Baby Sweet Potatoes
- 2
- Follow
I bought baby sweet potatoes at Trader Joe's this week. They look kind of like fingerling potatoes, but instead they are sweet potatoes. Any suggestions on how to cook them? I was thinking to just to bake them with some butter but am open to other ideas. Thanks in advance!
I made them last week-the sweet potatoes and yams? I sliced them in 1-2 inch rounds tossed very lightly in olive oil, and fresh rosemary leaves and roasted in a hot oven until soft and a bit caramelized. Finished with salt and pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Wonderful, Served with grilled mahi mahi on the george foreman.

POSTED: Friday, August 20, 2010 - 5:58pm
UPDATED: Monday, August 23, 2010 - 8:22pm
Here's one for you.
Starting today, the Associated Press, a news service this newsroom subscribes to, has ordered it's staff to 'Stop Using the Phrase "Ground Zero Mosque"'
This from Newsbusters.
In an unusual move, the Associated Press has publicly released an advisory memo to its reporters on how to cover of the Ground Zero mosque story - and the first rule is that journalists must immediately stop calling it the "Ground Zero mosque" story.
Here is the plan now for the AP. "We should continue to avoid the phrase 'Ground zero mosque' or 'mosque at ground zero' on all platforms,"
Instead of the "Ground Zero mosque," AP recommends that reporters use the terms "mosque 2 blocks from WTC site," "Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site," "mosque near ground zero," or "mosque near WTC site."
The AP suggests that it might "useful in some stories to note that Muslim prayer services have been held since 2009 in the building that the new project will replace."
In addition, the news service offers a "succinct summary of President Obama's position" on the mosque, but doesn't include the positions of any other politicians.
And you think the national press hasn't taken sides on the mosque issue?

