It's both comfort and curse to know there were people who loved Johnathan Ramsey.
The little boy had a mother, grandparents, aunts and uncles who wondered and worried about him. With a single phone call, his father or stepmother could have summoned a family member to take the child off their hands. There's comfort in knowing that people cared.
The painful curse of "if-only" lies in the inexplicably cruel fact that no such call was ever made.
Instead, Aaron and Elizabeth Ramsey told elaborate stories about where the boy was and what he was doing: He was at Scout camp, at church, visiting other relatives. He was too busy to come to the phone.
All lies, of course, to cover up the fact that they had turned 10-year-old Johnathan into a prisoner, a wasted little ghost, and finally, a corpse.
They locked him in a dirty, stench-ridden bedroom, slowly starved him to death, then dumped his body in a creek bed.
Understandably, we've had a lot to occupy our attention: the senseless violence of the Boston bombings, the Kaufman County murders, the tragedy in West.
But I wish the eyes of a shocked and grieving nation could likewise be focused on the Dallas courtroom where Aaron Ramsey has been on trial for his role in his son's death.
I wish angry demonstrators were marching around carrying Johnathan's picture, with his sweet, sunny smile, on picket signs. I wish the world of social media were a-crackle with fury and debate over what happened to him.
Maybe it's one of those you-had-to-be-there situations.
During testimony this week, an FBI agent who was on hand when Johnathan's remains were finally recovered described the condition of what was left.
"It puts things in perspective when you have a 10-year-old child reduced to this," Special Agent Chris Ford said.
The discovery was made after an intensive search of the wooded Ellis County area where Aaron Ramsey confessed to dumping his son's body months earlier.
After city engineers drained the creek bed, searchers found a sodden blue sleeping bag, crushed and wadded into a misshapen lump not much bigger than a basketball.
When a forensic anthropologist on the team tentatively unzipped the bag, he spotted a pair of faded child's pajama pants — with a human leg bone inside.
After months in its crude grave, that's all that was left of Johnathan Ramsey: muddy pajamas and a dirty sleeping bag full of bones.
Testimony suggests that Ramsey and his second wife, Elizabeth Ramsey, were sloppy, selfish people. They freeloaded on friends and relatives. They didn't have jobs.
They complained when Aaron's hardworking mother had to take back the truck for which she had cosigned a loan because the couple quit making payments on it.
When they feuded with family members, they used Johnathan as a pawn by cutting them off from him.
To my mind, it's crime enough that children, who don't get any say in the matter, have to live according to such selfish adult whims.
But the cruelty inflicted on this sweet, shy boy is another matter entirely.
Starvation is not an easy death: "It hurts," said Dr. Matthew Cox, a Dallas pediatrician who specializes in child abuse.
Cox testified that as the weeks went by and Johnathan was fed a wasting diet of bread, water and occasionally a little milk, he would have grown lethargic and exhausted.
He would have lost the energy to walk around and even to cry out.
His heart rate would have dropped. His cheeks and eyeballs would have taken on a sunken appearance.
His brain would have begun to shrink. Finally, his kidneys, heart or lungs would have given out, and his transformation from child to ghost would have been complete.
Defense lawyers say Aaron Ramsey, a heavy, passive lump of a man, was so cowed by his poisonous second wife that he blindly went along as his son was imprisoned and starved. A jury convicted him Tuesday of serious bodily injury to a child and sentenced him to life in prison. His wife, who will be tried later, could also face the same sentence.
I wish I could understand why these people went to the time-consuming trouble to torment and starve this child, when they could have been rid of him with a phone call.
But I can't understand, and maybe understanding in a case like this is impossible.
And all that leaves me with is anger. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

La Jolla Country Day 64, Bishop's 39
It was business as usual Saturday for La Jolla Country Day's girls, which meant bad news for Bishop's.
For the ninth straight time covering three years, the Torreys beat their neighborhood rival, this time 64-39 at Jenny Craig Pavilion to capture their third consecutive Division IV title and ninth in the past 10 years.
Almost as important, the Torreys are in position to earn the No. 1 seed in the Southern California Regional as previous state No. 1 L.A. Windward lost in the Southern Section championships.
As usual, the USD-bound Hood sisters, Maya and Malina, and junior Kelsey Plum led LJCD (28-1) to victory.
"It's a great rivalry. There's a lot of animosity when we play," said Plum, who scored 19 points. "But we're already thinking about our next game and trying to win state."
Malina Hood led the Torreys with 20 points while her twin Maya tossed in 13 and was credited with 19 rebounds. Senior Bryn Stark led all scorers with 21 points for Bishop's (19-9).Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

A DEAFNESS charity in Northwich has reached its £10,000 target to support a hearing dog puppy but is appealing for more help from the community.
Deafness Support Network (DSN), which has its headquarters in London Road, is launching a competition to name the helpful youngster.
But this is trickier than it may seem as the soon-to-be canine companion is yet to be born and its breed and sex are still unknown.
DSN launched its fundraiser in April 2013 to fund the £10,000 required to name and support the socialising and training of a hearing dog puppy by the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (HDfDP).
Terry Webb, chairman of HDfDP Cheshire fundraising branch, said: "It's hard to put into words what a difference a hearing dog can make to a deaf person.
"They not only help provide confidence and independence in everyday life but also bring companionship for people who can otherwise become completely isolated."
Hearing dogs are trained to alert deaf people to everyday household sounds and danger signals at home, work and in public buildings.
Each dog is trained to the needs of the needs of the deaf person they have been matched to and the deaf person is given the dog free of charge.
Gill Reeder, DSN's executive for operations, said: "We'd like to thank everyone who has helped us achieve this phenomenal target – those who joined us at the Arley Walk and The Cake Fairy, the Handbridge community, Dee-Sign Choir and many more for their amazing fundraising efforts."
To enter the competition to name the puppy, which will be born in March, either pop into DSN's offices in Northwich with a minimum £1 donation, your suggestion, name and contact details, or search for Deafness Support Network in the charities section of virginmoneygiving.com.
The deadline is noon on February 21.
The winner will receive a framed photograph of the puppy along with regular updates on his or her progress.

