Shirley Jackson had no idea of the angry reaction that her short story "The Lottery" would cause when it first appeared in New Yorker Magazine in 1948. This ing story tells of how a group of otherwise "normal" people can be so influenced by collective or mentality that they do inhuman things. This was shortly after World War Two, as Americans were learning of the horrors of German , Japanese in the Asia Pacific, and their own use of the . The story suggests that such things could also happen in a small American town. Was the problem that this was too close to the truth for the U.S.A.'s South?

Compare this to your values for
What can you conclude about the ratio between the normal force and

The ratio Ff/FN is called the coefficient of friction between the two materials in question. We can also write Ff = μFN with the Greek letter μ representing the coefficient of friction. Does it take more force to slide an object across a surface if there is a high value of μ or a low one?

Two things that can always be counted on at convention panels occurred at DC Comicsâ All Access Panel at this yearâs Emerald City Comicon: technical difficulties and the promise of impending greatness! Once the technological challenges were overcome, Batman Editor Mike Marts moderated a group of DCâs finest as they detailed upcoming events for the publisher.
Joining Marts on one side of the dais were editors Ben Abernathy (DC Digital), Brian Cunningham (âJustice League,â âGreen Lantern,â âFlashâ), and Rachel Gluckstern (âThe Fury of Firestorm,â âCatwomanâ). The daisâ opposite end was filled with DC talent, including writer Bill Willingham (âFables,â âFairestâ), artist Dustin Nguyen (âStreets of Gotham,â âBatman Beyondâ), artist Chris Burnham (âBatman Inc.â), and colorist Nathan Fairbairn (âSwamp Thing,â âBatman Inc.â). As these talented gentlemen introduced themselves, they also gave the audience a tease of their upcoming works.
Willingham said that things continue apace with âFables,â which is now on issue âone hundred something-something-something.â He is enjoying the âFablesâ spin-off âFairest,â which allows him to focus more on individual characters. And with great excitement, he announced that the âFablesâ original graphic novel âWerewolves of the Heartlandâ is complete and will be out this November. He said, âItâs going to be huge!â
Nguyen went next and said he is currently busy with the âAmerican Vampireâ miniseries titled âLord of Nightmaresâ that he is working on with writer Scott Snyder. He added that it picks up after âSurvival of the Fittestâ and will be out in June. The artist also encouraged readers to pick up his digital âBatman Beyondâ work and explained, âit takes me three months to draw and you get it [digitally] for ninety-nine centsâ â what a deal!
Artist Burnham followed and he enthusiastically attempted to describe âBatman Inc.â (written by Grant Morrison) which will appear on shelves this May. âThis is a crazy series. Thereâs some serious Grant Morrison-ing going on in this comic.â He then described his job thusly: âGrant gives me a plot, I draw it, and then he finishes it off with a full script. So I get to read the words in peopleâs mouths after Iâve drawn the whole thing. Itâs the coolest feeling, like âOh, he based those words on that stupid drawing I made.ââ
And regarding âthose wordsâ his collaborator writes, Burnham somewhat jokingly added, âItâs super-Grant Morrison dialogue where he condenses [in one word balloon] what Brian Bendis would spend a full issue on. Itâs amazing!â
The slideshow DC brought with them then began with the cover of âThe New 52!â comic that the publisher will be giving out on Free Comic Book Day, which occurs on Cinco de Mayo this year. Cunningham mentioned that it will include bits from several different series, including Geoff Johns and Jim Leeâs âJustice League.â He expressed great excitement over their work and added that weâll be seeing a four-page spread from Lee that looks âamazing.â
The next slide showed the cover of âBatman Inc.â #2, and Burnham told the audience that he and Morrison will be telling the life story of Talia. The artist believes heâs read just about every Talia appearance and said this story âreally pulls from the Denny OâNeal-Neal Adams stuffâ¦Itâs kind of heartbreaking, epic, and awesome!â
Following this, the Adam Hughes-drawn cover to âFairestâ #2 was shown with a little blue genie kissing a character. Willingham teased the artist and said, âI think itâs worth noting that Adam Hughes has become a bit typecast. Between the âFairestâ covers and his new work on âDr. Manhattanââ¦he only draws comics that feature people with blue skin.â
Nguyenâs cover for âAmerican Vampire: Lord of Nightmaresâ came next, and the artist had plenty of kind words for the bookâs writer, Scott Snyder. âWorking with Scott is great because if you ask him whatâs going to happen in an issue, instead of just telling you a sentence, heâll go page-by-page and tell you what happens.â
Colorist Fairbairn (who works with Snyder on âSwamp Thingâ) confirmed this as well by adding, âHeâs like the anti-Grant Morrison!â
At this point in the panel, the floor was opened to fans with questions. They queued up at the microphone in the room and let the queries fly.
First came a question about Green Lanternâs varying personalities, in that he seems to act one way in his self-titled book and another way in âJustice League.â Cunningham agreed that the Hal Jordan seen on the Justice League âcan definitely be a handful.â He explained that Geoff Johns had been writing âGreen Lanternâ so long that heâs having to adjust the character to the new 52 realities. The editor said itâs occurring, but subtly. He told fans to expect the Justice League Hal to show up âmore and moreâ in âGreen Lantern.â
Someone then asked about Red Hood and how he fits in with the Batman mythos in light of the new 52. Marts responded to this by saying, âWe have lots of origin-type material coming up, especially as to his relationship with Dick and his relationship to Kory.â Answers are on the way.
An audience member next expressed dismay at the ending of âStatic Shockâ this April. Marts assured him, âWe have a lot of plans for the character.â
Some questions about the Flash followed, mostly centered around his speed and the fact that he seems to be âcappedâ at the speed of light. Cunningham answered that this wasnât exactly a âconscious choice, but if he always runs that fast, it can take the character past a level where the story is entertaining.â He also added, âAt the moment, weâre playing with speed, his powers, and the consequence of those powersâ¦Thereâs lots of stuff coming up with the speed force, and weâll be exploring the consequences of being the Flash â and they are dire.â
Stephanie Brown was the subject du jour for many fans at the panel, with one fan asking how they were going to deal with the transition of taking the Batgirl mantle and handing it back to Barbara Gordon. Burnham joked, âIâm curious about that too!â
To this, Marts said, âStephanie is extremely important to us as well. We love her as a character and hopefully sometime in the future we can find a way to work her into the new 52.â That being said, he added that âwe wonât be seeing her anytime soon.â
Another question came up in the Bat-realm and dealt with a tooth punched out of Nightwingâs mouthâ¦by Batman! This event took place in âBatmanâ #7, and an audience member wanted to know why it was necessary for Bruce to punch the tooth out of Nightwing, as opposed to just telling him about it?
âThereâs more to that scene than just the tooth,â Marts said. He explained that this moment was part of Snyderâs plan even before the New 52 factored into things, and that they considered many ways of playing the moment. Marts then suggested, âPerhaps Bruceâs reaction there is a sign of something else.â
The final question of the panel concerned DCâs digital plans and gave Abernathy a chance to speak. While he couldnât relay specifics, he said that DC would have some announcements soon about projects that are digital-first and digital exclusives.
So the panel ended on a note about the cyber-world, and fans ventured out of the convention hall to a very real and wet world at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle.

