Beat the Streak Report: Colbert Challenge, Day 2
With Day 1 in the books, the Colbert Challenge is all square: One game for Stephen Colbert, one game for @MLB.
@MLB took an early lead last night when Ichiro Suzuki smacked a clean single up the middle off of Dan Haren to lead off the bottom of the first inning in Seattle. Minutes later, Andre Ethier evened the score with a single of his own off of Bronson Arroyo.
Ichiro ultimately finished 2-for-4, while Ethier went 1-for-4. By the total hits tiebreaker, @MLB holds the lead by the slimmest of margins heading into Day 2.

FYI. One of your favorite picks is back in the lineups starting today: Ryan Zimmerman
Another favorite pick may be out for 2-3 weeks: Derek Jeter
His replacement Ramiro Pena already in NY from AAA, but not yet activated as of this minute
And yet another one coming of the DL today: Hanley Ramirez, batting leadoff tonight
Checked our picks page & he's not listed yet, probably needs a bit of time before he's listed
Update. He can be picked now
I had him picked for a few days when he went on the DL to have a selection picked until I made my actual pick just incase I forget to make a pick in time but with him back I replaced him with Mark Teixeira. The Phillies and Marlins are also playing a Double Header tomorrow.

Request for Quotation
We have now been running our new Travaini vacuum pump for two months continuously for 24 hours, 6 days a week. While 2 months doesn't seem long to judge its performance, I would just like you to know how very please we are with it. But most of all, I thank you for the concern and your great effort to provide me with a vacuum pump when I desperately needed one. You have no competition when it comes to supply and service. Your attitude and assistance to me when I needed help is to be commended.
We installed our first Travaini pump more than two years ago…and we haven't touched it since. Travaini liquid ring vacuum pumps have outperformed the others
We have tried other pumps but have found them to be less efficient and less effective. Travaini pumps are our pump of choice because of their consistent strength with regards to performance and durability.
All seems to be running well, no problems. Replacement pump was needed, we had it in 2 days. Repaired our pump in 1 week. Fast service, fast problem solving, great customer service

Daily Devotionals
LikePreciousFaith is proud to host several excellent Christian devotionals focused on reading God's Holy Word. Devotional readings are an excellent way of growing your faith, knowledge and understanding of our God and His Word. Though you couldn't do wrong by any of these, you may want to sort through our user comments to decide which one is best to start with. For newer believers we highlly encourage either the Daily Light of the Faith of Jesus as they are more foundational reads.
The advantage to devotional reading is that you get a broader perspective of the larger contexts of the bible. You learn and retain knowledge that may not applicable at the present moment, but will be needed by a future moment. With every thing read there has to be an effort to find ways to apply the lessons into your daily life. For the more challenging reads we suggest a interpetive primer such as McGeeGuidelines or TorreyProfitableBibleStudy .
Currently we are featuring:
mFaithOfJesus This is a personal devotion and journal going through the 4 gospels in one year to seek out the faith of our Lord Jesus and keep it.
Comment Board:FaithOfJesusPlan
Devotional: Daily Light SEPTEMBER13
This is the classic AM/PM verse reading devotion widely used and appreciated by many denominations.
Comment Board:DailyLightPlan
Devotional:Plan1 September13
This is a one year read through both the old and new testaments at the same time.
Comment Board:BibleReadPlan1
Devotional:Plan2 September13
This is a one year read through the entire bible in order.
Comment Board:BibleReadPlan2
Devotional: Plan4 Day_256
This is another good one year read through the entire bible in order.
Comment Board:BibleReadPlan4
Devotional: Chronological Day_256
This is wonderful one year near chronolgical read through the entire bible.
Comment Board:ChronologicalReadPlan1
There are plenty of system resources available at click of the mouse to go along with these devotionals. That is the advantage of doing this reading on line. These tools on LikePreciousFaith are available even on your smartphone. If you are old school enough to prefer the printed word you can still print out the devotional index to keep as hard copy.
We do hope that your devotional time leads you closer to our Lord! It is well worth your effort. It is one of the first things we find lacking in lives of many of the brethren we counsel through their difficaulties.

