War resisters are not the same as Obamacare resisters: letter to the editor
Other Voices
August 20, 2013, 2:43PM
I write as a war resister who, more than 40 years ago, after many months of soul searching and serious effort while studying at Case, persuaded an officially constituted United States Draft Board in Steubenville to officially classify me "Conscientious Objector." In the retrospect afforded by those four decades, I have come to see that episode as having engaged me...

What an interesting story about 57,000 Chinese students getting educated and paid for by their government in our universities. Our institutions are more than eager to recruit more of them actively in China. It reminds me of early 1950 when, as a legal immigrant, I was drafted to fight communism in North Korea.

Over the years, Americans have chosen to serve for many reasons -- during the Revolutionary War, to create a nation; in World War II, to save humanity from destruction; at various times, to help pay for college. Still, no matter the motivation, once our men and women joined up, they've given their all for our country.

Albany Herald
DAWSON -- Weekend drivers gave Dawson police a run for their money Saturday evening as two drivers attempted to flee traffic stops.
At 9:22 p.m. officers from the Dawson Police Department attempted to initiate a traffic stop of Derick Bridges of Dawson, who had failed to stop at a stop sign on Sixth Avenue.
According to police reports, Bridges continued to drive his gold Chevrolet Monte Carlo through several stop signs and in different directions in an attempt to evade the cruisers.
Officers said that Bridges finally stopped at a residence on Summitt Drive, where he exited the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area.
Police pursued Bridges through the wooded area, where he ignored their orders to stop.
Eventually officers were able to corner Bridges, who was asked by police to get down on the ground. Police said that Bridges ignored the officers and made an aggressive move toward one of the officers.
After Bridges refused to comply with the officers' orders, he was sprayed in the face with pepper spray. Police said they were then able to restrain and arrest him.
Bridges was charged with having an open container of alcohol while operating a vehicle, fleeing or attempting to elude police officers, reckless driving, failure to stop at a stop sign, habitual violator and obstruction.
At 12:52 a.m. Sunday, Dawson police were again led on a chase.
According to police reports, officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a silver Honda Accord that was weaving on Pecan Street in Dawson.
After the driver refused to yield to officers, the police followed the vehicle until the driver abandoned the car on Lee Street and fled on foot.
Officers said they pursued the subject into a wooded area, where they lost visual contact. He is described as a black male who was wearing a white tank top, yellow gym shorts and white shoes.
The passenger and owner of the vehicle, who was identified as Deitra Huff of Albany, was taken into custody and questioned.

My Dear Cecilia, I wrote you yesterday rather hastily and testily to reply to your note - but I should have remembered that you was in Mansfield rather lonely where bad spirits are natural and where having none of the great troubles in life you might give way to fancied troubles. When I recall the real misery all around us - when poverty - misfortune - sickness - Death and [crossed out] or [written above line] bad temper darken so many households I feel that it is very unthank- ful for us to complain about our lot. We are a- bundant in property - in good health. I have been remarkably fortunate in business & politics and you have the hearty good will of all in social life with many other blessings it seems ludicrous for you to be troubled because Mrs. Grant has not been courteous enough - and for me to worry because Grant does not yield always to my desires. In every respect you are the equal of Mrs. Grant if not her superior - while in point of moral I know well

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Mandarin Oriental Barcelona
Passeig de Gràcia, 38-40, Barcelona, Spain
Neighborhood: L'Eixample
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Some gleaming, towering modernist glass monolith just wouldn't play in lovely, historic Barcelona. That's why the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona makes its home where it does, in a classic bank building that's the better part of a century old. The stately facade blends well with its tony Eixample surroundings, on the Passeig de Gràcia — and it's not until you're inside that you enter another world entirely.
The central atrium, which you cross on a very dramatic walkway, is something out of the original Star Wars, a deep white void lined with interior windows. The lobby and restaurant are lined with patterned screens that suggest a 22nd-century version of traditional Islamic architecture. The spa is pure moody futurism, a darker sort of sci-fi, more Ridley Scott than George Lucas. And on the rooftop you're brought back to the present, on a pool deck with a panoramic view of the surrounding Barcelona skyline.
After all that, the rooms would have to be very impressive indeed if they're going to compete. They are and they do. Hardwoods and muted masculine tones feel distinctly European — the only vestige of Asian influence, usually a Mandarin standard, is the general simplicity of the clean-lined open-plan spaces. And you'll sleep the sleep of the just in these expertly soundproofed rooms — they're so quiet you'll wonder if that's the real Barcelona out there or just a silent replica.

Comments about Memory Foam Chair Cushion:
was too small for my wing chairs. kept to use on something else.
Works well
By Dog lover
from Sevierville, TN
I use antique wooden chairs at our dining table and wanted something soft to sit on when we eat. The fit is a bit large for the chairs and I had a problem figuring out how to use the ties properly, but when I did figure it out, it works fine. Colorwise, I think my choice worked out well as I chose a brown that would blend with the wood than "make a statement" color. So it works perfectly for us. It was a great price for 2 pillows.

