What would a second term for President Obama mean for feds?
The administration promotes numerous policy and program successes and it is on these successes President Obama's second term priorities likely will be built. The Office of Management and Budget did not respond to requests for specifics on the President's management agenda for the next four years, so we looked to the previous initiatives and asked experts for their opinions to devine the future in part 5 of our special, week-long multimedia report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years
00Transparency has gotten worse not betterWilhelm HeisenburgIt used to be you could go look up in the budget bills the amount each program got. Since Obama took office, all you can see is the amount each agency and subagency is given . The mounts programs are given are obscured. This is transparency? I only get what my agency verbally tells me, nothing in writing anymore. Transparency? Its all talk and anything but.

This unit aims to address certain paradoxes which arise in the practice and theory of acting, particularly in the context of modern drama. Unit content proceeds from a consideration of Diderot's definition of the paradox of the actor as one of double consciousness in that the actor must nightly express emotions while creating the illusion of spontaneity. Through practical workshops and seminars, students will explore theories of acting from key figures in the modern era, such as Stanislavski, Brecht, Benedetti and Schechner. Particular focus will be placed on questions of the boundaries between self and character, outside-in versus inside-out methods of constructing character, analysis of actor-training methods, comparison between Western and Eastern definitions and training of actors, and the differential demands of performance for stage and screen.

True Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is Spain's finest culinary achievement. Rich and flavorful with a nutty taste, this ham is truly remarkable.
These hams are from free-roaming black Ibérico pigs that gorge themselves on acorns. The resulting ham cures for over two years.
Our Jamón Ibérico de Bellota slices sell for almost $60 for 3 ounces. Here, we offer you 3 ounces for a fraction of that price. Note that these small pieces do have a significant amount of flavorful fat. This can be used to flavor stews or even paella, since it literally melts when heated. A favorite recipe of ours is to place a small amount in shucked oysters and broil them for a couple of minutes. The fat melts into the lightly cooked oyster - incredible!

BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?

BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?Hey all,
A question for the SE-QLDers... I have been looking at a ride loop from home in the Bris city to Dayboro and back. I've done lots of motorbiking out that way and it's a nice part of the world. As it stands I am thinking of riding out through Samford, along Mt Samson Rd to Dayboro, then rather than just doubling back, taking Dayboro Rd to Old North Rd heading back into Bris. I know Mt Samson Rd is fairly safe with a decent shoulder most of the way along and pretty good visibility for passing drivers, but has anyone ridden along Dayboro Rd at all? Trying to figure out if it's safe enough to cycle on... Same does go with Mt Samson Rd really, anyone done any cycling on there at all? Obviously the high (100kph) speed limits could be bad news, but it's such a nice area and it'd make for a nice long 100k ride! Appreciate any help! Cheers, Tk
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?Dayboro Road is at least as safe as Mt Samson Road.
Actually I would say that Dayboro Road has more shoulder than Mt Samson Rd.
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?what day of the week? there is a quarry between Dayboro and Old North Rd and there are truck drivers who enter/exit said quarry. you judge for yourself how you feel about cycling near truck drivers in a high speed zone.
recently (earlier this year) the Dayboro police issued a notice to some cycling clubs about cyclists and riding in the area. IMO it didn't address the key issue of driver ignorance (and police ignorance), but be warned drivers in the area have made complaints about cyclists. Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.

Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?Well usually I would say Sunday, but in this instance I was considering doing it tomorrow morning, being Monday (for any thread searchers)... Leaving home at about 0530, I guess I'd be at Dayboro and getting onto Dayboro Rd at about 0700, back in Brisbane about 0830-0900. I suppose I could leave earlier, say 0500 to get me past the aforementioned quarry and onto Old North Rd at say 0700. You don't happen to know what sort of times the trucks start moving do you? I'm quite confident with all traffic conditions/keeping to a shoulder and have ridden in 100kph zones before in places like the road across Straddie - which is quite narrow with no ridable shoulder for a part of the way - but there is no use in getting myself killed if it's just too sketchy! Have you guys actually cycled on those roads? Obviously each to their own, but if so, did it feel unsafe? Appreciate the warning in regards to angry drivers, would watch out for rogue egg attacks and the like!
I would have thought these roads might be frequented by cyclists quite a bit, but when it comes to longer distance rides from Brissy I'm well and truly a noob! Appreciate the help, Tk
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?yes I did ride the roads through there as part of the many and varied training loops I had around there, hence the warning about the day of the week, I left that section for sunday riding only. I do not road train anymore so do not cycle the area, prefer to do it on the moto now, the hills seem so much easier for some reason. no idea on the times of the quarry suffice to say that if you do the loop you're mentioning you would hope the trucks are all heading towards the quarry and out of harms way. that section of road is actually wider than Mt Samson Rd (Samford to Dayboro) but that doesn't seem to make it safer.
Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.

Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?i would agree that dayboro rd, despite being wider, is busier and has more trucks...
you could try heading out to dayboro, then backtracking a bit, then along winn road, then old north(ern) road. (though winn road is known for trucks too) even adding clear mountain if you want a challenge...(very, very steep - but not particularly long)
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?so did you ride it?
Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.
- anonymous
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?oxford: you talking about riding clear mountain?
i have been up it from the south side - but only down the north (which seems like it is the tougher of the routes). it was so steep you couldn't sit in the saddle or the front wheel would jump up!
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?I rode dayboro rd. once, tonnes of trucks from the quarry (who seemed reluctant to give any space), little shoulder, and it's really not that interesting. Rather unenjoyable all in all, I wouldn't recommend it. Winn rd. & clear mountain are much nicer.
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?last time I rode Clear Mountain I was getting rear wheel spins, very unsettling, kept thinking I was going to stall and tip sideways. Winn Rd is more a shorter rolling hills, Dayboro Rd a longer rolling hills option from memory. but given a choice, week days Winn Road is the better option weekdays, 80km/h max speed (60km/h at one point) and more localised traffic rather than commercial traffic.
Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.

Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?
haha, yeah. Wouldn't recommend it in the wet.
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?
was even scarier going down the other side. trying to balance the brakes to maintain control and speed (ie keep speed down). Life is not about waiting for the rain to pass.....it's about learning to dance (or ride) in the rain.
- anonymous
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?Haha, Clear Mountain on a roadie is out of the question for a while! I'm trying to avoid MAJOR hills as I have a slightly bung knee I'm nursing. Plus, holy crap it is a serious hill! I LOVE it on the motorbike, it's like a bloody rollercoaster, but that would be a fitness test on a pushbike for sure! I didn't head out this morning because I ended up being up quite late last night, plus the wx wasn't supposed to be ideal (yes I know you die hard types say HTFU when it comes to a bit of precip ). I'm all set to have a realitely early night and head out there at about 0500 tomorrow. I'm hoping these trucks aren't too big an issue, presumably if they are going from the quarry they will be on the other side anyway. I guess if i get hit by one on the way to the quarry at least it will have an empty bed and a little less inertia... Either way, I know it's not the most exciting ride along Dayboro Rd, but the distance works out to what I want and I know the way from there... Assume if I don't post up tomorrow with a post-ride report I am either half way and very tired, or something more sinister has happened...
Cheers for the insight. Tk
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?
yeah, I gave up on trying to slow down pretty quickly last time I went out there. Just let go of the brakes and held on for dear life
Re: BNE: Riding on Mt Samson/Dayboro Rd?Well, I'm back, alive, and VERY tired... That was by far the most difficult ride I've ever done. My max before that was about 70km, and mostly around the bay where it's flat. That was 96, and most certainly not as flat as it feels on a motorbike! Took about 3.5 hrs including all the bloody traffic lights in the city going both directions. As for the roads...
Mt Samson Rd was great! The surface is pretty rough, would have loved some gel bar tape... But other than that there were very few cars, maybe one every minute or two, and even without a shoulder a lot of the way it felt very safe. The main thing I wanted to see as far as scenery goes was that pineapple farm at the Dayboro end of the road - something about a field of pinapples makes me happy haha it didn't let me down... Daybroro Rd was a different story! I'm not sure what it would be like going the other direction (seems like there is a decent shoulder on that side for parts of the road), but coming from Dayboro towards Petrie there is literally no shoulder at all for at least 10-15kms. Cars were coming by at least once every 15 seconds at 100kph+, and because it's busy both ways they didn't really have a lot of room to move over into the oncoming lane at all to get past me. Only had a few trucks pass me, but saw maybe 8 going the other direction. All in all I was riding along the white edge line just waiting to be cleaned up, hesitant to reach down for the water bottle in case I waggled out onto the road half a foot... After about the 15km mark the surface had been redone and a shoulder added, then it was smooth sailing all the way to Youngs Crossing Rd. Old North Rd was alright, I was getting pretty tired by that stage and no amount of jam sandwiches or gadorade seemed to help! There was a good bike lane for most of the road, traffic was pretty heavy being about 8:30am on a weekday (ie; people heading into town), but it wasn't too bad. I must have got at least 95% of the red lights on it though, they kept rolling to orange just as I was too far away to get through Either way, if and when I head out that direction again I think I will indeed take Winns Rd off Mt Samson in order to avoid Dayboro and the beginning of Old North. Was a good leg workout though, the hills aren't steep, but by the end of the ride you start to realise how constantly undulating it is! I was pretty happy when I got back to the top of Herston Rd in the city and knew it was all dowhill/flat back to New Farm. Anyway once again thanks for the input about the route! Tk

