Comments On Jun 23, 2014:The stock lever lasted 2 years. The Tusk lever lasted 2 minutes. I couldn't believe that a little slide out snapped it off all the way at the base, so there was nothing at all left to get me back to the truck. Lame. Stick with OEM or Motion Pro. You get what you pay for.

May 18, 2013 — This week, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering the legal limit of blood alcohol content for drivers to .05 or even lower.

Nov 3, 2012 — The 70-foot spruce has left its home in White River National Forest and is heading by truck to Washington, D.C. Along the way, it will stop in 10 states. One of the drivers, Gerald Morris, is looking forward to the trip: "It's a great thing to be involved in such a project."
Aug 28, 2012 — Miami may bring to mind images of the sea and palm trees, but according to park advocates, it also suffers from a lack of green space. That can make it difficult for downtown residents to find places to enjoy the outdoors. Advocates are trying to remedy that — in the face of ongoing downtown development.

Shaw offers a rich and thought-provoking exploration of art, creativity, and faith. Believing that art emanates from God, she shows how imagination and spirituality "work in tandem, each feeding on and nourishing the other." Faith informs art and art enhances faith. They both, for each other, are "breath for the bones."
Provocative, enlightening, and above all, inspiring, Breath for the Bones will help you discover the artist within, and bring you further along the path to God Himself.

Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist at the City University of New York. He appeared for a segment last week on CBS This Morning to discuss the question of global climate change in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, which bashed parts of Manhattan, the Jersey Shore and other regions of the country hard on Monday and Tuesday.
Are you a believer? What do you think about the question of whether mankind is having an effect on the global climate? Does the fact that a giant hurricane, Irene, and another one combined with two other weather systems, Sandy, pounded the northeast in just 14 months?
Kaku's basic premise was this: Get used to so-called "100-year storms" and "100-year floods" happening more often. Because the trends that track energy (heat) in the atmosphere, the energy that causes the the kind of weather we saw on the east coast last week—well, those trends are only rising, not falling.
I'm simplifying his point of view. Click the links and hear more.
Beyond that, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg made headlines in the midst of the recovery efforts last week when he—a former Republican who now calls himself an independent—endorsed Democrat President Barack Obama.
In a Reuters news report published on the Chicago Tribune last week, Bloomberg expressed his view that Obama has taken steps to reduce carbon consumption and GOP challenger Mitt Romney has not.
"Our climate is changing," said the article, quote Bloomberg's views written in an opinion article for Bloomberg View. "And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be - given this week's devastation - should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action."
Kaku told CBS This Morning host Charlie Rose that he was not always a proponent of the idea of global climate change, but he's been persuaded—along with the overwhelming majority of what he referred to as "credible scientists."
What do you think? Should we be taking global climate change seriously? Do the horrible storms, not to mention wicked tornodoes of the recent season, affect your views? Should politicians be taking the issue seriously?

Step right up, get your free Hanukkah music. But you have to act fast.
For the next couple of days, you can download "Lights: Vol. 2: A Hanukkah Music Sampler" from Amazon free. This disc, pictured at left, features Craig Taubman & Friends and includes music from the rich troves of Milken Archive of Jewish Music . It has been getting rave reviews from Amazon reviewers.
"Over the decades I've bought a few music CDs with holiday themes, and have been mostly disappointed," writes one. "This album has an incredible mix of some of the most beautiful songs yet indie rock or rock and roll, better than most of the so-called rock and roll holiday albums I've bought! For free. I might even listen to this year round."
"For free." Did we hear the words "for free"?

Cody Clark's three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth lifted the Storm Chasers to a 10-7 win over Oklahoma City Sunday afternoon at Werner Park.
Scott Moore homered in the first to give the RedHawks a 1-0 lead. Omaha held leads of 2-1, 4-3 (on Clint Robinson's two-run blast in the third), 7-4 and 7-5 before the RedHawks tied it in the ninth on Justin Ruggiano's two-run homer.
In the home ninth, Jason Bourgeois singled, but Derrick Robinson popped out to catcher Carlos Corporan trying to bunt and Johnny Giavotella was called out on strikes.
Bourgeois stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Corporan. Juan Abreu (0-2) intentionally walked Clint Robinson to get to Clark, who sent it over the right field fence for the Storm Chasers' second-straight walk-off win.
Roman Colon (2-0) got the win.

