David Sanger of the New York Times is often rebuked for operating under the assumption that Iran is determined to developed nuclear weapons when the evidence suggests otherwise. But when he sticks to straight reporting, as with the excerpt from his new book in the Times on June 1 about the cyberattacks against Iran, we owe him a debt of thanks. He's opened our eyes to the extent to which the United States and President Obama were involved with Stuxnet. Stanger also brings to light a critical reason that the United States worked with Israel.
The unusually tight collaboration with Israel was driven by two imperatives. Israel's Unit 8200, a part of its military, had technical expertise that rivaled the N.S.A.'s, and the Israelis had deep intelligence about operations at Natanz that would be vital to making the cyberattack a success. But American officials had another interest…
Wait for it …
… to dissuade the Israelis from carrying out their own pre-emptive strike against the Iranian nuclear facilities. To do that, the Israelis would have to be convinced that the new line of attack was working. The only way to convince them, several officials said in interviews, was to have them deeply involved in every aspect of the program.
Inviting Israel to participate as a diversionary tactic to prevent it from attacking Iran may be clever. But one can't help suspect it's yet another attempt to placate Israel. Or — to turn the tables on those who accuse President Obama of this on various fronts — to appease them.
Meanwhile, at the New Yorker, Steve Coll strikes a precautionary note.
"Olympic Games" [Stuxnet] seems to be, so far as is known, the first formal offensive act of pure cyber sabotage by the United States against another country. … "Olympic Games" will invite imitation and retaliation in kind, and it has established new and disturbing norms for state aggression on the Internet and in its side-channels. American and Israeli official action now stands available as a justification for others. … [Richard] Clarke and Sanger both compare the chaotic, poorly considered state of cyber warfare today to the wild early days of nuclear arms. … During the nineteen-fifties, a shocking number of American generals believed that a nuclear war could be won. "Olympic Games" suggests a comparably self-aggrandizing strain among our new class of digital fighters.
In other words, like the subdivision of the arms race — proliferation — it's meant to help derail, cyberwarfare could start a new arms race.

Italian Ring Bread with Hatch Chiles and Roasted Garlic
I followed the recipe for the Italian ring bread, but instead of folding chopped marjoram into the dough, I used chopped, roasted hot and mild hatch chiles and whole cloves of roasted garlic. This dough made use of both sourdough starter and fresh yeast, so I hoped it would have enough strength to rise with the vegetables I added. The recipe is written as a two-day bread, but there is a 12 hour waiting time on the second day. I timed it out to make it a three-day bread instead. Day one only required making a sponge from starter, bread flour, and water. On day two, the dough was made from the sponge, fresh yeast, bread flour, salt, olive oil, chiles, and roasted garlic. It started as what I thought was a slightly too dry dough, but after adding the vegetables, it seemed slightly too wet and sticky. I kneaded in a little more flour and crossed my fingers.
It went through the usual rituals of resting, kneading, fermenting, being divided, resting again, and then being formed into boules which were refrigerated overnight. On day three, the dough was brought up to room temperature and then turned out onto a board. A peel was floured so a boule could be loaded on it, and then a hole was cut in the center of the boule with a biscuit cutter. The hole was to be stretched to three times its original size, and the piece of dough removed was baked as a roll. Luckily, I baked one loaf at a time because the first one suffered from the hole not being made large enough. It closed in on itself like a giant bialy, but I got it right the second time. Of course, the oven was spritzed a couple of times during the first five minutes of baking, and that produced a crispy, crackly outer crust.
The interior was chewy and similar in texture to ciabatta although less open in structure. With the chiles and garlic, each piece of bread was almost a meal in itself, and I liked that about it. I think this bread with some cheese on the side would be great for a picnic. One loaf was taken to the potluck, and the other will be re-warmed and served with salad for dinner tonight. I survived presenting my homemade bread to a group of food bloggers, and they were even kind enough to say they liked it.
I'm submitting this to Yeastspotting where you'll find some seriously well-made bread.

