Commission Finds Hatred In Northern Virginia's Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) Islamic School
As noted in the past, the Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia has been acting very suspiscious when asked about their curriculum. In fact, some members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom last year asked the U.S. State Department to shut down ISA Islamic school because school administrators refused to provide officials with school text books. Abdalla al-Shabnan, the ISA school's director general, claimed that the school was being persecuted because of anti-Muslim prejudice. (more…)
The conviction of ISA-educated al-Qaida member Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was found to be constitutional and the home-grown terrorist who plotted to assassinate the President was found to have received a fair trial. The guilty verdict stands.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld the conviction of an American citizen for plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush and conspiring with al Qaeda, rejecting his claims that he had been tortured into confessing by the Saudi police.

Science and Religion
Here's a video shamelessly lifted from the front page of LGF. It's a lecture given by Dr. Kenneth Miller about intelligent design and evolution.
It just so happens that I'm finishing up a piece against a Calvinist (creationist) "thinker" who tries to argue for the legitimacy of Christian belief as a form of knowledge, that is, he thinks that Christian belief is rational, justified, true belief produced by cognitive faculties and processes functioning properly. Proper function of cognitive faculties and processes is a biological concept and a good 5th of the 1,500 pages (of the three main texts) is an argument that evolution can not explain proper function as well as creationism, so, if we want to escape skepticism, we must do away with former and adopt the latter.
But anyway, here's the video: (more…)

This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Republican Presidential candidate, John McCain, it seems, has, like Barack Obama, been attending an extremist, anti-Semitic, racist, anti-American, anti-Israel church for the past 20 years! He's fallen under the wing of the Christian extremist John Hagee, who, like Wright was to Obama, has been McCain's spiritual adviser. Hagee has even inspired McCain, as he sat attentively over the decades listening to sermons, like Obama listened to Wright's sermons, with ideas and titles for books which McCain has written.

MPACUK: One Step Away From Making Takfir
Every time I check in to see what our good buddies at MPACUK are up to I find more borderline extremist rhetoric. For example, in this rant the MPACUK radicals accuse Muslim authorities in Britain of failing to live up to their duties as Muslims. The proof that this is the case? Well, because Islam does not dominate all of Britain of course! How else could an Islamophobe be elected? Yes, MPACUK seems to be just about ready to pronounce Muslim authorities kuffar and subject them to the treatment of apostates:
Boris Johnson called Islam "the problem" and has now been elected Mayor of London. Islam is not the problem. Boris Johnson is not the problem. Our Muslim leaders ARE the problem.
Naqba, Indeed.
Here's a must read article in Commentary Magazine:
1948. Israel and the Palestinians – the true story
As the Jews set out to lay the groundwork for their nascent state while simultaneously striving to convince their Arab compatriots that they would be (as Ben-Gurion put it) "equal citizens, equal in everything without any exception," Palestinian Arab leaders pledged that "should partition be implemented, it will be achieved only over the bodies of the Arabs of Palestine, their sons, and their women." Qawuqji vowed "to drive all Jews into the sea." Abdel Qader Husseini stated that "the Palestine problem will only be solved by the sword; all Jews must leave Palestine."
Shia Scholars: Ahmadinejad Needs to STFU About Imam al-Mahdi
If I recall correctly, the "hidden imam" aka the 12th imam, aka al-Mahdi, according to Ahmadinejad, is going to make himself visible (or he will be made visible by Allah… I'm not quite sure how this works) at the end of days. At that time he and Jesus will finish off the last remaining Christians and Jews and then Muslims will rule the world. Until that time, it is the duty of the Islamic Republic of Iran (so says Ahmadinejad) to pave the way for the 12th imam's return, and all of the Islamic Republic's actions have this goal in mind.
Seems reasonable enough to me, I wonder why Iranian scholars want him to shut up.
I've been reading a post by Haider Ala Hamoudi on his blog Islamic Law in our Times. However, when I tried to access the article this morning I found that the website was unavailable and instead I was redirected to a page that told me "This Web site coming soon."
Luckily, thanks to Google Reader, I still have the entire post as it appears on the RSS feed. So, unless and until Hamoudi's site is back online, I don't think there's a problem if I reproduce the entire article.
Okay, it's back online, for now. So, I'm still going to keep it posted in it's entirety (besides, the copyright date on his site is "2007" :P ):

