The Total Iraq and Afghanistan Pricetag: Over $4 Trillion
A new study shows that the cost of caring for veterans will soar in coming decades.
The U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been declared officially over, but America has barely begun to pay the bill, says a new study. That could make defending the nation and paying the government's bills even tougher to do in the future.
[PHOTOS: The 10th Anniversary of the Iraq War]
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars will together cost $4 to $6 trillion, according a new study from Harvard University's Kennedy School. A large share of those bills has yet to be paid: the study finds that the U.S. has spent around $2 trillion thus far on the two controversial wars, and that growing commitments to spending on military personnel and veterans will drive much of the spending in the decades to come. The study notes that the Veterans' Affairs budget has tripled since the start of the wars.
"Assuming this pattern continues, there will be a much smaller amount of an already-shrinking defense budget available for core military functions," writes Linda Bilmes, senior lecturer in public policy at Harvard and the study's author.
Bilmes has been studying the costs of the two wars for years, and she says that the estimates of the total cost continue to climb as the cost of continuing care for veterans mounts.
"What has happened is the number of injuries and the number of claims and the complexity of claims...in these conflicts has been much higher than in previous wars," she says. She notes that after Vietnam, veterans averaged around two and a half to three conditions per claim, whereas veterans now have over eight conditions per claim.
[PRESS PAST: The Underestimated Costs, and Price Tag, of the Iraq War]
Of the nearly 1.6 million troops that have been discharged from the wars, over half have received Veterans' Affairs medical treatment and will also receive benefits for the rest of their lives. Those costs will stack up as more troops are discharged and need benefits. The study finds that providing medical and disability benefits to vets will eventually cost over $836 billion.
This long tail of spending follows a well-established historical trend, writes Bilmes: disability spending on World War I veterans hit its peak in 1969, and spending on World War II veterans was at its highest in the late 1980s.
There are other factors at play here, however: the military must also spend on replacing worn-out equipment and on interest on the cost of the wars. In addition, Congress ramped up spending on personnel and veterans during the wars, increasing pay for troops to counteract difficulties in recruitment and expanding the military's TRICARE healthcare system. Bilmes believes that spiraling costs may have the potential to change spending on veterans from a "sacred cow" to an area with real potential for deficit reduction.
[DEBATE CLUB: 10 Years Later, Was the Iraq War Worth It?]
"If you look at some of the costs that are baked into the system as a result of the wars—military pay raises, military health benefits, expanding the TRICARE system—it's more expensive to have personnel in the Defense Department," which could pressure lawmakers to target that area for cuts in the future. There has already been a glimpse of that in the willingness of some on Capitol Hill to accept the forced cuts of sequestration, which did not exempt the military.
While this study puts the total cost of the wars at $4 trillion to $6 trillion, assessments of the wars' costs do differ from source to source. While the Harvard study puts the cost of the two wars thus far at around $2 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office as of October 2012 said that only $1.4 trillion had been appropriated, though they do not account for some areas, like Social Security Disability Insurance, Bilmes points out. In addition, while she estimates the total cost of the two wars at $4 to $6 trillion, the Costs of War project at Brown University estimates it at around $4 trillion.

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
I am a 26 year old woman and I have had diarrhea daily for 23 months.
Back in Dec. 2009, my family and I visited Bangladesh. At this time, I weighed 174 lbs. Within days of arriving everybody developed some sort of food-borne (likely parasitical) illness accompanied by vomiting, severe diarrhea, fever, fatigue, and malaise. We went to a hospital and were prescribed Flagyl and were told we likely had Giardiasis. Upon taking this prescription, my son and husband quickly regained their health and while I did get a little better and was able to walk around and hold down my food and water, and the diarrhea lessened in severity, it did NOT go away.
We came back to the US in January 2010 and my Husband and child stayed since without having any diarrhea, except when ill while I still had ONLY loose stools several times a day. Along with the diarrhea daily, I developed chronic muscles and bone pains, intolerance to heat, frequent nausea, weight gain, loss of concentration and ability to stay on task, severe mood swings, urinary & fecal incontinence, and constant, unrelenting fatigue.
These symptoms kept going on and in July 2010, I went to the hospital. At the hospital, they ran a urine test and a visual pelvic examination (no PAP or any other tests), told me I had a mild UTI and that my prolonged menses was likely caused by a hormonal imbalance, prescribed me an antibiotic and sent me home. They did NOT run a fecal culture test nor did anything other than give me a referral to a clinic.
When I went to make an appointment at the clinic, I was told that the fee for the appointment would be $115 and various lab tests would be in excess of $800- I did not and still do not have that kind of money- so I did not make an appointment to get seen because I couldn't afford it.
In January 2011, A family friend whom happens to be a plastic surgeon visited our home and we asked him if he could refer us to someone who could help us without it being too expensive. He pulled some strings and I was able to see a colleague of his pro-Bono who also felt that it was Giardiasis and prescribed Flagyl. We could not afford any tests so again none were administered.
After taking the Flagyl a second time, the diarrhea did not go away, still, but I did at least, start getting solid stools at least a few times a week also.
This diarrhea interferes with my life in such a way that I can't go anywhere that does not have a restroom available because the diarrhea and/or urination can come at any time without warning. It interferes with my sleep schedule because I have to get up 3 or more times per night to use the bathroom.
I have tried changing my diet so many times, but nothing makes the diarrhea go away. Although I have found that oatmeal, lettuce, cucumbers, and other raw veggies, grape nuts cereal, whole wheat, high fiber bread, and spicy and oily or fried foods aggravate my symptoms and cheese, bananas,steamed veggies, potatoes and rice lessen the severity, nothing makes it go away.
Despite daily urinary and fecal incontinence, I am NOT losing any weight. In fact, I am gaining weight and despite adopting rigorous diet and exercise, I cannot lose any weight. I am now 195 lbs.
I don't know what to do or where to turn for help. I'm tired of the frequent bathroom trips. I'm tired of the pain and headaches. I'm tired of not being able to think or concentrate or remember like I could 3 years ago. I'm tired of the weight gain and tired of the pain and head-aches. But most of all, I'm just tired of being tired all the time.
Please somebody, help me. Anything at all, please.
When my diarrhea is severe, it is accompanied by heart-burn, nausea, gas, bloating, abdominal and sometimes thoracic pain and the consistency is pure liquid with perhaps some little pieces of lettuce, cilantro, peas, beans, corn, etc (whatever I may have eaten). Water also seems to make my bowel movements come more frequently and definitely makes me urinate very often (like 2-4 times an hour). I still drink water even though it increases the amount because I would rather go the the bathroom several times a day than suffer the migraines and vomiting that come from NOT drinking enough water.
When my diarrhea is less severe, it tends to be a chunky or peanut-butter-like consistency. White bread and tortillas also lessens the severity of the symptoms.
If so, IBS and delayed gastric emptying/FD can cause these symptoms. Perhaps small frequent meals of foods that you were tolerating, avoiding fried/fatty foods, trying a low fat low residue diet. Maybe you could also try a probiotic supplement such as Align for IBS-D. A Gastroenterologist would be great for diagnosis and treatment.
I've been looking up my symptoms and asking around and I keep
getting responses about celiac's disease. Except for the symptom of constipation, most symptoms match.
I don't ever get stopped up, in fact, it's just the opposite- I have had diarrhea EVERYDAY for the past 23 months- it varies in severity from a thicker, peanut-butter-like consistency (which is a good day) to explosive burning "water" coming out of my bottom. Even though I have diarrhea, it also feels lie my intestines never fully empty and is accompanied by gas, nausea, bloating, indigestion, pain and sometimes heart-burn. I also have not been able to get any help, have been discharged from the er without them running any fecal/culture tests. The more severe version comes and goes without warning. Alterations of my diet and exercise routines offer little relief and do not make it go completely away. My intestines often feel swollen and often I have a burning and or bubbling sensation traveling sporadically throughout my abdominopelvic area.
I also do not know where to turn for help. People keep saying go see a GE Dr. I do not have insurance and we are a very low income family. I live in Lauderhill, FL, and I have had problems with finding anyone who can offer me any suggestions of any Dr's in this specific field who would be willing to work out a payment plan that fits my family's income limitations. If anyone can give answers. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Robbers target Banbury jewellers
12:15pm Tuesday 11th September 2012 in Headlines By Sam McGregor
ROBBERS have struck at a Banbury jewellery shop.
The incident happened this morning at Michael Jones Jeweller, in High Street, Banbury, around 11am.
At the moment it is not clear how many thieves were involved or whether they were armed.
It is believed a smoke bomb was used.
In 2009 four masked robbers smashed display cabinets with sledgehammers and stole £330,000 of expensive watches and jewellery from the same shop.