LeBron James: Game 7 is 'one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, of my life'
Because we relentlessly write and rewrite the story of LeBron James every single day, every single game seems like the most important one of his life, career and eventual legacy. Every win puts him one step closer to the firmament of basketball gods, while every loss acts as a referendum on his essential vulnerability, his insufficient ferocity, the continued stain he bears for the immorality of his departure from Cleveland, or whatever else the author's selling. It can be hard to keep all these Biggest Games Ever straight, to know what's at stake, to know what matters and precisely how much.
So LeBron, as he does so often for his Miami Heat teammates, made it easy on us Wednesday, calling Thursday's Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs — the final game of the 2012-13 NBA season, an affair that will result in either Miami's second straight title or the fifth championship in the 1 1/2-decade partnership between Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and legendary big man Tim Duncan — "one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, of my life."
Thanks, LeBron. Appreciate that.
James told reporters Wednesday that his pre-Game 7 prep would be pretty "light-hearted," chock full of time with old friends and family members whom he said would "make me watch 'SpongeBob' or something at 9 o'clock." The jovial off-night would offer the four-time MVP a bit of calm before what he expected to be perhaps the most tumultuous storm he'd ever experienced on a basketball court.
"That's what keeps me — it keeps me — you don't want to think about the game too much," James said during Miami's Wednesday practice. "I understand it's a huge game. It's probably going to be one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, of my life. But I'm going to just keep it the same way I've been doing, and tomorrow night I'll be able to focus in on the job at hand."
The job? Finishing Thursday with one more point than the dudes in black and grey, so that he can finish this remarkable two-year run by bracketing Olympic gold with back-to-back NBA titles, further burnishing his all-time résumé by joining the select group of consecutive champions that includes names like Mikan, Russell, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, Pippen, Hakeem, Kobe and Shaq. (And, lest I be accused of denigrating the game's red-white-and-blue-striped past, the Mel Daniels-Roger Brown-George McGinnis trifecta of Slick Leonard's early-'70s ABA Indiana Pacers.)
Sure, other players earned well-deserved jewelry on those back-to-back Lakers, Celtics, Bulls and Rockets, but those are the names that echo in eternity. By the sheer virtue of his play, James' name already appears in flashing lights alongside those other greats; topping the mountain in two straight years, though, would cement his championship credentials in the minds of those who'll never view regular-season dominance or transcendent individual play as enough in the absence of plural hardware.
"I thought about it, for sure," James said of reaching the rarefied air of back-to-back champions. "It's human nature. I want to go down as one of the greatest. I want our team to go down as one of the greatest teams. And we have an opportunity to do that. Hasn't been many peoples to win back‑to‑back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing.
"I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these Finals."
The Boston Celtics who pushed James to reach a whole new stratosphere in Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference finals might beg to differ, but James' claim rings true.
Yes, James' numbers are down a bit from last postseason, when he averaged 30.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game on 50 percent shooting, turning in what the admittedly imperfect but often instructive Player Efficiency Rating metric marks as one of the dozen most productive playoff performances in NBA history. But even a dip/shift in James' counting stats born of, among other things, a slight reduction in minutes and a slight shift in role — 25.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists on 48.9 percent shooting — marks him as one of only seven players in league history to put up at least 25-8-6.5 in a postseason. The other six: Bob Cousy (who only played three games in the '55-'56 playoffs), Tracy McGrady (only six for the '07-'08 Rockets), John Havlicek, Paul Pierce, Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson. (If you filter for guys who won at least one round and also averaged at least 1.5 steals per game, as James is this year with 1.8 per, you're left with just Bird, Pierce and 'Bron.)
Plus, James has managed the bulk of those less-than-but-still-historically-great numbers against this year's Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers and Spurs — three incredibly physical, defensively masterful teams led by brilliant coaches whose personnel posed specific matchup problems for the Heat's preferred pace-and-space system. These are teams with ascendant defensive stars in Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard who seem tailor-made to make James' life miserable, and who have done so, often. These are teams, especially the Pacers and Spurs, that are very, very hard to beat, and in critical moments, James has done so, with giant, stomping games.
Like the 30-10-10-plus-a-game-winner triple-double in Game 1 vs. Indy. Or 32-8-4 and 16 trips to the line in Game 7 against the Pacers. Or 33 and 11 on 60 percent shooting in Game 4 in San Antonio. Or 16 fourth-quarter points on Tuesday in a 32-10-11 performance that puts him alongside Bill Russell and James Worthy as just the third player in NBA history to post a triple-double in a game that staved off his team's elimination.
Getting past the Pacers and, if the Heat are successful on Thursday, vanquishing both Indy and San Antonio becomes all the more impressive considering how hobbled Dwyane Wade has been by a bone bruise in his right knee and, now, a stiff and swollen left knee following a Game 6 collision with Manu Ginobili.
The 2012-13 Wade's averaging five fewer points per 36 minutes in the playoffs than last year's model and getting to the free throw line about half as often as he did last postseason, and at times seems unable (or unwilling) to execute his defensive responsibilities. He's not right now the All-NBA wing partner James had in his first year in Miami and for most of his second and third years. There's an argument that, at this stage of the season, the Heat are playing their best ball with Wade off the floor; that argument becomes unthinkable without James to activate the likes of Mike Miller, Ray Allen, Mario Chalmers and Chris Andersen. (And, to be fair, their ability to provide James space to operate.)
James is shooting a bit less but doing so a bit more efficiently, with his True Shooting and Effective Field Goal percentages up a tick during this postseason. He's using fewer Heat possessions but assisting more often; he's guarding Tony Parker more and more and helping the French jitterbug do less and less. And he's doing it all at the tail end of what will wind up being a 99-game season following U.S. national team duty following an 85-game lockout-truncated sprint, coming off a game in which he played 49 minutes and 46 seconds and knows he may well have to go the full 48 (at least) to hold off a Spurs team that didn't come this far and get this close in what might be their last go-round to leave Florida empty-handed.
So, yeah — you can understand why this feels harder than last year. And why, as the discussion of legacies rattles and clanks on while the goalposts for James' greatness seem to keep moving backward, James grasps the enormity of both challenge and opportunity, and presses forward.
"I understand the moment for me," James said. "I've been pretty relaxed, though. I've been pretty relaxed throughout the playoffs. I'm going to be antsy, I'm going to be excited. I'm going to have some butterflies. I'll be nervous. Everything. That's how I should be.
"The moment is going to be grand," he added. "I'm happy to be a part of it."