Skip to comments.Geithner: 'Privilege of Being an American' Is Why Rich Need Higher Taxes
Posted on 02/24/2012 11:15:57 AM PST by Beave Meister
"Thats the kind of balance you need," said Geithner. "Why is that the case? Because if you don't try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to -- the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security."
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
Tar...feathers...rail...apply liberally.
Turbo Tax Tim doesn't pay his taxes like he should. That is why he has no problem raising them for everyone else.
Hey TIM!
You tax dodging idiot!
This was AMERICA, BEFORE Obama started adding Trillions in debt, designed soley for the purpose of destroying this country!
We are under NO obligation to PAY FOR YOUR SOCIALIST AGENDA!
Just which part of your MARXISM do you consider a "privlege"?
Citizenship is a priveledge not a right now? I think Timah is a little dumb.
>>the privilege of being an American
But, I thought that being an American was a RIGHT for every brown- and black-skinned person who can sneak across our border??
So, what do poor people owe the country for the privilege of being an American?
Wait... we pay them for existing... and being "aggrieved".
No kidding...
Like the guy who pays 102% in taxes?
Hmmm. I think that the poorest of Americans are infinitely better off than the rest of the world's poor. And the rich are, well pretty well off no matter where they live. So really, it is the poor that should be REALLY grateful that they have the privilege of being an American - so I think that they should be taxed more.
Hmmmm. And could even add an even higher tax onto poor folks that have immigrated here from other countries.
Hmmm. And folks descended from slaves. If their relatives had ended up in S. America or elsewhere they no doubt would not have survived long enough to have descendants. They should REALLY be grateful for the privilege to being an American and pay more in taxes.
Okay - my satire rant is off. How about we ALL pay a bit less and expect a bit less from the feds?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So says the rich tax dodger.
Holding the "higher men" to the same moral standard as the lower men is detrimental to both the higher men and to the society as a whole - Nietzche.
Does anyone epitomize this line of thought any more than the 'rats & "progressives"?
I long for the days when more revenues came from economic growth.
And the 'Privilege of Being an American' is why about half of the country pays NO taxes, and has a subset that gets back something like 7 billion in refunds. Some animals are more privileged than others.
One half of American taxpayers pay no Federal income taxes. Aren't they "privileged"?
The privilege of being an American is the highest taxes in the world.
Isn;t everyone privileged to be an American? Should they all pay more taxes Tim?
So we finally have the full picture of Obama's world view.
We know it is a privilege to be an American.
But closer to Obama's liberation theology, he believes Americans have an unfair advantage not enjoyed by the rest of the world and we must be punished for it. He believes the world playing field must be leveled. In his mind, there are two ways to bring this about. Deem the rest of the world to be equal to American citizens with an equal say in our govt. as he is bringing about with his immigration policy. Or make Americans pay for their advantage.
To make sure they are burdened for centuries, triple the debt so that it will take generations for Americans to pay it back. Why should the rest of the world have to suffer? Americans must be made to pay. Steal money through the Fed and give it to the world banks and Soros. Americans will pay for it. Limits need to be placed on American resources. We can't be allowed to use our own oil resources. Limits need to be placed on our freedoms. The Constitution can no longer be followed. Only democrats in govt. shall rule. Limits need to be placed on American's possessions. Any extra money shall go to pay essentials and taxes nothing else. Any advantages Americans create by their own hard work need to be taken and given to the rest of the world. It is only fair since it is obvious that America with all it's advantages needs to share with the world, by force as it seems necessary.
After all, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The United States has the ability. The rest of the world has the greed, I mean need.
Treasury Secretary Tax Cheat Timmy Geithner is just laying out the beginnings of what is to come. First the "rich" pay taxes for the privilege of being American, but in the end, we will all be paying. Except for the democrats, they never pay.
"the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American,"
If being an American is a "privilege" then we should surely limit voting to those that pay for that privilege.
What is asked of the cell-phone, flat-screen, 2-car owning poor for the privilege of sitting on their ass while being supported by the other 50% of the population that actually pay taxes to support them.
How about if Geithner, Rangel, Sebellius, Franken and the rest of them just paid their taxes? Then maybe Geithner would not need to raise the taxes of honest people who pay theirs.

