In what is believed to be the first time since the 1940s, the entire British defense staff will be here March 25 to discuss long-range strategy and the impact of budget cuts with their U.S. counterparts, according to U.S. and British sources.
U.S., U.K. Chiefs To Hold Historic Strategy Meeting
In what is believed to be the first time since the 1940s, the entire British defense staff will be here March 25 to discuss long-range strategy and the impact of budget cuts with their U.S. counterparts, according to U.S. and British sources.
The meeting is reminiscent of the Combined Chiefs of Staff, when British and American military leaders joined forces during World War II. Both nations are undergoing significant budgetary reductions and will continue to rely on each other in future years for support. Understanding what capabilities will survive and won't is essential to long-term strategic planning.
"The relationship military to military is very strong. We have common interest in how we meet the financial constraints placed on both nations, but also on issues like how we manage the drawdown in Afghanistan and also how we reconfigure post Afghanistan," said Sir Gerald Howarth, a member of parliament and the ex-defense minister responsible for international security affairs from 2010 to 2012.
"We have a huge amount of strategic issues to discuss where we have a very large level of common interest," he said.
A Defence Ministry spokesman characterized the meeting as private and declined further comment.
In the U.S., spokesmen for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not respond to questions.
U.S. and British military leaders regularly discuss ongoing issues. What's different about this series of meetings is they will focus not on immediate budget, program or operational issues, but the strategic future of the Anglo-American alliance, including deepening cooperation.
In addition to the U.S. Joint Chiefs, British attendees are expected to include Gen. Sir David Richards, chief of the Defence Staff; Gen. Sir Nicholas Houghton, vice chief of the Defence Staff, who will take over as chief when Richards retires later this year; Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, chief of the Air Staff; Adm. Sir George Zambellas, incoming Navy first sea lord; Gen. Sir Peter Wall, chief of the General Staff; and Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, commander of Joint Forces Command, sources said.
The U.S. and U.K. regularly share the most sensitive military intelligence, technology and equipment, including submarine-launched nuclear ballistic missiles. Britain over the past decade in particular has shaped its capabilities to dovetail with U.S. forces.
The British are the leading developmental partner on the U.S.-led F-35 fighter program with Lockheed Martin and have in their inventory Boeing C-17 transports, Chinook and Apache helicopters and Lockheed C-130 cargo aircraft. In addition, the Royal Air Force is buying highly sensitive RC-135 Rivet Joint intelligence planes produced by L-3 Communications in the U.S., making London the only international customer for that program.
The meeting comes as the Pentagon faces $500 billion in spending cuts over the coming decade, which will force senior leaders to make difficult choices. The British delegation arrives with particular experience in that area, having faced even deeper budget cuts — in percentage terms — over the past several years, forcing major reforms to force structure, organization and acquisition programs in that time.
"Getting value for money and efficiency is something we have focused a considerable amount of attention on, and we can offer them advice in that area," Howarth said.
Still, the British budget is a fraction of that of the U.S. In fact, at $62.7 billion in 2011, the British budget is not much larger than the size of the annual cuts faced by the Americans. Under mandatory cuts for the remainder of 2013, the Pentagon is reducing its budget by $46 billion.
Yet the U.S. military could learn a thing or two from its British counterparts when it comes to consolidation, especially within the headquarters staff ranks, said Barry Pavel, the director of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council here.
"I think [the U.S.] can learn a lot," Pavel said. "There's a lot of inefficiencies in our headquarters. They've taken jointness … to new levels that we haven't yet done."
But the British, having cut so deeply, are also in need. They are "going to have to leverage the U.S. to a greater degree, or try to," Pavel said.
To get leaner and reduce overhead in recent years, the British military consolidated its war colleges into a single school and created an operational command center outside of London to oversee operations, according to retired British Army Brig. Gen. Ben Barry, now with the International Institute for Strategic Studies think tank in London.
The U.S. Defense Department is already preparing for force structure reductions in the coming years and is re-evaluating its military strategy to determine how further budget cuts would affect its plans.
U.S. and British forces routinely train together and have fought side-by-side over the past decade in Afghanistan and Iraq. In Afghanistan, British Lt. Gen. Nick Carter serves as the deputy commander to U.S. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, commander of NATO forces.
"On the day-to-day business of military cooperation, the relationship between the U.S. [NATO] commander and the British second in command is another good example of working in partnership," Howarth said.
The two militaries regularly participate in personnel exchanges.

European Commission
Brussels, 16 December 2013
Statement by the EC, ECB and IMF on the Tenth Review mission to Portugal
Staff teams from the European Commission (EC), European Central Bank (ECB), and International Monetary Fund (IMF) visited Lisbon during December 4-16 for the tenth quarterly review of Portugal's economic adjustment programme.
Further signs of recovery have emerged since the last review. Growth is broadly in line with projections, while unemployment has fallen by more than expected. External rebalancing has continued, although imports have picked up, reflecting stronger-than-expected domestic demand.
The programme's fiscal targets have been confirmed. With tax collections performing well, the 2013 deficit target of 5.5 percent of GDP is achievable. The 2014 budget was approved by Parliament with only a few changes. It includes important steps towards rationalising and modernising public administration, improving the sustainability and fairness of the pension system, and lowering costs across ministries. If some of these measures are determined to be unconstitutional, the Government has re-affirmed its commitment that it will then identify and implement compensatory measures of high quality to meet the agreed deficit target of 4 percent of GDP. Such measures, however, could heighten risks to growth and employment and reduce the prospects for a sustained return to financial markets.
The banking sector is stable, but low profitability signals that challenges remain. Capital buffers are broadly adequate and liquidity conditions are improving. However, profitability remains weak, and the corporate debt overhang is a source of vulnerabilities for the banking sector that must be addressed so as not to put a brake on medium-term growth prospects. Credit conditions remain challenging, notwithstanding recent improvements for lower-risk companies.
Continued structural reform efforts will have to be the centrepiece of a credible strategy for sustainable growth in the coming years. The Government has already made important progress in implementing challenging structural reforms, but more evidence of their impact on the functioning of the economy is needed. Accordingly, the implementation of reforms must be continuously evaluated to ensure that they deliver the desired results. Further efforts to facilitate a sustained rebalancing of the economy from the non-tradable to the tradable sector should focus on increasing competition and flexibility in product and labour markets, against the background of a more efficient and streamlined public administration, so as to promote the flexible reallocation of resources. Articulating credible and time-bound reforms towards this end would reassure investors that improvements in Portugal's economic fundamentals are becoming entrenched.
The programme remains on track, and the authorities are determined to ensure continued programme compliance. Market sentiment towards Portugal's sovereign debt has gradually improved, as also evidenced by robust demand for a debt exchange in early December, which reduced remaining financing needs in 2014. Public debt remains high but is sustainable provided programme implementation and reaffirmed ownership remain resolute, thereby supporting the Government's return to full market financing. Provided the authorities persevere with steadfast programme implementation, euro area member states have declared they stand ready to support Portugal until full market access is regained.