Gomez helps spark aggresive Brewers' hot start
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Brewers' new leadoff hitter can aggravate pitchers by slugging homers or stealing bases. Carlos Gomez is flustering foes, and his energetic approach has helped Milwaukee jump out to the best record in baseball.
Kind of reminds Padres manager Bud Black of another lethal leadoff hitter.
"I think when you have that type of talent … it's reminiscent of one of the best leadoff hitters of all time. I'm not comparing him to Rickey Henderson because Rickey did it over a long period of time," Black said this week while San Diego visited Milwaukee for a three-game series.
"But the skill set of power, speed, average is deadly."
The Brewers had a surprising 4 1/2-game lead in the NL Central over St. Louis with a 16-6 record on their off day Thursday. Gomez has been a big reason behind the hot start, hitting .289 with five homers and 12 RBIs and three steals going into Friday's game against the Cubs.
Gomez, a Gold Glove-winner in center, goes all out every play. At times, he swings the bat so violently he can strike a cartoonish figure when he misses, as if corkscrewing himself into the ground.
While Gomez has been trying to extend counts more and draw walks, he hasn't changed his overall approach.
"Enthusiasm. Energy, no matter (where) I'm hitting. I always come strong, aggressive," Gomez said this month.
Entering Thursday, the Brewers had 104 at-bats with the ball in play on the first pitch, which led the majors by one over the Reds and Rockies. Milwaukee was hitting .375 and slugging .644 in those situations with five homers and 23 RBIs, according to STATS.
Gomez, along with teammates Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez were in the Top 25 among players with hits on first pitches.
All three players have been in Milwaukee a few years, so this is not a new development with the Brewers. What makes it stand out more — besides the victories — is that last year's leadoff hitter, Norichika Aoki, was more patient at the plate and extended counts.
Aoki was traded to Kansas City in the offseason, replaced by Gomez atop the order.
Swinging early isn't something the Brewers are trying to teach, manager Ron Roenicke has said. He's playing to the strength of his roster, and hoping players — especially younger ones still learning the game — will grow to understand what pitches they can handle.
One of those younger players is left fielder Khris Davis, who hit 11 homers in 56 games last year, his rookie season. He feeds off Gomez's first-pitch mentality, while also trying to learn the line of when to be aggressive.
"That's something I battle every time," Davis said. "If you're swinging at what (the pitcher) wants you to swing at, then that's crossing the line. If I'm swinging at what I want to swing at, then that's a plan."
Gomez has slowed a little over the three games since being ejected for his role in a bench-clearing fracas Sunday in Pittsburgh, going 2 for 13 with four strikeouts in the Padres series.
He's appealing his three-game suspension. Gomez had paused at the plate and flipped his bat to watch a two-out drive. Gomez said he thought would be caught; the ball hit the wall and Gomez hustled and slid headfirst into third for a triple.
Backing up the play, Pirates starter Gerrit Cole stormed toward Gomez. Cole said he told Gomez that "if you're going to hit just a fly ball to center field, then don't stand and look at it."
Cole was not disciplined. Gomez said this week he was appealing because he didn't think the suspension was fair, and that he didn't start the fight.
The fracas re-started a periodic discussion about the game's "unwritten rules" of sportsmanship.
"You hit a home run, you look at the pitcher, that's to show him up. But 99 percent of the time when I hit a home run, I don't know where the ball is at," Gomez said. "That means I'm not looking at the ball – I'm putting my head down and running the bases fast like anybody else."
Added Gomez: "I don't feel like it's disrespect."
Roenicke has said Gomez could be calmer in such situations, but otherwise the skipper didn't think the discipline was fair either. Like he has since spring training, Roenicke has encouraged Gomez to keep his same approach that has turned him into a star in Milwaukee, leadoff hitter or not.