table of contents
Mystérique Sign
So, yes, according to the order I've been recommended, we're
going to find out what's up with that dead guy on the island yet, but rather, we're going to view the
episode on the disc.
Kyon tells us about something that happened during final exams. Haruhi, who suffered a bout of melancholy (first time I've heard that word spoken in the series) during Tanabata, recovered from it well enough to do what she wanted. However, it seems Kyon himself caught it. Haruhi, as usual, had time left over afterward, and was sleeping soundly 30 minutes before the test time was up. Kyon found this annoying.
("Bouken desho desho?")
Haruhi's belief is that the SOS Brigade has no breaks, even during exams, when club activies usually stop. Kyon compares it to a convenience store. Haruhi calls Kyon over from his game of Reversi with Itsuki to look at something on the computer. It's a green, blue, and red thing that looks like a circular maze, and Kyon can't tell what it is. Haruhi reveals what we know by now: It's the SOS Brigade logo. Kyon thinks it looks like a drunken tapeworm wrapped around a tube. Haruhi tells him to look closer, and points out that it says "SOS Brigade" right in the middle. Given the pointing out, Kyon moves from definitely not being able to see it to being unsure as to whether he can, but wouldn't disagree if someone said one way or the other. He narrates it to us in a more negative-y way, and wonders how many he used, and if someone has the time, they can total it up. Haruhi hears the narration and tells him he's got the most free time. Haruhi is considering putting it on their home page. It's not getting them visitors, which frustrates her. There's no content that livens it up, and she thinks that it's because Kyon got in the way of her posting ero-ero pictures of Mikuru. So, she decided to go with the logo approach. Kyon just thinks they should pull the site off the Net, but doesn't say so. The hit counter is still in double digits, and 90% of the hits was Haruhi checking for hits. (Y'know, hit counters should really filter out the site owner if you ask them to.) Kyon says she should write a blog, especially considering it's the leader's job to keep an activity record, but she considers that a hassle, and Kyon thinks the same thing for him. So now she wants him to put the logo on the site. He asks why she doesn't do it, and she says her job is to give orders. And if she did everything, there'd be nothing left for the rest of them. She asks how he expects to improve himself if he only does what he's told. He asks if she's telling him to do it or not, and she says to get on it. He reluctantly sat down and shrunk her picture to an appropriate size, pasted it into the file, and uploaded it.
Starting tomorrow, and going 'til summer break, exams are off. It's also when the teachers mark Kyon's answers wrong. He figures he'll ogle Mikuru for some comfort. He knocked on the door, expecting her to call out a wispy, "Yes?", but instead, Haruhi's voice telling him to come in. He opens the door to find Haruhi at the computer. Kyon asks if she's the only one here. Apparently, he doesn't make a habit of looking around the room, or Yuki's really good at blending in with the scenery, because she's here, as well. Okay, Kyon counts her as more of an accessory to the room rather than a member. Officially, she's a member of the literary club. (So is that club not cut from the list yet, or...?) So, he rephrases himself, asking if she and Yuki are the only ones there. Haruhi asks if he wants to file a complaint about it. Kyon thinks his complaints taken together would fill both sides of an A4-sized page. When he knocked, she thought they had a visitor. Kyon was taking a precaution against seeing Mikuru being changed again. Since, as he thinks, she doesn't get how to lock a door. He asks about a visitor. Haruhi seems surprised he doesn't remember. He hopes she won't say anything about Tanabata of three years ago. It's something he did without her permission. He claims not to know what she's talking about. It was the posters he put up. He lets us know that he put them up so the student council would keep it as a jack-of-all-trades counseling thing. He drew them himself and put them up.
Anyway, Haruhi points him to something she thinks is weird: the logo was warped like it was gather filtered. Also, the counter and title logo were gone. (Also, um, the encoding? It probably shouldn't be displaying accented capital Latin letters, a division symbol, a superscript "a", and the section sign.) It was subtle, but also different from what he had made. He tried reloading, but the server's file was corrupted. He asks if she knows how long it was like that, but she doesn't. (He could probably get an accurate answer from Yuki...) She asks who she can complain to. Kyon figures it's not worth doing that, and simply reuploads. No change. Haruhi figures it's hackers or crackers, but Kyon thinks it's just an error. Haruhi finds it irritating, and wonders if someone's doing a cyberterrorist attack. For some reason, we're zooming in on Yuki as Haruhi says she'll sentence whoever it is to 30 days of community service without trial.
There's a knock at the door, and Haruhi tells whoever it is to come in. It's Itsuki, who also finds it unusual that Mikuru isn't there. Haruhi brings up that juniors might have more exams to take. Kyon thinks to himself that everyone should go home, and wonders why they all want to meet there. He also wonders why Haruhi doesn't question Itsuki's knocking. (Well, you already provided a legitimate reason. Maybe she just figures his is the same.) Itsuki holds up a box of Chinese Checkers, but Kyon shakes his head. He's looking forward to Mikuru's tea.
Later, Kyon's still at the computer, stuck catering to Haruhi's orders. Finally, there's a knock, possibly granting Kyon a reprieve. It's Mikuru, offering her apologies for being late, as she had exams until fourth period. Kyon considers her the clubroom angel. Also, she brought a visitor: a girl with light green hair as long as her own, and orange hair decs on both sides. She bows.
Kyon can hardly believe that someone came to them for counseling. Her name is Kimidori Emiri (using the traditional Japanese name order), and she's a junior who seems very quiet and pure. (Yes, Kimidori, not Kato.) Haruhi summarizes her request — to find her missing boyfriend — whilst balancing a pen on her upper lip. She says "Yes." It seems she took his posters at face value. He asks what's troubling her. She says he hasn't been to school for days on end. When she calls, he doesn't answer either his cell or his home phone. She went to his house, but he wasn't there. And he lives alone, as his parents apparently live overseas, and she doesn't have their contact information. Haruhi guesses Canada, but Emiri says Honduras. Haruhi gives an enthusiastic "Indeed!", which Kyon wonders what that's about. He doesn't think she knows where it is. Kyon guesses it's somewhere below Mexico. (Well, it is in Central America, if that's what he means. I need a bit of a refresher to get its exact location, myself. Aha, here we go: bordering countries are Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.) The house was pitch black when she did so, as well. She's worried. Haruhi says she understands how she feels. Kyon thinks to himself that she's lying. Haruhi wonders why she came to them. (And not, say, the missing persons division of the police department.) Apparently, he used to talk about them often. She gives his name to them, but we had to cut to a meowing cat so we couldn't hear. Haruhi asks who he is. (There's no audio, but the subtitle tells us that it sounded like he got along really well with the SOS Brigade. But then she says he's the president of the computer club.