New research suggests that Botox isn't just good for paralyzing the facial muscles that allow humans to communicate unspeakable emotions and bridge the fathomless chasms that exist between ultimately forsaken individuals bound together in the loose and unsatisfying confederacy we call "society" — it may help patients cope with a major depressive disorder that has so far proved unresponsive to antidepressant medications. In the first randomized, controlled study on botulinum toxin, researchers gave participants single dose of Botox in an area just above the eyebrows, while all those guileless control group fools got a placebo, mwahahah!
Ahem, moving right along — depressive symptoms in the treatment group decreased in the treatment group 47 percent after six weeks. That improvement, moreover, held true throughout the rest of the 16-week study period (the stupids in the placebo showed just a 9 percent reduction in symptoms while they scratched their heads and wondered if they should be feeling something or not). Study author M. Axel Wollmer can't be blamed for emphasizing his awesome middle name and believes that Botox treatment "interrupts feedback from the facial musculature to the brain, which may be involved in the development and maintenance of negative emotions." Earlier studies have linked Botox with depression for the very same reason — that by paralyzing facial expressions, it forced patients to internalize all their negative feelings. Not being able to express these emotions, however, may actually benefit people suffering from treatment-resistant depression,

Steve Ballmer Hints at Microsoft Building More Hardware
Microsoft's Surface tablet might not be the last piece of hardware the company will build — at least if you believe CEO Steve Ballmer.
Speaking at a tech industry event in Santa Clara, Calif. on Wednesday, Ballmer said he expects the "lion's share" of all Windows devices over the next five years will be built by Microsoft's partners.
"With that said, it is absolutely clear that there is an innovation opportunity on the scene between hardware and software and that is a scene that must not go unexploited at all by Microsoft," he added.
Microsoft, traditionally a software company, surprised many with Surface, which is the company's first foray into building its own hardware. Several of Microsoft's hardware partners — especially Acer — openly criticized the company for building a product that directly competes against their own.
Surface did not make Microsoft much richer, either. While the reviews for the device were mixed, sales so far were less than stellar, according to Ballmer's own admisssion.

Though Scarlett Johansson is known for her deep and torrid voice, a new study shows that women are most attractive to the opposite sex when they are ovulating — because their voices go up in pitch. Researchers Nathan Pipitone and Gordon Gallup recorded women counting from 1 to 10 at different points in their menstrual cycle, according to the New Scientist. Then they replayed the recordings to a group of men and women; across the board and regardless of gender, everyone found the women's voices most "attractive" when they were at their "peak fertility." According to the New Scientist, "The results are in line with evidence that the female voice box, or larynx, is under the influence of sex hormones." Other animals show physical evidence that they are in "heat" (experiencing estrus)— their genitals swell, they urinate more frequently — but the results of this study are giving more weight to the idea that humans experience estrus as well; the evidence is just more subtle.
Because the evidence of a woman being "in heat" has evolved to be subtle, contends the New Scientist, "Men become increasingly sensitive to the tiny changes that do occur. Other women also pick up on the changes, perhaps to keep an eye on the competition."
And speaking of female competition, a second recently released study shows that estrogen works in women in a similar manner to the way testosterone works in men in relation to competition. In alpha females who are "power motivated," reports Reuters, estrogen levels shoot up when they win, and plummet when they lose. The opposite happens in women who are not "power motivated": their estrogen levels fall when they win and rise when they lose. The relationship between estrogen and competition, according to scientists, is strongest in single women who are not on oral contraceptives.