Why Your Business Should Invest in Promotional Giveaways
High quality products or services and excellent customer service are the absolute most important key to business success. But even if you have the best product or service in the world, you won't be successful or profitable if people don't know you exist. Investing in promotional giveaways, such as customized calendars or imprinted caps, is the missing piece to the puzzle of business success, and though your investment will cost you up front, the payback comes later in the form of:
* Increased brand awareness. "Brand awareness" is best described as the likelihood that a consumer is going to remember a particular brand when searching for a given product or service. If someone asks you to think about a popular cola drink, chances are that there are one or two brands that jump instantly to your mind. This is because that particular soft drink manufacturer has done an effective job of creating consumer "brand awareness."
One of the most cost-effective and direct ways of generating brand awareness is through the use of promotional gifts. It puts your name directly into the hands of the people who are most likely to become your customers. With enough exposure to your name via your gifts, you'll have achieved brand awareness.
* A cost-effective method of advertising. Almost all small and many medium-sized businesses cannot afford to advertise using more traditional methods, like television and radio ads and billboards. Even newspaper advertising is out of reach for many small businesses. But even a small business can afford to invest in some type of promotional item. Things like customized pens and pencils and promotional keychains can be purchased very cheaply and come with the likelihood of being used by the recipient, thus working toward greater brand awareness. Even more expensive giveaways, like imprinted umbrellas or imprinted apparel are still a fraction of the cost of purchasing television or radio air time and thus much more feasible for a broader range of business owners.
* It puts your name directly in front of the people who are most likely to become customers. A television or radio ad may or may not reach the kind of audience you are hoping to target. Rather, they make a very broad impact which doesn't necessarily translate into increased business, particularly if your product or service is unique or specialized.
However, when you put a tactile, physical item, like a promotional tote bag or logo magnet, into someone's hand that has your name on it, it means you've already made personal contact with a person who has expressed interest in your product/service. This consumer was already intrigued enough in what you have to offer that they came into your store or checked out your trade show booth. Handing them that giveaway cements that encounter and gives him or her a tangible way to associate your name with your product or service.
* Encourages and builds customer loyalty. When someone receives a promotional mug or other item, whether for free or as a gift with purchase or a reward, it helps to validate their experience with you. People appreciate being recognized, even if it's for something as simple as being a repeat customer. By validating and rewarding them with a promotional item, you trigger feelings of loyalty that the consumer comes to associate with patronizing your business. This makes them much more likely to return.

WASHINGTON — The Senate gun control debate on the near horizon, a National Rifle Association-sponsored report on Tuesday proposed a program for schools to train selected staffers as armed security officers. The former Republican congressman who headed the study suggested at least one protector with firearms for every school, saying it would speed responses to attacks.
The report's release served as the gun-rights group's answer to improving school safety after the gruesome December slayings of 20 first-graders and six adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. And it showed the organization giving little ground in its fight with President Barack Obama over curbing firearms.
Obama's chief proposals include broader background checks for gun buyers and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — both of which the NRA opposes.
The study made eight recommendations, including easing state laws that might bar a trained school staff member from carrying firearms and improving school coordination with law enforcement agencies. But drawing the most attention was its suggested 40- to 60-hour training for school employees who pass background checks to also provide armed protection while at work.
"The presence of an armed security personnel in a school adds a layer of security and diminishes the response time that is beneficial to the overall security," Asa Hutchinson, a GOP former congressman from Arkansas who directed the study, told a news conference.
Asked whether every school would be better off with an armed security officer, Hutchinson replied, "Yes," but acknowledged the decision would be made locally.
"Obviously, we believe that they make a difference," he said.
Several NRA-supplied security guards were at Tuesday's event — unusual for an announcement at the National Press Club, a building that houses offices for many news organizations.
Hutchinson said school security could be provided by trained staff members or by school resource officers — police officers assigned to schools that some districts already have.
The Brady Campaign, a leading gun-control group, accused the NRA of "missing the point" by ignoring the need for expanded background checks and other measures the Senate is considering.
"The American public is calling for a comprehensive solution that not only addresses tragic school shootings, but also helps prevent the thousands of senseless gun deaths each year," it said in a statement.
Dan Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators, said while a trained law enforcement officer with a gun would be valuable, his group opposes arming "a teacher or an employee who simply has taken a course and now has the ability to carry a weapon."
Also denouncing the recommendations was Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents 1.5 million teachers and other workers. She called it a "cruel hoax that will fail to keep our children and schools safe" while helping only gun manufacturers.
The NRA released its report as congressional momentum seems to have stalled for any sweeping steps to curb firearms violence.
Top Senate Democrats have little hope for a proposed ban on assault weapons, and the prospects for barring large-capacity magazines also seem difficult. Key senators remain short of a bipartisan compromise on requiring gun transactions between private individuals to undergo federal background checks, which currently apply only to sales handled by licensed gun dealers. The Senate plans to begin debating gun legislation next week.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said administration officials were looking for middle ground, and he emphasized background checks, widely seen by gun control advocates as the most effective step available.
"We are working with lawmakers of both parties, and trying to achieve a compromise that can make this happen. Especially when it comes to the background checks," Carney told reporters.
The spokesman commented as a White House official revealed that the president plans a trip next week to Connecticut, scene of the horrific elementary school shootings that spurred the new push for gun control legislation. Obama wants to use the trip to build pressure on Congress to pass legislation.
Obama also plans to focus on firearms curbs in a trip Wednesday to Denver, not far from last summer's mass shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
The 225-page study cost the NRA more than $1 million, Hutchinson said. The task force included several former top officials of federal law enforcement and security agencies, including the Secret Service and Homeland Security Department.
Hutchinson acknowledged that the study omitted an earlier NRA recommendation that retired police officers and other volunteers be armed to provide school safety. He said the idea encountered "great reluctance" from school superintendents.
Hutchinson said the NRA did not interfere with his task force's work. In a written statement, the NRA said the report "will go a long way to making America's schools safer."
Hutchinson also called "totally inadequate" a gun control measure making its way through the Connecticut legislature that includes a tightening of the state's assault weapons ban. The measure wouldn't prevent an attacker with a handgun or other firearms from attacking a school, he said.
Debbie Leidlein, chairwoman of the Newtown Board of Education, said she opposed having trained staff members carry weapons in schools.
"It can become a dangerous situation to have any individuals outside of those who have police training to be carrying weapons around children," Leidlein said.
But the proposal won support from Mark Mattioli, whose 6-year-old son James was killed at Newtown and who attended the NRA news conference.
"These are recommendations for solutions, real solutions that will make our kids safer," Mattioli said.