NOLA Restaurant Celebrates 20 Years
Posted by: Camille BrelandProceeds from Classic Menu Donated to Youth and Community Initiatives
NEW ORLEANS (Oct. 1, 2012) - NOLA, Chef Emeril Lagasse's funky French Quarter restaurant, turned 20 this year and is celebrating by bringing back a few classic dishes, with proceeds from the special menu benefitting youth- and community-enriching initiatives in the New Orleans area. During the month of October, a portion of proceeds from the throwback menu will be donated to the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, which supports local programs such as the Edible Schoolyard and Café Reconcile and sustains a four-year culinary arts program at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts.
"NOLA has experienced an amazing ride in the past 20 years, always maintaining its foundation of high-quality, fresh, local ingredients coupled with excellent customer service," said Lagasse, owner and executive chef of the restaurant. "With his intuitive culinary talent, Chef Josh is leading NOLA into a new era of New Orleans cuisine, grounded in Creole tradition but-of course-kicked up a notch with slight ethnic twists."
The month of October NOLA will offer the special menu, including fan-favorites such as the cedar-planked roasted drum, pecan crusted trout and smoked rabbit and andouille etouffée. Guests may also join Tom Fitzmorris at NOLA's Eat Club dinner on October 9, 7 - 10 p.m.
Opened in 1992 as Lagasse's second restaurant, NOLA brought the chef's modern Creole and Acadian cuisine to the heart of the Quarter. Today the restaurant's kitchen is overseen by Chef Josh Laskay, a native New Orleanian who enjoys blending ethic flavors such as Vietnamese and Southwestern cuisine with Louisiana's Creole heritage.
Reservations for NOLA Restaurant can be made online at OpenTable.com or by calling (504) 522-6652. View the full menus.
About NOLA Restaurant
Since opening in 1992, NOLA has garnered numerous awards and recognitions for its culinary excellence. In 1993, the restaurant was named Esquire magazine's "Best New Restaurant"; named a "haute spot" by Southern Living; given top accolades by the Times Picayune restaurant critic; and hosted Julia Child for dinner after a taping of her show "Master Chefs." NOLA welcomed its 1 millionth customer in 2000 and was named "Best Restaurant" by WHERE magazine's Visitor's Choice Awards. In 2009, it earned a "top service" rating by Zagat and saw 2 million customers come through by 2011. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have both dined in the restaurant, as well as countless famous actors, musicians and artists.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday according to ESPN's Adam Shefter. Bryan most recently had kicked in the UFL. Bryant was cut by Tampa Bay at the conclusion of training camp. He was unable to try and defend his kicking job due to a hamstring injury.
The Falcons cut veteran kicker Jason Elam after he struggled this season making 12-of-19 field goals. Bryant played four seasons with Tampa Bay, 2005-2008, and for his career he has made 82.1 percent of his field goal tries.
If Bryant can stay with Atlanta through the rest of the season, Bryant would return to Raymond James Stadium in Week 17 to play against the Buccaneers.

