ODU Hosting Symposium on Rising Economic Powers: China and India
Old Dominion University and Wiley-Blackwell, publisher of "Corporate Governance: An International Review," will host the first Research Symposium on Corporate Governance in China and India Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24-25, at the Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel.
Registration for the symposium will begin at 4 p.m. today, followed by a reception at 6 p.m.
The symposium will feature keynote speeches by prominent governance experts from China and India, research paper presentations and roundtable discussions with practitioners and academics.
Anil K. Gupta, who is widely regarded as one of the world's leading experts on business strategy and globalization, will give the keynote address this evening. Gupta has had articles published in the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today. He has written more than 60 papers and four books, including "The Quest for Global Dominance" (2001) and "Smart Globalization" (2003). His newest book, "The Battle for China and India," is scheduled for release later this year.
Minxin Pei, a senior associate in the China Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, will give the keynote address Saturday evening. His research focuses on democratization in developing countries, economic reform and governance in China, and U.S.-China relations. His research has been published in prestigious journals, including Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs, and in numerous publications such as the Financial Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek International and the International Herald Tribune.
The symposium was conceived to encourage research on corporate governance issues relating to China and India, countries that are rapidly ascending as economic powers and playing important roles in international trade and investment. Increasingly, international investors are entering these markets, and Chinese and Indian firms are raising capital globally. As these countries' interactions with the global economy increase, knowledge of corporate governance in China and India is becoming more critical for business executives, policymakers and academic researchers, according to the organizers of the symposium.

Bartending isn't quite as easy as it is made out. Acquiring a license is only step 1, within the intricate process of obtaining a bartending job. There are certain perceptions people in general have of bartenders, it is expected they should possess a certain aura, a persona if you like that is friendly but not overly confident witty and all knowing. But in all honesty true bartending job requires that a bartender be able to work under a lot of scrutiny and quite alot of the time, hard environments.
Think of it this way being called upon by numerous people, screaming shouting various brands of liquor. One of the keys to a bartending job is personality, but at the same time he has to be able to perform and sell liquor and to be able to make any drink promptly to a professional standard.
Bartender jobs in the inner city are as common as the air we breathe, but in saying this some people still have a hard time find such opportunities. It's not really because you aren't able to do the job, its mainly about face presenting yourself well and getting noticed for all the good things.

Continuing their recent trend of re-signing free agents, the Cardinals announced the signing of OL Jeremy Bridges to a three-year contract Thursday afternoon. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
The 6-4, 326-pound Bridges played in all 16 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2009 and had four starts at left tackle. In his first start in place of the injured Mike Gandy, he excelled matched up against Vikings Pro Bowl DE Jared Allen in a 30-17 Arizona victory.
Bridges signed with Arizona early last September after playing three seasons with the Panthers. He originally joined the Cardinals in 2004 and played two seasons in Arizona after he was claimed off of waivers from the Eagles.
Bridges figures to compete with the promising Brandon Keith for the starting job at right tackle in 2010, with former first-round draft pick Levi Brown expected to replace Gandy, an unrestricted free agent who is not expected to return to the team.
On Wednesday the Cardinals re-upped with TEs Anthony Becht and Stephen Spach.

Are you considering using a mobile phone jammer in your building or your place of business? If so, you are probably curious about how mobile phone jammers actually work -- and what effect they have on cell phones.
When you use a mobile phone jammer, a lower power radio signal is broadcast. This signal is capable of cutting off communication between the cell phone and its cellular base stations. When this happens, all the mobile phones in the effected area will show "No Service" -- and incoming calls are blocked. To the caller, it simply seems as if the mobile phone is turned off.
Although jamming mobile phones causes them to have no service, certain pre-defined zones are not blocked. By default, these frequency zones include…
*EMS bands
*Fire bands
*Police bands
*Medical services pager bands
Therefore, when you use a mobile phone jammer, you don't have to worry about putting yourself or anyone else in danger. Police, fire, and EMS radio users as well as pager users can still communicate, but your customers, patrons, or students won't be disturbed by non-emergency mobile phone chatter. A cell phone scrambler can provide a quiet environment.
Once the mobile jammer is turned off, the phones will automatically reestablish communication with the cellular base stations -- and those affected by the jammer will once again be able to receive cellular services.
It should be noted that using mobile phone jammers does not damage phones in any way.
Here is an example situation where a mobile phone jammer would have been useful:

