Dannatt: UK needs to retain 3,000 troops in Germany
The UK should recruit more soldiers in light of the Ukraine and Syria crises and retain 3,000 troops in Germany, the former head of the Army has said.
Lord Dannatt said that amid Nato concerns over Russian forces in Crimea, the West must have "muscle behind our message".
But the Ministry of Defence currently plans to reduce the size of the Army.
And Prime Minister David Cameron said he didn't think it was "necessary" to change those restructuring plans.
Lord Dannatt, who was chief of the general staff between 2006 and 2008, warned that despite the "war-weariness and war-wariness" felt by the UK, if the country was going to send "diplomatic messages" it was "better to do it from a position of some strength rather than a position of weakness".
He said that extra troops would signify that the UK took "defence and security seriously".
"What I'm saying is the strategic circumstances in the world have changed. And perhaps we should consider a pause in reducing our armed services and our capability, and make a small increase," he told the BBC's Today programme.
"It sends a message that actually we take our defence and security seriously and that he [Russian President Vladimir Putin] should think twice before he considers any further expeditions and expansion."
'Wrong-footed ourselves'
There has been a British army presence in Germany for nearly 70 years, and Lord Dannatt called upon the government to "rethink" its plans to end it.
Under the 2010 strategic defence review, the government announced it wanted to withdraw all 20,000 troops in Germany, plus their families, by 2020.
And current plans for cuts to the Army will see personnel numbers reduced from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2018. The number of part-time soldiers will double, from 15,000 to 30,000.
Lord Dannatt told the BBC: "It's very hard to predict the future; if our defence capability is weak then at some point in the future, we may find that we have wrong-footed ourselves.
"Many people think that 82,000 is too small a regular army for the UK to have, I am certainly one of those."
He said that recruiting troops "would send a message to Mr Putin and others that diplomacy and economic sanctions are one thing, but there is muscle behind our message".
Nato's military commander in Europe said Russian forces at the Ukrainian border were "very, very sizeable and very, very ready".
Supreme Allied Commander in Europe Gen Philip Breedlove expressed specific concerns about the threat to Moldova's Trans-Dniester region.
The build-up has been linked to Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, following the removal of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president. Russia said its forces east of Ukraine complied with international agreements.
Lord Dannatt made his comments ahead of a meeting between President Barack Obama and other world leaders in the Netherlands later, where the crisis in Crimea and Ukraine will be discussed.
'Properly equipped'
Lord Dannatt suggested the Defence Reform Bill, which is going through the House of Lords, could be the opportunity to alter the balance between regular and reserve soldiers in the Army.
Responding to the comments, Mr Cameron said: "I don't think its necessary to change our plans to base British soldiers in Britain.
"But what I think is important that we send a very clear message to our Nato partners and allies that we believe in Nato and we believe in their security."
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "The 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review set out how the armed forces would be restructured to meet future threats, including managing risks before they materialise in the UK, and maintaining a broad spectrum of defence capabilities.
"With the fourth largest defence budget in the world we are reshaping our armed forces to ensure that they are properly equipped and more adaptable to future challenges and to bring the UK into line with our closest allies, who make much more use of reserve forces."
Peter Quentin, from military think tank the Royal United Services Institute, said it was an "awkward" moment to be "seen to be reducing defence capabilities".
'Salami slicing'
He said: "These comments are not about what is happening in Crimea but in Whitehall - Lord Dannatt is using the crisis to illustrate the levels of threat and uncertainty in the international landscape and, therefore, the risks of current defence cuts.
"The Army remains particularly vulnerable to further reductions in its manpower, as the most scalable of the three services and without a clearly articulated case for why 82,000 regular troops constitutes its 'critical mass'.
"Calling for 3,000 more troops only reinforces this notion - salami slicing cuts both ways - but regardless of their numbers or capabilities it is unclear how a brigade's worth of additional troops would have a deterrent effect without the political will to deploy them.
"The public's 'war-weariness and war-wariness' has led to the disarmament of both moral and physical fighting power - there are no popular protests marching on Whitehall demanding increased defence expenditure."

Requirements for Crib Safety
New Requirements for Crib Safety
Beginning Dec. 28, 2012, any crib used at child care facilities and family child care homes must meet new and improved federal safety standards. The Section for Child Care Regulation will need to see the following information during inspections, to assure that cribs in child care facilities comply with 16 C.F.R. part 1219 or 16 C.F.R. part 1220.
- A tracking label or registration form for each crib indicating that the crib was manufactured after June 28, 2011.
- If a crib was manufactured prior to June 28, 2011, a Children's Product Certificate (CPC) or test report from a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)-accepted third party lab is the preferred way to demonstrate compliance with 16 C.F.R. part 1219 or 16 C.F.R. part 1220.
For more information on federal crib safety standards, go to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website.

Decatur man arrested for attempting to bomb Springfield federal building
SPRINGFIELD – A Decatur man was arrested Wednesday on charges he tried to use a vehicle bomb to blow up the federal courthouse in downtown Springfield.

Promotional trinkets business goes from basement to boomtown
MACHESNEY PARK – When Norma Polcek finds something that isn't quite up to par, she doesn't complain about it — she just takes it on and does it better. There's one business, however, that has dominated Polcek's attention for the past 25 years: SAMCO, her Machesney Park company that was honored this year by the U.S. Commerce Association's Best in Local Business program. SAMCO is the company you go to when you want corporate pens, hats or polo shirts. It's where businesses can order giveaway snow globes, travel mugs or puzzles. Of course, SAMCO doesn't actually make those products — they just have the brainpower to track them down. By Elizabeth Davies of the Rockford Register Star.

