient covers the preliminary and final application fees for pursuing certification by the Board for Certification of Genealogists.
Past recipients of the prize include Judy Russell, CG, of Avenel, New Jersey; David Ouimette, AG, CG, of Highland Utah; Phil Burnett Adderly, CG, of Shreveport, Louisiana; and Teri Tillman, CG, of Natchez, Mississippi.
The Samford University IGHR and the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) were both founded in 1964 by a cadre of genealogical educators seeking to advance quality and professionalism within the field. Across the decades, BCG has co-sponsored the IGHR; and a significant number of Board-certified genealogists have been its course coordinators and instructors.
The prize itself memorializes the late Walter Lee Sheppard Jr., one of the twentieth-century's leading genealogical scholars whose example strongly promoted sound reasoning and careful analysis in all genealogical specialties. As a mentor, his discerning eye could be counted upon to identify a missed source or clue in family reconstructions, thereby strengthening a colleague's conclusions. A founder and president of BCG, Lee was also a fellow and president of the American Society of Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society, the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, and other bodies. In 2007, he was elected to the National Genealogy Hall of Fame.
The Sheppard Prize is privately funded by an IGHR Track 4 graduate, for whom Lee acted as mentor and patron. The prize has no affiliation with the Board for Certification of Genealogists itself.

I would take the Oilers young players over the Avalanches. Taylor Hall is a future Top 5 player along with Nugent Hopkins. Taylor Hall is almost already a superstar. Nugent-Hopkins won't be too far behind, I see those two hitting early stardom the way Toews and Kane did. Landeskog and Dushcene are the next tier down, good players but not in the same league. Also, Eric Johnson is borderline bust and Stastny ain't turning out as expected. O'Reilly is a solid two-way player but not a super highly skilled star in the making.Potatoe1 wrote:The Sedins are just 31 and given their style of play and fitness level they likely wont decline until well into their mid 30's.RoyalDude wrote:I'm not to enamored with what we have comimg down the pipe to be replacing the Sedins as they start to decline. Sorry to say, but Cody ain't no Sedin. I like Cody, but he ain't the next coming. It's pretty much Cody vs Hall/Nugent-Hopkins/Eberle/Paajarvi/Omark/Gagner. Way too early to call Jensen a sure thing. Gillis needs to fatten the future a little bit more, cause After the Sedins start to slip, the Oilers will be eating us for Breakfast for many years, post Sedin dominance.
Point being, it is very premature to be worrying about how we will be able to compete with another team that really has yet to prove a thing.
Personally I'm a bit surprised so many have fixated on Edmonton when the Av's seem to have just as my quality young players and a far better balance positionaly.
Stasney, Duchane, Johnson, O'reily, and Landeskog, seems like a pretty dam fantastic young core as well.
I think we all have a lot of angst over Alberta having a better team then Vancouver.
The Sedins are a decade and more older than the Oilers young stars, in 3-4 years when we will be seeing the demise of the Sedin dominance, the young Oilers won't even be mid twenties yet. And who do we have to go head to head with the likes of their youth along with the Avalanches in our division? Cody will need a lot more help.
Yes, I know, way too early to be talking like this, but this is first time in a while where I am not seeing the next generation of Canuck star(S) knocking on the heels of the current Canuck Stars. We still have some good years with this group as we are relatively middle-aged in hockey years, but the true test for Gillis is will he be able to maintain a competitive team as this current group ages as we see the young gun Oilers and Avalanche on the verge.
The one thing that is not making hate the Booth trade completely is that Gillis got a 3rd round pick. Hopefully this is a sign of whats to come from Gillis, an eye on the future, instead of unloading draft picks galore like he as up to this point.

I love milestone posts! This is my 200th post! Woop Woop! I've been blogging for 10 months. In that time, we've been read in 61 countries by almost 50,000 of our closest friends. Kind of blows my mind that anyone thinks we're even remotely interesting.
So here we are. I kept trying to think of something monumental and clever to do with the 200th post. For the 100th, I did fun facts about myself. For 200, I've got nothing! Seriously- my creativity is kaput.
And my mind and my body are dog tired from hosting our yard sale for the Congo today. The good news is, though, that we raised almost $1000 for kids in need in the DRC who are desperate for it!
So since I am not feeling up to coming up with anything and I feel like I've already blogged about everything under the sun, I could use your help! What do you want to read about? Got a burning question for me? Got a topic you want me to discuss? Leave me a comment and let me know. Nothing is off limits I'll pick a few of the comments and write about it for post number 201. Stay tuned! And thanks for commenting!