Editor's note: This submission is completely different from our usual fare... a diabetes poem to be taken with a grain of salt.
Hello Grandma, Hello Gramp,
here I am at Diabetes Camp.
I am having lots of fun,
and after lunch today, I tested 91!
We've been eating healthy meals,
I wore blisters on both heels.
Guess that shows that Mom was right.
Those new sneakers I bought were way too tight!
I have not forgot my hourly check.
Meter on a lanyard 'round my neck.
You remember Jeffrey Cooper?
Dropped his brand-new One Touch mini
down the pooper!
I've got a new job this year,
I'm in charge of soccer gear.
All the balls and both the nets,
plus I got the key to both toilets!
Last night we had beans and weenies.
Some of the counselors are real meanies.
Someone passed bad gas all night,
and those nasties kept the windows shut tight!
Today we all got to go swimming,
Except for Jeffrey, he was skimming.
You remember little Billy Blake?
They're still searching for his pump, out in the lake!
They've got this new stuff, called Byetta,
For the type 2's, guess it's pretty great-ah.
I don't understand, but guess they claim it
is somehow made from Gila monster spit!
Tomorrow we get to go hiking,
Then on Thursday, MX biking.
You remember Bobby Bowes?
Sure hope he don't pass out--
he's been having lots of lows!
Conrad Craber lives in Fairview, Oregon. He writes that he's a type 2, retired since 2002. "I sit at home and write a few poems each day. The pay is lousy, but the hours are good and I get to snack at my desk off and on all day--what's wrong with that? Diet Pepsi and Enterex cans line my windowsill, and Extend Bar and Crisps bags fill my wastebasket. Life is good if one determines to live it. So there, enjoy my poem and have a good day."

There's no specific test that can diagnose Tourette syndrome. Instead, doctors must rely on the history of symptoms to diagnose the disorder.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) determines the criteria for a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. Published by the American Psychiatric Association, the DSM is used by mental health professionals to diagnose certain conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
The criteria to diagnose Tourette syndrome include these:
Diagnosis of Tourette syndrome may be delayed because families and even doctors are sometimes unfamiliar with the symptoms, or the symptoms may mimic other problems. Eye blinking may be initially associated with vision problems, for instance, while sniffling may be attributed to allergies.
Because other serious health conditions can cause motor or vocal tics, your doctor may suggest having tests to rule out other causes. These tests include blood tests or neuroimaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

What is the best name you've ever seen for an audio company and why?
I always liked Audio Alchemy. Their products were true to their name! As if doing some sort of magic or unprecedented scientific processing to the music! If you ever had the chance to hear one of their units, you know what I mean! (I've got two of 'em!) I thought their name was very appropriate!
TECHNICS The name tells by itself. Always released revolutionary products at very reasonable prices (I still remember the days I purchased components one-by-one and built my first Hi-Fi in years when I was student). Previously I was begging the damn thing to stop running (as a reason for buying new components). Now I just watch my daughter playing with my first Hi-Fi 365 days/year (which never failed by the way). I still use a DVD-A10 as main digital source in my listening room. Not so many reliable&cheap products exist in this world. It is a pitty that no more Hi-Fi components are released by this brand name.
I like a company that puts the owners'/founders' name on the faceplate. I feel that with their name on it, they are putting themselves out there, so it ought to be a good product and one that they will stand behind. I always liked Conrad-Johnson. I think the two surnames names in lower case are a testament to their humbleness, as well.
Lavardin: French cachet (but not so French as to be unpronounceable by the rest of us), venerable and a bit mysterious by being named for a small town and ancient castle, and somehow building upon the ethos of their refined looking and sounding products. The anti-corporateness of Harbeth and Spendor are nice too, as are most of the many that reference the names of the principals or of those who inspired them.

New Kent High School sophomore linebacker Jacob Vick died Tuesday after collapsing on the practice field.
Deputy Chief Joe Maclaughlin of the New Kent Sheriff's Office confirmed Vick's death. He also says at this time, his office is not involved in any criminal investigation. Officers are at the high school to help if the need arises, and counselors are on sight to assist students.
Vick had recently sat out a game after suffering a concussion, even though he had been medically cleared to play in the game. He was practicing Tuesday evening and the team had moved onto team drills when Vick collapsed. He was flown to a Richmond hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy Wednesday to determine the cause of death.
Friends and family have been invited to Corinth Baptist Church on New Kent Highway from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for prayer.