Introducing Greater Phoenix
It's hard to put a label on Phoenix. Just when you've dismissed it as a faux-dobe wasteland of cookie-cutter subdivisions, bland shopping malls and water-gobbling golf courses, you're pulled short by a golden sunset setting the urban peaks aglow. Or a stubborn desert bloom determined to make a go of it in the dry, scrubby heat. Or maybe it's the mom-and-pop breakfast joint drawing crowds and thumbing its nose at the ubiquitous chains that dominate the landscape.
It's these little markers of hope – or defiance – that let travelers know there's more substance here than initially meets the eye. The catch? You've got to pull off the interstate and get out of the car to appreciate them. And with more than 300 days of sunshine a year – hence the nickname 'Valley of the Sun' – this isn't a disagreeable proposition (except in June, July and August when the mercury tops 100°F, or about 40°C).
Culturally, Phoenix offers an opera, a symphony, several theaters, and two of the state's finest museums: the Heard Museum and the Phoenix Art Museum. The Desert Botanical Garden is a stunning introduction to the region's flora and fauna. For sports fans, there are local teams in the national football, baseball and ice hockey leagues, and the area is dotted with more than 200 golf courses.
Greater Phoenix – also referred to as the Valley – may be vast and amorphous, but the areas of visitor interest are limited to three or four communities. Phoenix is the largest city and combines a businesslike demeanor with a burgeoning cultural scene and top-notch sports facilities. Southeast of here, student-flavored Tempe (tem-pee) is a lively district hugging 2-mile-long Tempe Town Lake. Further east it segues smoothly into ho-hum Mesa, which has a couple of interesting museums. North of Phoenix, Paradise Valley and Scottsdale are both ritzy enclaves. While the former is mostly residential, Scottsdale is known for its cutesy old town, galleries and lavish resorts.

The Midwest Region's sweet 16 is held in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. Both Lexington and Indianapolis are very close and affordable. I have a feeling this going to be a special tournament.

Is your operation guided by rules and regulations put into place long before your time? Do you ever wonder why certain rules exist? Are there any that you think are just plain dumb? Odds are, the answer is yes and that it's time you reviewed your rules and regulations to make sure they're up-to-date and effective. According to an article in Education Week (Oct. 10, 2001), Denver Public Schools' new chief Jerry Wartgow recently re-evaluated the rules at his district based on suggestions from employees. In making the rounds of the 70,000-student school district over the summer, Wartgow was continually notified by staff and parents of guidelines they thought were outdated, unfair or just plain dumb. In response, Wartgow formed a "dumb rules" committee to examine questionable practices and determine their merit. The committee also outlined steps for removal of those rules deemed unnecessary. Formed in August, the committee has since reviewed more than 160 e-mail submissions and posted about 70 suggestions and responses on its Website at www.denver.k12.co.us/dumb_rules. Ellen McEldowney, the district's general counsel and committee head, says the site has become a "communications mechanism for parents, students and staff members to get superintendent-level attention for problems large and small."

Feature suggestion: Promote to front page (Update 2: we're halfway there!)
I've been playing around a lot on the Verge today and I love how it turned out. But I feel like some of the features aren't being used to their optimal potential. I wanted to suggest something that could raise the quality of forum content and attract more people to the forums as well.
It looks to me like the forums are designed not as a regular forum, but as a platform for people to generate their own articles. Articles that have the potential to be just as interesting as the articles on the front page. This really shows in many things, like how forum posts are viewed in exactly the same way as front page articles and comments are separated from the article in the same manner. But maybe even more important the editor gives users the options to make pretty posts with integrated images or even videos when it applies.
Right now though, the articles that are posted are much more like a traditional forum. People write content aimed at engaging a discussion, rather than writing about something people are just interested in reading. I think a lot of readers would like to be more than just readers and actually generate content from time to time. A lot of us have probably wondered what it would be like to work for the Verge, but would never apply for a job as editor because they have a completely different and separate career.
What I would like to suggest is give these people the tools they need to write their own opinion pieces, features, reviews and other articles and encourage them to write quality content by occasionally promoting user generated content to the front page.
This would give people on the forums an incentive to generate great content that others want to read and at the same time draw people just lurking on the front page to the forums in search for more great user generated content.
After all I think we all feel like we could be writers from time to time and I think we need to value those who actually have the talent and make sure people get the chance to enjoy it!
Thoughts anyone?
Update: I'm glad to see that great content is already appearing on the forums. If you want to see what kind of content I'm talking about be sure to check out Sony - A Brand With a Future in Mobile? by glypo.
Update 2: Dieter Bohn posted a front page article today linking to several quality forum posts including the one mentioned in the last update. It's great to see this content is being noticed and getting some extra exposure. It looks like we're halfway there!
Ps. I played some with the editor and the HTML view and the result doesn't exactly look as planned. It takes some getting used to predefined and unknown styles. But at least the tools are there to play with!

He fits the profile of a Cowboys lineman, at 6-9 340 and he's only 23 (per ESPN), and he is likely to receive a first round tender per ESPN.
NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that the Baltimore Ravens are placing the first round RFA tender on Jared Gaither.
Also, this is what the scouting section of the ESPN player profiler says,
Gaither is a young, ascending player and the Ravens' starting left tackle. He has tremendous size, particularly with his extreme height and overall length, to man the blind side. However, there are times when his high center of gravity is used against Gaither. Gaither remains a work in progress but is a punishing finisher in Baltimore's power blocking scheme. As he gains experience, his hand placement and understanding of his opponent will improve.
Now, considering that it seems likely Russell Okung, Bryan Bulaga, Bruce Campbell, Anthony Davis, Trent Williams, and Mike Iupati will be gone by the time we pick I think it makes some sense to look into this option. We know he can play already, so there's less risk. I think that if the Cowboys scouting department would grade him higher than any lineman we could get in round 1, we should at least consider making him an offer.
Also, we would have a legitimate shot at signing him away seeing as the Ravens have Michael Oher who they know can play the left side and so might decide to part with him for a first rounder.
Another thing to consider is our first rounder may very well have only second round value (depending on how many first round grades our scouts assign) and thus our pick is more like a high second rounder.
My only reservation, is we can't know who would fall to us at 27 right now, and I don't like trading draft picks for players. (Every time I think of the Joey Galloway or Roy Williams trades I get very angry, all the young talent we gave up for them).
However, this may be the best shot we have at shoring up our line and considering Jerry's comments concerning whether or not we can get another good year from Flo, this should be looked into in my opinion. Your thoughts?

