Lions primed to host rugby playoff match
By Jeff Nations
Stuart Freakley makes no bones about it -- today's men's rugby match against Mount St. Mary's will likely be the toughest the Lions have every played in their program history.
Toughest, and biggest -- Lord Fairfax is hosting today's 1 p.m. match in the school's first-ever appearance in the National Small College Rugby Association (NSCRO) national playoffs. The winner of today's Mid-Atlantic South (Region 2) qualifier will advance to the NSCRO's "Sweet 16" (March 29-30) in Jacksonville, Fla.
The winner there, the Region 2 champion, will move on to the Final Four set for April 26-27 in Glendale, Colo.
First though, there is the matter of Mt. Saint Mary's for the Lions -- the Mount are currently ranked No. 13th in the nation by the NSCRO, while Lord Fairfax is rated No. 18. The Mount, members of the Potomac Rugby Union, went unbeaten in conference play.
"We're going to face a tough opponent," said Freakley, who serves as head coach of the Lord Fairfax men's squad. "It's going to be a tough match, probably the toughest match we've ever had."
Lord Fairfax has proven capable of handling difficult opponents in its brief history as a program. Since Freakley and LFCC head rugby coach Aaron Painter got the program up and running back in the spring of 2011, the school has made amazing strides in the sport.
After just missing out on the NSCRO national playoffs last year -- the first full season of competition -- by losing a head-to-head tiebreaker with Christopher Newport University, the Lions took it to another level this season. As new members of the six-team Cardinal Collegiate Conference, Lord Fairfax promptly won the conference and state championship (Virginia D-III) by beating top-seeded Hampden-Sydney 21-17 on Nov. 16, 2013.
That victory qualified Lord Fairfax for the national playoffs, and was the last match the program had played before the Lions prepared to return to their home field behind campus for today's match. Lord Fairfax is the first community college to ever qualify for the NSCRO national playoffs. The Lions won a coin flip for the right to host today's match.
"We've been practicing as we can," Freakley said. "If the weather lets us -- we've had some snow days -- but we've been trying to practice up to three times a week."
The Lions compiled a 5-2 record, including a 5-1 mark in the Cardinal Conference, and will be a full strength for today's match, which features free admission for spectators.
"We're pretty much the same roster to a man," Freakley said. "We've had some continuity from last semester to this semester, so we're in good shape."

Q: Which Eastern Conference team has the best road record vs. other Eastern teams this season?
A: The Wizards, who are 15-7 (.682).

Improve Your Seo Knowledge Using These Tips
With the magnification of e-commerce, search engine optimization can be a crucial process for any business organization, as seo greatly assist in targeting the final customers.
As many know, one of the primary reasons that SEO can be advantageous is because it contributes to a higher ranking in the Google search engine. However, while getting on the front page of the Google search results pages is great, there are other ways to advertise your blog content. As mentioned earlier, smo has become an increasingly important and effective way to put one's content in front of other people. Advertisements that appear in magazines and newspapers can also be an effective way to market your blog.
Ethical Organic SEO techniques are straightforward, sustainable and bring reliable results over a fairly long period of time. Any online business expecting to do well needs to dedicate time and energy to an ethical SEO strategy, to ensure that their web site is always visible and therefore profitable. This is a must because search engines constantly change their search methodology and their rankings.
Just about everyone on the planet has heard of the search engine giant that is Google. This is where the majority of searches are done within the US. If the marketing manager for a business has limited time for SEO and sem, this where is he or she should focus their efforts.
With reliable SEO experts in Mumbai, business owners can now implement result driven SEO strategies that will result in improved SERP rankings. These professionals always use ethical and approved strategies so that your online reputation is never at stake and your SERP rank is never adversely affected. Most of the leading SEO consultancy services from India now offer their services to numerous offshore clients located in the U.K., Australia, Sweden, Canada, France, Germany, U.S.A. and several other cities around the globe. Today, the Indian SEO consulting services are among the leading service providers at a fraction of the costs, elsewhere. Undoubtedly, Indian SEO professionals and consultants are in huge demand.
Website search engine optimization (SEO) is at the heart of all your marketing and promotional efforts and services. However, the best SEO efforts can go unfruitful if they are not in sync with technical requirements. For most small businesses in current times, website SEO is often the first step in promoting their business and client services. For a small or mid-size business, website SEO helps promotional efforts, reach out to target audiences, and save significant amounts of money on promotional efforts.
In today's Internet world, you really need more than traditional SEO to increase your online results. Because traditional SEO is focused on pushing only one web site up in the search results. That's kind of like trying to win at the game of Monopoly by only purchasing one property. Then you just hope others will land on that one property again and again and again.
SEO services company also liaises with their developer for technical adjustments in the web pages just to assure that SEO practices are constructed accurately so, that nothing can prevent it from attaining top search engine positions.