This vacation shows you all of Portugal without any rush, thanks to well-planned, two-night stopovers in Lisbon, Oporto, and the Algarve. Start and end in Lisbon and see the interior and almost the entire coastline of Portugal. Guided sightseeing in Lisbon, Oporto, and Evora includes Jeronimos Monastery, the Stock Exchange with the Arabian Hall, Ossuary Chapel, and many other must-see sights. Also included are visits to Obidos, Fatima, the famed Sandeman & Co wine cellar for lunch and a Port wine tasting, the Roman ruins of Conimbriga, Villa Real, and Belmonte—birthplace of Pedro Alvares Cabral, discoverer of Brazil. Here, you will visit the Jewish Museum and attend a traditional olive oil tasting. In the Algarve, an excursion to the Promontory of Sagres near Cape Vincent is included. Back in Lisbon, a special farewell dinner at the Tagus River awaits you.

Welcome to Lisbon! At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a welcome dinner at your hotel. (Dinner)
Lisbon was the center of Europe's longest-lived overseas empire. Portugal's imperial ambitions date back to Prince Henry the Navigator's 15th-century discoveries in West Africa. Morning sightseeing with a Local Guide features a drive through the Baixa quarter's main squares. Then, enjoy a walk through the cobblestone alleys of quaint ALFAMA, the popular quarter of the seamen and Fado singers.

Tour the excavations, admire the well-preserved mosaics, and visit the excellent MUSEUM. Continue to Coimbra, strategically situated on a hill overlooking the Mondego River. After a visit to the gilded baroque LIBRARY of its 700-year-old university, drive by ancient Buçaco Forest on your way to Oporto, Portugal's second-largest city. Tonight, why not join an optional dinner at one of Oporto's fine restaurants? (Breakfast)
Sightseeing with a Local Guide includes a panoramic drive to the mouth of the Douro River, the soaring cathedral, the richly decorated CHURCH OF SAO FRANCISCO, and the STOCK EXCHANGE with its contemporary ARABIAN HALL inspired by Granada's Alhambra. Next, visit the famous Sandeman & Co. PORT WINE CELLAR to taste the Port wine produced from grapes of the Douro Valley, and enjoy lunch. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Next is Vila Real, former capital of Portugal's northeastern region of Trás-os-Montes. Just outside the town, visit the splendid park and manor of PALACIO DE MATEUS, whose picture graces the label of the excellent Mateus rosé wine. From here, a scenic road through the Port wine vineyards leads to Viseu, where a special dinner with local specialties and wine at a local restaurant awaits you. (Breakfast, Dinner)
This morning, stop in Belmonte, today a symbol of Jewish awakening, for a visit of the JEWISH MUSEUM. Also enjoy an OLIVE OIL TASTING, for which the area is famous. Afternoon break in Castelo de Vide, with time to walk through the Jewish quarter with its white-washed houses and to take pictures of the 14th-century castle. Continue to Evora, the cultural center of southern Portugal and a former royal residence, for your overnight stay. (Breakfast, Dinner)
A massive wall surrounds Evora's medieval center, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Follow your Local Guide on a walking tour through its narrow alleys to the Roman Temple, the early gothic CATHEDRAL, Portas de Moura fountain, and SAO FRANCISCO CHURCH. Visit the OSSUARY CHAPEL, whose walls are covered with thousands of human bones and skulls. Next, proceed across the arid Alentejo plain to the Algarve, Portugal's most popular vacation area. Tonight, why not try one of the seafood restaurants for which the Algarve is famous? (Breakfast)
Highlight today is a visit to the wind-swept PROMONTORY OF SAGRES, where Henry the Navigator lived and planned his overseas expansion. Only a few miles away is Cape St. Vincent, the southwestern corner of continental Europe, a dramatic cliff defying the waves of an ever-angry Atlantic Ocean. Time in pretty Lagos before returning to your hotel. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Take the scenic route over the Serra da Arrábida and savor sweeping views of the Tróia Peninsula. Catch glimpses of the castle at Sesimbra, which recall fierce medieval battles between Christians and Moors. After crossing the Bridge of April 25th, you're back in Lisbon.

My goodness, what a good recipe. My wife does not normally like my cooking, but she said I knocked this out of the park. Instead of 3 mushrooms, I added shitakes, and for the other 2 I substituted bamboo shoots and fresh bean sprouts. At the end, chopped shrimp sealed the deal.
Wonderful soup!!

Wow! Where has this soup been all my life? This is so yummy. There were three of us and we ate the whole thing. The broth is rich and hearty and so are the ingredients. Thanks, for such a great keeper. I didn't have to add one single thing to this soup. No more soy, no salt or pepper...nothing. Try it!