How to Wean Your Child From the Pacifier
6 Tips For Pacifier Weaning
If you have a toddler or even a preschooler holding tight to their binky, you're not alone: pacifier weaning is a common challenge. While dental problems generally won't result from pacifier use unless the habit continues beyond age 3, many parents find that pacifier weaning is easier before a child reaches 2 years old. (If you're concerned, though, check with your pediatric dentist.) For a smooth transition, try these brilliant pacifier-weaning strategies from our readers.
1. Snip the Tip
One of the most popular pacifier-weaning tricks is cutting off the pacifier's tip. After the ability to suck is removed, many children quickly lose interest. Try telling your child that the pacifier is broken, and let her throw it away. If the initial snip doesn't do the trick, moms like Christina M., a mother of one son, suggest gradually cutting off more of the pacifier: "I tried cutting the end of the pacifier off a little bit every few days until there was nothing for him to suck on, and then he didn't really want it anymore." Just be careful that your child isn't chewing off pacifier pieces, which could be a choking hazard.
2. Swap Soothing Items
"Try replacing the pacifier with something else that can give her security," suggests Kate G. While a child may not instantly forget her pacifier, many moms found that alternative soothing items did eventually replace the pacifier. "I replaced the pacifier with a 'sleep blanket.' The first couple of nights/naps she would cry for about 10 minutes, but her blanket against her face kept her warm and happy eventually," says Angela C.
3. Gradually Reduce Use
While some moms advocate a cold-turkey approach to pacifier weaning, others like Meredith Z. find that gradually limiting pacifier usage is successful: "First, we limited pacifier usage to inside the house, then only to sleep time, then only to overnight, and then we said 'let's try bedtime without your bink just for tonight,' and after the first night, he only asked for it once, and then he was totally fine. We just made sure we stuck to our rules, and let him be comfortable at each level before restricting bink usage more."
4. Get Help From the Pacifier Fairy
Another popular pacifier-weaning tactic is to have a make-believe character reward the child for giving away their pacifiers. Sarah M., mother of two girls, shares: "Say that the Dummy Fairy will come and take them and give them to new babies that need them. Then you leave a special 'big girl' present in the basket for them when they wake up." Other moms, including Linnea F., use characters the kids already believe in: "My kids all gave theirs to the Easter Bunny for little ones who need binkies and don't have them. This would also work with Santa. We still had some withdrawal cries, but it didn't last."
5. Trade For Toys
Instead of having imaginative characters bring a child a reward, some moms advocate openly trading the pacifier for a prize. "Take her to Toys 'R' Us and let her pick out a toy in exchange for the pacifier," suggests Janice D. "It worked for me two times. You may have a few days that are a bit rough, but then it will be fine." Other moms also had their child "pay" the cashier with a pacifier for th
6. "Lose" the Pacifier
After Melissa C. misplaced her daughter's pacifier, she realized that simply pretending to lose it would be a good pacifier-weaning strategy. "Maybe if you somehow 'lose' yours and have him help you look for it and don't find it, it'll let him know that you care enough to help him, even if you can't fix it." Dawn D. says she used the same weaning tactic. "I just told her we lost it and we'd look, but then she was OK with 'we lost it' and in two weeks she forgot all about it."