Dan Radcliffe Interviews Helena Bonham Carter for Interview MagazineBonham Carter Interviews
In a bit of a reversal of roles, actor Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) gets the chance to interview one Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) in the newest issue of Interview Magazine. The Harry Potter film alums discuss Ms. Bonham-Carter's twenty-five plus year career and go through what it takes to continue on for so long in their chosen business. Specifically, she speaks about her non-training and overcoming fears about that when working with classically trained actors, "I certainly suffer from a slight inferiority complex when I step into a room of other actors because I've never trained... Everybody has an inferiority complex when they step into a room. But then when you have children and you get older, it doesn't really matter. When I was young I had so many inferiority complexes. I had an inferiority complex because I didn't go to university. I had an inferiority complex because I didn't train. Then it gets tiring. And you do get bored of it."
The conversation turns to Harry Potter, when Mr. Radcliffe inquires about portraying unique and different roles in British cinema. Quote:
RADCLIFFE: Your Harry Potter character, Bellatrix Lestrange, is one of the scariest characters in the books. But I think it's fair to say that she is very playful and quite sexy as well.
BONHAM CARTER: When they sent the part, I thought, What am I going to do here? Because, actually, on the page, she wasn't all there, so I thought, Well, you've got to be noticed. And Bellatrix-kids were terrified of her. So I think, Okay, I've got to be scary. But then also, if you're with kids, you want to have fun being naughty.
My son, Billy, would ask, 'Do you have to be the witch or the queen tomorrow?' I thought, Well, that's pretty much my life.—Helena Bonham Carter
RADCLIFFE: Do you think you take inspiration from kids a lot? Because I do. They're very honest in how they act and how they are in the world.
BONHAM CARTER: Oh, yeah. They are. And I also think there's a lot of Peter Pan about me anyway. I never really wanted to grow up. I grew up really young. I moved out when I was 13-that's when I started acting. Dad was really ill-he was pretty much paralyzed—so there was a part of me that felt like I had to become responsible.
RADCLIFFE: You thought that you had to provide. Or help, at least.
BONHAM CARTER: Yeah. I was trying to make up for what had happened to him. I wasn't even conscious of it. There was a lot of vicarious living because he was paralyzed. I thought that if I did something, it would make it better somehow.
RADCLIFFE: Which you probably did in some ways.
BONHAM CARTER: In a way, I did.The interview continues, with discussion of Ms. Bonham-Carter's latest projects, along with her process for preparing for a role. The full interview can be read via this link, but a quick caution to parents as this interview contains some mature language.

ASUS, a global leader in the new digital era, today announces VivoTab?, a thin and light tablet featuring Windows 8. With an MSRP starting from US$799, VivoTab? has an 11.6? multi-touch HD display, Wacom? digitizer stylus and Intel? Atom? dual-core processor for an excellent combination of performance and energy efficiency. Its optional Mobile Dock offers increased productivity too, thanks to its full keyboard and a built-in battery that gives up to 19 hours? mobile use.
Enhanced performance, incredible energy efficiency
ASUS VivoTab? has a 1.8GHz Intel? Atom? Z2760 dual-core processor with enhanced performance and incredible energy efficiency allowing Windows 8 to run both, the latest software and legacy applications, giving users a wide choice of software for every need. VivoTab??s 11.6? multi-touch display has a pin-sharp 1366 x 768 HD resolution with vibrant colors, wide viewing angles and superior outdoor visibility, thanks to the amazing brightness of its Super IPS+ technology. ASUS TruVivid technology enhances image clarity still further by reducing the display thickness, while scratch-resistant Corning? Fit glass with anti-fingerprint coating keeps the screen crystal-clear.
Flexible control for intuitive use
Flexibility is key with ASUS VivoTab?, whatever the task in hand. Multi-touch gives full fingertip control with Windows Store apps, while the Wacom? digitizer stylus offers extreme precision with Desktop apps. When connected to its new Mobile Dock with streamlined ?hidden hinge? design, VivoTab? is instantly transformed into a notebook, complete with keyboard, large multi-touch touchpad and two USB 2.0 ports for unprecedented productivity. Better still, the Mobile Dock extends VivoTab??s 10.5-hour battery life by up to nine hours, for an unbelievable 19 hours? mobile use.
Powerful, practical and extremely portable
ASUS VivoTab? is powerful and practical, but it?s also supremely portable. Its sleek metallic design is a mere 8.7mm thin and 675g light, and innovative Nano Molding technology ensures a tactile finish that?s as sturdy as it is stylish. Quad speakers with ASUS SonicMaster technology means VivoTab? sounds as good as it looks too, while the 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus five-element lens and large f/2.2 aperture delivers best-in-class image capture.

