New policy brief from IIED: "Towards Food Sovereignty"
Executive summary: Localised food systems provide the foundations of people's nutrition, incomes, economies, ecologies and culture throughout the world. In this way food is primarily sold, processed, resold and consumed locally, with many people deriving their incomes and livelihoods through work and activities at different points of the food chain, from seed to plate. These local food systems provide a livelihood for more than 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, pastoralists, forest dwellers and artisanal fisherfolk worldwide. …

Dualit's XL900 food processor comprises two interconnecting bowls, eight tools for chopping, mixing, slicing and shredding, and a unique E-disc for emulsifying liquids. Other unique features include a sealed drive system (the large bowl has no central hole) and a fully adjustable slicer. Its ingenious design means that you can fit both bowls inside each other, removing each one as it's used and leaving the washing up until last.

The wine smelled like the dead frog I once dissected in freshman biology class -- only not as good.
In the future, I'll try to stay away from terms like ethereal, sublime or orgasmic when describing the attributes in wine. Let me just say that the wines listed below are ones I have enjoyed for various sensory reasons that I hope I have described in a manner you will find useful.
2009 Entrada Sauvignon Blanc ($7): Not only an unbelievable value, this wine from Argentina is a refreshing mouthful of citruslike flavors. It has good acid balance and would be a nice porch-sipper or a good match with herb or vegetable dishes, such as pasta in a basil pesto sauce.
2007 Guenoc Chardonnay ($14): Round and richly flavored with just a kiss of oak, this medium-bodied chardonnay would make an excellent accompaniment to roasted chicken breast stuffed with chevre and sun-dried tomatoes.
2006 Cantele Salice Salentino ($13): From Puglia in the heel of Italy's boot, this is a red blend of obscure grapes that is an exceptional food wine. It has an aroma of ripe cherries and teaberry mint and flavors of plums with a subtle hint of oak. Excellently balanced, this wine would be a very nice match to grilled chicken or even stuffed and grilled flank steak.
2004 Beronia Rioja Reserva ($20): Aged for 18 months in barrels and another 18 months in bottle, this wine is quintessential Rioja with a soft and supple texture and round and ripe blackberry and cinnamon flavors. Has the feel and complexity of an aged Bordeaux at a fraction of the cost and would pair nicely with roasted pork tenderloin or prime rib.

The Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a further revised version of the popular wide-angle lens of the Leica M rangefinder system. Thanks to the latest developments in the fields of optics and precision engineering, the new 35 lens sets a whole new standard in the fast wide-angle lens portfolio. Regardless of whether it's a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, highcontrast available light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, the lens delivers persuasive arguments in any situation. In comparison with its predecessor, the new Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. now incorporates a floating element: the lenses behind the aperture blades are constructed as a floating group that changes its position relative to the front lens group during focusing to ensure that the Leica SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/35 mm ASPH. achieves equally outstanding imaging performance at closer focusing distances. Another new feature is a full-metal, rectangular, screw-mount lens hood that contributes significantly to the even more compact dimensions of the lens.
Even wide open, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. reveals performance characteristics without precedent in the field of compact 35 mm lenses: outstanding imaging performance over the entire focusing range, from infinity to minimum focus, excellent contrast, even in the finest structures, superb rendition of details across the entire image field, good field flattening and, stopped down to f2 and onwards, almost complete freedom from coma effects. It is hardly possible to improve this excellent optical performance by stopping down.

Aiken man arrested after 6-hour standoff
Posted: 2:06 PM Jan 12, 2013
Reporter: Christie Ethridge
Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013
AIKEN, S.C.-- An Aiken man is behind bars after a six-hour standoff.
Officers arrested 52-year-old John Callahan on Saturday.
Officers responded to the 400 block of Williamsburg Street after getting calls of shots fired.
When they got there, deputies say Callahan ran back into his home.
That's when officers made a perimeter around the house, and the standoff began.
Six hours later, deputies say they entered his house and took him into custody peacefully.
He's currently in the Aiken County Detention Center, charged with discharging a firearm within city limits.