Events canceled, editor expelled: Hong Kong's losing freedom
HONG KONG (AP) — The cancellation of literary and artistic events and the refusal to allow a Financial Times editor to enter Hong Kong have reignited concern about freedom of expression in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
A last-minute decision Friday to reinstate the literary event illustrates the back-and-forth over this issue.
Hong Kong was promised semi-autonomy for 50 years as part of its 1997 handover from Great Britain, allowing it to retain rights to assembly and free speech that are denied on the Chinese mainland.
The suspected kidnapping in 2015 by Chinese security forces of publishers of sometimes salacious works on the country's leaders and the prosecution of organizers of anti-Beijing protests have sparked concern about those rights.
A look at the three recent incidents and the effect they're having on freedom of speech and civil rights:
A Hong Kong arts venue has decided to allow exiled Chinese writer Ma Jian to speak at a literary festival, after canceling his appearance earlier in the week.
The event was still off when Ma arrived in Hong Kong late Friday afternoon. He speculated to reporters that an unseen "black hand" was controlling the conditions under which he could appear.
"The lecture will definitely happen," he said. "If there is a single Hong Kong person who is willing to listen, or a single reader who contacts me, I will be there."
About two hours later, the Hong Kong International Literary Festival announced that the Tai Kwun Center for Heritage and Arts had decided to allow Ma to appear after all. He was to speak Saturday evening.
"The principles of free speech and cultural expression are central to our mission as an international literary festival," a festival news release said, apologizing for the uncertainty over the past few days.
"We have reconsidered our position in light of the possibility that these events might be prevented from taking place altogether," an unnamed Tai Kwun spokesperson said in the release.
Ma, 65, is known for his novels criticizing China's ruling Communist Party. His six novels are banned in mainland China, and he has said that he has been unable to find a Chinese-language publisher in Hong Kong for his most recent work, "China Dream."
The book, which has been compared to the works of George Orwell in its scathing description of authoritarian rule, has been published in English with a cover design by dissident artist Ai Weiwei, who also lives outside China.
The Financial Times earlier quoted Tai Kwun's director Timothy Calnin as saying, "We do not want Tai Kwun to become a platform to promote the political interests of any individual."
The Financial Times said that its Asia news editor Victor Mallet had been turned away at the border on Thursday when he attempted to re-enter Hong Kong as a visitor.
That came after Mallet was forced to leave Hong Kong after the government refused to renew his work visa in apparent retaliation for his hosting a speaker at the Foreign Correspondents Club who led a now-banned political party advocating the territory's independence from China.
Hong Kong's immigration authority gave no explanation for his expulsion and on Friday responded with a statement saying it would "act in accordance with the laws and policies, and decide whether the entry will be allowed or refused after careful consideration of circumstances of each case."
Hong Kong journalist groups have submitted a letter of protest to Hong Kong's government over the expulsion, saying it boded ill for the territory's reputation as a place ruled by law where freedom of speech is protected.
Rights groups have called the visa rejection the latest sign of Beijing's expanding restrictions on the territory, including legal cases brought against pro-democracy legislators and organizers of large-scale anti-government protests in 2014.
An exhibition by the Chinese-Australian artist known as Badiucao was canceled after organizers said in a statement that threats had been "made by the Chinese authorities relating to the artist."
Hong Kong Free Press, Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders — all groups frequently critical of China's ruling Communist Party — were joint organizers of the event, titled "Gongle."
They said in a joint statement that the exhibition had been canceled over "safety concerns"
Two members of the Russian activist band Pussy Riot was also due to appear, along with Joshua Wong, secretary-general of the opposition political party Demosisto and local political artist Sampson Wong.
Badiucao's cartoons lampoon China's leaders and the surveillance society they are establishing, and his website says he "uses his art to challenge the censorship and dictatorship in China."
"He believes art and internet has the power to deconstruct the arrogance and authority of dictatorship as building block of individual awakening and free independence," his site says.
Speaking earlier to Hong Kong Free Press, Badiucao said he wouldn't be appearing at the exhibition for fear or being kidnapped or having his true identity revealed.
"I really admire artists and dissidents who are brave enough to do it openly. I see myself as a coward," the website quoted him as saying. "But I try to explain to myself that I'm just an ordinary guy, I'm not as brave as a hero. And an ordinary guy also deserves a voice."