Its not surprising though as its probably targeted due to the poor standard of policing in Banbury and its incompetent officers...easy picking!!

So perhaps if it was targeted because of "the poor standard of policing in Banbury" and because it has been robbed several times before.......they really should have done some very basic research on how the previous perpetrators didnt manage to evade TVP either!

Part of the function and responsibility of the police (even in Banbury) is to act as a deterrent, to be pro-active and to prevent crimes!
By simply having to mop up means that they have failed in the first place!
I hope that you now have a clearer understanding of why your comment is totally irrelevant.
By the dismissive attitude though I would assume that you are part of TVP in which case your comment is dismissed as invalid!
Well done to the members of the public who had to do the job that the police should do!
But how embarrassing it is for the local police… Perhaps they should consider giving some of their wages to the members of the public who bravely had to catch & detain the offender and done what they are paid to do??

Geoff Roberts wrote:Burglaries, robberies, murders, sexual assaults, assaults, are all Anti-social, so is speeding. But speeding takes up the majority of police time, as 6 units from Bicester called in last week to pull over a council street cleaner proves. Get your priorities right Jeff. We all know you are perfection personified, but to want to waste police time on speeding and not the first mentioned crimes is way off the mark.
Speeding is anti-social behaviour. Anyone who lives along a small road which is effectively divided by this behaviour, unsafe for residents, particularly children, elderly and disabled, should understand this perfectly well. It is behaviour which damages our society, therefore it is anti social.

If you are thinking about tweeting about clouds, pork, exercise or even Mexico, think again. Doing so may result in a closer look by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
In a story appearing earlier today on the U.K's Daily Mail website, it was reported that the DHS has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor various social networking sites. The list provides a glimpse into what DHS describes as "signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S."
The list was posted by the Electronic Privacy Information Center who filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act, before suing to obtain the release of the documents. The documents were part of the department's 2011 'Analyst's Desktop Binder' used by workers at their National Operations Center which instructs workers to identify 'media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities'.
The information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats. The Daily Mail's article noted the Electronic Privacy Information Center wrote a letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counter-terrorism and Intelligence, describing it's choice of words as 'broad, vague and ambiguous'.
What wasn't disclosed is how the agency actually gains access to the various search engines and social networks to monitor the specified keywords. My guess is the DHS has a "special arrangement" with companies like Google Google, Facebook Facebook, Microsoft Microsoft, Yahoo and Twitter to gain secure direct API access. This type of access would allow it to use distributed cloud technologies to monitor the daily flow of social media and search activity in something close to real time.
I would love to learn more about the technologies used to accomplish this type of social / web monitoring. The applications for monitoring trends and social statics are fascinating when applied to other industry sectors. Given the extent of the monitoring, I'm sure this post itself is now coming up on the DHS radar, so please feel free to leave a comment with any insights.
(Update 1: Reading through the Desktop Binder, I discovered the DHS Twitter account is @dhsnocmmc1 and DHS appears to be using tweetdeck to monitor the various keywords. See Page 38 – Also interesting to note they seem to be using a Mac Mini as a server, and no password vaults. All Passwords appear to be shared in a plain text word document.)
(Update 2: On page 37, DHS instructs analysts to accept invalid SSL certificates forever without verification. Although invalid SSL warnings often appear in benign situations, they can also signal a man-in-the-middle attack. Not a good practice for the security conscious. Thanks to @obraon twitter for the tip.)