Out of sight out of mind. This is why so many people are surprised when we tell them that many shark populations are facing extinction.
So whether you are like us and you absolutely love sharks and cannot imagine an ocean without them, or you simply realize the loss of the sharks from this planet has huge, far-reaching implications that cannot be ignored, the time to act is now. We must work together, take flight and save our sharks.
Sharks kill fewer than 4 humans on average each year, while humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks annually.
Sharks have been honed to perfection, having existed on this planet for over 400 million years.
Sharks play a vital role at the top of the food chain by maintaining balance in the oceans.
* An estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year (that works out to more than 10,000 sharks per hour).
Only a small number of countries have banned finning - many more need to be encouraged to enact legislation.
Many people assume that because they don't eat shark fin soup – then they can't possibly be contributing to the demise of the sharks and rays.

Could I become chemically dependent on marijuana?
Yes. When you're chemically dependent on marijuana, it means you crave it and you need to use more and more to get the same effect. You may have withdrawal symptoms when you stop using it, such as depressed feelings, trouble sleeping or nausea. Because marijuana is a lot stronger now than it used to be, people are also more likely to abuse it and become dependent on it than they were in the past.
Is marijuana use associated with other drug use?
Yes. Many people use legal drugs like alcohol or cigarettes before they start using marijuana. Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the United States. It's often the first illegal drug a person will try. Sometimes marijuana use leads to the use of other illegal drugs.

Hipsters vs. Raccoons: Critters Continue To Overrun Brooklyn
People move to New York to get away from the annoyances of the suburbs—the small-mindedness, the boredom, the raccoons who overturn their garbage cans.
The city's curative properties when it comes to small-mindedness and boredom are debatable, but one thing is for certain—the outer-boroughs offer no escape when it comes to raccoons. Brooklyn, in particular, is overrun with the nocturnal beasts these days, causing confusion for newly-arrived and long-time residents alike. Read More

Omaha Man Gets 5 Years for Distributing Crack Cocaine
June 26, 2012
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Frederick C. Newby, 58, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on June 25, 2012, to 5 years in prison by United States District Judge Laurie Smith Camp, for distributing more than 2 ounces of crack cocaine in North Omaha in August of 2011. Omaha police officers utilized a cooperating witness to purchase the crack cocaine from Newby who was a known crack dealer at the time. Newby was also ordered to serve a term of supervised release of 4 years after his release from prison and pay a special assessment of $100.
This case was investigated by the Omaha Police Department.

This is a very broad area of research – branching into energy, nanotechnology, and biotechnology; however, the primary focus of my work has been designing, fabricating, and characterizing materials for improved performance for applications including energy and electronics. In regards to energy storage, with the growing emphasis placed on efficient electronic packaging, embedded capacitors are important to furthering these technologies. These materials require high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss (low dissipation factor), increased capacitive density, wideband performance, and simple processability; however, currently, there are limited materials designed that satisfy these requirements. One approach includes using metamaterials, which present a new class of composites that can be utilized to extend the capabilities of materials beyond what is found in nature to meet requirements for the ever growing demand of new technologies and applications. Other approaches include using the idea of a ceramic nanocomposite or a metal-insulator nanocomposite. Specialties: Publications: Select Publications 1. Farhat, S., Hawley, M., et. al.

For safety and peace of mind, all Kommander mowers are equipped with a full-height ROPS.
All controls and indicators are neatly placed for quick, easy, user-friendly access.
Power defines the Kommander's hardworking engines. Whatever the mowing job, you can count on the Kommander to deliver power when you need it.
A simple twist of a dial lets you adjust the cutting height in precise 1/4" increments.
Wide-tread tires provide better traction and weight distribution to help protect your lawn.
Soft and roomy, the high back seat will keep you comfortable even on those extra-long mowing jobs.
All that power from the engine is delivered to the wheels and mower deck through a rugged, Hydro-Gear commercial ZT3100 transmission.
For your tools, lunch, and anything else too big or heavy for your pockets.
Keep your drink cup or tumbler always handy in the integrated cup holders.
There's plenty of legroom up front, thanks to a wide foot pan. it also makes entry and exit a snap.
Standard on the S-model and optional on the E-model, the bright LED headlight lets you continue mowing in low light conditions.
The seat slides a full 6" forward and back, letting you find just the right position for maximum personal comfort.
Dual operation levers provide the smooth, precise control you'll need for delicate trimming and work around trees and flowerbeds.

