iPhone 5 and Vodafone India
Hi I have been using my iPhone with my Vodafone in the UK but I have come to Bombay ,India and have put a local sim card in the phone.
I have noticed that when I turn the phone on I get ...searching....... then it goes to like No service for a like 3 to 5 seconds and then I get the vodafone signal. People who are using a iPhone 5 in India on vodafone please can you check the same and let me know if you are getting a similar thing with the network. Thanks. |

My iPhone 5 (originally on Vodafone UK) never use to do it. Then got it unlocked and now using on o2 UK. It now does that "searching, no service" story every time when loading up. Only shows no service for a second before switching to the o2 sign |

Yes the same thing on AT&T in the US as well. I think it is briefly for just 2 seconds and not that bad.
A question for those on Airtel and iPhone 5. What do you see on your phone - is it 4G or 3G. What's the speed on a normal day? I know it won't latch to LTE. Here for reference on AT&T, it goes to as high as 45Mbps when on LTE, about 15 Mbps when on 4G. I haven't seen it drop to 3G yet so can't say. Can some one write about the speeds we get on airtel and Vodafone. I wanted to make a choice which one to use. |

I was hoping for some assistance from some nice Indians
I'm visiting Mumbai and Goa next week from the USA and I am bringing my unlocked iPhone 5. Someone has arranged for me to have a Rs 250 prepaid nano-SIM from airtel when I arrive. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. 1) Is it as easy as inserting the new Airtel SIM and all works well? Or are some setting changes needed in the iPhone? 2) I visited the Airtel website, but I cannot figure out how to pick a specific prepaid plan. The page doesn't explain how many SMS/minutes/data is included in various plans, or how to select the plan I want. Can someone explain how I do this? What plans are available prepaid? I am traveling for 2 weeks in India. Thanks! |

New SIM activation
I got an iphone from UK which i was using there with O2. Its an unlocked phone.
In India i got a new sim from Vodafone. Now even though they say the number has been activated, the phone still shows No Service. Is there anything that needs to be done in the phone to make this work ? Thanks |

I am Airtel's Hyderabad network and it does not happen to me! May be you have a faulty SIM.

Searching -> No Signal and then getting the signal is not a problem with the phone or the SIM. It happens to me whenever I turn on my phone.
Even my friend who has the iPhone 5 has the same outcome. I don't think there is any problem with it. Might just take time to connect to the network. |

Great Live Moments - Hilton Ruiz

So how can we say something so real has really gone away?
I hear him now, I always will
Believe me I remember Hilton still.Those are actually the lyrics to "I Remember Clifford," one of the enduring jazz ballads by Benny Golson. With one modification. The name.
It should not go unnoticed that nearly two years ago, Hilton Ruiz lay unconscious on Bourbon Street in my hometown. What particularly stings me is that he was in New Orleans working on a benefit CD for and video about Hurricane Katrina victims.It reminds me of a quote attributed to Dizzy Gillespie:
"Men have died for this music. You can't get more serious than that."In 1986, Hilton Ruiz played the Steinway B in our performance studio.

Great Live Moments - Charles Brown

Charles Brown was a chemist. He attended college, earned a degree in chemistry, taught high school science, and landed a civil service job in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. That would have been a career track for most. Brown had other ideas. He bristled at the racism he encountered each day. He volunteered to serve in the second world war, but was deemed unfit due to asthma. So Charles Brown packed his bags and headed to California.
Thank goodness. Can you imagine a holiday season without "Merry Christmas Baby?" Or a world without "Drifting Blues?" And who played the piano behind a fellow Texan, Ivory Joe Hunter, on "Blues at Sunrise?" How about "Trouble Blues," or "Black Night?" Mind you, most of those songs were hits before Elvis Presley had ever set foot in Sun Studios.
How about one of my all-time favorite records, Sam Cooke's Night Beat? If you simply listen to the way Cooke sings on that record, you might reach the same conclusion I did - would that record exist were it not for Charles Brown?
Brown celebrated New Year's Eve with WBGO, part of the Toast of the Nation coast-to-coast live music party. He welcomed 1994 from the Sheraton Hotel in Tacoma, Washington. His cool, bluesy ballad style was especially poignant on a song popularized by Lucky Millinder.