San Jose Earthquakes 1, Columbus Crew 1 | MLS Match Recap
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After three games at their once all-but-impregnable fortress, the San Jose Earthquakes are still searching for their first victory of 2014.
After three games on the road, the Columbus Crew are still unblemished by defeat.
The Quakes and Crew continued their early-season trends Sunday, when Federico Higuain and Chris Wondolowski traded goals on either side of halftime and both teams hit the woodwork in the second half of a 1-1 tie.
Higuain scored his fourth goal of the season for Columbus (3-1-1, 10pts), turning home a neat grounded cross from Waylon Francis in the 44th minute. Wondolowski countered for San Jose (0-2-2, 2pts) with his third of 2014 in the 51st minute, heading home Shea Salinas' corner kick.
Columbus created the best build-ups in a first half marked mostly by end-to-end counterattacks on both sides. Higuain finally cashed in one of those chances just before the half, slipping in unmarked while Hector Jimenez found Francis with a diagonal pass sliced across the field. Francis took the ball to the end line before delivering it for Higuain to slot home with his left foot from 12 yards.
San Jose nearly equalized in the 47th minute when Yannick Djalo, freshly inserted at the half, took a short corner and beat Steve Clark with a delicate chip that ricocheted off the back post and out.
The Quakes continued their pressure and did even the score on their fifth corner kick in the opening six minutes of the second half. Wondolowski ghosted in behind Victor Bernardez's near-post run and deposited an easy header in the back of the net.
The Crew came close to taking all three points in the 82nd minute as Dominic Oduro, a menace for much of the day, nearly put Columbus in the lead with a left-footed effort that rang off the crossbar.
Wondolowski also came close to finding a winner in the 89th minute after being freed by a lead pass from Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi, but his shot tailed wide of the near post.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Federico Higuain
|The guiding light of the Crew: All over the field marshalling the attack, although he can also finish things off as he expertly showed on the first-half goal.
|Dominic Oduro
|Deserved to be rewarded with a goal for a full match of tireless and selfless running, but the crossbar got in the way late in the game.
|Yannick Djalo
|He came on at halftime and was a significant quality upgrade for the Quakes who had threatened very little in the opening 45. Hit the post and gave the fans a sombrero to remember.

District 2 race heats up
There are questions over numbers and spending in the race for Nebraska's District 2 U.S. House seat.
Rep. Lee Terry said his challenger John Ewing went over budget every year as Douglas County treasurer. But Ewing said that's just plain false.
KETV NewsWatch 7 examined county documents dating back to 2007 and found numbers matching what Terry's campaign offered. However, Terry's numbers do not take into account adjustments over which Ewing said he had no control. Those include adjustments made by the county board that authorized salary increases for employees.
An ad by the Terry campaign attacking Ewing's record as county treasurer ran 42 times in Omaha on Monday.
"Every year he's been in office, he has exceeded what the county board approved in his budget," Terry said. "In Washington, that's called deficit spending."
Ewing said the numbers show he actually spent less than his budget allowed.
"(Terry) doesn't understand how the county budget system works and the fact that the county board negotiates the salaries for the employees and then adds that money back to our budget," Ewing said.
According to financial reports from the county, Ewing spent less than his budget the last four years. Halfway through the budget cycles, nearly all departments got some sort of salary adjustments made to their budgets.
Commissioner Clare Duda, who stood by Terry at a news conference Monday, said every year the board has had to further supplement Ewing's budget.
"This is, to me, the most egregious example of someone who has never been able to live within the budget that we have set for them," Duda said.
Douglas County Commissioner Mike Boyle, however, says the numbers put out by Terry's campaign don't make sense to him.
"The damage isn't done at all," Boyle said. "People will be very angry when they see these dirty tricks that Clare Duda and Lee Terry tried to pull."
Terry's campaign manager said the numbers just show Ewing could have made other choices.
"The fact is he sat idly by and overspent his budget by $688,000," Dave Boomer said.
Ewing said Terry is trying to mislead people and that department heads don't have control over salary adjustments that come from county board negotiations.
Ewing said he has saved $230,000 by staying under budget.
"Over $10 trillion in debt on his watch, and he wants to say that I don't know how to run a budget," Ewing said. "I think people can make the decision of who is the executive that's cut government spending in this race."

First FY10 NEA Grants to Orchestras Announced - (December 15, 2009)
Washington, D.C. - Grants awarded to orchestras by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) provide critical funding for projects that increase access to music in communities nationwide. The first FY10 NEA grant awards were announced on December 8 through the Challenge America: Reaching Every Community Fast Track Review and Access to Artistic Excellence grant categories. NEA funding both directly supports local projects and also spurs critical giving from other sources like private foundations, corporations, and individual contributors.
Orchestras in 14 communities will provide performances, workshops, festivals and master classes with the support of $10,000 grants recently awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Challenge America grants will help orchestras bring the experience of the arts to underserved populations limited by geography, demographics, economics, or disability.
Access to Artistic Excellence (Part One) grants totaling $1,471,500 will allow 52 distinct orchestra projects to provide educational activities, concerts, premieres, festivals, podcasts, radio broadcasts, orchestra tours, professional development, and residencies in communities across the country.
Future FY10 grants will be announced in the categories of Learning in the Arts for Children & Youth and Access to Artistic Excellence Part Two.
The League has compiled the project descriptions for grants to orchestras and grants related to the orchestra field. Complete lists of grant amounts and project descriptions for awards in all disciplines may be found on the NEA web site.

