Shen Yun Receives Triumphant Standing Ovation at Belk Theater in Charlotte
James and Rita Elliott attend Shen Yun Performing Arts at Charlotte's Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, on Jan. 29. (Denise Darcel/Epoch Times)
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The stunning beauty and majestic artistry of Shen Yun Performing Arts lifted the audience from their seats in a resounding applause following its performance at Charlotte's Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, Jan. 29.
Through the universal languages of music and dance, the New York-based Shen Yun brings 5,000 years of Chinese civilization to life.
In attendance for Shen Yun's final 2014 Charlotte performance was James and Rita Elliott.
Dr. Elliott, an accomplished research and innovation leader with proven record of success in all phases of food and nutrition industry over his 40-plus-year career, is a former scientist and researcher for DSM, a company based in the Netherlands and headquartered in five continents.
Impressed by the well-rounded breadth of Shen Yun, Dr. Elliot was taken in by every facet of the performance. "It all stands out; it all comes together," he said.
Dr. Elliott has published over 40 research papers for fortune 500 companies, journals, and vitamin retailer magazines, while providing solid science base for numerous dietary and nutritional products currently on the market.
As for Shen Yun, he was especially touched by the performance's spiritual component. "It's a magical mix of dance and spirituality," he said.
"Principles such as benevolence and justice, propriety and wisdom, respect for the heavens, and divine retribution, all come to life, washing over the audience," reads Shen Yun's website. "Originating from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, these ideals are the essence of traditional Chinese culture."
Mrs. Elliott, a physical therapist at Healthy@Home/Carolinas Medical System, said: "The costumes were lovely, colorful, joyful."
"It kind of makes you feel like there is a connection between the universe and everybody," she added.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has four touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org
The Epoch Times considers Shen Yun Performing Arts the significant cultural event of our time. We have proudly covered audience reactions since Shen Yun's inception in 2006.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The wonder years are over for Danica McKellar and her husband of three years _ the actress has filed for divorce.
McKellar cited irreconcilable differences for the breakup from composer Michael Verta in her petition, which was filed on Monday in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old is best known for playing Winnie Cooper on ABC's "The Wonder Years." She went on to author three books on mathematics with titles such as "Math Doesn't Suck" and "Kiss My Math."
The pair married in March 2009 and have a son who will be 2-years-old in September.
McKellar, who appeared in several episodes of "The West Wing" and other series, is seeking joint custody.
Her filing states the couple has a prenuptial agreement.

Friend, you can't eat gifts. Well, maybe some gifts, like a cheese ball or one of those chocolate yule logs. But in the main, most gifts are inedible (some of those cheese balls included). And yet it's the edible gifts that receive special attention this time of year. A big-screen television or a dangly diamond object generates an awed "ooh," but a delicious treat is the gift everybody eventually gathers around. And that's when the lasting part of the holidays — the memories — are made. Objects come and go, but families and friends sitting around a table blissfully stuffing faces and laughing — that's Christmas. So make sure you budget time for the Maplewood Farmers' Market Pre-Holiday Sale. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. today at the Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue, Maplewood; 314-241-2337 or www.schlafly.com), the usual purveyors of high-quality foodstuffs (baked goods, fresh produce, honey, savory meats) have their stalls set up indoors and are ready to make your holiday dreams come true. Admission is free, as always, and beer, the official lubricant of the holiday season, is just a few steps away if you feel the need to toast your good fortune.