Furyk, Bradley fail to make cut at U.S. Open
Photo Gallery
PHOTOS: U.S. Open at Merion (Thursday)
Check out photos from the first round of the U.S. Open Thursday at Merion.
ARDMORE, Pa. -- It took three days, but the cut at the 113th U.S. Open was finally set on Saturday morning at 8-over 148, leaving 73 players to play the final 36 holes at Merion Golf Club.
Due to weather conditions that postponed the first round twice on Thursday, the first round was not completed until Friday and the second round was suspended on Friday due to darkness with 68 players on the course.
With the cut set at top 60 and ties, the cut line on Friday night was at 147 (7 over), but the struggle to stay above the cut line would prove overwhelming and brought the eventual cut one shot deeper.
The notables that missed the cut included former U.S. Open champions Angel Cabrera, Michael Campbell, Jim Furyk, Lucas Glover and Graeme McDowell.
"I had four events in the Philly area and I never really played well in any of those," Furyk said after a second-round 79. "And then to come back here is a bummer. I played well across the state at Oakmont for a couple of championships, but yeah, I wanted to, obviously, later in my career at 43, there's not going to be another tournament here at Merion through my career."
Former major winners Keegan Bradley, Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson also missed the cut with a list of other notables including Tim Clark, Bill Haas, Matteo Manassero, Francisco Molinari, Kevin Streelman, Nick Watney and Boo Weekley.
Cink stepped to the 18th tee on the cut at 8 over. He made double-bogey to miss the cut for a third consecutive U.S. Open.
"I actually played better today, then made a triple and another bogey right after that. Just bad stretches," Bradley said of his second round that lead to his first missed cut in seven majors. "It's super disappointing. I'm really bummed out. It's not a good feeling."
Manassero was comfortably above the cut line by a shot when he returned to Merion on Saturday, but bogeys on the par-4 16th and par-4 18th sent the young Italian packing.
Clark opened with an even-par 70 in Thursday's first round, but a second-round 79 that included 10 bogeys (4 over the last five holes), sent Clark home missing only his fourth cut in his 10 U.S. Open appearances.
"Everybody said the golf course suited me really well," Manassero said. "I don't personally think it suited me really well for the condition that it's in or for the conditions it's playing in. Some holes are really, really long and some guys can still have like 7‑irons out of the rough and put it beside the green. I've got to hit a rescue so I've got to wedge it out and then wedge it onto the green."
Others failing to make the final 36 holes:
• Aaron Baddeley bogeyed his 35th hole, the par-3 ninth, to finish one outside the cut.
• Rory Sabbatini was Baddeley's playing competitor and he did similarly to miss by one.
• Cliff Kresge missed the cut by one and can always point to his downfall – a quadruple-bogey 9 at the second hole.
Not everyone struggled down the stretch, as Simon Kahn birdied his 33rd and 34th holes, Nos. 7 and 8, to make the cut on the number; Nicholas Thompson birdied his final hole, the par-4 10th to finish at 8 over; and Matt Weibring birdied his 35th hole, the par-3 ninth, to make the cut on the number.
"This is my first golf tournament in two and a half months. I've been sick with Bell's palsy the last two and a half months, so I was happy just to be here, just to be back playing," said Weibring. "And I hung in there, and I did what I had to do. It's hard out there."
Two surprises that will be playing on the weekend are Canadian Mike Weir and Englishman Paul Casey.
Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, had not made a cut in a major since the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach when he finished 80th.
Casey has struggled with injuries and had not made the cut in a major since finishing 72nd at the PGA Championship in 2011.
The third round will start at 12:28 p.m. EDT with threesomes off both the 1st and 11th tee.

MTV's new racy show "Skins" is everywhere. Not only did its premiere episode attract more than 3 million viewers, it's been written about in hundreds of newspapers, magazines and blogs. That's because advertisers are dropping like flies; Shick, Wrigley, and today, Subway, all pulled the plug. That makes seven so far. The sexually charged show features high school students who routinely have sex, drink alcohol and do drugs.

Title: | Human Resting Muscle Tone (HRMT): Narrative Introduction and Modern Concepts |
Author(s): | Masi, Alfonse T.; Hannon, John Charles |
Subject(s): |
muscle tone
tonus, muscle viscoelastic |
Abstract: | Human resting muscle (myofascial) tone (HRMT) is the passive tonus or tension of skeletal muscle that derives from its intrinsic (EMG-silent) molecular viscoelastic properties. The word tone has been used to convey varying clinical and physiological features that have led to confusion and controversy. HRMT is the vital low-level, passive tension, and resistance to stretch that contributes importantly to maintaining postural stability in balanced equilibrium positions. In contrast, co-contraction of muscle is an active neuromotor control that provides greater levels of tonus for increased stabilization. Functionally, HRMT is integrated with other passive fascial and ligamentous tensional networks of the body to form a biotensegrity system. This review aims to achieve better understandings of HRMT and its functional roles. Nature is frugal and Man's adaptations to gravitational forces and erect postures seemingly evolved mechanisms in skeletal muscle tissues to economically enhance stability. Normal passive muscle tone helps maintain relaxed standing body posture with minimally increased energy costs (circa 7% over supine), and often for prolonged durations without fatigue. Available data infer polymorphic variations in normal myofascial tone. However, few quantitative studies have been performed to establish normal frequency distributions of degrees of myofascial tone. Clinical experience indicates that persons with certain symptomatic musculoskeletal conditions may have palpably increased resting muscle firmness or hardness (EMG-silent), such as that of the upper trapezius in tension-type headache, and the lumbodorsal extensors (hartspann) in degenerative lumbar disc disease and ankylosing spondylitis. In summary, resting skeletal muscle tone is an intrinsic viscoelastic tension exhibited within the body's kinematic chains. It functions inseparably from fascial (i.e. myofascial) tissues and ligamentous structures. Thus, HRMT is a passive myofascial property which operates within networks of tensional tissues, i.e., biotensegrity. This passive tension is the CNS-independent component resulting from intrinsic molecular interactions of the actomyosin filaments in sarcomeric units of skeletal muscle and myofibroblast cells. The overarching CNS-activated muscle contractions generate far greater tensions transmitted by fascial elements. Interdisciplinary research on HRMT and its biodynamics promises greater effectiveness of clinical practitioners and productivity of investigators, which warrants priority attention. |