Manufacturers Make the Most of TechnologyBy Bob Violino Print
Technologies such as radio frequency identification, product life cycle management and business intelligence/business analytics can help manufacturers improve performance and meet the demand for products as the economy recovers.
Manufacturing companies face daunting challenges: managing inventory across an increasingly complex global supply chain; dealing with wildly varying demands for products; tracking the location of products in factories, warehouses and distribution centers; and monitoring products as they move through their life cycles.
Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), product life cycle management (PLM) and business intelligence/business analytics (BI/BA) can help manufacturers address these and other challenges, significantly improve performance and meet the demand for products as the economy recovers.
RFID systems enable manufacturers to track goods as they move through the supply chain. The technology involves the use of tags affixed to products, packaging, cartons or pallets, along with readers that detect the presence of the tags when they're within a certain distance.
RFID can contribute to better customer service, according to Dan Miklovic, vice president, Manufacturing Industries Advisory Services, at research firm Gartner. "Manufacturers that understand how to leverage information to provide enhanced value through end-to-end service delivery—instead of just pushing products out the door—will be the winners going forward," he says.
See Also: Technology-Business Alignment Pays Off in Efficient Collaboration
The systems can potentially help manufacturers better manage their supply chains by improving the visibility of products. In a report published in March, Gartner noted that supply chain RFID is maturing, and cited two primary and distinct application areas for RFID: inventory management and mobile asset optimization.
Product life cycle management is another key technology category for manufacturers. PLM covers a product's conception, design and manufacture, service and disposal. The technology is especially valuable today, as managing the information associated with a product's life cycle has become increasingly complex.
"For many discrete manufacturers, PLM competence will be the make-or-break" factor, Miklovic says. "Whether it is complying with carbon reduction targets, REACH [a European Community regulation on chemicals and their safe use] or other mandatory or customer-dictated design criteria, the ability to quickly design products that are 'manufacturable' at a market-acceptable price point will require substantial reliance on PLM."
Multiple users at manufacturing companies can also benefit from BI/BA and its reporting and analytical capabilities. The technology enables companies to gain valuable insights from the information they're gathering and allows managers to make more informed decisions.
One of the key benefits of BI/BA is improved decision making to support product development, supply and demand, operations and financial management, says Bob Parker, group vice president, Manufacturing Insights, at IDC.
BI/BA can have even greater value when different types of business users can access the tools as part of their day-to-day jobs, experts say. "I think we will see a radical transition in BI in the future," Miklovic says. "We have focused too long and too much on giving management visibility into operations so they can drill down and diagnose problems. I see a better way: Give operations access to business information so they make the right decisions in the first place. Now that is real BI."
Following are examples of how some manufacturing companies are leveraging these three technologies to improve operations and business results.
Tracking Products
Many companies are using RFID to trace the movement of products in the supply chain, and even to track how and when the products are being used. In 2008, Implanet, a French manufacturer of implantable medical devices, began using an RFID system from IBM as the foundation for BeepN'Track, a service that tracks the movement of Implanet's products across its supply chain to hospitals.
The drivers for implementing the technology included improving supply chain management and inventory savings, reducing human error, speeding up device recalls, automating the tracing of medical devices from manufacturing to patient use, adding supply chain security and reducing product counterfeiting, says Erick Cloix, Implanet's CEO.
By using RFID technology, a Web application and a MobiPad M3+ handheld PDA from Maintag, BeepN'Track enables Implanet and hospitals to share data about the location of unused implantable devices. The system also provides data on when specific items were used and when product inventories need to be replenished. In addition, it helps Implanet manage potential device recalls.
Previously, such processes had been handled manually, "which would make it difficult for hospitals to know an item had arrived—thus leading to unnecessary and costly replacement ordering," Cloix recalls. "In addition, the billing process was time-consuming, and it increased chances of making mistakes in shipping, leaving hospitals without all the devices they had ordered."
BeepN'Track is based on IBM WebSphere Sensor Events and IBM InfoSphere Traceability Server software. The information stored on the Tagsys 13.56MHz high- frequency passive tags is gathered by the Sensor Events software and transmitted to the Traceability Server software. This allows Implanet to manage and share information with the systems of any trading partners that adhere to GS1, a global standard for capturing and sharing sensor data.
By using BeepN'Track, Implanet has reduced consignment stock by 20 percent, increased sales by 5 percent, improved productivity by eliminating manual processes and human errors, and automated ordering and resupply processes. Accurate device recall, automated traceability, device availability and other process improvements have led to increased patient safety. The system also has helped Implanet with regulatory compliance efforts.

Enjoy a taste of aristocratic lifestyle and Titanic-era glamour by staying with real-life aristocrats in one of Ireland's unspoiled grand homes and castles. By Vanessa Harriss
"In my grandparents' day, it really was like Downton Abbey, with big weekend parties and lots of servants," says Fred Madden, heir to Hilton Park in County Monaghan, which has been in his family for four centuries.
But like the real-life Highclere Castle, where the adventures of Julian Fellowes' Earl of Grantham are filmed, big houses have to find a way to survive in the 21st century.
And luckily for those of us who crave some Titanic-era glamour, many of the owners have opened them to paying guests…
Alan Brooke, 3rd Viscount Brookeborough of Colebrooke Park in Fermanagh, believes that those grand house parties had a special magic: "People would be invited because they were interesting and could entertain the family and each other."
These days, "we have groups for shooting or fishing who already know each other, which makes it easier because we really take part as hosts when people come to stay."

But it's not all just economic reasons. Emily Bunbury, whose husband's family bought Lisnavagh, County Carlow, in 1702, says that guests are essential for the building's soul. "You can feel it as soon as you walk in: Lisnavagh really loves a good party, otherwise it can start to feel like a museum."
So what's it like to have strangers in your living room? "Busy!" laughs Alex Durdin-Robertson, whose family have lived in Huntington Castle in Carlow since it was built in 1625. "We've got two boys under two, four dogs and a pair of pot-bellied pigs. Even without visitors it's chaos!"
Even so, living in a national treasure is a balancing act. "On the one hand it's a 400-year-old castle, but on the other it's where we live. At six o'clock it turns back into our home."
Growing up in a castle was great fun, admits Alex: "We used to hide under a four-poster bed and giggle at the visitors. They probably thought the place was haunted!"
Giving small boys the run of the place can be risky, though. "I once kicked a football and knocked over a glass of red wine – it splattered right up the wall," remembers Fred. The rest of us would solve the problem with a damp cloth, but in a house like Hilton Park it isn't so easy.
"The wallpaper in one of the bedrooms is actually listed," says Fred. "Luckily this was in the drawing room and we had a spare roll so we could repair the damage. I was more careful after that!"
Colebrooke's busy months are in the winter for the shooting, whereas the others are open during the summer. But for all of them, come the end of the season, the doors are closed.
Emily Bunbury echoes all the owners when she laughs, "By that stage the house needs a rest for a few weeks – and so do we!"