So they monitor everybody then?
This is not the real list. These are words that have meaning to the general public in a security context mixed with terms with which you are unfamiliar so that you would *believe* that it is the real list.
I agree with you on this. It's always smoke and mirrors with government task forces, so to have publicly disclosed such information would be counter-productive to the task at hand – *secretly* detecting probable threats to national security.
You're probably right. This list is way too general to be of any use. And anybody who's spent any time on social media knows that people who woudl be stupid enough to plan a terrorist attack on the internet probably aren't smart enough to spell half of those words.
And even worse, it doesn't have any of the real terms that criminals would use.
So…they misspelled lightning?
Cops, Law Enforcement, Police, Gangs and Looting make the list. In a free society, there will be a lot of talk about law enforcement and their methods, so they can basically snoop on anyone. Looting seems a strange addition to the list, having nothing to do with terrorism.
Suspiciously absent from the list are Congress, President, Supreme Court, Agency, Bureau, Department, House of Representatives, Senate and other known terrorists institutions.
You are one of the few that can see. Our government has been taken over by a gang of criminals.
even if you are talking about "exercise" apparently

Moms Talk is a weekly feature on all Lehigh Valley Patches in which local parents, caregivers and other members of the community are invited to share opinions and advice on parenting topics. This week's Moms Talk relates to Black Friday shopping.
True confession time: I have NEVER been Black Friday shopping. I have read about it. I have seen stories about it on T.V. There's the annual interview with the first person standing in one of the long lines that wrap around stores like Toys 'R Us and Best Buy in the hours before dawn. I know the sales are good. I don't love shopping as a general rule, so shopping on Black Friday just seems like too much hassle to me. But, I have been shopping and I have been shopping with my kids. I can't possibly imagine shopping with them on Black Friday.
Which brings us to this week's Moms Talk question:
Do you take your kids Black Friday shopping? If so, what tips do you have for getting through the excursion? If you don't, what do you do with the little ones while you are out hunting down all those bargains?
Our Moms Council members include:
- Lisa Amey of Upper Milford Township is a stay-at-home mother of two. A past president of the MOMS Club of Emmaus and longtime member of MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers), Lisa is an Independent Consultant for Arbonne International.
- Lisa Drew of Emmaus is a certified nutritionist and personal trainer, wellness and fitness coach with more than 17 years of experience. She is the mother of a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.

- Jeanne Lombardo of Nazareth is the mother of a 10-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. She's new to the Lehigh Valley, having moved to Nazareth from Bergen County, NJ in January.
- Lisa Merk of Lower Macungie is a stay-at-home mother of four boys – a 14-year-old and 8-year-old triplets. Lisa is a past president of the MOMS Club of Lower Macungie East. In her "spare" time, Lisa teaches piano to school-age children.
- Zoila Bonilla Paul of Bethlehem is a stay-at-home mom to two girls – a 5-year-old and a 14-month-old. Zoila is a member of her local "moms' club" and says she is "well-versed in the fun that children can bring."
- Beth Sharpless of Emmaus works part time in a local emergency department as a nurse and part time from home as a customer support specialist. She has two children -- a boy who is 3 and a 6-year-old girl. She says they love spending time outdoors and dancing.

Snow Leopards
Posted by Bruce Robinson in wildlife , research , planning , parks , international , education , conservation , animals
From his home base in Sonoma, Dr. Rodney Jackson reaches halfway around the world to protect the endangered Snow Leopards of the Himalayas.
For almost three decades, Dr. Jackson, a zoologist, has played a leading role in the study of the elusive high mountain snow leopards. He explains how it has progressed over the years.
Snow leopards are notoriously shy, as Jackson details, but they are surprisingly available to be seen at zoos across North America, including in San Francisco, where a new habitat was recently constructed for their active breeding pair.
Dr. Jackson has recently developed the Long Tail wine label, selling high quality Sonoma County varietals as a fund-raising tool for the Snow Leopard Conservancy.

Kardea Gourmet- Heart Hea Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Kardea Gourmet: Heart Healthy Diet is a book written by cardiologist Dr. Richard Collins, and dietician Susan Buckley. Foodie Rob Leighton, a man who loves food but has a cholesterol problem, also contributed to the book. Together, the three of them created a book to focus on a heart healthy diet that everyone could enjoy. If you are trying to lose weight and want to use a heart healthy diet to do it, this could be the answer you are looking for.
List of Ingredients
Not applicable.
Product Features
Kardea Gourmet: Heart Healthy Diet will teach you about the fundamentals of nutrition, where you learn more about good vs. bad fats, good vs. bad cholesterol, and how it all works together to affect your heart health. You do not have to become a vegetarian for this diet to work, but you are strongly encouraged to limit your meat intake, and limit your portion sizes to no more than four ounces at one time. Though no specific heart healthy diet is promoted, several different heart healthy diets, including the Mediterranean Diet and Okinawa Diet are discussed.
- Kardea Gourmet: Heart Healthy Diet provides information that may be able to help you manage heart disease and diabetes.
- This book promotes exercise.
- Kardea Gourmet: Heart Healthy Diet, though aimed at heart health does not contain a clear guideline for a heart healthy diet.
- This does not include recipes for breakfast or dessert.
- There is no clear outlined exercise plan.
- Many of the recipes contain meat and other animal products, which are somewhat contradictory to the information presented in the book.
- People who follow the recipes in the book should expect to spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen.
Kardea Gourmet: Heart Healthy Diet is a good foundation for those who are looking for a heart healthy diet, but it is missing some fundamentals. It is important to have clear-cut guidelines for a heart healthy diet, as well as clear-cut exercise plans. It also does not make much sense to only have recipes for lunch and dinner when breakfast and dessert are an integral part of many diets. Without the guidance for breakfast and dessert, many people could derail from the heart healthy diet. We recommend a diet low in saturated fat, high in lean protein, fresh produce, and whole grains. This should be combined with cardiovascular and strength training exercise to keep the body healthy and strong. Weight loss will assist with the management of heart disease and various other conditions. To boost your weight loss efforts, taking a clinically proven weight loss supplement in the form of an appetite suppressant or fat burner can also help.