30 Years Later We Remember Coach
Paul Bryant
Kirk McNair
Posted Jan 26, 2013
Anyone old enough to have been considered an Alabama football fan on January 26, 1983, remembers where he or she was when the news came. It has been 30 years since Paul William Bryant died, and yet the influence of the legendary coach continues.
For the final few years of his life it became so much about the incredible numbers of Coach Paul Bryant, but it was about so much more than that. His legend began when he was a 13-year-old schoolboy who wrestled a bear, earning a nickname that fit him so well that even if he had not ventured into town – Fordyce, Ark. – from the Morrow Bottom community, and taken up the challenge at the Lyric Theatre, he might still have been called "Bear."
Bryant's ticket to fame and fortune was being recruited to play football for The University of
. Although he was "the other end" to the famed Don Hutson on the field, Bryant was an excellent player on teams (1933-35) on teams that went 23-3, including a 10-0 record and Rose Bowl victory in the 1934 season.
It was, of course, as a coach – "Super Coach" as a cover story in Time Magazine proclaimed – that he made his greatest mark. And it was as coach at his alma mater for a quarter of a century that his name was indelibly scripted in college football history.
He had a one-year fling as a head coach at
, before he quit rather than let the college president interfere in his job. He went to
, and his eight-year run there was best ever for the Wildcats. It may be he left because Kentucky was not big enough for both Bryant and basketball coach Adolph Rupp. He left the Bluegrass State for
Texas A&M
, where his brutal pre-season football camp at Junction, Texas, laid the groundwork for unprecedented football success by the Aggies. And it added to the Bryant legend.
The late Billy Neighbors, who was a Crimson Tide star and member of Bryant's first recruiting class, said years later that he didn't think the coach knew who Neighbors was when Neighbors signed. "And I didn't know anything about him, either," Neighbors said, "except that he had tried to kill his players at Texas A&M."
Bryant had done very well in his 13 years as a head coach. So well that new Alabama President Dr. Frank Rose went after Bryant to rescue Crimson Tide football, which had won only four games in three years.
The effort was successful beyond expectations. In the 25-year Bryant era, 1958-82, Bama would win 13 Southeastern Conference championships and six national titles. His teams had a record of 232-46-9 (a winning percentage of ,824). The Crimson Tide won more games than any other team in the nation in both the 1960s and 1970s. Coupled with his earlier success, Bryant retired with more wins than anyone in major college football history, a record of 323-85-17 (73.2 per cent).
He produced a boatload of all-star players, but said his teams won because of the men "who were not All-America, but thought they were."
He claimed that he surrounded himself "with people who are smarter than I am." That was not true. Paul Bryant was off-the-scale intelligent. Moreover, I know it's not true because he hired me. Technically, at least. Charley Thornton hired me as his assistant in the sports information office in 1970, and I worked in that office until leaving to start 'BAMA Magazine in 1979. When Wimp Sanderson was named head basketball coach in 1980, Sanderson walked down the hall and into Bryant's office to thank Bryant, who also served as athletics director. Bryant said, "I didn't hire you. Sam Bailey (the associate athletics director who administered sports other than football) hired you." Bryant then added, "But I damn sure could have prevented it." So Coach Bryant didn't hire me...
I cannot measure how much working for Coach Bryant meant to me. Although he had a reputation as someone who intimidated everyone, it was not a matter of him imposing such intimidation. And, in fact, those who worked for him were not intimidated; they were anxious to please him. No one wanted to disappoint him because everyone knew how much he gave.
I had covered Coach Bryant for a couple of years before I went to work at The University and, of course, continued to cover him through his final years. When he announced his retirement, I sent him a note asking him to reconsider. He replied with a note thanking me, but saying the decision was final.
Years after his death, Coach Bryant's doctor, Bill de Shazo, said the coach was aware of his health condition.
On December 29, 1982, the Bryant Era came to an end with a 21-15 victory over
in the Liberty Bowl. Four weeks later Al Browning, who worked with us at 'BAMA, came into my office and indicated he needed to speak to me. I was on the telephone with my all-time greatest recruiting source, Ronnie Lee. Al, who also helped Coach Bryant with special projects, had just gotten off the phone with Linda Knowles, Coach Bryant's secretary at the time he retired.
"Coach is gone," Al said.
I was shocked. It wasn't possible. He was in the hospital recovering from what we had been led to believe was a "mild" heart attack. It was only a matter of a short time, we were sure, before he would be out and about. He wanted an office outside of The University, and we had hoped to lure him into an office next door to ours.
It wasn't to be. Coach Bryant was only 69 years old. This year, September 11, will mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.
As has been chronicled, football men from around the country came to Tuscaloosa to pay respects. And it was if we didn't know what to do. I still remember a handful of Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl representatives who ended up at our house, all talking about Coach Bryant's remarkable career and their relationships with him.
Three downtown churches were utilized for his funeral, the services broadcast into two of them. The funeral procession to Birmingham's Elmwood Cemetery was miles long. Cars and trucks pulled to the side of the road in respect. The overpasses were crowded with mourners, some holding signs saying "We'll Miss You."
We still miss Coach Paul Bryant. And 30 years later he is not forgotten.

