Recipe definitely has potential, but needs a couple tweeks... If I were to make again I would saute the celery before adding to stuffing and add more sausage as 4 oz is not enough for this huge pan of stuffing. My stuffing also needed 4 cups of stock or else it would have been too dry. I did leave out cilantro because my family doesn't care for it. It's worth trying though and overall I thought it was tasty.
This recipe is now on the permanent list for Thanksgiving dinners. In addition to the butternut squash, I added summer squash and also water chestnuts for a little bit of crunch. I left out the sausage... just a personal preference. I also used some of the leftover juice from the turkey to moisten up the dish a bit. This dish was probably our favorite on the table this year. And it makes a lot - the leftovers are great!
I really liked the flavors and it was an excellent way to encourage the picky members of my family to eat their vegetables. Made with the 'Easy Mexican Fried Chicken' on this site. Yum!

For a healthy relationship to exist, clear boundaries must be established and respected.
When trust is lost, controlling behaviors can be the result, and may lead to domestic violence – even death. January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and this year's theme is "Stalking: Know it. Name it. Stop it."
According to statistics compiled by the National Center for Victims of Crime, every year, 6.6 million people living in the U.S. experience a stalking situation. One in six women and one in 19 men have been the victim of stalking at some time in their lifetime, where they feared for their safety or that of someone close to them.
Stalking is considered a crime in all 50 states, as well as in the U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.
The seriousness and impact of stalking remains underestimated, due in part to the difficulty of recognizing, investigating and prosecuting those who have become stalkers.
Help-in-Crisis Sexual Assault Services Coordinator Sandra Dearborn said a "silent witness event" is held every October to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and many of the men, women and children who were victims of domestic violence often experienced stalking before the situation escalated to fatal results. Red silhouettes of the victims are used to represent these people.
"Many of them were stalking victims first. Stalking can be dangerous because it can, and often does, lead to death," she said. "And many times it's murder, then suicide. Then if the children are there, he's going to kill the children, too. Men are not the only stalkers, but they are probably [account for] 90 percent. It's really a dangerous thing."
By legal definition, stalking varies from one jurisdiction to another, but a good working definition of stalking is a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.
Stalking can take many forms, like assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary, animal abuse, unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits, according to www.StalkingAwarenessMonth.org.
One in four people who experience stalking report the unwanted behavior being linked to use of technology, such as text messaging, social networking websites, global positioning system devices or hidden cameras. There is no standard psychological profile for stalkers, and many follow their victims from one jurisdiction to another, which makes it a challenge for law officials to investigate and prosecute the stalker.
Dearborn said the length of time stalking can occur is alarming, and noted some past history of stalking on college campuses.
"The average length of time a college student is stalked is two years and three months. Now that was several years ago, but if that's an average for a college student – and they're only in college four years – that's half of their college experience," she said. "What does that do to a person's psyche?"
The Northeastern State University Police Department takes stalking cases seriously, and the main goal when dealing with a reported stalking situation is to give the victim peace of mind that everything possible is being done to protect he or she from harm, said Detective Sgt. Jim Flores.
"Stalking is a serious, potentially life-threatening crime. Even in its less severe forms, it permanently changes the lives of the people who are victimized by this crime, as well as affecting their friends, families and co-workers," he said. "When someone reports [she is] a victim of a stalking crime, we immediately take action by documenting the incident."
According to Flores, regardless of whether a crime has been committed, the NSU Police department requires officers to document each and every act.
"It is vitally important to document these incidents, because in order to be able to arrest or obtain a protective order against the suspect, the stalking law requires that the acts of the suspect must be 'willful, malicious,' and more importantly, the suspect must 'repeatedly follow or harass' in a manner that would cause a person to feel 'frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed or molested,'" said Flores.
Recognizing what action or behavior that creates fear is important when documenting the situation.
"If somebody is calling me, say, 15 times in two minutes, that's going to make me afraid," said Dearborn.
"If somebody's going to drive by my house and cruise by and look and stare, maybe sit across the street, and they do that multiple times, that's going to make me afraid. And this can be between a girlfriend and boyfriend in middle school, high school, college, and it always ends up going into an intimate partner relationships for a husband and wife. Maybe they started with some bad habits back in middle school or junior high - all the way through [school] – and it escalates."
As Help-in-Crisis can be contacted for support and guidance by calling (918) 456-HELP (4357), Flores said members of the campus police will help the student victim establish connections with support services.
"If an officer has enough probable cause to make an arrest, we encourage him or her to do so. On top of that, officers are required by law to assist the victim with obtaining an order of protection," he said. "The NSU HawkReach Program will also be contacted by the officer."