New York Gov. David Paterson Says Something Funny by Accident
I am thirteen years old inside my brain, so this is obviously the best thing ever…
"We thank President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan for coming up with The Race to the Cock."
With all due respect to the Gov. Paterson, I used to live in New York, and Obama and Duncan had nothing to do with that. They've been running that race in Chelsea for years.

The Daily Show Looks at Ethically-Challenged Democrats
With the possible exception of Republicans, no major political party knows how to bend moral principles to the point of near-snapping better than the Democrats. One need read no further than today's headlines to see that's true. But what if headline reading is not your thing? Well, then this collection of Daily Show clips is the collection of Daily Show clips for you!
Charlie Rangel, John Kerry and Rod Blagojevich
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

Stephen Colbert's Best Moments on Empire State Politics
Most people forget about li'l ol' New York State, with its shrinking violet politicians and its Aw Shucksy down-home folkiness. But Rep. Charlie Rangel's recent improprieties have sort of dragged New York kicking and screaming back into the limelight. And, since it's already here, we might as well use this opportunity to examine it through a Colbert-approved politiscope. 'Cause who knows when we'll be hearing from it again…

Jon Stewart on David Paterson and Charlie Rangel
It's definitely been a tough week for New York Democrats with both Governor David Paterson and longtime Congressman Charles Rangel in deep ethical hot-water. Fortunately, the Empire State looks poised to turn things around with the impending announcement that Paterson and Rangel will be replaced by Bernie Madoff and the ghost of Boss Tweed, respectively.

David Paterson's Public Statement for the Ages
Just watched New York Gov. David Paterson's public statement officially announcing that he will not be running in November. It mostly seemed kind of pointless, but I thought the very end of it was rather moving…
"I hope that history will remember that I fought the good fight, that I…"
I forget that part.
"…and that I…"
I forget that part, too.
But, overall, I think his point was well-made.

---- — St. Augustine Church held its first Christmas Eve Mass at the Collins Center this year, and the pastor of Andover's largest Catholic parish says he expects the event to be held at the auditorium in the future.
This year, the Rev. Peter Gori celebrated the 4 p.m. Mass at the Collins Center for the Performing Arts for the very first time, in hopes of alleviating the standing room only crowds at his church on Essex Street.
Gori said about 1,300 people attended Mass at the center, which is also the auditorium for Andover High School. Churchgoers sat comfortably in padded chairs, but Gori's longtime worry of tending to a medical emergency during a crowded Christmas Eve Mass happened.
A police report shows that an 85-year-old man collapsed at the Mass. He was taken away in an ambulance by the Andover Fire Department. Police received the distress call at 4:58 p.m. while Mass was still being said.
Gori said the man is from North Andover and is doing fine. Gori said he saw the man collapse during Mass and the pastor calmly asked if there were any doctors on hand to assist.
"Three doctors and some nurses stepped forward," Gori said. "It was calm and the man, who has a history of fainting, was tended to," Gori said.
Gori said getting emergency responders to a medical scene at a crowded Christmas Eve Mass has always worried him. That's one reason why the Collins Center was used this year.
"It's spacious and the responders have room," he said.
The patient was quickly put on a stretcher, then rolled outside to the ambulance. Gori continued with the Mass.
"It was a joyous celebration for so many families," he said. "I'm thrilled that so many came...we will use the Collins Center next year, absolutely."
BY THE NUMBERS Those attending Christmas Eve Masses by St. Augustine Church, the town's largest Catholic congregation, totaled: 1,300 at Collins Center's 4 p.m. Mass 850 at Merrimack College's 4:30 p.m. Mass 388 at church's 6 p.m. Mass 332 at church's 10:30 p.m. Mass There were also 800 who attended three Masses on Christmas Day at the main Essex Street church. TOTAL: about 3,670 people Source: Church pastor Rev. Peter Gori.