Good morning All,
My thanks to Sooty_1, Woolybill1 and Jestertheclown for correctly identifying the flying machine in WW I Pilot. My thanks also to all those who contibuted modifications, advice, thoughts and tips or just dropped by for a look.
To day's upload is my restoration efforts on WW I Pilot. I have removed specks, adjusted curves - toning down the rhs, lightening the lhs and slightly increasing the contrast - sharpened and tidied up the boarder. Lastly I reduced the saturation rather than convert to black and white as I wanted to keep "the look". It is interesting that not one of the pictures in the collection is actually b+w.
It is interesting to note that, since I started the members' group a week ago, it has aquired a total of 3 members and the 5 pictures that have been posted have attracted a total of 12 unique views and no comments, tips or advice. By comparison the 3 pictures I have posted have attracted 128 unique views and 33 comments, tips or advice. In addition the one picture that I have allowed modifications to has had 4 different approaches posted. Consequently I am of the opinion that it would be better to work on the epz Team to add a catagory for historic photographs. I am sure that interest and discussion stimulated would be much greater that way than through Members' Groups. Perhaps they could be developed in conjunction with each other, but at the moment I'm not convinced.
Your thoughts please.
Thanks and regards,

Thanks TT, putting them in play tomorrow at La Costa!
nice.. hope to get some soon..
WOW!!!! Test balls are already out!!! I hope I'm lucky enough to test some out.
Would love to test something along the lines of the ProV or ProV1's.
Messed around with them today...will not tell which shape I preferred to not skew results.
Ball A on the first hole...hit a wedge into the green and it released about 8 feet. Odd...not my usual with my v1x. This ball also putted with a heavier feel.
Ball B I used the majority of the round...no lie, it felt longer than my normal ball by about a 1/2 an iron...hit some bombs with the driver. Softer feel off the putter than my normal v1x.
i hope they are not the same ball and I got found out how mental i am...they definitely felt different.
Played them today.. Great feel and distance from the square balls, surprised that a softer ball is longer than the harder one.
Cannot wait to see what it would be.
I think its cool that they just have circles and squares on them. Mine appeared to be black ProV1's

Wine doesn't bite, kick, spit or talk back.
So what does it mean to say a wine is approachable?
Approachable is shorthand meaning a wine is ready to drink right now; big tannins won't rough you up if you uncork it.
Wine doesn't bite, kick, spit or talk back.
So what does it mean to say a wine is approachable?
Approachable is shorthand meaning a wine is ready to drink right now; big tannins won't rough you up if you uncork it.
During cold and rainy February, the vines are dormant. Few of us want to visit wine country at this time of year (though, you can get some great bargains) —
Here are some timely tasks to sit 'n sip with:
1. Reorganize your wine collection in a way that makes you happy – i.e., all the wines from your favorite winery in one spot, rather than spread out per varietal.
2. Start a list of wines you would like to try this year… be daring!
3. Plan a wine tasting party. Our favorite is a Varietal Appetizer party. Choose a couple of wine types, say Chardonnay and Zinfandel. Then ask everyone to bring an appetizer that goes with one or the other.
4. Choose a wine book to read this year. It's fun to go on the web and start exploring wine books past and present.
Winemakers often boast that day to nighttime temperature shifts in their region are huge, sometimes 50 degrees.
This is important to wine quality, but how?
Here, August "Joe" Briggs, Founder of August Briggs Wines in Napa, gives us his take:
The temperature differential allows the grape to rest. At high temperature, the vine is respiring and taking up water and nutrients at a fast clip. In areas where the temperature drops sharply at night, the vines slow way down, and the fruit has the chance to retain acid. That temperature spike up in the day and drop off at night helps keep the fruit in balance.
Harvesting at night has taken hold in California wine country, especially when days are very hot.
We expect to see more of it this year.
By setting up huge lights in the vineyard and starting in the wee hours, say 4am, it's cool, and the bees and wasps aren't awake yet. The conditions are much easier for the harvesters.
Plus, the grapes will definitely come to the winery in excellent condition, since they were picked during chill temperatures.
Now, that's cool.
Most wineries are named after the founders, but there are exceptions. Can you come up with the meaning of each of these names?
2. Pietra Santa
3. Castoro
Here are the answers:
1. EOS = the goddess of the dawn
2. Blessed stone
3. It means "beaver" in Italian – for its "eager beaver" founder, Niels Udsen.
4. Zero Defects, an engineering term (the founders were engineers)
Okay, let's get real. Valentine's Day wouldn't be right without something chocolate.
Here's a little something that will knock the socks off your special someone.
Watch out – it can be addictive!
Vince & Eddie's Deep Chocolate Pudding
(from the late Vince & Eddies restaurant in NYC)
Combine milk, cocoa, sugar, salt and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring constantly until thickened. Combine chocolate, butter and vanilla in bowl. Pour milk mixture over chocolate mixture. Mix well. Pour through fine strainer. Distribute chocolate pudding among 6 glass bowls. Chill in refrigerator. When chilled, top with whipped cream and nuts.
403 calories per serving
In bowl, whip cream with vanilla and sugar until stiff.
What wine will you serve your sweetheart with your Deep Chocolate Pudding?
We'd recommend a Merlot or a chocolately Cab, maybe even a Syrah!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner. How about pledging to give yourself a Valentine every day, with a glass of wine?
What if you sat down to sip for a few minutes, set aside to savor the aromas, flavors and textures – and the moment.
"Embrace what is," as the saying goes. Why not embrace something pleasurable, maybe memorable, definitely beautiful as it glows ruby or gold in your glass?
Breathe in summer raspberries with a Pinot Noir or ripe cherries with a Cabernet. Visit Tahiti with the tropical flavors of a smooth Chardonnay.
Give your heart a break and get off the merry-go-round of busy-busy-busy with a glass of wine. In moderation, it's a health trip all by itself.
We dare you!
Go ahead. Uncork and unplug, and be your own Valentine.