Long Beach's healthy living has beat out Las Vegas and its, well, not-so-healthy living to become the new host city for the World Tea Expo and the Healthy Beverage Expo.
The World Tea Expo has been in Las Vegas for 10 of its last 11 years, and the Healthy Beverage event debuted there this year. Organizers, however, chose to move to Long Beach for next year's meeting, May 29-31, because tea and healthy beverages are such a big business in Southern California. There are about 460 tea retailers in the region, more than 400 health food retailers and 131 beverage distributors. Nearly 5,000 people attended this year's event.
Another plus for Long Beach: the weather. An infographic about the move on the World Tea Expo website notes Long Beach enjoys an average high temperature of 74 degrees in May "compared to Vegas' average of 100 degrees for the past 3 shows."
"We're thrilled about the new opportunities and business this will bring attendees and exhibitors, and the Expos will see more 'walk-ins' and local 'traffic' from SoCal, as the area is one of the West Coast's most dynamic beverage marketplaces," said George Jage, founder of The Beverage Group, which oversees the events.
On the move
The Lake Forest-based Del Taco Mexican food chain has made multiple executive changes to support a plan to aggressively grow its franchise business outside of Southern California. Mike Lucero has been promoted to vice president of franchise development and real estate. John Druse has been promoted to vice president of design and construction. Eric Grundmeier has been hired as vice president of supply chain and quality assurance. He previously held that same title for Qdoba Restaurant Corp. David Wetzel is now vice president of franchise operations. He previously worked at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf as senior director in charge of national franchising efforts.
Rick Lamoreux has returned to Opus Bank, a commercial bank based in Irvine, as senior managing director of commercial business banking after working as vice president and relationship manager at BBVA Compass. Lamoreux previously served as Opus' director of commercial business banking in 2011-12.
Ivette Barnett has joined Newport Beach-based Voit Real Estate Services as director of real estate management services. She will work out of the company's Anaheim, Irvine and Inland Empire offices. Barnett was previously a director at CB Richard Ellis, where she focused on retail investment management.
Dave Ahern, a former capital projects administrator and assistant parks director for the city of Glendale, has been named president and chief executive of the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit civic organization.
New ventures
Quality Systems Inc., an Irvine-based developer of software that manages medical practices and electronic health records, has acquired Mirth Corp., a Costa Mesa maker of software that helps disparate health care systems work together, for an undisclosed amount. Quality Systems will maintain Mirth's brand, office, team and products.
CrowdStrike, a computer security company based in Irvine, has raised $30 million in a round of financing that was led by Accel Partners and included founding investing firm Warburg Pincus. Sameer Gandhi, a partner at Accel, joins CrowdStrike's board of directors.
Premier Business Centers, a business in Irvine that rents out executive suites and alternative workspaces, has entered into a lease agreement to operate an executive suite on the 18th floor of the Lake Merritt Plaza tower in Oakland.
Fountain Valley mobile app-maker Medl Mobile said this week its live video social media platform, Hang With, had been downloaded 500,000 times since it was launched in March. The app is available on iPhone and Android.
The Irvine-based content management company InfoTrust Group has changed its name to Flatirons Solutions Inc., which is a company it acquired in June.
Entrepreneur Robert R. Taylor, a member of the Hoag Hospital Foundation board of directors, died at age 77 on Aug. 29 in Newport Beach. Taylor brought the SoftSoap brand of liquid soap to market and launched 14 consumer product businesses including Minnetonka Corp., which acquired Calvin Klein Cosmetics in 1980 and developed the Obsession and Eternity fragrances. Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever eventually bought pieces of Minnetonka. A celebration of Taylor's life will be held at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at The Vintage Club in Indian Wells.
Kure It, an Irvine-based nonprofit organization that funds cancer research, recently reached its goal to raise $2 million. The check that pushed them over the milestone came from Pam and Jack Domingue of Storage Solution Inc. in Huntington Beach.
Allergan Inc., a pharmaceutical company in Irvine, has been chosen as the recipient of the corporate "V-award" at the third annual Shared Visions Gala and V–Awards, a fundraising event for the Fullerton-based Marshall B. Ketchum University. The ceremony honors community leaders for their philanthropic impact and humanitarian support of optometry. Allergan CEO David Pyott will accept the award during a gala at the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum on Sept. 19.

About the Book
"Africa belongs to the Africans; the sooner they take it back the better. But--a country also belongs to those who feel at home in it. Perhaps it may be that love of Africa the country will be strong enough to link people who hate each other now. Perhaps..."
Going Home is Doris Lessing's account of her first journey back to Africa, the land in which she grew up and in which so much of her emotion and her concern are still invested. Returning to Southern Rhodesia in 1956, she found that her love of Africa had remained as strong as her hatred of the idea of "white supremacy" espoused by its ruling class. Going Home evokes brilliantly the experience of thepeople, black and white, who have shaped and will shape a beloved country.

Allison Moorer
With one album already under her belt, Moorer burst onto the scene after performing "A Soft Place to Fall" on The Horse Whisperer soundtrack. The Oscar-nominated single brought attention to Moorer, who has since released the albums Miss Fortune and The Hardest Part, and toured with the likes of Kid Rock.
AppealThough Moorer's music is subtle and sweet, her beauty is definitely out there for all to ogle. Long red hair and blue eyes highlight the best of this Alabama native; who we hope keeps up the wild reputation that most redheads are famous for. Her slender, curvaceous body remains another sexy feature, which deserves as much attention as her albums. As such, we'd love to have the miss fortune of meeting this babe from the Deep South.
SuccessAfter being discovered at a tribute concert in Nashville and quickly signed to MCA, Allison Moorer released Alabama Song in 1998. The album was hailed as a tour-de-force by critics, but its deep country music sounds were not radio friendly. It took the great songwriting of Moorer to get national recognition -- one year later, she appeared in both The Horse Whisperer (starring Robert Redford) and its soundtrack, performing "A Soft Place to Fall." Her efforts were recognized with an Oscar nomination.
In 2000, she teamed up with husband Butch Primm to write all the tracks on her second album The Hardest Part. This time, the songs were catchier and attracted mainstream attention. Demand for Moorer increased after she performed the duet "Picture" with Kid Rock and then switched labels, releasing Miss Fortune under Universal South. This third album has been hailed as her best yet, showing that, like a fine wine, Moorer simply gets better with age.
Allison Moorer BiographyBorn on June 21, 1972, in Frankville, Alabama, Allison Moorer led a musically-inclined life throughout childhood. Along with her sister Shelby Lynne, Moorer had aspirations of becoming a country music star. These plans got sidetracked, however, when tragedy struck their family.
When Moorer was in her teens, her parents separated. Her father, overcome with grief, visited his wife and shot her to death. He then turned the gun on himself. One would think that anyone close to this horrible incident, as Moorer was, would need years to recover, but our favorite Alabamian proved her strength by pulling through. Though the pain must have been immeasurable, she plugged away at University of Southern Alabama, earning a degree in Public Relations.
turned a new leaf in music city
On the day of her last exam, Moorer decided to change directions in life. She moved to Nashville in the hopes of advancing her fledgling music career. Music City soon proved to be a great choice, as she quickly earned jobs as a background singer, producing dozens of demos. In the process, Moorer met a man named Doyle "Butch" Primm -- they hit it off both musically and romantically.
mca made her a vip
Soon, Primm and Moorer were husband and wife, as well as co-producers and co-writers. Moorer, with Primm's connections, soon saw that there was hope at the end of tunnel. Performing at a tribute concert for the late Walter Hyatt, she caught the eye of a booking agent and ended up meeting with MCA Nashville president Tony Brown. After singing on stage for MCA bigwigs, she was signed instantly to a deal.
Audiences got their first taste of Moorer with the 1998 release of Alabama Song. However, it was a small dose, as the tracks, though critically acclaimed, were not radio friendly. She truly shone one year later, after getting the opportunity to perform "A Soft Place to Fall" for the film The Horse Whisperer. Moorer sang the track at the Oscars and was also nominated for her efforts.
album and hit with kid moved her along
Using this successful song as a springboard, Moorer released The Hardest Part to much fanfare in 2000. She toured with her new material and even hooked up with Kid Rock for a duet called "Picture" (which Kid later recorded with Sheryl Crow). Hit songs from her second album include "Cold Cold Earth" and "Send Down an Angel" -- both display the deeply emotional lyrics and catchy tunes that she is famous for.
only good fortune down the road
Switching labels to accommodate her changing style, Moorer released her third album, Miss Fortune, in 2002. This acclaimed effort simply cemented her as one of the promising hot stars of country music. Like sweet-singing sister Shelby Lynne, Moorer is now a threat for mainstream success in country and pop.
We hope this hot redhead is able to have more big-time hits, proving to everyone what we already know; that Southern belles are some of the sexiest women ever.

The death of an Australian woman is being blamed on her use of oral contraceptives, which were recommended as part of her acne treatment.
Adelaide Now reports that the 24-year old woman, Tanya Hayes died earlier this week from a pulmonary embolism, blood clotting in her lungs.
Hayes had been taking Yasmin for four months, an oral contraceptive recommended for patients using the acne medication, Accutane.
After having ignored the contraceptive's symptoms, including "breathlessness" and "a nasty, hard cough," she collapsed outside of a Ferntree Gully restaurant and was rushed to Angliss Hospital where she died five hours later.
Associate Professor Graeme Thomson, Angliss Hospital's director of emergency medicine, explained to Adelaide Now that Tanya's death was "caused by blood clotting caused by factors related to taking the oral contraceptive pill."
The fine print in the packaging of Yasmin states that "breathlessness" is a "very rare…very serious side effect."
Hayes mother, Genevieve noted, "If we had read the Pill's directions more carefully . . . maybe we would still have Tanya here."
"My daughter wasn't a vain person, but she'd had acne for 13 years and just wanted to clear it up."
Oral contraception was recommended to Hayes in addition to her acne medication. According to Dr. Stephen Shumack, secretary of the Australian College of Dermatologists, women on Accutane have an "extremely high risk of having a baby that is severely deformed" if they become pregnant.
Fox News is also reporting that Bayer, the manufacturer of Yasmin, said Hayes' death was being "investigated as a priority."