Normally, I write about tendencies, statistics, and scouting. But since Rocky Top Talk did a fine statistical preview of the game, I was left considering what else to write about this week. Easy.
I realize Florida is on an eight-game winning streak against Tennessee, and that feels nice to everyone. This is especially true in the Internet age: 2004, the last year Florida lost to Tennessee, feels like the golden age, a time when Facebook was still a startup. Remember when we talked to people on the phone and didn't text our thumbs off? Yeah, me neither. Florida-Tennessee football games were heated, contested, and mattered like hell.
But that was 2004, and I was at the top of freakin' Rocky Top for that loss. I haven't forgotten the smashed-together seats, Volunteer Navy, and of course Junior and Lulu.
Tennessee is still a rival, and this is still a Hate Week. Florida fans seem ready to treat this game as an afterthought, and that would be a mistake. Tenneessee has struggled the last few seasons, but still possess enough talent to pull the upset in The Swamp. As I've read the forums, listened to fans, and talked with friends, it's apparent that Florida fans are generally more concerned about the state of the offense than Tennessee. The problem with long winning streaks, if there is one, is the threat of complacency in a team or fan base, leading to the losing team being taken for granted.
If you want to read an article about the process, read Andy's. The process matters, and shouldn't be taken lightly either, but this isn't one of those articles. Florida-Tennessee football still matters in a big way, and here are five reasons why.
It's the SEC opener
Excluding 2012 vs. Texas A&M and 2001 (when the nation took a week off from sports), Florida has opened SEC play against Tennessee every year since 1996. In several matchups, the winner of this game was going to the SEC Championship Game, so great was the opportunity to grab a game-and-a-half in the standings. It sets the tone for what always promises to be a brutal SEC schedule, and starting well is always important.
Adding new grudges to old grudges
Veteran Tennessee fans haven't forgotten that Peyton Manning never beat Florida, or how gleefully Steve Spurrier poked fun at them. Gator fans haven't forgotten the 2001 loss in the Swamp that knocked the Gators out of National Championship competition. While you're at it, try bringing up Jabar Gaffney's winning TD catch in 2000, or the Dallas Baker penalty in 2004. There are still plenty of old wounds to lick and grudges to conjure up come kickoff.
Winning recruiting battles
Since this game is the SEC opener, and beginning at a decent hour, Florida has several big-name recruits and commits in the stands. Florida doesn't battle Tennessee for many recruits these days (though that can always change), but showing up well and doing what a favored team is supposed to do always helps recruiting. Indirectly, Florida will be recruiting against Georgia, Alabama, and LSU, teams they normally battle for top recruits. How Florida performs will stick in the minds of young atheletes, and when the same recruit goes up to Athens, Tuscaloosa, or Baton Rouge, the kind of show they will see there will inevitably be compared to the one the Gators put on. Plus, a win or close loss by Tennessee can fuel recruiting change, since Butch Jones would use it to say "All we need is you to take down Florida." Any big recruiting show matters, and this is no exception.
Taking the inside track on the SEC East
We all know Florida's SEC East hopes ride on the Georgia and South Carolina games, but as the opener, Florida has the inside track on the division lead with a win. The victor ties Georgia for the early lead, and controls its own destiny. The loser spends the rest of the season distracted by scoreboard watching. For all the frustration surrounding Florida's loss to Miami, the Gators still control much of their fate for the season, and all of their fate in the SEC. A win over Tennessee is imperative to remain in control.
Denying hope
Just like Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley, Butch Jones is coming in to the Swamp with hopes of pulling a big upset. Volunteer Nation is hopeful this team will rebound after being thoroughly whipped by Oregon. Will Muschamp and the Gators will need to crush that hope swiftly and without mercy. Even if the game is another 24-10 ground 'n pound, the pounding must be severe. Vol fans should drive back up to Tennessee with a feeling in their hearts that nothing has changed and they're going to keep losing to Florida forever and ever.
Including today.
Gator Nation, do you think the team is taking this game lightly, and are YOU? What are your greatest and most frustrating Florida vs. Tennessee memories? The comments are yours...

Lincoln chancellor decries campus racial incidents
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) The University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor has sent a campuswide email deploring the use of racial slurs at a student government meeting and decrying other race-based incidents on his campus in the state capital.
Chancellor Harvey Perlman said in Thursday's email that ``the use of the N-word and insensitive racial impersonations are the recent incidents that demand our immediate attention.''
A student senator used the N-word during debate two weeks ago. He was objecting to a resolution pledging student senators' support for stopping the use of derogatory language in their everyday speech. He criticized the resolution as an attack on free speech.
The university intends to begin a campaign against racial insensitivity.