[JURIST] US District Court Judge Louise Wood Flanagan of the Eastern District of North Carolina Thursday sentenced two former Blackwater USA [corporate website; JURIST news archive] employees to three years probation for possession of stolen firearms in exchange for their continued cooperation with a Justice Department investigation into whether the private security firm was smuggling weapons into Iraq. In addition to probation, Kenneth Wayne Cashwell and William Ellsworth "Max" Grumiaux were each fined $1,000 and expected to testify in other Blackwater cases. Information regarding the two men's involvement in the investigation was introduced in private during sentencing. Both men had faced up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine as a result of the weapons charges. Cashwell also pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting in the sale of the firearms and was sentenced to three months house arrest. AP has more. The New Bern Sun Journal has local coverage.Blackwater faced intense scrutiny following a September 16, 2007 incident in West Baghdad that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead. In November, a US grand jury opened an investigation [JURIST reports] into Blackwater employees involved in the incident after an FBI investigation labeled the shootings unjustified [JURIST report]. In October 2007, the New York-based Center for Constitutional rights filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] against Blackwater on behalf of an injured survivor and the families of three men killed during the incident. The complaint alleged that Blackwater violated US law and should be liable for assault and battery, wrongful death, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
[JURIST] A US district judge ruled [opinion, PDF; ACLU press release] Thursday that the US cannot deport an Egyptian Christian who fled to the United States in 1998 to reportedly escape religious persecution because of the risk that he may face torture in Egypt [JURIST news archive]. US District Judge Thomas Vanaskie of the Middle District of Pennsylvania rejected government arguments that it had received diplomatic assurances from Egypt that it would not torture Sameh Khouzam [ACLU materials; advocacy website], finding that the government had ignored any outside review of the reliability of Egypt's assurances. The government immediately appealed and was granted a five-day stay; a federal appeals court will now hear the case. Reuters has more.American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyers representing Khouzam had argued [press release; JURIST report] that the US government was not honoring its obligations under the UN Convention Against Torture [text] by relying on assurances from the Egyptian government that Khouzam will not be tortured if he is returned to authorities in Egypt [JURIST news archive]. Khouzam originally came to the United States seeking asylum, but was detained by US authorities based on claims by Egyptian authorities that he is a murder suspect in his home country. Khouzam's case marks the first time a US court has addressed whether the government can lawfully rely on assurances from foreign governments to deport detainees to countries with a record of engaging in torture.
[JURIST] Bosnian authorities Thursday confiscated the travel documents of the wife, son, daughter and son-in-law of at-large war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] after High Representative and European Union Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Miroslav Lajcak [official profile] ordered their seizure [official order] Wednesday at the instance of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website]. The Office of the High Representative said [press release] that the family members are the subject of "ongoing criminal investigations for their role in the support network of Radovan Karadzic. Also on Thursday, the central cabinet in Bosnia froze the assets of four remaining fugitives from the ICTY: Karadzic, his military chief Ratko Mladic [BBC profile], Stojan Zupljanin [PBS profile], and Goran Hadzic [PBS profile]. Former ICTY chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte [BBC profile] repeatedly called on [JURIST report] Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to renew their efforts to capture Karadzic and other war crimes fugitives before stepping down late last year. Karadzic is suspected of helping orchestrate the genocide of nearly 8,000 people in Srebrenica [JURIST news archive] in the 1990s. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Italy Thursday requested the extradition of 139 South Americans accused of kidnapping and murdering 25 Italian dissidents during Argentina's Dirty War [GlobalSecurity backgrounder; JURIST news archive] in the 1970s and 80s. The suspects, including former Argentinian dictator Jorge Videla [TrialWatch profile], former Uruguayan dictator Juan Bordaberry [Wikipedia profile] and others involved in military dictatorships in Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, were identified by an Italian investigation into the incidents that began in 1998 and was spearheaded by prosecutor Giancarlo Capaldo. The charges stem from a campaign known as Operation Condor [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive] in which several South American military dictatorships worked together to eliminate rebels and left-wing dissidents, resulting in the deaths and disappearances of thousands. Capaldo said that trials against the suspects could move forward even without the extraditions as Italian law permits prosecutions in absentia [JURIST news archive].In March, a court in Rome convicted five former officers of the Argentinian military in absentia on charges of torturing, kidnapping and murdering three Italian citizens during Dirty War operations, sentencing them to life imprisonment [JURIST report]. The investigation has resulted in only one arrest, however, that of Uruguayan naval intelligence officer Nestor Jorge Fernandez Troccoli [JURIST report] last month. Troccoli is likely to be charged in the disappearance of six Italian dissidents. AP has more.