Fun in the sun, that's what summer is about! But too much sun is not safe. Did you know that a fair-skinned person burns within 20 minutes? As you head out to play, be sure to lotion up and protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.
Sunblock does exactly what it says: It blocks the sun and its rays. Sunblock is a protective barrier usually made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. You know it by the stark white layer it leaves when spread it on the skin. Ridiculous looking? Yes, but it works. And now there are transparent products that are cosmetically more appealing.
Sunscreen comes as a lotion, gel, ointment, or cream. It contains chemicals that reflect, scatter, and absorb ultraviolet radiation, manipulating the sun's rays to prevent damage. The amount of protection a sunscreen provides is based on the SPF (sun protection factor). Theoretically, the number translates to the extra amount of time you can spend outdoors before burning. Using a sunscreen with an SPF of 15, you can stay out in the sun 15 times longer than you could without it. In other words, if you're that fair-haired person who burns in 20 minutes, you can in theory stay outdoors 15 x 20 = 120 minutes, or 2 hours, before you'll burn. The reality is that sunscreen can rub off or be washed off with sweat or after swimming. Always err on the side of caution and reapply as necessary.

100 foods to eat before you die and where to find them in Milwaukee
For the ninth straight year, October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee, presented by the restaurants of Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, dining guides, delectable features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food, as well as voting for your "Best of Dining 2015."
Updated: Oct. 2015
The Facebook "100 Foods to Eat Before You Die" was all the buzz a few years ago.
The list, which is really a quiz to shame you into trying more foods or in some cases brag to friends about how culinarily adventurous you are, caught my attention when a friend sent it to me and asked me how many of the foods I had tried.
I looked the list over, checked off a few things, laughed at some of the items that were included, and kind of wondered how things like this ever end up being popular.
But, then I began to wonder how many of the items on the list I could find locally. In fact, I got a little bit obsessed with the idea of finding them all. So, I started an extensive internet and in-person city search. I discovered that most of the foods on the list can, indeed, be found here. Pretty impressive for a town we sometimes call "Smallwaukee."
So, read down the list and mark off what you've tried. Better yet, seek out something new that you haven't yet experienced. And, if you have any favorite spots to get items that I neglected to mention, let us know in the Talk Back Feature!
- Abalone – Abalone is a bit rare to find in Milwaukee. However, spots like Harbor House occasionally put it on the menu as a special (most recently, they served up Jade Tiger Abalone, poached in olive oil with five spice powder). If you'd prefer to get it and cook it yourself, the nice fellows at the St. Paul's Fish Market pointed me to a great online source where sashimi grade abalone can be found for $32.99 a pound. Check out Catalina Offshore for details.
- Absinthe – Fortunately, No. 2 was a lot easier. You don't have to travel very far to pick up a bottle of this legendary distilled spirit. Just head over to Great Lakes Distillery, 616 W Virginia St., where they not only sell the liquor, but also the proper gear to go with it.
Alligator – Not something you see every day, but there's a restaurant where you could eat it just about every day if you wanted to. Just order up the fried alligator appetizer at The Brass Alley, 1023 N. Old World Third; it comes with Pepperoncini, cherry peppers and (yum) garlic butter.
Baba Ghanoush – There are a few places to get good baba ghanoush in Milwaukee, but very few compare to Shahrazad, 2847 N. Oakland Ave. You'll be delighted by the texture of this smooth puree made from roasted eggplant and tahini. And, maybe best of all, you can wash it down with a delicious cup of Turkish coffee.
Bagel and lox – Milwaukee isn't exactly New York, but you'll find a respectable bagel and lox plate if you stop over for breakfast at The Knick, 1030 E Juneau Ave.
Baklava – Again, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of baklava in Milwaukee, but the Middle Eastern style baklava at Casablanca, 728 E. Brady St., seems to win frequent accolades from fans online.
BBQ Ribs – This is one of the items on the list that gave me pause. Come on! Unless you're a vegetarian, I'm going to bet you've experienced barbequed ribs. But, hey, they're tasty. So, try them out again for good measure! Go for the classics by visiting Speed Queen, 1130 W. Walnut St., or Ashley's Que, 124 W. National Ave., where you can get classic ribs as well as a variety of pork cuts, including shoulder. Or pick up a rack at Smoke Shack, 332 N. Milwaukee St., where you can choose from a variety of sauces, including a house-made barbeque sauce made with chocolate. Soon you'll also be able to sample the unique Milwaukee Rib at Chef Aaron Patin's Iron Grate BBQ Co., 4177 S. Howell Ave.
Bellini – Typically made with Prosecco and fruit puree (usually peach), this drink is an Italian classic. Head over to MOVIDA, 524 S. 2nd, for brunch where you can sample a seasonal rendition of this fruity cocktail. Their current version contains spiced black plum, Blackstrap Molasses and Bittercube Jamaican #1 bitters.
Birds Nest Soup – This probably seems a little bit bizarre to the uninitiated. And, admittedly, it's one of the items on this list that I've never tried. Interestingly, it's an ancient dish made from the next of a bird called the swiftlet or cave swift. Rumor has it this Chinese delicacy first made the scene in Milwaukee in 1923 when Charles Toy opened his restaurant, the Oriental Room in "The Toy Building" on 2nd Street. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a source for the soup here in 2015, but Silver Seafood in Chicago appears to have it on the menu.
Biscuits and gravy – This seems like a pretty ordinary item to end up on a "top 100" list, but who am I to judge? I love biscuits and gravy. You can get a whopping platter filled with them at the West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe Cafe, 6832 Becher St.
Black Pudding – Pudding made with blood? Don't judge until you've tried it. Order it up as part of the Big Irish Breakfast at the County Clare, 1234 N. Astor St. It also comes with bangers, rashers, eggs, vegetables and your choice of potato.
Black Truffle – Pay a visit to Glorioso's Italian Market, 1011 E.Brady St., where you can order the real thing direct from Italy when in season, or choose from a variety of truffle sauces, oils, or butter to embellish your next party dish. Bavette La Boucherie also carries fresh truffles when they're in season. If you'd prefer to eat your truffles at a restaurant, your best bet will probably take place during the month of February when spots like Sanford, Dream Dance Steak and Ristorante Bartolotta offer up truffles on their menus and as a part of featured seasonal dinners.
Borscht – This soup is popular in many countries in Eastern and Central Europe, where it has countless variations. Fortunately, there is even a spot in Milwaukee where you can try more than one variety. Benji's Deli, 4156 N Oakland Ave., serves up both beet and cabbage borscht for between $3 and $6 a bowl.
Calamari – Lots of restaurants serve up fried calamari as an appetizer, but it's not always the greatest. When I order calamari, I'm looking for a light, non-greasy texture with lots of flavor and usually a delicious dipping sauce. I love the calimari at Goodkind, 2475 S. Wentworth Ave., which comes with the most delicious fried lemons. You can also opt for something a little less predictable, like the squid bibimbop at Stone Bowl, 1958 N. Farwell Ave.? Or the sauteed calamari with spinach, chile flakes, olive oil and lemon at Bosley, 815 E. Brady St.?
Carp – Although plentiful, carp isn't exactly a fish you'll typically find on restaurant menus. A while back, the Smoked Fish Sliders at RuYi in the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, were made from carp; but, we've since heard they discontinued the practice. I guess that means you've got to fish for your own; I hear the Milwaukee River is stocked.
Caviar – One of the sure-fire places to find caviar is at your local sushi bar, where it's used frequently as an addition for sushi and maki. At Kanpai, 408 E Chicago St., you can sample flying fish, salmon, or smelt caviar a la carte for between $5 and $7.
Cheese Fondue – The most obvious place to find fondue of all sorts would be at The Melting Pot, 19850 W Bluemound Rd. in Brookfield. But, there are other spots pulling out their fondue pots -- like Millioke, 323 E. Wisconsin Ave., which serves up a Wisconsin beer cheese fondue with pretzel bites. If you don't mind a short drive north, August Weber Haus, W63 N678 Washington Ave. in Cedarburg, also has a full menu of both appetizer and main dish fondues.
Chicken and waffles – In Milwaukee, chicken and waffles are served most often as brunch fare. Head over to Palomino, 2491 S. Superior St., and you'll find some of the city's best fried chicken served atop a fluffy waffle with spicy maple syrup. At Wolf Peach, 1818 N. Hubbard St., your fried chicken and waffle is served with sausage gravy and maple syrup on the side.
Chicken Tikka Masala – There are a variety of places to get this Indian classic here in Milwaukee, but a favorite spot is Royal India, 3400 S 27th St., which is also available with paneer (another ingredient on this list) for vegetarians.
Chile Relleno – Again, this Mexican classic is fairly easy to find. But, my recommendation would be to head over to Riviera Maya, 2258 S Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View. Their version isn't nearly as heavy and greasy as it can be at other restaurants, plus the chiles come stuffed with the filling of your choice, including garlic shrimp, Xel-ha's combination (pork, steak, bacon and chorizo), steak, chicken, pulled pork, shredded beef, chorizo, papitas (potatoes, poblanos and corn), calabacitas (zucchini, corn, oregano and bell peppers).
Chitlins (chitterlings)– Head over to Mr. Perkin's Restaurant, 2011 W. Atkinson Ave., for plates of soul food, including this southern classic made from pig intestines. Keep in mind, Mr. Perkins' is only open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nino's Southern Sides
Churros – Treat yourself to churros – Mexico's solution to the doughnut -- in a variety of delicious flavors at Lopez Bakery, 1601 W Lincoln Ave. Or head over to Mr. Churro, 2333 W National Ave., where the cajeta-filled pastries are a caramel lover's dream.
Clam Chowder – The Manhattan style chowder at The Soup Market, 2211 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View gets accolades for its version of this East Coast classic. If you prefer bar food and New England style chowder, head over to Hooligan's, 2017 E. North Ave., on Fridays for a steaming bowl of their cream based version.