Hoo boy. Kyon remembers who that is: he's the one Haruhi forced to grope Mikuru's breast and then took pictures of, and then blackmailed into giving them a computer (and hook them up with internet, etc.) Kyon had totally forgotten about him. Haruhi figures they'll handle it, and since she's their first client, it's no charge! Kyon wonders about her planning on charging.
Mikuru silently enters the room where everyone is. Kyon asks Haruhi what she'll do if they can't solve the case that she accepted so easily. Haruhi doesn't even (audibly) consider the possibility. She thinks it's just a two-month-late occurrance of the "May melancholies". She thinks they'll just go to his room, slap him around a little, and drag him out. Kyon thinks she's serious. He wonders, though, with a girlfriend like Emiri, why he's hiding out in the Computer Club. He asks Mikuru if she and Emiri are friends, but she's never spoken to her before today. Kyon's thinking what I thought: Why didn't she go to a teacher or the police? He then wonders if she did, and they didn't take her seriously. He also thinks Haruhi's using this to attract bigger cases. (Oh, she finds bigger cases, all right, as we've seen.) Haruhi figures they can pass out fliers at the front gate like last time, but the idea seems to distress Mikuru.
The president's place seems pretty average to Kyon, as one-room condos go. 3-and-a-half floors and a basement. They enter, and find his door. (It certainly looks like it's going to do
; it's drawn like it's going to move at least a little.) Haruhi jiggles the handle, but the door is locked. She rings the doorbell. Kyon thinks she got the order mixed up. She suggests going up on the balcony and breaking the glass. Problems: it's on the 3rd floor, and they're not burglars. Kyon doesn't want a criminal record (yet). She then figures they'll go to the manager and borrow a key. She'll say they're concerned friends. Kyon thinks that excuse is getting old. The door then clicked, and Yuki stared at Kyon "with eyes like liquid helium". (Fun fact: Helium
at −452.07 °F, or −268.93 °C. That's one cold look. It also melts at −457.96 °F, or −272.20 °C, so those eyes are at a fairly precise metaphorical temperature.) Haruhi says she didn't realize it was open. So, they go in. Haruhi thinks he's hiding under the bed or something. Kyon realizes she doesn't feel guilty about the whole computer thing.
So they look, and he's not there. (There's a live action poster on the wall above his bed. Anybody want to take a stab at identifying the people on it?) Haruhi thought he'd be in a corner curled up in a ball. She asks Kyon where he thinks someone with May melancholies two months late might go. He thinks he's either traveling Central and South America, or he doesn't want to be found. We look at books on a bookshelf, but there's too much kanji for me to even attempt a romanization. Yuki says, as the first words Kyon's heard from her that day, that they should leave. Itsuki concurs. Kyon is freaked out by his seriousness and facial closeness. He backs off a couple of inches, but reveals he's feeling strange in there, and says he's all too familiar with it when Haruhi discovers
warabi mochi
with an expiry date of three days prior. She thinks they should eat it, as it'd be a waste to throw it out. She tries to force Mikuru to eat it. Itsuki finds that the room has the familiar scent of closed space. Kyon recalls that he's a real esper. Yuki says there's another dimensional layer, and it's beginning to shift. Kyon comes to realize they'd better book. Haruhi's eating some mochi.
They get outside. Haruhi is starving, so she figures that's it for the day, and dismisses them. Kyon asks about the case. Haruhi says they'll figure it out. Kyon thinks she's already bored. She runs off. They start to depart, as well, but there's a cut, and the three non-Haruhi extraordinary members of the club are still standing together, and Kyon is returning to them. Mikuru asks if something's the matter. Apparently, he wanted them to come back together without her seeing. He reveals to her that Itsuki and Yuki think there's something up with that room, and they'll find out what if they go again. They go.
Yuki reveals that there's "a localized, noncorrosive, fused alternate space" in that room, "happening independently in limited mode." Kyon thinks it's like she pulled words at random from a dictionary. Itsuki translates that there's something similar to closed space there. It's not the same as Haruhi's, as they have a different scent. He asks her if it's related to the disappearance of the computer club president. She says it is. She raises her hand, and some... noise comes out. All goes white. Kyon says he should've told her to wait. Now, the four are standing in what appears to be the middle of a vast desert. Mikuru grasps Kyon's forearm in fear. Kyon's mind is too busy trying to figure out where he is to enjoy that. Yuki says she's analyzed the entry code. It overlaps standard space, and is merely out of phase. Itsuki says it doesn't seem like closed space. Yuki says it's very similar, but there's some spatial data with "junk" information that seems to have come from Haruhi, but not much; she only triggered it. Kyon wonders if he and Mikuru can join the conversation. He asks if the president is here, and Itsuki says it seems that way. The alternate space created itself in his room, and he got trapped in it. Itsuki looks at Yuki, who starts to raise her hand, but Kyon says to wait, and asks to be told what she's about to do so he can be ready. She says "Nothing," and points out... some kind of freaky distorted image. Itsuki can feel its animosity. Kyon thinks those two can defend themselves, but Kyon and Mikuru have nothing. Kyon asks if she has lasre guns or anything, but she doesn't; they're not allowed firearms, as it's dangerous. Kyon thinks they wouldn't do her any good, and might also get left on the train or something. (Also, you know, killing someone in the past might make the Nazis win or whatever.) All of a sudden, the distortion stops moving, then manifests in the form of a giant insect. Specifically, a