A co-worker gives a first-in-a-lifetime experience

Good lord, we've upset Buckingham Palace again.
Well not "we" but Italian tabloid magazine, "Chi" - whose photographers have managed to snap some photos of the Duchess of Cambridge - sporting a bright blue bikini and a visible baby bump, on the Caribbean island of Mustique.
In what can only be described as a massive overreaction, a spokesperson from St James Palace issued this statement:
"We are disappointed that photographs of the Duke and Duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas."
After all the drama surrounding the Duchess' early pregnancy, you'd think everyone concerned would be happier just to lay low.
In fact, if the palace really wanted to make a statement about them, they should have just ignored the photos altogether. Talking about how disappointed they are, will only make people want to see them more.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. We all know the Duchess is pregnant now, so what's the harm in seeing her healthy, happy and relaxed?
And relaxed they're bound to be. According to the magazine the royal couple are lapping it up in Mustique on a "babymoon"; staying in a villa, with the Middleton family said to cost around $29, 000 a week.
Sounds tough doesn't it?

iansand says:
Saying that you are disappointed is not an overreaction. Dispatching a team of assassins would be an overreaction.
steve says:
There seems to be an issue with the video included in this article as it doesn't include any of the photos of Kate in her bikini.
ramases says:
As long as the brain deads need the satisfaction of looking into other peoples lives even if they are of little or no consequence, then space will be wasted on blogs, media and the like. Just shows what uninteresting lives that most people live doesn't it when they need this kind of crap in their lives. Sad, sad people.
Samantha says:
So basically the author is saying that it's our right as citizens of the Crown to poke our collective noses into the private lives of our future King and Queen. This is kind of like saying that it's everybody's right to hack into my Facebook page and see / read content that was not intended for their viewing.
Same thing, more or less.
Baloo says:
Why does the media have such an obsession with the royals?
It must be exhausting being a royal, every time you leave your bedroom people are sneaking a quick photo of you.
dancan says:
Heading to a private island, for you know…privacy, having that invaded by photographers with a telescoptic lens and then saying you're disappointed by the actions of Chi, is not an overreaction.
This actually makes me fell sorry for the royal family
Neil says:
Wow. $29k a week. I'll be a royal for half that. Prince Neil of Australia, bow down to my ponciness. I'll even do some nudey pics. No, that would be a human rights violation. My family goes all the way back to the mid-late 1800s.
PsychoHyena says:
I'm disappointed that being disappointed is now classed as being a 'massive overreaction'.
Though given how the media likes taking photos of people out and about minding their own business, perhaps the celebs should hire paps to chase the media around everywhere. I bet there'd be some interesting results of that campaign. Most likely the media would complain about breach of privacy.
St. Michael says:
"We all know the Duchess is pregnant now, so what's the harm in seeing her healthy, happy and relaxed?"
Put it this way, Lucy: a fair proportion, if not most, pregnant women feel like beached whales every time they're out in public—no matter how "flattering" the clothes.
Therefore: how would you react to having a goon with a camera taking pictures of you in what amounts to underwear on what you thought would be a private beach?
This is not Princess Diana suing the owner of the LA Fitness gym, who took photographs of her working out on a machine visible from the street through the front shop window. In that case you might argue Diana deliberately invaded her own privacy. This was meant to be a private activity. I am gratified you didn't resort to the insulting argument that "Hey, Kate's security is pretty crap, look how close a photographer got to her, imagine if it was a guy with a sniper rifle."
"... staying in a villa, with the Middleton family said to cost around $29, 000 a week."
Are you saying it's more acceptable to breach someone's privacy when they have more money than you do?
Or was there some more philosophical message you were trying to impart *cough* class warfare *cough cough* here?
Robert S McCormick says:
Does anyone, other than the papparats (deliberate spelling error) who stand to make lots of money out of this muck really give a toss what the British Royal Family is up to? Many years ago the Brits had an empire. They lost it. They are now just the inhabitants of a tiny, horribly over-crowded, island off the coast of Europe. Their #1 Tourist Attraction, for that is all they are, are totally & unjustifiably spoilt rotten. They do little or no work, they, like the rest of us sit down to do "it", Some Punchers have said "It must be exhausting being a royal". Well, if it is they all know what they can do about that don't they? Give it all up & get real jobs - mind you they would probably find that hard as none of them are renowned for their sparkling intelligence & with the UK's current Unemployment nightmare their chances would be nil.
That, of course, simply won't happen for they have become so dependent on Social Welfare to the tune of millions of pounds/dollars every year that the very idea of actually doing some work (No, I don't think shaking hands & smiling like a moron with big teeth is actually doing any work) fills them with horror & casts them into a deep pit of Depression. At least, until they want a holiday here for which pay, it is the Brits who have to foot the bills.
That Kate Middleton is contributing to the already over-populated world, let alone the UK, is a disgrace. It will just become yet another parasite, just like those children of Andrew & Fergie, living off the the British taxpayers.
Iggy Crash says:
The bitterness in the article is palpable! The fact that you feel the need to end such with such a snarky like like, "Sounds thought, doesn't it" in an article trying to justify and husband and wife's right to privacy. Just because they're rich (The Middleton's in their own right!), doesn't mea that gives us an all access pass into their lives. Besides wealthy, just because they're royalty doesn't mean they have no rights to a private holiday either! Their income may be tax-payer funded, if you want to be so narrow, but that still gives them a right to a private holiday.
Not only that, but that one line sentence expressing disappointment at this invasion is hardly an over-reaction.
lostinperth says:
The palace is fine, it is the media who need to get a grip.
Respect their privacy, how hard is that to understand?Lucy, instead of bagging the palace, how about bagging the intrusive low lives who think stalking is OK . Or those publishing pictures they know were taken without the subjects consent.
Paparazzi Pete says:
Hey Lucy, can I follow you around and take photos of you in a bikini whilst on holiday with your family?
Pattem says:
Freedom of the press does not always trump the right to privacy!
What celebrities do in public is fair game, as freedom of the press, or newsworthiness, overrides the right to privacy - certainly in the US. However, it must be stipulated that Mustique Island is a PRIVATE ISLAND.
What has transpired is a gross invasion of privacy.
Palzy says:
The fact that 'women' magazines are in a bidding war for a photo of a 'pregnant woman' in a bikini puts the IQ of the target audience in prospectus for me. You can just hear Lucy and the 'sisters' screaming 'sexism' if these holiday snaps wound up in a 'mens' magazine. Oh ...the hypocrisy!!!
stephen says:
The Duchess seems like a thoroughly likeable and clever young lady, but for a spokesman to make comments on her behalf as to what she feels, or what constitutes poor 'advertizing', reeks of a bad sense of decorum.
What does she think and say about this ?
I would have thought that The House of Windsor would have let her said her own peace, and to defend herself if she felt the need.
The Royals do not need anther Di, who needed protection wherever she went because she was so blasted vulnerable.