Cognac – You can't beat the selection, or the expert advice you'll find, if you'd like to do tastings of more than one variety of this upscale brandy at The Palm Tavern, 2989 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View.
Crab Cakes – It shouldn't be a surprise that some of the best crab cakes in the city can be found at the fish market. St. Paul Fish Company, 400 N. Water St. in the Public Market. But, they simply do a great job with these shellfish delights.
Crickets – Many claim that crickets taste similarly to popcorn or nuts; And Angelina Jolie has gone on record saying that her kids think they taste like Doritos. Fortunately, there's a local way for you to find out for sure. Allô! Chocolat, 234 W. Main St. in Waukesha carries a product called Cricket Lick-It Lollipops, suckers which contain the extra special treat of a real cricket inside. Crickets come encased in one of many fruity flavors, including blueberry, grape, orange or strawberry.
Currywurst – Try Germany's popular spicy snack, sliced sausage served with a zesty tomato-curry sauce … where else? At The Old German Beer Hall, 1009 N. Old World 3rd St., of course!
Dandelion Wine – The last time I tasted dandelion wine it was from a bottle in my aunt and uncle's cellar that they made themselves. Unfortunately, homemade seems to be the way to go with this humble brew. But, if you'd really like to get a taste, you can order a bottle from the Village Winery in Amana, Iowa, for just $11.95.
Dulce De Leche – Get your dulce de leche at El Rey, 3524 W. Burnham St., and experience the creamy wonder of this caramelized milk-based confection.
Durian – No other fruit appears to create such conflicting opinions. This Southeast Asian fruit is tasty, but its smell has been described as "sweaty bad onions" by local chef Daniel Jacobs. Nonetheless, you can find a great selection of hard-to-find fruits, including Durian, at Pacific Produce, 5455 S. 27th St.
Eel – A nice introduction to this tasty sea creature would probably be in the form of sushi. I'd recommend the eel and avocado roll from Screaming Tuna, 106 W. Seeboth St., a creamy roll topped with sweet eel sauce. And no, eel isn't served raw.
Eggs Benedict – This breakfast staple is everywhere. But it's not necessarily good everywhere. Hollandaise can be tricky, and you want a place that does it justice. My favorite spots to get the classic breakfast would include Blue's Egg, Buckley's Restaurant and Bar, 801 N. Cass St., and Café at the Plaza, 1007 N. Cass St.
Fish Tacos – The salmon tacos at Cempazuchi Comida Bravo, 1205 E. Brady St., are worth a stop. As are the tilapia tacos at Hinterland Erie Street Gastropub, 222 E. Erie St., served as part of their Taco Tuesday special.
Foie Gras – Two places come to mind when I think of foie gras – Sanford, 1547 N. Jackson St., where Chef Aprahamian's masterful treatment of the unctuous liver is always expert, and C. 1880, 1100 S. 1st St., which also deserves kudos for its inventive use of this sometimes controversial ingredient.
Fresh Spring Rolls – If you're on the west side, grab an order of delicious spring rolls from Hue, 6519 W. North Ave. If you're on the east end of town, EE Sane, 1806 N. Farwell Ave., serves up some of the freshest rolls in the business. Get an order to counteract their deliciously spicy curries.
Fried Catfish – Don't miss the fried catfish at Ashley's Que, 124 W. National Ave., where you can order the tender fish as part of a dinner entrée or on a sandwich. Or grab the two-piece fried catfish dinner at Nino's Southern Sides, 4470 N. Oakland Ave., where you can pair it up with authentic southern sides like stewed okra, black-eyed peas and collard greens.
Fried Green Tomatoes – Get these tart, crisp summer favorites at Maxie's Southern Comfort, 6732 W. Fairview Ave. Or wait for them to appear as a seasonal special among the offerings at Odd Duck, 2352 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. or Meritage, 5921 W. Vliet St. You won't be sorry.
Fried Plantain – Some of the best plantain chips in the city can be found at Cubanitas, 728 N. Milwaukee St.; but, you shouldn't stop there. Try the tostones (fried green plantains) and the platanitos maduros (sweet plantains) and experience the full range of flavors from this banana-like fruit.
Frito Pie – You're probably best off making this one up at home. Made from a mixture of chili, cheese, and corn chips, it's pretty foolproof. Shortcut the process and make a uniquely Milwaukee version by grabbing a cup of Real Chili chili and adding Wisconsin cheddar and a snack-sized bag of Fritos.
Frogs' Legs – Grab a glass of wine at the bar and try these French delicacies in style. Pastiche, 3001 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View serves these up right, deep-fried in a light batter, with remoulade sauce.
Fugu – It used to be that, if you wanted to indulge in this potentially deadly Japanese delicacy, you needed to drive to Chicago to Ai, which was once the only Midwest restaurant serving this rare blowfish. Ai has since closed, but Zagat rated Toro Sushi in Lincoln Park appears to have fugu on their menu.
Funnel Cake – These fried batter cakes coated with powdered sugar are a gut-bomb, but they're delicious. Get them at the Wisconsin State Fair, or from Tres Flores & Co. Funnel Cakes at a variety of festivals during the summer months.
Gazpacho – Wait until late summer for this fresh, delicious delicacy made from peak season tomatoes. They always have a great version at Beans and Barley, 1901 E. North Ave. But, other spots that make up a kick-butt gazpacho include MOVIDA, which serves up an Andalusian version made with yellow tomatoes.
Goat – Grab a delicious dish of spicy goat vindaloo at Bollywood Grill, 1038 N Jackson St.; or get it barbequed at Ashley's Bar-B-Que, 1501 E. Center St. Or, if you'd prefer to take some home and cook it yourself, Samah Middle East Ethnic Grocery at 851 W. Layton Ave. offers a full selection of Halal/Zabiha meat, including goat.
Goat's Milk – Goat cheese doesn't count! Fortunately, you can find goat's milk at a variety of supermarkets in town, including Outpost Natural Foods Coop and Whole Foods Market.
Goulash – Thank goodness for Milwaukee's European heritage. You'll find warm, comforting Hungarian beef goulash at Mader's, 1041 N. Old World 3rd St. and Karl Ratzsch's, 320 E. Mason St.
Gumbo – Gumbo is nothing more than a southern stew. But, it takes skills to get it right. Order it up at Maxie's, 6732 W. Fairview Ave. or grab the shrimp and sausage gumbo at St. Paul's Fish Market in the Milwaukee Public Market.
Haggis – Haggis is a love or hate proposition. A Scottish sausage made from sheep or calf offal, suet, oatmeal and seasoning, boiled in a bag, it's known as an acquired taste. One of the only places I know of to get a bit of haggis is McBob's, 4919 W. North Ave., where you can order the Trinity appetizer comprised of Scotch egg, Irish spring roll and Haggis.
Head Cheese – European-style headcheese is made by cooking meaty bits of a pig's head with seasoning, then chopping or grinding it and pressing it into a cheese-like loaf, emulsified in its own fat. Malone's Fine Sausage of Milwaukee, 300 W. Walnut St., has been selling two styles of headcheese – hot and mild – for more than 30 years. Buy their product at a variety of supermarkets in Milwaukee, including Pick 'n Save and Piggly Wiggly stores.
Heirloom Tomatoes – The best time for heirloom tomatoes is late summer or early fall, plucked fresh from vendors at the farmer's market. Do yourself a favor and wait for them. When they're in season, look for great heirloom tomato salads at restaurants like Wolf Peach, 1818 W. Hubbard St., where the tomato is king.
Honeycomb – The sweet crunch of honeycomb really is the bees knees. Lay a bit of it out on a plate with some quality cheeses and serve it to guests. Or nibble it yourself, spread on toast or eaten straight up. Buy the honeycomb fresh from Kallas Honey, 5500 W. Douglas Ave. Or get it as part of the Soft Side Cheese Flight at Blu at the Pfister Hotel.
Hostess Fruit Pie – You can find these in a good many gas stations and convenience stores around town. But, I'd probably give you a pass on this one, as I'm not altogether sure they're worth seeking out. As this quote from a Serious Eats blog summarizes: "And then we unleashed the partially hydrogenated horror within the paper wrapper."
Huevos Rancheros – You can't really beat the huevos rancheros served up at Café Corazon, 3129 N. Bremen St. You'll get two eggs sunny side up on a corn tortilla with house red sauce, sautéed onion and peppers served with rice, beans and tortillas.
Jerk Chicken – For some of the most authentic Jamaican jerk chicken in the city, you'll have to travel west to Irie Palace Jamaican Restaurant, 7506 W. Appleton Ave., where you'll find perfectly seasoned island chicken with the perfect amount of kick. Soon, you'll also be able to find the Jamaican dish at Irie Zulu, 7237 W. North Ave. once they open in Nov. of 2015.
Kangaroo – Milwaukee's Kangaroo Brands sells pita chips and pita pockets, but I had a more difficult time finding a spot to eat kangaroo meat in the city. But, a quick search online showed me that you can order a nice package of the meat without going out of the state. Specialty Meats and Gourmet in Hudson, carries a wide range of exotic meats including kangaroo, python, ostrich, and yak. Order online.
Key Lime Pie – Some of the best key lime pie I've had came from Maxie's, 6732 W. Fairview Ave. But, Harbor House, 550 N. Harbor Dr., also has pretty tasty version, and a lakefront patio view to go right along with it.
Kobe Beef (also called Wagyu)– You can indulge in this spendy beef at Carnevor, 724 N. Milwaukee St., where a filet mignon will run you a steep $75. But, according to the afficianados, it's well worth the cost.
Lassi – This yogurt drink is popular in the Punjab regions of India and Pakistan. For a treat, get the mango lassi at Bombay Sweets, 3401 S. 13th St.
Lobster – Lobster might not be indigenous to Wisconsin, but there's no better place to grab yourself a lobster than at St. Paul's Fish Market, where lobster dinners are $13.95 every day.
Mimosa – This mix of juice and sparkling wine is a favorite among the brunch-lovers set. And there are plenty of places to get a great mimosa. But, why not build your own. Balzac, 1716 N. Arlington Pl., offers a champagne bar all day on Sundays where you can pick and choose half-price bottles of champagne and mix them with juices of your choice.
Moon Pie – If you haven't tried one of these iconic sweet treats, it's high time. Born in 1917, the moonpie was created by Chattanooga Bakery. It's graham cracker cookies, filled with marshmallow cream and covered in chocolate. You might be able to find them somewhere around town, but it's much more fun to visit moonpie.com and order fresh from the factory.
Morel Mushrooms – Funny looking, yes. But, they're also pretty tasty. You can find dried mushrooms all year round at the supermarket. But, it's more fun when you can eat them fresh. So, keep your eyes open in May when restaurants all over the city will take advantage of locally sourced mushrooms, most foraged from right here in Wisconsin. You'll most assuredly find them each spring at Morel, the mushroom's namesake restaurant at 430 S. 2nd St.