[JURIST] A court in Bangladesh Thursday sentenced former state minister for communications Salahuddin Ahmed to seven years in prison on corruption charges. Ahbed was arrested in February 2007 and found guilty of accepting a bribe for a business contract. The arrest comes one day after Tarique Rahman [party profile, in Bengali], the elder son of former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia [UN profile] who also faces corruption charges [JURIST report], said that he was tortured during questioning in police custody.The current interim government in Bangladesh has arrested over 150 high-profile citizens since the military-backed government declared a state of emergency [JURIST report; AHRC backgrounder] in January 2007 over concerns that fraud would mar scheduled national elections. Zia has been charged with corruption [JURIST report], and her rival, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed [party profile] has been charged by Bangladesh's anti-corruption commission [governing statute, PDF] with six counts of murder, corruption, and most recently, bribery [JURIST reports]. Hasina went on trial [JURIST report] in December 2007 on one of two charges [Reuters report] that she extorted around $1.16 million from two businessmen. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Prosecutors in the Georgian Republic [JURIST news archive] charged media and financial tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili [Reuters backgrounder] Thursday with conspiracy to overthrow the Georgian government. Patarkatsishvili allegedly offered a $100 million bribe to a senior police official if he would help him overthrow the government and kidnap the Georgian interior minister. Patarkatsishvili denied the charges and remains in self-imposed exile in Britain and Israel. In November 2007, police shut down the independent television station Imedi [media website, in English], which was co-owned by Patarkatsishvili and had aired opposition statements and showed footage of police violence during anti-government protests [JURIST report].Patarkatsishvili was a political rival [VOA report] of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili [official website] in the January 5 elections in which Saakashvili won re-election with a landslide victory. In November 2007, Saakashvili ended a national state of emergency [JURIST report] which banned demonstrations and public calls for violence or government overthrow. Saakashvili has blamed [speech] Russian spy agencies for instigating protests in the capital city of Tbilisi, though the Russian Foreign Ministry has dismissed those claims [statement]. In August 2007, a Georgian court sentenced 12 opposition activists [JURIST report] to prison terms of up to eight-and-a-half years for participating in a coup plot that Saakashvili alleged was backed by Russia. Saakashvili has allied himself closely with the US and NATO since taking office in 2004, and Georgian authorities alleged that the convicted opposition activists had been supported by the Russian security services. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] The conviction of US Army Lt. Col. Steven L. Jordan [CBS profile; JURIST news archive], the only commissioned officer charged in connection to the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal [JURIST news archive], has been annulled, his lawyer said Thursday. As convening authority in the case, Maj. Gen. Richard J. Rowe on Tuesday "disapproved" Jordan's August 2007 conviction [JURIST report] by a military jury on charges that he disobeyed an order not to discuss the investigation into abuse allegations at Abu Ghraib; the same jury acquitted Jordan of charges that he failed to control soldiers under his command who abused detainees. The military jury followed the prosecution's recommendation of a reprimand [JURIST report] and found that Jordan should not be sentenced to prison. Under the military courts-martial system [CRS backgrounder, PDF] the convening authority reviews the jury's actions and has the option of modifying the jury's findings. AP has more.Prosecutors initially charged [JURIST report] Jordan with seven violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice [text] but dropped two charges [JURIST report] after new evidence came to light that Jordan provided statements to an official investigating the Iraqi prison abuse allegations without being properly read his rights, making his statements inadmissible. In his 2004 report [PDF text; JURIST report], Maj. Gen. George R. Fay recommended that Jordan and his superior Col. Thomas Pappas be punished for their roles in the abuse scandal. Pappas was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony against Jordan. Pappas testified during Jordan's Article 32 hearing [JURIST report] that Jordan was concerned that he did not have the proper training or experience to assume his role running the Joint Interrogation and Debriefing Center [GlobalSecurity backgrounder] at Abu Ghraib.
[JURIST] The state of New York Thursday began a probe into alleged antitrust violations by computer chip giant Intel [corporate website] for possible anticompetitive practices directed at rival chip maker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) [corporate website]. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced the investigation [press release] into possible breaches of both state and federal law, saying that his office has requested documents and information regarding an improper use of Intel's monopoly power to push AMD out of the market.In October 2007, the US Federal Trade Commission said it would not open a formal investigation [JURIST report] into allegations that Intel offered unfair discounts to eliminate competition from AMD. In August 2007, American Antitrust Institute [advocacy website] President Albert Foer wrote a letter [PDF text] to the FTC urging such an investigation. The letter came after the European Commission [official website] filed formal charges [Business Wire report] against Intel in July for violating European Union competition laws. Similar probes have been conducted by the Korean Fair Trade Commission and the Japan Fair Trade Commission [official websites]. Intel has insisted that it merely engaged in "pro-competition" which was "ultimately beneficial to consumers." Intel could face fines in both Europe and Korea for engaging in anti-competitive behavior. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The Chicago City Council signed off Wednesday on a $19.8 million agreement to settle torture allegations by four former death row inmates against the Chicago police [official website]. Labeling the allegations a "black eye," city officials said that they hoped a settlement will help to mend relations between the community and the police, who allegedly committed acts of torture under the tenure of Lt. Jon Burge in the 1970s and 80s.The city's Law Department said in December that it planned to settle the cases [JURIST report]. The four death row inmates were pardoned in 2003 by then-Illinois Governor George Ryan [JURIST news archive]. An investigation into Chicago police torture began in 2002, when the chief criminal judge of Cook County appointed the two special prosecutors to investigate 64 reports of torture and cover-ups. In May 2006, the same judge ordered the public release of the report [JURIST report ], holding that the privacy rights of the accused officers were outweighed by the public's need to know. In 2005, several human rights groups, including the MacArthur Justice Center, asked [JURIST report] the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights [official website] to investigate the allegations. AP has more. The Chicago Tribune has local coverage.
