Christopher Nolan Says Hes Serious About Possibly Directing a Bond Film in the Future
Oh come on...didn't the snow dream sequence of Inception already scratch that itch?
The producers would be absolutely crazy not to give it to Nolan. It would be the highest grossing Bond film just for having his name attached to it. I also don't see a need to reboot anything. Most of the old Bond films were stand-alone. They can just treat his movie as it's own movie without worrying about continuity.
Nolan is the one "name" director I would let make a Bond movie (well, maybe Michael Mann or Ridley Scott too). It gets ridiculous when bored entertainment writers start throwing out directors. Quentin Tarantino makes great movies, but he makes Quentin Tarantino movies. Very, very Quentin Tarantino movies. Then we have the fact that both times an arty director was hired (The World Is Not Enough and Quantum Of Solace), we have been gifted with terrible action sequences. Nolan can make amazing action sequences and an amazing dramatic movie.
Tell him he can make a Bond movie if he agrees to make four more Batman movies.

Optimism Among Wealthy Americans Is Down, Economy Worries Are Up
After two consecutive months of improvement, optimism among America's wealthiest has dipped due to continued concerns about the economy and the job market.
Forty-five percent of those who live in households making $100,000 or more a year are optimistic about the economy, down 5 percentage points from March. And while the current optimism level is still higher than during the last half of 2011, a significant number of wealthy Americans think the United States is heading in the wrong direction economically – and won't recover for another two years.
Despite the National Bureau of Economic Research indicating that the recession officially ended in June 2009, 39 percent think the downturn won't end until 2014 or later (up 6 percentage points from March). Another 15 percent say the recession won't end — ever.
The results come from the April 2012 Mendelsohn Affluent Barometer, first revealed to CNBC. The Barometer studies the lifestyles, spending patterns and media habits of today's affluent Americans.
Fifty percent say the economy is still their biggest concern (up 6 percentage points from March). Specifically, 69 percent of affluents (up 3 percentage points from March) still say that a decrease in the unemployment rate is the most important change that would make them more optimistic about the economy. More than 40 percent indicate stability on Wall Street would also contribute to more optimism (up 11 percentage points from March).
Among all affluents, optimism about their own prospects has also dropped. Forty-nine percent believe they personally will be better off 12 months from now, down four percentage points from March.
The more you make, however, the more optimistic you are. Two-thirds of adults living in households with incomes of $250,000 or more think the future looks brighter — and that's up 6 percentage points from the previous Barometer.
There are other differences between the two income groups: households making $100,000 or more still prefer gold as the best investment right now, while those in households of $250,000 or more like real estate more.
Affluents were also surveyed about their media device ownership and usage by Mendelsohn. The most popular digital gadgets were, unsurprisingly, TVs and cameras. Nearly two-thirds of wealthy Americans surveyed own a flat-panel color TV, and 63 percent own a digital camera. Fifty-six percent of all affluents own a digital music player and 55 percent of all affluents own a smartphone.
Media Devices Owned by Affluents
MEDIA DEVICES | Percent who own |
Flat-panel Color TV | 65% |
Digital Camera | 63% |
Digital Music Player | 56% |
Smartphone | 55% |
Video game system | 40% |
Only 25 percent currently own a tablet. But 14 percent of non-tablet owners say they intend to purchase one within the next 12 months, the largest intent-to-purchase percentage of all devices.
The wealthy are passionate about their smartphones. Of those that own a smartphone, 94 percent use it daily — and it's the gadget that most affluents say they cannot live without.
Media Device Usage by Affluents
MEDIA DEVICES | Percent of owners who use daily |
Smartphones | 94% |
Flat-panel Color TV | 91% |
Satellite Radio Receiver | 70% |
Internet Connectable TV | 68% |
Tablet | 68% |

I saw this axle in person and it was pretty nice for the year. Personally, I think the pictures don't do it justice. It wasn't perfect obviously but it seemed like a nice all around jeep. Andy was a nice guy to deal with too , I bought a pair of Waggy axles from him a few weeks ago. Thanks again Andy they are about half way torn down right now.

I love this foundation. It helped me to go to the manufacturer's website to see the color chart. Once I picked the correct color, I ordered it from Vitacost at a big savings.