Nettle Tea – Stinging nettles are a weed that grow here in Wisconsin, as well as across the country. The tea, which tastes very green and herbal, is known for its use in holistic nutrition for lowering blood pressure, alleviating prostate issues, and more. Inquire about nettles and nettle tea at Outpost Natural Foods or Whole Foods Market.
Octopus – If you've never tried this eight legged creature, you want to trust your first experience to the experts. It's a regular item on the menu at Wolf Peach, 1818 N. Hubbard St., where they grill baby octopus and serve it with farro, blistered tomato, garlic emulsion, bread tuille and spinach puree. Buckley's, 801 N. Cass St., also serves grilled octopus with polenta, frisee, paprika-pancetta vinaigrette, and fig vincotto.
Oxtail Soup – They've got you covered at Mader's, 1041 N. Old World 3rd St., where you'll find a soup made from braised oxtail meat with tomato, sherry, and beef broth. But, you can also find this soup at Ono Kine Grindz, the Hawaiian take-out restaurant at 7215 W. North Ave.
Paella – They've got paella at MOVIDA, Milwaukee's Spanish tapas restaurant where they offer up three types -- chicken, seafood and vegetable -- along with a daily special.
Paneer – Sample this mild Indian cheese at just about any Indian restaurant in the city by ordering the Saag Paneer, a spiced dish with greens, spices and deliciously salty squares of fried cheese.
Pastrami on Rye – The best in the city can be found at Jake's Deli, 1634 W. North Ave., where they have some of the best corned beef and pastrami in the Midwest. You'll get it piled high on rye bread or a pretzel roll for just over $10.
Pavlova – Also known as Schaum torte, you can find this meringue dessert on the menu at Joey Gerard's in both Greendale and Mequon, where it is served the old school way with strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
Phaal – Phaal (also spelled Phall) is a super spicy English Indian curry. It got some press when Adam Richman of "Man Vs. Food" took it on in 2008 at Brick Lane Curry House in Manhattan. Unfortunately for chile heads, we don't seem to have an equivalent in Milwaukee. Brick House curry is notable for containing ten of the hottest chiles on the planet, including Bhut Jolokia, or Ghost Chile, recognized as one of the hottest in the world.
Philly Cheese Steak – If you can't make it to Philidelphia, head over to at Chubby's Cheesesteaks (multiple locations), for the cheesiest, messiest sandwich on the block. Or, if you prefer, get your Philly on at Philly Way in Walker's Point, 405 S. 2nd St.
Pho – Head over to Hue in Bay View, 2691 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., for a delicious introduction to this Vietnamese soup. While you're there, order some spicy crab Rangoon and check out the excellent craft cocktail specials at the bar. For a slightly less polished experience, head over to the Asian food court at Phonsavan, 6300 N. 76th St., and order the "special" pho with beef, chicken, pork, sausage, tendon, tripe, crab and shrimp. Or head out to my favorite, Pho Hai Tuyet, 204 W. Layton Ave.
Pineapple and cottage cheese – This is a time when the old Heineman's restaurant would have come in handy; I'm sure they served up bowls and bowls of this homey combo. Not sure if any places regularly serve this combo anymore. But, that's OK. It's easy to make yourself.
Pistachio Ice Cream – Wait for it… wait for it… it'll appear on the Kopp's flavor of the day menu sooner or later. At the very least, they put Spumoni on the menu relatively often, which includes a mix of pistachio nut, burgundy cherry & chocolate almond custards. And yeah, that's technically custard and not ice cream. But, you'll love it nonetheless, maybe even more. Not in the mood for custard? Try the pistachio gelato at Cold Spoons, 5924 W. Vliet St.
Po' Boy – Choose from fried shrimp, scallop, andouille or buffalo chicken Po' Boys at The Brass Alley, 1023 N. Old World Third. Or head to Maxie's, 6732 W. Fairview Ave., where you can choose from catfish or chicken.
Pocky – I'll admit it. I'd not heard of this one before and didn't really know what to expect when I started researching it. Turns out it's Japanese snack food, and you can find it at Pacific Produce, 5455 S. 27th St.
Polenta – There's no doubt in my mind. If you love polenta, or need a great first experience with this Italian dish, you need to head over to Blue's Egg, 317 N. 76th St., and order the Creamy Polenta with lacinato kale, roast mushrooms, poached eggs, and sauce fonduta.
Prickly Pear – These spiky-but-sweet fruits turn everything in their wake a beautiful fuschia color. For a nice introduction, try out the prickly pear margaritas at Cempazuchi on Brady Street.
Rabbit Stew – Milwaukee should be all over this dish, considering we have claim to the iconic chant made popular by Laverne and Shirley: "Schlemeel, Schlemazel, Hassenfeffer Incorporated!" But, I've only found it at a few spots. One is Kegel's Inn, 5901 W. National Ave., where they serve marinated rabbit and vegetables over noodles. And the other is Meritage, 5921 W. Vliet St., where you'll occasionally find a sumptuous stew made with rabbit that's cooked to fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
Raw Oysters – Take a seat at the oyster bar at Harbor House and sample any number of delicious oysters. Eat them raw on the half-shell with a few drops of lemon juice and a dab of horseradish. (Pro tip: Don't just shoot them back. Give them a little chew. They'll seem less slimy and you'll get more of the flavor out of the oyster itself).
Root Beer Float – If you want the classic, you've got to find yourself a good old fashioned A&W rootbeer stand. Fortunately, there's an A&W at 5133 S. 108th St., in Hales Corners. Worth the drive on a beautiful day to have your fill of this sweet treat.
S'mores – First, you need a campfire. Then you need graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. Go gourmet at Indulgence Chocolatiers, 4525 N. Oakland Ave., and pick up a S'mores kit, which includes sea salt dark chocolate and vanilla bean marshmallows. Or cheat a bit and head over to Engine Company No. 3, 217 W. National Ave., and order the s'mores pancakes with graham cracker batter, topped with marshmallow fluff and drizzled with chocolate ganache. Or, after you get your kobe beef from Carnevor, order their S'mores dessert with milk chocolate mousse, graham sponge and marshmallow ice cream.
Sauerkraut – Milwaukee's German population is significant enough that finding a bit of sauerkraut to eat shouldn't be a problem. Grab it on a hot dog at Miller Park, or get the full cultural experience by ordering the German Sampler at Mader's, 1041 N. Old World 3rd St.
Sea Urchin – Kanpai is one spot that offers Uni (sea urchin) as part of their sushi and sashimi menu. You may also run into the delicacy at Ardent, 1751 N. Farwell Ave., where it's been known to pop up on the chef's tasting menu.
Shark – Let's not wander into this unsustainable seafood territory, OK? Instead, head over to Shark's Fish and Chicken, 5834 W. Villard Ave. or 5653 N. 76th St., and grab a pile of fried food to drown your sorrows.
Snail – Celebrate the snail on National Escargot Day, which is observed each year on May 24 at Le Reve Patisserie and Café, 7610 Harwood Ave. But, if you don't want to wait for a holiday, you can get classic Pizza Man escargot just about any day of the week at both the Tosa or Downer locations. Or order it up at Joey Gerard's Greendale, 5601 Broad St., where it's served in the shell, swimming in copious amounts of garlic butter. Perfect eaten with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Snake – Well, I've heard rattlesnake tastes like chicken, but rattlesnake meat is not exactly easy to find in Milwaukee. So, my advice is to head over to the Milwaukee Public Museum and search for the hidden "snake button," that when pressed will shake the tail of a rattlesnake strategically placed inside the bison hunt diorama.
Soft Shell Crab – Summer is high season for soft shell crabs. Watch for them on special at great spots like Harbor House, 550 N. Harbor Dr., Bosley's on Brady, 815 E. Brady St. and St. Paul's Fish in the Milwaukee Public Market.
Som Tam – Try this papaya salad at Mekong Café, 5930 W. North Ave., where you can choose from Laotian style with crab paste or Thai style with ground peanuts.
Spaetzle – Order this German classic at Karl Ratzsch's, 320 E. Mason St. Or head over to Cafe at the Plaza, where you can order it for breakfast with pork schnitzel, caramelized onions and bacon.
Spam – For spam in true Hawaiian style, visit Ono Kine Grindz, 7215 W. North Ave., in Wauwatosa, or sample it on a burger with caramelized onions, grilled pineapple and provolone at the Sail Loft, 649 E. Erie St.
Squirrel – Watching squirrels is great. Not sure about eating them. And I'm pretty sure you'll have a difficult time finding them at a restaurant in town. But, for the very determined, I recommend befriending a skilled hunter who is willing to share a few of his spoils.
Steak Tartare – You can't lose with the delicious classically prepared tartare at Lake Park Bistro, 3133 E. Newberry Blvd., where the dish is comprised of slices of raw filet mignon, onion, salt and pepper and a raw egg, mixed table side. But, you can also get an equally delicious version for lunch (or dinner) at Bavette, where it's prepared more playfully, sometimes served up with tonnato, a mayonnaise based sauce with tuna.
Sweet Potato Fries – If you're gonna go out of your way, go for the best. And those might just be at Oscar's Pub & Grill, 1712 W Pierce St., which serves theirs up with chipotle cinnamon seasoning and chipotle aioli.
Sweetbreads – I sampled my first tender sweetbreads at Ilija's Place in Cudahy, where they were prepared simply, pan fried and served with a wedge of lemon. Ilija's has since closed, but, you can find them relatively regularly at Hinterland Erie Street Gastropub, 222 E. Erie St., along with other offal delicacies like veal brains, rabbit kidneys, and duck heart.
Tom Yum – This coconut milk based, lemongrass infused soup is a popular choice at Thai-namite, 932 E. Brady St., where it can be ordered with chicken or shrimp.
Umeboshi – You needn't go further than the Asian foods section at Outpost Natural Foods to find these salty pickled Japanese plums. They are an acquired taste, but they can be eaten plain or used as an addition to sushi, rice dishes, or make into a tea by steeping mashed umeboshi in hot water.
Venison – Quite a few restaurants have taken a shine to this deliciously lean game. However, my recommendation is to check the ever-changing menu at Lazy Susan, 2378 S. Howell Ave., where Chef AJ Dixon frequently cooks up succulent dishes, like venison stew (perfect with a pumpkin old fashioned, if the bar is serving them up).
Wasabi Peas – Crunchy, spicy, sweet. This addictive snack is great for anyone who likes a bit of kick. You can find them at Trader Joe's as well as in the snack aisle at most grocery stores.
Zucchini Flowers – You'll have to wait for the summer months to nab a few of these from one of the area farmer's markets. Head to West Allis or South Shore for the best selection. Also look for seasonal stuffed squash blossom dishes on restaurant menus.