camel cricket
. Yuki calls it this dimension's creator. Haruhi was the catalyst, but the cause is different. Kyon notices that she's been still for a while, and tells her she can move. (Mikuru's gone from clutching his forearm to clutching his upper legs.)
Itsuki discovers that he can at least partially access his powers, but it's only a tenth of the usual power. He floats an orange glowing ball over his hand. He considers it possible that he only needed that much.
Kyon asks Yuki what the camel cricket is, and where the computer club guy is. The insect is actually a data lifeform that's using the guy's brain to survive better, and that he's inside. It's a manifestation of the thing the president most fears. So, if they beat it, the space will be shut down. Itsuki thinks it'll be over soon. The cricket is preparing to jump, it seems. Kyon tells him to hurry up. Itsuki tosses the ball upwards at a forward diagonal, and runs forward. He jumps, and hits his ball like a volleyball, saying "Fumoffu!" (When did this become
Full Metal Panic!
Tatoeba ne namida ga / koboreru hi ni ha...
) It leaps out of the way and almost lands on him, but he dodges in time. It leaps for Yuki, but she says something that's not subtitled, and which I can't make out. Thanks, guys! Anyway, it causes a force field, blocking the attack. A scarab flies over, drizzling sparkles. Text appears: "A scarab has tended to its wounds!" I guess it's supposed to be an RPG? Kyon and Mikuru run for it. Itsuki throws another fireball, calling it "Second Raid". Kyon asks if it worked. It falls in front of Yuki, its red eyes flickering to brown. It disappears in pixellation. There are sparkles flying. Itsuki asks if it's over, and Yuki nods.
Dadadadaa daa daa dat dadaaa! Daa daa daa daa dat dadaa dadaa, daa daa daa dadaaa...
The student in question is lying on the ground. Kyon thinks he's still alive. He suddenly finds himself standing in the condo again. Yuki sits at the computer and turns it on.
She narrates that something arrived 280 million years ago, with no way to survive at first, so it went into hibernation, shifting into a half-wakened state only when humans created computer networks. Then, data from a parallel world woke it up. That data was Haruhi's logo. It contains ~436 petabytes of data. (That's either ~436,000,000,000,000,000 bytes or 436 times 2 to the 50th, depending on how Yuki measures it. Either way, it's the next step up from
.) Kyon doesn't think it could even be 100 KB. This is starting to scare Kyon.
He doesn't think it can be coincidence. He thinks it out as he walks alone:
The SOS Brigade is formed.
Mikuru joins because she's the perfect mascot.
Itsuki joins because he's a transfer student.
Yuki joins, having been there from the start.
Mikuru came from the future.
Yuki's sort of... alienish.
If it was Haruhi's doing, it's too good to be true. He recalls that Koizumi said it's because it's what Haruhi wanted, but Kyon doesn't believe it, especially as he's just ordinary. But if everything Haruhi does is significant, is he there because he has some latent superpower or something? (Maybe he has the ability to have his narration be heard or something.)
In the clubroom, he wonders what he is. He thinks he's the conscience of the SOS Brigade. In other words, he's there to try to stop Haruhi's club activities from veering into illegal territory.
He asks Yuki about the camel cricket. She gives the "data lifeform" answer again, and he asks if it's related to her "entity thingy". While they have similar sources, the other evolved differently, and its race died out. Kyon thinks that that's what she thought until they found a survivor there. He wonders why it went to Earth, of all places. He thinks it would've been nice if it'd hibernated on Neptune. To think the Internet would be the nest for something like that.
Kyon suddenly realizes that nothing happening in this room when Haruhi showed up, or when she finished drawing the logo. (Well, it wasn't uploaded to the Internet yet.) Itsuki explains that the room has been in an alternate dimension for a while. Elements and forces cancel each other out, and saturate the room such that nothing else can blend in. Kyon asks if it turned into an ominous den of weirdness, but Itsuki thinks it's "probably" harmless. Kyon doesn't want to go insane or look for a noose to hang himself. Itsuki is doing his best to keep that from happening. Kyon hopes things like that aren't happening
he's doing his best.
Kyon looks at the access counter... and finds it has 29819 hits! Yuki explains that the lifeform reproduces by installing hyperlinks. It copies information about itself into the brains of humans who see the emblem, creating closed spaces. (Good thing this is fiction, huh?) Kyon relates to us that since the data was corrupted, most viewers are probably not in the same situation. 8 people saw the correct logo, and 5 for North High students. It seems like they'll have to save
, as well. When you look at it, it says "ZOZ Brigade". (And hey, look, the correct encoding is on! Yuki redid the logo, and Kyon put it on the page.
Kyon reports to Haruhi that the club dude came back. Haruhi still thinks it was the May melancholies or an argument with his girlfriend. Haruhi, however, is more excited by the hit counter.
Kyon wonders to himself if Yuki destroyed the data. Kyon asked the club chief, and he said he doesn't have a girlfriend. Kyon figures Yuki's always been in the middle of the scenario. It wouldn't surprise him if he found that Yuki had brought them the case through Emiri. Perhaps it was just to stave off Haruhi's boredom. He wonders if she's been doing that the whole time, keeping the weirder things at bay. He wonders if getting involved is what she wished for. If she gets lonely when alone.