Biomonitoring is a method of measuring a person's exposure to various chemical substances using biological samples.
The goal is to assess human exposures to chemicals by measuring for the presence of those chemicals in human blood, urine, hair or saliva. This information is used to help prevent and reduce excessive exposures and aid in the disease prevention.
Learn more through New Mexico Environmental Public Health Tracking.
The New Mexico Department of Health is a member of the Rocky Mountain Biomonitoring Consortium. The consortium addresses environmental health problems in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. These states share common environmental characteristics and have extensive histories of mining and federal military operations. Some of these states have the highest levels of arsenic and uranium in drinking water in the nation. This is from naturally occurring deposits and mining/milling and coal-fired power plants operations. These operations may lead to elevated levels of heavy metals in lakes and streams.
The initial study focused on analysis of arsenic and heavy metals in urine, while analytical methods for other chemical exposures of concern were developed.
This project team is comprised of representatives from each member state's public health lab and a public health expert. The core team consists of chemists, epidemiologists, toxicologist, physicians, and veterinarians, with extensive knowledge of their states' exposure issues and an interest in using biomonitoring to advance the understanding and improvement of environmental health in this region.

Restaurants > Donut Tacos PalaceNeighborhoods: East Oak Hill, Oak Hill
This place makes an awesome Machacado taco. Look for it on the menu. They make them as you order so they are hot and delicious. It's got egg, steak, peppers and other ingredients. It will wake you up. ..Get some.
Delicious Donuts, Good Breakfast Tacos – Go ahead! Take a chance and pull over! I had been wondering about this place forever and finally decided to go there this morning. Don't let the uninspiring facade fool you. It's very clean and suprisingly nice inside. The donuts are delicious and fresh (they're beautifully displayed, too!). The breakfast tacos are also good. (The salsa is delicious - you might want to ask for a couple extra). They open at 5am 7 days a week. Great service, too.

This issue brief provides national and state estimates for tax credit eligibility for people in these groups.

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Yields: 10-12 Servings
For your next cocktail party, especially around the holiday season, no combination is better for a unique and tasty dip than crabmeat and artichokes. An interesting thing about this recipe is the many variations that may come about by simply adding more cream to create a soup or throwing in 2 cups of chopped spinach and replacing the crabmeat with oysters for a fabulous Oysters Rockefeller Dip.
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
2 (8 and 1/2-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained
1/4 pound butter
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced yellow bell pepper
2 tbsps minced garlic
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup flour
2 cups chicken stock (see recipe)
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 ounce dry white wine
salt and black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
1/4cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp chopped basil
Rinse artichokes well under cold water to remove brine. In a food processor, chop artichokes coarsely then remove and set aside. In a 2-quart heavy-bottom saute pan, melt butter over medium-high heat and add onions, celery, bell peppers and minced garlic. Saute 3-5 minutes or until wilted. Add artichokes and nutmeg and blend well. Stir and cook 5 additional minutes. Sprinkle in flour and blend well to form a white roux (see roux recipes). Be careful not to brown. Add stock and cream, 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly until a thick cream sauce is achieved. Reduce heat to simmer. Add wine and season to taste using salt, peppers and granulated garlic. Simmer approximately 15 minutes or until a thick cream sauce consistency returns, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching. If the mixture becomes too thick, additional whipping cream or stock may be added to reach desired consistency. Add green onions and parsley then fold in lump crabmeat. Cook 5 minutes then remove from heat. Fold in Parmesan cheese and basil. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper if necessary. Place mixture in a chafing dish and serve warm with garlic croutons or crackers.

Part of a Beers of the World pack from Cost Plus World Market.
Pours a clear light yellow with a 1/2 inch white head that fades to a film on the top of the beer. Frothy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of grains, corn flakes, and slight sulphur. Taste is pretty faint with some sweet grain and corn flake flavors. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a very crisp and clean mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty average beer - nothing great, but nothing offensive really.

12 oz bottle served in a lager glass.
A classic yellow fizzy beer in looks, aroma and taste.
Head has very good retention and lacing.
Mild with high carbonation and bit of corn. Smooth but thin body.
Flavor: could ready pass for an Amer. Adjunct beer, but perhaps even light for that style.
Clean and worked fine with a meal, but no legs to stand on its own.