In some cases, bleeding may be so severe and relentless that daily activities become interrupted. Other types of abnormal uterine bleeding (also called dysfunctional uterine bleeding) include: Polymenorrhea Too frequent menstruation Oligomenorrhea Infrequent or light menstrual cycles Metrorrhagia Any irregular, acyclic nonmenstrual bleeding from the uterus; bleeding between menstrual periods Postmenopausal bleeding Any bleeding that occurs more than one year after the last normal menstrual period at menopause What causes menorrhagia? There are several possible causes of menorrhagia, including the following: Hormonal (particularly estrogen and progesterone) imbalance (especially seen in adolescents who are experiencing their first menstrual period and in women approaching menopause) Pelvic inflammatory disease Uterine fibroids Abnormal pregnancy (i.e., miscarriage, ectopic) Infection, tumors, or polyps in the pelvic cavity Certain birth control devices (i.e., intrauterine devices, or IUDs) Bleeding or platelet disorders High levels of prostaglandins (chemical substances which help to control the muscle contractions of the uterus) High levels of endothelins (chemical substances which help the blood vessels in the body dilate) Liver, kidney, or thyroid disease What are the symptoms of menorrhagia? In general, bleeding is considered excessive when a woman soaks through enough sanitary products (sanitary napkins or tampons) to require changing every hour. In addition, bleeding is considered prolonged when a woman experiences a menstrual period that lasts longer than seven days in duration. The following are the most common (other) symptoms of menorrhagia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: Spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods Spotting or bleeding during pregnancy The symptoms of menorrhagia may resemble other menstrual conditions or medical problems. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis. How is menorrhagia diagnosed? Diagnosis begins with a health care provider evaluating a woman's medical history and a complete physical examination including a pelvic examination. A diagnosis of menorrhagia can only be certain when the health care provider rules out other menstrual disorders, medical conditions, or medications that may be causing or aggravating the condition. Other diagnostic procedures for menorrhagia may include the following: Blood tests Pap test. A test that involves microscopic examination of cells collected from the cervix; used to detect changes that may be cancerous or may lead to cancer, and to show noncancerous conditions, such as an infection or inflammation. Ultrasound (also called sonography) Biopsy (endometrial). A procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope; to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present. An endometrial biopsy removes tissue from the lining of the uterus. Hysteroscopy.

A common gynecological surgery which consists of widening the cervical canal with a dilator and scraping the uterine cavity with a curette. Treatment for menorrhagia Specific treatment for menorrhagia will be determined by your health care provider based on: Your age, overall health, and medical history Extent of the condition Cause of the condition Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies Expectations for the course of the condition Your opinion or preference Treatment for menorrhagia may include: Iron supplementation. This treatment is used if the condition is coupled with anemia, a blood disorder caused by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin. Prostaglandin inhibitors. These are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, including aspirin or ibuprofen, which help reduce cramping and the amount of blood expelled. Oral contraceptives. These inhibit ovulation.