The unsubtitled bit Yuki said is apparently how she "casts spells" - it's apparently sped-up and backward recitation of SQL code.

Almonds: The perfect nut; one serving of almonds (approx. 28g or 1oz) has 13g of unsaturated fat and only 1g of saturated fat. They are high in potassium, calcium and iron. Almonds are a nutritionally dense food, meaning they pack a lot of fiber in a small package. In a 2009 Purdue University study found that the bioaccessibility of vitamin E and the good-for-you fats found in almonds increased significantly when participants chewed the nuts thoroughly, about 40 times per mouthful. Not only were more of the nutrients released and absorbed by the body, but the participants felt fuller faster and longer.
Pistachios: One ounce of pistachios (about 49 kernels) is an excellent source critical vitamins and minerals, particularly copper, manganese, vitamin B6, thiamin, and phosphorus. Like all nuts, pistachios are rich in fiber, are a great source of protein, are cholesterol-free, and are chock full of monounsaturated fats. However, unlike other nuts pistachios contain significant amounts of the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. Carotenoids are a special type of antioxidant linked to color, and associated with reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration, one of the most common causes of irreversible blindness in older adults.

Silence is golden for Rooney
A word of advice for Wayne Rooney put a sock in it. Sir Alex Ferguson suggested recently that his star player doesn't know when he should take a break. He clearly doesn't know when to bite his tongue either. His insistence this week that he is not suffering from the phantom ankle injury cited as mitigation for the worst form of his career and his absence from United's last two games, has put him on a collision course with his manager. Perhaps we should respect the 24-year-old for his honesty and sheer desire to play football. But at a time when Ferguson is doing his level best to shield Rooney from the media hailstorm brought about by lurid allegations about his private life, it has thrust him right back into the spotlight. Like so many United stars before him, Rooney needs to learn one crucial point to surviving at Old Trafford: Fergie is always right. Even when he's wrong. In many ways Rooney's outburst after England's goalless draw with Montenegro on Tuesday night has only confirmed Ferguson's assessment of him. Speaking before the Sunderland game at the start of the month, the United manager said: He thinks he's fit because he always thinks he's fit. That's the problem with the lad because he's always too willing to play even with injuries. So it should come as little surprise then that Rooney claims he has been able to play all season. Rooney performances The problem is, his performances with only one goal in his last nine games for United, and that a penalty against West Ham prove otherwise. That's what Ferguson spotted. And that's why, after watching him toil for an hour in the 2-2 draw with Bolton last month, he decided enough was enough. Rooney missed the Champions League tie at Valencia and the goalless draw with Sunderland. Judging by his performance for England in midweek, it still might be too soon for him to return to the starting line-up against West Brom. And the truth is, Rooney hasn't looked the same player since twisting his ankle against Bayern Munich last March. He offered little as United's title challenge turned to dust even less as England crashed out of the World Cup humiliation. He started this campaign little better and when allegations that he paid for sex with a prostitute came to light, a blip turned into a crisis. Ferguson's protective instincts immediately kicked in. Blaming a combination of the media and his ankle, Rooney would be taken out of the firing line. So he has every reason to feel disappointed that his star player chose to completely contradict him in front of the world's media. At best it was a show of youthful exuberance, mixed with naivety. At worst an act of sheer defiance. Either way, it was an embarrassing incident that has heaped unwanted focus on his relationship with his manager. What follows now could make or break his United career. The history books are full of superstar names who crossed Ferguson and lived to regret it. It is premature to talk of Rooney being close to the exit, but he would do well to heed the warning signs even if he thinks he was totally justified in his actions. Ultimately, right and wrong don't come into it. Rather it comes down to Fergie's law and whether or not you are willing to abide by it. What do you think? Have your say.