Fullerton, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Greene and Stephen Maxwell each posted double-doubles as the Cal State Northridge Matadors took down the Cal State Fullerton Titans, 92-86, in Big West Conference play at Titan Gym.
Green had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Maxwell scored 16 points to go with 11 boards for Cal State Northridge (11-11. 2-8 Big West) which had lost eight of its last nine. Also in double figures for the Matadors were Tre Hale-Edmerson (17 points), Lonnie Watson (11) and Brandon Perry (11).
Kwame Vaughn scored 28 points and handed out eight assists, D.J. Seeley netted 22 points and Sammy Yeager dropped in 21 points for Cal State Fullerton (11-10, 4-5) which has lost four of its last five.
The Matadors shot 51.4 percent from the field, while holding the Titans to just nine field goals in the first half, to take a 39-29 lead at the break.
Although the Titans heated up to 60 percent shooting, including a 7-of-15 effort from beyond the arc, they could not overcome the Matadors. Cal State Northridge knocked down 55.6 percent of its shots in the final 20 minutes and 20-of-27 from the free throw line.
In the game Cal State Northridge had a 31-20 edge in rebounds. Cal State Fullerton forced a game-high 21 turnovers but had just a 15-13 advantage in points off of takeaways.

Today, writers from around the world share why they write. I couldn't let this day pass without writing a little something…
I fell in love with writing in the third grade. I wrote a poem about love, won a poetry contest, and saw my poem printed in the Seattle Times. Winning the contest alone didn't spark the flame though; it was my third grade teacher, Mrs. Aigner. She talked to me about how writing is a creative art form with the power to open our minds to new worlds and different ways of thinking and feeling. She described how some people could better express themselves through writing and told me that I was one of those people.
I was hooked.
In fourth grade, I tested poorly for reading comprehension. I was humiliated. I was at a private school and the nuns, who were hired to tutor me, told my mom the tests were wrong. I could comprehend just fine; the problem was my mind worked just a little differently. They proposed teaching me how to speed read, so that my reading pace could keep up with how quickly my mind was processing the information.
It worked like magic. I became an avid reader and began journaling.
I loved reading anything I could get my hands on. The Black Stallion Series, Black Beauty, To Kill a Mockingbird, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, National Geographic magazines, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Middle Passage, art and psychology books, and as I got older, my mom's (not age appropriate) books that I smuggled from her book shelves. I devoured them all. You name it, I wanted to read it, and the genre didn't matter.
As the years went on, my love affair with books grew stronger and my need to write my own thoughts and feelings became a compulsion. At one point, I was so freaked out about the extent of everything I had written—all the personal thoughts and feelings I didn't want shared—that I threw out all my diaries. To this day, this is one of my only regrets.
Writing is a part of who I am. I love to write to express myself, open idea doors, build community, motivate, create, and process thoughts and feelings. I may not be the most amazing writer in the world, but I love it. It's liberating.
The only problem is that I don't know how to speed write or type. :)
Why do you write, build, design, bake, create, or engage in whatever it is you feel the pull to do?

text: With the 19th pick in the draft, I think the giants should take running back Mark Ingram out of Alabama. Ingram is the best back in the draft and should fall close to where the giants are picking. If he is available I think the giants need to jump on the oppourtunity of getting an elite back. Jacobs and Bradshaw are solid backs dont get me wrong, but both of their futures are up in the air with this team. The giants need an elite running back to make any noise in this league and drafting Ingram would give them one

We buy insurance for every thing we own. We insure our cars, homes, our possessions, our health and our lives. It seems there is an insurance policy for every perceivable thing as long as it has some sort of monetary value. You would think that a couple's marriage would be the most valuable thing in a home and would warrant at least some type of coverage. It's just not that easy.
Women look at insurance as a way of protecting their assets. Placing a value on their possessions is easy when they are material objects. If something gets damaged or stolen, they file a claim and get a check for the estimated value of the item. When asked to place value on their husband, the price she chooses will greatly depend on whether or not he has been on her good side.
The problem with insurance is that i...Read More