On her way into the Bonham Oval show ring atop her trusted mount, Brunello, in the second and final round of Friday night's $20,000 International Hunter Derby presented by the Tack Room, Liza Towell Boyd hopped off one of her horses, and then got aboard another before making her way into the ring.
A strained right forearm landed Camden native Michael Kohn on the 15-day disabled list to open the 2012 Major League season for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Some ballparks giveth. But when it comes to American Legion Park, the big ball yard in Camden usually takeths away.
Saving their best for last, Lugoff-Elgin and host Camden sent their respective aces to the mound in Wednesday's Telasco Alarm Service Camden Spring Break Tournament finale.
On a young and deep Lugoff-Elgin pitching staff, Zack Bowers sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.
Now comes time for a different equine event.
Like having to dig through the cereal box to get your prize, North Central found what it was looking for --- and needed --- in the bottom third of its batting order.
When you don't have a jumper in the big race, winning the co-feature will have to do.
Paddy Young, the three-time defending National Steeplechase Association leading rider, sustained a compound fracture to his right forearm, between the wrist and elbow, as the result of a fall in Saturday's $25,000 Camden Plate, the first steeplechase race of the day at the Carolina Cup.
There are times during a race when you find out what your horse is made of.
Sometimes the grass is indeed greener, if not firmer, on the other side of the Atlantic.
After two races on American soil, Black Jack Blues has yet to see the backside of another horse.
When in doubt, stick to what you do best.
When their two daughters took their respective turns going off to college, John and Sandy Cushman did what all responsible parents do when their children leave home for the first time.
With Saturday's 80th running of the Carolina Cup Steeplechase Races just four days away, last-minute shoppers have been gobbling up the remaining reserved parking spaces for the Camden spring classic, leaving few spots remaining inside the Springdale Race Course.
In this era in which virtually any game can be seen on television at almost any time, sports other than the big three of baseball, football and basketball have found their own niche with either longstanding or, new fans.
There had been colder and wetter Colonial Cup race days, but maybe not as many sunny or, brisk ones as Saturday's 45th edition of the Camden fall classic contested over the Springdale Racecourse.
Much to the chagrin of many shivering fans at Saturday's 45th running of the Marion duPont Scott International Colonial Cup Steeplechase, the weather forecasters were correct.
Divine intervention, meet Divine Fortune.
Led by five from North Central's AA Upper State runner-up squad, 10 Kershaw County volleyball players earned post-season honors for their performance on the court this past season.