I would give this 10 stars if I could! This is the first dairy free recipe that I've tried that is actually better than the real thing!! My son has a diary allergy and I recently used this soup base in a chicken and rice recipe: kid-friendly-chicken-and-rice-159337. The flavor of this recipe is much bolder than traditional cream soups in a can and goes very nicely with chicken dishes. My only cautionary tip would be to watch the amount of salt if this recipe is used as a replacement cream soup in other dishes, you may want to reduce or eliminate the extra salt since the boullion usually adds plenty in itself. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for an amazing dairy alternative!!!!
This is very good but please be careful - my chicken bouillion has BUTTER OIL in it and therefor is not dairy-free. (Wyler's granules)
I added some left over chopped chicken breasts and a can of mushrooms. Delicious!!! And soooooo easy. I will for sure make this again.

Topeka (WIBW) - A Shawnee County judge ruled Wednesday against prosecutors in saying she will hear from witnesses Thursday in deciding whether charges against a police officer go forward.
Judge Nancy Parrish will hold an evidentiary hearing Thursday morning in the case against Jason Judd. Judd is charged with aggravated battery for an off-duty shooting March 18, 2008, that injured two men.
A special prosecutor has filed a motion to dismiss the charges, saying it was self defense. But an attorney for victims Daniel and Devin Llamas says the case should go forward.
Parrish will make a ruling on the motion to dismiss charges sometime after Thursday's hearing.