[JURIST] A federal judge in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri held Tuesday that the distribution of Bibles at elementary schools by religious organizations is unconstitutional [opinion, PDF] in violation of the First Amendment [text], ruling that a permanent injunction against the practice will be ordered on final judgment after related counts are resolved. A preliminary injunction [opinion, PDF] against the South Iron R-1 School District [official website] practice of allowing Gideons International [advocacy website] to hand out Bibles in fifth-grade classrooms was upheld [opinion, PDF] by the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in August, after which the school district changed its policy to only allow Gideons to hand out religious materials during lunch or before or after the school day. Judge Catherine Perry held that both Bible distribution schemes amounted to an endorsement of religion, writing:
The undisputed evidence shows that both the old practice and the new policy were undertaken for the purpose of promoting Christianity and they have the effect of endorsing religion to impressionable elementary school students. The school policies violate the Establishment Clause [of the First Amendment].
[JURIST] The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [official website] is preparing over 100 court cases against landowners along the US-Mexico border who have refused to allow construction of a 670-mile border fence on their properties, DHS officials said Wednesday. DHS sent 135 letters to hold-out property owners [AP report] last month threatening court action if they did not comply, but only 33 landowners complied within the 30-day time period set forth in the letter. DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff said [remarks] last month that the government would not wait much longer for property owners to comply with the government requests to use their land. The government may not need to use all of the properties in question for the construction of the border fence and will consider alternative security protections such as lighting and more Border Patrol agents along the border, but is in the process of determining which properties it will need to purchase or seize through the power of eminent domain [JURIST news archive]. AP has more.President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 [PDF text; JURIST report] in October 2006. The legislation authorizes the construction of approximately 700 miles of fencing along the 2,000-mile US-Mexican border. Critics of the fence include locals in border communities, who feel that the the federal government has not addressed their concerns that a border fence would interfere with irrigation, harm wildlife, as well as disrupt Mexican consumers and investors that positively contribute to the local economy. In May, the International Boundary and Water Commission [official website] said that construction of the fence could violate a boundary treaty [JURIST report] between the United States and Mexico.
[JURIST] The Constitutional Court of Korea [official website, in Korean] on Thursday approved a special investigation of South Korean President-elect Lee Myung-bak [official website] over fraud allegations [AFP report] relating to stock price-rigging by a former business partner. Lee, who takes office on February 25, is now subject to a 40-day investigation set to begin next week. The conservative former Seoul mayor has denied the allegations, but promised to resign from the presidency if the investigation reveals any wrongdoing. The court, ruling on a petition filed last month by Lee's relatives and former business partners to halt the investigation, found that only one clause in the law authorizing the probe violated the South Korean Constitution [text]. The court explained that if investigators did not invoke that particular clause, which allowed investigators to arrest witnesses without a warrant, then the investigation could continue.South Korea [JURIST news archive] grants immunity to sitting presidents for all criminal lawsuits outside of very serious crimes. It is unlikely that Lee would be convicted and exhaust all appeals before he takes office next month and receives a grant of immunity for the fraud allegations. Lee won a landslide victory [BBC report] in South Korea's presidential election last month, despite the fraud claims. AP has more. The Korea Times has local coverage.
[JURIST] Jose Rodriguez, the former head of the US CIA's clandestine branch who ordered the destruction of videotapes showing the interrogation of terror suspects [JURIST news archive], has told Congress that he will not testify about the videotapes without a grant of immunity, a lawyer for Rodriguez said Wednesday. The US House Select Committee on Intelligence last month subpoenaed Rodriguez [JURIST report] to testify at a closed hearing scheduled for next week. The US Justice Department said last week that it has opened a criminal investigation [JURIST report] into the destruction of the tapes, prompting Rodriguez's request for immunity. Existence of the videotapes was verified in November after the CIA admitted it had mistakenly denied [JURIST report] that it had recorded interrogations in a court declaration during the trial of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. CIA Director Michael Hayden acknowledged [statement text] last month that the CIA had videotaped the interrogation of two al Qaeda suspects in 2002, but said that the tapes had been destroyed in 2005 amid concerns that they could be leaked to the public and compromise the identities of the interrogators. In addition to the DOJ investigation, multiple congressional inquiries have been launched into the tapes' destruction, including the House intelligence panel's investigation. Earlier this week, a federal judge refused to order a judicial inquiry into the videotapes [JURIST report], concluding that there was no evidence that the Bush administration violated a June 2005 order that the administration preserve all evidence relating to alleged torture at Guantanamo Bay.