Hello, fabulous friends! We are well into October and I've been amazed at how rapidly the mood and the mindset has shifted into the holiday swing. Invitations are coming in and going out as the season of festivities begins.
After a carefree summer, fall is yet again an opportunity to freshen up on our etiquette as both hosts and guests. One surefire way to be remembered as a thoughtful guest is to bring your gracious host a token of appreciation. Scented candles and flowers, while lovely, don't make the cut. One is too driven by personal preferences, the other requires immediate attention of an already busy party. So what's a gift-giving guest to do? My solution: surprise them with something useful, novel and memorable.
Enter, the rough luxe appeal of this soapstone serving tray from UncommonGoods. Gourmands, artists, oenophiles and Martha-worshipping social butterflies will all love the simple sophistication of this unique gift. Generous enough in scale for wild versatility yet the perfect size for bestowing upon your host as she opens the door.
Like all products from the online retailer, this versatile tray represents their special blend of artisan creativity at accessible prices. I selected it for its varied uses and wide appeal. A foodie friend might treasure it for artful presentation of cheese, a wine enthusiast might use it for clever labeling methods of an array of varietals. A crafty hostess may decide this is the perfect surface upon which to sketch out her next bright idea. Families might leverage it's chalkboard surface as the perfect place to write playful messages. That's the beauty of it: your delighted recipient can decide for him or herself how best incorporate it into their lives.
UncommonGoods has been on my radar for years. Their fittingly "uncommon" goods do indeed make gift giving easy for everyone on your list. While I've highlighted the value of hostess gifts, Christmas is quickly approaching and you'll need to start sourcing perfect presents sooner rather than later. Why not offer an artisan approach from interesting options like these from their holiday gift guide? Wine lovers will delight in their curated goods and gift ideas for enjoying the perfect glass. Is your hostess more into handcrafted products? This is where UG shines. They offer many from which to choose.
As the name suggests, these are not your run of the mill products. Sourced from far and wide, each product in their lovely online boutique is carefully chosen with sustainability and giving back in mind. These aren't "big box" items that are mass produced. Think of UncommonGoods as a window into the world of smaller vendors and niche products. As a business owner myself, I appreciate their focus on the unusual and unique.
So... back to this pretty little board. It comes beautifully packaged in a rustic burlap bag. I was very impressed with its artful presentation right out of the shipping box. No wrapping is necessary. The soapstone board comes complete with chalk and is ready to use. Whether you are sending it across the country or carrying it across the street, it makes a lasting and positive impression. I intend to stockpile a few for last minute invites and unexpected guests. Did I mention I'm also keeping one for myself? You might consider doing the same!
How do you enter to win this pretty gift? It's easy. Drop a comment below to say hello. Then show a little love to the Uncommon Goods facebook page here & sign up for their email updates here. Ta-da! You're entered.
Welcome to the fall season of giving, friends. I wish you luck and hope you win this lovely little token of my appreciation of you.
Fine print: must enter by Monday October 21, 2013 @ 11:59 PM CST.
**** And the winner is... Brenda! Congratulations to you, Brenda!
We hope you enjoy the lovely gift from our giveaway sponsor Uncommon Goods! ****

Controversial UKIP candidate urged to stand down after VAT revelations (From Halesowen News)

Controversial UKIP candidate urged to stand down after VAT revelations
9:40am Thursday 15th May 2014 in News Exclusive By Adam Smith
CONTROVERSIAL Halesowen and Rowley Regis UKIP candidate Dean Perks has been urged to stand down after it emerged he owed the taxman more than £10,000 in missed VAT payments.
Mr Perks, who runs property renovations company Changing Rooms, failed in a three year battle with HM Revenue and Customs after they ruled he was VAT registered when he thought he was not.
Mr Perks is also standing for UKIP in next week's Dudley Council elections for Upper Gornal and Woodsetton.
Leader of Sandwell Council Councillor Darren Cooper urged the UKIP candidate to immediately withdraw from the parliamentary and council races.
He said: "Both MPs and councillors have a great responsibility to make important decisions on public money so how can Mr Perks have any credibility when he cannot even run his own finances without getting in trouble over VAT.
"He should stand down or UKIP should deselect him."
Cllr Cooper added: "This is the man who said he looked up to Enoch Powell and believes Islamic Sharia Law has a place in our society, he is a laughing stock.
"And this joke candidate is indicative of all the stories across the country about the kind of people that UKIP attract."
Chairman of Halesowen and Rowley Regis Conservatives councillor Jeff Hill also questioned Mr Perks candidacy. He said: "As Conservatives, we want taxes to be as low as possible for everybody, but that means that everyone - businesses and individuals - must pay their fair share.
"For a parliamentary candidate to have attempted to gain an advantage over law-abiding competitors, by avoiding paying tax that he properly owed, is bound to raise questions over his suitability."
Mr Perks told the News the episode was down to him being misinformed by his accountant and not through trying to avoid tax.
He said: "I was never guilty of not paying VAT, I have never refused to pay a bill back in my life. I am paying back what I owe now.
"I was misinformed by my accountant who told me I was deregistered when I was in fact not, so when I had a tax inspection a couple of years after they clearly wanted their chunk of my earnings.
"I went through several tribunals and appeals as I thought it was a genuine mistake, I even asked Dudley North MP Ian Austin for help but got none."
He added: "I have now received a lump sum from my accountant concerning the matter, and I am paying back what I owe."
"It is a disgrace Councillor Dean Cooper is poking around in my finances and I shall be seeking legal advice about his comments.
"It is an obvious case of attacking the candidate because Labour know they are going to get a kicking at the polls."
The full HMRC tribunal concerning Mr Perks can be found at http://www.financeandtaxtribunals.gov.uk/judgmentfiles/j6351/TC01930.pdf.