Illinois Symphony Orchestra to open season with Shostakovich 10
Dmitri Shostakovich began work on his Symphony No. 10 just a few weeks after the death of Joseph Stalin. The dictator had at various times denounced and banned Shostakovich's music, but the composer was able to adapt his style enough to keep working. After more than three decades of Stalin's iron-fisted, totalitarian rule, it would be only natural for the composer to take a swipe at the dictator. By Brian Mackey of the State Journal-Register.
Phil Luciano: Freshman kick-starts his college education
Peter Miller spent years kicking soccer balls for Peoria Christian School, but never so much as set his foot against a football. That changed Saturday, when the freshman at Northwestern College got the chance to partake in a pass, punt and kick promotion before the first football game at the private Minnesota school. The first place kick of his life netted him a year's free tuition, valued at a whopping $22,250.
Students learn and grow in gardens
PEKIN – The children of C.B. Smith Primary School know from experience that seeds are nature's treasure trove — they planted those seeds, tended a garden, brought in the harvest and have eaten the fruits of their labor. Teachers have found the gardens to be an educational horn of plenty, incorporating them into science, math, health and English lessons. By Sharon Woods Harris of the Pekin Times.

Editorial: Agency turf battles threaten national security
When it comes to turf wars there's one area that ought to be off limits, and that's public safety. Sadly that lesson appears not to have set in with two federal agencies, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

See what questions
a doctor would ask.
Undiagnosed stroke leads to misdiagnosed aphasia: BBC News UK reported on a man who had been institutionalized and treated for mental illness because he suffered from sudden inability to speak. This was initially misdiagnosed as a "nervous breakdown" and other mental conditions. He was later diagnosed as having had a stroke, and suffering from aphasia (inability to speak), a well-known complication of stroke (or other brain conditions).
Alzheimer's disease over-diagnosed: The well-known disease of Alzheimer's disease is often over-diagnosed. Patients tend to assume that any memory loss or forgetulness symptom might be Alzheimer's, whereas there are many other less severe possibilities. Some level of memory decline is normal with aging, and even a slight loss of acuity may be noticed in the 30's and 40's. Other conditions can also lead a person to show greater forgetfulness. For example, depression and depressive disorders can cause a person to have reduced concentration and thereby poorer memory retention.
Dementia may be a drug interaction: A common scenario in aged care is for a patient to show mental decline to dementia. Whereas this can, of course, occur due to various medical conditions, such as a stroke or Alzheimer's disease, it can also occur from a side effect or interaction between multiple drugs that the elderly patient may be taking. There are also various other possible causes of dementia.
Tremor need not be Parkinson's disease: There is the tendency to believe that any tremor symptom, or shakiness, means Parkinson's disease. The reality is that there are various possibilities, such as benign essential tremor, which is mostly harmless. see the various causes of tremor and misdiagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
ADHD under-diagnosed in adults: Although the over-diagnoses of ADHD in children is a well-known controversy, the reverse side related to adults. Some adults can remain undiagnosed, and indeed the condition has usually been overlooked throughout childhood. There are as many as 8 million adults with ADHD in the USA (about 1 in 25 adults in the USA). See misdiagnosis of ADHD or symptoms of ADHD.
Rare diseases misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease: A rare genetic disorder is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease for men in their 50's. The disease Fragile X disorder can show only mild symptoms in the early years, and Parkinsons-like symptoms around age 50. See misdiagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
Bipolar disorder misdiagosed as various conditions by primary physicians: Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder) often fails to be diagnosed correctly by primary care physicians. Many patients with bipolar seek help from their physician, rather than a psychiatrist or psychologist. See misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Eating disorders under-diagnosed in men: The typical patient with an eating disorder is female. The result is that men with eating disorders often fail to be diagnosed or have a delayed diagnosis. See misdiagnosis of eating disorders or symptoms of eating disorders.
Depression undiagnosed in teenagers: Serious bouts of depression can be undiagnosed in teenagers. The "normal" moodiness of teenagers can cause severe medical depression to be overlooked. See misdiagnosis of depression or symptoms of depression.
Undiagnosed anxiety disorders related to depression: Patients with depression (see symptoms of depression) may also have undiagnosed anxiety disorders (see symptoms of anxiety disorders). Failure to diagnose these anxiety disorders may worsen the depression. See misdiagnosis of depression or misdiagnosis of anxiety disorders.

Health Care Rationing in a Just Society: The Clinical Effectiveness Model
Representing 18% of gross domestic product, and projected to increase to 20% by 2022, health care costs in the United States are an unsustainable expense. The clinical effectiveness model of cost containment is an ethical and self-sustaining paradigm that can assist bending the health care-cost curve. As envisioned by Buyx et al, clinically effective care is aimed at making the practice of medicine more explicitly evidence based with the goals of improving clinical success, efficiency, and value.

IgG4-Related Orbitopathy as an Important Differential Diagnosis of Advanced Silent Sinus Syndrome. German version.
We report the case of a patient referred to us after multiple unsuccessful paranasal sinus operations who presented with enophthalmos and a resultant migratory keratitis with a suspected diagnosis of silent sinus syndrome. Preservation of the orbit was no longer feasible. After five years without a definitive diagnosis, we ascertained that this was a case of IgG4-related disease. DISCUSSION: IgG4-related disease represents an important element in the differential diagnosis of chronic advanced diseases of the orbit and paranasal sinuses. The diagnosis should be considered in the case of unclear ...

Problem Gambling Risk Among Older Francophones in Ontario Canada: Surprising Results that Contradict Previous Findings of Gambling in Minority Groups
AbstractGambling is a popular activity among older adults. Despite this increase in popularity little research has examined gambling among this group. This is especially true for minority older adults, like Francophones in Ontario. The purpose of this study was to better understand gambling in a sample of older Francophones from North-Eastern Ontario, the first study to do so. A sample of 181 older (over 55 years) Francophones from Northeastern Ontario (M age = 68.7, SD 7.6) was recruited. This sample was compared to a sample of older adults with English as their native language that had been previously...