Bernanke: 'A trillion here, a trillion there…'
Fed Chair: Unless economic conditions further deteriorate no big actions are forthcoming… Maybe.
UPDATE: As a comment below points out, Bernanke 's "a trillion here, a trillion there…" was probably a play on Republican Senator Everett Dirksen's famous line, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money." Though there is no evidence of Dirksen ever actually saying those words, some people believe he did it on the Johnny Carson Show.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told the Joint Economic Committee absolutely nothing of real value Thursday — which was more than enough to chill the market.
Takeaway: unless economic conditions further deteriorate, no big Fed actions are forthcoming. (Or, who knows, maybe they are?) "The Federal Reserve,�?� Bernanke explained, �??remains prepared to take action as needed to protect the U.S. financial system and the economy in the event that financial stresses escalate" — though he later added that the European meltdown poses "significant risks" to the U.S. recovery.
Bernanke also pointed out — probably for the benefit of all those financial journalists who think otherwise — that �??monetary policy is no panacea.�?�
The Fed chair has been bludgeoned by critics over his failure to engage in another round of quantitative easing. And on Thursday Bernanke said that the option remains on the table (as if anyone could take it off). From this, the media jumped all over the �??Bernanke hasn't ruled out QE3!�?� story. But a few qualifier-laden statements like �??at this point, I can�??t say anything is completely off the table�?� hardly constitutes a change in position. Whatever that position is.
What's somewhat surprising, though, is that while Republicans are adamant about QE3 — a big �??no�?� — Democrats seem thoroughly ambivalent on the matter. Since the "stimulus" failed to achieve its self-proclaimed goals, many on the left have been advocating for a larger injections of money into the economy. The most effective way to do this, without having to deal with that pesky mercurial democratic process, is to use the Fed.
Texas Republican Rep. Kevin Brady, for instance, said, �??I wish you would take QE3 off the table. I wish you would look the markets in the eye and say that the Fed has done too much.�?� Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) claimed that the Fed�??s stimulative efforts �??are giving us a false sense of security.�?�
To this Bernanke joked/said �??a trillion there, a trillion here�?� won�??t solve the debt crisis.
Here�??s the interaction via Daily Caller:
�??If we were to raise interest rates by a full percentage point, and ignoring the fact that most debt is of longer duration, it would not reprise, that would still only raise the annual deficit by something a little over $100 billion,�?� Bernanke said, noting that the amount is relatively small with an annual deficit of a $1 trillion.
�??That�??s real money,�?� DeMint responded.
�??Trillion there, a trillion here,�?� Bernanke responded. �??Yes, sir I agree with that. But what I�??m saying is that the situation is �?? the deficits are so large, particularly going out over the next few years, irrespective of the level of interest rates, that I would think that Congress would have plenty of motivation to try to address that and that whether or not interest rates are currently 1.5 percent for ten years or 2.5 percent for ten years doesn�??t make much difference.�?�
Bernanke also warned Congress that at some point �??there may be some diminishing returns�?� to the Fed's involvement and stressed that the debt crisis has to be fixed by Washington.

Maybe these things could be explained but I don't think it flowed well with what we know.
Hmm, what irritated me about the movie was when they were on the mountain after the famous tent scene all Bella is wearing is like a light shirt and plaid thing. Bella hates the cold and is standing on the mountain with snow all over it, I'm sure it isn't very warm up there either. Where is the marshmallow jacket I thought they had in the book??
I can't come up with anything else at the moment.
Yea but how did he even know they were on the way home. The visit was cut short because of Jacob kissing her. So it's not like she was to be home at 5 and he met her there. They were doing the exchange at the treaty line. In the book, Edward doesn't know that she is home already because she forgot her phone and she calls him to tell him to come over because Jacob kissed her. It just seemed off to me that he happened to pull up at the exact moment like he did.