Celebrate National Blueberry Month
By: Morgan Robbins, RD, LD at LMC
July is National Blueberry Month – which means blueberry season is quickly approaching. Blueberries are generally ready to be picked late July to mid August. Don't let their small size fool you; blueberries are packed with a nutritional punch that can benefit everyone's diet.
Phytonutrients in blueberries are called polyphenols which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The anti-inflammatory properties of polyphenols help reduce the inflammatory process associated with chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Along with being delicious, blueberries have tons of health benefits too:
• 80 calories per cup- great for snacking
• Low in fat
• Almost four grams of fiber
• 25% of your daily Vitamin C- supports the immune system
• Great source of manganese- important for bone development and converting food into energy
This summer, try adding blueberries to your salads, oatmeal, pancakes, desserts, yogurts, smoothies and cereals. Try this blueberry smoothie recipe to beat the heat, a healthy treat that everyone is sure to enjoy!
Blueberry Smoothie
1 fresh or frozen banana, peeled and cut into pieces
6 oz plain, non-fat yogurt
¾ cup skim milk or milk alternative
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
½ cup ice cubs (optional)
Blend until smooth! This smoothie provides approximately 200 calories, 4.5 grams fat (0gm saturated fat), 10 gm protein, 36 gm carbohydrates and 10 gm protein.

- Use & Care
Wood Care
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Brush or vacuum regularly (use a nonmetallic stiff-bristle brush).
- Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Dab spills immediately with a soft white cloth dampened with distilled water (not tap water). Test fabric cleaners first in an inconspicuous area. Do not saturate fabric with cleaner. Pat instead of rub to avoid altering texture. Clean stain from outer edge to prevent "circling."
- Thorough cleaning is recommended every 12 to 24 months. Do not wait for severe soiling. We recommend a professional in-home upholstery cleaning service.
- Do not remove cushion casings for cleaning. Unlike slipcovers, upholstered casings are not meant to be removed.
Leather Care Instructions
- Never use detergents, polishes, preservers or saddle soap. They can remove natural oils.
- Dust or vacuum for routine maintenance.
- Do not place in direct sunlight; it will lighten or discolor leather over time.
- Dab spills immediately with a soft white cloth dampened in distilled water (not tap water). If spill penetrates leather, use lukewarm distilled water and a soft white cloth to massage stain and surrounding area. Blot with a dry cloth and allow leather to air dry.
- Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. Friction and heat from rubbing helps to redistribute wax in surrounding areas to cover the scratch. Not all scratches have the same depth, and this may not work on deeper scratches.
Composition & Construction
- Our leather upholstered products are constructed from aniline leather. Only the top 5% of hides can be made into aniline leather, making it the finest available. The full-grain or top-grain leathers are soaked in transparent nontoxic dye, with no subsequent pigmented finish coats applied. Dye penetrates the hides, letting the natural grain show through. Our ivory leather is an exception to this process; they are semi-aniline dyed, with a layer of pigment applied afterwards.
- Anilines have natural markings that vary from hide to hide. They also have color variations due to the leather's ability to accept dyes differently in various areas of a hide. Markings and shading distinguish genuine leather from man-made materials. Appreciating shade differences among hides also means appreciating them on individual furniture pieces, because no two pieces can be produced from a single hide.
- Our leathers appeal to customers who find the natural color variations, markings and patina of pure aniline leathers unique and beautiful. They may not appeal to customers who want uniform color and surface commonly seen on less expensive leathers that are heavily corrected and pigmented.

A Legal Setback for Net Neutrality Advocates
On Tuesday April 6th, a three-judge panel from the federal appeals bench ruled that the Federal Communications Commission has no authority to place "net neutrality" requirements on Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The unanimous ruling overturned the FCC's August 2008 order for Comcast to cease slowing BitTorrent transfers. Comcast later voluntarily changed its own policy and agreed to treat BitTorrent traffic no differently from other traffic. However, the issue of the FCC's legal authority still remained, Continue Reading →