This study, therefore, examined the influence of gender, age, sports betting knowledge and peer-based gambling on attitudes toward sports betting among young adults in Nigeria. The ex-post facto design was adopted in this cross-sectional survey. The participants were 749 students (42.9% females) of a large tertiary institution in southwest Nigeria. A standardized questionnaire comprising demographics and measures of attitudes toward sports betting, sports betting knowledge and perception of peer gambling behavior was utilized in the study. Results revealed that attitudes toward sports betting are positive for older males w...
Use of Consumer Protection Tools on Internet Gambling Sites: Customer Perceptions, Motivators, and Barriers to Use
AbstractInternet gambling has been widely legalised in recognition of its capacity to, and the importance of, providing consumer protection tools to prevent and minimise gambling-related harms. Most licensed Internet gambling sites are required to provide consumer protection tools, including activity statements, deposit limits, and time-outs (temporary self-exclusion). However, few Internet gambling customers engage with the tools. An online survey of 564 customers of Australian Internet gambling sites aimed to understand the extent to which consumer protection tools are used, characteristics of those using these tools, an...
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is Associated With Better Cardiometabolic Health and Lower PTSD Severity in Post-9/11 Veterans.
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest that CRF and by proxy physical activity may be important factors in understanding the increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease associated with PTSD. PMID: 32060558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
Source: Military Medicine - Category: International Medicine & Public Health Tags: Mil Med Source Type: research
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the use of patient experiences and feedback to aide product development. In addition, post-9/11 veterans support the use of eScreening to assist health screening. However, evaluating the eScreening program in more diverse veteran groups and Veterans Affairs settings is needed to improve the generalizability of these findings to the larger veteran population.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, studies reported largely positive outcomes for veterans undergoing remote access therapy and in general participants did not find the therapeutic process compromised by remote delivery. Studies showed that remote access therapy is being conducted successfully in both the US and UK. There is, however, a need for more research into the use of remote access therapies to treat a wider range of psychological difficulties in veterans.

Things eventually will return to normal for Romeo Crennel and the Kansas City Chiefs, but not yet.
It's been two days since linebacker Jovan Belcher committed suicide at the Chiefs' facility after murdering his girlfriend in their home. As expected, Crennel spent the majority of his media availability Monday discussing the fallout from those tragic events.
"I think playing the game helped, I think it really did," Crennel said, one day after the Chiefs' 27-21 win over the Carolina Panthers. "It took our minds of our sorrow and put the focus on the field for a couple of hours. I think the outcome of the game, I think that helped us even more."
Crennel called Belcher a strong-willed individual and a leader. Crennel said he was unaware of any "major troubles" in the linebacker's life. Asked about his conversation before the suicide, Crennel said "he was trying to get (Belcher) to understand life is not over, he still has a chance and let's get this worked out." Crennel said he was unware at that moment that Belcher already had shot and killed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins.
"I think we're doing what any other family would do," Crennel said. "Jovan is a member of the family, what he did we didn't like, we're not crazy about, but he's still a member of our family. And when you go out in society, and when things like this happen in society, you don't see people throwing the family members out the door.
"They're still loved by their family members, but the act, you don't like the act. And so you move on, you deal with it, and you don't have a choice. You have to move on."
Crennel was asked what it was like walking through the parking lot where he watched Belcher end his life.
"It was like coming to work like you normally do," he said. "Now, you think about the events as you walk through the door, walk through the parking lot, but the events are over and you can't undo them."
Crennel was very composed, as he has been during this whole saga. The Chiefs' poor performance might cost him his job after the season, but Crennel has handled this delicate situation with a deft touch.

Manhattanville - 70
Farmingdale State - 69
Purchase, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team (10-4, 6-1) had their conference win streak stopped by Manhattanville College (12-4, 5-2) today as the Valiants defeated the Rams 70-69. This was Farmingdale's first conference loss in 10 games, dating back to a loss at St. Joseph's on February 13, 2006.
The Rams held a one-point lead with nine seconds remaining, 69-68, but a Farmingdale foul with 0.8 seconds remaining, gave Manhattanville a chance for the win and Cody Moffett made the two free-throws for the 70-69 Valiants lead, and the final second shot did not fall for the Rams.
Farmingdale struggled from three in the first (shooting only 9 percent) and despite taking the second half, 39-35, the five-point deficit at the half and a 68-percent free-throw percentage would prove to be costly.
Sophomore guard Damien Santana (Brooklyn, NY/Grady) led the Rams with 20 points, while junior guards Rich Riss (Tarrytown, NY/Archbishop Stepinac) and Peter Lipka (Shelton, CT/Shelton) posted eight points each.
Moffett registered a game-high 23 points, including the two game-winning free-throws. John DiBetta finished with 13 points and Donte Chisolm had a 12 point day for the Valiants.
Farmingdale will now host conference rival Old Westbury on Wednesday, January 24th at 7:00pm.