The Tribune-Star
----- — The 97th running of the Indianapolis 500 and will be remembered as one of the best races in recent history.
It won't be memorable for a close finish but rather for a record 68 lead changes and 14 different drivers taking their turn at the front of the pack.
And, mainly, it will be for crowd favorite Tony Kanaan taking the lead on the 98th lap and winning under yellow for his first victory in 12 starts.
The fact that the race ended under yellow was about the only negative aspect of the race run in cool conditions. Izod IndyCar Series officials will review that situation.
Otherwise, there was fewer yellow-light time in the race since such information was first recorded in 1976. That fact helped Kanaan set a record of 187.433 miles per hour since there were so few yellow slow laps.
And there were no serious accidents, making it one of the safest months in history with only one incident recorded in the practice and qualifying time.
For the second year in a row, Marco Andretti led lots of laps — third most with 31 — but finished third. He assumed the lead in the series point totals and could be hard to beat for the championship. And he likely will end the Andretti Snakebite hex in the 500 some day.
Yes, he was my pick and the pick of many others to win the race.
One of the races on this week's schedule is the Hut Hundred for U. S. Auto Club midgets which was first run in 1952 in Terre Haute. This year's race is Friday at Tri-City Speedway at Pontoon Beach, Ill.
* * *
* Tough team — Clay City, Linton and South Vermillion all won softball sectional titles and were slated to vie for regional honors on Tuesday.
Linton had the toughest assignment, facing Evansville Mater Dei, the top-ranked team in the final Class 2A poll.
Carolyn Wilmes struck out 16 batters when the Wildcats beat South Spencer in the sectional.
* * *
* College bound — More high school seniors have confirmed where they will attend college and continue athletics competition.
Two West Vigo athletes will play football: Ethan Boatman at Earlham and Chris Neidlinger at Hanover. Fellow West Vigo senior Cameron Crooks will play baseball at Indiana Tech.
R.J. Miller of North Central will compete in football and track at Bluffton.
Cloverdale golfer Sydney Shrum recently was honored as the top Putnam County Female Athlete of the Year. She earlier made plans to play college golf at Valparaiso.
* * *
* Tom-Cattin' It — Forest Park has a new tournament on the schedule this weekend, a two-man senior scramble open to players 50 years of age or older.
* One of the "other players" responsible for Miami taking a 2-1 lead over Indiana in its NBA Eastern Division series is Chris Andersen. He was 13-for-13 from the field going into Tuesday's game that loomed large for the Pacers.
Miami wasn't likely to play as well as the Heat played in the first half Sunday night, scoring 70 points and shooting better than 60 percent.
* Mike Carpenter is the new men's basketball coach at Wabash Valley Junior College.
His teams won 139 games in seven seasons at Danville Area Communithy College including a school-record 28 last season.
* Bloomington North was on quite a roll going into the baseball tournament. The Cougars knocked off No. 1-ranked Floyd Central for its 18th straight victory in the regular-season finale.

If you were driving on the rainy roads in Greenville Friday, you know it was a nightmare. The threat of flooding was enough to raise concern for everyone. Roads were drenched and water was pooling in Greenville following the heavy rains. Traffic was slowed during the early morning hours. Highway patrolmen reported only one accident on Highway 264 related to the weather.

Kwame Brown's deal with the Warriors will be for one year, $7 million, league source tells Y!— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) December 13, 2011
Via Twitter, Adrian Wojnarowski announces that Kwame Brown has signed a one year deal with the Golden State Warriors for $7 million over one year.
Well folks, our bench just got a bit more interesting. With Diop out, we've got Kwame and Nazr as our centers. Our committee at center, never that great to begin with, has now dwindled further. Say what you will about Diop, but I do feel bad this has happened to him after his good play under Silas. Interesting trade implications, hm?

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2012
Comments, questions and tips
I'm surprised so many people think this is a nice meal - it was tasteless and very dry. I followed the recipe exactly, and there was not nearly enough sauce (the only liquid is 1 tbsp water and 2 tbsp soy sauce, some of which obviously evaporates as the dish cooks). The taste was very bland, the only flavour coming from the soy sauce (of which there was not enough). Truly one of the worst stir fries I've ever tried. And using green mangetout and green pepper provides no colour contrast .
This is wonderfully quick and very tasty. I used Agave Syrup instead of honey and substituted 1 tbsp of Soy sauce with 1 tbsp of chinese vinegar. The vinegar thins the sauce slightly, as suggested in previous comments and gives a good sharpness to compliment the gingers wamth.
I'll definately be trying this again!
Tried this tonight and it was a bit hit.
I used babycorn, sweet peppers and mushrooms instead of mangetout and I added five spice to the pork before frying. I also poured sesame oil on the cooked noodles instead of using salt in the water.
A tip to those who found this to be salty; don't put salt in the poodle water and make sure to use dark soy sauce not light as light is much saltier.
Will be making again... just my way!