I am thinking of doing a reinstall of windows xp. I am having a problem installing a program and am at a dead end so I would like to reinstall windows and see if that helps. The program seems to install fine but when starting the program, I get the windows error message and it closes the program. I installed it as an administrator. The laptop is malware and virus free.It is an older dell laptop lattitude D600 1.6ghz. It is XP SP3 and is up to date with patches.My question is reinstalling windows - will it kill any files and folders in the user account folder i.e. c:\documents and setting\myname\my documentsordoes it just reinstall the operating system and leave the user account folder data as is?I don't want to lose any data, just start with a fresh install of windows.
If this is from Windows install media, and often from OEM recovery mechanisms also (but not always), during the install you can choose the level of destructiveness you're looking for.There will be a screen where you can choose not to wipe out the existing installation, but instead overlay it with a clean install of Windows while maintaining the rest of the drive contents. (As opposed to formatting and installing to an empty volume.)That being said, two warnings:1. BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST ANYWAY. MAKE TWO COPIES AND TEST THEM.2. You'll have to reinstall applications in most cases because the registry will be overwritten anew, even though the contents of "C:\Program Files" will still technically be present. So prepare for that. Same goes for any customization of Windows settings.--Scott Brown Consulting
Try doing a repair install!How do you perform a reinstallation of Windows XP, sometimes called a repair installation?Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD, and restart your computer.1. When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.2. Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.3. Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.4. In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license agreement.5. Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.6. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.
If your Anti-Virus program has an exclusion zone, I would add this program to it and then see if you can run it.
I don't want to lose any data, just start with a fresh install of windows.
OZO is correct: the preferential way, for performance, stability and security, is to back out your data, reinstall clean and restore your data and applications. But, it can be more work. Or less, it depends.--Scott Brown Consulting
Thanks for the help. More trouble than it is worth. I am able to borrow a laptop from a family member and the program I need to use for a week or two runs fine so it saves me the trouble of trying to get it to run on this 6 year old laptop.

James Michael McAdoo scored 18 points and grabbed eight boards as the North Carolina Tar Heels beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday afternoon in South Bend. The Heels are now 16-7 overall on the season and 6-4 in the ACC. They also have a five game conference win streak after starting out ACC play with a 1-4 record. UNC hosts Duke Wednesday night in what should be an electric atmosphere in the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
It was the Irish, not the Heels, that got off to a fast start in this contest. Notre Dame jumped out to an early 10-2 lead with 15:40 left in the first half. The Heels responded with a mini-run of their own, cutting the lead to 13-10 after a Marcus Paige jumper. From there, the Irish controlled the pace and the score for most of the half.
It was just under two minutes left in the first half when the Heels tied up the game, and 30 seconds later the Heels took the lead off of a James Michael McAdoo dunk. UNC never let go of the lead after that point, keeping a four point lead at halftime and expanding the lead to 16. In the end, North Carolina hit their free throws and held off the Irish for the 11 point win.
UNC had very balanced scoring, with five players scoring more than nine points in the contest. JMM led all Tar Heels with 18, and Marcus Paige was right behind him with 16 points and six assists. JP Tokoto chipped in 13 points in one of his best games of the season, and Brice Johnson added in 10 points off the bench. A lot of UNC's offense also came off turnovers. Notre Dame turned over the ball 17 times on the afternoon, leading to many easy buckets in transition for the Heels.
For the Irish offense, it was center Garrick Sherman leading the way with 17 points. Guard Pat Connaughton grabbed 10 boards and scored seven points, while Eric Atkins had a rough shooting day but still scored 12 points. As a team, the Irish shot 45.5% from the field and 6-21 from three after an early 4-4 start from deep.
North Carolina had a great day from the free throw line, converting 16 of 21 attempts for 76%. James Michael McAdoo had a particularly strong day, going a perfect 6-6 from the charity stripe. Shooting wise, UNC finished with 27 makes on 61 attempts for 44.3%. The Heels struggles from the three point line mirrored Notre Dame's struggles, as UNC shot an ugly 27% from downtown.
It is great to see the game to game improvement from this UNC team after such a poor start to ACC play. Back on January 20th after the Virginia loss, most UNC fans would have never thought the Heels would have any chance to beat the Dukies or Pittsburgh later on in the season. But now, with the Heels on a five game win streak and playing some of their best ball of the season, it wouldn't surprise anyone.