Pull out your business card right now. Compare that to the last direct mail piece you sent. Now take a look at your signage. Are they all sending a consistent message? Would your customers understand what your company does in 3 seconds if they encountered your marketing? If the answer is "no" to these questions, it's probably time to rebrand for your business.
When it is time to rebrand it can be a scary process. It could take a lot of time, cause confusion with your customers and cost you some money to make the transition. But it may be worth it if you're not delivering the right message to the right audience. Before you take the leap, consider these rebranding tips.
It's not me. Or is it?
Many people think that their brand consists of a logo, some signage and a business card. While these elements are key to identifying who you are, the brand goes well beyond a look. Your brand is your customers' perception of your company, what their expectations and experiences have been in their interactions with you. Your brand is also the promises you make and deliver on everyday. Before you start making cosmetic changes, make sure you take a holistic approach to how you do business.
Get over yourself. Its time to rebrand.
While it's your brand, it's not about you. It's about your customers. Take a top-down approach and analyze your entire business, and who you want to be. Talk with the type of customers you want to attract and find out what they know about you and what they need from you. Look at what your competition is doing and differentiate, don't copy.
Plan. Plan. Plan.
The rebrand process takes time and "flipping the switch" on a new brand could cause some issues. Make a transition plan and get key stakeholders involved such as customers and prospects. You have to get your employees behind the process and get them excited about their new image and, possibly, new attitude.
Finally, don't cling onto your history, but make sure you take the good things you're doing and keep them so your customers can still get a sense of familiarity. This will keep the customers you want coming back to do business with you.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge approved a request from California and federal officials on Monday to force-feed inmates if necessary as a statewide prison hunger strike entered its seventh week.
RELATED: Yasiin Bey (AKA Mos Def) Reenacts Guantánamo Bay Force-Feeding Procedure
Officials say they fear for the welfare of nearly 70 inmates who have refused all prison-issued meals since the strike began July 8 over the holding of gang leaders and other violent inmates in solitary confinement that can last for decades.
They are among nearly 130 inmates in six prisons who were refusing meals. When the strike began it included nearly 30,000 of the 133,000 inmates in California prisons.
Prison policy is to let inmates starve to death if they have signed legally binding do-not-resuscitate (DNR) requests. But state corrections officials and a federal receiver who controls inmate medical care received blanket authority from U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson of San Francisco to feed inmates who may be in failing health. The order includes those who recently signed requests that they not be revived.
Henderson oversees the ongoing lawsuit over inmates' medical care. The filing Monday came as prison officials and inmates' attorneys argued over whether strikers should be allowed to voluntarily begin a liquid diet.
"Patients have a right to refuse medical treatment. They also have a right to refuse food," said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the receiver's office.
However, "If an inmate gets to the point where he can't tell us what his wishes are, for instance if he's found unresponsive in his cell, and we don't have a DNR, we're going to get nourishment into him. That's what doctors do. They're going to follow their medical ethics," Hayhoe said. "We'd take any and all measures to sustain their life."
The process, which prison officials call "refeeding," could include starting intravenous fluids or snaking feeding tubes through inmates' noses and into their stomachs.
Prison officials already can seek a court order forcing an individual inmate to take food, though they have not done so. Now they and the receiver's office are jointly asking for blanket permission to take that step without seeking orders on a case-by-case basis.
The federal and state officials were joined in the request by the Prison Law Office, a Berkeley-based nonprofit that represents inmates' welfare in ongoing lawsuits that led to a federal takeover of the prison health care system and a requirement that the state sharply reduce its inmate population to improve conditions.
They want Henderson to let the chief medical executive at each prison act if a hunger striker is at risk of "near-term death or great bodily injury" or is no longer deemed competent to give consent or make medical decisions.
Moreover, do-not-resuscitate directives would not be honored if the medical executive reasonably believes the inmate was coerced into signing the request or if an attorney representing the inmate revokes the request.
Do-not-resuscitate orders signed by a hunger striker at or near the beginning of the strike or during the hunger strike would automatically be deemed invalid.
"Force-feeding violates international law to the extent that it involves somebody who doesn't give their consent," said Jules Lobel, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. He said prison officials should look for alternatives, including providing the inmates with a liquid diet of fruit and vegetable drinks as they have requested, or negotiating with inmates over their demands.
However, Lobel said he will not seek to overturn Henderson's order.
Prison officials said Monday that inmates are free to consume a liquid diet, but will be counted as having ended their hunger strike if they consume anything more than water, vitamins and electrolytes.
California incarcerates about 3,600 inmates in what are known as Security Housing Units, some because of crimes they committed in prison and others for indefinite terms if they are validated as leaders of prison gangs.
Four prisons have the units: Pelican Bay in Crescent City, Corcoran, California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi and California State Prison-Sacramento.
The highest-ranking gang leaders are held in what is known as the "short corridor" at Pelican Bay. Four leaders of rival white supremacist, black and enemy Latino gangs have formed an alliance to promote the hunger strike in a bid to force an end to the isolation units.

What began as a hobby evolved into America's leading and oldest manufacturer of Tiffany lamps and decorative lighting. More than a decade ago, Meyda acquired Quality Bent Glass Company which created original lighting fixtures, including the famous Coca-Cola chandeliers, and supplied them to Tiffany Studios in New York City, during the turn-of-the-century. Meyda utilizes QBG's original tools, molds and techniques to create lighting products today. In the mid-1990s, Meyda purchased Mecco Art, a metal art studio, and utilizes its equipment and manufacturing techniques to produce the Old Forge line of custom crafted steel sculptured lighting and decor. The line, which features original, natural and wildlife themes, includes lamps, chandeliers, figurines, candleholders, towel racks, bookends, switch plates, coat racks, napkin holders, log holders, fireplace screens, and other home accents. Today Meyda is still a family-run business, with Meyer and Ida's son, Robert, at the helm. With dealers across the U.S. and Canada, Meyda offers an extensive line featuring thousands of styles-- from accent pieces to masterpieces. Many of Meyda's lighting designs were inspired by the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Dirk Van Erp, Gustav Stickley, Philip Julius Handel, Pairpoint and Duffner & Kimberly Studios, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Some have been handcrafted of copperfoil and reverse-painted art glass, porcelain, jadestone, mica and other fine mediums. Others were influenced by popular art movements: Arts and Crafts, Prairie, Lodge, Mission, Bungalow, Victorian, Nouveau, Gothic, Southwest and Deco. The firm's extensive line includes table and floor lamps, ceiling pendants, flush and semi-flush mounted ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, wall sconces, windows, fireplace screens, furniture, and more. With one of the industry's most extensive new product development programs, Meyda creates scores of new designs weekly. Item Weight 70 lbs