Illinois shocks No. 1 Hoosiers!
By Jeff Mayfield
Send a link to a friend
(Originally posted Friday)
[February 09, 2013]
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA -- The Illinois
Fighting Illini won a thrilling 74-72 Big Ten contest over No. 1
Indiana Thursday night on a buzzer-beater by the beleaguered Tyler
This game had a Hoosier victory
written all over it. The Illini hung tough with them for most of the
first half until Indiana started converting 3-pointers seemingly
every trip down the court. Illinois had a decent game plan on
defending Indiana's All-World center Cody Zeller, and that kept the
game from getting out of hand. The Illini defense limited Zeller to
only six shot attempts for the entire game! And they held Indiana to
just 44 percent shooting in the second half. Illinois' defense
forced IU into 14 turnovers on the night.
Illinois also hung tough on the boards, an area I thought Indiana
might exploit going into the game. The final tally was 26-30, with
IU holding a slight edge, but the Illini's relentless pursuit of the
basketball kept that battle close enough to give Illinois enough
chances to find a way. But it sure didn't seem like there was going
to be much of a way as the Illini trailed 29-41 at halftime. By then
it appeared as if IU had figured the Illini out and were in the
process of pulling away.
However, several things that happened in the second half made you
think Illinois might have a chance.
First, there was head coach John Groce. As frustrated as he was
from time to time, including one incident where he called timeout
after just drawing up a play resulting in at least two players going
to the wrong spots, he never wavered. I wasn't seeing much hope,
sitting a couple of rows behind him, but he was immersed in it,
coaching it like it was a one-point game. Sadly, Indiana had been
maintaining an eight-, 10-, 12-point lead. But Groce never succumbed
to the frustration.
Then there was D.J. Richardson. His face was plastered on the
game program/poster, and that turned out to be a good omen! He
finished the night with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting,
including 4 of 8 from downtown... How big was that? I'll tell you
how big. In the final minutes of the game he hit not one but two
huge 3s AND a long step-back deuce that brought Illinois all the way
back, or at least within striking distance. I saw it but I still
can't believe it, and I'm struggling to figure out how it all
happened, much less communicate it to you.
One way previously mentioned was the outstanding coaching of
Groce. Illinois scored on a variety of inbounds plays, of all
things, where the open man sprang open as a result of setting
multiple picks, flashing to the ball and getting good shots in
rhythm. That would prove to be a big part of the final scene and the
final outcome.
Another big aspect of the Illini's outstanding upset was the
return of Tyler Griffey. No, he hasn't been gone, just mired in a
slump. And while that is somewhat of an understatement, is there a
better game to come out against than the one with Indiana? I think
not. His 14 points and eight rebounds were critical to the Illini's
magnificent effort. Two of his buckets were 3s, and the roof was
raised when he dropped those in. That may be the only thing I'd
praise our crowd about.
Furthermore, I'd like to see an investigation into the number of
our patrons who either gave away or sold their tickets to our
opponents for the contest. I have been following the Orange and Blue
only since the '70s, but I have never seen that many opposing fans
in our building ever. It was sad, it was depressing, and more than
one observer was not very happy about it. Listen to the tape and you
will hear a good discussion about it between the "Voice of the
Illini," Brian Barnhart, and the analyst, Illini great Jerry Hester.
I couldn't agree more with my colleagues. That has to stop and
should never be allowed to happen again.
[to top of second column]
Anyway, back to Griffey. Somehow the stage was set for his
coming-out party to finish with crescendo. Richardson and Paul, who
finished with 21 points of his own, were somehow keeping us in the
game. But Indiana's balanced scoring of Zeller with 14, Watford with
12 and Hulls with 11, not to mention Sheehey's 13 and Oladipo's
nine, had seemingly put the game out of reach. Perhaps Indiana
missed a chance to put the Illini away. They would rue that mistake.
But as I mentioned previously, Illinois' Richardson was a one-man
wrecking crew in the final minutes. His eight-point outburst in just
three or four possessions and two big free throws by Paul gave the
good guys a chance. Oladipo tried to keep his guys No. 1 by
attacking the rim, converting and giving the Hoosiers a brief
two-point lead prior to Paul's charity tosses. When Paul tied the
game, Oladipo tried once more to take the rock to the rack. Somehow
fate stepped in. Somehow the ball just squirted free. Richardson
gathered it and headed to the other end. Oladipo didn't hesitate,
raced back and swatted D.J's would-be game winner into the pep band.
At that point Illinois had no timeouts left. Coach Crean said he
didn't want to call one of his two remaining timeouts because he
didn't want to give the Illini a chance to set up a game-winning
lob. In retrospect, maybe he should have. Even though I have heard
some interviews saying that we ran a set inbounds play on the final
shot, I'm still not convinced. With 0.9 seconds left on the clock,
you are probably just going to have to get it and fire up a
desperation 3 or throw it in the paint and hope for a tip-in.
Instead, Illinois ran what kids used to call a Chinese fire
drill. The Illini had people running in all different directions.
Paul faked a pass, I think to maybe D.J., right in front of him in
the corner. I think he looked at maybe Joe Bertrand out top. When he
faked the dive to Richardson, Griffey came over and there were like
five players in a scrum. It looked like the heyday of roller derby
action. With all that misdirection going on, it sucked Indiana into
chasing all of our players around. Griffey somehow got free and
looked like he was shot out of a cannon, running toward the hoop. In
fact, I've never seen him move that fast. Indiana hasn't either,
because no one could catch him on his way to glory.
Brandon Paul was the trigger man standing with the ball out of
bounds. Paul has struggled with his passing some the last few
seasons, so I will admit, I was more than a little bit nervous with
the ball in his hands. But his fakes, his eye contact and his
PERFECT bounce pass to Griffey made one of the most beautiful things
I have ever seen in my life. Paul couldn't believe how open he was.
Griffey himself couldn't believe how open he was. But who cares? We
won... 74-72... poetic justice and a thing of beauty. Why not?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs M from Perfect Size I purchased the large roaster a year ago. The size is great because it holds a lot more than your average 9x13 pan and the sides are higher. When I make a breakfast casserole it easily holds 1 1/2 to 2 times the single recipe. It works perfectly to serve pierogies because it can go right into the oven to keep warm. I use it a lot more than I expected. The quality is great. Nothing seems to stick to it and it washes up beautifully. The Pillivuyt and Apilco serving pieces look nice whether I use china or my everyday white dishes.Date published: 2018-12-28Rated 5 out of 5 by paba from My Favorite dish for baking and roasting. I wish that I had found these roasters years ago. I bought both sizes. They cook the food evenly and hold the heat for serving. Cleanup is easy. And they are beautiful!Date published: 2016-03-01Rated 5 out of 5 by KBranford from Beautiful and Functional I own both sizes of the Pillivuyt Rectangular Roaster (the size 0 and the size 1), and I can say without a doubt that I LOVE them both! As with all of the Pillivuyt products that we own, the quality and craftsmanship is impeccable - these pieces really are every bit as beautiful as they are functional. They heat gently and evenly, and everything that I have made in them has turned out perfectly! Not to mention the fact that clean up is a breeze - it still surprises me, honestly, but it doesn't take much to get them clean. I'm saving up to add to my Pillivuyt collection, and would love to buy another of each size. I know the pieces can be expensive, but it really is an investment - when you cook as much as I do, the enjoyment that you get out of using equipment that you love really is worth it...not to mention the fact that these pieces should last for many, many years :-)Date published: 2013-02-07