As something grows old and useless, the typical response is to tear it down or throw it away.
When something falls into disrepair, the cost of restoration often leads to the same response as above. Let it continue to fall apart until it needs to be torn down or bordered up. There's more than one example of that approach on display now in Morenci.
On the other hand, an example of the very opposite approach is visible when heading north out of town. It's John and Peggy Zachel's old school house.
A building that hasn't been in use for 50 years can't be expected to show much promise, and the school house on their property didn't look like much for the past few decades. But as their son, Bob, pointed out Sunday at the unveiling of a state historical marker, John kept a good roof on the building over the years and the structural integrity remained intact.
The Zachels' decision to restore the old school building goes against the usual response. They sought no grants. They didn't push to have the school adopted by a historical group. They simply made the choice to save it and make it look "new" again. With the tireless efforts of Jack Sampson and others, the old building has been turned into a shining example of what can happen when someone cares about preserving the past and plunges into a restoration project.
The old building offers a glimpse of what life was like in a one-room school house—a form of education that ended here in the mid-1950s. Now it's been preserved for future generations, thanks to the generosity of the Zachel family.- June 28, 2006

Google has bought VirusTotal, an online scanner to detect viruses, trojans and other malware. The terms of the acquisition or the amount hasn't been revealed yet, but it isn't likely to be much. Following the acquisition, VirusTotal will be able to leverage Google's massive infrastructure to improve the quality of its service and scale up operations.
We aren't sure how exactly Google plans to integrate VirusTotal's online offering into its search feature. For now, VirusTotal has announced that it will continue to operate independently and maintain its existing partnerships.
Here's the official press release by VirusTotal:
"Our goal is simple: to help keep you safe on the web. And we've worked hard to ensure that the services we offer continually improve. But as a small, resource-constrained company, that can sometimes be challenging. So we're delighted that Google, a long-time partner, has acquired VirusTotal. This is great news for you, and bad news for malware generators, because:via VirusTotal
The quality and power of our malware research tools will keep improving, most likely faster; and
Google's infrastructure will ensure that our tools are always ready, right when you need them.
VirusTotal will continue to operate independently, maintaining our partnerships with other antivirus companies and security experts. This is an exciting step forward. Google has a long track record working to keep people safe online and we look forward to fighting the good fight together with them."

If you post the text up here, people may look at it. However, most people will not download files because of security risks.
Short it a bit and try and use bullet points in it. You don't need to tell them everything, just the things that are relevant. Let them be curious and ask other things in interview.
If you are looking for help in creating a curriculum vitae go to: http://createbestresume.blogspot.com/ . You find a free sample, best graphic resumes, video resumes, free templates resumes, trends and more informations. Check it.
First of all, you may want to begin your resume with a statement or a "profile" to give hiring managers an idea of who you are, what your skills are, and how you're hoping to use them.
(Resumes need to be targeted at the job you want to apply for. This means you may need more than one version of your resume. Your intro statement/"profile" should reflect the needs of the hiring manager, as written in their job description.)
Secondly, you don't appear to be a student or a recent graduate, so your Professional Experience section should come before your Education section.
Thirdly, get rid of your extra-curricular section.
Regarding your Professional Experience section:
Your bullet points should start off with action verbs, all of which should be in the past tense since you don't work at those establishments anymore. Also, many of your bullet points need to be more specific, and you should try to quantify (add numbers) to it as much as possible. You need your resume to be achievement oriented -- a resume should not just be a list of previous responsibilities.
For instance:
- Financial diagnosis of the organisation and suggestion of solutions
"Analyzed and diagnosed organization's financial situation and suggested solutions" would be better. Also, can you attach $ amounts to that? A quantified resume is much stronger than a general one.
- Creation of new work method in the Eco-tourism branch
"Created a new work method in the eco-tourism branch" would be better. I don't work in eco-tourism, so I don't know if this bullet point would make sense to someone who does work in the industry. It doesn't make sense to me, though. What kind of new work method? What was the point, to increase efficiency? If it was to increase efficiency, did you measure how much you increased efficiency by?
- Reorganisation of the differents branches
- Setting up partnerships
"Reorganized the different branches" would be better. And again, to what end? For what purpose?
"Set up partnerships" would be better. But you should be more specific -- set up partnerships with who? What was the benefit?
You've got to tell the hiring manager these things so that they know what impact you had on an organization.
- Reservation monitoring (Hotello) and the distribution channels (Booking.com, Softbooker, Hostelworld)
- Update the websites (web 2,0, Content Management System, Social Media)
"Monitored reservations (Hotello) and the distribution channels (Booking.com, Softbooker, Hostelworld)"
"Maintained and updated company websites (Web 2.0, Content Management Sytem (CMS), Social Media"
I put (CMS) in abbreviated form because some companies will use Applicant Tracking Systems to look at your resume, and additional keywords can help you get past the resume software that filters out irrelevant candidates.
Do you see how I've changed the phrasing of your bullet points? You should continue on and do the same through the rest of your resume. Find areas where you can be more specific.
Finally, put your computer skills at the end of your resume.
Best of luck finding your job. If you want to post your revised version here, I can look over it again later.