{Don't answer that.}
To make the cookies, you'll need:
- square and small heart cookies
- royal icing, tinted with AmeriColor Super Red, Bright White and your choice of stripe color (I used turquoise, egg yellow, regal purple, and super black.)
- disposable icing bags
- coupler and icing tips (#3 & #2)
- squeeze bottles
- toothpicks
Go ahead and save some of this piping consistency red icing. You won't need it until the next day. You can just plop the icing bag right in your fridge.
Thin the red icing with water, a little at a time, stirring gently with a rubber spatula, until it is the consistency of a thick syrup. (Here is a video I made a few years ago showing how I do it.) Cover with a damp dish towel and let sit for several minutes.
Stir gently with a rubber spatula to pop any air bubbles that might have formed. Pour into a squeeze bottle.
Thin the white icing and the colors for the stripes, using the method described above. Transfer to squeeze bottles.
Working 6 cookies at a time, flood the square cookies with the white icing. Guide to the edges and spread with a toothpick; pop large air bubbles.
{We're working 6 cookies at a time here to give the white a few minutes to set. It helps prevent bleeding. If you wait too long, though, the icing won't lie flat on the base color and will be raised up.}
Let the cookies dry overnight.
The next day, remove the reserved piping icing from the fridge. I like to let it come to room temperature, but you don't have to. You may need to remove the tip and push a toothpick through if the tip is clogged.
So simple. And perfect for sharing with your valentine.

Brian Olive
Two of Everything
Alive Natural Sound Records
Much of Brian Olive's album sounds like music from earlier decades; with influences from the Beatles and the Kinks, Two of Everything is an upbeat blend of funk, jazz, soul and psych, layered with rasping brass and syncopated drums. Produced by Olive and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the album moves through buoyant tracks to the slower, more gentle rhythms of Lost in Dreams.
The album commences with the heavily-funked Left Side Rock before heading in a more laid back direction with Go On Easy. Two of Everything features an impressive mix of instruments, including an unusual bagpipe-type instrument that brings an element of rock to Stranger Attractor. Backing vocals also have a strong presence and are provided by a host of varied vocalists.
Olive's voice is nostalgic, with a smoky edge and the album rings with groove and swagger. A consummate collection of tracks ranging from the highly danceable early tracks to the increasing psychedelia of Two of Everything (reprise), this album is a joy. www.brianolive.net.

Free cancellation on most hotels when you book with ebookers!*
When it comes to going on a break to Abeokuta, you can go the traditional route with a hotel, or see things from a new, exciting perspective with your very own Abeokuta holiday rental. The price difference alone makes it a tantalising prospect, as you'll enjoy huge savings on nightly rates when you go for your own apartment, villa or cottage rather than a hotel stay.

Obama in second inaugural speaks of a united America, U.S. involvement abroad
Published January 21, 2013
(JTA) — President Obama in his second inaugural address spoke of U.S. involvement throughout the world and Americans working together at home.
Obama was sworn in publicly for his second term at 11:50 a.m. Monday by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. Some 800,000 people reportedly thronged the area to witness the inauguration.
"America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation," he said. "We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom."
In his address, Obama focused on the promise of American democracy and all Americans working for the common good. He spoke of the allegiance to the Constitution and its promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
"Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time," he said. "For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth."
The president alluded to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the day set aside in the United States to commemorate the slain human rights activist.
Obama said the U.S. "must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher."
He called for a response to the threat of climate change, and praised the men and women who serve in the U.S. armed services. Obama also spoke of equality for women in the workplace and for gays.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the inaugural ceremonies chairman, opened the ceremony and introduced the participants.
Obama was sworn in officially on Sunday, the inauguration day mandated by the Constitution, in a private ceremony.