After info on Carlos Beltran and Victor Martinez, the odds of them playing for the Mets in 2010 is just about Zilch. So I'm going to bring you the Mets 2009-2010 offseason now:
For estimated Payroll info, click here
Non-Tender Jeff Francoeur
1. Either Sign Adam LaRoche to a 1-year, $6 million contract or trade a package of John Maine & Kirk Nieuwenhuis to the Toronto Blue Jays for Lyle Overbay
Explanation: LaRoche is going to be a 30-year old free agent 1B who you can expect a .270/.340/.480 line from. The problem is, he's going to have a lot of players of similar value to him on the market this year in Aubrey Huff and Nick Johnson. My guess is, he's going to sign a 1 year deal and wait for 2011 where the only legitimate competition he could have is Derrek Lee (yes, Carlos Pena will be a free agent but he'll end up traded and extended).
Of course I could be wrong on LaRoche, but if I am there's always Overbay. He's rather expensive to the Blue Jays who I don't think see themselves contending in 2010 especially if the trade Halladay. I'm sure they'd like a nice, controllable pitcher for 2 years, contenders or not. I think Maine has little use for the Mets -- he has no durability and is an injury risk -- but to a team with extra pitchers like Shaun Marcum and David Purcey available he'll be a fine 5 starter. But why do I want Overbay? He's a lefty with some pop, and almost every year has a good OBP, AND HE'S HEALTHY. He and LaRoche are our best options at 1B. Plus, he'll cost nothing with Maine and Francoeur gone
2. Sign Bobby Abreu to a 3 year, $20 million deal.
Explanation: The Mets are going to need an effective replacement in right, and I think Abreu is the man for the job. He's a historically good fielder who always puts up a good OBP. Unfortunately he's not going to take another one year deal, and I think at the least over the next 3 years he'll have an at least .360 OBP. The Dollars would be spread like so: 2010: $5 million, 2011: $7 million, 2012: $8 million. He really is the best option for a good hitting corner outfielder right now
3. Sign Ramon Hernandez to a 1-year, $2 million deal. OR Sign any catcher out there to a 1 year $2 million deal
Explanation: If he can be a catcher full time then put him there. If not get someone else. Really they're all the same. They all suck equally and honestly no one would sign for much more than that
4. Sign Rick Ankiel or Mike Cameron to a 1 year contract worth $4 or $8 million, respectively
Explanation: It's not too glamorous but I don't see much of a better option in CG
5. Sign Omar Infante, John McDonald, Jamey Carroll or Felipe Lopez to a 1 year, $1.5 million contract
Explanation: It's good for MI depth and one of them will sign for that generous price
6. Sign Erik Bedard to a $3 year, $45 million contract or try for John Lackey at whatever price he wants now
Explanation: The Mets really need a rotation upgrade. In the innings Bedard doesn't pitch we'll put in Holt or Mejia or Nieve or Gee
25 Man Roster:
Erik Bedard/John Lackey
Jon Niese
Francisco Rodriguez
Ramon Hernandez or whoever.
Adam LaRoche or Lyle Overbay
Omar Infante/John MacDonald/Jamey Carroll/Felipe Lopez
Bobby Abreu
Rick Ankiel or Mike Cameron

Sigi Schmid had every right to be upset at referee Mark Geiger after the pretty up and down officiating in the match between his Sounders FC and the Montreal Impact. In his post-game interview Sigi would go on to say that he was just trying to get his say in and Geiger was not having it. What made him upset was that apparently Impact coach Jesse Marsch was allowed to have a conference with Geiger at the half but Schmid was ignored after the final whistle blew. At the very least, Coach was showing his players how to perform with a little passion which was seemingly lacking on the pitch.

GREENBELT, Md. (AP)- A Calvert County man has been sentenced to probation for illegally discharging fill material into the Chesapeake Bay.
David Ector must remove the fill material from the bay as a condition of his sentence, which was imposed Wednesday in federal court in Greenbelt.
Prosecutors say the 55-year-old Ector owned a cliff-front property in Calvert County and, in May 2010, was responsible for dumping large rocks over the cliff face and into the bay without a permit. Prosecutors say the dumping interfered with the habitat of an endangered species.

"The character is so specific and such a curmudgeon and so angry. But when I heard that Jason [Schwartzman] wanted to do it, it really clarified things for me," said Elisabeth Moss told EW about deciding to take a role in "Listen Up Philip." "Jason has this knack for playing characters who are maybe not necessarily that likable. He doesn't try to make them likable, but there's something about the way he is that makes you just want to watch him. You're interested in what his character's doing even if he's being an asshole."
It seems there are a lot of people invested in Philip, with a pretty nifty teaser landing today for the latest from "The Color Wheel" director Alex Ross Perry, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Featuring a pretty great supporting cast including Krysten Ritter, Jonathan Pryce, Jess Weixler, Dree Hemingway and Eric Bogosian, the story follows a writer whose (bad) decisions have an effect on everyone around him, including his photographer girlfriend Ashley.
"It's the story of a girl going through a breakup in New York in the summer. I lived in New York for 11 years. I've gone through those and I really felt like I wanted to explore that," Moss said.
So check out the teaser trailer for the film below and don't worry about spoilers — it contains no actual footage from the film.
Adam Scott Thompson | January 17, 2014 1:45 PM
Elisabeth Moss *and* Krysten Ritter in the same film? Down for it.
Chadams | January 17, 2014 11:26 AM
Feels a bit referential to Philip Roth and his work, perhaps? If for no other reasons than the font and color choice of the title at the end. Reminds me of the "Portnoy's Complaint" cover. That, and if you use the possible time period that it looks like it's set in and the fact that the word "asshole" is being used, there's two more possible references. Also, "PHILIP."

Who's watching you?
POSTED: 01:34 PM CDT Jul 17, 2013 UPDATED: 03:34 PM CDT Jul 17, 2013
A new report that says, even if you've never done anything wrong, you're probably in the files of local law enforcement.
A study by the American Civil Liberties Union says, more local agencies are using automated scanners to track the movement of every vehicle with a license plate. The scanners then send that information to the police database, where it may be kept for years.
It's done in the name of terrorist detection, and federal grants let even small police departments do it. How else do they use the information? Read more here.