John Henry (Bud) Brillisour
John Henry "Bud" Brillisour, of Livermore, was born to Wilma and John Brillisour in Cicero, Ill. In 1950 Bud married the love of his life, Ruth (Maggach) Brillisour, and they were married almost 60 years when she went to be with her Lord in 2010. Together they raised their family, later retiring to Placerville. They are survived by their daughters, Cynthia (Toby) Kekke of Modesto, Karyn (Normann) Sivertsen of Alameda/Auburn, Lauren Downes of San Ramon and Kelly (Mike) Polvi of Oregon/Colorado. Bud was a proud grandfather to Rachel (deceased 2009), Trevor (Christina) Kekke and Marissa Kekke, Emery and Jamie Downes and Lacey and Noelle Polvi; and great-grandchild, Asher John Kekke.
At the age of 15, Bud and his father came to California, where, after lying about his age, he became a journeyman steamfitter at Richmond Shipyard No. 3. He joined the Army at 18, serving in Japan. He went on to become an electrical contractor, owning Castro Valley Electric until his first retirement. Bud began a lifelong passion for motorcycles and racing when the Hayward Motorcycle Club built their first track in 1946. He and Ruth owned and operated Carnegie Motorcycle Park in Livermore, Calif., host to world champion racers from around the globe.
After retirement No. 2, they had great times with their CalTex friends, touring the United States on their motorcycle. They continued to enjoy riding their motorcycle and traveling with their 10-10 camping club until they were in their 80s. The memories of summers on Lake Tulloch and Lake of the Pines, hunting trips with his Chesapeake Retriever, Penny, and the stories that Bud always had for every situation will continue to keep his family and friends smiling and laughing for years to come.
As Bud stated, the straights were getting shorter and the corners way too tight, and he passed peacefully on Dec. 5, 2012. At his request no services are planned. Donations are welcome in his memory to the Mosquito Volunteer Fire Department, 8801 Rock Creek Road, Placerville, CA 95667.

A guide to Atlanta's winter farmers markets
Grab your favorite goods before they're gone
With approximately 40 farmers markets planted across metro Atlanta, farmers are doing whatever they can to win over customers, including extending their operating season beyond October. So before you start digging for cans in your pantry, here are a few alternatives.Read more
Roasted sweet potato, apple, and brown rice salad
Fall favorites come together in this nutty, earthy side dish. Ingredients 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/4 cup olive oil, divided Kosher salt and pepper 1 shallot, finely chopped, divided 1 teaspoon honey 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tart apple, quartered, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup […]Read more
Savory acorn squash puree
Winter squashes get their name from their long-lasting storage talents, but the bulk of the crop is actually harvested in late summer. One of my favorite ways to prepare it is also one of the simplest.Read more
This month's farmers market find: beets
Forget the mushy canned kind—fresh beets are sweet and nutty
Have you hated beets since you were a kid? Blame your parents for making you eat the mushy canned ones. But those of us who love this root vegetable know that fresh beets are sweet and nutty, firm in texture, and beautiful—emerging from the ground in shades of white, gold, magenta, candy-striped, and dark maroon.Read more
Fresh tomato lasagna
Choose the best summer slicer tomatoes you can for this lasagna, which is just a thinly veiled excuse for eating the last of the tomatoes as fall comes around. The tomatoes, preferably from your nearby farmers market or your own garden, can be a little overripe or slightly blemished, but under-ripe will not do.Read more
Fall farmers market find: Asian greens
Closely related to turnip greens, Asian greens add a mustardy heat to salad, stir-fry, or soup
With names like tatsoi and komatsuna, the Asian greens of fall farmers markets may look and sound exotic, but they're actually close cousins to the turnip greens many of us grew up with.Read more
Muscadines: The South's most popular indigenous grape
These earthy fruits can be used for late summer wines and jellys
Muscadines, the South's most popular indigenous grape, appear pervasively at farmers markets and in grocery stores through late summer and into fall. Similar in taste to common table grapes but with an earthier undertone, muscadines are seeded and have thick skins that soften appealingly when cooked.Read more
Summer salad of grilled corn and tomatoes
Tender grilled corn, crisp cucumber, and sweet onion provide the perfect backdrop for juicy, colorful, heirloom tomatoes. Don't worry too much about measurements—you can't go wrong with these summer favorites in any proportion. —Deborah GeeringRead more
Eggplant with orzo, tomato and chickpeas
This medley of Mediterranean flavors comes off more as a warm salad than a pasta main. Salting and roasting the eggplant ensure that the texture will be tender, not rubbery. Serve it with grilled lamb chops or a steak.Read more
Chai Pani's Corn Bhel
Just in time for the local sweet corn season, Chai Pani in Decatur offers this recipe for a refreshing summer salad. Cumin Lime Dressing will store in the refrigerator for a few days, so use any extra to dress a salad of lettuce or arugula, grapefruit slices and avocado.Read more