This is the Baschet Cristal as used by Film Composer Cliff Martinez, its not a synth but certainly up there as a contender
Julio, if you like the sound of the Baschet crystal, you should also check out some of Robert Rutman's music (under his own name and under his group name, "Steel Cello Ensemble"). Rutman's steel sound sculptures have also been featured on some of the late Klaus Wiese's releases.Forrest
I'd love to spend a day playing around in Harry Bertoia's barn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtZ3qmGBWEM
Julio, my favorite Rutman CD is probably his collaboration with Carsten Tiedemann of Mo Boma under the project name "Spacebow," called Big Waves. His Steel Cello Ensemble's Zuuhh!! Muttie Mum!! CD isn't bad, either. I first heard him on an LP called "Bitter Suites," which I don't think has been reissued on CD.Hdbrell, forgot all about Harry Bertoia. He is probably better known for his Bertoia chairs, but I love his music, too. I have his "Unfolding" and "Sounds" CDs, which are reissues of earlier LPs. Who needs a great synth if you have a great acoustic sound source? The Bertoia pieces remind me a bit of albums using the wind harp, but are much more complex and almost orchestral. I've corresponded with his son Val, who seems like a nice guy.Forrest
I thought the Bachlet was great ... but that barn full of sound is totally remarkable !!!