text: Reggio di Calabria, commonly known as Reggio Calabria About this sound listen or Reggio in Southern Italy, is the biggest city and the most populated comune of Calabria, Southern Italy, is the capital of the Province of Reggio Calabria and is the seat of the Regional Council of Calabria.Reggio is located on the "toe" of the Italian peninsula and is separated from the island of Sicily by the Strait of Messina. It is situated on the slopes of the Aspromonte, a long, craggy mountain range that runs up through the center of the region. The third economic center of mainland Southern Italy, the city proper has a population of more than 180,000 inhabitants spread over 236 square kilometres, while the fast-growing urban area numbers 260,000 inhabitants. More than 370,000 people live in the metropolitan area, recognised in 2009 by Italian Republic as a metropolitan city.As a major functional pole in the region, it has strong historical, cultural and economic ties with the city of Messina, which lies across the strait in Sicily. With the sicilian metropolitan city of Messina, is also talk of a 'possible creation' of the metropolitan city of the Straits of Messina, with approximately 800,000 to 900,000 inhabitants.Reggio is the oldest city in the region, and despite its ancient foundation – Ρηγιον was an important and flourishing colony of Magna Graecia – it boasts a modern urban system, set up after the catastrophic earthquake on December 28, 1908, which destroyed most of the city. The region is subject to earthquakes and tsunami. It is a major economic center for regional services and transport on the southern shores of the Mediterranean.Reggio, with Naples and Taranto, is home to one of the most important archaeological museums, the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Magna Græcia, dedicated to Ancient Greece. Reggio is the seat, since 1907, of the Archeological Superintendence of Bruttium and Lucania. The city has two recently founded universities: the "Mediterranea" University, and the "Università per Stranieri". There are also an Academy of Fine Arts and a Conservatory of Music.The city center, consisting primarily of Liberty buildings, has a linear development along the coast with parallel streets, and the promenade is dotted with rare magnolias and exotic palms.Reggio has commonly used popular nicknames: The "city of Bronzes", for the Riace bronzes which are testimonials of its Greek origins; the "city of bergamot", which is exclusively cultivated in the region; and the "city of Fatamorgana", an optical phenomenon visible in Italy only from the Reggio seaside.The city is one of the Italian candidates, to become in 2019 the European Capital of Culture.