Colleen Kilanowski has applied what she's learned at work, at the UB Childhood Weight Control Program, to her home life in Depew. (Charles Lewis/Buffalo News)
This week's What are you eating subject in WNY Refresh is Colleen Kilanowski of Depew, a Lancaster High School grad with bachelor's and master's degrees from the University at Buffalo who helps run the UB Childhood Weight Control Program.
She and her colleague, Distinguished UB Teaching Pediatrics Professor Leonard H. Epstein, are recruiting for the next six-month stint of the program, which helps parents and their overweight children, aged 8 to 12, adopt healthier lifestyles. To participate, call 829-6697 or email email@example.com.
There is eligibility criteria for the program, but it is not rigorous. Groups meet on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings.
Epstein, a leading international authority on childhood obesity, runs the parent groups and Kilanowski runs the kid groups.
"It teaches behavioral change, focusing on eating and activity, along with parenting," Kilanowski tells me.
Folks from across the region have participated in the ongoing program, which has been around more than a dozen years.
"The program is at the University at Buffalo South Campus," Kilanowski says, "but we've had kids and parents come from as far as Dunkirk."
An orientation will take place later this month and again in August.
Kilanowski practices at home what she preaches at work.
Her three children all love seafood, as well as most vegetables and bison, turkey and chicken.
"It depends on the kid," she says. "One daughter likes any kind of pasta, one would eat anything and my son is a big meat eater."
But she does temper their food desires with a balanced diet.
"Whatever is served for dinner is dinner," Kilanowski said, "and they've learned that."
The family does occasionally eat something on the questionable side of nutrition.
Mom, for instance, loves cheesecake. She treats herself to it about three times a year.
The family used to have pizza once a week, but less frequently these days.
"The kids got sick of it," she says.

- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the slivered almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, because they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, and sugar in a large salad bowl. Stir in the bacon bits and Parmesan cheese until the dressing is well combined and creamy.
- Place the spinach leaves, chopped cauliflower, and toasted almonds into the salad bowl, and stir lightly to coat with dressing.

Made this for a Father's day get together and received all positive reviews. I didn't make any substitutions (I find it annoying when someone reviews a recipe with 10 changes - is it really still the recipe??) Anyway, this is a delicious salad.
Amazing salad! In-law aproved too! I use home raised bacon instead of bacon bits, though i did use the bits one time while we were camping. The real stuff is 100000 times better. Cant compare to real bacon vs the jarred stuff. i usually just use 5 oz of spinach and only pour 1/2 the dressing in. but if making the full 10 oz, then you would need all the dressing. I also make the cauliflower into small pieces..like size of penny or less & toss out any of the stalk so its all just the head. easy to make ahead too. cook the bacon, store in seperate container in fridge. break apart all the cauli..put in large bowl..add the spinach. store in fridge. make the dressing in jar & add parmesan..shake & store in fridge. toast almonds, cool, store in fridge..then when dinners ready, take it all out & combine. 6 stars!!!!!!!
I made this but didn't have the cauliflower so I added boiled eggs instead. Everyone loved it. I would highly recommend this recipe

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness is all about paying attention -- learning to spend more time focused on what is happening in the present moment, in an open and accepting manner. One major source of stress is being preoccupied with events of the past or future we have no control over. You can help manage stress by living more fully in the present. This 90 minute program will introduce some simple mindfulness practices you can incorporate into daily life to be more attentive to life on a moment-by-moment basis. Mindfulness-based stress reduction was originally developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and is now taught on a world-wide basis.

Senate leaders have reversed course and decided to stage showdown votes on rival Democratic and Republican plans for extending broad tax cuts next year that will otherwise expire in January.
The Senate planned to hold back to back roll calls later Wednesday, with each bill requiring just a simple majority for passage. Until now, the Senate had planned to vote only on the Democratic bill under rules requiring 60 votes for it to prevail -- a number Democrats would not be able to reach.
There are 51 Democrats and two independents who usually support them. A defeat of the Democratic bill would be an embarrassment to party leaders.
There are 47 Republicans in the Senate, and their measure seems certain to fail.

According to Wyoming legislators and legislative staff, there are several organizations out there that provide research, data and even model legislation to legislatures and legislators throughout the country. These include: [...]Read the Full Article [1]
The Progressive Legislative Action Network's (PLAN) mission is "to pass progressive legislation in all fifty states by providing coordinated research and strategic advocacy tools to forward-thinking state legislators." Headquarters is New York, NY. Founded in 2005 with the backing of several unions, activist groups and progressive legislators -- essentially an anti-ALEC.[...] ALEC and PLAN have definite tilts to the right and the left, respectively, though claims of bipartisanship are undercut by ALEC being predominately Republican in orientation, while PLAN is predominately Democratic. ALEC, which claims 2,400 legislator members, charges legislators $100 per biennium to join (constituting less than 2 percent of the annual budget), but then charges corporations (over 300) and associations graduated memberships at $5,000; $10,000; $25,000 and $50,000 to sit at the table with legislators and craft "model" legislation. Corporate funds underwrite travel scholarships, by which legislators and their families can attend national meetings. ALEC's corporate members have a keen interest in the bills that they craft. For example, model legislation for "three strikes" and "minimum sentencing" -- laws to keep convicted criminals in prison longer nwas partially crafted by the Corrections Corporation of America, the nation's largest private prison organization, when it sat on ALEC's Criminal Justice Task Force. PLAN's officers are divided between New York and Helena, Montana. The organization is co-chaired by Steve Doherty, the former Minority Leader of the Montana Senate, and David Sirota, a Fellow at the Center for American Progress. PLAN's kickoff event last August was co-sponsored by, among others, Moveon.org, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the United Steelworkers of America, and progressive philanthropists Andy and Deborah Rappaport. Too new to be called an opposite mirror of ALEC, PLAN is striving to build networks among progressive legislators and activist groups, and develop model legislation.