Testimony on the Economic and Fiscal Challenges Facing Europe |
March 27, 2012 |
William C. Dudley, President and Chief Executive Officer Testimony before the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, Committee on Financial Services, United States House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Introduction Let me preface these remarks by stating that the views expressed in my written and oral testimony are solely my own and do not represent official views of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or any other part of the Federal Reserve System. Additionally, because I am precluded by law from discussing confidential supervisory information, I will not be able to speak about the financial condition or regulatory treatment or rating of any individual financial institution. The U.S. economy is currently expanding at a moderate pace, and strains in global financial markets, although having eased recently, continue to pose significant downside risks to the economic outlook. Because developments in Europe will have an important bearing on the prospects for growth and jobs here in the U.S., the Federal Reserve is monitoring the situation there closely. This is also why we have taken special steps in recent months, together with other central banks, to support the flow of credit to households and businesses. Europe The economic situation in Europe has been unsettled for the better part of two years, with pressure on sovereign debt markets and local banking systems. High debts, large deficits and slow growth in several European countries have called into question the sustainability of the entire euro area. The resulting strains in European markets have affected the U.S. economy. The euro area has the capacity, including the fiscal capacity, to overcome its challenges. However, the politics are very difficult, both because the problem has many dimensions, and because many different countries and institutions in the euro area have to coordinate their actions in order to achieve a coherent and effective policy response. Europe's leadership has affirmed its commitment to the European Union and its single currency union on numerous occasions. And the leadership is working harder than ever to achieve greater coordination in areas such as fiscal policy. A more robust and resilient European Union would be a welcome development for the United States. Three recent developments are especially encouraging in that regard. First, liquidity concerns have eased significantly following the European Central Bank's (ECB) long-term refinancing operations in December and February. Through this program, the ECB provides three-year loans to European banks at low rates, accepting a wide array of collateral in return. Hundreds of banks accessed the program in each operation, and the ECB lent nearly €1 trillion in total. As a result, the cost of funding throughout Europe has declined since the program began, the euro has stabilized, and the sovereign bond market has improved. Changes in the ECB's collateral rules and reserve requirements have also had a positive impact. Second, earlier this month, the Greek government worked with European leaders and its largest creditors to restructure the bulk of its €206 billion of outstanding privately-held bonds. This not only reduced Greece's total indebtedness, it helped calm persistent worries that a disorderly Greek default could become the trigger for a global economic crisis. Shortly after the debt restructuring, the EU approved a €130 billion aid package for Greece. Together, these measures will provide key support to Greek leaders as they pursue the difficult fiscal reforms that are essential over the long term. Third, leaders in most euro area countries have approved a new treaty designed to increase fiscal coordination. The new rules already appear to be making a difference. Both Spain and Italy recently completed 2012 budgets that move their deficits closer to EU targets. Further, Spain and Italy took their fiscal actions in close consultation with finance ministers from other countries in the euro area, demonstrating a healthy ability to work together. While difficult work still lies ahead, countries in the euro area have made meaningful progress toward achieving long-term fiscal sustainability. Looking to the future, the difficult work that remains also presents special risks—both for Europe and the United States. If Europe fails to chart an effective course forward, this could have a number of negative implications here. In particular, there are three areas of potential risk that I would like to highlight for the Subcommittee today. First, if economic conditions in Europe were to weaken significantly, demand for U.S. exports would decrease. This would hurt domestic growth and have a negative impact on U.S. jobs. It is important to recognize that the euro area is the world's second largest economy after the U.S. and an important trading partner for us. Also, Europe is a significant investor in the U.S. economy, and vice versa. Thus, what happens in Europe has significant implications for our economy. Second, deterioration in the European economy could put pressure on the U.S. banking system. As the recent round of stress tests revealed, U.S. banks are much more robust and resilient than they were a few years ago. They have bolstered their capital significantly, built up their loan loss reserves and have significantly larger liquidity buffers. The direct net exposures of U.S. banks to the so-called "peripheral" European countries are actually quite modest. The good news in the United States means that we are better able to handle bad news from Europe. With that said, the exposures of U.S. banks climb sharply when one also considers their exposures to the core European countries and to the overall European banking system. U.S. money market mutual funds, in particular, have significant European holdings. This means that if the crisis were to broaden further and intensify, it would put pressure on the capital and liquidity buffers of U.S. banks and other financial institutions. Third, severe stresses in European financial markets would disrupt financial markets here, which could harm the real economy. Stress in the financial markets causes banks to more carefully husband their balance sheets. When that phenomenon occurs, the availability of credit to U.S. households and businesses becomes constrained. Such conditions could also cause equity prices to fall, impairing the value of Americans' pension and 401(k) holdings. This would damage the U.S. recovery and result in slower output growth and less job creation. At a time when U.S. unemployment is very high, this is a particularly unacceptable outcome. In the extreme, U.S. financial markets could become so impaired that the flow of credit to households and businesses would dry up. U.S. Dollar Swaps Banks headquartered outside the U.S. make extensive use of dollars in their financing activities. In part, this results from the fact that the U.S. dollar is the world's number one currency—a status that brings with it many benefits for our country. It is in our national interest to make sure that non-U.S. banks remain able to access the U.S. dollar funding they need to continue financing their U.S. dollar assets. If access to dollar funding were to become severely impaired, this could necessitate the abrupt, forced sales of dollar assets by these banks, which could seriously disrupt U.S. markets and adversely affect American businesses, consumers and jobs. One way we can help to support the availability of dollar funding, and ensure that credit continues to flow to American households and businesses, is by engaging in currency swaps with other central banks. Such swaps are a policy tool the Federal Reserve has used to support dollar liquidity for nearly fifty years. Most recently, the Federal Reserve established dollar swap lines with major central banks during the global financial crisis of 2008, and reactivated them in May 2010. Last November, the FOMC, cooperating with five other central banks, reduced the rate being charged on these swaps to increase usage. The swaps are intended to create a credible backstop to support—but not supplant—private markets. Banks with surplus dollars are more likely to lend to banks in need of dollars if they know that the borrowing bank will be able to obtain the dollars it needs to repay the loan, if necessary, from its central bank. Ultimately, these dollar swaps are designed to support financial stability, and avoid an unnecessary tightening in financial conditions, so that economic activity and job creation in the United States can continue to recover. Our principal aim is to protect U.S. banks, businesses and consumers from adverse economic trends abroad. I am pleased that the swaps seem to be working. In conjunction with the ECB's long-term refinancing operations, the swaps have helped European banks avoid the significant liquidity pressures we feared a few months ago and have reduced the risk that they would need to sell off their U.S. dollar assets abruptly. Conclusion Thank you for your invitation to testify today, and I look forward to answering your questions. |