and sex across a wide variety of disease categories and geographic regions. The DALY's development has beenand undoubtedly will continue to besomewhat embattled, as has every past effort to develop composite indicators that go beyond measuring mortality. The conceptualizers of the DALY have been at some pains to state that it is one more step in a process, not some ideal methodologic endpoint, and have invited critical comment as a way to enhance its utility. At the same time, the DALY advances the field by incorporating several new features. First, it explicitly incorporates some ethical dimensions and value choices by taking into account the meaning of loss of welfare and the implications of time lived with a disability, weighing the severity of the disability, treating health outcomes equitably, and measuring the value of human life at different ages by using an exponential function that reflects the dependence of the young and the elderly on adults. The inclusion of these value choices serves to make the indicator applicable across a wide range of environments, by age group and by gender. For comparable reasons, the indicator can also be used in conjunction with the literature on cost-effectiveness of health interventions. At the same time, it is primarily these value choices that are at the heart of the ongoing debate about the DALY approach.
The analysis of changes in distributions of global health expenditures and flows of external assistance to the health sectors in developing countries raises large and challenging questions, especially when the relative volumes of those expenditures are poised against the structure of the global burden of disease. For example, given its small size relative to overall health expenditures in developing countries, what is the appropriate role for external assistance and how can that role be maximized realistically, respectfully, and usefully? What will be the effects of the de facto shift in the ODA portfolio away from bilateral dominance to dominance by multilateral banks? What might be said about the small proportion of GPD in the established market economies that is dedicated to ODA, recognizing that some of those countries have their own economic problems and that previous attempts to seek global formulas and standard funding commitments have been almost totally unsuccessful? What might be done about the lack of compatibility between the burden of certain diseases or conditions and the corresponding proportions of ODA and research dedicated to them?

Spanish InquisitionTalk2
this wiki
Redirected from Inquisitors
The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, commonly known as the Spanish Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, the King and Queen of Spain. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under Papal control. The Inquisitors were known for their unnecessary amount of violence towards non-Catholics.
The first Inquisitor General was Tomás de Torquemada, who in 1491 was persuaded by Rodrigo Borgia to arrest a number of Spanish Assassins after giving him a list of supposed heretics. After Luis de Santángel requested his aid, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze traveled to Spain to free his brothers and killed several Inquisitors, namely Gaspar Martínez, Pedro Llorente and Juan de Marillo. However, Ezio spared Torquemada when he learned he was not a Templar, and had been manipulated by Rodrigo into arresting the Assassins.[1]
The Assassins eventually killed Torquemada in 1498,[2] while Luis began poisoning Queen Isabella in an attempt to end the Inquisition, having learned that Cesare Borgia, with the Church's backing, had been threatening her to facilitate the Inquisition's spread into Portugal. The Italian Assassins sent by Ezio continued Luis' work following his death. Regardless, Manuel I of Portugal chose to allow the Inquisition into his country, and opted to banish the Jewish population. The Assassins helped many flee to Constantinople, and assisted those who could not to fight for themselves.[3]

Steele (2000) conducted a telephone survey of veterans who were Kansas residents and had served during the Gulf War. Of 2211 locatable and eligible veterans, 2030 agreed to participate (92%). Fifty were eliminated because their self-reported deployment status could not be verified. A total of 1548 Gulf War deployed veterans and 482 nondeployed veterans were interviewed about the presence of physician-diagnosed or physician-treated disorders with new onset after the Gulf War. Respiratory disorders were more commonly reported among deployed than nondeployed. Gulf War deployed veterans were twice as likely to report suffering from asthma (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.02-4.26) and were almost 5 times as likely to report suffering from lung disease (OR 4.77, 95% CI 1.14-20.04). The study adjusted for sex, age, income and education level and suffered from a slight differential participation rate between groups (93% in deployed veterans vs 88% nondeployed veterans).
Proctor et al. (2001a) compared responses to questionnaires between 148 Gulf War deployed veterans of the Fort Deven's cohort, and 50 Germany deployed veterans. The authors found that Gulf War deployed veterans reported more chronic respiratory allergies (16% vs 13%) and more chronic lung problems (11.8% vs 6.5 %). Neither of these differences reached statistical significance, and no adjustments were made in the comparisons.
McCauley et al. (2002), using a telephone survey, interviewed three groups of US Gulf War veterans with different deployment experiences. These included Gulf War deployed veterans in proximity to the Khamisiyah detonations, veterans deployed to the gulf during the war but not in proximity to the Khamisiyah detonations, and veterans who were on active duty during, but not deployed to, the Gulf War. The authors found a nonsignificant excess in self-reported diagnosis of lung disease among deployed versus nondeployed veterans (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.8-4.1) and no excess among Khamisiyah exposed versus Khamisiyah nonexposed veterans (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.8).
In a mailed symptom survey to a sample of veterans from the National Health Survey of the Gulf War Era Veterans and Their Families conducted in 1995 (Kang et al., 2000), Kang et al. (2009) found a significant excess of self-reports of physician-diagnosed emphysema or chronic bronchitis and asthma among 6111 randomly surveyed Gulf War veterans when compared to 3859 nondeployed era veterans. The study suffered from a very low response rate (34% overall) and lacked a mechanism for verification of self-reports.
Statistics Canada (2005) conducted a mortality follow-up study of Canadian Gulf War veterans and compared them to a reference group of randomly selected Canadian veterans eligible but not deployed to the Gulf War and to the general Canadian population. There were 5117 members in the deployed cohort and 6093 members in the nondeployed population. Probabilistic matching of the military records of the cohorts to mortality records from the Canadian Mortality Data Base was conducted. The study authors estimated the study power to be 80% to find a 60% increase in total mortality; however, there were insufficient deaths from respiratory disease (ICD-9, code 460-519) to make a meaningful comparison between veteran cohorts or with the general population.
Kang and Bullman (1996) examined standardized mortality rates (SMRs) for multiple causes of death among Gulf War veterans up to September 1993 compared to the general US population and to nondeployed veterans. They found a significant decrease in deaths due to respiratory illness (SMR 0.14, 95% CI 0.07-0.23) when Gulf War veterans were compared to the US population and a slight but insignificant increase when compared to nondeployed veterans. These observations were based on very small numbers including only 14 deaths in both the deployed and nondeployed groups. A second study updated the same cohort for mortality