The Buffalo ensemble, founded in 1934 and previously led by luminaries like Michael Tilson Thomas, Julius Rudel and Lukas Foss, came this year with a program suited to any concert-music connoisseur. JoAnn Falletta, the orchestra's music director since 1999, paired two works that showed contrasting facets of life and art in the Soviet Union: "Morning Prayers," by the contemporary Georgian composer Giya Kancheli, and the Russian composer Reinhold Glière's Symphony No. 3 ("Ilya Muromets").

As was this picture by the photographer taking pictures for The News, Keith Bedford.
Kudos again to our orchestra for a job well done.
We made a noise in the world!

Britain heads toward triple dip as GDP falls 0.3%
by David Campbell on Jan 25, 2013 at 09:35
Britain was teetering on the edge of an unprecedented triple dip recession at the end of 2012 as GDP growth fell by 0.3%, as the post-Olympic bounce faded.
'The 0.3% drop was a bit worse than the consensus forecast for a 0.1% fall and meant that GDP in 2012 as a whole was flat,' said Capital Economics chief UK economist Vicky Redwood.
The first draft of the Q4 output showed service sector output flat over the three months, following 1.2% growth between August and October.
This was dragged downward by industrial production, which fell 1.8%. Some levelling off in was apparent in construction output after a sustained slump earlier in the year, with a rise of 0.3%.
'Admittedly, the drop primarily reflected the unwinding of the boost from the Olympics Games - we estimate that this probably knocked 0.3% to 0.4% off GDP in Q4,' added Redwood. 'But even accounting for that, underlying output still looks as though it is just stagnating.'
The threat of recession resuming after the Q3 Olympic bounce is unlikely to draw a significant policy response. The MPC was broadly positioned in expectation of a continued stagnation, although it may add to the weight of opinion supporting open-ended stimulus.
Chancellor George Osborne had already defended government policies and reiterated his determination to continue with fiscal consolidation, after the International Monetary Fund's head economist Olivier Blanchard called for a slowdown in the pace of cuts this week.

Excuse me but how exactly does somebody calculate these things ? Isn't there a margin of error on samples ? And I take it they've conveniently ignored inflation . Pity they don't ignore it in the real world when we buy things and pay energy bills .report this

Due to a shortage of drivers, full restoration of school bus service for Merced Union High School District students won't be possible this fall, as promised by district officials last spring.
Leonard Kahn, the district's assistant superintendent of business services, believes full service for students living more than 2½ miles from their campus will be implemented at some point during the 2013-2014 school year, once prospective part-time drivers are certified.
Thirty-one prospective drivers attended a July 9 informational meeting and 16 of them are attending the requisite 20-hour classroom training, to be followed by a 20-hour behind-the-wheel class, Kahn said.
All candidates who pass the classroom and behind-the-wheel training will be sponsored for the California Highway Patrol's certification exams. However, there is only one CHP officer assigned to school bus issues, so that may be the bottleneck in the process, Kahn said.
Travis Kirk, the district's director of facilities and transportation, is taking the classroom part of the bus driver training so he can be fully informed about the driving process.
"It's a great opportunity," Kirk said. "It's a job people can embrace. Some have been doing it (driving a school bus) for decades. They can make a positive connection with students."
Since June, the district has been seeking drivers willing to work a 3.75-hour day as a permanent part-time contractor, earning $15 to $16 an hour. Drivers will be contracted for 180 days a year and can be eligible to do extra driving for athletic teams, bands, drama and choir events on out-of-town activities, Kahn said.
Kirk said the need for bus drivers is greater than just the high school district. Kahn is hoping more drivers can be recruited and be part of a countywide hiring pool.
Willie Wohltman, vice president of California School Employees Association Chapter No. 252, doesn't think the high school district will have enough drivers to restore the 2½-mile radius pupil transportation until October or November.
Wohltman said the union initially wanted its drivers to be full time with benefits; MUHSD trustees furloughed 15 bus drivers nearly 18 months ago and cut back bus service to students living at least five miles from their campus.
In its bargaining with trustees earlier this year, CSEA members agreed to modify their contract and permit part-time drivers. Wohltman said the union made concessions, doing whatever was necessary to keep as many employees working as possible and provide more bus service.
Part-time bus drivers won't be able to support a family on what they make, Wohltman said.
The "carrot," he added, is the district offering extra pay for athletic events and special activities.
Full-time too expensive
Kahn said it would be very expensive to bring back full-time bus drivers. He is hoping the district will be able to partner with the Workforce Investment Board on bus driver training.
Merced Transportation is providing the classroom and behind-the-wheel training, Kahn said. He is hoping that classes that run continually that they will be able to create a pool of drivers for the district and other agencies.
Two part-time drivers are needed per route, one for morning and the other for afternoon routes. If 12 to 18 drivers can be hired, the 2½-mile service can be restored, Kahn said.
Kahn said more prospective bus drivers responded to the district's online and newspaper advertisements than anticipated. The district also had a school bus parked in front of Merced High School on West Olive Avenue with a large sign seeking bus drivers. The district office is still getting phone calls from people interested in driving a school bus.
"The assumption is made that not all 16 candidates will successfully complete the required components of training," Kahn said. "However, the training will continue at least quarterly throughout the year in order to develop a large pool of qualified-certified school bus drivers in the county."
Kahn said the area's high unemployment rate, coupled with the fact that some people aren't looking for full-time jobs, should make the bus driver jobs popular.
"If we can get some traction, that will not only serve our needs but the needs of other transportation agencies as well," Kahn said.
Kahn said community meetings to address transportation issues will be held early to mid-August.