Cyber Monday to be super
Experts say sales will top $1.5 billion record
Experts estimate that Cyber Monday will top a record-breaking $1.5 billion in sales to become the largest online shopping event in history, with blockbuster deals that rival or exceed Black Friday doorbusters.
"We believe you'll find better deals and savings if you shop online from the comfort of your home or work," said Howard Schaffer, CEO of the Internet deal aggregator Offers.com. "We don't see any reason to risk going to the store and having to deal with the chaos of parking."

Thou Shalt Not LeakNews Abroad
Murray Polner, a HNN book reviewer, has written for the New York Times, Washington Monthly, Commonweal, The Nation, The American Conservative, Columbia Journalism Review, Newsday, and other publications.
In early 2012 at a White House press briefing ABC's Jake Tapper asked why the U.S. applauded courageous reporting overseas but did the reverse at home. "How, does that square with the fact that this administration has been so aggressively trying to stop aggressive journalism in the U.S. by using the Espionage Act to take whistle blowers to court?" The administration, he added, thinks "the truth should come out abroad; it shouldn't come out here."
Americans are said to love whistleblowers (at least in films and on TV), many of whom have also been called leakers for telling what they know to reporters who when subpoenaed by prosecutors refuse to reveal their confidential sources. That's conventional wisdom. Erin Brockovich and the cigarette company chemist in The Insider were depicted as good guys and gals. As was Ron Ridenhour, a Vietnam War helicopter door gunner who helped expose the murders of 300-500 Vietnamese peasants by U.S. troops at My Lai and was later honored. Daniel Ellsberg revealed a mountain of government lies during the Vietnam War, was threatened with prison, and remains a hero to anti-Vietnam War Americans. More recently, Jesselyn Radack's Traitor: The Whistleblower and the American Taliban related her story when she, a Justice Department lawyer and authority on legal ethics during the Bush administration, was harassed and fired for protesting what she claimed was official misconduct in the treatment of John Walker Lindh, the so-called "American Taliban."
Now the Obama administration has decided to crack down. Some government employees have been charged with leaking national security secrets, thereby violating the Espionage Act, a controversial law enacted in 1917 designed to hunt down "spies." More criminal cases have been brought by the Obama administration than all other presidential administrations combined.
From the Alien and Sedition Acts of the late eighteenth century to the age of McCarthyism there has always been tension between freedom and security. 9/11 has led to more and more restraints, some necessary and some not. The second Bush administration, for example, limited the use of the writ of habeas corpus and relied on Guantanamo, torture, and placing prisoners in secret prisons in countries adept in torture. Yet nowadays, despite Obama's "transparency" pledge, as many millions of documents, many just ordinary materials, are classified "top secret" whistleblowers -- their critics prefer calling them leakers -- are accused of endangering national security, the "holy of holies." The House of Representatives has just voted to authorize the attorney general to investigate "leaks of sensitive information" -- most likely to the New York Times, Washington Post and Foreign Policy -- about "sensitive information involving the military, intelligence, and operational capabilities of the U.S. and Israel."
Thomas A. Drake, who worked at the National Security Agency, was indicted for telling a Baltimore Sun reporter about a government software program purchased from a private firm which he believed was too costly and less effective than the one it would replace. Because of the prosecutor's refusal to allow certain secret material in court, the case collapsed and Drake was finally permitted to accept a plea bargain and received probation.
There are other pending cases. John Kiriakou, a former CIA official, is accused of naming a CIA employee for waterboarding a captured alleged Al Qaeda prisoner and Jeffrey Sterling, another one-time CIA officer, has been charged under the Espionage Act with leaking information about Iran to New York Times reporter James Risen for his book State of War. In June 2011 Stephen J. Kim, a specialist in weaponry who worked for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the Defense and State Departments studying North Korea's arms programs, was allegedly asked by a State Department officer to discuss North Korea with James Rosen of Fox News and the two spoke and exchanged e-mails. When Rosen reported news about the CIA and Pyongyang, Kim was indicted for leaking classified information and violating the Espionage Act. His trial will begin next Fall. And Pfc. Bradley Manning is now being court-martialed for supposedly leaking secret files to WikiLeaks.
The growth of the national security state will inevitably restrict some of our freedoms. Granted, it isn't easy to prevent actual terrorism and at same time preserve liberty. And granted, that while we have far too many secrets some must remain so, though relying on the Espionage Act is a ham-handed approach especially in an administration which once promised to act as an antidote to the Bush presidency. It's an old and oft-quoted observation but Benjamin Franklin's warning about the dangers of sacrificing liberty for security bears keeping in mind.