This is a wonderfully designed Reversi Set crafted from dyed Beech wood.
The distinctive design of the Reversi board is complimented by the two tone wooden marbles made from Paduak and Beech wood. When pieces are taken, simply rotate the ball in the cup to change its colour.
Reversi was invented in the Victorian era - one of many popular new board games that appeared in the late 1900s. Later re-launched in the 70's under the Othello brand and given a new lease of life as part of the Windows operating system, it is one of only a few Victorian parlour games that have stood the test of time...

Aug 26, 2013Pikmin 3 might not be the game that gets people rushing to buy a Wii U, but it certainly should be.
Jul 31, 2013The ending may not be the best thing ever, but it can't tarnish the incredible enjoyment you'll get out of Pikmin 3. This is probably the best game yet on Wii U.
Jul 22, 2013Pikmin 3 is a great refinement of the original formula and is still a joy to play. But after nine years we expected some more content, and the final stage is really disappointing.
Aug 23, 2013Pikmin 3 is the game that should have launched the Wii U. Its combination of calming atmosphere and strategic gameplay create a unique and mesmerising experience while it lasts. While it may be over too soon for some players it still remains by far the best first party game currently available for Nintendo's latest system.
Aug 6, 2013Pikmin 3 is a fantastic game that oozes with charm. The levels are short enough that they scream "just one more day". It also helps that game play is so tight, and the design feels so good. While it may not be my most anticipated franchise from the Nintendo stables, I cannot help but fall in love with the quirky Koppites and their quest for food. Pikmin 3 is one of the best reasons to own a Wii U so far.
Sep 16, 2013Pikmin 3 is a cute game with plenty of soul. It takes the concept from the two previous games one step further with the way it combines tactics with roleplaying. In terms of graphics this is probably the most beautiful game the world has ever seen on a Nintendo console.
Aug 6, 2013The new flying pikmin are a nifty twist for how they break the level design.
Score distribution:
Positive: 110 out of 114
Mixed: 2 out of 114
Negative: 2 out of 114
Aug 10, 2013This game is the most toughest game in the series.... Miyamoto was NOT kidding! The best elements from previous games in the series were put into Pikmin 3 and how does the end result do? It is the best Pikmin and I highly recommend all Wii U owners to get the game as soon as you can and play it because I may even call it a masterpiece of a game. Although series composer Hajime Wakai only composed a handful of new music himself (while two newcomers compose the rest), the game still reuses some classic music (e.g. day ending theme, end day results) that veterans will enjoy the nostalgia.… Expand
Aug 16, 2013Wonderful game brimming with Nintendo magic and charm. The graphics are lovely in HD, the soundtrack is mesmerizing, and the game-play is loads of fun.… Expand
Aug 5, 2013It's the best Wii U game I've ever played. And it's also one of the best games I've ever played on any consoles. It's a simplified RTS that has cute graphics and theme. "Simplified" means it's not as stressful as starcraft II. There's also no strict goal you should accomplish like in sc2. It's more open IMO. You can choose your own phase as long as you get enough food.
The story mode is addictive and feels rewarding. The gameplay is also broken down into days. Some people complained about the restriction but I think it's good and more realistic. You have more control over how much time do you need to play the game until next stop. Quite good for people with tight schedule but still want to play a good game.