Pours clean, golden. Topped with a finger of white head that settles down quickly.
The aroma is very faint, although you can point out some minimal amount of hops and grains.
There are sweet grains in the taste, slightly watery body, finish has just a touch of bitterness.
Refreshing, drinkable, nothing out of the ordinary, really.

Posted June 14, 2012 on
AP on Fox
Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff bruised his right knee trying to jump over the dugout railing and join the postgame celebration of Matt Cain's perfect game.
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said Huff underwent an MRI early Thursday and the team is awaiting the results.
Cain threw the first perfect game in Giants history in a 10-0 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night - the second perfect game and fifth no-hitter in the majors this season.
Huff, a top candidate for designated hitter when the Giants visit Seattle for an interleague series this weekend, landed on his knee as he jumped over the railing and had to be helped off the field.
Huff is hitting only .120 in 19 games since being activated from the disabled list.

Airport to pay for apron, vehicle; $4.8 million comes from federal funds
Spokane International Airport plans to spend part of about $4.8 million in federal grant money on a new apron and an emergency vehicle.
Slated for use as aircraft parking or as a taxiway, the roughly $3 million apron project will promote further expansion of corporate and general aviation traffic, the fastest-growing segment of the aviation industry, said airport spokesman Todd Woodard.
The airport receives about $5 million annually in federal money, which comes from an 8 percent tax on airline ticket sales, he said.
The new 3,000-gallon-capacity aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle is expected to carry water, foam and chemical fire retardant and will replace an aging machine, Woodard said.
Some of the money also will be used to design rehabilitation of an airport taxiway and the tarmac around the main passenger terminal - a project that will go out to bid next year, Woodard said.
Washington airports statewide received more than $8.3 million this year from the federal Airport Improvement Program, overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration, according to the office of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
The Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport in Pullman will receive $600,000 to conduct a study of its master plan, allowing to it "make sound financial managements decisions, as well as prioritize development needs," according to Murray's office.
Another $1 million will allow the Port of Whitman County Business Air Center in Colfax build a parallel taxiway the length of its runway to comply with FAA standards, according to the senator's office.
Construction contracts for the new Spokane apron, planned for an area south of Pilot Drive at the airport's southeast corner, will be awarded at the Spokane Airport Board's June meeting, Woodard said.

The new facility will be north of the new XN Aviation maintenance hangar, which was approved and built last year with similar funding arranged by the airport and the state.