My mother currently lives somewhere in australia. When i was younger she moved to australia and sent me to numberous boarding schools throughout high school.
As i was living in colorado, after 2-3 years, she came back unnanounced to the state of colorado and got a judge to court order me in a mental hospital, she basically just listed 20+ psychological symptoms and convinced some shitty judge to lock me up.
The trust fund court hearings, which i was told not to be a part of, took place in colorado. I dont know what that means but, she does not live in colorado she lives in australia. Do i still contact the colorado adult help line?
Im sorry if there is unneccessary information in this reply, im just trying to get as much information as i can think of out there.
i contacted the people on the website you gave me by phone, they told me to call the attorney general, i did that and they said the attorney general only handles private cases or something and that they were not the people to call.
what do i tell these people specifically besides my mother took money out of my guardianed trust fund.
the attorney general said to call the police, should i dial 911 or find a number for the denver police departement?
i called the DA they told me to call the economics divison of fraud or something, and i got an answering machine. i left my number at the hotel im staying in hopefully theyll call me back shortly
i tried calling the dependent adult abuse services in florida, but they said since i wasnt a resident of florida they couldnt help me and directed me to a 211 counseling number or the sheriffs office. i will not have access to a phone within the next couple of days, should i try to contact colorado services.
thank you for being very helpful, i have one more follow up question. in my next accusation do i have a case for a private attorney or should i send this to the DA as well, or does it just make me seem crazy.
To get me convicted of being graveley disabled and unable to take care ofd myself, she had been talking to this psychiatrist for weeks possibly even months attempting to convince him i was mentally ill. This 'doctor' had 'diagnosed' me before even having had met me. The court documents and recorded statements will show that the accussations contradicted many statments made by the accusers.I do believe, as crazy as this sounds, my mother may have contacted a defense lawyer to defend me and entrap me as much as possible, taking away my right to a fair trial in the first place. This lawyer, Wendy Lewis, was not as is not a mental health defense lawyer, no one had ever heard of her and there was no way she could have found out about my case otherwise unless she knew me or of me from the community/city i was in, in colorado, at the time. this lawyer was very suspicious, refused to talk to me for more than 2 minutes before the trial to get information or a case together. She would wave her hand encouragingly if i said anything incriminating while on the witness stand.My mother has been taking me to therapists etc since i was 5 years old, talking to them for 3 weeks or more before having me see them in person, convincing them to accuse me of being bad or whatever she had in mind. I have been 'diagnosed' with probably over 20-30 symptoms over the years, a new one after one is 'resolved' or proven incorrect. i believe this is child abuse.as this was a traumatic experience being locked in a room for months at a time, then basically house arrest for a year afterwards, this is all becoming clear to me now.

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, along with several other federal agencies, held a national conference today on providing services to individuals with limited English skills. Approximately 450 representatives from federal, state and local agencies, along with community organizations and interpreters and translators from around the country gathered today to promote and share ideas to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) individuals have meaningful access to programs and activities as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Executive Order 13166.
The conference, held in Bethesda, Md., featured speakers from several federal agencies, including Grace Chung Becker, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, who delivered the keynote address. The opening plenary sessions focused on LEP issues arising in the context of disaster preparedness, response and recovery. Later break-out sessions covered a broad range of LEP-related topics, including suggestions for developing and implementing language access laws, lessons learned from practical experience with an LEP plan, and ideas for partnerships between federal agencies and business associations.
A highlight of the conference was the issuance of a practical technical assistance document containing "Top Tips" for providing language access, based on a recent survey of federal agencies. In addition, in keeping with the theme of the morning plenary sessions concerning emergency response and recovery, Acting Assistant Attorney General Becker issued a letter describing the critical nature of language services and the many ways in which government agencies at all levels, non-profits, and others can work together to ensure that language is not a barrier in emergency situations. In that letter, she encourages feedback from the public as the Division develops an Emergency Tool that will provide guidance for ensuring language access in emergency response and recovery situations.
The Top Tips document and the letter from Acting Assistant Attorney General Becker are being placed on the language access Web site managed by the Civil Rights Division, www.lep.gov. Also on the Web site is a video, brochures, and various technical assistance documents and planning tools, developed with two other federal agencies .
To request a translation of this press release in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese or Korean, please contact: The Coordination and Review Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, (202) 307-2222 or (202) 307-2678 (TDD).