By Mark Scolforo
Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — In what sounded at times like a locker room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie "Seabiscuit."
With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing "disgusting acts" against children and instead painted himself as the victim.
And then, after he had said his piece, a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, all but ensuring the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the child sexual abuse scandal that brought disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno.
He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage that could take years for the university to clear away.
"The tragedy of this crime is that it's a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of ten children," Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted.
The judge said he expects Sandusky to die in prison.
In a disjointed, 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: "In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts."
Sprinkling his remarks with sports references, the former assistant coach spoke of being locked up in a jail cell, subjected to outbursts from fellow inmates, reading inspirational books and trying to find a purpose in his fate. His voice cracked as he talked about missing his loved ones, including his wife, Dottie, who was in the gallery.
"Hopefully we can get better as a result of our hardship and suffering, that somehow, some way, something good will come out of this," Sandusky said.
He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding: "I've forgiven, I've been forgiven. I've comforted others, I've been comforted. I've been kissed by dogs, I've been bit by dogs. I've conformed, I've also been different. I've been me. I've been loved, I've been hated."
Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts, found guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile. He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defense was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November.
Among the victims who spoke in court Tuesday was a young man who said he was 11 when Sandusky groped him in a shower in 1998.
He said Sandusky is in denial and should "stop coming up with excuses."
"I've been left with deep painful wounds that you caused and had been buried in the garden of my heart for many years," he said.
Another man said he was 13 in 2001 when Sandusky lured him into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and forced him to touch the ex-coach. "I am troubled with flashbacks of his naked body, something that will never be erased from my memory," he said.
After the sentencing, prosecutor Joe McGettigan praised the victims' courage and dismissed Sandusky's comments as "a masterpiece of banal self-delusion, completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility."
"It was entirely self-focused as if he, again, were the victim," McGettigan said.
Lawyers for the victims said they were satisfied with the sentence, but with four lawsuits brought against Penn State and several more expected, and Penn State laboring under severe NCAA penalties, cleaning up in the wake of what may be the biggest scandal in college sports history may take years.
Ben Andreozzi, an attorney for one the victims, said the university needs to do more: "It's important they understand before we get into serious discussions about money, that there are other, noneconomic issues. We need apologies. We need changes in policy. This isn't just about money."
Penn State fired Paterno after Sandusky's arrest, and the coach died of lung cancer three months later.
The scandal also brought down university President Graham Spanier.
Two university administrators, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, are awaiting trial in January on charges they failed to properly report suspicions about Sandusky and lied to the grand jury that investigated him.
Over the summer, an investigation commissioned by Penn State and led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh concluded that Paterno and other top officials covered up allegations against Sandusky for more than a decade to avoid bad publicity.
After the report came out, the NCAA fined Penn State a record $60 million, barred the football team from postseason play for four years, cut the number of scholarships it can award, and erased 14 years of victories for Paterno, stripping him of his standing as the winningest coach in the history of big-time college football.
In a three-minute recorded statement aired Monday night by Penn State radio, Sandusky described himself as the victim of a "well-orchestrated effort" by his accusers, the media, Penn State, plaintiffs' attorneys and others — a claim the judge dismissed on Tuesday as an unbelievable conspiracy theory.
"I speak today with hope in my heart for a brighter day, not knowing if that day will come," Sandusky said. "Many moments have been spent looking for a purpose. Maybe it will help others, some vulnerable children who might have been abused, might not be, as a result of the publicity."
After the sentencing, Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement: "While today's sentence cannot erase what has happened, hopefully it will provide comfort to those affected by these horrible events."

By toppling Michigan State, North Carolina cements itself as the nation's most baffling team
Only one rule seems applicable when trying to project how the nation's most perplexing college basketball team will fare this season.
No opponent is too formidable for North Carolina to beat or too inferior to beat the Tar Heels.
North Carolina cemented its reputation for the bizarre and unpredictable on Wednesday night in East Lansing, toppling No. 1 Michigan State 79-65 in one of the marquee games of the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. The outcome secured a 6-6 tie for the ACC in the challenge and ensured the Tar Heels would end the night with an unrivaled collection of quality wins and surprising losses.
The roller coaster ride started when North Carolina lost at home to Belmont on Nov. 17. It continued when the Tar Heels bounced back by upsetting defending national champion Louisville a week later in the title game of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off. Next came a road loss to unheralded UAB on Sunday night. And finally Wednesday's road win at Michigan State, which made North Carolina the first team in five seasons to defeat the No. 1 team and the defending national champion in non-league play.
It's difficult to make sweeping judgments about a team as schizophrenic as North Carolina, but this much is clear after watching the Tar Heels pull away from Michigan State in the second half just like they did against Louisville two weeks earlier. North Carolina would be a better team were wings P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald available to play, but it's still capable of playing with anyone as long as its young big men score enough to help make up for the loss of perimeter production.
Sophomore forward Brice Johnson continued his strong start to the season, protecting the rim on defense and scoring 14 points by attacking the offensive glass and finishing in transition. Freshman Kennedy Meeks provided a perfect complement to Johnson by playing his best game since delivering a double-double against Louisville, using his girth and soft touch around the rim to score 15 points, grab seven rebounds.
Surprisingly enough, North Carolina also got some production from its wing position, a rarity with Hairston still unable to play. J.P. Tokoto and Nate Britt combined for 25 points, helping to make up for off shooting nights from standout point guard Marcus Paige and struggling forward James Michael McAdoo.
What had to be most troubling for previously unbeaten Michigan State was the way the Tar Heels outclassed the Spartans in areas previously considered strengths.
Effort plays? North Carolina beat the Spartans to loose balls all night. Rebounding? The Tar Heels produced numerous second-chance opportunities and emerged with a 49-38 edge on the glass. Fast break chances? North Carolina repeatedly turned errant Michigan State jump shots into transition buckets on the other end.
Michigan State deserves some slack considering Gary Harris was hobbled by an ankle injury, Adreian Payne was slowed by cramps and Keith Appling missed time late in the first half with a hip pointer caused by a scary fall that sent him tumbling to the ground. Still, this was not a performance on either end of the floor befitting a team expected to contend for the national championship this season.
As for North Carolina, this win will leave everyone from fans, to analysts, to even its own coaching staff puzzled.
At its worst, North Carolina has shown it is susceptible to upsets by opponents who can't match its talent or pedigree. But at their best, the Tar Heels have also now proven they can't be overlooked by anyone.