Can I get the top discussions to include my past posts with comments (that are way more popular than the ones shown)? Also, why aren't the counts accurate?
Here's an example of what's happening (scroll to the bottom):
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd like to display unordered lists in P2 with 'bullets'. What CSS is overriding the default disc display, and what's the best upgrade safe way to override that (if possible) and make UL elements always show with the disc prefix?
I'd like to display unordered lists in P2 with 'bullets'. What CSS is overriding the default disc display, and what's the best upgrade safe way to override that (if possible) and make UL elements always show with the disc prefix?
Imho there are no bullets in CSS. See http://w3schools.com/css/css_list.asp for list styles (square, disc, circle)
However, there may be different solutions to your question :
* using a list-style-image
* using the pseudo class "before" like this :
ul li:before {content:'•';} (write "& b u l l ;" without the spaces)
see also http://www.evotech.net/blog/2007/05/controlling-list-item-bullets-with-css/ and http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/CSS_pseudo_elements.asp
Thanks veganist. The default display for list-style is the disc, which is what I'm calling bullets.
P2 overrides this default somewhere, and I can't seem to find it. That's what I'm asking about here, specific to P2: how to restore the default disc list-style for unordered lists.
Ah ok. I see. I dont know this theme, do you have a URL ?
Otherwise, consider using Firebug with Firefox to find out what and where a CSS modifies the appearance of your lists.
If you are not firm with this kind of tool, try searching in P2's stylesheet for "list-style".
Also, some themes do a reset in the beginning like so
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
which resets the margin of lists so bullets become simply "invisible". In that case you should add a margin to every UL via CSS.
Hi ryanschwartz,
What version of P2 are you using? Have you modified the style.css file?
Unordered lists posts or pages should show with bullets in P2, so if you aren't seeing them it's probably a CSS issue. Here's a sample HTML formatting page on the P2 Demo site: http://p2demo.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/layout-test/3/
Hi Lance, I'm using version 220.127.116.11 and I've not modified style.css at all. FWIW, I'm seeing the same behavior (no bullets) at the sample page http://wp-themes.com/p2/ but the link you provided on p2demo.wordpress.com DOES display the bullets. I see the same results in Chrome for Mac, Safari for Mac, and IE 8 on PC.
I'm going to guess this is a new thing since previously we were seeing the bullets and after an upgrade apparently they disappeared.
OK, I see the issue now. We have fixed it in the WordPress.com version, and the fix will be released in the next version for the WordPress.org directory (probably in the next two weeks or so).
If you want to fix it now for your site, you can find this CSS block in style.css:
#main ul#postlist .postcontent ul, #main ul#postlist .postcontent ol,
#main ul#postlist .commentlist .commentcontent ul, #main ul#postlist .commentlist .commentcontent ol {
border: none;
border-width: none;
border-style: none;
border-top-style: none;
border-top-width: none;
padding-top: 0;
and add
overflow: visible; to it.
Thanks Lance, that did the trick!

Navajo Nation Pushes for Uranium Cleanup
Related Resources
Despite the lure of potentially big money, the Navajo Nation has banned uranium mining on its reservation, which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. In part, the decision reflects deep Navajo concerns about how past mining activities have damaged health and the environment.
Note: A longer version this text story appeared is this space earlier. It has been removed for further review.
Glow of Uranium Boom Attracts U.S. Miners
More on U.S. Mines
Since the 1980s, the world has had huge stockpiles of uranium ore as a result of the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race and little interest in new nuclear power plants.
But now, there's money to be made in mining uranium.
The price of uranium ore has shot up 10-fold in the past three years because demand has outstripped supply.
Countries like China and India have plans to open dozens of new nuclear power plants, which require enriched uranium for fuel. Major producers — like Australia, Canada, Russia and Namibia — are the major suppliers.
And now the U.S. uranium industry wants to get in on the boom.
Mining companies have staked tens of thousands of claims in five Western states. Those who are in charge of established mines, such as the Mt. Taylor mine in northern New Mexico — the country's largest — want to reopen them.
Since Mt. Taylor closed 17 years ago, Joe Lister has been managing it pretty much alone. He says he'd like to have his 450 colleagues back and working.
But startup costs — up to $150 million for the mine — are an inhibiting factor.
So are federal and state rules regulating the radioactive mineral. Regulations on mine safety, uranium waste and environmental impact are tough and numerous.
Plus, after decades of little activity, the glut of new applications has overwhelmed officials who regulate the industry. The situation is even worse because many of the officials who knew the regulations have retired, according to Patrick Donnelly, a mining analyst with Salman Partners in Toronto.
"And now you're seeing a new generation of scientists and bureaucrats, and ... dealing with these permits and licenses, and these people are inexperienced," Donnelly says. "They're going to be a lot more careful, a lot more rigorous in the permitting process. No one wants to make a mistake."
There are plenty of nuclear industry opponents watching.
But why aren't more mines open in the U.S.?
"When we say uranium, when we say nuclear, what are your first thoughts?" Mt. Taylor's Lister says. "What is the first thing you think of? Do you think atomic bomb? Do you think Three Mile Island? Most people do."
There have been no reported nuclear power plant incidents that threatened public safety since the accident at the nuclear power plant Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania 29 years ago.
There is an issue of what to do with spent fuel, but with petroleum prices soaring and carbon-emitting coal plants under scrutiny, Donnelly says more mines will open. The need for energy is just too big and there's too much money to be made supplying it.
"You will see a uranium mining renaissance in the U.S.," Donnelly says. "Are you going to see it this year? A little bit. Next year, a little bit more."