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
You probably have cervicitis. Most commonly, cervicitis is the result of an infection, although it can also be caused by injury or irritation (a reaction to the chemicals in douches and contraceptives, for example, or a forgotten tampon). Infections can be due to STD's or yeast infection or bacterial infection such as G.Vaginalis, Streptococcal or Staphylococcal infection. You need to be treated according to the cause of the cervicitis to make the redness and the swelling disappear. I suggest to you to see a Gynecologist. If you already have a Gynecologist i suggest to you to get a second opinion. For detailed information please check the link just below:
If you do not have discharge or you have discharge and swab test did not show anything or negative or inconclusive then they can do urine and blood test to rule out an infection such as STD' s , bacterial infections causing cervicitis. In the mean time i suggest to you to stay away chemical irritants in douches, in lubricants , feminine hygiene products etc . If you still keep having the swelling and redness then the next steps can be taken. They are colposcopy, cervicography and cervical biopsy.
Did i answer your question ?

Stocks Socked in Early Trading
Nasty opening to the week, with all but a clutch of S&P 500 stocks in negative territory. The early bent is clearly defensive, with economically sensitive stocks suffering the steepest declines.
Stocks in the green include Newmont Mining and CF Industries. Gold is trading a bit higher, feeding on the euro-zone woes. CF is getting a boost after fertilizer rival Mosaic got some analyst love this morning. Mosaic, not in the S&P 500, is also higher.
A handful of retailers that got crushed last week are getting some dead-cat bounce-age, including Gap, Limited, Staples and TJX.
But it's mostly ugly out there out of the gate. Caterpillar is down 3%, International Paper is off 4% and a bunch of energy stocks are fading with oil down more than 4%, including Tesoro, National Oilwell Varco, ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Beautiful weather lures crowds to Jordan Lake
Posted May 25, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Jordan Lake parking lots filled to capacity Sunday, drawing crowds to boat, swim and fish in the warming waters.
The picture perfect will stick around for most of the state Sunday and into Monday, WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss said. The chance for showers by Memorial Day afternoon is only slight.
"I'd estimate that at about a 20 to 25 percent chance for central North Carolina," Moss said.
Sunday will be warmer, with highs in the low- to mid-80s in the Triangle and along the coast. Temperatures will be slightly cooler and the chance for showers and even a stray thunderstorm greater in the mountains.
"We'll see a mix of sun and fair-weather clouds today, and it will be a little bit more humid," Moss said. "But Sunday should stay dry across the Triangle. There is a very little chance for showers later in the afternoon along the coast."
Outdoor plans should stand for Memorial Day as well.
Daytime highs will continue to climb under partly cloudy skies, reaching the mid-80s.
"We could see an isolated to widely scattered shower or storm Monday afternoon," Moss said. "The better chance for rain is over the western half of the state."
After the holiday, the pattern of sunny, warm days with scattered afternoon thunderstorms will continue.
"By Tuesday and Wednesday, I'd put our chance at 40 percent for afternoon showers or storms," Moss said.

Trouble with west side is sitting with a set of binos is not going to be very helpful much of the time due to the vegetation.
We do a lot of walking on old logging roads, many of the blocked off so you don't have to dodge traffic and listening. Elk make a lot of noise in the salal. Out of habit I keep a diaphragm call in my mouth so if I crack a branch or make too much noise I can blow a little cow call - maybe they will think the "cow" made the noise.
Some guys will rig a carrier to a mountain bike so they can cover more ground, still sticking to the logging roads.
Lot of guys here from WA, so they might have more specific info. I was stationed there for a few years and did not get to hunt there very much.

Just this past year, CMN Hospitals provided $250,000 in equipment to treat the babies and children.

VETERAN polar explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes has lost his bid to be given a driving ban for speeding, which he would have sat out while undertaking an expedition across Antarctica.
The 68-year-old asked a court in Inverness to disqualify him for a short period after he was caught driving at 98mph on the A9 near Daviot last year. The sanction would have expired by the time he returns from his latest adventure.
But Justice of the Peace Richard Syred rejected the plea and instead fined the explorer.
Loading article content
He also added penalty points to his driving licence, which leaves him facing a ban should he be caught speeding again.
Sir Ranulph, who has raised millions of pounds for charity with his treks across both polar landscapes, was caught speeding by police on June 20 last year.
He was represented in court by road traffic law specialist Graham Walker, who has acted for many well-known personalities including cricketer Shane Warne and footballers Alan Hutton, Georgios Samaras and Steven Fletcher.
Mr Walker said: "Needless to say, Sir Ranulph is particularly embarrassed by this matter which comes before the court and he has instructed me to convey this.
"He was travelling to Inverness to be involved in a public speaking event on a bright summer's day when traffic was light.
"That doesn't excuse him travelling at 98mph.
"It was a long journey from his home in Somerset and it was perhaps a lapse of concentration on his part.
"He is not present because he is currently traversing the Antarctic. He is, of course, an explorer of some note and has done a great deal of charitable work."
Mr Walker added: "Personally, he has raised £2.5 million for the Marie Curie cancer fund and in total has raised £14.5m for various charities in the UK, so he is held in high regard by society.
"He has asked that the court consider a short-term ban."
Refusing Sir Ranulph's request, Mr Syred said: "I am well aware of his adventures and I admire him for that and for what he does for charity.
"But he has broken the law and I don't think a driving ban is appropriate.
"I will fine him £450, reduced from the £600 but for his early plea and also impose five penalty points on his licence."
Sir Ranulph left the UK on December 6 last year on board the expedition's South African ice-strengthened research ship SA Agulhas.
Last month the vessel set off from South Africa for the Antarctic with his support and scientific team.
The six expedition members will begin a six-month journey to reach the Ross Sea, with their route taking them to Captain Scott's base at McMurdo Sound via the South Pole.
If successful, they will have travelled nearly 250 miles, mostly in complete darkness amid temperatures as low as -90°C.

Violation Of Unwritten Rule Lead To Unruly Red Sox Reaction
Boston Red Sox catcher David Ross was asked if he was bothered by Yunel Escobar stealing 3rd base with the Rays up by a score of 8-3.
His answer was somewhat odd as he said the "whole team" took exception to Escobar stealing third with two-out and a five run lead in the ninth – except it was the seventh inning – but the point was the Rays violated some unwritten rule of baseball.
Why would the Red Sox be upset? Less than 24 hours earlier they enjoyed a five run lead which was wiped out in just five innings. Five run leads in major league baseball are no longer safe and not playing for the extra run late in games is a relic as old as batting a good bunter rather than a high on-base guy in the two hole of the batting order.
He was at least man enough to expand on the notion that it was just a showboating Escobar inciting the Red Sox when he said, "I think our whole team took exception to the stolen base, two outs in [seventh]. He's in scoring position I think were just tired of being beat."
It would seem the last part of his statement in reference to the Red Sox now 10-game losing streak has more to do with the bench's reaction than what happened between the white lines.

Eddie Vedder Mocks Donald Trump at Bill Maher's New Year's Eve Show
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder celebrated his New Year in Hawaii, performing at a pair of holiday shows with comedian Bill Maher, and he used the opportunity to poke fun at GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
For this year's installment of Maher's annual "Honolulu on the Eve" and "Maui on New Year's Day" shows, the Real Time host was accompanied by Vedder and fellow comedians David Spade and Jeffrey Ross. According to the Honolulu Star Advertiser, Vedder came out on stage with Maher to cover the Who's "The Seeker" and play Pearl Jam's "Soon Forget." For the latter song, Vedder made a fitting dedication to Trump. (Take a listen to the spot-on lyrics right here.) There's also a clip of Vedder performing "Smile" on ukulele, which you can watch at the bottom of the page.
Vedder jokingly expressed his admiration for Maher, who is famously opposed to organized religion: "I love [Maher] so much that I might say I follow him religiously… but I don't know how he'd like that."

The bolt came back from Taylors. I installed it and tried both the BP and the center fire cylinder, both lock up tight.
Now I have to find my Lee turret loading press and dies.
While waiting for the return of the bolt, I started building a large archery target, almost done. (its 4ft by 4ft, 18 inches deep, stuffed with batting and mounted on a metal stand, sick of shooting out $100 targets, this one is being built like the ones we have on the outdoor archery range at the club). When that is complete, the purchase of the reloader is next in line. Many thanks to all the members for their advice regarding .45 Colt, reloading and all the other questions I've asked on this thread.