(The Root) — What a difference some Thanksgiving turkey and time off can make. Apparently the downtime worked wonders on the moods of certain members of Congress, namely Sen. John McCain. Just weeks ago the man said of United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, "I will do everything in my power to block her from being the United States Secretary of State," in response to her comments regarding the attack in Benghazi, Libya. By Sunday, McCain had this to say: "Sure, she can give everyone the benefit of explaining their position, and the actions they took. I'll be glad to have the opportunity to discuss these issues with her."
Late Monday, another development emerged. The senator agreed to meet privately with Rice.
McCain's position, which a plethora of media outlets described as having "softened," can be credited to a number of factors. First, the vehemence with which the senator challenged Rice's qualifications strained credibility at best and was downright laughable at worst. The man who introduced Sarah Palin on the global stage labeled the ambassador "not qualified." As a result, he and other members of the GOP were accused of using coded racial language to target her.
Additionally, the same passion that the senator has used to lambaste Rice for potentially misleading statements came across as sounding awfully familiar. It was reminiscent of the passion he used to defend Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for misleading statements in the lead-up to the war in Iraq. As these contradictions mounted, so did the perception that the senator was being motivated by more than just ideological differences with Susan Rice. According to sources, the animus between them is personal.
Should Susan Rice become secretary of state, she may have another high-ranking elected official besides President Obama to thank: With McCain's overzealous attacks on her inspiring cries of racism, sexism and good old partisanship, he has managed to unite progressives behind the president for Election 2012, the Sequel: the Battle for Rice.
But a secretary of state title may not be the biggest prize Rice ends up thanking McCain for. That title might just turn out to be "madam president." The Huffington Post recently compiled a list of likely female presidential contenders. Only three black women were on the list: first lady Michelle Obama, who certainly has the credentials and favorability ratings to follow former first lady Hillary Clinton into a career in politics; Condi Rice (no relation to the ambassador); and Kamala Harris, a Democratic attorney general from California who is part African American and part Indian American.
The dearth of women of color on the 20-person list (there were only five) highlights the challenge of electing them to state and federal office. The challenge of electing one to the presidency is even more daunting. But if anyone could break that ceiling, it's Susan Rice.
In many ways, Rice would seem to be a dream candidate. Having attended Stanford University, she became a Truman scholar and earned a Rhodes scholarship. Contrary to Sen. McCain's initial comments, if Rice's potential presidential hopes have any drawback, it may be that she's actually too qualified for some Americans. She holds a Ph.D. — only one American president, Woodrow Wilson, has held one to date.
A mentee of the first female secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, Rice became an assistant secretary of state for African affairs in the Clinton administration and served a stint on the National Security Council staff — all by age 33. Despite the controversy her potential secretary of state nomination has triggered, she was unanimously confirmed by the Senate to occupy her current post as U.N. ambassador.
In addition to a high-achieving academic pedigree, Rice has something else in common with President Obama: a family that reflects the diversity of America. She's the daughter of noted African-American economist Emmett Rice, a former governor of the Federal Reserve. And her husband is white and Canadian. They are the parents of two children. One thing Rice does not have in common with President Obama, however, is that in terms of foreign policy experience, she is actually far more qualified to be president than he was when he was elected in 2008.
Upon her father's death, Rice said of him: "He believed segregation had constrained him from being all he could be. The psychological hangover of that took him decades to overcome. His most fervent wish was that we not have that psychological baggage."
It is clear from the endurance that she has displayed while under siege in recent weeks that Rice is mentally tough. Now she appears poised to reach the stepping-stone of secretary of state that many believe may lead Hillary Clinton to a race for the White House. It's virtually impossible not to speculate that someday Rice might follow suit. If she does, she could fulfill her father's unrealized dream and see a Rice become all she can be: president.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A Washington food advocacy groups questions Coca-Cola's TV ad suggesting Olympic skier Ted Ligety's success is due to his consumption of it soft drink.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest said Ligety joined Michelle Kwan, Drew Brees, Shaquille O'Neal, and a long list of athletes and entertainers who have decided to supplement their incomes by promoting illness among their fans.
The CSPI is asking the President's Council on Fitness, Nutrition, and Sports whether former Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan's membership on the prestigious public health panel is compatible with her job as brand ambassador for Coca-Cola at the Sochi winter games.
"Appointed to the Council by President Barack Obama in 2010, Kwan's hiring was announced by Coca-Cola in the summer of 2013 as one of its 'Four-Pack' of 'Active Living Ambassadors' for the Olympics," the center said in a statement. "CSPI says the dual roles for the five-time world champion skater cannot be reconciled, since Coca-Cola and the President's Council communicate opposing messages when it comes to sugar drinks."
The President's Council advises: "Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Cut calories by drinking water or unsweetened beverages. Soda, energy drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in American diets."
Jim O'Hara, director of health promotion policy at the CSPI said Kwan is pictured on the Coca-Cola website holding a bottle of non-diet Coke. The skater and the soda are "two of the most refreshing things on ice," the company says.
"The President's Council is one of the premier platforms the federal government has for promoting its official advice on nutrition," O'Hara said in a statement. "Therefore the council has an obligation to protect the integrity of its public health messages. Allowing makers of sugar drinks or junk foods to rent Michelle Kwan or other Council members is unacceptable."
The CSPI wrote to the council seeking its guidelines after being told Kwan and other council members adhere to "stringent federal laws pertaining to conflict of interest and other ethics regulations."
CSPI found of nine athletes on the President's Council, at least five are current or former endorsers of sugar drinks, O'Hara said.