Want to explore the Alamo and Taj Mahal right here in the city? Historic stones and artifacts are embedded in the Tribune Tower; spend a few minutes walking around and you'll discover you're just a stone's throw away from history.
If you spend any time downtown, you've probably walked right by them, a ton of times. Embedded in the beautiful gothic architecture of the landmark Tribune Tower are stones that can take you on a tour of world history.
Next time you're walking down Michigan Avenue, take a couple seconds to take in the history. There are artifacts from all over the world, like a piece from the Great Pyramid dating back to the year 2600 B.C.
From the Parthenon, to ancient Aztec ruins, to the Arc de Triomphe, House of Parliament and Pearl Harbor, there are stones from every state in the U.S. and every continent on the planet.
To answer a common question, they are all real.
Michael McMains is a docent with the Chicago Architecture Foundation. He studies the city's beautiful buildings and helps guide visitors and natives alike about what makes them special.
He showed us one stone on loan, a moon rock that is 3.2 billion years old.
The newest acquisition is a piece from one of the World Trade Center's melted beams, donated to the Tribune in 2002.
It was the vision of Tribune founder, Colonel Robert McCormick, who wanted to show the global reach of his paper's correspondents and show off the Chicago headquarters as a world-class city.
"Once he collected the pieces, he'd give it to the public so that being connected to the Tribune is being connected to all these famous places from all over the world," McMains said.
You might understand how you'd acquire a piece like this, but questions have arisen over the years of how you obtain so many stones from all over the world. Colonel McCormick insisted all of the historical artifacts be obtained through "honorable means."
Maybe you won't make it to the Forbidden City in Peking or an Old Dublin General Post Office, but you can get close, right along Michigan Avenue.
205 N. Michigan Avenue

Eddie Howe to return to Bournemouth?
The favourite to take over at AFC Bournemouth is former manager Eddie Howe.
He left the Cherries nearly two years ago to manage Championship Burnley. Reports suggest Howe is keen to re-join family on the south coast and that the clubs are discussing compensation.
He's likely to be accompanied by his backroom staff - including assistant manager Jason Tindall.
Howe took training at Burnley as normal on Wednesday and this morning, as the clubs discuss a financial package.
The 34 year old made more than 200 appearances for Bournemouth and managed them for two years - during which time he masterminded promotion to League One.
Since his departure though, the club has failed to replicate such success, under former managers Lee Bradbury and most recently Paul Groves.

Aussie Rules Final at Charlie Harper's Bar
This weekend we'll be showing the AFL Grand Final on the Big Screen here at Charlie Harper's.
An always popular event, but even more special this year with the 'Dockers' in the final for the first time in 19 years!
We'll be offering 75c beers and free 'Snags' at Half Time.
Match starts at 11:30am, Cheap Beer from 11:00am. FREO Way to Go!
Phnom Penh Chili Cook Off
Well, following on from our First Place win in the Sihanoukville Chili Cook Off, we decided to take the trip with our own Charlie's Chili Recipe up to Phnom Penh.
The venue was the Lone Star Bar, a place well known for their own Tex Mex style food offerings.
Ten Chili's were entered and the competition was pretty impressive.
Very pleased to say though, we came a credible 4th place with the Judges, but managed to gain a 1st place with the People's Choice. There were around 30 people in attendance, so winning the Peoples Choice was a great result for us.
Thanks to the Lone Star for organising the event, we'll be back there again next year for sure.
Joker Draw Winner
Well, the 1st Charlie Harper's Bar Joker Draw was finally won at $698, what a great night!!
The winner was kind enough to generously buy a couple of rounds for the bar too.
This weekend saw the Joker Draw start again at $250 with one lucky guy winning $50 drinks voucher for Charlie Harper's!
You have to be in it, to win it guys! Call down every Saturday night before 10:30pm. 1 ticket $1, buy 3 and get a free beer.
Post Election Party
To Celebrate the end of this weekend's elections, and bar closures, we're throwing a party at Charlie Harper's!
We can't guarantee that our leader Hun Sen will attend, but we'll be having free beer for the first half hour anyway, so join us at Midnight Sunday 3rd June, or earlier
Sihanoukville Chili Cook Off
I've always been a huge fan of Chili, often had it for breakfast, dinner & evening snack …. much the same as Pizza!
Anyway, we're pretty pleased with our Chili here at Charlie Harper's Bar, but i've tasted a few other good ones around Sihanoukville. So, lets give credit were it's due and recognise the Best Chili in Town.
We're looking for 10 Chili Makers, 10 Judges and a whole heap of people who enjoy Chili & Beer.
There'll be Certificates, Prizes, T-Shirts, Beer and of course some Great Tasting Chili.
Just to mention as well, proceeds will be donated to a local charity.
Please put a note in your diary and tell your friends!
Happy Birthday A'nita
One of the new girls here at Charlie Harper's celebrated her birthday last night …
A few of the others …..
Jag the Joker!
From this coming Saturday Night we'll be giving away $200 for a correct Joker 'Pick'. PLUS $200 of free beer for the whole bar should the Joker be selected.
For those that know, it's been at the Walkabout in Phnom Penh for around 8 years and has proven to be extremely popular with the Cash Prize raising at high as $28,000!!
Tickets are for sale now at $1, buy $3 dollars worth and you get a free beer! Can't be bad.
Obviously, you have to be in the bar at the time of the draw (10:45pm) to win it. Tickets that go unclaimed after 5 mins will be binned and another one chosen till we have a winner!
Tickets can be purchased all week right up until 10:30pm on Saturday night.
Hope to see you here.
Party for Srey Pov
Had very little notice to sort out a party for the girlfriend of a friend. They wanted to put on a free keg and food for all comers, but with less than 24hrs notice …. no trouble!
First thing in the morning the girls were out buying balloons, shopping at the markets and of course getting the cake. Beer was never going to be a problem
Things quickly came together and culminated in a good turnout and a great night had by all, particularly the 'Birthday Girl', who by all accounts had a wonderful time, but finished off a little worse for wear.
Here's a couple of pic's of the night.
Thursday Night is Quiz Night!
After the reports from those that attended last weeks Quiz, we're looking forward to another Fun Thursday Night here at Charlie Harper's Bar.
Don't worry, it really is a quiz with a difference … we don't take ourselves too seriously, we drink and have a good time, it's a social event rather than a night for solitary 'boffins'!
The format is, as has been mentioned, a cross between a normal quiz (with music section), and "Deal or no Deal". With a prize of $40 up for grabs by one of the teams (not necessarily the winning team!).
There is a $1 per person charge and teams must be no bigger than 4 people, half the money raised will roll into the top prize if not won. The other half will go someway to cover the free food we'll be giving away at the halfway point.