Brian Laurens, the candidate for the House District 21 special election who earlier this year was accused of trying to use political connections to get out of a traffic ticket, is in hot water again.
The latest allegations against the political consultant show that Laurens has been mailing out campaign literature which claims he has been endorsed by Georgia Conservatives in Action (GCIA).
However, GCIA denies endorsing Laurens, and, according to Georgia Pundit's Todd Rehm, have a "history of not endorsing as an organization."
Mike Hassinger of Peach Pundit got in touch with GCIA co-founder Pat Tippett, who said, "We did not endorse [Laurens]. He sent that out on his own."
GCIA has asked Laurens to retract his claim.

If you're going out of town for the Labor Day weekend, you'll have lots of company. AAA is projecting 34.1 million Americans will be traveling at least 50 miles from home, a 4.2 percent increase from last year. Nearly 1.4 million Ohioans will also be traveling, up 3.3 percent.
"This is the highest number that we've seen for Labor Day travel since the decline during the recession," said Cheryl Parker, AAA Corporate Public Affairs Manager. "It appears the improving economy is helping to get more people feeling more comfortable about taking a road trip for this holiday weekend."
AAA is predicting the national average price of gasoline for Labor Day this year will be the highest ever for the holiday. Spokeswoman Cheryl Parker says we're looking at a high for local gas prices as well:
"The highest for us locally was$3.75 last year on Labor Day; and, as you can see, we're already at the average of $3.93. So it's already the highest that we're seeing pretty much across the country."
Other average prices from the Cincinnati AAA office: Ohio, $3.90; Kentucky, $3.87; and Covington, $3.96.