Dear Editor of the Los Angeles Times,
In his November 25 essay ("Only Fed-Up Voters Can Fix State's Damaged System for Picking Legislators"), George Skelton takes aim at the closed primary, defending a proposal for an open, non-partisan primary to produce more "moderate" candidates. His real aim, however, is the party system itself, and the Constitution that the parties were formed to protect.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties were born in times of constitutional crises. At their best, both parties historically have focused political debate on the Constitution, and worked to defend limited, constitutional government. Liberals long ago understood that to accomplish their goal — undermining the Constitution and building in its place a welfare state of unlimited scope and power — they first had to strip political parties of their power. During the first quarter of the 20th century liberals effectively dismantled the parties with "reforms" such as the direct primary, initiative, referendum, and recall. FDR then rebuilt one party as an agent of the New Deal welfare state then under construction, and today the Democratic Party remains a monument to government bureaucracy, entitlements, and preferences.
A non-partisan, open primary would make parties all but meaningless in California elections, especially the Republican Party, which has stood athwart the unconstitutional designs of the liberalism that drives the Democratic Party. Instead of debating opposing party platforms and principles, candidates would compete with one another to offer the most government loot, expanding the already sizable classes of citizens (and non-citizens) dependent on government favors and largesse. The public would see no alternative to the liberal, welfare state conception of government, because there would be no political organization to offer or defend an alternative. Candidates encouraged by such a system would be anything but "moderate."

Inspector General for the NYPD
Inspector General for the NYPD
Independent oversight would help the NYPD work more efficiently and effectively, while also ensuring that our civil liberties are protected.
THE NEED l SUPPORTERS l SHOW YOUR SUPPORT l IN THE NEWS l RESOURCES
Why do we need an Inspector General for the NYPD?
Investigation Needed is a mini-report series taking a closer look at unresolved controversies in the NYPD. |
- Inspectors General are a valuable and standard feature of government agencies. All federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies (including the CIA, FBI, and U.S. Department of Justice) and most NYC agencies (including the NYC Departments of Education, Parks, HPD, FDNY) have an IG.
- Inspectors General perform investigations to help ensure agencies are following the law; to identify waste, fraud, and abuse; to find deficiencies in agencies' programs that limit the ability to achieve their mission; to recommend corrective action; and to ensure appropriate transparency and oversight.
- Decades-long concerns about corruption, as well as more recent concerns about potential civil liberties violations in the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policies and the NYPD Intelligence Unit, reveal the need for an NYPD IG.
- While the Civilian Complaint Review Board and Internal Affairs Bureau investigate individual cases, no mechanism exists to provide for independent, secure investigations to ensure that NYPD policies and procedures are operating effectively and consistently with the law.
- The Los Angeles Police Department has an IG, and all five of the next-largest municipal police departments have some form of independent oversight with subpoena power.
How would an Inspector General benefit New York?
- Create the environment for a safer New York and more accountable, efficient NYPD.
- Protect citizens against police surveillance or other policies that violate the law.
- Provide actionable information to the NYPD, city, and public about suspect police policies.
- Eliminate costly and wasteful police procedures paid for by the taxpayers.
- Foster better police-community relations by increasing the public's confidence in the police.
Pass the NYPD Inspector General Act
With multiple controversies undermining the NYPD's credibility in communities across the city, and undermining morale within the department, this is an important moment to address the long-standing need for independent oversight of the NYPD. An independent Inspector General will restore trust, improve police procedures, protect civil liberties, and improve public safety.
Take Action
Help End Credit Discrimination
The use of credit reports to discriminate against job applicants is on the rise, with over 60% of employers nationwide using the credit histories of prospective employees to inform their hiring decisions.

Welcome, guest

The good news is that it is not as bad as many had expected. The bad news is, it's still bad. The Asia-Pacific hedge fund industry's total assets under management dropped by 36% in 2008 from $192 billion to $122.4 billion. This is better than the 50% or thereabouts drop that many had been expecting. But in reality, the fact that we are back to 2005 rather than 2004 is cold comfort for what the industry has been put through since the beginning of September 2008.
The wave of redemptions that occurred in the final months of 2008, can be witnessed by the industry's 30% assets drop in the second half. This followed on from the near 9% decline in the...