A new survey says Governor Bobby Jindal's approval rating has fallen sharply since last fall. The Southern Media Opinion and Research poll says Jindal's approval rating now stands at 38%. That's compared to a 51% rating last fall. The research firm says several factors--including cuts to higher education and health care, plans to privatize the charity hospital system, and the governor's tax plan--contributed to the low rating.
Southern Media Opinion and Research says that the poll was conducted by phoning 600 Louisiana residents at random over a two-day period. The margin of error is +/-4%

My nipples
don't stick out!
Between 2 and 10 percent of women have
flat or inverted nipples that retract into their breasts instead of pointing
out. In some cases, they can pop out temporarily, while some hide out
full-time. For many people, the nipples will work themselves out during puberty.
And even if that doesn't happen—no worries! Just like having an innie belly
button, innie nipples are perfectly healthy.
I have huge
stretch marks on my boobs!
Stretch marks are a
super-common side effect of a breast growth spurt. Try not to freak, because
they'll lighten up as you get older. "When you get them at first you say 'Oh my

Kathy McCoy, author of The Teenage Body Book.
My boobs change
sizes every day!
Breasts often swell when
Aunt Flo is in town, and shrink back down when she's gone. But it's possible
your body image may be at play here, too. The way you see your body can change
every day (or hour, or minute, or second!), so it might explain why your twins
are constantly changing in your eyes. Plus, the type of shirt or bra you're
wearing can have a huge impact on how busty you look.
My girls are
different sizes!
Almost everyone has a little
extra on one side or the other, and for some of us, it's more pronounced. No
worries—with some bra magic you can look perfectly symmetrical. Just take the
removable padding (called a "cookie" or a "demi pad") out of the cup on your
larger breast and double up on your smaller breast. "That's how I was able to
disguise it," said Luciani, who grew up with two very different sized boobs. "It's

Spotting some stray hair? Nothing to worry about! "Girls
who have darker or more coarse hair will often see hair growth around the

remember: pluck, don't shave. The last thing you want is boob stubble!
My boobs are
really hard!
The hardness or density of
breasts is different for everyone. "It's affected by genetics, body weight and
age," said Dr. Geanacou. Since younger girls tend to have firmer, denser
breasts, this is totally normal.