Original recipe yields 1 - 10 inch springform pan
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10 inch springform pan with spray oil. Note: You could use a 9x13 inch pan instead.
- To make the crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Spread to the edges of the pan. Prick all over with a fork, then bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow to cool.
- Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 5 eggs and the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend.
- Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Reduce temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue to bake for one hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the center.
- Chill overnight. This is imperative! If desired, top with your favorite fruit or serve plain.

Even though my first attempt was a flop, I still give this a five for taste. I am not an experienced cheesecake maker, but I looked up some tips and I will make this again today. Here's what I learned: 1)Cream the cheese before adding all your other ingredents. This gets all the lumps out without adding too much air. Eggs are what traps the air. 2) Checking for doneness: One article I read said it should look shiney on top. I did not want to prick with a toothpick and risk cracking the top, so I followed the instructions given here and it was a runny mess. 3)I added 1 tsp of vanilla and subsituted sour cream for whipping cream and it taste great. I like the tang the saour cream gives it. 4) Grease your entire pan that way it will pull away from the pan as it cools avoid cracks. I also notice the edges were nicer when it pulled away on its own. The parts where I had to run my knife around the edge looked jagged and crumbly (cold be due to being undercooked - I dunno). 5) I followed the advice of another reviewer and only spread the shortbread on the bottom, however, I found it to be too thick. Tastey, but it was like try to swallow a spoonful of peanut butter. Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to try and save any first time cheesecake makers (like myself) frustration on some of these novice mistakes.
For many years, I have been in charge of baking the dessert for various family celebrations. After baking dozens of cheesecakes, I have found that this cheesecake recipe was HANDS DOWN the most superior plain cheesecake recipe. The taste and texture were phenomenal--absolute perfection. I like a slightly dense cheesecake and this was truly was--like one you would find in a New York deli. The shortbread crust was so delicious and blended perfectly with the cake. I believe the temperatures and baking times (as well as the hour cooling time in the oven after baking is complete), were one of the reasons this cake comes out so beautifully textured and decadent. Most of my previous cheesecakes cracked. No cracks in this one. It looked gorgeous. I've unsuccessfully tried water baths in the past. I also believe that water baths add moisture to the cheesecake which negatively affects the density/testure. So, from now on, I will never use a water bath and I will adjust baking times to allow for that one hour oven cooling time. I got rave reviews...Several people insisted that this cheesecake HAD to be from a high-end catalogue. Thanks to Sandy for posting this great cheesecake recipe.
This recipe is phenomenal! I recently moved from USA to Finland, where my husband is from, and since living here I have had unconsolable cravings for foods from home that just aren't available here. Cheesecake was one of these undeniable yearnings. I asked my hubby if he knew what it was, and he didn't, nor could I find cream cheese at any of the stores. I was devasted and figured I would have to add cheesecake, my most favorite food, to the now ever-lengthening list of foods I can no longer make for lack of ingredients. But, as it turns out I was finally able to find cream cheese - yummy Philadelphia, actually - and the first thing I did was try this recipe. I didn't change a thing and it was absolutely perfect. I have made this twice in the past 2 weeks, much to the joy of my husband and his family who are now absolute cheesecake addicts! The famiy is so taken with this recipe and "new" dessert. I'll never try another again! This great recipe has already become a new family tradition for us! Also, I really think the shortbread crust was dynamite. So many cheesecake recipes call for crushed graham crackers, which I've always used, and those aren't available here in Finland, either, so having the chance to make a tasty crust from scratch with ingredients I had on hand was just awesome. In fact, the crust was the reason I chose this recipe in the first place. :P And, I have to say that this crust was better than any graham crust, and just as simple.

Q: Lately I have been hearing about human trafficking and how teens are taken from malls and forced to work. Is this something that I need to be concerned about in the Lehigh Valley? Is if safe to let my kids go to the mall?
A: Human trafficking is the fasted growing criminal activity in the world and the Lehigh Valley is not immune, the Help for Families panel says. In human trafficking a child under the age of 18 is forced by, fraud, or coercion to perform labor or sexual acts.
"The mall is definitely one of the places human traffickers find kids," says panelist Pam Pillsbury. "It's simple for them to go to the mall food court and look for a young person who is alone. They also hang around schoolyards and the Internet is huge in trolling for lonely kids."
"They know how to target teens who are vulnerable," says panelist Beck Sullivan. "Often they pose as a boyfriend. The majority of kids targeted are runaways."
An 200,000 teens a year are taken in human trafficking Pillsbury says. In the Unite States the average age that children are taken is 11.
Locally hotline calls about human trafficking have been increasing says Sullivan who co-founded VAST, The Valley Against Sex Trafficking.
"Once they have a kid, it's very similar to domestic violence," Pillsbury says. "It starts out as a slow courtship, and the child think someone cares about them. Then they will be asked to dance in a club, and then sex acts are introduced. Often alcohol and drugs are involved."
Labor trafficking can land a young person working as a domestic, in a nail salon or a massage parlor, Sullivan says.
The children who are most vulnerable and those who have previously abused, says panelist Rochelle Freedman. Most children are abused by someone they know or a relative, even under their own roof, she says.
"Know your child," she says. "Teach children assertiveness skills and how to say no to adults so they are not vulnerable. Nobody wants to talk about incest but you have to have those conversations."
Many parents don't want to talk about these issues, agrees panelist Michael Daniels. Parents are afraid by talking about sex they will push kids into it.
Know who your kids are talking to on the Internet and make sure they know that human trafficking exists and that there are pimps out there.
Open up a conversation, says panelist Suzanne Mulhern.
"Pop culture often glamorizes prostitution," Pillsbury says. "They need to know the reality – about violence and disease."
Be aware if your child suddenly has a new, especially older boyfriend, and has new clothes and expensive jewelry.