A life jacket along with inflatable seat cushions likely helped save the lives of two people whose boat capsized off Miami Sunday morning.
The two boaters also carried a personal locator beacon which the U.S. Coast Guard said helped locate them quickly.
A distress signal was received around 11:03 a.m. The pair told rescuers their 22-foot yellow catamaran, completely sank.
The boaters were rescued from the water, where they stayed afloat with the help of their life jackets and seat cushions.
A Coast Guard helicopter rescued the unidentified boaters approximately 20 miles east of Miami.
They were flown back to land where they refused medical treatment.
The Coast Guard urges all boaters, especially those traveling offshore or to remote areas, to carry an Emergency Radio Beacon.

Lynn Westmoreland on Foreign Policy
Republican Representative (GA-8)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. IKE SKELTON (D, MO-4): Pakistan is important to the Middle East and our intentions there. Their cooperation, of course, is so very, very important. This legislation gives economic and democratic development assistance to that country.
Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): We can't allow al Qaeda or any other terrorist group that threatens our national security to operate with impunity in the tribal regions or any other part of Pakistan. Nor can we permit the Pakistani state and its nuclear arsenal to be taken over by the Taliban. To help prevent this nightmare scenario, we need to forge a true strategic partnership with Pakistan and its people, strengthen Pakistan's democrat government, and work to make Pakistan a source of stability in a volatile region.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN (R, FL-18): This bill focuses on past actions and failures attributed to the Pakistani Government, punishing the new leadership for the sins of its predecessors. While the authors of H.R. 1886 may have sought to empower our Pakistani partners to undertake the formidable task of fighting and winning against violent extremists, it does the opposite. We have gone down this road before. I recall during the Iraq debate, Members sought to prejudge the surge strategy before it could even be implemented. Let us hope that this will not be repeated with respect to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
This bill states that U.S. sanctions and controls relating to Syria shall remain in effect until the President certifies that Syria has ceased support for terrorism, has dismantled biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons programs, and has committed to combat their proliferation, respects the boundaries and sovereignty of all neighboring countries, and upholds human rights and civil liberties.
Also imposes specified trade, assistance, and military sanctions, as appropriate, on persons or countries that transfer goods or technology so as to contribute to Syria's biological, chemical, nuclear, or advanced conventional weapons programs.
Imposes specified sanctions aimed at Syria's energy sector.
Sets forth diplomatic measures intended to isolate the government of Syria.
Directs the President to provide assistance to support a democratic transition in Syria.
The Arab American Institute has compiled a Scorecard to catalogue the voting record of the 112th Congress on issues of importance to the Arab American community. For the House, we included 15 items: two bills on the Arab Spring, five bills and one letter on Palestine, two bills on Lebanon, three bills and a letter regarding civil liberties, and two bills on immigration.
RESOLUTION: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the conditions for the US becoming a signatory to the UN Arms Trade Treaty, or to any similar agreement on the arms trade.