Anti-Money-Laundering Provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act
On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001" (USA PATRIOT Act).1 The Act, enacted in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, strengthens our Nation's ability to combat terrorism and prevent and detect money-laundering activities.
The purpose of this Bulletin is to advise persons and entities regulated by the Bureau of Insurance of important new responsibilities under the Act. In particular, Section 352 of the Act amends the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)2 to require that all financial institutions establish anti-money-laundering programs, and Section 326 amends the BSA to require the Secretary of the Treasury to adopt minimum standards for financial institutions regarding the identity of customers that open accounts.
Section 352 - Establishing Anti-Money-Laundering Programs
Section 352 of the Act requires the establishment of an anti-money-laundering program by each financial institution, including, at a minimum:
Insurance companies are included in the BSA's definition of "financial institution," and should be prepared to comply with the new law and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Section 352 of the Act and its implementing regulations became effective on April 24, 2002. Although the Interim Final Rule issued by Treasury on April 23 provides a temporary exemption for insurance companies, the exemption is of limited duration, and the notice of rulemaking announces that "Treasury and FinCEN3 have been examining the money laundering risks associated with insurance products and will issue in the near future a proposed rule governing the establishment of anti-money laundering programs by insurance companies." The regulation may borrow from the anti-money-laundering compliance program rule recently proposed by the NASD for broker-dealers.4 Treasury and FinCEN have also emphasized that the exemption from the requirement to establish anti-money-laundering programs does not in any way relieve any business from the existing requirements in 31 U.S.C. § 5331 and 26 U.S.C. § 6050I that they report transactions in cash or currency, or certain monetary instruments, that exceed $10,000.
As part of its rulemaking process, Treasury is determining the extent to which other insurance entities will be considered financial institutions for purposes of the regulation. It is anticipated that the regulation could cover all other persons and entities engaged in the business of insurance, including brokers, agents, and managing general agents, and may also include other regulated entities. These insurance entities will be required to comply with the regulation by the regulation's effective date.
Anti-money-laundering programs are not anticipated to be "one size fits all." Rather, it is expected that they will be developed using a risk-based approach. Development of an anti-money-laundering program should begin with identification of those areas, processes, and programs that are susceptible to money-laundering activities. The practices and procedures implemented under the program should reflect the risks of money-laundering given the entity's products, methods of distribution, contact with customers, and forms of customer payment and deposits.
Section 326 - Customer Identification
Section 326 of the Act amends the BSA to require that Treasury issue regulations setting forth minimum standards for financial institutions regarding the identification of their customers in connection with the purchase of a policy or contract of insurance. This program must set forth customer identity verification and documentation procedures, as well as procedures the insurer will employ to notify its customers about this requirement and determine whether the customer appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations. A financial institution's customer identification program must also include procedures for notifying its customers about its program.
Final regulations regarding this requirement are to be issued by the Department of the Treasury by October 26, 2002. Proposed regulations will be published in the Federal Register later in the year.5 Through the rulemaking process, Treasury will determine which insurance entities will be subject to the regulations. Insurance entities subject to the regulations will be required to comply when the final Treasury regulations become effective.