HOKENDAUQUA (AP) — Authorities in the Lehigh Valley are investigating a shooting that reportedly involved a state constable.
Emergency dispatchers in Lehigh County say the shooting occurred at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday in Whitehall Township.
Acting township police chief Ribello Bertoni told The Express-Times that the constables were trying to serve a warrant.
He said the shooting remains "a very active investigation" and local police were working with state police and the district attorney's office, but declined to release other details.
The man, who police said sustained a single gunshot wound, was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, where his condition was not immediately available.
Officials said constables, who serve court papers and transport criminals, are allowed to carry weapons.

Focus will be placed upon developing a critical eye for professional computer art/graphics and design. All relevant software packages will be reviewed through classroom exercises.
ARTH-150 Art Administration
2 class hours, 1 recitation hour 2 credits
This course will address the many and varied tasks involved in gallery/museum administration. Often, in a gallery or museum, an individual may be expected to perform or assist in more than one aspect of administration: assisting in the director's office, clerical and administrative support, training new staff, public relations, helping visitors, researching and writing a background history of the institution, organizing a volunteer program, providing educational services to visiting groups. In short, a gallery/museum is expected at all times to provide efficiency, effectiveness and economy in management, and an individual will be expected to be able to take charge of or assist in all aspects of administration.
ARTH-251 Art Curating
3 class hours 3 credits
Prerequisite: AR-312; AR-802
This course covers the basics of planning an exhibition for a targeted audience in a Gallery or Museum setting. Appropriate dis;play design for a specific theme, utilizing the gallery/museum collection, research, sources of information, how to write informative text for the public (what to say and how to say it), exhibition design and production, contracts, insurance,construction and display of exhibitions, publicity. In addition, the course will cover policies for collecting and disposal of works of art, donations, purchases and loans. Classroom lecture and discussion will be supplemented with trips to the QCC Art Gallery to observe, to participate in meetings with the Gallery Director, and to participate in curatorial duties (under supervision) when the student achieves a grade point average of B or above, as determined by tests, quizzes, papers, and class participation.
ARTH-252 Art Institutions and the Business of Art
3 class hours 3 credits
Prerequisite: AR-AR-801 and either AR-311 or AR-312
This course wil familiarize students with the various forms of art institutions–museums, galleries, not-for-profit organizations, and auction houses–and their funding structures. Students will learn about various art institutions through readings, class discussion, onsite visits, and individual research projects. Students will learn the roles of mission statements, budgeting, grant writing, fundraising, and publications for a variety of art institutions.

An exciting new exhibition space opened in the Fall of 2014 in Art and Design Department. The new gallery located in the "C" Building, Room 204-A will act as an experimental laboratory for ideas and creative expression in which students can develop their talents as future artist and curators.
The gallery will be student-run, providing invaluable practical experience for students and will serve as an ongoing counterpart to the annual Art Students' Exhibition held every spring at our QCC Art Gallery.
The first show in the gallery was held at the time of it's opening and featured a variety of works in different media including collage, drawing and photography.
The Art and Design Department extends its thanks to the ongoing support of President Diane Call and VP of Academic Affairs, Paul Marchese, and the vision of the Chair of our department, Prof. Bob Rogers, plus the hard work of the craftsmen of Buildings and Grounds. This valuable space is a reality thanks to their efforts.
The department extends special thanks to Professors Kenny Yurkovitch and Malcolm MacDougall for donating their time and effort to help install the inaugural exhibit.