More information about Russia is available on the Russia Page and from other Department of State publications and other sources listed at the end of this fact sheet.
The United States seeks a relationship with Russia based on cooperation in the pursuit of mutual interests and a frank and open discussion of disagreements based on mutual respect as the two countries seek to address the shared challenges of the 21st century.
Russia matters for the defense and promotion of U.S. national interests in a way matched by few other countries in the world. Russia is the world's largest country by landmass and is a key geopolitical player in the East Asia-Pacific region, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Europe. Russia and the U.S. collectively control over 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons, and Russia is the world's largest producer of hydrocarbons. It is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, a member of the G8 and G20, and a key player in the Quartet on Middle East peace, the P5+1 talks on Iran, and the Six-Party talks on North Korea.
On such critical issues as preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, combating terrorism, countering narcotics, addressing the effects of climate change, increasing trade and investment to enhance economic prosperity, and managing global financial markets, the United States is better positioned to advance our national interests if we can work with Russia in the spirit of cooperation. Russia's long-term prosperity, modernity, integration into the global economy, and political liberalization are all in the interest of the United States.
The New START Treaty was signed on April 8, 2010, and entered into force on February 5, 2011, and demonstrates U.S. and Russian leadership in reducing the number of nuclear weapons in the world. New START reduces the limits on the number of U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear arms by a third and restores important verification and inspection measures. On April 13, 2010, the two countries also signed a Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, which will enable the disposal of 34 tons of weapons-grade plutonium on each side, or enough for about 17,000 nuclear weapons. On January 11, 2011, the U.S. and Russia concluded an agreement on civilian nuclear cooperation, establishing a legal basis for cooperation and expanding opportunities for U.S. companies in Russia.
In terms of stabilizing Afghanistan, Russia has been a critical partner. Thanks to Russia's agreement to allow the transit of U.S. personnel and equipment across Russian territory in support of the ISAF mission, as of June 2012, more than 2,374 flights and over 404,000 military personnel have transited this corridor, while Russia's ground transit arrangement with NATO has resulted in the shipment of over 50,000 containers of supplies to Afghanistan.
We are working together to prevent Iran and North Korea from pursuing nuclear weapons programs. Together with Russia, we crafted United Nations Security Council Resolution 1929, which introduced the most comprehensive set of multilateral sanctions to date on Iran. In 2010 Russia canceled the planned sale of an advanced air-defense system (the S-300) to Iran, further advancing our non-proliferation aims. The U.S. also worked closely with Russia to pass United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874, which strengthens financial and arms embargoes on North Korea.
The United States and Russia are increasing people-to-people connections through education, culture, sports, media, and other professional interactions. The objective of these efforts is to promote the mutual understanding required to build lasting ties between our two peoples. In the field of cultural and public diplomacy, the "American Seasons" program in Russia has brought a wide spectrum of cultural offerings to the Russian public. In 2012, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra completed its first tour to Russia in more than two decades. Also in 2012, U.S. audiences applauded the return of the Bolshoi Ballet to the Kennedy Center and enjoyed the Mariinsky Ballet's performances of "Cinderella". The "Russian Seasons" cultural program in America included the bicentennial celebration of the founding of the Russian settlement at Fort Ross, California. Bilateral agreements have also been concluded on cooperation in intercountry adoptions as well as liberalization of practices governing entry visas. The bilateral Agreement Regarding Cooperation in Adoption of Children which was signed in 2011 by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov provides better safeguards for adoptive children taking into account the interests and obligations of the adoptive parents. In September 2012, a historic U.S.-Russia visa agreement entered into effect, making Russian and American travelers for business or tourism eligible to receive visas valid for multiple entries during a period of 36 months.
The United States and Russia do not see eye to eye on all issues, but our relationship accommodates frank discussion of disagreements in a spirit of mutual respect with the aim of managing our differences. Where we have differences – on Georgia, Syria, human rights, etc., – we will address them openly and honestly, and will stand by our principles. Pursuing cooperation where it is in our mutual interest enables a more substantial, less polemical dialogue on the hard issues. Our full bilateral agenda for 2013 features deepening economic ties with Russia, the newest member of the WTO; making progress where we can on missile defense; and expanding the work of the Bilateral Presidential Commission.
Bilateral Presidential Commission
In April 2009, Presidents Obama and Medvedev agreed to the formation of the Bilateral Presidential Commission (BPC). The Bilateral Presidential Commission is the premier forum for cooperation between the United States and Russia, and provides a framework for dialogue and the identification of new opportunities based on our shared interests.
The Bilateral Presidential Commission's 21 working groups continue to produce concrete, substantive results that impact not only our governments but also regular people living in both our countries. Its ongoing expansion – including recently-added working groups on innovation, rule of law and military technical cooperation – and new initiatives demonstrate that our vast bureaucracies are learning the habits and recognizing the benefits of continuing cooperation in between presidential and other high-level meetings.
The BPC continues to function as the vehicle that provides regular attention to our biggest mutual policy objectives via a transparent and structured mechanism. It brings together over 40 U.S. and Russian agencies, as well as numerous NGOs and businesses.
The BPC's principal objectives include the strengthening of strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between Russians and Americans. Its core principles include a focus on common interests, a two-way partnership and exchange, a frank dialogue respectful of differences, and the completion of tangible results.
The BPC aims to institutionalize the government-to-government and people-to-people aspects of the bilateral relationship. Increased participation by the non-government sphere – involving private enterprise, NGOs, and other elements of civil society in both countries – is and will remain an important goal of the Commission.
More information can be found at: http://www.state.gov/p/eur/ci/rs/usrussiabilat/index.htm.
Bilateral Economic Relations
The United States is working vigorously to expand bilateral trade and investment cooperation to benefit both Russia and the United States. Over the past three years, the positive atmosphere resulting from the "reset" of bilateral relations has led to an unprecedented advance in economic cooperation between our countries. From 2009 to 2011, U.S. exports to Russia rose 57 percent and total U.S.-Russia trade increased over 80 percent. U.S. companies reported numerous major business deals in Russia in 2012, including the ExxonMobil-Rosneft deal in May for exploration in the Arctic shelf, Boeing's $15 billion in aircraft sales in Russia over the past five years, and Ex-Im Bank's June MOU signing with Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, to support up to $1 billion in exports to Russia.
In December 2011, culminating 18 years of hard work and dedication, Russia was invited to join the World Trade Organization (WTO), a major accomplishment that will bring the world's largest economy outside the WTO into the organization and bind it to a set of rules governing trade, as well as a dispute-resolution mechanism to enforce those rules. To ensure that U.S. companies and workers can take full advantage of Russia's WTO membership, Congress enacted legislation to extend permanent normal trade relations to Russia.
Our governments are also engaged in a wide range of joint efforts under the Bilateral Presidential Commission in the areas of trade, investment, multilateral economic cooperation, commercial engagement, and innovation that will benefit the people of both countries
Russian Membership in International Organizations
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia took steps to become a full partner in the world's principal political groupings. In December 1991, Russia assumed the permanent UN Security Council seat formerly held by the Soviet Union. Over the years, Russia has increased its international profile and played a growing role in regional issues. Russia and the United States both belong to a number of other international organizations and groupings, including the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Middle East Quartet, P5+1 on Iran, Six-Party Talks on North Korea, G-8, and G-20.
In 1994 Russia joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Partnership for Peace initiative. In 1997 the NATO-Russia Founding Act established formal relations between the NATO and Russia, and in 2002 the NATO-Russia Council was created.
Bilateral Representation
The U.S. Ambassador to Russia is Michael McFaul; other principal embassy officials are listed in the Department's Key Officers List.
The Russian Federation maintains an embassy at 2650 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20007 (tel. 202-298-5700) and a consular section at 2641 Tunlaw Road, Washington, DC (tel. 202-939-8907/8913/8918). Russian consulates also are located in Houston, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Cathay Hotel
Don't let the nighttime trade put you off
What we say:
The entrance of Cathay Hotel, across from Red Garden Food Paradise on Lebuh Leith, is, to be honest, far grander than the interior. An old Chinese mansion, the Cathay has an air of colonial charm, with the floors laid in European tiles, the quite spacious rooms decked out with wooden shutters and an inner courtyard atrium letting fresh air freely flow through the house. Rooms face onto this inner courtyard, which has tables, chairs and the occasional reader. All rooms have attached bathrooms -- bathrooms we'd describe as grungy verging on dire -- and it is the bathrooms that drag down what is otherwise a good value hotel. The hotel was used as a set in the film Beyond Rangoon. Come the evening there is a bit of a short time trade, (see the comments for more colour in this regard) but we think it is still great value -- just get some new bathtubs already!