No matter how many Silicon Valley-bound software engineers, Texan-imitating call center operators, or Pepsi-endorsing movie stars it produces, India retains a promise of untrammeled, ancient spirituality. But how is modernity changing some of the country's oldest traditions? Children of businessmen and engineers disobey their parents to join obscure, exacting religious orders; holy men hold work-a-day jobs; Sufi mystics struggle in Talibanizing provinces.
Historian and travel writer William Dalrymple, author of Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India, visits Zócalo Public Square to explore where modern meets ancient in a transforming country, and the constant human pursuit of the divine.

This week I made Mark's Beef Stew from How to Cook Everything, with a modest addition in honor of St. Patrick's day: Guinness. Ireland's famous black stout – "thinned" slightly with beef stock – makes the broth robust and dark, its mysteriously roasted flavor rippling throughout. All of the ingredients take to the Guinness in their own way – the meat gets deeply flavorful and tender, the carrots become malty and sweet, and the potatoes soak it up like sponges. You'll be pouring your perfect pints right into the pot.
Beef Stew
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Time: 1 ½ to 2 hours, largely unattended
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, or extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, lightly crushed, plus 1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 to 2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck or round, trimmed of surface fat and cut into 1- to 1 ½-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large or 3 medium onions, cut into eighths
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, water, wine, or a combination, or more as needed*
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 medium to large waxy or all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 large carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen peas
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
1. Heat a large pot with a lid or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes; add the oil and the crushed garlic clove; cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then remove and discard the garlic. Add the meat to the skillet a few minutes at a time, turning to brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Do not crowd or the cubes will not brown properly; cook in batches if necessary. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper as it cooks.
2. When the meat is brown, remove it with a slotted spoon. Pour or spoon off most of the fat and turn the heat down to medium. Add the onions. Cook, stirring until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the stock, bay leaf, thyme, and meat and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and cover. Cook, undisturbed, for 30 minutes.
3. Uncover the pot; the mixture should be wet (if not, add a little more liquid). Add the potatoes and carrots, turn the heat up for a minute or so to bring the liquid back to a boil, then lower the heat and cover again. Cook for 30 to 60 minutes, until the meat and vegetables are tender. Taste and adjust the seasoning. (At this point, you may remove the meat and vegetables with a slotted spoon and refrigerate them and the stock separately. Skim the fat from the stock before combining it with the meat and vegetables, reheating, and proceeding with the recipe from this point.)
4. Add the minced garlic and the peas; if you're pleased with the stew's consistency, continue to cook, covered, over low heat. If it's too soupy, remve the cover and raise the heat to high. In either case, cook for an additional 5 minutes or so, until the peas have heated through and the garlic has flavored the stew. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Beef and Guinness Stew. In Step 2, omit the flour.
Use 2 cups Guinness and 1- to 1 ½-cups beef broth for the liquid (add
more beer, broth or water as needed during the cooking process).
By Mark Bittman, Wiley, 2008. Hardcover. $35; 944 pages
Graze the food blogs and you'll find that the 13-year-old How to Cook Everything is still almost universally loved as the best resource for a fledgling cook. The audacious, brilliant title is of course ridiculous: One book can't cover all bases. But the recently revised version of this classic includes 2,000 recipes plus kitchen tips, shortcuts, basics, ingredients, and flavors. In other words, most everything.
When recipes include ethnic or other hard-to-find items, sidebars offer sources or subs. Bittman demystifies cassoulet and calls the dish "glorified beans." His interpretation takes 40 minutes to prepare (as opposed to days). Indeed, this book foreshadows Bittman's New York Times success as The Minimalist. (Bittman is also a Cooking Light columnist.)
Everyday technique is his forte, and his confident voice is present throughout.