Crabtree Falls claims another casualty
A 21-year-old man became the 27th fatality at the popular Nelson County waterfall on November 22. Elias Lehman of Dayton, Virginia, slipped and fell 300 feet when he went past the barricade at the top to take photographs, reports the News Virginian.
He was alive, but unresponsive as friends carried him down the trail, which took three-and-a-half hours. On the way, he stopped breathing and efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
In August, 61-year-old Charles Shillito died at Crabtree Falls in what authorities believe was a suicide.
10 comments
Ahh I recall so well a winters trip up the mountain on business and seeing the icy wonder of the falls. It was a awe inspiring event. Wish folks could be more careful in enjoying the wonder of it all
What would you do to prevent the next death? Erect bigger, more emphatic signage? Build higher, longer, tighter fencing? Would you totally eliminate access? Should the many suffer because of the mistakes of a few? As a sage mentor told me long ago, "You can't protect people from themselves." another mentor also told me "Locks keep out only the honest." I would add to that, "Warning signs and fences are only honored by survivors."
Crabtree Falls is one of the deadliest waterfalls in America, it should be renamed Crabtree Deathfall. While some of the deaths there can be attributed to suicide most of them weren't. The USFS needs to analyze the danger zones and erect safety nets and other devices that will save lives. Many people respond to this suggestion with derision but the bottom line is that the USFS needs to recognize that this waterfall is going to continue to take more lives unless they do something more to prevent that from happening. If there are people who stray off the trails to take a picture or see a better view or get to a water pool and then fall to their deaths, that unwise decision shouldn't then be a reason for distant onlookers to say, "oh well, they should have stayed on the trail" as they callously blame the victim. Folks this place is dangerous. We need to respect that this place is deadly, has taken many lives and will continue to do so unless the USFS recognizes that it has an affirmative responsibility to protect public safety beyond signage.
read the f****** manual
You won't slip on moss if you don't get too close to the edge. I am sorry to hear about this young mans death but people do not heed common sense or notices to not get too close or cross barriers. No photo is worth your life! My condolences to his family and the friends who lived through this trauma at his side.
God bless that young man.In 1990 I moved here and was taken to
Crabtree fall and fell in love with it ,but as we walked I sliped
on moss and was grabed by the arm and stoped from going over.Thank my buddys quick hands or you'd be saying # 28.
TVann: I think your condolences are negated by the first part of your post. Not helpful or consoling eh?
There are barriers there where the trail gets steep and close to the falls, and the sign at the bottom of the trail says very clearly 'the rocks are dangerous, people have died, stay on the trail and off of the rocks.' It even says how many people have died falling down the falls. So, yeah, it's tragic but this guy wasn't really using any common sense.
Crabtree Falls would be a good subject for a horror movie/documentary, that place is so deadly it is spooky.
ANY loss of life is tragic regardless of the reasons or cause. I'm sure God wont be so cruel as to judge this young man because he made a stupid mistake. But I am sure that God will offer his loved ones strength and compasssion during rough times ahead. Maybge we all need to learn that lesson.

Nia Long dishes on the storyline...
Nia tells The Urban Daily

"She's very feisty, very organized, and knows what she wants. She's all about business, but I think you're going to see her find her heart in the sequel. That's her big challenge."

House of the Heavenly Arch
- "But they of the Heavenly Arch being a folk of uncounted wealth were arrayed in a glory of colors."
- ― The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, The Fall of Gondolin
The House of the Heavenly Arch was one of the Twelve Houses of the Gondolindrim, led by Egalmoth. They were a folk of "unaccounted wealth", and were arrayed in many bright colors, for the "heavenly arch" referred to a rainbow. Their arms were set with jewels that flamed in the light over the sky. Every shield of that battalion was of the blue of the heavens and its boss a jewel built of seven gems: rubies, amethysts, sapphires, emeralds, chrysoprases, topazes, and amber. An opal of great size was set in each of their helms. They were great swordsmen, but also great archers, and with the House of the Swallow defended the walls of Gondolin during the Fall of Gondolin in its northern part, pouring clouds of arrows over the hosts of Orcs. Slowly the battle was lost and they retreated towards the Square of the King, the survivors being gathered together by Tuor along with those from the House of the Swallow. Few of the Heavenly Arch escaped the burning Gondolin and most likely dwelt with Egalmoth at the Mouths of Sirion.[1]

But we do have: remote-controlled beetles!

As kids we were all led to believe we'd be flying around in jet packs by now.
Who do we see about this?
(Yes the sound that you hear is the g-bus starting up.)
I'd settle for vacationing on the moon.
After all, do you really want Florida drivers in 3D?
So, do they crunch especially loud when stomped on?
Cheesewiz, I sent in a flying jetpack story last week. Unfortunately, they're still a little pricy for most of us.
Ah Dave, but we DO have flying cars:
Flight testing has already been completed- only a Florida driver's license is required.
The fumigator (1:21 - 1:25) was pure comic genius! :-P
wingpup - I find that Florida drivers do not crunch any louder when stepped on than any other driver.
That was one big-ass beetle!
I used to watch the Jetsons all the time when I was a little girl. I got to thinking about it one day and realized we do have a lot of the stuff they had. Like where you can talk to someone on the phone and see them at the same time. I'm waiting for the thing that dresses you in the morning and I want a Rosie Robot that will cook and clean for me. Move over Cheesewiz so I can sit with you on the geezer bus.
Those beetles will never sell until they mount twin lasers on their antennae. Now THEN you will have a PRODUCT!
Note to fellow geezers on the Jetsons sub-blog:
Remember how George Jetson's job consisted of pushing one big button?
That's come true, except they gave us entire keyboards to make it more interesting.
I want Rosie too, cindy. And those funky outfits. Oh and that contraption where you can press a button and your meal is ready.
*jumps on the geezer bus*
*snork* @ my BFF!!
*remembers to turn left signal off on geezer bus*
People, be afraid. Today beetles, tomorrow, remote-controlled squirrels, what next???
And the so-called United nations does nothing.
Be very afraid. Or, it could be fun to remote-control certain people I could name.
Siouxie, isn't that contraption where you just push a button and your meal is ready called a microwave oven?
NC, Pad, and Sio, what about the Jetson contraption that comes down and does your hair in any style? And you can change your mind four or five times a minute. That would be a huge leap for womankind.
*Boards Jetson section of the geezer bus.*
I agree with Tash. The remote-controlled pest be a good idea for meetings and seminars. And Congress.
I thought about that cindy...I want instant choices though.
I want a car that sounds like the spaceships.
As quiet as electric cars are now, one probably could rig up a recording to get the job done.
here's your Rosie the Robot. Especially check the third one down.
I'm surprised at you Allen. I was all prepared to give you a *SMACK* and you didn't need it. However nothing can replace a good nurse with a sunny smile, warm caring attitude, and gentle care. If anyone knows one let me know. I'd like to met him/her.
Jane! Stop this crazy beeeeeeeettttttlllllle!
"Siouxie, isn't that contraption where you just push a button and your meal is ready called a microwave oven?"
No, ladies, it's a husband...
Fat chance, Allen. Actually..it's called a telephone.
Allen...marry me!
Another flying car.
Glad to see it flies with the same control of a beetle under its own power.
Okay, I'm a little late but now I've gotta *SMACK* Allen.