Callbacks functions are given the list of events which formed the word, the context is set to be the target element. It is possible to define which characters are allowed by providing a custion acceptedCode function through options, such function receives the key code of the key pressed and must return true if it accepted, false otherwise.

What would you do in this situation?
Needing to upgrade the computer.
This pretty much points to a PC right? I mean all the software I use is multi platform and I can use Windows just fine. Thoughts? |

The motivation to go either way would come down to user experience. For me, that is better with OSX and Apple hardware.
If you do go with Apple, I would look at the Macbook Pro. I am a designer myself and though my machine is usually purposed as a desktop, I like having the option of taking it to the occasional meeting. With the advent of quad core processors and increased RAM capacity, the MBP is a good workstation replacement capable of tackling 95% of the tasks of our profession. |

Our 2013 New Year's Resolutions
It's Resolution Week at Food52, and we're looking ahead to how we want to run our kitchens, 2013-style.
Today: All the delicious things we're going to make -- not buy -- in 2013.
Last year, we gave you our list of New Year's Resolutions -- to bake our own bread, to make our own yogurt, to churn our own ice cream, to mix our own sausage.
Now, heading into 2013, we've grown up -- and so have you. So our goals for the new year -- our challenges, our aspirations -- are getting even more serious. They're getting even more noble. And, when our fridges and pantries and tables are stocked with the very things we had promised ourselves we'd make, they'll taste even sweeter (or saltier, or creamier, or whatever preference you may have).
Let us know your New Year's Resolutions in the comments, and we'll help each other towards a food-filled 2013. Cheers!
This year, we will...
Make our cheese by hand.
Homemade Goat Cheese Homemade Mozzarella
And other dairy staples, too.
Homemade Crème Fraîche Homemade Labneh
Turn the old into exciting new opportunities.
Turning Cider Into Hard Cider Red Wine Vinegar Made at Home
Dream up our own ice cream flavors -- and make them.
Cure our own gravlax.
Make our own nut butters and tahini.
Homemade Nut Butters Homemade Tahini
And cure and smoke our own bacon.

I'm writing a recipe book for my brother, who's gone to Paris for his doctoral degree with his girl and is in serious need of genius recipes! This means transforming my whole culinary knowledge and experience in feasible meals for hungry students on a budget! That along with healthier eating are my resolutions for 2013. Thanks for all, you are real life savers!

AntoniaJames is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
And here's another one, re food writing in particular: fewer adjectives, and adverbs only on the rare occasion when they improve the text. The majority of the food writing that crosses my desk bores (and fatigues!) me, due to the overuse of adjectives and adverbs. I seek to enliven all my work by more deftly using verbs. ;o)

Fantastic post! The best way to avoid buying more and more and is learn how to do/make things yourself. Make 2013 the year of learning and take a cooking class! You can use CourseHorse to make it easy to compare and enroll in hundreds of cooking classes: http://coursehorse.com...

Reducing my grocery expenditures by 25% and donating that to help feed some of the one in six Americans who are hungry. And to begin banishing plastic in all forms from my kitchen (though I will continue to use any plastic already there). See http://myplasticfreelife.... I have several other resolutions, but those are the ones that will benefit others most. ;o)

2012 was a pretty good year for me, so my resolution is to do more of the same (more reading, more writing, more cooking, more organizing, more getting rid of stuff I don't need/use) and to tackle a few more items on the cooking projects list -- using unglazed tiles to bake flat bread, making my own pasta, and making my own Asian dumplings, to name a few. P.S. If you have not already connected with the Cheese Queen (www.cheesemaking.com), you should for your home cheesemaking endeavors.