Jokes aside, we do have a gigantic harvest this year and I've been frantically cooking anything and everything potato. I've already run through all of my staple recipes and am now madly making anything that looks good and is remotely potato friendly. So, expect to see a lot of potato recipes here this month (and the next, and the next...)
This recipe worked out brilliantly, even if I do say so myself. Our potatoes are lush and sweet and this delicate, tangy-spicy sauce gently enhances their flavour without overpowering them. Its a fantastic dish for easy, nutritious suppers, and it goes well as an accompaniment to all sorts of dishes.
A couple of things do need to be kept in mind while making this dish. The yogurt needs to be at room temperature or just very slightly chilled while making this dish. Make sure you take the pan off the heat and let the oil cool a little, before adding the yogurt mixture, as adding cold yogurt to hot oil can make it split. Once added, keep the heat medium-low, and bring the yogurt to just steaming point, and try to avoid boiling it, which can also make it split. The chickpea flour actually is there to make sure yogurts don't split, but I've found that yogurts here are not the same as in India and tend to split faster.
If the yogurt does split, not to worry. Take off the heat and whisk hard for a few minutes, and this should emulsify it a little. In all honesty, splitting doesn't really affect the taste of this dish, its a purely aesthetic issue.
The tarka at the end just lifts the whole flavour of the dish, making it truly amazing. May has a lot more in her tarka, but I kept it simple here. But do check out her recipe for the lovely soup, which I shall be making soon enough. Its not like there aren't any potatoes to go around, haha.
Watch out for more potato recipes coming your way soon... and if you want some, hop on by, and you can have some :)
(Printable Recipe)
Serves 4 as a side dish
1 kilo fresh potatoes, scrubbed, peeled if necessary and cut into chunks
Cold water, enough to cover the potatoes
Salt to taste
For the yogurt sauce:
1 small onion, diced fine
For the tempering, or tarka/ tadka/ phon:
½ tablespoon unscented oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 - 2 sprigs curry leaves, picked (about 10 - 12 leaves)
2 long dried red chillies
2 whole garlic cloves, slightly bruised
Place the potatoes in a deep saucepan and cover with cold water. Add salt to taste, bring to the boil, and cook the potatoes until soft and tender. Drain and keep aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and the milk. Sift over the chickpea flour and whisk until there are no lumps. Stir in the grated ginger, green chillies, turmeric, garam masala, ground cumin and cayenne pepper (if using) and mix well.
Heat the oil in a deep pan, on medium heat, and add the fennel seeds. When they start to sputter, add the onion. Fry for about 5 - 6 minutes, until the onion is soft and just beginning to colour.
Take the pan off the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Gently whisk in the yogurt mixture, little by little, scraping the sides and making sure that the oil is all emulsified into the sauce.
Place back on a low heat, and incorporate the stock, gently whisking it in. Season to taste. On a low heat, bring the sauce to a very gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Fold in the potatoes into the yogurt sauce and bring back to a simmer for a minute, then take off the heat and keep aside while you make the tempering.
To make the tarka or tempering, heat oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds. When they sizzle and sputter, add the red chillies, the garlic and the curry leaves. Saute for abotu 30 seconds, then pour the whole lot over the potatoes in the yogurt sauce. Cover quickly to trap in the aromas.
Just before serving, gently stir everything together, check and adjust seasoning and serve just warm. This dish goes well with any accompaniment like rice, Indian breads or pita bread.

The time they'll wait for in-person assistance is 12 minutes, according to the survey released by American Express. One in two Americans have ditched a purchase because they were fed up with bad customer service.
And while customers will tell an average of 15 people about a good experience, they're going to complain to 24 about a bad one, the survey said.
With 93 percent of survey participants saying they weren't satisfied with customer service, that's a lot of complaining.
Besides long hold times, customers got fed up with rude representatives and being passed to different departments with no resolution.
But not all the news is bad--it turns out customers' expectations aren't all that high. American Express says investing in better employees and setting goals to motivate them works wonders for performance.

Yanina's Chance To Shine
Published May 15, 2011 10:18
BRUSSELS, Belgium - Yanina Wickmayer knows how to perform in front on her home fans - she's done it in Fed Cup play a bunch of times. But this week, the young Belgian No.2 has a chance to strut her stuff at the inaugural Brussels Open, the WTA's newest Premier-level stop.
Watch Brussels & Strasbourg on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
Wickmayer, seeded sixth at the $618,000 red clay event, won't find the path to local glory and a fourth WTA title easy, though. The celebrated Kim Clijsters might be sidelined, but four of the Top 10 have still descended on the seat of the European Union, led by world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki.
Wozniacki and Vera Zvonareva, who is seeded No.2, enjoy first round byes, which should help keep them just that little bit fresher both this week, and looking ahead to Roland Garros. But both will relish the chance to hone their clay court games ahead of the second Grand Slam of the season.
No such luxury has been accorded to third seed Francesca Schiavone, who put in a solid quarterfinal effort at Rome last week - and has clearly decided match play is the best preparation ahead of her French Open title defense. The 30-year-old opens against Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria. Former world No.1 Jelena Jankovic is seeded No.4 and opens her account against Anastasia Rodionova.
Joining Wickmayer in the second tier of seeds are Shahar Peer, who holds down No.5; Alexandra Dulgheru, who is seeded No.7; and China's Peng Shuai, seeded eighth and coming off doubles victory in Rome with Zheng Jie. Dulgheru, in particular, has plenty to fight for here - this tournament has taken the slot of the Warsaw Open, where the Romanian would have been the two-time defending champion this year.
Wildcards have been awarded to Belgians Kirsten Flipkens and An-Sophie Mestach, while the doubles top seeds are Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond of the United States.
Also of note in Brussels this week: Dominique Monami (van Roost), who rose as high as No.9 in the rankings in 1998 and won four WTA singles titles during her playing career, is making her debut as a WTA tournament director.