The Last Great Senator: Robert C. Byrd's Encounters with Eleven U.S. Presidents
By David A. Corbin
Potomac Books, 379 pages. Hardcover, $34.95.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- During 52 years in the U.S. Senate, Robert C. Byrd was involved in some of the most momentous issues of our time, from Civil Rights and the Vietnam War to Watergate, from the line-item veto to the invasion of Iraq. But his role and contributions are regularly overlooked, argues his former speechwriter and historian David A. Corbin.Corbin's new book "The Last Great Senator: Robert C. Byrd's Encounters with Eleven U.S. Presidents" provides a fascinating look at Byrd's changing philosophy and political leadership over his Senate career, the longest in U.S. history.
"Despite his records and his involvement in so much history," Corbin writes, "no person of his stature has received so little historical attention. For so long, national newspapers, political pundits and others outside the Senate ridiculed, criticized, scoffed and stereotyped the West Virginia senator."
As an example, Corbin cites the critical role Byrd played during Senate hearings exposing the Watergate scandal that brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon -- a role often forgotten.
Foreign policy
Later in his life, Byrd repeatedly said the Congressional vote he regretted most was one cast in favor of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on August 7, 1964, enabling Lyndon B. Johnson to escalate the Vietnam War.
By 1968, he began questioning the wisdom of the Vietnam War, directly criticizing Johnson, Corbin points out. While he originally had a cordial relationship with Nixon, that broke down over issues like that war.
By 1973, Byrd was criticizing the Nixon White House for "abusing the rights of antiwar protesters" and bombing Cambodia.
In 1971, Byrd supported the release and publication of the controversial "Pentagon Papers" -- previously secret government documents about its involvement in Vietnam between 1945 and 1967.
Byrd's opposition to aggressive foreign policies and military ventures grew over the years.
During Jimmy Carter's administration, Byrd was a major supporter of the controversial Panama Canal Treaty that returned land to local residents. In the early 1980s, Byrd strongly opposed Ronald Reagan's belligerent ventures in Central America.
Byrd was particularly critical of Reagan's Iran-contra scandal, Corbin points out. Reagan arranged the sale of U.S. weapons to Iran, trying to free American hostages in Beirut, then secretly used money from that sale to fund right-wing opposition to the Nicaraguan government.
Byrd fought Reagan's efforts to dismantle Social Security, close job training programs, cut school lunches and reduce veterans' hospital benefits.
Byrd "inspired the Senate to stand up to Reagan," Corbin writes.
"After Vietnam, Byrd had turned against military action as a first resort and had become cautious about giving the president authority for such."
In 2001, Byrd supported George W. Bush's "war on terror" initially, but soon changed when it became obvious Bush was citing false intelligence information and concealing the real costs of war.
Byrd became a critic, perhaps the nation's most eloquent critic, of the Iraq war and, later, of continuing the Afghanistan war.
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the right and power to declare war, Byrd stressed repeatedly in speeches on the Senate floor.
Racial views
But Corbin engages in a bit of historical revisionism in repeatedly arguing Byrd's opposition to legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 was based primarily on a belief that the Constitution limits the federal government from dictating to states how to govern and how to hold elections.