Day 1
Make a museum weekend stress-free with a Chicago CityPass. For $84, passholders can skip the long entrance lines (especially important on holiday weekends!) and get right to the goods at several big attractions: the Shedd Aquarium; Field Museum; Willis Tower Skydeck; the John Hancock Observatory or Museum of Science and Industry; and the Adler Planetarium or the Art Institute. David Burke's Primehouse serves absolutely fantastic dry-aged steaks in a city known for great beef. (Don't miss the fill-your-own doughnut holes for dessert.) In the same River North neighborhood, Hotel Felix offers contemporary furnishings and friendly staff. Top off the evening with a comedy show at The Second City improv comedy theater, where big names like Jim Belushi and Bonnie Hunt got their start.
Day 2
It's hard to top Eleven City Diner's decadent breakfasts. We love the challah French toast with strawberries, bananas and toasted coconut. Chicago is full of history, and discovering it is fun on the many available tours: Chicago Architecture Foundation, for instance, offers colorful 90-minute river cruise history-architecture lessons. At chef Rich Bayless' Xoco, fresh Mexican food and superb hot chocolate are well worth the wait. (Don't worry, the line moves fast!)

NFL: Cowboys' loss to Saints doesn't change their bottom line
ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys are in the same situation they would have been if they had been able to complete their comeback against New Orleans.
With the Giants losing later Sunday, the Cowboys' 34-31 overtime loss didn't hurt their playoff chances.
"It is disappointing, but most anything that we were coming up with, we had to win the Washington game next weekend," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said minutes after his team lost.
"But that's not to say, as you saw, that we didn't do everything we could possibly to win this ball game. But we just have to see how it sorts out."
Well, for the third time in five seasons, the Cowboys can get to the playoffs by winning their regular-season finale on the road against an NFC East rival — this time at Washington. They lost such games at the Giants last New Year's night, and at Philadelphia in 2008.
"Even if we would have won today, we would have needed that game next week obviously. There's easier places to go play than New York, Philly and Washington for the division every year," Romo said, even before the Giants lost at Baltimore.
"I welcome that challenge. I think we've improved in some areas since those two years."
Romo threw two of his four touchdowns in the final 3:35 of regulation, including a 19-yarder to Miles Austin with 15 seconds left.
But Dallas (8-7) stalled after gaining only 16 yards its lone overtime possession.
The Saints (7-8), whose playoff fate finally was sealed despite the victory, got a game-ending 20-yard field goal from Garrett Hartley on the play after Marques Colston caught a pass, was stripped and the ball rolled more than 20 yards, recovered by New Orleans at the 2.

Moving can be one of the most stressful times in your life. SO many things to organize and pack, utilities to shut off, mail to be forwarded, where's Carl? and on and on. Anyone who's gone through a move before knows there is a lot more that goes into it than there used to be when we were young.
To help make your next move easier we've put together a few good ideas to keep things going smoothly:
Give Yourself TIME This is the biggest one. Moving day will be here sooner than you expect! It seems like there is never enough time to get it all done – so be sure to start early! If you start off from a rush you will only end up making things more difficult on yourself along the way. Start early, do little things each day even if the exact move date isn't yet set in stone.
Keep Your Receipts Keep receipts religiously – for moving boxes, packing services, anything that goes into your move, because these things may be tax deductible. Keep in mind, the IRS lets you take this deduction only if you are moving because of a job. And it doesn't matter if it's a new job, the same job or your first job. Find out more here…
Look for Ways to Save This can be anything from packing your boxes yourself rather than paying the movers to do it, or cleaning up your old house rather than hiring a service before you leave. There is no need to pay for packing supplies if you are doing it yourself – try hitting up your local appliance, grocery, or department stores to find free boxes!
Make a Checklist For the super-organized: make a checklist inventory of your packed items. This will help you know exactly what you've got to move, and where it needs to go. If you've got a lot of stuff a itemized list of your things will make it much easier to move; if you are using a moving service this may be essential if items do get lost.
Talk to Your REALTOR® Believe it or not talking with a qualified real estate professional can be a great way to find out what you need to know about getting ready for a move. They'll generally know something about the area you are moving to, and be able to offer help in finding local resources to help make your transition easier.