Kerry in Kiev
John Kerry's stance and statement in Kiev today were good—clear, strong and calibrated.
He made U.S. sympathies clear.
He didn't bluster.
He was plain about the facts on the ground as he ascertained them. "It is clear that Russia has been working hard to create a pretext for being able to invade further," he said. It has. Vladimir Putin has suggested marauding fascist anti-Semites threaten the peaceful. Kerry said the only thing people on the streets of Kiev feel threatened by is "the potential of a Russian invasion."
But Kerry's remarks were also somewhat summoning toward Russia, mapping out a kind of off-ramp from the crisis—Russian forces should return to their barracks, Russia should agree to an increased number of international observers. "We are not looking for some major confrontation." Putin should "step back and listen carefully." The U.S. wants to see the crisis "de-escalated."
He pledged Ukraine's interim government concrete and specific assistance in the form of loan guarantees and various kinds of technical help in the banking and other economic sectors.
Kerry's trip and statements had a tactical purpose within an emerging overall strategy: to isolate Russia diplomatically and politically in what used to be called the court of world opinion.
It is something between daring and cheeky to go into a potential foreign war zone and address the aggressor from there. But Kerry's words were sober, and the trip seemed a success. Here we add time will tell, in case history records a jacked-up Putin decided to invade eastern Ukraine as he watched Kerry speak.
Throughout this crisis Mr. Kerry has been more impressive than his president. His words have commanded more serious attention; he's the one journalists have watched to get a sense of coming U.S. policy. Kerry appears to be operating within a range of freedoms that his predecessor did not assume, or dare. He gives off an air of knowing the White House needs him and could not afford to lose him. And if that's what he's thinking, he's right: They can hardly afford more discombobulation or disorder. So—he seems to have a lot of independence.
Hillary Clinton had to prove, for personal and political reasons, that she could get along inside, play well with the other children, and be loyal to something besides the Clinton project. That was her agenda. For her, to get along was to go along as foreign policy came out of the White House. Kerry at the end of his career has no such imperatives. He only has to demonstrate that he is what he takes himself to be, a serious man looking to his nation's interests. Anyway, you get a sense as you watch him that when the youngs in the White House call to give him talking points he doesn't jump and say yes.
President Obama too had a statement on Ukraine today. He seemed to be trying to catch up with his secretary of state and project a sense of command. (Interestingly, his statement began before the secretary's had ended, so the cable networks had to cut away from Kerry.) People who insist on their centrality to a drama are rarely at the center of the drama. Obama seemed to be trying to fix on a line regarding the crisis: Russia's invasion shows Russia's weakness. That may be true, but I'm not sure it's helpful to suggest to a man like Putin that he's really a 98-pound weakling.
A cavil about Kerry's statement: It was cluttered a bit at the top with personal emotionalism about how he feels about what he is seeing, how he feels about various aspects of the crisis. Sharing their feelings is what U.S. diplomats now think is necessary to convey real engagement and sincerity: I'm so upset, my heart is exploding and will soon deposit clumps of tissue all over your unmarked uniform.
They should cut it out. They should also stop tweeting their emotional reactions to events. They're diplomats. They're supposed to be grownups. They're supposed to be mature.
I suspect they do it because they believe they are talking to an ignorant and emotional world. (It is also possible they do it because they are themselves ignorant and emotional.) But what they do only encourages ignorance and emotionalism. And in any case their audience is the informed and aware, some of whom are capable of critical thinking.
All of this is a reflection of the age of narcissism: My feelings, my emotions—me, me, me. Do they think the world is impressed? Or is the world, full of people who every day use a dozen platforms to share the urgency of their feelings, secretly impressed by intelligence, knowledge and logic? Discuss, but not emotionally.