App that helps you to reach a state just as you want to fall asleep, wake up, recharge mental energy or meditate. It can be called an inspirational tool as well.
It is possible to make many original sound combinations which allow you to enjoy sounds and moods the exact way that each different person feel and need.
This app includes three very impressive sonatas originally written by one of the greatest composers of the all times, Ludwig van Beethoven, different way.
Piano Sonata No.14 in C sharp minor, Op.27/2 ("Moonlight")

Piano Sonata No.8 in C minor, Op.13 ("Pathétique")
These tunes are carefully resounded by ProTools studio software to produce more colorful sounds but with respect to the original moods and dynamics with a little help of the electronic sound.

A prisoner in a German jail remains at large after placing himself inside a box destined for courier pickup. Trucks arrive at this jail weekly to pick up products made in its workshop, and the prisoner apparently took advantage of this security breach.

Congee or rice porridge is an Asian favorite. The well-loved comfort food, which is perfect for rainy and under-the-weather days, goes by a different name in each country. Called bubur in Indonesia, chok in Thailand, and��babaw in Cambodia, in the Philippines, of course, it's called lugaw. Its variants--"culinary cousins," if you will--include the goto, pospas, and arroz caldo. As long as it involves the prolonged boiling of rice in water and the addition of various ingredients and flavorings it remains within the general category of what congee is. SPOT.ph lists 10 tasty lugaw offerings--which range from P15 to P171--in Metro Manila. As we say, to each his own lugaw.
1066-B Pasong Tamo, Barangay Tejeros, Makati City
Open 24 hours daily
This lugaw (P15 for a bowl, P25 if you want to add slices of tripe or tuwalya) is as basic as you can get. Served in a plastic bowl, the dish comes with no more than bits of fried minced garlic, chopped chives, and a piece of calamansi. This is great for budget-conscious individuals desperate for a quick snack. Located in the non-posh part of Makati, the establishment hosts boundary-beating taxi drivers, the occasional wayward streetchild, and peddlers. Owing to its very affordable price, it has become so popular that a rival imitated its recipe and business model, erecting a store right across the same street, called Lugawan sa Pasong Tamo.
Stall 1, EMP Building, Alabang Zapote Road, Las Pi�as City with branches all over Metro Manila
Open 24 hours daily
At P35, a bowl of Goodah!!! Goto gives you bang for your buck. It has crushed chicharon, chopped chives, toasted garlic, and a generous helping of tripe. It seems like this lugaw has become one of the default picks for the post-gimik crowd.
Real and authentic lugaw can only be ranked by numbers of real aficionado lugaw eater (most probably masa).... Try to find MANG ROMY'S LUGAWAN in Valenzuela, and I will bet that he serve's the most tokwa't baboy in WORLD in every single day!!!8 months ago Reply

For those who can, try to find the 'Silver Box' lugawan on Washington Street, Barangay Pio del Pilar (near the barangay hall) in Makati.. The condiments are on the tables - garlic, chili, spring onions.. And what makes it the best for me is the tokwa't baboy, the baboy is lechon kawali.

My gosh!!! I visited relatives in montalban last saturday and they took me to POSPAS NI ALING INES at MONTALBAN TOWN CENTER and I had the most delicious heartwarming comfort food that brought me back to my childhood. You guys should taste their pospas especially with bahay itlog. And it's cheap!!! 35 pesos with bahay itlog and 27 pesos with chicken, liver or gizzard. My tastebuds are still craving for it everyday. Trust me...you guys won't regret it.Oct 06 2010 @ 01:43am Reply
I've tasted Lugawan Republic, my God! It's the worst lugaw. Para syang kaning baboy na pinaghalo halo ang ingredients.