Geat price & product!
After reading the reviews, and trying other brands I decided to try this. I love it! This color is a bit "orangey" but works just fine during the spring/summer when I have a bit of a tan. I had to go to Honeybee's website to get a list of the colors though, so here they are, hope this helps!
Geisha - pale, cool for very light skin
Supernatural - neutral light shade
Luminous - medium neutral with a hint of warmth
Malibu - medium shade great for olive or Mediterranean skin tones
Montego - warm tan neutral for richer skin tones

Great natural coverage
Chose this product for what it doesn't have, chemicals. Very pleased with coverage, feel and longevity of wear.

color suitable for olive skin
Searching for makeup color info was very frustrating while researching different foundations.I am a 58 year-old of middle eastern descent with olive complexion, dark brown eyes, salt and pepper hair, (mostly salt, lol ) and black eyebrows. The Luminous color blends very well for me. The texture and coverage is very smooth and soft. I am very relieved to have finally found it after searching for several weeks. I hope my input will help others search more quickly.

Direct Access Link/Communication
LL_Moderators & LL_Editorson your Auction descriptions pages, why not consider creating a link or tab (currently you have tabs entitled DISTINATION, PHOTOS, ACCOLADES, PROPERTY, GUEST REVIEWSthese reviews are nice but just staticno interaction capabilities) directly to VIP Blogs on the same properties or to active Threads in the VIP Community regarding the specific property?
The comments in the Blogs and Threads would givea prospectivebidder the opportunity to communicate directly with prior visitors and ask questions. Any way you slice, the copy your editors have produced (and they do an excellent job of writing), is still perceived as advertising or at least solicitous. The VIP Blogs and CommunityThreads are real people (maybe a ringer now and then)expressing their views and opinions and actual experiences andmost importantly, not compensated by the LuxuryLink.
TripAdvisor instituted the ability for anyone reading a review to write directly to the Reviewer, with questions or comments. We have written to and received detailed responses from several of the individuals. Their information was invaluable and not readily available in tour books or other sources.
Some thing of this nature would enable interested parties to cutto the chase and get answers that might increase their willingness to make a buying decision. This is a page out of "Marketing-101" and should benefit LL and potential buyers.
Any one have any thoughts on this subject?

Dear Omegaet:
We like this idea a lot and are already in development to try and make this work.
As you know, we highly value suggestions from our Community - especially from our VIP contributors.
We will keep you posted on the progress.

OK, I'm totally confused. What are the two of you talking about? I really can't follow this one at all. Anyone understand? Thank you.
Re: LL_Moderators & LL_Editors¦on your Auction descriptio...
Hi O,
I too noticed that sometimes there are review comments on the auction pages for some properties, but I have never found one by community members that I could tell. How would you handle getting in touch with these people? I know on TripAdvisor they give their e-mail address. It's fine if someone wanted more detailed information on a property we have visited, if they follow the the channels of this forum. And I think we have this capability now within the forum. However, I am not sure I want my e-mail address on the net for anybody to contact me. I would be concerned about security on this matter.
Re: LL_Moderators & LL_Editors¦on your Auction descriptio...
LL_Travelfan....security would undoubtedly be a component, if and when LL decides to add the feature. Additionally, LL would likely make it "optional" if a member wanted to participate. All of the email communications I have had with TripAdvisor membersinitially wentthrough their intermediary contact system. Our member name on TripAdvisor does not devulge our email address.

Re: LL_Moderators & LL_Editors¦on your Auction descriptio...
I just received a reply from a trip advisor reviewer--they had purchased LL pgk I am interested in and just had a few q's for them. It was quite inofrmative.
I emailed them thru TA and got request to ck there for the reply. I am surprised that more LL contributors don't thoroughly review trips they've taken. "We had a great time at blank blank hotel" is not my idea of a review. Maybe some people just don't want to share? I may be verbose, but I hope that people actually get information about a property. (Please, if I'm just too too very very wordy--say so--NOT!Just kiddding--that's what private messages are for!)
The "interactive" aspect of TA communications is beneficial and I hope to see somehting simila here if it's easily do-able! I have always considered this forum to be informative, but the activity is limited by only community members themselves.
On a related side note--I was just perusing the boards, and I think having category boards PLUS destination boards (other than cruise category) is a waste--comment/questions in "beach" or "country" categories, etc besides destination boards means unnecssary searching and lacks conhesion. Just my 2 cents..."wherever you go, there you are"
Re: LL_Moderators & LL_Editors¦on your Auction descriptio...
I think this is a great idea. Definitely don't want to post email addresses! I see this an an "opt in" feature. If you see a property listed that you've visited, you could add a comment and opt to receive messages from someone considering that property. Why couldn't we use the Private Message feature for these communication?
I agree with Kyshel - the category boards may have sounded like a good idea, but in practice are not working. The destination section is not widely used either, so I think the whole organization of topics needs a little rethinking. My previous suggestion was to add a date of the last post next to each board name, so you can quickly see where recent posts have been added.