USPS pension surplus due to wrong salary assumptions, IG finds
Wednesday - 10/17/2012, 2:37pm EDT
The Postal Service has overfunded its pension because of lower-than-expected increases to employees' salaries, according to a watchdog analysis.
As of the end of September 2011, the Office of Personnel Management projected the USPS had a $13.1 billion pension surplus — most of it in the Federal Employees Retirement System, according to the report by the USPS Office of the Inspector General, which hired Hay Group to do the analysis.
The report found actual pay increases for postal employees fell short of OPM's expectations. From January 2002 to January 2011, OPM assumed an annual pay increase of 4.11 percent for postal employees. In fact, actual annual increases ranged from 2.77 percent to 3.41 percent, based on averages from the four major postal unions.
"Under current OPM assumptions, the surplus will likely continue and increase over time," the USPS OIG report said.
Postal employees have fewer steps in their pay scale than the typical federal employee and reach the top step more quickly. Currently, more than 70 percent of postal craft employees have already reached the top of their pay scale, according to the report.

Another reason for the surplus is lower-than-expected cost-of-living adjustments, which is tied to inflation. This year, the COLA increased by 3.6 percent after two years of no increase. Next year's COLA is 1.7 percent.
The two-year pay freeze has also contributed to the surplus, the report said.
USPS agreed with the main findings of the report. The lower salary increases among Postal Service employees compared with the rest of the federal government suggests the current surplus is actually greater than the $11.4 billion that OPM projected, said USPS spokesman David Partenheimer
"OPM should use Postal Service-specific data to calculate the surplus," Partenheimer said in an emailed statement.
He said OPM should adjust the Postal Service's FERS contribution rate. For most feds, the FERS contribution is 12.7 percent, with 0.8 percent paid by the employee and the rest paid by the agency.
"The current FERS charges are too high, as evidenced by 20 years of surpluses, and continue to contribute to the Postal Service's financial crisis," Partenheimer said.
The USPS OIG found the Postal Service's FERS has had a surplus since 1992.
In response to the USPS OIG findings, Jon Foley, OPM's director of Planning and Policy Analysis, said, "OPM is required by law to make our estimates based on government-wide numbers using the most recent demographic and economic assumptions by the Board of Actuaries," according to an emailed statement.

Associated Press
West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant is running for Democrat Jay Rockefeller's seat in the U.S. Senate.
Tennant confirmed her plans to The Associated Press on Monday, a day ahead of planned announcements in Beckley, Charleston and Morgantown.
Her candidacy sets up the possibility of a high-profile battle with popular seven-term Republican U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito. Capito announced her intentions to run before Rockefeller announced he wouldn't seek a sixth term.
If each candidate wins her respective primary, West Virginia voters could elect a woman senator for the first time.
Tennant's announcement was anticipated. Last week the National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a statement calling her a "cookie-cutter liberal."
In an email to supporters Monday night, state Democratic Party Chair Larry Puccio called Tennant "the people's candidate."

Recent e-mails from readers have included some pretty thoughtful questions, three of which I present to you here, along with what I hope are equally thoughtful answers ...
Andrew Allen sent in this: "I've heard of things being oldfangled and newfangled, but can something be just plain fangled?"
Answer: Absolutely, Andrew.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, fangled is an adjective defined as "characterized by crotchets or fopperies."
If you're thinking, "Huh?," I should probably be a little less of a stinker and point out that the OED also tells us that the word is obsolete. The OED's most recent citation for it is from Shakespeare's "Cymbeline" ("Be not, as is our fangled world, a Garment, Nobler than that it covers"), written circa 1611.
It may no longer exist in standard use, but it is interesting to note that the word fangled had a derogatory or disapproving tone to it. The same can be said for both oldfangled and newfangled.
When people today say things like, "How long do we have to keep this oldfangled telephone?" or "I can't figure out that newfangled billing system," the inference is clearly one of displeasure or objection (although rarely as poetically put as by Shakespeare).
G. K. Jessop asked if I would settle an argument: "Is there any difference between everyday (one word) and every day (two words)?"
Answer: I don't know which side of this argument you're on, G. K., but the answer in brief is "Yes, there is most definitely a difference."
To explain more fully, we need to think about the grammatical distinction between the two forms.
As one word, everyday is an adjective, as in "Hannaford's everyday prices" and "it's an everyday occurrence." The adjective everyday is not uncommon, but we more often use the two-word form every day, not as an adjective, however, but as an adverbial phrase -- for example, "I eat fish every day" and "he stopped by every day this week."
An easy trick for remembering this difference is to think of every day as being equivalent to each day, and therefore interchangeable. So, if "it rained each day" makes sense, then "it rained every day" is also correct. But if "doing my each day chores" sounds wrong, then "doing my every day chores" is also wrong. The correct form would be "doing my everyday chores."
Another trick is to imagine the word single between "every" and "day." If it makes sense ("it rained every single day"), then every day is correct. If it doesn't make sense ("doing my every single day chores"), then it should have been the one-word adjective everyday.
Maria Johns came up with an interesting poser when she asked, "Is there a name for the sideways-8 symbol that stands for 'infinity'?"
Answer: Like most people, Maria, I know exactly the symbol you're referring to. But as your question illustrates so well, even when we're familiar with a symbol and what it stands for, we may not be aware that the symbol itself has a given name. I'm not even sure that all symbols do have given names distinct from what they stand for (I mean, I wouldn't know what to call "+" other than a "plus sign"), but many symbols do have such designations, including "&," which stands for "and" but which is also commonly known to be an ampersand.
So, does the infinity symbol have a name? Actually, it does--it's called a lemniscate (pronounce the —niscate to rhyme with biscuit), which in mathematics can also refer to other figure-8 curves, especially in algebraic geometry.
Thanks for your excellent questions!