New Year's Eve, Mr BT and I celebrated our anniversary and 2011 with a gourmet romantic dinner. Our anniversary was actually the day before, but I had more time to prepare a lovely meal on Friday, so we had an anniversary/Shabbat/2011 special meal.
Last week, I found two beautiful goose breast fillets and some very large bright yellow quinces. I thought these would be two perfect ingredients for a romantic anniversary dinner. I made goose breast with a quince and red currant sauce, roasted butternut squash, Jerusalem artichokes and potato, and steamed broccoli. For dessert, I made a luscious quince tarte tatin. All washed down with the perfect anniversary wine: Saslove Winery's Marriage 2009 wine, which is made of three varieties of grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Syrah.
This year, Mr BT and I will be searching for a home to call our own. Something we have dreamed about for a long time. I hope that 2011 is filled with more foodie adventures that I can share with you. And, I hope that all of your hopes and dreams come true this year.
Mr BT and I wish you all a very happy, healthy, peaceful and delicious 2011.
180g (1 cup) butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
180g (1 cup) Jerusalem artichokes, peeled and cut into cubes
180g (1 cup) roasting potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 goose breast fillets, about 200g (7oz) each
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 piece of fresh ginger, about 2 1/2 cm (1 inch), minced
1 medium poached quince, diced
1 shallot, minced
4 tablespoons port
1 piece of fresh ginger, about 2 1/2 cm (1 inch), minced
100ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
1 strand of fresh red currants or 1/4 cup of thawed and drained fresh-frozen
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Place the butternut squash, Jerusalem artichoke and potato on a baking tray in one layer. Sprinkle the fresh thyme and massage in the olive oil until the vegetables are coated evenly with the thyme and the oil. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper and roast them for 15-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
After the vegetables are ready, preheat the oven to 220C (425F).
Season the goose breast with salt and pepper. Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Sear the goose, skin-side down, until golden. Turn the breast over and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the honey, mustard and ginger to the pan, and baste the goose a few times. Transfer the goose to a roasting pan with a rack and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Do not overcook. The goose should be slightly pink in the center.
Meanwhile, add the quince and shallot to the pan in which you seared the goose, keeping the goose fat in the pan to help thicken the sauce. Add the port to deglaze the pan, bring to the boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add the ginger and the white wine, return to the boil and simmer to reduce again. Season with salt and pepper, and add the red currants and chives.
To serve, place the roasted vegetables on the center of the plate, slice the goose breast and place on top and pour the sauce on top of the goose.

by David Lebovitz
The is one of the best tartes Tatin I have ever had and Mr BT thought so too. It is not too sweet and really shows off the quince.
6 Responses to "Ringing in 2011 with a Gourmet Dinner"
I am here from Mediterranea. Lovely blog. I've never cooked goose before but I love quinces and the whole dish sounds delicious.
Yassou Ivy,
Thank you very much. Your website is very nice and I love Greek food. I only started cooking goose recently. It is not as difficult to prepare as I had imagined.
What a fabulous menu, with such wonderful photos. Everything looks absolutely delicious. Wonderful combination of flavors in the sauce for the goose.
Where do you find goose breast? What about fresh red currants?
I wish you both all the best in 2011.
Hi Faye,
Happy 2011 to the both of you too! I haven't been able to find a source for fresh goose here. I have asked around and no one seems to know where to buy it. There must be some butcher who sells it since we have goose farms here. I bought frozen breasts and frozen red currants. I think the only place one could attempt to grow red currants are in the Golan. I have never seen fresh currants here.
Goose can be bought at various market butcheries, Shuk HaCarmel, Tikva,

I'v3e seen at Tiv Ta'am.Most israelis equate goose with pâté de foie gras or the grilled goose livers a la Avazi in hatikva neighborhood inherent cholestrol and cruel force feeding which is thankfully now outlawed in Israel
I wish you and your readers all the best for 2011
Thanks Dov for the info. I too am glad that force feeding of geese is illegal here.