CLINTON — A deep Bettendorf lineup was on display Monday night in Clinton.
During Game 2 of the Mississippi Athletic Conference softball doubleheader between the Bulldogs and River Queens, a 10-run fifth inning was punctuated by a Sarah Kennedy grand slam. It was Kennedy's second score of the frame, a no-out, no-doubt blast over the right-field fence, forcing Clinton to make its second pitching switch in the inning.
Clinton finally stopped the bleeding, retiring three of the next four batters, but by then the game was out of reach and a sweep under way. The River Queens lost both contests, 13-2 in Game 1 and 16-3 in Game 2. Both games ended early from the 10-run rule.
"We just seemed dead in the first game, dead in the second game," Clinton coach Trina Cewe said, adding that there seemed to be "lack of spirit" from the squad. "(Bettendorf is) a really good hitting team. There's a reason they're rated 10th in the state.
"But we didn't have good pitching performances either. ... Lapses on defense. We weren't aggressive with the bats, and when we were aggressive, (the ball) was out of the strike zone."
Clinton managed only six hits between both games. Bettendorf pitchers DoniRae Mayhew (Game 1) and Mackenzie Helgerson (Game 2) tallied six and nine strikeouts, respectively, through five-inning games. Offensively, the Bulldogs produced 14 and 16 hits, coming to a climax in the nightcap with nine hits in the fifth inning.
"Those are moments you're wanting to put up big numbers," Bettendorf coach Mark Lewis said. His team improved to 8-3 (4-2 MAC). "They sat on (Clinton's) pitchers pretty well and did a good job."
Bettendorf jumped on the board immediately in the opener. Kennedy, Maggie Williams, Abby Michaelis and Mayhew — the Bulldogs' 1-4 batters — each scored in the first inning. Mayhew sent down all three River Queen batters in the bottom half to maintain a 4-0 lead.

Before the 19th century, most Americans worked on Christmas. For generations, it was treated just like any other day.
Amid some of the most flagrant abuses of the federal government in our country's history, the Tea Party movement has emerged to give voice to Americans' frustration with Washington. It has energized thousands of voters to respond to out of control government spending and encroachment on American liberty.

In 1997, Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term where I served until 2002. It was a rewarding experience and I am proud of the good things we accomplished at the commission.
I am humbled. I am grateful. I am honored. And I am overwhelmed. I said it to the people who came to my 90th birthday celebration at Bethel, and I say it again to the many people who made that lovely celebration possible and to those who sent good wishes even if they couldn't attend.

I have said it before but it bears repeating: If I don't qualify for heaven (a distinct possibility), my preferred alternates are: (a.) Athens, Ga., on a crisp fall Saturday afternoon; (b.) Athens, Georgia, on a warm spring day or (c.) Athens, Georgia, on any day.
Before the start of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Billy Payne, the organization's CEO, reminded everyone that while much of the attention during the Games would be focused on the high-profile athletes, not to forget that all 10,000 athletes from the 107 countries represented were and would forever be Olympians - a title few people in the world would ever attain.

Three Seaford brothers have pleaded guilty to being part of an identify theft ring that "hijacked" store credit accounts and obtained more than $1 million.
The brothers, Mahmoud Abdul Hussein, 27, Ali Adbul Hussein, 33, and Fadal Abdul Hussein, 22, each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to produce false identification documents, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced. They each face a maximum potential sentence of 15 years in prison and are scheduled for sentencing on April 10.
Prosecutors said the Seaford brothers manufactured fake driver's licenses out of their storefront smoke shops in Manhattan's Greenwich Village that were secured by Phillip Smith of the Bronx. The identity theft ring, which prosecutors busted in January, was organized by Smith around 2008 when he obtained stolen identities, including the names and Social Security numbers of account holders at large retail chains like Home Depot, Sears, Kmart, and Kohl's, according to authorities.
Five other people also pled guilty to their involvement in the identify theft, which was broken up through a collaborative investigation between the offices of the New York State Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara and Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
"For more than three years, these defendants methodically victimized hundreds of New Yorkers in an elaborate scheme to line their own pockets," Attorney General Schneiderman said in a statement. "We will aggressively crack down on identity theft, and these guilty pleas send a message: Identity thieves will go to jail."
Defense attorneys for the Hussein brothers could not be reached for comment.

Historically, his power numbers at this age ranks among some of the best Twins sluggers.