Liverpool fan Nick Kelly joins the Royal Wedding avoidance party - in Moscow....
Upon the announcement in November that Prince William was to marry Kate Middleton, my overriding thoughts were not of joy for the happy couple, but of nausea and a desire for escape. Attention quickly turned to football: 'where on earth could I go to get away from this inevitable show of unbridled patriotism?'
A scour through the European fixtures, shortly thereafter, showed that CSKA would host Spartak Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium that very weekend. The Russians would surely not care about Kate and Wills, and instead, I could watch two of the biggest teams in the Russian Premier League meet in the first derby of the season.
A few stressful nights of filling in the Russian visa application later and I was set. Well, as set as I could be before preparing to spend the weekend alone with football fans notorious in their lust for violence and racism, in a country where I spoke none of the language.
I arrived several days before the game, but immediately went about getting hold of a ticket. With the CSKA website less than helpful and my Russian stretching as far as 'privyet' (hello), I headed for the Luzhniki.
Luckily, the ticket office was fairly obvious at the front of the stadium, and after some deft pointing and motioning to indicate 'one', I emerged with a ticket that left me destined for the Spartak away end.
Tickets for the game were reasonable, with my spot costing 400 rubles (slightly less than £9) and seats in the middle sections around 900 (£20).
With capacity set at 78,000, tickets were easy enough to obtain from the ticket office, and prior to the game, there were numerous people trying to offload spare tickets. The ground was barely two-thirds full come kick off.
Most will know the Luzhniki as the venue for the 2008 Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea, although the complex was originally built to host the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The stadium is also set to hold the final of the 2018 World Cup.
To my surprise, the area surrounding the arena was somewhat picturesque. Both the Olympic swimming pool and the Luzhniki Palace of Sports - home to the boxing and basketball competitions in 1980 - are close, by the bend of the Moskva River. The area also features a memorial to the 67 people killed in the controversial stadium disaster of 1982. The tragedy took place as Spartak took on Dutch side HFC Haarlem in the Uefa Cup, although unofficial reports suggest the death toll may have been in excess of that reported by the state.
A more definitive account of the disaster can be read online, but the crush occurred after Spartak scored an injury time goal and fans headed towards the ground's only exit. As the melee intensified, those stuck at the exit attempted to return inside, but were stopped from coming back by the Militsiya. The death of what some speculate to be up to 340 people make it one of the very worst stadium disasters in history.
Skip forward a couple of days to the match and another ride on the spectacular Moscow metro. It's a good job each station is so unique, because I would have been lost in no time.
Naively, I had failed to realise that the game was only nominally an away fixture for Spartak. They shared almost half the stadium and fans mixed openly on the metro. Despite the heavy police presence, relations were hardly amicable, and you could feel a bubbling undercurrent of tension between the two sets of fans.
Walking closer to the ground from the station, there were more and more police and heavily armed guards. There were none of the sights, sounds and smells associated with the normal match-day experience in the UK; no cheering or songs from fans, nor the familiar wafting odours from chips and those other fast food delicacies we so admire.
Instead, fans were subjected to seven instances of being patted down and two separate trips through metal detectors. And yet, despite the heavy-handed security and constant checks, it never felt safe within the ground. Flares were rife and fans were left to govern themselves. Police were happy to merely watch on as Spartak fans battled one another during the first half. Seemingly, the officials take the view that it is more trouble than it's worth to try and completely eradicate violent incidents at Russian football matches.
The football on offer was less than stellar, but then you don't travel to Eastern Europe nowadays to witness quality, do you? Having endured so many dull Premiership affairs with little singing, overzealous stewarding, and the Fratellis blaring shamelessly over the loudspeaker system, it was a satisfying change of scenery.
Spartak were led by a team of 'conductors' dotted throughout the crowd, who selected the different chants and fired the crowd up. Appearing poised to wade through the swarm of fans and assault anyone not singing, they ensured a much-enhanced atmosphere.
I'd like to say I remembered some of the first half's play, but it was instantly forgettable with very few chances. I was too busy enjoying the atmosphere and desperately trying to avoid the eerie glare of the hooded hooligan orchestrator stationed directly in front of me.
The second half was a much livelier affair - more for the incidents in the crowd. During the interval, rather than enjoy the Spartak-CSKA under-10s five-a-side match which was taking place (and roared on more vociferously than many an English game), some Spartak fans thought it a jolly good idea to run round to the CSKA end and steal their banner.
Now a lot has been made about the Manchester City '35 years' banner at Old Trafford, but just imagine if some City fans snuck round to the Stretford End, stole the Ryan Giggs banner, and then proceeded to burn it in right front of the opposition fans' faces.
Now consider that this took place in Russia, with fans itching for a fight and police uninterested in halting activities. As you might have guessed, all hell quickly broke loose.
Around the top of the Luzhniki runs a concourse, similar to that at Hampden Park, although it is fenced off from the fans. Clearly irate, CSKA quickly began to tear up the fencing separating them from the concourse. The incensed mob then congregated and began to head towards the Spartak end.
Up for the fight, the Spartak fans did the same and started their march towards the battlefield above the VIP seats.
Realising that hundreds of warring fans inside a huge stadium might not be the best advert for Russian football, the riot police sprung into life and hurtled up the steps towards the concourse. The enormous riot police presence, now manfully brandishing their truncheons, managed to quell the sparring factions and, thankfully, the action on the pitch soon began to liven up.
With ten minutes remaining, Ari, Spartak's Brazilian forward, sent a 20 yard right-footed drive past Igor Akinfeev and sent the sizeable away support into raptures. Faithful to the ineffectual performance that preceded the goal, CSKA failed to mount any kind of comeback in the remaining minutes.
Spartak emerged victorious and the win pushed them towards the top of the table, albeit at a very early stage in the Russian season. But it wasn't over for those in the away end.
After the tension and rioting from fans, those of us in the away end were kept behind for an hour whilst CSKA supporters vacated the area. Nothing could quell the din from the Spartak fans though - this was one in the eye for their close rivals, both on and off the pitch.
Two weeks later, I received an email from the Spartak fan sat next to me at the game:
'Relations are very tense now after the burning of CSKA's banner. They've already stolen one of our banners, from the A.G.S. group, and will burn it in the cup game tomorrow night.'
CSKA won the cup game - thanks to a penalty shoot-out after a 3-3 draw in normal time - and by burning Spartak's flag, gained some revenge for their opponents' act of derby-day desecration.
With honours even after these first two CSKA-Spartak clashes, the sides meet in August to fight for this season's bragging rights. By happy coincidence for all you adventurous European Football Weekenders, the decider takes place on the UK's August bank holiday weekend...