Diplomacy 'Reset' Worries Some U.S. Allies
GENEVA -- The Obama administration's push to engage countries like Russia, Iran and Syria is generating broad support in Europe and the Middle East. But smaller U.S. allies are cautioning Washington not to pursue this diplomatic track at their expense.
Some Arab states and Israel fear U.S. diplomacy runs the risk of empowering Iran across their region. Baltic countries and former Warsaw Pact nations, meanwhile, still seek the West's protection in the face of disputes with Russia over territory and energy supplies.
"There are risks involved in this diplomatic strategy even while there's international support," said a Middle Eastern diplomat closely involved in the U.S.'s Iranian strategy. "It can't be seen as a sign of weakness, or as accepting Iran's nuclear program."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Friday in Geneva with her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, and the two diplomats sought to put to rest the acrimony generated last fall by Moscow's military incursion into Georgia. Senior U.S. diplomats also are in Damascus this weekend to seek rapprochement with Syria.
U.S. officials said that Mrs. Clinton pushed Mr. Lavrov not to move ahead with the sale of S-300 missile systems to Iran. President Barack Obama has told Moscow the U.S. might alter its plans for a missile-defense system in Europe, if it gets greater cooperation from Russia on Iran. Mr. Lavrov was noncommittal at a press conference. "We have not violated anything," he said in reference to Russia's military assistance to Tehran.
But U.S. and Russian officials said they agreed to a road map to quickly resume disarmament talks on revamping the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which regulates the number of long-range nuclear weapons Washington and Moscow can possess. The treaty expires this December. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Lavrov also agreed to regularly consult on broader strategic issues, such as U.S. missile-defense plans, North Korean and Iranian nuclear programs, and efforts to stabilize Afghanistan.
"Our agenda tonight was broad, but it's just the beginning," Mrs. Clinton said Friday following her meeting with Mr. Lavrov. "We believe this is a fresh start." The U.S. and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies had agreed Thursday to restore ministerial contacts with Moscow that had been frozen since the Georgia war.
Mrs. Clinton's overtures during her week-long tour of the Middle East and Europe have received a warm reception from diplomats and newspaper columnists in those regions. Many Arab and European governments sparred with former U.S. President George W. Bush over the Iraq war and issues like climate change.
"Obama has given new hope to the world," European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering gushed after meeting Mrs. Clinton in Brussels on Friday. Still, the administration's softer approach toward Moscow has caused some uneasiness among loyal Washington allies in the former Soviet Union and former Soviet bloc.
Lithuania opposed the decision to restart a NATO-Russia Council. Although leaders of the three ex-Soviet republics in the Baltics said little publicly, Baltic concerns over Russian assertiveness are particularly strong.
"I think there is a general frustration that NATO and the West as a whole has not managed to convey in any meaningful way the message that what Russia did in Georgia was unacceptable," says Kadri Liik, director of the International Center for Defense Studies in Estonia. "The NATO-Russia talks were unfrozen without making any conditions on Russia at all."
Estonia was the subject of a cyber war and other punitive measures from Russia in 2007. Lithuania had the oil supply to its refinery cut in 2006, allegedly due to a pipeline fault, and it has never been turned back on.
Analysts and politicians across the region say they're happy the U.S. is re-engaging Russia on the Start treaty, but some strategists fear Washington might abandon support for bringing Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, though the Obama administration's hasn't given any signals to that effect. "Ukraine is not going to join NATO any time soon, but to postpone this program for some distant point in the future would be a real worry," said Janusz Onyszkiewicz, a former Polish defense minister.
In the Middle East, Israel sought assurances from Mrs. Clinton that Washington's overtures toward Tehran don't undercut its own interests. Unease toward Iran is shared by many Sunni Arab leaders, who fear a grand bargain over the Iranian nuclear program could see Washington recognizing Tehran's growing influence in places like Lebanon and Iraq.
Nonetheless, any move by the U.S. and Israel to carry out military strikes against Iran's nuclear assets would likely be unpopular in Arab countries.
Lebanon faces parliamentary elections in June in which pro-Western and pro-Iranian parties will face off. Those Lebanese who have struggled against Syrian influence are cautious about any Washington-Damascus rapprochement that may come at their expense. "There is a lot of ambivalence in Lebanon," said Oussama Safa, director of the Lebanese Center for Policy.