Gainsborough to Ruskin: British Landscape Drawings & Watercolors in The Morgan Library & Museum This presentation of sixty-one images of works by thirty different artists is based on a 1994 exhibition at the Morgan. Exploring a period in the history of British art during which the role of landscape painting underwent a profound and lasting change, this presentation shows the ways in which that change was vitally dependent upon a transformation in the conception of landscape drawings and watercolors. In early-eighteenth-century England what we would regard as landscape drawings were essentially topographical renderings. Their primary function was documentary, providing an accurate visual record of a specific site. Within the hierarchy of English taste, such works occupied a lowly rung, being deemed more the product of craftsmanship than of imagination and artistry. We begin to see a marked shift toward a more painterly and subjective approach, however, in the work of topographers from the middle of the eighteenth century. Increasingly, many of England's most creative and visionary artists found their principal source of inspiration in nature, from the quiet climes of the British countryside to the rugged grandeur of the Alps, to the ancient sites of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Indeed, one of the themes developed in this presentation is the importance of travel and the search for new and exotic visual splendors. Nearly one half of these drawings depict sites outside England. It is possible to speak of an emerging national school of landscape artists in England by the beginning of the nineteenth century. While some worked both in oil and the various drawing media, others chose to express themselves almost exclusively in pen, chalk, wash, and, above all, watercolor. As this presentation so ably demonstrates, there existed among these landscape artists an extraordinary diversity of styles, subject matter, and technique.

Outsourced Manufacturers Struggle With Uncertain DemandDespite sustained industry efforts throughout 2012, the goal of accelerating inventory velocity remains elusive for the global outsourced manufacturing business, contributing to the sluggish growth outlook for the first half of 2013. To be sure, the new year has delivered some reasons for optimism, with improvements in select macroeconomic data such as a boost in China's gross domestic product, rising purchasing indexes and stimulus-led growth in major markets like Japan. Nonetheless, IHS believes the outsourced manufacturing industry is likely to experience tepid growth for the first six months of this year, based on current estimates of a 4.5 percent expansion to yield revenue just slightly north of $400 billion. Accompanying the soft growth is the slow velocity of inventory, which is driving up costs and delaying time to market. Improved inventory velocity was a key theme for the outsourced manufacturing industry in 2012. And at the start of last year, the impetus for hastening inventory velocity was in strong evidence for outsourced manufacturers. Where's the beef? Companies across the electronics industry believed victory was within reach, as they expected demand to modestly improve, supply shortages stemming from the Thailand floods to abate, and a heightened internal focus to all culminate in better inventory velocity. The year started off on a strong note, with demand rising in several end markets such as notebooks and consumer electronics. Fast forward 12 months later, and the hoped-for improvement has not really materialized. Looking at IHS data for the largest outsourced manufacturing companies, inventory-to-sales ratios are right back to where they were one year ago. In fact, for many companies, the ratios are at their levels five years ago, just before the start of the Great Global Recession. So what happened? First, the demand momentum at the start of 2012 failed to hold through the rest of the year. Second, new non-traditional markets for outsourced manufacturing -- such as aerospace/defense, industrial and life sciences -- all experienced varying growth patterns throughout 2012. When combined, these segments increased their outsourcing activity at a rate faster than underlying revenue expanded. This was because companies involved in the areas ramped up new programs and further embraced outsourced manufacturing. Segment, customer variability As a result, revenue growth rates for outsourced manufacturers varied dramatically from product to product and from customer to customer. The combination of mixed growth, along with a large quantity of new program ramps, left more than just a few outsourced manufacturing partners saddled with a higher volume of inventory than planned. Looking ahead to 2013, IHS still sees improved inventory velocity as a key theme for the outsourced manufacturing industry. However, the effort may not be much more successful than it was in 2012. While periods of relatively sluggish growth historically have translated into much faster inventory velocity, the outlook this year for future growth is much more uncertain. This means customers are more apt to ask for longer inventory holding periods amid uncertain demand and new production ramps. And once again, such a development will slow inventory velocity. The key, then, for the outsourced manufacturing industry in 2013, will be how much discipline it maintains in accelerating inventory velocity when confronted with copious customer accommodation requests. To learn more about this topic, look to the IHS iSuppli report titled "Outsourced Manufacturing Forecast Unchanged, but Macro Headwinds Linger." Related posts: |