Story highlights
- Defense secretary wants to curb commanders' judicial power
- Air Force commander threw out verdict, restored defendant
In response to an Air Force colonel's overturned sexual assault conviction, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is asking Congress to limit military commanders' authority to toss out court-martial verdicts.
"These changes would increase the confidence of service members and the public that the military justice system will do justice in every case," Hagel said in a statement Monday announcing the initiative.
Hagel also wants to require commanders who change court-martial sentences to explain their decisions in writing.
The effort comes in response to the case of Air Force Col. James Wilkerson. The F-16 pilot was freed last year from a Navy brig four months after a court-martial convicted him of sexually assaulting a woman at his home outside Aviano Air Base in Italy.
Acting under the military justice system's Article 60, the Air Force's top commanding officer in Europe, Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, exercised his power as "convening authority" of the court-martial to overturn the conviction.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was among those expressing outrage over the decision.
"As we are trying to send a signal to women ... I question now whether that unit that that man returns to, whether there's any chance a woman who is sexually assaulted in that unit would ever say a word," McCaskill said during a hearing in March.
Lisa Windsor, a former Army Judge Advocate General officer, said any base commander has authority to do what Franklin did, but "I've actually never seen that happen before, that a convening authority would completely overturn the case."
Hagel ordered a review of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and Monday's announcement is the result. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretaries of the various services support the changes, he said.
"Despite the attention and efforts of senior leaders throughout the Department of Defense, it is clear the department still has much more work to do to fully address the problem of sexual assault in the ranks," Hagel said. "This crime is damaging this institution. There are thousands of victims in the department, male and female, whose lives and careers have been upended, and that is unacceptable."
About 19,000 men and women suffer sexual assault each year in the military, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said last year in announcing a Pentagon effort to stop the crime. Panetta noted that only about 3,200 of those assaults were reported. About 10,700 cases -- 56% -- involved male victims in 2010, based on anonymous reporting collected by the military.