The Man Who Shot Bin Laden Breaks His Silence
- By Dashiell Bennett

- Leave a comment
Phil Bronstein got the first interviews with the man who actually fired the bullets that killed Osama bin Laden—a man who is a hero to most Americans, but whose story since leaving the Navy has not been a happy one. Bronstein, the former editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, talked to multiple members of the Navy SEAL team that carried out the famous mission, and says he has confirmed the identify of the man who pulled the trigger, though he won't be revealing his name.
"The Shooter," as Bronstein refers to him in the piece, was a long-time veteran of the Navy who is well aware of the gravity of what he did, but is now forced to live a life of obscurity and financial instability after leaving the military with almost nothing to show for his heroic deeds. Bronstein's story adds a ton of fascinating first-person details about the mission to kill bin Laden, taken directly from the man who was the last to see him alive. But perhaps, even more interesting than the raid, is the fate of those who lived to tell about it.
Unlike Matt Bissonette, the outed SEAL teammate who immediately wrote a book about his story, The Shooter has avoided any attempts to cash in on his fame—partly because of "the code of the 'quiet professional'" and partly because he fears reprisals from terrorists should his identity become known. His wife, who he is separated from, and kids are considering changing their names to legally distance themselves from The Shooter. He also taught her how to use a shotgun, should she have to defend herself in an attack. But The Shooter, mired in anonymity, finds himself out of work and unable to use his most marketable asset to his advantage.

Washington Auto Show: Green Technology Officially Mainstream
The Washington Auto Show included hybrid and alternative fuel models from all major car makers.
This is a guest post by U.S. News production coordinator Leandro Oliva.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the annual Washington Auto Show, where I scoured the showroom floor looking for green technology in the current and upcoming lineup of cars for the 2010/11 model year. While the auto show here in D.C. is not known to be the first place automakers unveil their new designs in the U.S. (that honor is usually reserved for the Detroit and L.A. Auto shows), there was nonetheless a very strong showing in alternative fuel and hybrid-electric models.
Among the American car makers, Ford carries the distinction of having its midsized Fusion Hybrid as the North American Car of the Year, offering a sedan with a very respectable 41 MPG city/36 hwy, powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery and a 2.5L Atkinson Cycle I-4 engine. While the 'rental car' styling of the Fusion is simply on par with the Toyota Camry and other vehicles in its class, there are thoughtful green features, such as its 100 percent "earth friendly" yarn upholstery and the use of recycled materials within the interior, which make it an appealing purchase for eco-minded consumers. Also on display were Ford's other hybrid vehicles, including those offered by its sister brand, Mercury. These include the small-sized SUV, the Escape, and its Mercury variant, the Mariner. Both models remain almost unchanged for 2010, with the exception of a few additional equipment offerings.
Meanwhile, GM showcased its entry into the widening hybrid segment with the Chevy Volt, and its upmarket cousin, the Converj Cadillac concept vehicle, first introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2009. While the striking concept model will likely never see the light of day, it is a good sign of things to come from GM and Cadillac, as it demonstrates a mature understanding of where hybrid technology is headed. Among the more interesting technology demonstrated by the Converj is its organic LED (OLED) displays, the adaptive charging system--which can replenish the vehicle's battery at 120v in eight hours (less than three hours at 240 v) while avoiding the electric grid's busiest and most expensive peak times--as well as the absence of side-view mirrors, which are instead replaced by small electronic cameras, which help to reduce the vehicle's drag and up efficiency. And yet, as GM's representative breezily remarked during a presentation of the vehicle, the sleek and aggressive lines of the Converj belie its true, practical nature as a mere 40-mile "electric commuter"--meaning, if you're looking for a high performance electric sports car from GM, one may look elsewhere (you can try Tesla, but not for much longer).
While in the U.S. automakers seem to have concentrated on biofuel and hybrid drivetrains, European brands such as Audi, Mercedes and BMW instead offered a wide array of diesel vehicles at the Washington Auto Show. Diesel technology has long struggled to gain a foothold within the American car market, though it's been far more popular in Europe for decades now. With the push for increased efficiency and limits on CO2 emissions in the last few years, European brands have responded by offering " clean diesel" alternatives, which offer good performance and decreased emissions. If differentiating between the environmental benefits of hybrid vehicles versus "clean diesel" technology seems confusing, consider the fact that the 2010 "Green Car of the Year" was the Audi A3 TDI, competing against such vehicles as the Honda Insight hybrid, the Mercury Milan Hybrid, and the Toyota Prius. In a lot of ways, clean diesel can be considered a practical alternative to existing hybrid vehicles, which can often tack on thousands of dollars (about nine thousand depending on trim, in the case of the Ford Fusion Hybrid) over their standard gasoline variants. Moreover, considering the totally eye-watering price tags on European auto-makers' hybrid models--such as 89K for BMW's Active Hybrid X6, or 107K for an Active Hybrid 750Li--clean diesel could be considered the only environmentally focused option for most consumers of European imports at this time.
Meanwhile, as the third generation of Toyota's popular hybrid vehicle, the Prius, continues on its successful run, the brand is still tempting American consumers with its plug-in variant at the DC Auto Show, since its debut in Los Angeles late last year. What is the difference between the Plug-in Hybrid vehicle (PHV) and the conventional Prius currently on the road? Well, aside from the obvious -- the plug-in Prius can be hooked up to your power grid for a charge-up -- the PHV version offers far greater all-electric cruising: 13 miles versus the current 1 mile limit. Toyota has already announced plans to offer an affordable plug-in Prius to consumers by 2011, and it has touted "triple-digit" fuel cell economy (134 mpg according to Toyota's display; that's pretty solid). Undoubtedly, increased competition in the hybrid segment from a newly aggressive Honda, Nissan, Ford and GM have pushed the Japanese automaker to offer concrete plans on the PHV model, as it seeks to maintain its lead with green auto technology. Undoubtedly, as with the current Prius (so far), the pedals will be issue-free on this model.
Probably the best looking of the upcoming hybrids comes from Honda, in the form of the 2011 CR-Z, a vehicle which borrows a lot of the spirit of the much beloved, sneaker-shaped CR-X, along with some design out of the trend setting electric with the not-so-beloved looks, the first generation Insight. The CR-Z is slated to go on sale in the U.S. in late 2010, and is meant to offer a sportier but affordable alternative to its family-oriented competitors.
Now, as with all car shows, DC's also featured a few wackier concept entries, the most interesting of which was Hyundai's Blue-Will. The Korean automaker is touting the Blue-Will as a 'test bed' of new ideas, and offers some unique green concepts, including a thermal generator which converts the vehicle's hot exhaust gases into electric power. Hyundai claims that a production version of the Blue-Will would have a range of 20 to 40 miles strictly on battery power (lithium polymer), with advances in light materials, solar roof panel and reduced drag with the absence of side-view mirrors all helping the vehicle's total fuel efficiency. As with the Cadillac Converj, the take-away from the Washington Auto Show is that automakers seem to be embracing that magical 40 mile range as a standard target for electric-only mode, this being the distance most drivers in the U.S. travel on their daily commutes.
All in all, there was a lot to like about the environmental technology offerings from all major car makers. While only a few years ago electric and hybrid vehicles would have been relegated to the sparsely attended geek-mobile section showcasing models from Aptera or TH!NK, consumers now have the option to go green with their vehicle purchases at practically every price level, vehicle category, and from essentially all car makers. If you'd like to learn more about the sustainable technology that was showcased at the Washington Auto Show, you can visit their website's Advanced Technology Superhighway section. Be sure to check out offerings from the smaller car makers, such as Wheego Electric Vehicles, which unveiled its first "full speed," all-electric Wheego Whip Li at the Washington Auto Show.