I would have to say I agree with both of your posts it would mean a lot of time saved navigating through all the categories
Re: LL_Moderators & LL_Editors¦on your Auction descriptio...
Editor, I am guilty of needless"banter" in some of my postings from time to time. Shame on me! I guess this is part of what is allowed and perhaps encouragedinour community.
However, I very muchfavor an option to directly communicate, both initiating as well as receiving, with individuals wishing to discuss a special topic. I use the controlled email option on TA frequently and I am certain luxury link can institute a similar secure option.
Obviously, there are many visitors to the main luxury link web site, who may have questions or possess information they are willing to share, but for whatever reason have not joined this community.t-2-f

In part, we have maintained a nearly month-long silence out of respect.
The majority of what we bring to the table in the hockey community is light-hearted and optimistic, and we don't know how to deal with tragedy publicly--in fact, much of what follows in the wake of tragedy should almost always be kept private, we believe. Grieving is private and that should be respected. Terrible things have happened to the hockey community this summer. You know this. We don't break news here.
These are all guys we've made fun of, joked about, poked and prodded. We still wish their families our condolences. They should still be here, but they aren't.
Today, the KHL lost an entire hockey team, more or less, in a completely ridiculous and terrible plane crash. All relevant news can now be found at Dmitry Chesnokov's Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/dchesnokov. Later, who knows. Google. Conflicting reports. Lots of people are dead.
Right now, doctors are updating on Sid's head.
But we'll deal with it privately right now.
Don't talk so much. Stop and think.
Go Hockey, Go Pens.

A newly-announced group made up of local religious leaders is speaking out against the new federal health care law requirement, the "HHS Mandate," that employers, including Catholic hospitals and parochial schools, include coverage without co-pays for birth control and abortion-inducing medication in their health care plans, organizers say. The Coalition for Religious Liberty in northwest Indiana was represented by clergy from several Roman Catholic and Protestant churches in their announcement Wednesday. "Stand Up for Religious Freedom" rallies are planned around the country this Saturday, including locally, outside the Lake County Government Complex in Crown Point and Sacred Heart Church in LaPorte.

Introduced to the RAAF in June 1973, the F-111 remained in service for 37 years and was the fastest and longest ranging combat aircraft in the Asia Pacific region. This 1:72 scale diecast replica accurately recreates an F-111C from 1 Squadron, RAAF (A8-148). Comes boxed and fully painted, with minimal assembly required. Measures approximately 30 cm long, 17 cm wide. Note: this collector's replica is not intended as a toy - not suitable for children under 14 years.