Viola! Sarah and Laura, of The Family Crest.
Esquire Theme by Matthew Buchanan
Social icons by Tim van Damme
Viola! Sarah and Laura, of The Family Crest.
Here are the Val Jeanty pics:) Val is an amazing Haitian born, Brooklyn living electronic artist. She's quite talented - her compositions have been installed in places like the Whitney and MOMA. Anyway, I caught her just before she left for a performance in France for a photo and interview for the book. Hurrah!
Ladies and gentlemen, here are the Miho Hatori photos for my book! Talking with Miho was pretty great - she was candid and thoughtful and we talked about coming to the United States, finding friends through music, her first band, and on and on. What really struck me about her was something she said about following her bliss. In any case, the full interview will be published with the book, so until then, enjoy the pics!
Also! Did you know Cibo Matto is reuniting? So cool.
An interesting 'Why We Fight' from Nitsuh Abebe, discussing race and the erosion of traditional top-down music marketing. An interesting point for sure, especially since both these factors come up frequently in interviews for the book.
Shannon Shaw, of Shannon and the Clams and Hunx and his Punx! It's so awesome to see Oakland bands getting the recognition they deserve.
"For women, if your goal is to be famous, to be some it-girl that people emulate and wanna be like, then the tools of envy and sexuality and marketing are absolutely and easily available. But if you wanna do something for the bigger good of the world, something that creates feelings of empowerment and inclusion, that takes work. It's less fluff and more content. That's why we try to set an example and be really transparent about how we operate as a band. We have a foundation of friendship and collaboration and shared ideals. That's what allows us to create the music we do."
Photos and text from the Grass Widow photo/interview. Full text and photos can be found in 'We Are All Together,' published later this year! Look out for it!
They were the sweetest! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Raining Jane. Unassuming, harmony based, unpretentious, they figured out music, band finances, and life work together. And, yes, they all still get along.
In other news, book work continues! I'm so glad they are a part of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Anna Oxygen photos. Anna has been up to quite a bit since releasing her last couple of albums, including touring with Cloud Eye Control, which is performance to feast your eyes on, I guarantee.
Anna had great things to say about life roles, financing your work, and performance generally. I'll post a preview of the interview soon!
Corin Tucker pics are in! OMG. SO. MUCH. FUN. These are my favorite, the ones you may see in print. Go check out her new band @ Kill Rock Stars.
It was so cold it made her eyes water during the photos. She was such a sport about it though!
Kathy Foster's pics for the book are in! Kathy plays in The Thermals and The All Girl Summer Band (as well as a bunch of other rad stuff). Tascam love right here in the pics. Aw.
Toody Cole! Of Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows. Not to mention The Rats (and the Range Rats)…she had great things to say about business, marriage, music, children…ah, it was so good to interview her! Such amazing perspective.
Here are the Sara Lund pics for We Are All Together! (Sara is a drummer, duh!) She's with Hungry Ghost and The Corin Tucker Band nowadays, and she was the drummer for Unwound for a good long while. Cool! We photographed on a rainy day at home, since if Portland is good for anything, it's rainy days, right;)
Drumcore from Pdx, Oregon! This is STLS (Lisa Schonberg and STS) shoot from a couple weeks ago. (I'm a bit behind - I'll have the rest of the next weekend's shoots up soon!) Anyway, we met at the Girls Rock Camp in Portland and shot in a slough behind the camp. The weirdest part was someone had dumped a truckload of mushrooms on a hill and we had to walk over them to get to where we took the picture.
Here is a preview of some of the photos from last weekend - Rachel Flotard, singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Seattle rock outfit Visqueen. What else does Rachel do? Oh you know, just singing for Neko Case, rocking out with pedal steel player Jon Rauhouse, and doing vocals for another band called Cobirds Unite. I heard Terry Gross interview her on Fresh Air a long time ago and I knew she'd be an awesome addition to the book.
Photos were taken at the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle. Which, I must say, is super cool. You really must go.
Portland is drizzling. What else is new!

Spot of Tea: Stash Premium Green Tea
The scent of this tea was immediately appealing—as soon as the bag touched water, a nutty aroma burst forward. It's almost like drinking Honey Smacks cereal: it's rich, full, and smooth, lightly herbal, but not at all bitter. This blend makes the perfect cup to sip on a cool, foggy morning, as long as you're craving that toasted flavor.
I bought this 20-pack for $3.49 at my local market, and must say I enjoyed it more than the pricier box from Two Leaves and a Bud.

July 31, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Mixed economic news helped drive gas prices down for the eighth week in a row, according to new numbers from AAA. Nationwide, prices fell over 8 cents since last week and are down 31 cents year to year.
Around east Tennessee, gas prices were only down slightly across the board, but still remain well under the national average. In Knoxville, prices ticked down around one cent to $3.22, while folks across the river in Maryville saw the low prices in the area at just under $3.14.
AAA said crude oil prices jumped last week following reports that U.S. jobless claims rose less than expected. But that optimism was tempered later in the week with news that the GDP didn't grow as much as predicted. Still, though, crude oil prices finished nearly five dollars higher than the week before.

Original recipe yields 30 cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 165 degrees C ).
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time; beat until fluffy. Stir in the anise and vanilla extracts. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; Add them to the egg mixture along with the chopped almonds. Stir with a spoon and as the dough comes together, Knead by hand.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each piece into a log about 15 inches long. Place logs onto cookie sheets, 2 to a sheet, the long way. Flatten the logs out until they are about 3 inches wide with a slight hump going down the middle. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, loaves should be firm. Cut the loaves into diagonal slices 1/2 inch wide, place the slices onto the cookie sheets and return to the oven. Toast on one side, then turn them over to do the other side. This will take about 7 to 10 minutes.

This may or may not be a review of this recipe, because I changed it so much, but here goes. I used 8 ounces of butter and 4 ounces of good olive oil, left out the almonds, substituted almond extract for the anise and brushed the logs with beaten egg whites before baking. I also baked them longer the second time. I then made 4 separate logs with four different flavors. They were Cherry flavored dried cranberries, sweetened coconut flakes, walnuts, and cocoa powder (2 tsp)and chocolate chips. The cranberries were the best! This is a great base recipe -- and I will for sure make it again!
I am getting so many compliments on my biscotti! From Italian people too!! I've made this recipe twice. At first you'll think the dough is too sticky but the large amount of butter in the recipe makes it easy to work with. Once I got to the point of adding flour I changed to a dough hook on my stand mixer. Without that, this could get tedious to mix. Excellent recipe - thank you!
I've been experimenting with biscotti recipes, lately, and this is by far our favorite! My husband took some to work and 2 people asked for the recipe. I put the dough into 2 large loaves - next time I'll make the loaves smaller, as the sliced pieces were a bit large. Make this; you'll be happy! Also - I used Splenda for Baking for the sugar.