Seriously Italian: Onion and Rosemary confettura Recipe
"In the midst of so many other big flavors, rosemary's tendency to overwhelm is muted to a pleasant back note."
This past weekend I was given my annual windfall of lush, deep-green rosemary from my cousin Armand's herb garden. Not a mere handful of sprigs—I'm talking about an entire paper bag of the stuff. I dry some of the load for the winter, but my heart always tells me to use as much as possible while it is fresh and loaded with essential oil.
Rosemary's flavor is strongest in the summer, and that strength means that you either have to use it sparingly or match it with equally strong players that can march alongside its assertiveness. A perfect example is this sweet and sour onion jam, or confettura. Slow, careful reduction capitalizes on the natural sweetness of onions, and being jacked up with balsamic vinegar and honey provide the perfect vehicle for rosemary to release its full, resin-y qualities. There's something liberating about grabbing an otherwise scary amount of this herb and tossing it into a pot with wild abandon. In the midst of so many other big flavors, rosemary's tendency to overwhelm is muted to a pleasant back note.
Exercise your freedom with the onions, too. The confettura works wonderfully with white, yellow, and red onions, or a mix of all three. Either way, it's a bargain; onions are still relatively cheap, and the full recipe below yields about three cups of confettura. I pack it into canning jars, leaving me one to store in the pantry, one to keep in the refrigerator, and give one as a gift.
Three jars provide so many truly delicious options. I love to toast some bread rounds, spread them with fresh ricotta and add a generous layer of the confettura, a perfect late afternoon snack to have with apertivi. It is heavenly on a steak sandwich or with any other grilled or roasted meat. Bake it onto pizza or foccacia dough with some olive oil and fresh black pepper, or toss it in pasta—try it with rigatoni, roasted cauliflower, and a grating of grana padano or ricotta salata.
After you've sliced the mountain of onions, don't forget to use Julia Child's trick for getting the onion smell off your hands, knife, bowls and board: give them a good scrub with kosher salt and rinse with cool water. It works every time.
- 3 pounds peeled and trimmed onions (yellow, white, red, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 ounce fresh rosemary, or about 6 long, full branches*
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 to 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sugar
Cut the onions in half and slice them thinly crosswise; you should have about 10 heaping cups of onions.
Heat the oil in a heavy 5 or 6-quart stock pot with a tight-fitting lid and add the onions, turning them over repeatedly in the oil to coat them. Add the rosemary and bay leaves, burying them in the onions. Season the onions with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper, and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook the onions for 15 to 20 minutes, until they have softened and released their liquid, and the rosemary has wilted.
Remove the lid and add the vinegars, wine, honey, and sugar, stirring well. Season the mixture with 1 more teaspoon of salt and a few more grinds of black pepper. Maintain the heat at a steady simmer and continue to cook the onions for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, stirring the mixture often with a wooden spoon.
When the liquid has reduced by about half, pick out and remove the rosemary stems and bay leaves and continue cooking for another 15 minutes. Taste the confettura and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
As the liquid continues to reduce, you must be careful to keep stirring to prevent the confettura from scorching. Continue cooking the mixture until it is soft, sticky, and moves from the bottom of the pan as you stir Be careful not to let it caramelize.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then spoon it carefully into clean jars and keep the confettura refrigerated for up to two months.

Dear James,

Roast turkey ballottine - breast meat and leg meat - to see how this was made click here. Sadly, after the sudden death of Bob Buckingham in November, his wife, Elizabeth, was understandably under severe pressure this Christmas at the Smallholding in Chadbury, so our tukey came instead from Ann & Micky Meadows at Home Farm on Bredon Hill, whose family has been rearing turkeys for over 50 years.
Chilled, the fat from the stock can be removed