Where do discriminating culinary workers head after they close shop at 10 PM or so on weekends?
One place is "the place" or as it is translated in Poland and many European cities –Lokal.
This Lokal is in a 33 vinyl record adorned spot on North Avenue at the divide between Bucktown and Wicker Park.
Yes, it's that one with bottomless mimosas and bloody marys during weekend brunches that often has an overflow crowd. Their real busy time though is actually during late nights to 2 AM when one or another DJ plays sets of different themes—from hip hop to soul to jazz or more.
That spinning vinyl plays a part in the Lokal scene is no accident.
Co-owner and chef Arthur Wnorowski's hip hop band has won Independent Music awards and was the 2008 Metromix Best Band. Arthur is a classically trained pianist who, along with his singer wife and other band members, is planning a new album release "Animate Objects" in the coming months.
That Arthur overflows with creative juices is quite apparent from the changing menu, which he says he changes not by timetable but by mood. When we arrived two new dishes had just been added--- Goat Cheese Risotto and Seared Scallops.
We tasted a sample size of the latter, which like other dishes we tasted was very rich, delicious and filling. Arthur smiles and confides he just likes to roll out dishes and then see what happens.
You wouldn't call Lokal an Upscale Polish restaurant but there are definite Polish-specific and European in general touches throughout.
First and foremost you find it in the mixology. Arthur jokes that you could call the drink they have on the menu called "Bizon Grass" a Pojito instead of Mojito. The secret ingredient is Zubrowka, a vodka made from grass that Bison have fed and eliminated on, the latter being so annoying to the FDA that at one point they outlawed this delectable drink but gave in when Europeans roared to bring it back. Indeed the Pojito a.k.a. Bizon Grass is much fresher tasting than your freshest mojito, perhaps the secret being the "muddle" of the "muddled mint" ingredient listed on the menu.
Another most tantalizing ingredient that gives a new twist to the Lokal Old Fashioned is the Cherry Nalewka, a liqueur made with floating soaked cherries in the bottle.
Like the mixology the food has touches of Polish and European cuisine that make each dish a standout. The Berkshire Pork Belly starter was a particularly good, with the pickled celery and apple cider gastrique giving it an extra oomph! If you love kale you will especially love this "just right" Goldilocks degree of wilting.
The Pork Belly starter was particularly interesting to me, as I knew that if left to my own devices I would have never ordered this dish.
That brings up my main tip and word to the wise about Lokal--- ask the waitstaff of Lokal to do the ordering for you or better yet come with a large crowd so you can assemble your own tasting menu. It's ALL delicious and you will likely find as we did that the dishes that most compel your return are not the ones you'd think.
The special that night, which many in the restaurant were enjoying, was a large plate of mussels served with truffle fries. This was on the blackboard outside and only cost $10 – with a portion of ample size for a couple to split and call a light meal if coupled with one of Lokal's fantastic drinks such as the Lokal Mule, which sparkled with ginger beer amidst other ingredients.
Now that winter is coming you can especially look to Lokal's menu items that verge on comfort food quality.
The Potato Pierogi was scrumptious and very rich—with ample scallion cream, leeks and bacon topping. Cheese is a special every Thursday ($5 cheese, $5 wine) – here too note that starter portions are sufficient to be small plate meals for many.
The "market special" Prairie Pork Tenderloin, like the pork belly, had meat that one was able to cut with a fork. In addition to the Eastern European touch of a potato pancake the WOW! in this dish was the apple-radish salad. Here too the dish was above all very rich, largely due to the irresistible mushroom cream sauce on the side.
For a gourmet find it's important to underline that this is not a budget buster restaurant. There are specials every day, with the "bottomless brunch" probably being the most popular. The $9 price for unusual and high caliber vodka flight is also remarkable.
Second warning: We didn't have room for dessert. Then again, we didn't go home feeling lacking in any way.

In Jonathan Schwartz's classroom at Garrison Elementary School in Oceanside, Johnny Cash teaches geography, Hank Williams teaches literature and Woody Guthrie teaches U.S. history.
For about a year now, Schwartz has been using classic American songs to help illuminate core lessons. Those classroom jams have morphed into a student band that has performed on and off campus, including its next gig scheduled for March 15. And the group has received national attention: One of its videos is featured on the U.S. Department of Education's website.
"How many people have heard the term, 'Cry me a river?'" Schwartz asked the second-graders in his room on a recent afternoon.
Few were familiar with the old saying, so Schwartz helped them grasp its meaning as he read the lyrics: "The tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River."
Taking the lesson one step further, he picked up his acoustic guitar and led the students to the back of the room to join him in singing Cash's "Big River." The children sang along and improvised dance moves until their teacher reached a line about St. Paul.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Schwartz said. "St. Paul is the capital of what state?"
Hands filled the air until one student responded with "Minnesota." Then the music resumed.
Such interruptions continued throughout the song and the next tune as Schwartz interjected questions about geography, history and literary references.
"It's like a living and breathing research project," Schwartz said a few minutes later, describing how he incorporates music into core lessons.
The idea emerged after Schwartz, a self-described mothballed musician, had played one too many versions of "Old McDonald" in class and longed for something more challenging and relevant.
One day on a whim, he broke into the Grateful Dead-recorded "Deep Elem Blues," expecting the students to be left cold. Instead, a particularly shy girl began dancing.
He later saw other quiet students come out of their shell when singing, and he started looking for opportunities to bring more music into his classroom.
"The next thing I knew, these kids were memorizing long blues songs and I thought, 'This is amazing.' I got out my iPhone and started taking videos," he said.
Schwartz shared the videos with professors at California State University San Marcos, where he was pursuing a degree in special education, and they told him he was onto something.
Following the advice of Garrison Elementary Principal Margie Oliver, also a musician, Schwartz reviewed the English language arts standards from the state Board of Education, which calls for content-rich curriculum and links between arts and other subjects.
He chose to focus largely on blues songs that reflect American history, with the aim of helping students build their vocabulary, connect with English, and learn about narrative writing.
His band, which has grown to include all 30 students in his class, has a repertoire of 16 songs. Students sing along on choruses, perform a little choreography, and take solos on kazoos.
They've performed at their school and at Cal State San Marcos. Through a friend who works for Sage Hospitality, Schwartz has lined up the March 15 performance for a corporate leadership conference at the Hilton in Del Mar. The conference organizers are picking up the transportation tab and donating two computers to the school, Schwartz said.
The classroom band also has gotten the attention of blues legend Elvin Bishop, best known for "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."
"He is interested in the work we are doing and is excited to exchange letters with the students and do some conference calls answering students' questions," Schwartz said, adding that Bishop has allowed the students to record one of his songs and may visit them this year.
Videos and other information about Schwartz's students and the band can be found on the classroom website.