While Rebecca is off eating turkey and doing whatever it is you Americans do at Thanksgiving – and I confess to having had no idea what Thanksgiving was until my American office-mate explained it to me yesterday – I have been left in charge of link love. Never having been one to shirk a challenge I am taking you on a tour of my favourite UK reads of the week. Tally ho, old chaps, etc.
In the week that Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their Diamond wedding anniversary, I had my heart cockles warmed by this interview with the UK's oldest newly-weds. He is 93, while she is a bright young thing of 85.
The category shortlists for The Costa Book Awards, one of the UK's major literary prizes, has been announced this week. The prize is open to writers in the UK and Ireland. In the novel category my fingers are crossed for AL Kennedy, whose books I like very much. And she lives in my native Glasgow, which is even better.
In other UK literary award prize news, the nominations are also out for the annual Literary Review Bad Sex Awards! Britain's "most dreaded literary prize" takes a wry glance at truly awful sex scenes in literature, and includes books from anywhere in the world. The Guardian has a good piece on it over here. Previous winners include Tom Wolfe, who apparently didn't see the funny side.
The film of Philip Pullman's first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy is coming out very soon. The Golden Compass film has its own website, and on it you can find out what your Daemon is. Mine is a spider called Thermius. I can't tell you how much this distresses me as I have a raging case of arachnophobia. (From the front page of the site, click on the tab along the top that says 'Daemons')
OK, so it's not all UK links. This cartoon really made me laugh.
My very favourite UK book blogger, Dovegrey Reader, writes in defense of writing in book margins.
…and following on from that, this site takes "defacing" books to a while new level. Half of me is appalled. The other half is just astonished at the sheer talent.
One Response to "Friday Procrastination: Link Love UK Special!"
Well Kirsty, you may have your fingers crossed for AL Kennedy in the Costa Book Awards but mine are crossed for Rupert Thomson and his book Death of a Murderer. Thomson's novels have been previously overlooked in the prize stakes, but I have high hopes that this time he will reign supreme!

---- — SARANAC LAKE — Despite a two-point double-overtime setback, former Northeastern Clinton standout Steve Carder passed Al Miller's record of 1,016 career points early in the second half, becoming North Country Community College's all-time leader.
The Saints (13-5) were unable to secure a four-point lead with 25 seconds remaining in the second overtime stanza, dropping an 84-82 decision to No. 7-ranked SUNY Delhi in NJCAA Region III men's basketball Saturday.
"The kids came ready to play," assistant coach Rob Roy said. "We got a defensive stop in regulation to get to overtime and rallied from a five-point deficit to force the second extra session. But they were converting, and we were just turning the ball over and missing shots."
Quayshaun Mitchell and Stefan Bock led the Broncos (17-2) in scoring with 21 points, respectively. Mitchell knocked down three of his team's five 3-point field goals.
Carder paced the Saints with 37 markers, including 11 converted free throws from the charity stripe, while grabbing 17 rebounds.
Michael Boyea (19) and Jared Heden (15) also reached double-digits.
North Country plays host to Fulton-Montgomery this afternoon in Saranac Lake at 3 p.m.

PAUL SMITHS — The Bobcats jumped out to a 29-22 lead at the half, but could not hold on as the Eagles came back for the victory.
"We struggled in the second half with our discipline defensively," Paul Smith's coach Joe Akey said. "We allowed open jump shots and they hit five 3-pointers in the last 20 minutes.
"We were also much more stagnant in the half-court offense, relying more on our athleticism then on their teammates."
Thelbert Green led the way for Eastern Maine with 19 points. Edson Pierre added 14 points, while Chris Lewis and Cote Card had eight apiece.
Alex Medina and Adam Klock had 15 points each to pace Paul Smith's. Connor McCuin finished with 10 points.
"We came out with great energy early," Akey said. "This team needs to execute the game plan and focus on defensive for 40 minutes. The second half, for some reason, we went away from what worked in the first half, and that is frustrating."

Auditors Fear the Cloud
Does internal audit only see the dark, rainy clouds? Can you see whether the silver lining, the potential for cloud computing is worth the risk?
Auditors should not fear risk. If you eliminate risk, you will also eliminate profit.
The key is to make decisions based on a knowledge of both the potential for adverse impacts and the potential for reward.
SC Magazine had a good set of questions in a November 2010 article:
- Am I using a trusted vendor?
- Have I considered the value and risk to the information that I am outsourcing to the cloud provider?
- What business continuity and disaster recovery measures are in place in the cloud infrastructure? Does the cloud provider have a backup in place?
- Have I considered the potential implication of employees wanting to sabotage a successful cloud migration strategy?
- Have I considered how knowledge of the business process would be retained and versioned, should I wish to switch cloud providers at a future date?
- Do I have a detailed list of security controls based on security, operational and business risks to determine how the cloud vendor complies with them?
- Does your cloud provider meet the regulatory or compliance requirements needed by your organization?
- How do I audit or evaluate security controls placed on the cloud-based infrastructure?
CIO-Asia had a similar piece this month, but only asked five questions, while CIO-UK needed eight. (But I still prefer the SC magazine list).
The questions for auditors are:
- Do you know what your organization is doing now with cloud? What is running where?
- What are your organization's plans and strategies for cloud?
- Are you involved, helping them navigate the risks and rewards? If not, why not?
- Are you being reasonable with respect to taking on risk, relative to the potential rewards?
- Are you an enabler, a navigator, or a roadblock to success?