$229 vacuum tube amplifier wows audiophiles
If you think all high-end products are stupid expensive or mammoth monstrosities, the MiniWatt vacuum tube integrated amplifier should change your mind. What differentiates high-end gear from mass market technology is performance; mainstream manufacturers know sound quality isn't much of a priority for most buyers, so they build their products to sound just good enough.
By high-end standards at least, the MiniWatt is dirt cheap, just $229 (shipping is $40). And measuring just 5 by 4 inches, the little guy can fit anywhere. Powerful it's not, just 2.5 watts for each channel, but that should be plenty … Read more

Lawmakers are back under the dome of the Texas Capitol for a new session for a new age in politics, with the reminder of what happened two years ago in the back of their minds.
Two years ago, education funding was slashed by $5.4 billion, the use of the state's emergency "rainy day" fund was frowned upon, and a controversial Voter ID bill got through both chambers but was found unconstitutional against minority voters by the court system.
According to State Comptroller Susan Combs, Texas lawmakers will have will have $101.4 billion to work with during the next legislative session. Combs said the estimated $96 billion in revenue from taxes, fees and other sources is up nearly $20 billion from previous years.
"General revenue collections in 2008 and 2009 -- leading into the [legislative] session -- totaled $79.6 billion," Combs said. "In 2010 - 2011, as we hit bottom and began to climb out the revenues were $4.5 billion less."
Craft brewing companies have provided plenty of fun to beer fans, and according to a report by University of Texas at San Antonio economics professor Scott Metzger (who also happens to run his very own brewery, Freetail Brewing Company) have generated $608 million in the Lone Star State.
Metzger estimates that by 2020, the industry will generate $5.6 billion, a figure he calls conservative.
It was 10 years ago that I met the remarkable Mexican soprano Olivia Gorra, at the 2003 Festival Internacional de Cervantino. She had just made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Turandot, with more performances to come.
The pride of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Olivia performed an outdoor program at Guanajuato's Alhondiga which was capped off by a rousing set with her fellow Veracruzanos, the folkloric ensemble Tlen Huicani. Despite her numerous opera house successes, I doubt she has ever had them dancing in the aisles at the Met.
Each week on World Music (Saturday nights from 8-10 on KSTX 89.1 FM), I take a look at celebrations happening around the world. This weekend marks the official end of the Christmas season for many cultures.
The Epiphany is celebrated around the world in many different ways. This day marks the manifestation of the Son of God as a human being in Jesus Christ. It's also the day marked by the visitation of the Three Kings to the infant Jesus.
Another former basic training instructor is in the brig after being court-martialed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Thursday.
Staff Sgt. Christopher Jackson will spend 100 days in the brig and 30 days doing hard labor. Jackson is the sixth instructor to be court-martialed in the still-growing sex scandal at Lackland.
Jackson was found guilty of having sexual relationships with two trainees, and of obstructing justice by asking one of them to lie to investigators.
San Antonio Police Department has arrested one of their own after an FBI investigation led to federal charges.
SAPD Chief William McManus said he's disgusted at the alleged actions of SAPD officer Curtis Lundy.
"There are few things in public service that are worse than a bad cop," said McManus. "As the highest ranking official in the San Antonio Police Department, I do not, and will not ever, tolerate a crime committed by any public official; especially one of my officers."
Texas Matters: It's finally here! The 83rd Texas Legislature will be sworn in and start on Tuesday, Jan. 8.