Migration, sexual behavior, and the risk of HIV in Kenya (PDF)
Brockerhoff,Martin; Biddlecom,Ann E.
International Migration Review 33(4): 833-856
Publication date: 1999
The association of migration with AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa is well documented, yet the social and behavioral mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. Using data from the 1993 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, this article examines whether migrants are more likely than nonmigrants to have multiple recent sexual partners and not use condoms with those partners. Results indicate that migration is a critical factor in high-risk sexual behavior and that its importance varies by gender and by the direction of movement. Independent of marital and cohabitation status, social milieu, awareness of AIDS, and other crucial influences on sexual behavior, male migrants between urban areas and female migrants within rural areas are much more likely than nonmigrant counterparts to engage in sexual practices conducive to HIV infection. In rural areas, migrants from urban places are more likely than nonmigrants to practice high-risk sex. Given the predominance of men in urban migration and the large volume of circulatory movement between urban and rural areas, these results have serious implications for HIV transmission throughout Kenya.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Stanley is being sent to a place out in the middle of nowhere, and he has to dig holes. He meets a guy named Sam and becomes friends with him. They both dig holes together and then end up running away in the end. They run away and find a source of water that is running and then they find a snake and one of them gets bit. I truely didn't really like this book but it was pretty good. The whole book was about them digging holes, and eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and finding things in the holes. Which for me was really boring when there just digging holes all day. Louis Sachar Realistic Fantasy HOLES Yearling 240 pages Summary: There is this boy, his name is Stanley Yelnats. A pair of shoes fell in his head an the police ran after him because he thought Stanley stole the shoes. Stanley was going to take the shoes home because his dad is trying to invent a machine that takes the stink out of shoes. Stanley and his family have to go to court. The judge decides to send Stanley to camp green lake which is like a detention center for troubled boys when they do something that's bad. Tags or subject headings: Camp Green lake is where you go and dig holes to learn a lesson. The theme of this book is to teach. Response to the book: I didn't like this book because it shows how people take advantage of other people and I don't think that is right, I think that you should treat everybody equally. I don't think it was necessary for Stanley to be put in this place because of shoes. I also don't think it was necessary for the boys to dig holes all the time, they dug the holes from sunrise to sunset, I personally don't see how that teaches them to not be troubled. [Holes] by [Louis Sachar] is the story about a boy named Stanley Yelnats who is accused of a crime he didn't commit. His father is an inventor who is currently trying to find a way to recycle old sneakers. His mother is a caring, loving, and supporting woman. Stanley was accused of stealing sneakers worth over $5,000. This is because the sneakers once belonged to a famous baseball player. The baseball player had given it to charity but when Stanley had found them, they had fallen from the sky. The judge gave his parents a choice. Either Stanley goes to jail, or he goes to Camp Green Lake. His parents decided to send him to Camp Green Lake. But Camp Green Lake is not any ordinary camp. It's out in the middle of nowhere. All you do is dig holes 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide. But the holes are out on the lake. This is because the lake has dried up. Stanley faces all sorts of problems on the lake such as: annoying counsellors, bullies, and yellow spotted lizards. This book is very interesting. I think it's one of the best books ever. This was a great and easy book. I really enjoyed reading the book about Stanley Yelnats(the 4th) and he finds these pair of shoes and gets court and sent out to dig holes ever day and he meets many friends many there. The story is about him digging holes and trying to escape. I cant wait to read small steps. This was a book I read to my girls after reading its good reviews. I always love it when I start a book and my oldest rolls her eyes, not wanting to read it because "It sounds boring" only to be saying "One more chapter! One more chapter" as we near the book's end. This was such a book. It tells the story of Stanley, a boy sent to a juvenile delinquent camp after he was falsely accused for theft. He blames his 'bad luck' on his great-great-pig-stealing-grandfather, who had supposedly been cursed back in Italy by a fortune teller. In-between the present day story of Stanley is woven historical bits of a story that ends up relating to the current happenings. The delinquents of the camp each have to dig a hole a day – 5 foot deep and 5 feet wide. "To build character," they are told. It soon becomes aware to Stanley that it's not just to build character. They are looking for something. But what? That's a story that interestingly goes all the way back to into the past of Stanley's family, and of the ghost of the town the camp is sitting on. This is a delightful little story with lots of neat little motifs braided throughout the book. With the exception of a couple of "OMG's" the story is a clean one, too. It was a fun read-aloud for the kids. 4 of 5 stars on Goodreads.
Stanley Yelnats is a young man with some teenage problems like being overweight, poor, and social outcast. His father is an inventor and his mother is a loving and supporting woman. He believes that he and his family are cursed and that life offers nothing but a bad luck to them. Interesting fact about his name is that his last name is his first name spelled backward. His family blames his "no good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather" for a family misfortune. Because of the broken promise of the great-great-grandfather, a gypsy lady doomed his family with a bad luck. Numerous happenings led him to conclusion that something needs to be done to get rid of the bad luck. He often finds himself being at the wrong place at the wrong time. After being falsely accused of stealing a pair of snickers from a famous basketball player at an auction for homeless, Stanley picks a Green Lake Detention Camp for Boys to serve a sentence. There is nothing green nor lake like about that juvenile correction facility. The camp is run by The Warden and Mr. Sir. Those two are very brutal people who direct each kid to dig a hole each day under the blazing hot sun. The official purpose of hole digging is to build a character. A hidden purpose is to look for buried and lost treasure of outlaw, Kissing Katy Barlow. I see Stanley growing and changing into a leader throughout the book. He lifts himself and other around him. Teaming up with "Zero" brought many new and surprising events in his life. Together they succeeded in fighting against cruelty of Warden and her team. Many teenagers can relate to Stanley. There is a lot to learn in this book about hard work, loyalty, friendship, persistence, love, hard work and fate. Is contained in