I used to play with only the gamepad, but found later that the wii remote is a much better choice. It's frustrating to use the gamepad to select pikmins to whistle at. However you still need the gamepad to see maps. And only on map can you set a goal so a player can "Go there" by his/her own. This way you can set 3 leaders to go to different places at the same time.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013A few frustrating moments using the gamepad lessened my overall enjoyment with the experience, I recommend wii mote nunchuck for some battles. Overall great game though. I read that Miyamoto is possibly prepping up some downloadable expansion content. I hope this happens!… Expand
Nov 12, 2013Simply put, this game is inferior in almost every way shape and form to the previous entries in terms of gameplay. It ranges from little issues such as the character not adjusting to the camera when moving which forces you to stop moving just to recenter and fixed camera angles which force you to move around until it breaks free, to big problems such as guiding the Pikmin with the C-Stick being taken out entirely or the fact that the whistle ranges is far too sensitive and does not cover nearly enough space as it needs to.
My biggest problem however, comes from organization. The areas are now so big that they require load screens to change areas which are actually quite fast. Here's the thing though, you change screens instantly while your Pikmin do not. As such Pikmin can get stuck in a load screen while sunset is approaching and get left behind before they can change screens. Pikmin also have a new feature in regards to piles of fruit or bridge pieces in that they will return to gather more upon delivering the piece they are holding.
This sounds good in theory, but seeing you'll have more than enough Pikmin to gather up the entire pile in a single trip it just makes you wish the Pikmin would stay at the base as opposed to returning to the location and standing idle. Even the whistle has now got some serious issues. The whistle's sensitivity is too high and as such can be tricky to aim when trying to gather a group of Pikmin.
During boss fights you are often in a large room that the Pikmin will be thrown around in and it's frustrating trying to gather them all up when you can't move your whistle appropriately and lose Pikmin that you could have saved in the other two games.
It's just a miserable experience when you really think about it as you play.… Expand

Cook Time:

I often make sweet clafouti, especially with cherries; but recently, I ate a savoury one in a restaurant - it was delicious! Much lighter than a gratin and a wonderful, colourful recipe idea for a vegetable accompaniment OR a light lunch or starter. This is the version I invented using yellow & green courgettes with little cherry tomatoes. I used grated parmesan cheese and it worked perfectly! I made this in a 30cm/12" long oval earthenware French Tian; any attractive oven to table baking dish would be suitable.

The outer limits of vintage tech uncovered
Summary: The return of the Amiga and a rare sighting of an Acorn laptop are here in a look at the more unusual tech at the UK's first Vintage Computer Festival
1 of 8Image
On 17 June, 2,000 fans of old technology descended on the Bletchley Park for the UK's first Vintage Computer Festival. The event showed that Bletchley still has many secrets — and so do its visitors.
This peculiar device tells the time through a mixture of cogs, wheels and 1940s telephone exchange switches called uniselectors. Although made to a very high standard, it contains no makers marks or identification and appears to be unique: nothing like it is known. The owner, Michael Saunby, has documented it in great detail, and is very keen to find out more.
It wasn't just the exhibits and the presence of legacy journalists that made the Vintage Computer Festival reminiscent of the 1980s micro scene. A new Amiga — the X1000 — got launched.
Well, not really launched: it had been announced earlier in the year. Little details like the manufacturer of the PowerPC CPU, the price, performance and availability are still secret. However, it will have an 500 MHz XMOS co-processor — the reconfigurable hardware technology created by ex-Inmos designers — and run AmigaOS 4.
Why an XMOS co-processor? Why not, is the answer: it really is the '80s all over again. No final cases either, but here's a shot of the circuit board.