Weightless helps maintain normal body weight by combining herbs traditionally used to reduce excess fluids from your body. Weightless is based on traditional tea formulas popular in Europe as slimming and cleansing teas containing fennel and hibiscus. We have added uva ursi, red clover, cleavers, parsley and buchu to enhance their effect.
How does it taste? It's a pleasantly aromatic balance of sweet and sour herbal tastes with citrus notes.
Brewing Directions:
For maximum benefit, herbal tea must be properly prepared. Pour 8 oz. freshly boiled water over a tea bag in a cup. Cover cup and steep 10-15 minutes. These steps directly influence the yield of beneficial components that will end up in your teacup! Gently squeeze the tea bag to release the remaining extract.
Drink 3 cups daily, one cup before each meal, for up to 2 weeks, then pause.
Tea containing bitter fennel fruit and uva ursi leaf are not for long-term daily use without medical advice.
Not for use during pregnancy, while nursing, or by children under 12 years.
Side Effects:
Teas containing uva ursi leaf may cause nausea or vomiting in individuals and children with sensitive stomachs.

The Georgia Bulldogs' disappointing 2010 baseball season ended on a down note in a loss to the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday afternoon, but there were some signs that the Diamond Dogs were beginning to turn around their fortunes.
A bullpen meltdown and poor situational hitting caused the Georgia Bulldogs to lose Sunday afternoon's baseball game, allowing the Florida Gators to complete the series sweep.
The Georgia Bulldogs carried an improbable 3-2 lead into the ninth inning against division-leading Florida on Friday night, but two errors in the Gators' final turn at the plate caused the Diamond Dogs to drop the 2010 baseball season's latest one-run game.
The Georgia Bulldogs will face the Georgia State Panthers in the last midweek outing of the 2010 baseball season this Tuesday night. Dawg Sports explains why the confrontation of the Diamond Dogs' pitching staff with the GSU batting order is a bad matchup for the Red and Black.
The Tennessee Volunteers completed a three-game series sweep of the Georgia Bulldogs in baseball on Sunday, but they shouldn't have. Poor coaching cost the Diamond Dogs the decision, and Dawg Sports is now calling for a new pitching coach.
The 2010 baseball season has been disastrous for the Georgia Bulldogs. What have the Diamond Dogs done to prepare their slumping pitching staff for the 2011 campaign?
The Georgia Bulldogs got back on the winning track on Wednesday night, beating the Western Carolina Catamounts in a 13-10 baseball game.
The Georgia Bulldogs suffered their second straight SEC baseball series sweep, dropping a Sunday doubleheader in which the division-leading South Carolina Gamecocks dealt the Diamond Dogs the season's first shutout and ninth one-run loss, respectively.
The Georgia Bulldogs ended their losing streak with a low-scoring midweek victory over the Winthrop Eagles in Wednesday evening's baseball game at Foley Field.
2010 has been a difficult year for the Georgia Bulldogs baseball team. Is Brady Wiederhold's pitching staff getting worse? Dawg Sports looks at the Red and Black hurlers to diagnose what ails them.

Former Meretz MK Avshalom Vilan announced his return to politics Sunday, after the party set its primary date for November 11.
Vilan served as an MK from 1999 to 2009, and is currently the chairman of Meretz's central committee and secretary-general of the Israeli Farmers Federation. He was fifth on Meretz's candidate list in 2009, but the party only won three seats in the current Knesset.
"Because of the insane Right's delusions, we must rebuild the true Left in the State of Israel and bring it back to the heart of the political arena," Vilan said. "My experience and energy can be a significant contribution to this effort."
On Saturday, Meretz published the regulations for its primary, which will take place in less than a month.
"We are at the opening of an election that will be critical for the future of Israel and the Israeli Left, which will turn Meretz into the central left-wing party in Israel," the party explained. "We are prepared and full of energy ahead of this race, and call on everyone to help us succeed."
The party opened an online campaign, posting photos of MKs, activists and other party members on its Facebook page, sporting bright-green T-shirts that read "My heart is on the Left."
Each person photographed explained why they vote Meretz.
MK Nitzan Horowitz said, "Because the time has come to separate religion and state."
Jewish Agency deputy chairman Rany Trainin said, "Because the Left is peace and social justice."
Dylan from Tel Aviv was photographed with her dog, and said: "Because only the Left cares about animal rights."
The primary will take place on November 11 in the afternoon at the Tel Aviv Fairgrounds. Members who wish to vote must register by October 23 at noon, which is also the deadline to submit candidacy.
Meretz MKs may not use their offices in the Knesset for their primary run, and the maximum a candidate may spend is NIS 19,250, of which NIS 11,400 may come from donations.