IOCC Begins Distributions in Tbilisi & North Ossetia
20. August 2008 - 12:56International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) distributed emergency food and hygiene supplies to people who were displaced due to the conflict between Georgian, Russian, and South Ossetian forces. The distribution took place on Thursday in Tbilisi where displaced families took shelter in a school for the blind and in the nearby town of Tskvarichamia. IOCC is also coordinating assistance to refugees in North Ossetia (Russia) in partnership with the Russian Orthodox Church.
"Most people had to flee the fighting in South Ossetia and brought nothing more than the clothes on their backs," said IOCC Georgia Program Manager Darejan Dzotsenidze. The Georgian government and the U.N. are currently registering some 23,000 people who fled the conflict and poured into Tbilisi. Those numbers are expected to increase.

Concerning an inaccurate article for the relations with the Greek-Catholics (Uniates)
12. August 2008 - 13:06With respect to the recently published articles reporting that allegedly His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew believes that it is possible for the Greek Catholics (Uniates) to have a "double union", in other words, full communion with Rome as well as with Constantinople, the Ecumenical Patriarchate refutes this inaccurate statement and affirms it was never made. The Ecumenical Patriarchate repeats its position that full union in faith is a prerequisite for sacramental communion.

Asteroids are rocky or metallic objects mainly found orbiting the Sun in a region called the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some are large - the biggest is Ceres with a diameter of nearly 600 miles (950km) - and are sometimes called minor planets or planetoids. There are millions of small asteroids. The smallest are sometimes called meteoroids. It is thought that asteroids are material leftover from the time that the planets formed.
Meteors are dust-sized particles that burn up as they plummet through Earth's atmosphere. Meteorites are larger, more durable objects that survive heating in the atmosphere and land on Earth.

The Sky at Night's Chris Lintott talks to Dr John Mason about meteors and meteor showers. Dr Mason explains the difference between meteors and meteorites and describes the different types of meteor. They discuss The Perseids, a meteor shower that happens every August when the Earth passes through the trail of dust left by Comet Swift-Tuttle.
Patrick Moore talks to guest Dr John Mason about the Perseid meteor shower that takes place every August when the Earth passes through the dust and gas trail left by Comet Swift-Tuttle. In 2007 when this interview took place visibility was very good but cloud cover and the Moon can get in the way.
Dr Iain Stewart discusses the tsunami waves that would have been caused by the huge asteroid impact that many experts believe killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
If Jupiter were much larger it would be a star in its own right! Enjoy Astronomer Marek Kukula's eloquent guide to the Sun, the planets and the outer reaches of the Solar System.
Pioneer 10 and 11 discover hazards facing the Voyager probes.
The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft, launched in 1972 and 1973 respectively, survived the asteroid belt and Jupiter's radiation belt and magnetic field. These probes fed crucial information to scientists designing the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft.
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System. The larger ones have also been called planetoids. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as minor planets in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to resemble comets more closely and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids. Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter. They are grouped with the outer bodies—centaurs, Neptune trojans, and trans-Neptunian objects—as minor planets, which is the term preferred in astronomical circles. In this article the term "asteroid" refers to the minor planets of the inner Solar System.
There are millions of asteroids, many thought to be the shattered remnants of planetesimals, bodies within the young Sun's solar nebula that never grew large enough to become planets. The large majority of known asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, or are co-orbital with Jupiter (the Jupiter Trojans). However, other orbital families exist with significant populations, including the near-Earth asteroids. Individual asteroids are classified by their characteristic spectra, with the majority falling into three main groups: C-type, S-type, and M-type. These were named after and are generally identified with carbon-rich, stony, and metallic compositions, respectively.
Only one asteroid, 4 Vesta, which has a relatively reflective surface, is normally visible to the naked eye, and this only in very dark skies when it is favorably positioned. Rarely, small asteroids passing close to Earth may be visible to the naked eye for a short time. As of September 2013, the Minor Planet Center had data on more than one million objects in the inner and outer Solar System, of which 625,000 had enough information to be given numbered designations.
On 22 January 2014, ESA scientists reported the detection, for the first definitive time, of water vapor on Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt. The detection was made by using the far-infrared abilities of the Herschel Space Observatory. The finding is unexpected because comets, not asteroids, are typically considered to "sprout jets and plumes". According to one of the scientists, "The lines are becoming more and more blurred between comets and asteroids."