OK Go at Drexel University 5/18
Confetti, rain, parking lot, and college kids. That pretty much sums up the OK Go show that I attended last Saturday. OK Go headlined Drexel University's Spring Jam event. I'm not sure if it was a lack of organization or the weather, but I'd say there was a noticeably large lack of people in attendance. Or maybe there wasn't a huge expectation to begin with. Who knows? What I do know is that an energetic and entertaining set put on for a small yet enthusiastic crowd is a pretty cool experience.

30 Seconds to Mars | Church of Mars 5/13
This past Monday, 30 Seconds to Mars came through Philly for Church of Mars. They previewed scenes from their documentary, Artifact, showed the short film for "Up in the Air," and of course, played a live set consisting of old and new songs. Needless to say, I was a little excited to attend and photograph this event.

Foals at Electric Factory 5/4
The first time I saw these English indie rockers I had no idea who they were. I was there for the openers and didn't really understand all of the excitement, even after the show. My interest was peaked when they released this video. Almost two years later to the day, I found myself in a second chance situation, where I was helpless to have anything less than high standards.

Imagine Dragons + Atlas Genius at Electric Factory 2/18
[After rereading this, it probably doesn't make very much sense. I guess I just prefer Imagine Dragons without all of the extra stuff and just a stage with a piazza full of people.]

Walk the Moon + Pacific Air at the TLA 2/1
Holy crap, has it really been three months since my last post on here?? I'm probably the only one who's noticed or actually cares, but whatever.
Anyway, I ventured out in the painfully freezing weather last Friday to see Walk the Moon at the TLA. The four-piece indie rock band from Ohio has been busy making a name for themselves since I last saw them play with Grouplove. I knew this would be a good show, and the TLA is always fun to shoot at.

Norwegian Arms - Stream/Pre-Order Album, JUMP Philly Article with Additional Photos
Stream and pre-order the debut album, Wolf Like A Stray Dog, from the Philly folk duo, Norwegian Arms, here. I'm only a few songs in as I'm typing this, but I have no doubt that the rest of the album will be just as good. So go take a listen, and pre-order your vinyl, CD, and cassette copies now!

Currently Listening To: Foals, The Rescues, Ellie Goulding
Last week, I posted the latest video for Foals, and haven't been able to stop clicking replay (for the video and both of their albums). I'm not sure why it took me this long to get into this band, but I'm totally sold now.

Foals - "Inhaler" Video
I just want to watch this over and over again. The song, the video... Just so good. Mesmerizing. I can't even form complete and proper sentences to describe this. I saw Foals a year and a half ago at the TLA, and I don't think I really got it then. I mean, they were good, and certainly had the screaming and devoted fans a headliner usually has, but I just didn't get it.

Pretty good
Purchased these with trepidation based on other reviews, however was pleasantly surprised. My limes were full of juice and flavour. They lose a star for a very short shelf lfe as the two I didn't use immediately were on the turn within a couple days of arrival. I'm afraid I've chucked out the packaging so I can't say where the current stock is coming in from.

Disappoining - not enough juice!
Agree with many of the other comments. Very poor quality with hardly any juice. I was hopeful that Ocado branded products were going to be of a better quality and am finding this not always to be the case. Will seriously have to consider renewing my delivery pass.

Nice to know that the Brin Wojcicki Foundation is helping out animals.

Just wondering if the headline writer considered "lady" & "perched" as in "Lady Bald eagle perched in Palo Alto"?
on Nov 19, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Such a magnificent creature! May Sequoia enjoy her new home for many, many years. Thank you to the Brin Wojcicki Foundation for making this possible.
on Nov 20, 2012 at 9:24 am
I wish we could see her on display. I could imagine there might be good reason to not have her out all the time, but the options for seeing her seem really limited and totally undefined.
"Unlike other animals at the Palo Alto Zoo, Sequoia will not be on display for the general public but rather used for educational programs and events."
What does that mean? Available for a fee for private parties?
on Nov 20, 2012 at 9:26 am
Thank you! The best Palo Alto news in years!!