When's naptime?
This all leads to a bigger question: Will system administrators ever be prepared to allow their servers to take an occasional deep snooze when they're not doing anything useful? A company called Cassatt attempted to entice datacenter operators to power machines off and on as needed using its Active Response package -- but it didn't gain traction.
Meanwhile, other organizations are dabbling in powering down servers. Cisco, for example, reports that it has developed tools in-house for powering non-mission-critical servers off and on, such as those for testing and development, as well as applications such as payroll, which are run on a regular schedule but not needed daily.
But the day may come when powering on and off production servers is no longer taboo, thanks to cloud computing and virtualization, according to Douglas Alger, IT architect for physical infrastructure at Cisco and author of "Grow a Greener Data Center: A guide to building and operating energy-efficient, ecologically sensitive IT and Facilities infrastructure."
Alger says, "We'll reach the point where the datacenter consists of large virtualized resource pools, and any single box isn't particularly important because it's just one of 100, or 200, or 500 [running a given service]. It seems we'll be able to power machines down when they're idle without fear that they won't come back up. Even if most come back up, you'll still be able to work with that pool."
A dynamic virtualized datacenter? Sounds promising.

edit: I've watched the video in my gender, race, and media class a year ago. It is incredibly graphic and depicts violence against women. I've only been able to sit through it once. The video upset me and I am not a survivor of domestic violence/relationship abuse/rape. So I do not recommend watching it unless you can handle it. Again, trigger warning for violence against women. -Lisa
…While completely ignoring the fact that many women get off on degradation and willingly participate in parts of culture that objectify them, be it for money, fame, or simply to fulfill their own desires. Yeah, some of this stuff is FOR SURE trashy and degrading, but to blame the pornographic male gaze in popular culture isn't telling the whole story. There is nothing wrong with the ("typical") male gaze, but we must learn to incorporate other points of view into our culture. We must also not forget that sex is inherently about power, so almost all sexual fantasies circle around the attainment or relinquishing of power. I'm pretty sure most men who love love love porn still don't think it's acceptable to throw lunch meat at women. Fantasies involving power don't necessarily translate into acts of degradation outside of the sexual sphere. I think most individuals recognize the difference between gratuitous sexual fantasies and their real, respectful interactions with the opposite sex—both can be sincere. (Also, I pray that everyone recognizes that FRED DURST is not the best representation of the average American male circa 2002. Lol.)

Bacon Shrimp Creole Recipe
This dish is a compilation of two Creole recipes that I found in my mother's New Orleans cookbooks. The bacon adds flavor and the cayenne gives it a bit of spice. —Jan Tucker of Virginia Beach, Virginia
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup cold water, divided
- 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 cups hot cooked long grain rice
- In a Dutch oven, saute the onion, celery and green pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, bacon, parsley, sugar, salt, thyme, curry powder, pepper and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Combine flour and remaining water until smooth; gradually stir into tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add shrimp. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings.

Made this with some large tiger prawns. We enjoyed it. Had a great flavor and the family voted it a keeper. The only thing I did different was use brown rice and stirred it in the finished dish instead of spooning the creole over the top.