What Oprah Knows for Sure About Getting Unstuck
Oprah.com | From the September 2005 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
It's time for you to break on through! Get unstuck, and do that thing you've been aching to do.
Nothing happens until you decide. Years ago on my show, a young mother shared her frustration with getting her son to go to bed. Her son was 3 and ruling the house. He wanted to sleep in her bed and refused to lie down in his own. The more the mother insisted, the more the child resisted—yelling, screaming, and literally dropping from exhaustion.
We showed a tape of the two of them wrestling it out. When our expert, Dr. Stanley Turecki, finished watching, he said something that made the hairs on my arm stand up: "Nothing happens until you decide." The reason her 3-year-old didn't sleep in his own bed was that the mother had not decided it would happen. When she did, the child would go to his bed. He might cry and scream and rant until he fell asleep, but he would eventually realize that his mother had made up her mind.
Well, I knew he was speaking about a 3-year-old, but I also knew for sure that this brilliant piece of advice applied to many other aspects of life: Relationships. Career moves. Weight issues. Everything depends on your decisions.
For years I was stuck in a weight trap, yo-yoing up and down the scale. I made a decision two years ago to stop wishing, praying, and wanting, wanting, wanting to be better. Instead I figured out what it would really take to improve my life. Then I decided to do it.
When you don't know what to do, my best advice is to do nothing until clarity comes. Getting still, being able to hear your own voice and not the voices of the world, quickens clarity. Once you decide what you want, you make a commitment to that decision. One of my favorite quotes is from mountaineer W.H. Murray:
"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. / Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
Make a decision, and watch your life move forward.

UK's Electric Highway rollout includes world's first wind-powered EV charging post
Ecotricity's Green Park wind turbine has been operational since 2005, and now has an electric vehicle charging point directly connected to it (Photo : Creative Commons public domain)
Ecotricity has unveiled plans to install green-energy-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging points at selected motorway service stations running up the UK's automotive backbone. Aiming to end potential range anxiety and speed up the adoption of EVs in Britain, the national network of charging posts will be rolled out to every Welcome Break service station, as well as other key locations, in the UK by the end of the year. Each charging post will receive its power from the company's wind and solar parks across the country, and one of the first three to go live is directly connected to the resident wind turbine at Reading's Green Park business park - offering electric motorists true zero emission driving.

Structural Dynamics of Light-Driven Proton Pumps Structure, Volume 17, Issue 9, 9 September 2009, Pages 1265-1275 Magnus Andersson, Erik Malmerberg, Sebastian Westenhoff, Gergely Katona, Marco Cammarata, Annemarie B. Wöhri, Linda C. Johansson, Friederike Ewald, Mattias Eklund, Michael Wulff, Jan Davidsson and Richard Neutze Summary Bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin are simple heptahelical proton pumps containing a retinal chromophore covalently bound to helix G via a protonated Schiff base. Following the absorption of a photon, all-trans retinal is isomerized to a 13-cis conformation, initiating a sequence of conformational changes driving vectorial proton transport. In this study we apply time-resolved wide-angle X-ray scattering to visualize in real time the helical motions associated with proton pumping by bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin. Our results establish that three conformational states are required to describe their photocycles. Significant motions of the cytoplasmic half of helix F and the extracellular half of helix C are observed prior to the primary proton transfer event, which increase in amplitude following proton transfer. These results both simplify the structural description to emerge from intermediate trapping studies of bacteriorhodopsin and reveal shared dynamical principles for proton pumping.