Black Currants
Black currants are dark purple berries. Sweet, sharp, and astringent, they add a liveliness to yogurts, teas, juices, and liqueur.

Recipe by Golf Goddess
"Delicious chocolate chip cookies with a spicy nip."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
I changed this recipe a little and it turned out great, I doubled the vanilla and cinnamon. I added cinnamon chips instead of choc. chips. They were excellent! So chewy! Yum!
i really didn't like the cookies. Did not turn out like the picture (could have been the dough was too warm). I will not make these again.
23 Ratings
Yum! These biscuits turned out great. They are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle and they look good - a nice puffy round shape. The cinnamon adds a unique flavour.
I tried baking these(only my second time dealing with cookies), and they came out just wonderful! They were a bit too soft once done cooking, but they're also very small, so getting them off the tray and onto a cooling tray wasn't hard at all. They hardened a bit once cooled down, but were still soft and chewy, which is a plus. The connamon was a nice touch. Everyone who has tried them has loved them.
This was a great recipe that allowed me to do ten different things at one time because once you had all of the materials it was SOOOOO EASY!!!
I followed the recipe exact only using granulated sugar and Hershey's cinnamon chips. The nuts were optional and I didn't have any so I didn't add them. Dude. These cookies were SO naughty. These were so easy to make, they came together in a flash and what was great about this cookie dough was that it didn't need to be chilled. Huge timesaver for someone who needed a batch of cookies pronto. Also, this was great using pantry items I always have, with a little bendability on the pudding mix and flavored chips used. Try the cinnamon chips in this recipe yourself. Or not. It's pretty dangerous for those watching their figures! ;)
These cookies were delicious - however, one could barely taste the cinnamon! I suggest putting a lot more cinnamon in the mix when making this recipe, if one does not want a simple chocolate chip cookie.
Great cookies- I recommend doubling the cinnamon and adding 1 tbs of nutmeg. I also add 1 1/2 tbs of coffee, they turned out perfectly tasted great too. Crunchy outside "gooey" inside.

Full Cast List For Dancing With the Stars Season 11 Meet the New Dancing With the Stars Cast! by POPSUGAR Entertainment 8/30/10 16 Reactions 5 Shares Print 0 3 2 0 0 Introducing the twelve new contestants of Dancing With the Stars! For its 11th season, ABC has just announced that reality stars like Audrina Patridge and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino will be competing with the likes of Bristol Palin, David Hasselhoff, and Jennifer Grey (cue the Dirty Dancing homage). Keep clicking through for the full cast, and then tell me who you're most excited to watch. Photo copyright 2010 ABC, Inc. Audrina Patridge What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Now that The Hills is over, Audrina should have plenty of time for those long rehearsals. And something tells me she won't have an issue with the skimpy outfits. Source: WireImage 1 / 12 Brandy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Brandy was a rising star in her heyday, but will her pop star days work to her advantage? Source: WireImage 2 / 12 Bristol Palin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The young mom just got out of a messy public relationship with Levi Johnston, so here's hoping her dance partnership won't be as bad. Most obvious question: Will Sarah be in the audience? Source: WireImage 3 / 12 David Hasselhoff What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I haven't seen Hasselhoff move as much as he's going to need to since he ran down a beach in red shorts for the Baywatch intro. He's used to being a judge on America's Got Talent, so I'm kind of hoping the DWTS judges do hassle the Hoff, just to give him a taste of the other side. Source: WireImage 4 / 12 Jennifer Grey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dirty Dancing lives! Jennifer Grey has been out of the spotlight since the 80s but we all know she's got moves. The real question is whether or not she can still do those lifts. Source: WireImage 6 / 12 Kurt Warner What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kurt Warner may be the first quarterback to compete, but he's hardly the first football playing contestant. He's been named MVP and Super Bowl Winner, but will he be crowned king this time? Source: WireImage 6 / 12 Kyle Massey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You may recognize Disney kid Kyle Massey from his days on That's So Raven, but I have a feeling most viewers will be scratching their heads when they see him. Hope he's ready to unleash some charm along with dance moves. Source: WireImage 7 / 12 Michael Bolton What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bolton has no problem belting out sexy love ballads, but this time, he'll have to generate some hot chemistry with his dance partner. You just know that they're going to incorporate "When a Man Loves a Woman" into at least one of his routines. Source: WireImage 8 / 12 Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If fist-pumping isn't integrated into The Situation's ballroom routines, then DWTS producers will have failed. At least the costume designers will save money on spandex shirts. Source: WireImage 9 / 12 Rick Fox What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fox's good looks are sure to earn him the female vote, but the jury is still out on his dance skills. Perhaps his basketball days will keep him light on his feet for the quick step. Source: WireImage 11 / 12 Margaret Cho What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The comedienne is sure to quip about the costumes, her partner, her fellow contestants . . . but will she use any of that energy to turn herself into a champion on the dance floor? Source: WireImage 11 / 12 Florence Henderson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If the name doesn't sound familiar perhaps you've met her alter ego: Carol Brady. At 76 her age should win her some points, but I'm preemptively concerned that she might break a hip.