Trip to Langkawi, 2-4 January 2009
>> Monday, January 5, 2009
Caution: This will be a very long post...enjoy reading it nonetheless ;)
Note: I've removed the info on food & restaurants from this post & put up another post on food alone ;)
Date: 2-4 January 2009, Friday-Sunday
Venue: Langkawi island, Kedah Darul Aman
Occasion: Annual Get-Together/Trip/Retreat with a group of friends
Price: RM364 for the package - includes 2 nights stay at Langkasuka Beach Resort, Island Hopping (3 islands) + lunch, Snorkeling activity at Coral Island + lunch, car rental (Avanza) throughout the 3 days on the island. ~ RM220 for return flight tickets (LCCT-Langkawi with AirAsia & Langkawi-Subang with Fireflyz).
Sun, sea, sand, & ... a bunch of crazee friends!! *woot!!*
This trip was a long-awaited one :) We've been planning for it since the beginning of year 2008 & we managed to get a reasonable package from the 1st Matta fair last year. We only managed to gather 6 of us friends for the trip, so the package was a 'lil more expensive (since the package catered for 8 persons). Furthermore, we scheduled the trip for the 2-4 Jan, which are super-peak seasons...as we tried to accomodate our friends who are studying/working abroad...but in the end, none of them could return to join us for the trip...*sigh* That's the only sad part, I guess.
I'll just summarize my 'mak-nenek' stories for your reading pleasure:
Day 1, 2 January 2009 (Friday)
4:30am - Woke up
4:45am - Left the Gloria's house for KL Sentral station
5:15am - Arrived at KL Sentral station & met up with Chris, Jinn, & Kat
5:30am - Hopped onto the Skybus to LCCT Airport
6:45am - Arrived at LCCT
7:20am - Checked in
8:20am - Took off on the AirAsia flight to Langkawi
Slightly more spacious, but in Air Asia, everything is about cash! Food also have to pay, check in luggage also have to pay RM10.00/luggage :(
9:20am - Arrived at Langkawi International Airport. We were greeted by Kak Rose, our tour agent. We were given the Avanza, loaded our stuff into the vehicle, & left directly to the jetty for our 1st activity - Island Hopping.
Island Hopping
In this package, there were 3 islands to cover: Pulau Beras Basah, Eagle Feeding (at I-dunno-what's-the-island-name), & Pulau Dayang Bunting. We took a speedboat from island to island, & the driver of our speedboat was actually quite a cheeky & funny Malay chap :) We got all wet & salty thanks to his manuvering of the boat. *bah* Salty sea water was SO bad for our eyes!! *wergh*
Pulau Beras Basah
Hmm...supposedly the island for Water Sports, but we didn't go on any. In a way, we were quite unprepared for the day...hahaha...there wasn't any toilets, no place to change, no place to pee (or do any 'business' for the matter of fact)!! *sigh* A few of us didn't wear our beach wear from KL itself (we wore t-shirt & jeans instead) as we thought it will be slightly cold on the airplane. Our initial plan was to change into our beach wear upon arrival at the island, but bummer, we didn't have enough time & there wasn't anywhere for such plans to take place :(
In the end, 3 of us girls had to change in the jungle-area among the bushes...bleagh! Furthermore, all of us had no choice but to pee in the jungle, right in the open where monkey & bugs live...how 'awesome'...well, not like I've never done it before, but I just dread going through such things again...*lol*
We ended up using that 1-hour on this island for lunch, which was packed for us by Kak Rose, & just relaxing, lazing, & catching up with one another :) Good enough, I guess.
Ayam masak kicap (chicken in soya sauce...so difficult to eat such chicken with a plastic spoon), fried fish (quite dry & hard...may kill a sparrow if we throw the fish at the bird), & stir-fried mixed veggie
Eagle Feeding
Okay, I think I'm one of the silliest girls on the face of this earth to think that eagle-feeding means literally feeding the eagles. *BAH* I was initially quite excited with the idea of "eagle-feeding". When I found out that all we do is to sit in the speedboat & WATCH the eagles swoosh down into the waters & grab their food, I went into 'wergh-mode' straight away. We tried getting pics of the eagles, but it was just too difficult to do so with a compact camera *sigh* Ah well...next island...
Note: More pics will be uploaded later
Pulau Dayang Bunting
The speciality of this island is the shape itself. It resembles the shape of a pregnant lady lying down on her back. Hmm...quite interesting how people's imagination could carry them ;) This island boasts the FRESH water lake on top of the hill...yes, right in the middle of the salty sea, you'll find fresh water on an island. Pretty facinating :) Many people go there for a dip & I could say that it is very refreshing :) The hike towards the fresh water source/lake was quite a tiring one for a person like me who lacks the exercise. It's as if this is my annual dose of exercise! Ahahahaha....
After the 1-hour spent on the island, we left on the speedboat back to 'base', where our car was parked. Once again, the speedboat driver sped the boat SO fast & purposely swerve to get us splashed wet with the sea water *bah!* It was quite funny though...I had the chance to sit beside him at the back, so I didn't get as wet as the rest...watching my friends getting wet & giving those funny expressions were hilarious :P
That pretty much concluded the activities for our day-1. We left the jetty area for our hotel around 2pm...but annoyingly, our rooms weren't ready for check-in until 3:15pm, so we spent some time at the beach picking up seashells & getting ourselves wet...
Langkasuka Beach Resort, Pantai Cenang
Located along the Pantai Cenang beach, this hotel carries a 4-star rating for its facilities & comfort. Note that this hotel is different from the Langkasuka Hotel in Kuah town. It is 15-min drive from the Langkawi International Airport, which is rather convenient for those who fly into the island, but it takes at least 30-min to drive to the Kuah town *sigh*
This hotel owns a private beach, which is pretty clean, but lacks the sparkling beauty & clear-blue-waters. There isn't much on the beach anyways. Not many coconut trees at sight, not many shells, black-stuff gets washed up to the shore, & not that much shade for a relaxing outing. Nevertheless, the sand is rather fine & quite nice to walk on :)
I can't deny that their rooms are actually pretty spacious to begin with...6 of us occupied 2 rooms as there were 4 girls & 2 guys. The beds were quite comfortable & so were the pillows :) Both rooms' bathroom had a bathtub & a cubicle for shower, which was rather cool, especially after a long day on the island, & all we need is a nice, warm bath :D The only thing that kinda ticked us off was the sliding door to the balcony-- the sides were rusty & it was SOOO difficult to get it opened AND close! *bummer* Oh yes, at the place where we stayed, there was an elavator, even to the 1st floor, which I thought was very nice! At least for those who have huge luggages, they don't need to drag their luggage & themselves up to their rooms :)
This resort's swimming pool isn't inviting at all. The beach would be more inviting if I were to compare them both. I guess it's the color of the tiles of the pool. It made the pool looked brown, dirty, & just uninviting lah...hahaha...we didn't bother swimming throughout our vacation there :P
After washing up & getting enough rest, we drove out to Kuah town for dinner at Wan Thai, a place recommended by my new friend, also a foodie, Shirley. The rest of the night was spent splurging on chocolates at the Haji Ismail Group store, & shopping for liquor & ciggies (LY's friends wanted some)...it was quite a long day after all *zzzz*
This is the recommended place to buy chocolates. On the overall, it's cheaper to get it here & they have a larger selection as well. No doubts, there will be certain chocs that you can only get it at other shops, & some places may offer certain chocs cheaper by a few cents. Nevertheless, this shop's good enough to make us spend more than RM100 just on chocolates!
Day 2, 3 January 2009 (Saturday)
6:30am - Dragged ourselves out of bed
7:15am - Went downstairs to the Sunset Cafe for breakfast (which has such a small buffet variety)
8:05am - Waited at the entrance of the hotel for the bus to Coral Island (snorkeling)
9:00am - The bus finally appeared!! *grrr* It was supposed to arrive at 8:10am! (well, that was the time that Kak Rose told us to wait for the bus! *bleagh!* )
10:00am - Arrived at the Jetty Point. We felt very lost & didn't know what to do next...finally, the staff there called our names & gave us our tickets & instructions for the day.
10:30am - Went onto the ferry heading to Pulau Payar for snorkeling.
11:15am - Arrived at Pulau Payar...45min ferry ride to the island :S We were given further instructions & off we are to play! Woohoo!! We were given our snorkeling gears & a lunch box to keep us alive for the next few hours....
01:15pm - Shark feeding. Nice!
04:00pm - Left the island for the Jetty Point again
04:45pm - Went onto the bus to head back to the hotel
05:15pm - Arrived at the hotel....quite dead :S Washed up, lazed, & played a card game called Lotto...
08:15pm - Went out for dinner at Pantai Cenang itself. We headed out to search for Sun Cafe at Pantai Tengah, but was told to wait for another half an hour to be seated, so we left to do some clothes & souveniers shopping first before heading back to Sun Cafe for dinner.
10:00pm - Finally had dinner!!
11:00pm - Went back to the hotel to call it a night....*phew* Another long day this was.... :S
Pulau Payar Island
This island is located 45min ferry-ride from the mainland. It's an island rich with corals, sea creatures, & everything natural! There isn't any source of fresh water for bathing/cleaning up, & there ain't any stalls, restaurants, or source of 'civilization' as well (except for the humans who go there & the monkeys & sea creatures that live there).
The sand on the beach was soft & fine....very nice to walk on...the sea was filled with fishes (and baby sharks) plus loads of sea cucumbers!! Eeee.....quite 'geli', but we held them anyways! :D Fun! Snorkeling, although quite tough for a 1st timer like myself, was pretty fun :) I guess the nicest part was to swim among the fishes & sea creatures :)
Yes, it's still packed food :S Euww...I thought we would get like rice box or something, but nope, we got this instead...doesn't look too appetizing, eh? For the 4-5 hours in the deserted island, we were only given a piece of fried chicken (looks SO dead & not fresh :S ), 2 pieces of nuggets, 2 frankfurters, 2 pieces of tuna sandwich, & an apple. I must say that the best among them all was the apple - crunchy! ;)
When we got back to the hotel after our snorkeling trip, we got kinda hungry & Gloria brought these cup noodles to the trip. It's really cute! It's quite expensive though...S$4.50/pack of 6 mini noodles.
I've never seen these being sold on the shelves in Msia! Those animals are made of flour...like fishcakes...the noodles taste just like our normal instant noodles - chicken/curry flavour :)
Prior to dinner at Sun Cafe, we hung out at the rows of shops along Pantai Cenang. We had quite a lot of time to shop 'cos there weren't any tables available at Sun Cafe around 8:30pm when we went there. I managed to get some t-shirts for myself & the Kuantan kids! *yay*
Day 3, 4 January 2009 (Sunday)
09:00am - Finally dragged myself out of bed
09:30am - Went downstairs for breakfast
10:15am - Went back to the room to pack & laze....almost all of us ended up sleeping again...hahaha...
12:00pm - Showered & clean up the room
12:30pm - Checked out & left for Kuah town
02:30pm - Met up with Shirley for lunch at Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall...we were supposed to meet her at 1:30pm, but we got lost after going to the bank, & ended up driving to some jungle-ish place before turning back to the bank to start our journey again :S Bleagh...
03:15pm - Shopped around at the mall & said goodbye to Shirley
04:15pm - Left the mall to Eagle Square nearby (just to take photos :P )
04:45pm - Went to Kuah town to get liquor & whatever else that we haven't bought & wanted to get :D After that, we went back to the mall to buy our dinner before heading back to the airport.
06:30pm - Arrived at the Langkawi International Airport
07:15pm - Checked in
08:45pm - Boarded the Fireflyz airplane for Subang Airport
The airplane is certainly more narrow, but it's comfortable enough. I guess the part of the plane ride that thrilled us the most was the food! *lol* At least they give us free snacks...a chocolate muffin each & a cup of orange juice :) Pretty nice :P
10:00pm - Arrived at Subang Airport & went separate ways :) That concludes our whole trip!! Awesome ;)