Libraries make summer reading fun
School's out! Children yell and jump for joy, getting pumped for a fun summer of beaches, lazy days and reading. Anne Arundel and Calvert Libraries are helping kids Dig into Summer Reading, a national initiative to make books part of summer's fun.
Anne Arundel and Calvert libraries are spicing summer reading with jugglers, mad scientists, magicians and puppets.
"This is an opportunity for kids to have fun with reading," says Beverly Izzi, Calvert Library's youth services coordinator. "They get the chance to read whatever they want."
Kids get free rein on book, which can be checked out from the library or read at home. Each child gets a reading log to keep track of summer reading.
To entice kids to read more, the libraries offer chances to win prizes including goodies out of a treasure chest, flower seeds, baseball tickets, iTunes gift cards and family passes to Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
In Calvert, once readers complete their game board — which includes missions such as asking a librarian for help or reading outside — they enter a prize drawing.
Anne Arundel's challenges vary by age. Kids need to read five to six books to get a chance for a prize. Teens solve puzzles on Facebook to win prizes (www.facebook.com/AACPLteen).
Prizes including goodies out of a treasure chest, flower seeds, baseball tickets, family passes to Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Baltimore Museum of Industry or.
Most programs begin the week of June 24. To find out what the library closest is doing check their websites.

Outlook 2015: Japanese equities
Strong corporate earnings growth and a weak yen should continue to provide support to Japanese equities in 2015.
The euphoria in Japanese equities that we witnessed in 2013 was somewhat tempered this year as stock prices in Japan came to terms with a raft of disappointing economic data following a consumption tax increase in April.
Strong corporate earnings growth and a weak yen should continue to provide support to Japanese equities in 2015.
The correlation between the Japanese yen's weakness and rising stock prices continued to drive the market later in the year and the TOPIX index is in positive territory year-to-date. The consumption tax hike in April – which saw an increase from 5% to 8% – contributed to slowing growth, the extent of which become apparent by two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth (in real terms) for the second and third quarters.
Taxes and elections
The headline-grabbing news for Japanese stocks came in a flurry of announcements. First, there was late October's ramp-up in the Bank of Japan's quantitative easing (QE) programme as it announced plans to significantly increase its purchase of Japanese government bonds (JGBs) as well as risk assets, Japanese equity ETFs and J-REITs (real estate companies). And only a few weeks later Prime Minister Abe announced a postponement to a consumption tax originally planned for October 2015 and called a snap election for December 2014. The 18-month delay of the second consumption tax increase – which will see it go from 8% to 10% – means the rise will be implemented in April 2017 without any further postponement. There was also positive news in October when Japan's government pension fund, GPIF – the world's largest of its kind – announced a reduction of its bond portfolio by allocating more positions to Japanese and global equities.
As a result of these developments, the yen has continued on its depreciation trend while the stockmarket received a boost from the end of October in to November.
Resilient economy
Despite the recent setback after April's consumption tax hike, evidenced by an unexpected two negative quarters of GDP growth, we remain positive on the improving trend of Japan's economy. The tightening labour market continues to suggest constant wage growth, which we think will support the inflationary trend that the Bank of Japan has targeted. Given that the second consumption tax increase has now been postponed we believe the benefits of higher wages over the next two years will start to feed through to the real economy and that this will result in a solid recovery in domestic consumption next year. Furthermore, the country's listed firms are more resilient than one might assume. Japanese companies are expected to derive more than half of their earnings from overseas operations. Although global growth is slowing, the trajectory is likely to be one of a modest recovery led by the US over the coming years. And within Japan, we are also seeing an encouraging picture. Corporate earnings continue to improve and corporate capital spending budgets are also being expanded, which should hopefully translate into higher growth in domestic demand.
Upside to corporate earnings
As mentioned previously, corporate earnings growth is still expanding at a solid pace in Japan and there are further drivers that will likely see this trend continue. One is the positive impact of yen weakness, which has not been fully realised in company earnings forecasts. Many exporters are still factoring in an average dollar/yen rate of around 100-105 yen – while the current exchange rate stands at around 118 yen to the greenback.
Further positive news for Japanese companies could come in the form of corporate tax cuts, one of the key initiatives in Abe's growth strategy. With Japan's rate among the highest in the world's developed economies, a reduction in the top rate from the current 35% to less than 30% over a period of a few years could continue to support corporate earnings in the medium-term.
More importantly, from a mid to long-term view, we are witnessing landmark advances in corporate governance in Japan. Measures aimed at improving governance include requiring outside directors on company boards, the creation of the JPX400 – an index with quantitative and qualitative criteria, including a higher return-on-equity (ROE) and the enforcement of Japan's stewardship code. Early 2015 should see continued reform. The Tokyo Stock Exchange will set up a corporate governance code. Reflecting such a development, an increasing number of companies have announced share buybacks to reduce their cash pile and improve ROE. All of the above means that the outlook for Japan Inc. going into 2015 looks encouraging.
Focus on fundamentals
So where will we be looking for opportunities in 2015? Sustainable mid- to long-term earnings and valuations are what we are focusing on when we look at which companies to invest in. This would preferably come through company-specific growth drivers as opposed to just betting on the cyclical recovery or macroeconomic tailwinds such as only on a weaker yen. We are finding cyclical stocks including autos, electrics, and some parts of machinery attractive, given their potential for upward revisions to earnings, while being mindful of valuations. We also like trading companies and financial stocks given their cheap valuations. Turnaround opportunities among out-of-favour stocks are also an area where we see additional investment ideas as we go into 2015. As always, we continue to remain disciplined and strictly adhere to our bottom-up stockpicking approach, leveraging our in-house fundamental research platform on the ground.