Why JIEDDO is not only about Afghanistan
The 15 people who don't want to kick the can down the road on debt, SecDef Watch: what's not completely crazy, and more.
To Lt. Gen. Mike Barbero, JIEDDO ¹Afghanistan. With budgetary knives out everywhere, many of the war-time programs across the Pentagon run the risk of being tucked away into bureaucratic obscurity or closed down altogether. That is, if they don't reinvent themselves first. That's what the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, which occupies a suite of offices in Crystal City, and has spent $18 billion since 2006, is attempting to do today. Barbero, the three-star Army general who today leads JIEDDO, the end of the war in Afghanistan in the next year or two does not mean the capability JIEDDO provides should go away. The future, he says, is dangerous - and global. Some believe JIEDDO is a hammer looking for a nail, and want to see it folded into a permanent, albeit separate set of capabilities peppered across the Defense Department. But Barbero contends JIEDDO is still a much needed capability because IEDs and the threat the networks who build them pose aren't going away. The U.S., he says, must retain the ability to counter the threats from IEDs. And JIEDDO, started in 2006 to stop the number one killer of troops in both war zones, is the organization for the job.
"It's about a global challenge," Barbero told Situation Report in a recent interview.
The IED threat is growing stronger as groups converge operations. In Africa, for example, the convergence of groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria and Mali, al-Shabab in Somalia and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, in Northern Africa, at least in terms of the operations in which they work together, represents a strengthening of the IED threat, Barbero says. The mounting evidence that groups such as these communicate with each other to plan operations has resulted in a number of high-profile attacks from Nigeria to Algeria to Somalia and Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula.
"We see the convergence of these networks in Africa," he said, "coordinating on sharing [information], but also setting up training facilities and starting to work in direct coordination between them. And that is a pattern." Barbero said he sees a similar trend on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. "I think it is a trend that is going to continue." Continued below.
By the way, a new Global Terrorism Index, released yesterday, shows the top 10 countries affected by terrorism: Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Thailand, Russia, Philippines. FP's Passport blog's Josh Keating on the report: "The good news in the study is that the number of attacks seems to have leveled out since peaking in 2007. The bad news is that there were still more than four times more attacks in 2011 than in the first full year of the war on terrorism." http://bit.ly/Viy5G8
Amanda Dory will talk about restoring democracy to Northern Mali this morning. Dory, the Pentagon's deputy assistant secretary for Africa, will speak before Senate Foreign Relations' subcomm on African affairs at 9:00 to talk about the latest developments in Mali and how to "reclaim the north." We're told she'll be echoing much of what Gen. Carter Ham, head of U.S. Africa Command, said at an event Monday (in which the moderator was said to have big-footed the Q&A). The U.N. today, meanwhile, considered a mission for African forces in Mali early next year. http://1.usa.gov/WGebWy
Welcome to Wednesday's edition of Situation Report, where we always feel as if we have big shoes to fill. Follow me @glubold. Or hit me anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com. And sign up for Situation Report here: http://bit.ly/NCN9uN or just send me an e-mail and I'll put you on the list.
"Do I have to change my business cards now because we're no longer using the term "strategic communications"? Asked a strategic communications official in a voicemail after yesterday's piece on how the Pentagon is ending use of the term "strategic communications."