Gang member gets nine years in prison in Santa Rosa kidnap case
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 11:40 a.m.
The last of four men involved in a gang-related abduction and torture that led to the killing of the victim's brother in a Sonoma Coast beach parking lot was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison.
Dundo Xayyaphay, 24, of Merced, received the punishment in the 2008 kidnapping of Terry Au by members of the Asian Boyz gang. He and the three other defendants beat and tortured Au, burning his face with cigarettes and threatening to cut off his fingers, over his refusal to sell drugs for them.
After Au testified against the men, his brother, Vutha Au, 24, was shot and killed in the Blind Beach parking lot in what prosecutors said was an act of reprisal.
In June, jurors convicted Vutha Au's four killers of first-degree murder. They are serving life in prison.
Xayyaphay's Santa Rosa co-defendants also are behind bars. Perry Khaoone was sentenced to more than 18 years in prison and his brother Pongssony Khaoone got 15 years. A third man, Boonlack Phanchanh, received 13 years.

Partying w/ Terje at TAC 2009
The best part of TAC is the fact that being a rider or staff member of the event, one gets to live the life of snowboard legend Terje Haakonsen. TAC is truly about enjoying life as Mr. Haakonsen sees and experiences the world, which is a very special thing indeed. Unlike most contests that are all about, "Flights, Contest Formats and Hotel Rooms," says Terje. "We want the riders to experience more and stay fresh, whether that is days off skating, playing some football or just enjoying the city they are visiting."
So for the past two years, Terje and TAC have delivered on what is now infamously called "The Blond Avalanche Party". Basically it's the riders, TAC and Oakley Staff (60 people) getting crazy with 300 plus VIP females (who wait for two hours to get into the party), where about 90% of them have blond hair and would all be 10s in your hometown.
Anyway, I will leave it to the bloggers and endemic sites to deliver the goods on what goes down… as this is Oakley.com. But I would like to thank the master of photography, Craig Wetherby for letting us post his G10 shots from the nights activities. It's amazing Craig even had time to snap such photos, but thankfully for you he did.
See you next year "Blond Avalanche Party" at Cosmo.