Time-Resolved Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of the Polarizable Proton Continua and the Proton Pump Mechanism of Bacteriorhodopsin Biophysical Journal, Volume 80, Issue 2, 1 February 2001, Pages 961-971 Jianping Wang and Mostafa A. El-Sayed Abstract Nanosecond-to-microsecond time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the 3000–1000-cm−1 region has been used to examine the polarizable proton continua observed in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) during its photocycle. The difference in the transient FTIR spectra in the time domain between 20ns and 1ms shows a broad absorption continuum band in the 2100–1800-cm−1 region, a bleach continuum band in the 2500–2150-cm−1 region, and a bleach continuum band above 2700cm−1. According to Zundel (G. Zundel, 1994, J. Mol. Struct. 322:33–42), these continua appear in systems capable of forming polarizable hydrogen bonds. The formation of a bleach continuum suggests the presence of a polarizable proton in the ground state that changes during the photocycle. The appearance of a transient absorption continuum suggests a change in the polarizable proton or the appearance of new ones. It is found that each continuum has a rise time of less than 80ns and a decay time component of ∼300μs. In addition, it is found that the absorption continuum in the 2100–1800-cm−1 region has a slow rise component of 190ns and a fast decay component of ∼60μs. Using these results and those of the recent x-ray structural studies of bR570 and M412 (H. Luecke, B. Schobert, H.T. Richter, J.-P. Cartailler, and J. K. Lanyi, 1999, Science 286:255–260), together with the already known spectroscopic properties of the different intermediates in the photocycle, the possible origins of the polarizable protons giving rise to these continua during the bR photocycle are proposed. Models of the proton pump are discussed in terms of the changes in these polarizable protons and the hydrogen-bonded chains and in terms of previously known results such as the simultaneous deprotonation of the protonated Schiff base (PSB) and Tyr185 and the disappearance of water molecules in the proton release channel during the proton pump process.

Nature of the Chromophore Binding Site of Bacteriorhodopsin: The Potential Role of Arg as a Principal Counterion Biophysical Journal, Volume 76, Issue 5, 1 May 1999, Pages 2370-2389 Anakarin Kusnetzow, Deepak L. Singh, Charles H. Martin, Igor J. Barani and Robert R. Birge Abstract The nature of the chromophore binding site of light-adapted bacteriorhodopsin is analyzed by using modified neglect of differential overlap with partial single and double configuration interaction (MNDO-PSDCI) molecular orbital theory to interpret previously reported linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopic measurements. We conclude that in the absence of divalent metal cations in close interaction with Asp85 and Asp212, a positively charged amino acid must be present in the same vicinity. We find that models in which Arg82 is pointed upward into the chromophore binding site and directly stabilizes Asp85 and Asp212 are successful in rationalizing the observed one-photon and two-photon properties. We conclude further that a water molecule is strongly hydrogen bonded to the chromophore imine proton. The chromophore "1Bu*+" and "1Ag*−" states, despite extensive mixing, exhibit significantly different configurational character. The lowest-lying "1Bu*+" state is dominated by single excitations, whereas the second-excited "1Ag*−" state is dominated by double excitations. We can rule out the possibility of a negatively charged binding site, because such a site would produce a lowest-lying "1Ag*−" state, which is contrary to experimental observation. The possibility that Arg82 migrates toward the extracellular surface during the photocycle is examined. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1742 kb) |

2H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been used to study the dynamics of amino acid residues in bacteriorhodopsin with results that depend on the method of sample preparation. We show here that in [2H]-leucine-labeled samples the intensity of the isotropic signal varies according to the degree of residual contamination of the sample with red membrane. We conclude that few of the surface leucine residues of bacteriorhodopsin are moving isotropically on the 2H-NMR time scale.

Couscous from Tunisia
The "pasta" of North Africa.
If you're like me and always wondered what the fuss was about couscous—to me it seemed more like a vehicle for flavor, not something flavorful itself—here's your answer. Totally delicious, toasty, wheaty couscous that is as tasty as anything you add to it.
M'hamsa means "by hand" in Arabic, and that's exactly what this is: handmade couscous from the farm of Majid Mahjoub. The ground semolina, from wheat grown on the farm, is mixed slowly with water and touch of sea salt and Mahjoub's extra-virgin olive oil. The couscous is very literally hand rolled and dried the old way, in the sun.
"We make it a first time, then let it rest three days, and then we roll it again," Majid explained. It takes about ten days to make a batch. "We have a whole team. Every person has their role. It's like an orchestra."
This orchestra makes good music. The flavor is far more developed than any other couscous I've tried. The texture is not grainy or mealy but chewy and firm.
Packed in glass jars to protect the pasta. The aroma is grassy and earthy from the addition of olive oil to the couscous. You may not expect the couscous to have that aroma, but it's entirely appropriate and is a sign you're about to taste something good.