Jordan's national carrier Royal Jordanian has stopped flying over Syrian airspace for security reasons, the airline's head said on Sunday.Syria is a major air and land transport hub for the Gulf and eastern Europe, and nearly two years of revolt there against President Bashar al-Assad has already severely hit multi-billion dollar cargo routes from Turkey to the Gulf and vice versa.The airline, a leading regional carrier, said the move would primarily affect Beirut, a major destination, with a route via Egyptian airspace and over the Mediterranean making a longer journey for its four daily flights."This move reflects the airline's commitment to the safety of passengers and security of operations, even though this procedure involves additional costs to the company,", Royal Jordanian's chief executive Amer Hadidi said.The airline stopped its regular flights to Damascus last year along with other carriers.

This is just one of those across-the-Pond differences. Desmond isn't used very much in my area, but Gavin is very popular among boys---the oldest Gavin I've met was about 13 or 14 and the rest were elementary school age (5-10-ish), though I had a great-uncle whose name was Robert Gavan. I also had a classmate in the second grade named Alan as well as a kindergarten classmate named Derek and two high school friends named Ian---they'd be about 24-25 now, and most American Dereks and Ians would be 15-35-ish. And my teenage sister has a friend named Graham; they met a 30-ish man named Graeme and there was much rejoicing.
It's funny, but I had the exact opposite reaction to yours when I first heard of Sir Derek Jacobi: "You mean there's someone named Derek who's over 35?"

iPad 4 GPS won't lock onto location?
This afternoon I had my iPad 4 in my car and decided to try to use the maps app, just for S&Gs. I had it connected to my iPhone 5's personal hotspot. The iPad got my approximate location, but never locked on - my iPhone locked on quickly. When I was in motion, the iPhone's beacon tracked me smoothly, but the beacon on the iPad would stay in once place for 15 or so seconds, then quickly jump to another approximate location several hundred feet down the road, and repeat that process. Here at my house, same thing. iPhone locks on, iPad won't. Did I get a bad unit?
Edit: Should have looked into this more before posting. I see that the WiFi version does not have true GPS, which must be why it isn't as accurate at the iPhone's GPS. Nevermind!

Born on March 19, 1958, in Meadville, Pennsylvania, Sharon Stone worked as a model before launching into film, landing roles in features like Irreconcilable Differences and Total Recall. She created major buzz with her scintillating lead part in Basic Instinct, with later roles in Sliver, Gloria and If These Walls Could Talk 2. She was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for Casino.
Early Career
Sharon Yvonne Stone was born on March 10, 1958 in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The daughter of a factory worker, Stone won a scholarship to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania at age 15. At Edinboro she studied creative writing and fine arts. Upon graduation, the Miss Pennsylvania beauty pageant winner decided to pursue a modeling career in New York where she signed with the Ford agency. By the late 1970s, Stone was a highly sought-after model, appearing in both print and television ads nationwide.
Stone decided to branch out into acting in the 1980s, making a number of television and movie appearance throughout the decade. She played the memorable role of Blake Chandler in the 1984 Golden Globe-nominated comedy, Irreconcilable Differences. She also earned laughs in the popular comedy film, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987).
Breakthrough Role
Her breakthrough film role came in 1990 with the Philip K. Dick action thriller, Total Recall. Stone played Lori, the gorgeous but deadly wife of Douglas Quaid (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger). The film did well with fans, grossing more than $100 million at U.S. box offices. In an effort to promote the film, Stone also appeared that year in a Playboy magazine spread. Her photo shoot earned her a spot on the magazine's "Top 25 Sexiest Stars of the Century" list.
In 1992, Stone landed the unforgettable role of a bisexual murder suspect in the blockbuster film Basic Instinct. Stone sparked controversy for a particular scene in the film, which required her to cross and uncross her legs in a way which revealed she was not wearing underwear. While Stone initially claimed she was not aware of the level of nudity that would be revealed in the film, she later recanted.
The film was a blockbuster hit, and earned Stone Golden Globe and Saturn award nominations for her performance. She also landed on People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" list shortly after the film's release.
Career Highlights
Subsequent films, including Sliver (1993) and The Specialist (1994), did not fare as well with critics or fans. The lull in her career led some to claim that her success had more to do with her simmering sexuality than her acting. But Stone proved the critics wrong in 1995 with Martin Scorsese's Casino. The film won Stone a Golden Globe as well as an Academy Award nomination, and put Stone back in the limelight.