Thanks so much to Pam for pointing out the crazy, here.
Can't read it.
It's behind the pay wall.
While we're at it, can a KNS
(in reply to Min)
While we're at it, can a KNS subscriber tell us what Ms. Hayes is venting about? (link...)
Teachers' constitutional rights perhaps? Is she complaining about them about complaining about Huffman and Haslam? Or is it something else?
(in reply to AnonymousOne)
Hayes' comments don't focus on any teachers in TN.
She's citing by locale examples of teachers nationwide who've used pretty poor judgment concerning their use of social media--everything from sharing suggestive photos of themselves to berating publicly the students enrolled in their own classrooms.
Even advocates like you and me have to agree that the teachers in her examples deserved to be disciplined and/or fired (and they were).
What do you know, sometimes
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
What do you know, sometimes the glasss is half full. Social media use by caseworkers talking about some of their clients, not by name but identifiable none the less, have resulted in their dismissal. But all the teachers I know who use Facebook talk about their own kids in their home and the profession of teaching in general. Thanks for the info.

PORTLAND -- There seems to be a new type of energy or breakfast bar every time you go to the store, and they're very popular with parents looking for a quick snack for the kids.
How do you make a healthy choice?
A Dietitian at Portland's Randall Children's Hospital described what she looks for.
"My preference is to go with foods that you recognize, nuts, seeds, fruits, natural ingredients like honey and maple syrup. If it's not something you'd find on a store shelf, it's not the best choice," said Tara Jones as she stood in the aisle of a local New Seasons.
Simply scanning the shelves won't give you the answers you need. Jones said you need to skip over the nutrition facts panel, which often appears first and find the ingredients.
She read from the Lara Bar to demonstrate.
" Dates, almonds and unsweetened apples," Jones said. She liked what she saw on the label and said it's why she chooses the Lara Bar for her own 4-year-old.
She skips the breakfast type granola based bars.
"For the most part, they tend to be pretty sweet, lower in protein and a lot lower in fiber," she said.
The Cliff bar or Luna bars are moderate to OK choices but she pointed out they contain things you won't recognize.
"Soy protein isolate," she read from the label. "There are some additives that are used to basically hold the bars together."
Her best advice she said is to make your own bars with what you find in the bulk food aisle. She suggests a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruit and using honey or maple syrup to bind them together.
"Whenever you make anything on your own, it's always going to be a better choice," she concluded.

By Mindy Albright, CCRC – ICISF Member and Approved Instructor
April 15th 2013 was a day I will never forget. I was in Boston teaching at Regis College, a sunny spring day and our class was going well until phones started resounding alerts, mine included. Something horrible had happened.
It was 2:49 pm, two pressure cooker bombs hidden in backpacks exploded within 13 seconds of each other, sending shrapnel tearing through the packed crowd near the Boston Marathon's finish line on Boylston Street.
Immediately two of the students in the class informed me they were members of the Boston Crisis Response Team and placed a call to inform their team that my partner and I were available to assist.
The only information we had at that time was, two bombs had gone off and many were injured. The final impact of the crisis was four dead, sixteen limbs lost, and 264 injured. Although, that does not account for those with unseen wounds. As we are all aware this event will never be erased from the minds and hearts of those present that day.
As we entered the bomb site, our intent to be available to assist many of the runners and first responders that were in the Boylston Street area was our first priority. Chaos was still present, though the emergent situation of the day had calmed a bit…

CBP Officers Announce Record Drug Busts
By Marco Grajeda
Las Cruces, NM – More than 3.3 million pounds of illegal narcotics were confiscated along the U.S./ Mexico Border during a nine-month period, a 64 % increase compared to the previous year, according to federal officials. As KRWG's Marco Grajeda reports, officials credit an increase in personnel and new strategies for the jump in confiscations.

NORMAN — Gov. Mary Fallin congratulated the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners on Thursday for their purchase of two Compressed Natural Gas vehicles.
Cleveland County was the first county to commit and purchase CNG-powered vehicles, which will save the county money in the long run.
"I'm excited that Oklahoma is actually leading the way," Fallin said.
Commissioners Rod Cleveland and Darry Stacy both spoke about the positives of CNG vehicles, as well as obstacles that will need to be overcome. Cleveland said with trucks only getting 10 to 12 miles to the gallon, fuel prices eat up a lot of resources when resources are already limited. When he was first elected, he began researching CNG vehicles.
"I saw the positives of cleaner emissions, cheaper fuel prices and cleaner and less maintenance of CNG engines, and that was very enticing," he said.
His optimism for CNG vehicles was renewed when Fallin shared a commitment with other governors in 2011. Fallin got 23 other states on a national bid, visited with car companies to ask about developing more CNG vehicles since they were going to make a commitment as states to purchase them, and the auto companies took the offer.
Fallin said it then gave them better access to CNG vehicles and allowed anyone in government to purchase off the contract. While Fallin challenged state agencies to commit to CNG vehicles, Cleveland said he challenges Oklahoma counties to do the same.
Stacy said Fallin's initiative allowed the county to save about $12,000 per CNG vehicle purchase. The price tag is about $7,000 more than a regular vehicle, but the CNG vehicle pays itself off in about two years.
"The savings should be huge," Stacy said.
Each vehicle will save the county about $20,000 over its entire life span. The vehicles also will create more Oklahoma jobs through energy production in the state, lowering the dependency on foreign oil, "which I think we can all agree is a good thing," he said.