'The Office' Spin-Off Finds Dwight's Brother in 'The Campaign' Actor
While "The Office" is nearing its conclusion, its spin-off "The Farm" continues filling out the cast line-up. Thomas Middleditch, who has a role on Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis-starring comedy "The Campaign", is tapped to portray Dwight Schrute's brother, Jeb.
Jeb is described as an easygoing 30-something man who is the polar opposite of Dwight in terms of hierarchy, work ethic and sense of principle. He failed at some business ventures, including worm farmer, Bigfoot hunter and Army farmer, but finds some success with a pot farm. He has also made an exercise video about things you can do with a knife and a canoe.
Middleditch joins Majandra Delfino and Blake Garrett who were earlier cast as Dwight's sister Fannie and his nephew Cameron respectively. The actor, who has lent his voice for "Beavis and Butt-Head" several times, is expected to be a series regular if the new comedy is picked up to series.
"The Farm" will focus on Rainn Wilson's Dwight who now runs the Schrute family beet farm and bed & breakfast. Back in January, Wilson said his new show "would be even more far out and weird than 'The Office' and "would have a crazy menagerie of characters."

It does not work. WordPress will stop working at this tag. Each text after this nextpage-tag will be ignored, and there is no link for moving to the next page.

What i have to do now for setting up pagination?

AccuScore, a company that specializes in thorough game simulations, has released its seasonal projections for the 2012 NFL season.
These 27 running backs, based solely on AccuScore projections (not mine), will collect more than 1,000 total yards this season:
(We'll address total touchdowns for running backs sometime in the not-too-distant future.)
1. Arian Foster, Texans—2,170 total yards (1,520 rushing)
2. Ray Rice, Ravens—1,799 total yards (1,145 rushing)
3. Ryan Mathews, Chargers—1,777 total yards (1,250 rushing)
4. LeSean McCoy, Eagles—1,720 total yards (1,259 rushing)
5. Darren McFadden, Raiders—1,697 total yards (1,224 rushing)
6. Matt Forte, Bears—1,643 total yards (1,026 rushing)
7. Trent Richardson, Browns—1,570 total yards (1,142 rushing)
8. Fred Jackson, Bills—1,537 total yards (1,052 rushing)
9. Chris Johnson, Titans—1,530 total yards (1,108 rushing)
10. Jamaal Charles, Chiefs—1,514 total yards (1,124 rushing)
11. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars—1,502 total yards (1,384 rushing)
12. Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants—1,437 total yards (1,009 rushing)
13. Steven Jackson, Rams—1,423 total yards (968 rushing)
- I may not agree with AccuScore on everything, but our projections for LeSean McCoy are only 34 yards apart (mine: 1,754 total yards). We also have McCoy (20 TDs last year) finding the end zone 16 or 17 times in 2012.
- Arian Foster is the undisputed tailback king in AccuScore's world, projected for 2,170 total yards and 17.31 touchdowns. As a clincher, it's important to note that Foster has two home clashes with the Colts and Vikings for Weeks 15 and 16—the final two playoff rounds for most fantasy leagues.
- I'll buy AccuScore's projections for Ray Rice, even though it falls short of last year's 2,000-yard threshold. For whatever reason, Rice only tallies 2,000 yards in seasons that end in odd numbers (2009, 2011).
- Both Matt Forte and Fred Jackson garnered robust estimates from AccuScore. If the tailbacks hadn't gotten hurt in 2011, their per-game projections might have led to 1,985 yards (Forte) and 2,201 yards (F-Jax).
- If I was a betting man (like last week in Vegas), I'd buy the "over" for Chris Johnson (1,530 total yards) and Maurice Jones-Drew (1,502), and "under" for rookie Trent Richardson (1,570 yards) and Ryan Mathews (1,777). That aside, I still love Mathews for nearly 1,600 yards and nine TDs this season.
14. DeMarco Murray, Cowboys—1,364 total yards (1,048 rushing)
15. Shonn Greene, Jets—1,349 total yards (1,121 rushing)
16. Adrian Peterson, Vikings—1,327 total yards (1,124 rushing)
17. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks—1,319 total yards (1,089 rushing)
18. Reggie Bush, Dolphins—1,190 total yards (812 rushing)
19. Isaac Redman, Steelers—1,169 total yards (969 rushing)
20. James Starks, Packers—1,160 total yards (829 rushing)
21. Donald Brown, Colts—1,137 total yards (891 rushing)
22. Willis McGahee, Broncos—1,128 total yards (989 rushing)
23. BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Bengals—1,091 total yards (990 rushing)
24. Doug Martin, Buccaneers—1,078 total yards (833 rushing)
25. Frank Gore, 49ers—1,060 total yards (812 rushing)
26. Darren Sproles, Saints—1,010 total yards (334 rushing)
27. Michael Turner, Falcons—1,008 total yards (916 rushing)
- Noticeably absent from this list: Jahvid Best, Roy Helu, Beanie Wells, Stevan Ridley, Tim Hightower, Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams, Ben Tate, Mark Ingram, Mikel Leshoure, Michael Bush, LeGarrette Blount, Rashard Mendenhall, Toby Gerhart and C.J. Spiller.
- Bucs rookie Doug Martin (1,554 total yards, 16 TDs in 2011) may, in time, prove to be the perfect back for head coach Greg Schiano's power-rushing attack. For now, Martin will likely split carries with Blount, but one look at Martin's highlight reel indicates his day as Tampa Bay's feature back will come sooner than later.
- If either Williams (971 total yards, seven TDs last year) or Stewart was given a full-time role in the Carolina offense, they'd be reasonable bets for 1,400 total yards and 10 touchdowns (even with Cam Newton siphoning their red-zone opportunities). But in a time-share agreement, where the backs are randomly featured from week to week, their successful partnership simply serves the greater good.
- I can empathize with the low projections for Frank Gore (1,325 total yards, eight TDs in 2011), as things may be a little different this fall. For starters, the 49ers have upgraded the receivers, adding Mario Manningham, A.J. Jenkins and Randy Moss to the mix. Next up, Gore, Brandon Jacobs, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James might comprise the NFL's best (and only) four-man backfield.