By AMANDA BEAM
Resting comfortably over their front door, a broom hangs sideways inside Kary and Lori's cozy Floyd County home.
Only two years ago, the couple leapt over the wooden stick during their wedding ceremony in Louisville just as those who have fallen in love had done centuries before. In the antebellum South, slaves, who by law were not allowed to marry, demonstrated their commitment to each other in a similar way. Across the pond, the term "broomstick wedding" became synonymous with questionable unions in 18th century Europe.
While Kary and Lori do not question the depth and devotion of their marriage, they, too, must acknowledge its actual validity. Despite all the photos around their house of their happy day or the memories of the friends who came to witness it, from a legal standpoint, the two women are not accepted as a married couple.
Kentucky, nor Indiana for that matter, recognizes gay marriage. And the recent Supreme Court decision that ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional does nothing to change their situation.
While getting married in another state that allows same-sex marriage might grant them some federal rights even while living in Indiana, Kary and Lori remain skeptical.
"We've done everything we can possibly do from a legal standpoint to protect ourselves. As soon as we got married, we went to our attorney and we had all of our paperwork put together," Kary said. "Everything that we could possible do legally, we're covered on."
Still, the couple worries about the political climate in Indiana. Some legislators have renewed their push for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage to be placed on the 2014 statewide ballot for ratification.
Only one more passage through both branches of the state legislature would make this happen. In 2011, the proposed amendment was approved for the first time with a vote of 70-26 in the House and of 40-10 in the Senate.
Recent polls suggest the majority of Hoosiers oppose such legislation. A November 2012 Ball State survey found that 54 percent of Indiana residents who were questioned disagreed with the amendment, with only 38 percent polled actually having said they were in favor of the prohibition.
"We pay taxes, yet we don't have any of the rights that other couples have. After all the things that have been going on in Indianapolis, it's made us feel very much not welcome living in this state," Kary said. "Why do we continue to live here and pay these bills and be a part of the community if we're not accepted for who we are?"
Bigotry is nothing new for the Southern Indiana pair. From early in their adult lives, people have made judgments about their characters based on their sexual orientation. Lori, who realized she was gay after graduating high, has lost friends after coming out.
"I never looked at any of my friends in that manner. That was never the case," Lori said. "Just because I am gay doesn't change who I am. I'm still the same person."
Kary confessed to a friend at the age of 17 that she was a lesbian. Soon, the whole school knew her secret.
"I had these questions and was trying to find my own identity and here I told a friend of mine that I grew up with and the whole freaking school found out. So I had to grow up in a situation that I got picked upon," Kary said. "I got called dyke. I got called lesbian. I heard this walking down the hall every day."
While attitudes have changed for the better in recent years, anti-gay sentiment still is prevalent, Lori said, in the cities along the Ohio. The couple would like to have a child, but the adoption laws in Indiana worry them. So much so that Lori and Kary have talked about moving to one of the 13 states that allow same-sex marriage where they hope their child would grow up without being stigmatized.
"If there was a way people could see it from a different side of the coin and actually put their feet in those shoes, they might have a different level of respect," Kary said. "I think if a lot of people would stop making those judgments… and were a little more open-minded, it wouldn't be such a big deal. What does it matter who I sleep with?"

OTTUMWA — Chris Gravett has resigned as the head coach of the Ottumwa boys basketball team.
Gravett has coached the team for five seasons. This year's record was 2-20, with the team losing its first postseason game earlier this week.
The statement from the school district:
Ottumwa High School boys varsity basketball coach, Chris Gravett, is stepping down after completing his fifth season as head coach.
Gravett, the father of three children under the age of five, wants to spend more time with his kids. "I want to be a full-time dad," said Gravett. "This will allow me to spend more time with my family. I will always be an Ottumwa guy," he said. "I want to teach here and I want my kids to grow up here."
An Ottumwa native, OHS graduate and letter winner, Gravett began his teaching career in 2003 and currently teaches sixth grade math and science at Evans Middle School. He also started coaching basketball and freshman football that year. He became the district¹s head coach in 2008.
"I appreciate the time he devoted to our basketball program and value his decision," said Supintendent Davis Eidahl. "Coach Gravett will continue to have a positive impact in the classroom as a very talented teacher. I'm excited for the time Chris will have loving and growing his family."

Quinoa Soup – Sopa de Quinua (Peru)Monday, January 2nd, 2012
Chicken Soup with Quinoa
Midtown Atlanta is home to a terrific bistro featuring the cuisines of South and Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico. Over the years, Tierra (Flavor of the Americas) Restaurant has received glowing reviews for serving the traditional dishes from these regions. Unfortunately, they have decided to close their doors on February 17, 2012 and will be missed.
During a recent dinner at Tierra, I savored their soup of the day: quinoa soup. The Inca's knew what they were doing when they called quinoa 'the mother of all grains.' This traditional Peruvian dish can withstand the scrutiny of any chicken noodle soup. Who needs matzah balls when you can enjoy quinoa.
I've done my best to re-create Tierra's Sopa de Quinua. Hope you enjoy the healthy, hearty flavors.
Quinoa Soup ala Tierra
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 onions, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 – 6 cups of chicken broth
- 1 zucchini, cut in bite sized cubes
- 2 medium potatoes, cut in bite sized cubes
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup of diced celery 0r 1 can of corn kernels (drained)
- 1/2 cup of quinoa, rinsed
- salt and pepper to taste
- zest from one lemon (approx 2 teaspoons)
- parsley or cilantro as garnish, optional
- In a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium heat, saute the onions until tender and softened (but do not brown) about 10 minutes. Add the bay leaf, oregano and garlic.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and add the vegetables* and quinoa. Allow to simmer covered for 3o minutes; stirring occasionally. Add lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the bay leaf and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Mama Says Note*: I par cooked the cubed potatoes separately to avoid releasing starches into the soup. Once par cooked, drain the potatoes and add to the soup during the final 10 minutes of simmering. I also used a drained can of corn kernels in place of the celery.

Annie was born and raised in Northwest Indiana with her younger sister and parents in Hammond. After spending some time out of the area chasing the radio dream she has moved back to start a family with her two main men: Jager the mutt and fiance Rob. When she is not on the air Annie enjoys cheering her favorite Chicago sports teams (Da Bears, Da Bulls, And Da Sox), hiking, and exploring new fairs and festivals! (Anything Deep Fried she's in!) Annie cannot wait to share her life with you on air and is excited to be back in the Region doing what she loves!
The Whiting Elks club had another successful Christmas Dinner thanks in part to its numerous volunteers who showed up to serve on Christmas Day! (I just feel thankful I got to be a part of it!!!) More than a hundred sailors from the Great Lakes Naval Academy enjoyed food and entertainment in their home away from home yesterday. Many enjoyed phone calls home and spent time checking their Facebook on computers! (They aren't allowed phones/computers while in bootcamp) Could you last that long without those conveniences? I know I couldn't!!!
It was heartwarming to see how thankful this young men and women were just for a break from their "chow". It was amazing how young they all were, yet so mature! Some had young children and wives at home, some just wanted to talk to mom and dad. Either way it was a nice break from seeing all the negativity in the news! A big thanks to everyone who volunteered their time on Christmas! It is the season of giving you know!!! Hope your holiday was just as amazing as mine!
Oh and congratulations to all the sailors on their graduation this week!!!