Apple to pay $40 to iPad 3G owners in class action settlement
Gigaom is reporting that Apple and AT&T have reached a settlement agreement as it pertains to a class action lawsuit relating to AT&T's now-defunct unlimited data plan for the iPad 3G.
The lawsuit was originally filed back in June of 2010 and accused both Apple and AT&T of touting unlimited data on the iPad 3G model upon launch, only to have AT&T do away with unlimited data a few months after the iPad was released. The lawsuit claimed that affected users were victims of a "bait and switch" maneuver.
Now, a tad more than three years later, a settlement has been reached that will see Apple pay out US$40 to every individual who purchased an iPad 3G model before June 7, 2010. Further, individuals who purchased an iPad 3G model, but didn't sign up for a data plan will be eligible for a $20/month discount (for 12 months in duration) on AT&T's 5GB monthly plan.
The ruling will be finalized in February so eligible iPad owners will have to wait a few more months for their payout.A copy of the order can be viewed in its entirety below.

WASHINGTON (AP) Attorney General Eric Holder is calling on European nations to deal more aggressively with the threat posed by Westerners who have traveled to Syria to join the fighting there.
In a speech before Norwegian diplomats, Holder is encouraging European countries to pass laws that make it illegal to plan an act of terrorism. He also suggests that law enforcement there conduct undercover operations against citizens planning to visit Syria.
He says the situation in Syria represents a "global crisis" and that the region is a "cradle of violent extremism."
The speech comes amid growing concerns about citizens from the United States and Europe who are traveling to Syria to join the fight against the Syrian government. U.S. officials fear those individuals could easily return home radicalized and apply terrorist training.

I bought this for myself because I had a cross necklace but it broke. This one is absolutely gorgeous. The cross is a very nice shape and the diamonds are stunning and really make the piece what it is. The cross is a good size and the length of the chain is perfect. What a great deal too
I coudn't give this diamond cross necklace 4 1/2 stars; so I am giving it five because it is better than four stars. It is gorgeous; but the first one I got had one discolored diamond and one diamond missing! I contacted O. customer service and they quickly sent me a replacement. This one is perfect---and so is O.'s customer service! Very pleased with this diamond cross pendant. I did replace the chain it came with a stronger one from my own jewelry box & that's o.k. because I prefer a longer chain with a lobster clasp anyway. This diamond pendant is a very good value compared with ones I've looked at in jewelry stores. It has a beautiful design, perfect size, and sparkles like crazy!
This is a very beautiful diamond cross that is classy and reasonably priced.
I purchased this necklace and identical one in 10k. gold. The silver out shines the gold by far. Its lighter and brighter, and the diamonds in the 10k piece looked dark, if you read the two descriptions it does say they use higher quality diamonds in the silver pendant. Gold being more, silver looks better...gold is going back..i'm keeping the silver for a fraction of the cost. With my o dollars and extra discount i'm getting the silver one for next to nothing...
The shape of this cross is very unique and comfortable. No sharp edges to get caught on! The diamonds are a very nice quality and sparkle even though they are tiny! This is a piece of jewelry you will be proud to wear and will get tons of complements on your choice!
I wanted to buy myself a beautiful cross for a while. But the style that i want is very expensive when i saw it in the store. I checked Overstock and found this. Exactly what i want for very reasonable price for good quality.
I bought this cross for my granddaughter who is graduating from college. It is so elegant , the perfect gift.
Bought it for my gf who loves it. It's very cute, sparkles, and looks way more expensive that it's price. Good value.
My 16 year old daughter loved it. Dainty but very pretty
Good deal...For G-H i thought the diamonds would be a little better...but for the price it was worth it...tossed the chain it came with and paired it with a nice 22" rope chain...had to widen the loop hole to fit the new chain in as it was originally designed for an extremely small chain...Got it for myself and would reccommend it