Produced by Don Fleming and Jimmy Guthrie. Released 8-10-2010 on Haunted Lake Records.
The Reconstruction, featuring Bruce Joyner's longtime guitar-slinging foil Tom "Possum" Byars (Out Of The Fire) helping to lead the charge. Elements, featuring production and engineering work from Don Fleming (who played in a band with Joyner in the late '70s before going on to fame with Gumball and as an in-demand NYC producer) is indeed a worthy addition to the Joyner canon, a sleek though stripped-down cauldron of driving garage and hard-edged pop. Throughout, Joyner sings with a deeply-felt passion, one moment unleashing a sneer or a snarl, the next crooning romantically like a punk Sinatra. - Blurt Online

Strange how these stories come about.
Lily, our mini doxie, and I are out walking the block on a snowy day. We chance upon a plow driver pulling a foil-wrapped package out of his � say what? � engine block.
It smells so good. Lily is very intrigued.
�Man, what do you have there?�
�Lunch,� he said.
He unfolded the hot package. We stared at what looked like a medium pizza folded into a mega turnover. By now, Lil�s begging on her hind legs. Big trucks, flashing lights and hot pizzas are her obsessions. Just like me.
I figured the chap had pretty much the perfect world. Six-wheeler truck, smell of diesel and a portable feast warming on the header while he piled up snow. Life can be happy.
His pleasure zone was a calzone baked by his wife the night before. You could see love in every bite.
�She�s Italian. Her mother taught her. She made these for her husband who worked at the Republic mill. Pretty soon she had her own calzone business on the northeast side.�
It fits your fantasy of a work lunch: Easy, filling, jammed with energy food to keep you plowing for the rest of the day.
The crust keeps the sauce and melted cheese neatly inside. You don�t even need a napkin. All you need is a heat source such as a blast furnace or a Cummins diesel. Or in a pinch, eat them cold, no matter.
The classic calzone remains a crust stuffed with a smear of tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, pine nuts and pesto. I like vegetarian ones, but Lil prefers pepperoni and mushrooms. Forget the mozzarella cheese � it would run out. Ricotta is crucial; it is melt-proof. It needs some flavor help, and grated parmesan does the deed.
The crust is folded over and sealed with fork tines. If the calzone is going to work, it is prebaked and eaten cold or warmed. Punch some small holes in top to let out the steam just before microwaving or you will have a calzone bomb.
This being an Italian delicacy, there�s some controversy. The question is, does the tomato sauce go inside or as a dipping sauce on the outside? No answer here, but Ray prefers inside.
�That way you can eat and work at the same time. Don�t tell my boss.�
� 2 t (one packet) dry yeast
� 1 cup warm water
� 1 T olive oil
� 1 t white sugar
� 1 t salt
� 2 1/2 cups flour
� 1 egg, beaten, optional
� 1 t olive oil
� 2 cups ricotta cheese
� 2 T parmesan cheese, grated
� 1 cup diced pepperoni or cooked Italian sausage
� 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
� 1 t dried basil or marjoram
� 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
� 1 t olive oil
� 1 t dried basil, oregano or marjoram leaves
� Salt and pepper
Dissolve yeast in warm water, about 15 minutes. Add oil, sugar and salt. Mix in one cup of flour and beat until smooth. Gradually mix in the rest of the flour until dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about five minutes or until it is elastic. Place dough in a bowl coated with 1 teaspoon olive oil, flip over, cover and let rise for 45 minutes or until almost doubled.
While dough is rising, combine filling and refrigerate.
Punch down dough and separate into 2 parts. Roll into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each circle with half of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, securing edges by folding in and pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg (optional) and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
Makes 2 large calzones.
Note: If this is going to lunch, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the inside of the dough and add rest of fillings. If for at home, serve heated sauce as a dipper.