Garden Angel
As I've mentioned before I'm drawn to copper, and this garden angel falls nicely into that category. She's just a couple of doors up the street from us so I don't have to be envious; I can see her whenever I want. (I'm a little bit envious anyway.)

CHARLOTTE — The average NFL game includes about 120 individual plays.
But coaches often says each game can be whittled down to three to five plays that determine the outcome, and either his team made the plays, or it didn't.
With a 1-3 record, the Carolina Panthers haven't made enough plays so far. From dropped touchdowns to miscommunications to breakdowns on defense, the plays that matter have mostly gone against the Panthers.
Coach Ron Rivera has said repeatedly that the missed opportunities haven't come down to a particular player.
"We had opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them," Rivera said Monday following Carolina's 22-6 loss at Arizona. "Whether we dropped a ball, missed a throw, missed a block, we missed a cut, we missed a tackle, we didn't fit our gap. And that's disappointing.
"The hard part is, again, it comes back to not necessarily being just one spot or one individual or one group. And that's the part that's hard. If it was, it could be fixed immediately. Now it's about making sure that we continue to push forward and work on those things and get better."
Here's a deeper look at 12 plays – three from each game – that have led to the Panthers' 1-3 record:
Week 1 vs. Seattle (a 12-7 loss)
• Second and 10 at the Carolina 43, 10:21 left in the fourth quarter: Carolina's defense had held a potent Seattle offense without a touchdown for more than three quarters before Russell Wilson found Jermaine Kearse down the sideline for a 43-yard touchdown. Seattle receiver Stephen Williams ran a similar route on the previous play against starting cornerback Josh Thomas but couldn't come up with the catch. Wilson attacked Thomas again, and the third-year corner failed to push his receiver toward Charles Godfrey for safety help. Kearse's catch gave Seattle a 12-7 lead.
• Second and 2, Seattle 24, 5:34 left in the fourth quarter: DeAngelo Williams had rushed for 70 yards, leading all rushers up to that point, but it would be a costly fumble with the Panthers driving to take the lead that would matter. Williams gained 16 yards to inside the Seattle 10 before Earl Thomas punched the ball out of Williams' grasp. The Seahawks recovered.
• Third and 3, Seattle 15, 4:35 left in the fourth quarter: Carolina had two timeouts plus the 2-minute warning, and a stop give the offense a final chance. Doug Baldwin rubbed off a fellow receiver and beat cornerback Captain Munnerlyn for a 13-yard reception and a first down. Seattle held on for the final 5:25 to win the game.
Week 2 at Buffalo (a 24-23 loss)
• Second and 16 at the Buffalo 26, 12:04 left in the first quarter: Carolina drove 48 yards in six plays against the Buffalo defense to start the game, but Newton was sacked on first down. Newton never took his eyes off his primary receiver on second down, and Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso made a diving interception at the Bills' 19.
• Fourth and 1 at the Buffalo 21, 1:42 left in the fourth quarter: After a third-and-5 rush by Mike Tolbert came up one yard short, the Bills used their final timeout. If Carolina got the yard, the Panthers could kneel the game away, but Rivera elected to kick a field goal. Graham Gano's 39-yarder put Carolina up 23-17, and put the game in the hands of the defense, which would have to contain rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel from scoring a touchdown.
• Second and 1 at the Carolina 2, six seconds left in the fourth quarter: With Buffalo needing a touchdown to win, reserve cornerback D.J. Moore, in the game because of four injuries in the Carolina secondary, can be seen motioning to Josh Norman to switch the receivers each was covering. Norman said he didn't get the signal, and wide receiver Stevie Johnson was left wide open for the touchdown catch. Norman hasn't been active for a game since.
Week 3 vs. N.Y. Giants(a 38-0 win)
• Fourth and 1 at the New York 2, 2:38 left in the 1st quarter: The Panthers came up just short of a first-and-goal on a pass to Greg Olsen. Rivera kept his offense on the field, and Mike Tolbert went off right end into the end zone, giving the Panthers a 7-0 lead against the Giants in a game both teams badly needed to win.
• Third and 3 at the New York 45, 15:00 left in the second quarter: The Giants had gotten the ball back after a punt hit Panthers special teamer Richie Brockel near midfield in a "here we go again" moment for many Panthers fans. But rookie defensive tackle Kawann Short busted up the middle to get the sack – one of Carolina's seven that day – and forced the Giants to punt.
• First and 10 at the Carolina 30, 13:41 left in the third quarter: Carolina was up 17-0 going into halftime, but the coaching staff knew it had to step on the Giants' neck to avoid a Giants comeback. DeAngelo Williams' 27-yard rush went a long way to asserting that dominance. His rush to the left end was led by guard Amini Silatolu, and tight end Greg Olsen provided solid blocking downfield. Carolina would later score.
Week 5 at Arizona (a 22-6 loss)
• Third and 3 at the Arizona 4, 7:35 left in 1st quarter: Newton was playing well on the first drive of the game, going 5-for-5 for 70 yards. Steve Smith made a quick inside move and used Brandon LaFell to screen his defender when Newton fired a sure touchdown pass into Smith's sure hands – except Smith dropped it. It'd be one of four drops on the day for Carolina receivers, including a crucial fourth-down drop by LaFell later. Smith would later say the entire game changed on his drop.
• Third and 5 at the Arizona 29, 15:00 left in the second quarter: Karlos Dansby's delayed blitz up the middle dropped Newton for a loss of 11 yards and put Carolina out of field-goal range. A conversion could have meant an eventual touchdown, but anything but taking the sack would have nearly guaranteed a Gano field goal and a 6-0 lead over Arizona.
• Kickoff, 5:48 left in third quarter: The game's first touchdown had put Arizona up 10-6 when Jordan Senn committed one of nine Carolina penalties on the day. He and Chase Blackburn were blocking Alfonso Smith on a kickoff that would be a touchback, pushing Smith to the ground. The referees called a personal foul and backed Carolina up 10 yards. Two plays later, Newton was sacked for a safety.