By DAVID A. LIEB
Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Thousands of people in Missouri who have been unemployed for more than a year soon will lose their jobless benefits, marking a significant victory for Republican fiscal hawks who are crusading against government spending.
When eligibility ends Saturday, Missouri will become the only state to voluntarily quit a federal stimulus program that offers extended benefits. Michigan, Arkansas and Florida also recently took steps to cut back on money going to the unemployed, although they targeted state benefits instead.
"We have to take a stand and say, 'When is enough enough?' and send a message to the federal government, and hopefully shame them into doing the right thing and quit spending money that they don't have," said state Sen. Jim Lembke, a Republican from St. Louis.
Lembke has led a coalition of four filibustering senators who have blocked legislation necessary to reauthorize Missouri's participation in a federal program offering long-term unemployment benefits. It's been a stunning setback for a bill that had passed the Republican-led House 123-14 two months ago and had the support of GOP Senate leaders and Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.
As a result, more than 34,000 unemployed residents in Missouri could miss out on $105 million in benefits over the next nine months. Unlike some other stimulus programs, Missouri's unclaimed money would not be redistributed by the federal government to other states. It simply would remain unspent.
At issue is a provision in the 2009 federal stimulus act that allowed residents in states with high unemployment rates to receive up to 20 additional weeks of federally funded jobless benefits after exhausting the 79 weeks authorized under other federal laws. At least three dozen states, including Missouri, enacted laws to participate.
Although their unemployment rates were high enough to qualify, seven other states — Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma and Utah — never passed laws to join in, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Maryland is now pursuing participation, but many of the other states seem content to remain out of the program. Much like his Missouri counterparts, Utah Senate President Michael Waddoups said the states need to set an example of self-sufficiency.
"Somebody has to start pulling back from the federal government somewhere," said Waddoups, a Republican from Taylorsville.
That federal backlash is particularly strong in Missouri, where voters were the first in the nation to pass a measure challenging the new federal health care mandate and where Republican senators also are holding up federal stimulus money for education.
Missouri's unemployment rate has remained above 9 percent for nearly two years. Yet it is poised to become the first state to take the additional federal unemployment money, then later voluntarily stop doing so, according to officials at the federal Labor Department and the National Employment Law Project, a New York-based advocacy group for employment rights that has been urging Missouri to remain in the program.
Several other states could have been in the same situation. But the governors of Massachusetts, Michigan and Oregon all signed laws within the past week continuing participation. Michigan's action came with catch, also cutting state jobless benefits from 26 to 20 weeks starting in 2012. The Florida House has passed a similar state benefits reduction. Arkansas' legislature this week gave final approval to a bill shaving off one week of eligibility for state jobless benefits.
In Missouri, about 10,000 people would immediately be cut off from additional jobless payments, according to the state department of labor. And extended unemployment benefits would be denied to about 24,000 additional residents who otherwise are projected to become eligible.
St. Louis resident Peter Gordon, who has been unemployed for a little over a year, is among those who could miss out. A former patient care coordinator at a hearing aid company, Gordon has been searching for jobs over the Internet but said he can't travel far because he can't afford to license his car. He fears he could eventually be evicted from his apartment.
"They can provide money for government programs to take care of the elite and rich," Gordon said. "But when it comes to a small person like me — people who are just trying to make ends meet — it seems like the rights are being taken away."
Kimberly Clark, a laid off union organizer, says her post-tax unemployment benefit of $275 a week already is consumed by her rent, utility and phone bills. She's been searching for work since November 2009, and she's only a couple of months away from needing the extended benefits that Missouri is poised to reject.
"The mentality is we're just creating a bunch of lazy people, and that is not true," said Clark, 48 of St. Louis.
The National Employment Law Project says its supporters sent 15,000 emails in a roughly 24-hour period from Tuesday to Wednesday urging Missouri senators to allow a vote on the legislation reauthorizing the extended jobless benefits.
But Sen. Brian Nieves, a Republican from Washington, Mo., who is popular among tea party activists, said he has no intention of compromising his position. "The people have been crystal clear for about the last two years in saying that they expect us to at least start the process of weaning ourselves off of the federal government," Nieves said.
Associated Press writers Wes Duplantier in Jefferson City, Josh Loftin in Salt Lake City, Brian Witte in Annapolis, Md., Sean Murphy in Oklahoma City, Emily Wagster Pettus in Jackson, Miss., Nomaan Merchant in Little Rock, Ark., Melinda Deslatte in Baton Rouge, La., and Matt Gouras in Helena, Mont., contributed to this report.
If companies like GE would use some of their profits that they pay no taxes on to hire people then unemployment would be going down. Republicans are not screaming about the $3.2 billion in credits that GE got from the government. Why is that? Because they are out for the rich only. It was the rich that made people have to collect unemployment. Prior to being laid off they were working and are not collecting it because they are lazy. I worked 50 hours a week until I was laid off because my rich ex-employer has decided to move to Mexico to increase his profit. Why is it KWVetern that you feel that I should be financally destroyed and lose everything I worked for because I was left umemployed through no fault of my own? I have looked for a job everyday since I got laid off 3 months ago with no luck. There are no jobs out there to be had. This is a perfect example that trickle down economics don't work. Corporations around the country are getting tax breaks and yet there is no meaningful job creation coming from it.
Yeah, we liberals actually use our brains to think instead of being spoon fed by Glenn Beck, Rush Racist-Baugh, and Sarah Idiot Palin. I applaud liberals for trying to save America - not destroy it like the pompus right wing idiot ideologist.