WASHINGTON – House Republicans scrambled Friday to vote down their own extremely conservative budget after Democrats called their bluff and withheld opposition, forcing GOP lawmakers to defeat the bill themselves.
The proposal, put forth by the Republican Study Committee, was a more extreme alternative to the plan offered by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI). It sought to make massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare while providing even larger tax breaks for high income earners.
A proposal like that would ordinarily have no chance of passing, typically earning total opposition from Democrats and dissent from enough Republicans. Yet voting on it would serve to please the GOP's right flank, while passage would tar the party with seeking to gut America's social safety net.
But, far from unified opposition, a total of 172 Democrats voted "present." That shocked Republicans, forcing some of them to flip their "yes" votes to "no" in order to defeat the bill that would otherwise have passed with a majority.
The measure ultimately failed 119-136.
Shortly after, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) wrote to his Twitter followers, "Dems voting present on RSC budget to highlight GOP divisions, plans to end Medicare – which bdgt does GOP support? Ryan or Ryan on steroids?"
RSC Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) posted a message on Facebook following the vote.
"Our Republican Study Committee (RSC) balanced budget came within 18 votes of passing on the House Floor today," he wrote. "I am disappointed we did not win, but this is the closest we have ever been to passing our balanced budget. I am motivated to keep fighting to balance the budget and begin paying down our national debt."

The Season To Date In A GIF
UConn will be the fourth straight opponent that is winless coming into the game, and boy have they earned it. It started with a disaster against Townson. A loss that became rock bottom, but rock bottom would be adjusted downward once again. The Huskies followed that up by flirting with Maryland in the return of Edsall and Michigan. And then they got hosed by Buffalo at Buffalo. Then Paul Pasqualoni got fired, and T.J. Weist got promoted, and everyone was happy. And then they lost to USF at home, on homecoming. So yeah, kicking themselves in the face is what they have done this year.
The UConn Media
Being THE team in the state means that there is a lot of journalistic firepower devoted to the Huskies. The Hartford Courant is the biggest newspaper in the state and their coverage of UConn is robust. The Connecticut Post is based out of Bridgeport and despite being closer to New York City than it is to Storrs they also have robust coverage of the Huskies. New Haven, also throws their hat into the UConn covering ring.
For the new media types there are our esteemed colleagues over at The UConn Blog. We Take The Stairs communicates mostly in GIF form and with sarcastic tweets, but more on that later. There is Dog House which is the "playful" major media outlet.
Who To Follow
Other Social Stuff
UConn has an Instagram (that is never updated), this one for the university might be a better look. There is also a fairly active facebook page and YouTube channel. There is a large and active message board community at The Boneyard in case you want to engage in trolling (not recommended or endorsed by Down The Drive). There are team sites on rivals and scout, but both seem to be ghost towns.

Stanton Public, eh? That's where you all go now? Man, I used to hang there back in the day when it was VillEdge Publick House. That was a crazy two weeks and three days, lemme tell you. All right, so it was a little longer than that (you know I have no sense of time or space) and I'm just breaking shoes, so relax, you don't gotta get all uppity. It's not like I said that the VillEdge Publick House sign was written on a chalkboard or anything...
A small "L" shaped bar to the left seats nearly a dozen, it's bar back a large mirrored split unit, with tiered booze on one side and tiered bottled beer selections displayed on the other. Narrow glass front cupboards on both sides on the unit with all your favorite appropriate glassware. An angled Flatscreen above and to both sides of a center pull down screen for the projection TV mounted up high behind you. The not so far wall holds 5 tables adjacent to the bar sharing a common leather bench. Somewhat difficult to maneuver as there are 2 awkward but necessary pillars in the middle of the room but you make due. Between them, the tap selections are printed on a long slanted underhang blackboard that surely makes the blood rush to your head to have to write on. A candle lit bar counter runs a decent length of the rear wall beneath the "slander board"; a much larger blackboard than the one that used to be there that lists all the bottled selections and was my damn idea, so that's why it's called that. Drop lamps & spot lights, candles on the bar & tables. Beyond the here is an exterior room with a small bar, a few booths and about a half dozen tables in a patio with dba-ish roll down outdoor is indoor walls. Someone said they show movies back here, I don't know. Also, there's a downstairs room with an area for darts and a small horseshoe shaped nefarious nook that seated two, although you could easily fit a dozen drunken people here. Food menu is a handful of bar staples (burger, fries, wings, fingers, stix).
16 taps over 3 towers (a center tower holding 8 and towers of 4 to each side of it), and a cask engine on the end. A mix of good American micros (4 Avery's in a post Avery promo event, DogFishHead 90 Minute IPA, Smutty Old Brown Dog, Victory Prima Pils, Sea Dog Blueberry, Captain Lawrence Double IPA, Dales Pale Ale), imports, some better (St. Bernardus Wit, Chimay White, Delirium Tremens) than others (Guinness, Boddingtons), and a cider (Original Sin).
Also 30 bottles or so, some nice finds, mostly imports (Orval, Chimay Red & Blue, Duvel, Maredsous 10, Westmalle Dubbel & Tripel, Affligem, Delirium Nocturnum, Tripel Karmeliet, a trio of Lindemans, Deus, La Fin Du Monde, a pair of Sam Smith, Schneider Weisse, O'Hara's, Xingo), and a bunch of American micros (DogFishHead 60 Minute IPA & Punkin, Brooklyn Brown Ale, Magic Hat Mother Lager, Stone Arrogant Bastard, Keegans Old Capital, Lagunitas Censored, Harpoon). I've been fortunate enough to find the Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter on cask, and so I drink it, and it is good.
It's a solid house, really it is, and I've been told that the price of a pint has come down with the change of hands, which is always a good thing. They say they're committed to continuing the beer thing here so we'll revisit (repeatedly) and see.