SecDef Watch. A big decision from President Obama on a slew of jobs is coming, though water-cooler wisdom suggests it won't be this week, but next. Of course, we've been wrong before. For the Pentagon's number one job, most short lists now include Chuck Hagel, who has appeal as a no-nonsense Republican, but for whom the Pentagon learning curve would be rather steep. Sen. John Kerry is still in the mix as well, but his sights are on SecState, and Obama said this week he had not made a decision on that job as of yet. Ash Carter, now the Pentagon's number two, is still thought to really want the job, but may not get it. And Michele Flournoy, a favorite among some, is still seen by many others as not-yet-ready-for-primetime. But a strong surrogate for Obama during the campaign, she'll likely land somewhere, perhaps south of the Pentagon's top job.
The E-Ring's Kevin Baron writes: "Who is Chuck Hagel, again?" A quick primer. http://bit.ly/OX1zJd
This is not a completely crazy idea: Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is still in play.
In the dark. People inside the Pentagon seem to be as much in the dark about who will replace Panetta as their civilian overseers across the river. "We're wondering all that ourselves," said one. "We're not being consulted on this, believe it or not," the person half-joked.
The WSJ reports that Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough is a candidate for WH chief of staff. Why is this important? It may suggest a focus on foreign policy in Obama's second term, despite his pledge to do "nation-building at home." The WSJ's Peter Nicholas and Colleen McCain Nelson write: "Recent presidents have spent second terms pursuing foreign-policy breakthroughs. President Bill Clinton sought peace agreements in the Middle East. President Ronald Reagan pursued arms-reduction agreements with the Soviet Union in international summits aimed at smoothing superpower relations." http://bit.ly/UFvSId
Part of Panetta's speech at Walter Reed yesterday seemed to be about Assistant Press Secretary Carl Woog. In a speech about praising leaders at Walter Reed for the work they do, Panetta touched on a problem he sees in society -- people unable to reach out and talk to each other. "Now, this -- in many ways, it's a changing society. This is my theory and my theory alone, but, you know, part of the problem of working off BlackBerrys and working off computers is that you're focused on that element and you don't reach out as much to talk to one another, and to just communicate with one another. And it's when you do that, when you talk to one another, that you understand what the problems are."
At that moment, Woog was seen thumbing out answers to queries on his own BlackBerry. http://1.usa.gov/SFUEXO
What do Adm. Mike Mullen, Bob Gates, Madeleine Albright, Jim Baker, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, Samuel Berger, Frank Carlucci, Sam Nunn, Ike Skelton, Paul Volcker, John Warner, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, and Paul O'Neill all have in common? They all signed a letter, published in a full-page ad in the WSJ this morning titled, "Addressing our debt is a national security imperative." The message from the Coalition for Fiscal and National Security is essentially that: the nation's debt must be stabilized if the U.S. is to maintain global leadership and anything short of that goal is "insufficient." The ad includes this line: "Our leaders should use the consensus against going over the fiscal cliff as an opportunity to agree now on a framework for significant fiscal reform in 2013. Another 'kicking of the can' -- the lowest common denominator of what both parties can currently accept, without any structural reforms that truly address the nation's problems -- is not acceptable."

JIEDDO, continued. Barbero likes a PowerPoint slide that shows the IED trends for October and the work JIEDDO is doing for each of the combatant commands. Excepting Afghanistan or Iraq, a chart on the page shows that Southern Command actually topped all the other commands in October in terms of the number of IED incidents -- with 24 detonations, 114 finds, and 22 caches. Central Command comes in second, with 105 detonations, 46 finds, and six caches found in October (again, not including IED events in Afghanistan or Iraq). Pacific Command and Africa Command come in third and fourth. More than 500 IED events occur outside Iraq and Afghanistan monthly, according to JIEDDO - a data point that he uses to help make his case for JIEDDO's future. He'll testify this month on Capitol Hill.
Coming tomorrow: Why JIEDDO says "whole-of-government" shouldn't make people roll their eyes, and the fight to use dye in Pakistan to prevent homemade explosives material from crossing the border into Afghanistan.