The EU is a unique economic and political partnership between 28 European countries that together cover much of the continent. The EU competence goes from economic policies, agriculture, trade and environment.
The main institutions of the EU are the European Council, Council of the European Union, the European Commission, The European Parliament, Court of Justice of the European Union, Court of Auditors and the European Central Bank.
One of the most important consultative institutions is the European Economic and Social Committee. Another important institution is the European Investment Bank which supports projects in the EU countries, and invests in future member and partner countries.
The European Union is regulated by the Treaty of Lisbon which entered into force on 1 December 2009. It provides the EU with modern institutions and optimised working methods to tackle both efficiently and effectively today's challenges in today's world. In a rapidly changing world, Europeans look to the EU to address issues such as globalisation, climatic and demographic changes, security and energy. The Treaty of Lisbon reinforces democracy in the EU and its capacity to promote the interests of its citizens on a day-to-day basis.

Huguely hearing: Mum on medical records, no TV in court
15 comments
First off Hook, spell the punks name correctly......I "can handle the truth".
Perhaps Ms. Quagliana should of thought of her predicament with the media before she took on such a case. Then again, the Huguely family may have made it well worth her while.If she is good enough and her client is indeed innocent, then the media exposure up to this point will have no impact on the juries findings (State of California vs. Orenthal J. Simposon).
Adderall and ADHD- Really Ms. Quagliana? Going to claim that Adderall caused her heart to stop? Is that why there "was very little blood" at the scene? Perhaps it is all over the lacrosse jersey he was wearing.
Put Mr. Huguely on the stand Ms. Quagliana, he is sure to be able to explain what happened better than you, to the satisfaction of a jury.
Have just read the DP story where a defense medical witness is arguing that it was cardiac arrest rather than blunt trauma to the head that caused Love's death. Doesn't it seem possible that blunt trauma to the head might have caused cardiac problems? Or should we believe that Love would possibly have died peacefully in her sleep that night if not attacked?
Is the defense just desperate, grasping at anything that could possibly help their client, or are they so lacking in scruples that they will try anything that might get him off?
When I think that this person who committed a brutal murder like this may get off, I get nostalgic for the days of the Old West necktie party where there were no slick,highly-paid defense lawyers around.
Yes, everyone is entitled to counsel, but why don't they just accept that he did it, and suggest he offer a guilty plea and throw himself on the mercy of the court? Not that he showed Ms Love any mercy that night in her apartment.
It's all about "reasonable doubt." If you've been on a jury before you know that introducing alternate scenarios for "what really happened" is about asking the jury to look at the situation in a different light. In this case, you can't look away from the violence that ended this young woman's life.
'...the coverage on this case was "unparalleled" and that the existence of blogs, blog commenters, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms created a "super-charged environment" of information that was often inaccurate, inflammatory, cynical, and hateful.'
Since the caveman days people have always talked and the only difference now is that there are more ways of conveying the information. That is hardly a "super-charged environment" but simply today's reality.
As far as the information being 'inaccurate, inflammatory, cynical, and hateful' one would have to wonder why an attorney would spend so much time on the information instead of building a defense for their client?
One fact that is not 'inaccurate, inflammatory, cynical, and hateful' is that a young woman is no longer alive and all roads lead to the accused. You can't blame Al Gore's Internet for that!
However if a "'super-charged environment' of information that was often inaccurate, inflammatory, cynical, and hateful." were to result in acquittal you'd deposit the check anyway. Right?
At least Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Higgins, who is former law partners with Fran Lawrence and Quagliana, is no longer involved with judicial decisions on this case.
If I were planning to do a thorough job of reporting this story, I would dig into the backroom connections, wheelings & dealings as much as I would report on the murder trial of little George Huguely and the senseless murder of Ms. Love.
You might find additional crimes being committed behind the scenes, as it were. Just do a complete job, Hook.
What happened to a jury of your peers? Hugely's are in prison. Oh, I'm sorry, innocent until proven guilty. They give me a questionnaire I'll tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine. I'm will not be the one on trial for murder.
If the jury in the trial of Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor, did not need to be sequestered, and was able to arrive at a reasonable verdict after careful deliberation despite the intense public interest and media scrutiny that surrounded it, I expect that Charlottesville can manage to see justice done in this case without taking extraordinary measures.
The picture caption "Hugely defense attorneys ......push past the press after today's hearing." Should read instead "Hugely defense attorneys....ooze past the muck rakers after today's hearing." Much more descriptive don't you all think?
It won't bring Ms. Love back to ruin this young man's and his family's lives. He knows what he did was wrong. Let's try to put this behind us as Virginians and move on.
This young man has done a pretty good job of ruining his own life. Of course he knows what he did was wrong. I'm not so sure he knows that actions have consequences, however.
Cvillain, I respectfully disagree with your suggestion that we "put this behind us as Virginians and move on".
Virginians demand justice in this case and shall not move on until that is delivered unto the perpetrator of this heinous deed. If that person is determined to be George Huguely, let God have mercy on him, not the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Really, Cvillain? I'm pretty sure this young man ruined his own life with this act of violence. It is HIS fault, and no one else's.
Just a question here, but why don't they ask for a change of venue if they think this case is so highly charged?
Huguely should have gone to see Judge Lynch within 10 minutes after he was caught.