This new lower NYC spot is located 2 blocks uptown from New Beer, making it a natural for a visit when in the area. nice wooden bar up front, 3 flat screens with the game on. This seems to be a converted night club type place, there is a rear indoor/outside area all decorated in white with high back white booths and everything. I stayed up front and enjoyed a brew at one of the small tables. Nice tap selection (16 taps) including Six Point's Bengali Tiger (on cask), Delerium, Chimay, Saison Dupont, Aventinus (!), and selections from DFH, Stone, Bklyn, and Smutty. Looked like about 25 mostly BA worthy bottles. Friendly and knowledgeable Bar keep, correct glassware, all add up to making this place a worthwhile spot for a visit. Easy to also do a crawl with this place, Essex Ale house, DBA, Hop Devil, Standings etc. Prices did seem on the high side, luckily for me I was there during happy hour so my $8 draft (ouch) was 1/2 off, (better).

Stanton Public is my new favorite place in NYC on the lower east side. I guess everyone can figure out what my old favorite used to be.
I remember when you wouldn't even go down here back in the 80's!!! This was below CBGB's, and even that was a quick in-and-out! But man, has this neighborhood changed!
Anyway, 17 taps, 25 bottles, and cask ales! Relaxed, cool atmosphere. Not hip, not trendy... the real authentic. Great music (punk, rockabilly, 80's). Clean bathrooms. Nice patio/"beer garden" out back. Cheap eats. Reasonable - even inexpensive - prices. Cool bartenders and staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Located in the once gritty, now trendy and hip LES is Stanton Public. It has a relatively small interior, but also has some outdoor space in the back that is ideal for smokers. Beers on tap number at 16 or so, with one cask. Anderson Valley, Dogfish, Blue Point, Yuengling, others can be found on tap. A decent sized bottled list includes many classics like Schneider Aventinus, Innish & Gunn, La Fin Du Monde, Saison DuPont and more. The staff is friendly and attentive to their wide ranging clientele.

(From notes)
Smaller place on the inside compared to some others in the area, but has a huge outdoor space in the back. Unfortunately, it was still covered during my visit. "Real" bar feel to the place, and had a more than solid tap and bottle selection. I had a cask brew as well as a Green Flash Hop Head Red on tap, for example, during my visit.
Not at all crowded on an early Saturday evening, but I could see where it would be a destination during later hours. Good happy hour deal.
Service was quick and congenial, no complaints. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Cool small bar in the SoHo/Bowery area. Short walk from the Bowery WF. Smallish darkish insidw bar with seating for maybe 20-30. Actual bar is small seating like 10-12. Loud music, reddish-pinkish lights. Feels like it is pretty broken in. Good tap selection of local and transcontinental craft....like 20 taps. Service was quick, despite difficulty accessing bar. There really should be a "ordering spot" at the bar much like a cocktail station. There is a really nice back patio area with seating- maybe enough for 30-35. A back bar which looks rarely used. Show movies from a PP projector on the back brick wall that also has an impressive & legible graffiti'd Stanton Public.
All in all- if you're in the area, you like craft beer(or full bar) looking for a "non-scene" chill hangout bar with a back patio.... here you go, can't go wrong.

Checked out this spot yesterday while cruising the LES. Very nice interior, warmly lit, comfortable booth and chairs. Good selection of beer, and you can sample 5 of them for $7. We had Stone IPA and Aventinus on draft, and Bengali Tiger on cask. Apparently people don't take advantage of the great beer this place was offering, because someone behind the counter complemented us on our selections. The Aventinus took about 5 minutes to arrive at our table, I guess it was foaming a lot or something. Other than that, no problems with service. When it came time to pay, though, I was shocked when the bartender said "$26." Apparently Stone IPA and Sixpoint Bengali Tiger were $8 apiece, and the Aventinus was $10! These prices will prevent me from returning to this bar with any regularity, unfortunately, despite its cozy atmosphere and good selections.