A U.S. drone attack early Thursday morning killed nine suspected militants. Reuters reports [6]:
"Nine suspected al Qaeda militants were killed in what a security source and residents said was a U.S. drone attack on a farmhouse outside a town in southern Yemen that was held by militants last year.
"The farmhouse just west of Jaar, one of two southern towns that Yemen's army took back from rebel control this summer, was hit by three separate missile strikes at dawn, they said.
"The residents said they found six charred bodies and the scattered remains of three other people, including Nader al-Shaddadi, a senior al Qaeda militant in the southern Abyan province who led the group that occupied Jaar."

INDIANAPOLIS – The State Ethics Commission on Thursday accepted a settlement requiring Tony Bennett to pay $5,000 for an ethics violation and then turned its attention to the revolving door at the Indiana Department of Transportation.
The settlement between the former superintendent of public instruction and the state inspector general was released late Wednesday. The commission had no discussion on the matter.
He accepts full responsibility for the mistakes he made, said Larry Mackey, attorney for Bennett. As a state office holder he held that responsibility with great concern that you serve as an example to everyone. He is with full measure disappointed with this outcome.
Bennett, who was defeated by Democrat Glenda Ritz in November 2012, did not attend Thursday's meeting.
Inspector General David Thomas found that Bennett – as a state officer, not an employee – could campaign on state time.
But he couldn't use state equipment, such as his office, email and computers, to engage in political activity without a policy allowing it. That policy did not exist.
Another case the commission had seemed to give them much more concern.
INDOT Chief of Staff Troy Woodruff, a former state legislator, asked the panel to approve a screening process that would eliminate conflicts while he negotiates a possible job with RQAW, an engineering consulting firm that frequently bids on state work.
Woodruff also has served on a selection review team and has signed contracts with RQAW.
The internal screening process has been in place since June 23 when the possible job came to light. Woodruff said the company did not approach him about the opportunity.
Commission members easily accepted the firewall plan to separate himself from any current business with RQAW but seemed concerned that Woodruff wasn't seeking approval for him to take the job under Indiana's post-employment restrictions.
Ethics Chairman James Clevenger said he has serious issues with Woodruff seeking a job with a company he has acted on contracts with.
The next step is going to a difficult one for me, he said. If you got a waiver, I guess that's another matter.
State law allows an employee's boss to waive the one-year cooling-off period, which means INDOT Commissioner Karl Browning could allow the move without the ethics commission's approval.
Browning can't waive one section of the law that generally prohibits a quid-pro-quo system.
It says a state employee cannot accept employment if the circumstances would lead a reasonable person to believe that the job is given or had been offered for the purpose of influencing the former state employee in the performance of his duties while a state employee.
Woodruff, meanwhile, is under investigation to the inspector general because he did not disclose to ethics officials a land sale for the Interstate 69 project as well as other possible ethical breaches, including allegations of nepotism.
An Indianapolis Star investigation also uncovered six I-69 deals that paid $1.86 million to Woodruff's uncle and cousins, who then bought land from Woodruff and his family for more than market value.
The ethics commission also considered Thursday a similar case to Woodruff's involving another INDOT employee. He sought a screen, which was approved but hasn't asked for an opinion yet on post-employment restrictions.
In other business, the panel cleared the way for Gov. Mike Pence's deputy chief of staff to return to her private legal practice. She previously received clearance last year but stayed on unexpectedly for one year.
And the group gave a favorable opinion to the inspector general himself – Thomas – who will leave by the end of the year.
He has served 10 years in the position, first being appointed when Gov. Mitch Daniels created the office.
He previously was a county prosecutor, and a new law now allows senior prosecutors to work full time. This would allow Thomas to prosecute cases on a full-time basis. He likely would be tapped by judges to handle cases when conflicts arise in counties.
Thomas said he would not handle any cases investigated by his own office.