Review of the 2013 Toyota Prius c

Full 2013 Toyota Prius c Review
What's New for 2013
Besides some upper trim interior materials making their way into the lower trim levels, the Toyota Prius C returns unchanged for 2013.
When it comes to all-out high-mpg cars, you can't overlook the venerable Toyota Prius. With four models to choose from, there's a good chance one might fit your needs. The smallest of the Prii, the 2013 Toyota Prius C, manages to distinguish itself on a number of levels.
As the entry-level Prius, the C model undercuts the standard Prius liftback's price by a considerable margin. In exchange, you'll have to sacrifice some refinement in terms of ride quality and interior materials, but we don't consider either of these deal breakers. On the plus side, the Prius C gains a bit more agility and responsiveness via its smaller dimensions and lighter weight.
Of course, the Prius C performs when it comes to fuel economy, too. With an EPA-estimated 50 mpg in combined driving conditions, there is simply no other subcompact hatchback that even comes close. In our long-term experience, the Prius C nearly meets that estimate.
Overall, we give the Prius C high marks, but we would advise a closer look at some features and options during the decision process. In particular, the 16-inch wheels and sportier steering has the unfortunate side effect of increasing the turning radius by a significant 6 feet. We'd also recommend trying out the "SofTex" faux leather seat upholstery beforehand, as it feels nowhere close to a material found in nature. If heated seats are a priority for you, however, there's no escaping this odd vinyl covering.
But even with these faults, we have no hesitation recommending the 2013 Toyota Prius C over its closest (but still distant) competitors. The 2013 Honda Insight is similarly priced, but is handily beat when it comes to miles per gallon. The same goes for the 2013 Honda CR-Z, which only seats two, though it does feature a sportier image. If power and acceleration are secondary concerns, we'd even suggest the Prius C to those shopping conventional gas-only-powered hatchbacks; it's that hard to overlook.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2013 Toyota Prius C is offered in numbered trim levels from One to Four. The base Prius C One comes with 15-inch steel wheels, automatic climate control, full power accessories, a folding rear seat, a 3.5-inch multifunction display, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and a USB/iPod interface.
The Prius C Two adds cruise control, a height-adjustable driver seat, a center console storage bin and armrest, 60/40-split-folding rear seats, a faux leather dash panel, a cargo cover and a six-speaker sound system. Upgrading to the Prius C Three gets you navigation with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, keyless ignition/entry, satellite radio and voice control. Also included is Toyota's Entune smartphone integration system that adds Bing search functions, streaming Internet audio and traffic, sports and stock information. Alloy wheels are available as an option.
The range-topping Four adds alloy wheels, heated mirrors, foglights, a faux-leather-wrapped steering wheel and seat upholstery and heated front seats. Options for the Four include 16-inch wheels and quicker-ratio steering. A sunroof is available on both the Three and Four.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2013 Toyota Prius C is powered by a similar but smaller hybrid powertrain than its bigger Prius siblings. A 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine produces 73 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque, while a pair of electric motor/generators supplies an additional 60 hp. The gas engine acts as a main propulsion source as well as a generator to charge the nickel-metal hydride batteries. The electric motors also contribute to propulsion and charge the battery pack under deceleration. Combined power output comes to 99 hp and is sent to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
In Edmunds performance testing, the Prius C needed 11.3 seconds to reach 60 mph, which is quite slow even for a subcompact car.
Of course with any Prius, the most important numbers relate to fuel economy, and the Prius C does not disappoint. EPA-estimated mileage stands at 53 mpg city/46 mpg highway and 50 mpg in combined driving, making it the most economical non-plug-in hybrid on the market.
Standard safety features on all 2013 Toyota Prius C models include stability control, traction control, antilock brakes (front discs, rear drums), hill start assist, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, a driver knee airbag and unique front seat cushion airbags that help prevent occupants from sliding under the seatbelts in the event of a collision. In Edmunds brake testing, a Prius C came to a stop from 60 mph in a better-than-average 118 feet.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the Prius C the highest possible rating of "Good" in the frontal-offset, side-impact and roof strength tests.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, the Prius C features a sleek, modern design with a mix of the familiar as well as the unconventional. Centrally located gauges are mounted high atop the dashboard, which can be a bit odd at first, but makes for easier reading. To its detriment, the cabin's plastics are several steps below the materials you'll find in other subcompacts like the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent. The cloth seat upholstery is nothing special, but it's certainly preferable to the optional "faux leather." The latter may be made from eco-friendly materials, but it's probably the cheapest-feeling material we've sat on in quite some time.
In terms of comfort, the Prius C presents a mixed bag, particularly for taller passengers. The driving position is slightly compromised by the lack of enough extension for the steering wheel's telescoping function, and the tall, upright dash can be hard to peer over. The front passenger may also take issue with the glovebox that intrudes into the footwell. Backseat occupants will likely fare better, as there's ample head- and legroom for adults, and the fully flat floor allows for even more flexibility.
The base Prius C One's rear seat folds down as one piece, but Two and above feature a 60/40 split for greater passenger/cargo versatility. With all the seats in use, cargo capacity stands at 17.1 cubic feet, which is about what you'd expect from a hatchback in this class.
Driving Impressions
The Prius liftback has never been described as fun or engaging from behind the wheel, but the 2013 Toyota Prius C manages to liven things up. Its smaller footprint and more advantageous positioning of hybrid components allow for a bit more nimbleness, though it's still a far cry from conventional hatchbacks. Acceleration is comparatively slow, but power is perfectly acceptable for around-town driving and getting up to highway speeds.
As expected, fuel economy is outstanding. Outside of a plug-in hybrid, you're not going to do better than a Prius C. An unfortunate downside to the economy-focused mission, however, is a noticeable degradation in ride quality. More severe road imperfections are met with an uncharacteristic harshness and, combined with noticeable wind noise at higher freeway speeds, give the Prius C a budget-car feel.