Here comes Santa Claus ... where'd he get that snazzy red suit?
Years ago, I had a book of letters written to Santa Claus, and I remember that, among all the messages of "bring me this," "bring me that," and "I'll leave you a plate of cookies," one little boy had written, "Dear Santa, Where did you get your snazzy red suit?" I wouldn't be surprised if the author of that question grew up to be either a reporter or a fashion consultant, but in any event, I hope he got an answer to his question.

The English economist Sir Roy Forbes Harrod (1900"1978) once said that, compared to all the scholars he had known at Oxford and Cambridge, the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844"1930) was the most exceptional in "scholarship, devotion to duty, and wisdom." There is no reason to question Harrod's assessment, but that's not exactly the imprint by which Spooner is best remembered.

I've had quite lenghty conversations with one of their excellent customer service representatives since they made the switch and he informed me today that these are the old fit.
Cheers to a company that puts its customers first!
The pants I ordered fit me fine in the waist; but they were too short in the rise, much too small in the seat area, and because the factory did not leave any extra fabric in those areas, they could not be let out.
In the past (for example, just 5 years ago), every pair of Brooks Brothers pants that I tried on would fit me just fine in the rise and seat areas, if they fit in the waist.
Just for the record, and I can't explain it, the black and charcoal colors have a low rise and looser fit. This was the case when I bought one pair in every color back in May. I tried on the black, thought the fit was excellent, purchased the remaining colors, and was shocked to find that charcoal was the only other remotely comfortable color. The massive disparity in cut depending on color was and is very odd.
We have returned to the original specs of this product. All the new trousers are back to the old Madison fit. Past inventory has been consolidated to certain retail locations.
Thank you for contacting us.
Have a great day.
We do hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,

Don't change the rules
Dear Editor,
As children, we're taught that cheating is against the rules, plain and simple. As adults, many of us work to instill this value in children. We want them to play fair, and follow the rules even if it doesn't go their way. As the old adage goes, "Cheaters never win."
Gov. Perry, Lt. Gov. Dewhurst and their allies in the legislature must have missed this lesson. And Texas women could pay the price. Perry and Dewhurst have resorted to cheating and deception to push their abortion bill that will hurt the health of many women across the state.
We demand that Gov. Perry and Lt. Gov. Dewhurst stop changing the rules. Cheating is no way to make laws for Texas. If the governor and his allies can't pass a law fairly under the rules, we can't let them cheat their way to victory. Here in Texas, cheaters never win.
Janell Jenkins, Garland
Men have no say on abortion
Dear Editor,
It's amazing that Perry, Dewhurst, et al, go to such bullying lengths to deny women their rights, choice, voice and votes using dirty politics.
Their tactics are nothing but lies but educated Texas people see right through their schemes. If they were so "right" there would be no need for such a fight. They need to listen to what over half of Texas citizens are saying about a woman's right to choose her life's path just as they allow men to choose theirs.
The whole situation is insulting. What about the laws that affect the other half of this equation, the males who helped cause pregnancies? Their silence on this matter speaks volumes and show men like Perry, Dewhurst, et al, as the hypocrites they are. They care nothing for women or children but their pocket books and power. There were some women at the last session but many more will be at the next.