Up until then, Republicans could only cast ballots for fellow Republicans in primary elections, while Democrats allowed votes from people who declined to choose a party.But in fall general elections, the many lopsided races in congressional or legislative districts where voter registration is dominated by one party or the other were essentially done...
PUC reform leaves a lot to worry consumers: Thomas Elias
The fanfare was loud when Gov. Jerry Brown and state legislators announced agreement on a package of Public Utilities Commission reforms the other day. You could almost hear Brown saying, "This will clear up any clouds in my legacy."Sorry, Governor, it won't.For while the proposed PUC changes do make some improvements, they leave the powerful commission's main problem unsolved: The five commissioners still are not accountable to anyone as they set...
Conflict of interest in Jerry Brown's endorsement of Kamala Harris?: Thomas Elias
No political endorsement ever seemed more innocuous and expected than Gov. Jerry Brown's backing of state Attorney General Kamala Harris for the U.S. Senate seat now held by the retiring Barbara Boxer.Like Boxer, both are Democrats. Harris was Brown's successor as head of the state's Justice Department. Each is part of the Northern California Democratic group that controls most major statewide offices, including both California seats in the Senate, plus the...
Loretta Sanchez should keep running aggressively: Thomas Elias
Once California's primary election season ends in early June, most candidates go into a sort of stasis for almost three months, until just before the traditional Labor Day start of the fall political season.But if Loretta Sanchez is smart — and no one ever suggested she's not — she will not wait months before resuming an aggressive campaign for the U.S. Senate. Sanchez on election night in early June eased into a November runoff against state Attorney...
Pass communication restrictions for all state commissions: Thomas Elias
There's a good chance state lawmakers this year will pass a ban on ex parte communications involving members of the Coastal Commission. It's a nice idea, but inadequate.Ex parte communications — the legalistic name for private meetings, phone calls and email exchanges between key state officials and the people or companies they regulate — emerged two years ago as one of the most corrupt parts of California's public life.That's when...
Pressure legislators to move up California primary: Thomas Elias
The most actively contested California presidential primary election in decades is over. Candidates Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernard Sanders were ubiquitous for a month, logging thousands of miles and dozens of rallies. New voters registered by the hundreds of thousands.But it meant very little in the end because of abysmal timing. Millions of Californians ended up voting in the ninth inconsequential California primary of the last 44 years. All the rhetoric of Sanders and...
Manson follower Leslie Van Houten's parole must be denied: Thomas Elias
It seemed like déjà vu this spring when a panel of the California Board of Prison Terms recommended parole for onetime Charles Manson "Family" member Leslie Van Houten.Other parole board teams have recommended release several times for less well-known former Manson murder participants like Bruce Davis and Charles (Tex) Watson and none has yet been freed.But some parole panelists believe Van Houten should be different. Denied parole 19 other times during...
Key primary question: Who will vote? Thomas Elias
The key questions in the June 7 primary election include not merely who will win in each major party and how many national convention delegates they might net, but also who will vote.That last question, in fact, might decide the answers to the first two.Before all his opponents dropped out, it seemed that to do well, Republican businessman Donald Trump needed votes from many, many thousands of Californians who don't ordinarily go to the polls or fill out ballots in...