I decided to use the Columbus Day holiday to check out the new places in Soho - this place and Essex Ale House.
The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell of freshly cut wood, so this place is noticeably new. There's not much on the light green walls either, making the place feel empty in a way. 12 stools at the bar and 5 tables in front of the back wall with an appolstered bench all the way across the wall. A bunch of small stools around those tables, so you could really seat a lot of folks there. There are 3 flatscreens around the room. The back room apparently is an outdoor space when they don't have a tent covering it. I wasn't crazy about this all white room with its high-back booths. I think they'd be better off losing those booths and the all-white scheme and turn that into a beer garden with picnic tables. I think as they age and throw some breweriana on the walls, the place will be more homey. Apparently there is a downstairs room with darts, a TV and "Banquet", whatever that means, but I didn't go downstairs to see for myself.
I had 2 beers while I was there- a St. Bernardus Witbier and an Aventinus. Both were amazingly fresh tasting. Filling out the remainder of the 16 taps were Boddingtons, Brooklyn Lager, Carlsburg, Chimay, Dale's Pale, Delerium Tremens, DFH 90 min, Guiness, Original Sin Cider, Smithwicks, Smutty OBD, Stella and Stone IPA. There were 32 bottles as well. A good selection, but the 2 beers I had were truly the gems of the lineup.
The bartender was a friendly guy and I overheard him talking about ways to improve on the place, so that's good. No problem getting samples before ordering a full beer. The beers were served in their proper glassware.
It wasn't clear to me if they actually had a food menu, but they were going to put out some food for Octoberfest.
The 2 fantastic beers I had were each only $4 because I was there early when they have their half price special. I think $8 is reasonable for either of those when the special isn't on. I think they adjusted down their pricing after some previous reviewers first visited, but I didn't check the pricing on the american micros. If they are still charging $8 for american micros, then that is way too much. $6 is about as high as you can charge in that neighborhood, unless you're talking about a pricier DIPA, Imperial Stout or Barleywine.
Overall, this place looks very promising. It's great that with the addition of this place and Essex Ale House there is now a critical mass of beer bars for a fantastic bar crawl. I started my day with lunch at Heartland Brewery Union Square, walked to Villedge Publick House, then to Essex Ale House and on to Hop Devil Grill. Along the way I passed by Burp Castle, Standings and dba. Awesome bar crawl.

The shocking dismissal of Eagles defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was made after careful consideration, Andy Reid said, one day after Reid hinted at big changes. Could more be on the way?
Castillo was let go because he consistently struggled to adjust to changes in games, and it resulted in a slew of fourth-quarter meltdowns a year ago, and some of those had trickled into the past two games this season, none more evident than when he abandoned a defensive game plan that had worked against the Lions. Detroit rallied in the fourth quarter and overtime for the victory, and the Eagles couldn't get their feet back under them defensively at any point late in the game.
"It's been something I am sure he's been thinking about and decided it was best for the football team," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told PFW from the owners' meetings in Chicago on Tuesday. "He makes all those decisions."
The postscript to Castillo being relieved and Todd Bowles taking over is that Reid suggested that he might not be finished tearing up the plan during the Eagles' bye week. When asked about the status of QB Michael Vick, who after Sunday's loss has totaled 30 fumbles in his past 30 games and who has 13 turnovers this season, Reid said Vick was his quarterback "as I sit here right now."
But that could change quickly. Reid's move to can Castillo smacked of desperation, of a coach who truly believed the threats of his owner that Reid could be gone if the Eagles are 8-8 again. Reid was smart enough to know that he needed a contingency plan in case Castillo, who was allowed to return this season, flunked. That plan was secondary coach Todd Bowles, who wisely was brought in after being in demand with several other teams.
Bowles' stock has been on the rise for several years, and he earned major credibility for the job he did replacing fired Dolphins coach Tony Sparano on an interim basis, guiding Miami to a 2-1 finish with wins over the Bills and Jets and a near-upset of the Patriots.
"Very sharp, relates to the players," Lurie said when asked to give an assessment of his team's new coordinator. "Andy has a good feel for him, and the whole situation. He's on top of everything."
And Reid also made sure to draft Nick Foles in Round Three and sign Trent Edwards, with Vick and Mike Kafka on the roster at the time, to have a Plan B in case Vick melted down. Some would argue that's happening now with his turnover frenzy this season. Another big shakeup could be right around the corner.
As for whether Lurie is comfortable with a big in-season shakeup, no matter the title, he said, "Absolutely. I am sure before the bye, it's something that Andy felt was the right timing. Todd Bowles has a chance to do an outstanding job, and I believe in Andy."