Wind tax credit may end up in transportation bill
The amendment would extend the PTC for one year.
"Colorado stands to suffer a huge economic blow if Congress can't get its act together and extend this critical tax credit," Bennet said in a statement Wednesday. "This tax credit has bipartisan support, and Colorado companies are counting on us to get it across the finish line. It's time to act."
The Denver Post reported that the House was expected to vote on parts of the transportation bill Thursday and the Senate is likely to take it up after next week's recess at the end of February, though Bennet's amendment has not been accepted yet and is not guaranteed a vote.
About 1,700 people are employed in Colorado by Vestas Wind Systems, the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer. Many of those jobs are in Windsor. In January, Vestas said failure to extend the tax credit could affect 1,600 jobs in the U.S.
The PTC expires at the end of this year, and wind energy companies such as Vestas have been lobbying for its extension as soon as possible.

Brave St. Louis columnist rips absurdity of The Cardinal Way
If you're a baseball fan like me, and you don't really like the St. Louis Cardinals, you were probably just a little sick of the endless conversations during last October's postseason about "The Cardinal Way." If you're not familiar, The Cardinal Way is a hacky columnist mindset that essentially believes that the St. Louis Cardinals play the game of baseball the right way (whatever that means), and don't engage in the "nefarious" (or whatever) activities that players on other teams do (unless they do, in which case the narrative is completely phrased differently).
Needless to say, it's a bit of a tired talking point and one that has been beaten so far into the ground that it's almost made its way through the Earth's crust. On Wednesday, a columnist spoke out against this narrative and hopefully put it to bed. But the most interesting part about this situation was the outlet he writes for - the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