BBC iPlayer has a new look to make it easier to find TV shows and brand new online content.
There's a new look for UK online catch-up and streaming service BBC iPlayer, home of shows like Doctor Who, Call the Midwife and The Musketeers.
A new report claims the BBC iPlayer app for the Xbox One has been delayed because of complications with Kinect.

The Beeb wants to yank its yoof-centric comedy channel off Freeview, creating a new +1 channel for BBC One in its place. It'll live on online.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Police have arrested Ryan Poree for the
shooting deaths of two sisters and the wounding of a 7-year-old boy
in east New Orleans on Friday.
John Gagliano, chief investigator for the coroner, tells the
Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/n0jLx9s ) that the victims were
34-year-old Alcee Perry and her sister, 32-year-old Kimberly Perry.
He says both died from multiple gunshot wounds. The 7-year-old son
of Kimberly Perry was also shot in the abdomen and leg, and remains
in critical condition at a local hospital.
Police Officer Shereese Harper says Poree has been charged for
two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted
second-degree murder.
Harper says the shooting apparently stemmed from "an ongoing
feud between the victims and the suspect." They all lived in the
same block.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT Gym
It is normal for many to have three regular meals throughout the day, but for those training hard it might be advisable to look at trying to increase the number of smaller meals and/or ensure sufficient snacks are consumed. To keep muscle recovery fuelled with amino acids from protein and to keep energy levels up with carbohydrates, you should aim to eat a smaller than normal meal every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day. In essence, you're dividing the traditional three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner into 6 or 7 smaller meals, some of which could include protein bars and shakes.
Keeping the eating part of this programme relatively simple is a good way to stay on track and make progress day after day. Imagine that every plate you eat from is divided into 3 sections: one for proteins, 2 for carbs. Each of these servings will amount to a portion roughly the size of a closed fist. If you're choosing wisely, avoid packaged processed foods and cook meals with healthy leans meats and vegetables as close to their natural state as possible. Follow this and the fats will pretty much take care of themselves. To maximise your efforts in the gym, add to your meal plan a protein and carbohydrate shake like Gold Standard 100% Whey or 2:1:1 Recovery™ within 30 to 45 minutes of completing your workout.
Cutting back on carbohydrates has become a popular strategy to lose fat, but taken to the extreme, can leave you lacking energy to workout. Carbs are your body's preferred power source and are essential for fuelling both physical and mental effort. The trick is to choose complex carbohydrates packed with nutrients and dietary fibre. Low glycaemic index carbs digest slowly to provide sustained energy. Examples include sweet potatoes, asparagus, oatmeal, nuts and whole grain bread.
Hydration is another area that requires focus. The amount that any individual will sweat is highly individual and dependent on several factors. Dehydration is known to reduce training intensity, so maintaining a regular fluid intake throughout the day is essential. Urine colour is the simplest way to monitor hydration status, with urine that is yellow/colourful suggesting a dehydrated state.

Senate confirms John Kerry for secretary of state
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Headline for right-leaning optimists: John Kerry leaving the US Senate
Only three Republicans voted against confirmation:
The Senate overwhelmingly approved Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) as the next secretary of state Tuesday afternoon, with three Republican "no" votes.
The vote was 94 to 3, clearing the way for Kerry to formally take over from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday.
Three Republicans voted against Kerry — Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma.
Three Republicans? The 2008 Detroit Lions defensive line gave their opponents stiffer resistance.
Washington Democrat Patty Murray and N. Dakota Republican John Hoeven were absent from the vote, and Kerry voted present.
There will be a special election in Massachusetts on June 25 (primary April 25th) to fill the open Senate seat:
Candidates will have four weeks to collect the 10,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Edward Markey has already announced he will seek the seat. Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is considering running on the Republican side.
Back to the Kerry confirmation, here's Texas Sen. Cornyn's "no" vote simply explained:
Cornyn spox says he voted no b/c Kerry has "long history of liberal positions that are not consistent with a majority of Texans"

As a result of the growing awareness that freons were contributing to damage in the ozone-layer, alternatives were developed, and, in some cases, the production of freons were banned. The environmental impact caused by the use of freons has led the attention to the primary importance of an accurate quantification of these compounds, even at lowest concentration. This application note describes an automated, efficient and "green" method for the analysis of freons.