Let's look at our current outlook for 2009 so we can evaluate what we need to do to improve it. I'm going off the assumption that we do not resign Mark Kotsay.
LF L Gregor Blanco/R Matt Diaz
SS R Yunel Escobar
1B L Casey Kotchman
3B S Chipper Jones
C L Brian McCann
RF R Jeff Francoeur
2B L Kelly Johnson
CF L Jordan Schafer
The first thing that jumps out at me is this lineup might be susceptible to left-handed pitching. And for some weird reason, we face an s-load more left-handers than everyone else. I don't exactly hate this lineup, but I don't really like it either.
There is much power beyond Chipper and McCann, and it's a little overly left-handed. Leftfield and centerfield could use obvious upgrades, so a power hitting right-handed outfielder for the next two seasons needs to be on the Braves shopping list. I think power is the first thing that the Braves need, for them to be right-handed isn't really a need, and it would be our benefit that they're just a stop gap. Here are the candidates in free agency.
LF R Pat Burrell
LF L Adam Dunn
RF R Vladimir Guerrero (has a team option)
LF R Manny Rameriz
LF L Raul Ibanez
I think the best fit for our lineup would be Pat Burrell. He's making $14 million a year this year and would probably be seeking a slight raise. The Phillies are obviously going to try to resign him, but he's making close to what I believe is his current value, so he wouldn't be seeking a big enough raise that they couldn't necessarily afford. It would probably come down to years - next year he'll be 33. Obviously, it will probably take a 4-5 year deal somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million per year. I like Pat Burrell for the 2009-2010 season, but I'm not sure how we'd feel about him at 36-37, possibly blocking one of our premier outfield prospects.
Dunn could be a good fit, since there isn't much interest in him. He probably could be had on a short term contract, albeit probably overpaid. His $13 million option almost wasn't excercised, so he probably makes what he should be making - if not a little overpaid. If he can be had at 2 years/$28 million, I'd say do it.
The only other good fit on that list would be Raul Ibanez. Next season, he'll be 37. He's declined the past three seasons and he's getting older, so obviously a one year contract might do. He's making $5.5 million this year, which is underpaid, so he might want to make up for those productive years he wasn't paid that much. I'm guesstimating again here, but I'd say he's looking for a one year deal close to $10 million. Again, in past years, I would say no to that but witht he amount of money we'll have, I say go for it. If he has a productive season, we might be able to get some draft picks out of it.
Out of that group, I think Dunn makes the most sense for the Braves.
I'm going on the assumption that Tom Glavine and Smoltz will be brought back on very cheap, team friendly deals and Tim Hudson is missing the 2009 season.
SP R Jair Jurrjens
SP L Jo-Jo Reyes
SP R Jorge Campillo
SP R Charlie Morton
SP L/R Tom Glavine/John Smoltz (Maybe their production combined will equal one starter)
Well, this obviously needs a lot of upgrading. Jair Jurrjens and Jorge Campillo are my only locks. We need a frontline starter and a middle of the rotation guy. Need. Here are our free agent options:
SP R A.J. Burnett (may opt out of contract)
SP R Paul Byrd
SP R Jon Garland
SP R Derek Lowe
SP R Mike Mussina
SP L Oliver Perez
SP CC Sabathia
SP R Ben Sheets
SP L Randy Wolf
We thankfully have a semi-deep pitching free agency pool this year, well at least deeper than the outfield pool. We need at least two starters for next season, and not backend of the rotation either - we have plenty of those.
The biggest and best fit is CC Sabathia. I'm a big fan of him, despite his size being risky for later on in his contract. I think he'd be a great fit in Atlanta, giving us the ace we truly need. We have the money to afford him. He's going to be seeking quite the hefty contract, somewhere in the neighborhood of $18-20 million per year, for about 6-7 years - and he'll likely get it. We can use all that money we saved up for Teixeira to sign Sabathia and we'd likely get a better return.
Burnett will likely opt out, but I just don't like him. He's not a likeable guy. Plus, that's a bad contract for someone waiting to happen - he's injury prone. Speaking of bad contracts waiting to happen, Oliver Perez would be on my "no" list. He sounds valuable, young left handed power pitcher, but he's a freakin' headcase. Randy Wolf could be a cheap one or two year deal, but I don't think he likes the East Coast.
Jon Garland is very attractive as well. A lot of people don't like his lack of strikeouts and WHIP, but I think he's been around long enough to prove that he's not a fluke. He's a solid #2 starter who could eat a lot of innings.
Sheets is injury prone, but still very attractive. His past might make him a little cheaper than he should be. Stealing the Brewer's 1-2 punch would be an awesome offseason, but I don't know how realistic that is to do. That's a lot of outbidding.
That said, I think we should outbid everyone for a frontline pitcher and then pick up someone like Derek Lowe for a year or two to round it out until our younger pitching really develops. The frontline starter we need for a long time, so a long contract is fine - it's what we want.
Best case scenario:
SP L CC Sabatha
SP R Ben Sheets/R Jon Garland
SP R Tim Hudson
SP R Jair Jurrjens
SP Tom Glavine/R John Smoltz/R Jorge Campillo/L Jo-Jo Reyes
I just pooped a little looking at that. That obviously can't be what we expect, but I'd love Wren forever if he pulled that off - he could then do no wrong.
That's what we can do in the free agency market. The trade market is a little trickier, since everyone wants to contend for next season and people just don't trade their frontline starters for no elite prospects - which a lot of you can't stand the thought of doing. I think we should still pull off a huge trade (this time for a non-Scott Boras free agent). I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Braves will need a window of negotiations before they make another big trade.
I think the Braves should look for a true leadoff hitter, a power hitting outfielder, and a starting pitching for next season on the trade market. A leadoff hitter has been sorely lacked by the Braves offense since the days of Furcal - it could really bring some consistency to the lineup. I love Blanco and all - but he's a fourth outfielder/borderline starter.
LF R Jason Bay
OF L Carl Crawford (he's about to start getting a raise the cost-conscious Rays might not to pay since he's no longer the face of the franchise)
OF S Randy Winn
OF L David DeJesus
SP R Justin Duchscherer
I can't think of many starting pitchers that might be on the trade market and worth the Braves time. I think they'll have to stick to position players if they want to make a significant trade.
Jason Bay with a negotiation window would be the perfect fit of everything. But trade talks are apparently "dead" about that topic. Carl Crawford would give us our leadoff guy, but it'll also take a fortune in prospects.
I think the best fit would be Randy Winn for centerfield. He'd be a nice affordable leadoff man for the 2009 season and he'd gain us some draft picks when he left. He wouldn't take a lot of prospects to trade for and we could definitely keep our elite ones. He's only under contract for next year, so he wouldn't be blocking anyone. Winn switch hits with speed and gap power. He'd be a good pickup for us next season, playing left and/or center.