If Netanyahu believed in peace, he'd leave the Likud
Depending on when you read this, is it possible that the disembowelling of the Likud by the most fanatical and idiotic of annexationists will have been completed.
The process has been short and swift. Prior to the last election, Likud primary voters selected a party list lousy with reactionary, myopic territorial maximalists: Ze'ev Elkin; Yariv Levin; Tzipi Hotovely; Miri Regev; Moshe Feiglin; and Ofir Akunis. In so doing, Likud voters pushed out a number of Revisionist Zionists who were considered to be too mushy, due in part to their respect of the most basic precepts of domestic and international law and norms: Michael Eitan; Dan Meridor; and Benny Begin.
Chief among those to benefit from the primaries was Danny Danon, a cheap and shallow charlatan and shameless self-promoter whose very name ought to make one's skin come alive in irritation. Twenty-fourth on the Likud list in 2009, Danon shot up to fifth place in 2013, thus securing ninth place on the joint Likud Beiteinu list and the right after the election to demand for himself a cosy cabinet position.
All this is remarkable considering Danon is an astonishingly vapid and incurious man with no notable legislative or intellectual accomplishments who somehow became a deputy speaker in the last Knesset and Deputy Defence Minister in this one. Indeed, considering his main political proposal consists of annexing most if not all of the West Bank, never mind the Palestinians who live there, one might say his very existence is an anti-intellectual endeavour, or at least one not grounded in the real or substantial.
Danon's principal interest, in fact, when not propagating land theft or attempting to suppress and denigrate Israel's minorities is augmenting his international media profile and personal brand, doing whatever is necessary to grab five more minutes of airtime. This unappetising combination of self-aggrandisement and philosophical emptiness was best demonstrated when he considered inviting Glenn Beck – a man who has at the very least flirted with anti-Semitism in his criticism of George Soros – to address the Knesset Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs Committee, about which he knows nothing at all. Only a shameless dope would consider this to be a tasteful or desirable thing to do.
The Road They Didn't Take
Thoughts of mortality, of committing thousands of young men and reservists to war, ought to trouble and concentrate the mind. Worrisome, then, are the loose lips of Israel's top brass like Eli Yishai, who stated Saturday, "The goal of the operation is to send Gaza back to the Middle Ages". Disconcerting too are the attitudes of Michael Ben-Ari, who stated he wants to see 2,000 killed in Gaza, and Gilad Sharon, son of Ariel, who wrote in The Jerusalem Post the following:
We need to flatten entire neighbourhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn't stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren't surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too. There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing.
Their detached attitude to combat, the blasé stance on the sanctity of life, the ease with which they would commit their nation to a war of destruction and desolation, is wicked, callous, and truly frightening. It can't help but bring to mind, during this month in which we mark the conclusion of the First World War, Wilfred Owen's take on the Binding of Isaac, "The Parable Of The Old Man And The Young". After the angel of the Lord appears before Abraham and commands him to offer up "the Ram of Pride" over his threatened son, Owen's verse takes a grim turn:
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.
Four years ago, Israel was on the verge of a ground war with Hamas and other militant organisations based in the Gaza Strip after a significant uptick in rocket attacks upon civilians living in the Negev. In the elections that followed Operation Cast Lead – which halted the showers of explosives, at a cost of thirteen dead Israelis and 700 dead Palestinian non-combatants – Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud gained fifteen more seats and formed a government of parties opposed to peace, or to use the father Benzion's adage, in favour of an accord that they must know the Palestinians would never accept.
To say that history is repeating itself, or is in danger of doing so, would be facetious and a little cheap. Yet the familiarity of the position Israel finds herself in – at war with Hamas once more, no closer to an agreement with the PLO, and weeks away from a general election – should certainly sharpen the focus of the Israeli voter and give them just cause to reflect on the Netanyahu administration's failings.

Economics Over Easy
For $50,000 per head, guests at the King David Hotel on Monday morning received a menu which included croissants, coffee, various cheeses, eggs, salad and shakshuka. On the side, attendees at this fundraising breakfast were treated to a joint economics and social studies lecture from Mitt Romney on the "dramatic, stark difference in economic vitality" between Israel and the Palestinian Territories. "Culture makes all the difference" Romney said, citing David Landes' findings in The Wealth and Poverty of Nations as his inspiration for such a conclusion.
Landes' work, oft-cited by Romney, argues that beginning with the United Kingdom, nations which have become wealthy and prosperous have done so because their national cultures were and are amongst other things capitalistic, meritocratic, technocratic and science-orientated. By extension, countries that have experienced stunted development have failed to integrate these qualities into their own cultures. It is Landes' assertion, for example, that Islam has discouraged diversity, initiative, and education in the countries where it is the predominant religion under authoritarian, oil-rich regimes.
Within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian dynamic, Romney's emphasis on Landes' shambling and sweeping conclusions regarding national culture could not be less helpful or enlightening. Rather, the present disparity – where the GDP per capita in Israel is $31,400 compared to $2,900 in the West Bank – is directly attributable to the ongoing politico-military conflict and the influential role of governments and institutions, of the political culture.
Romney in Israel: Now We Know
Now we know that Mitt Romney did not really much care for the idea of not criticising the President, or contradicting the nation's current foreign policy, when outside the United States. "Diplomatic distance that is public and critical emboldens Israel's adversaries," he proclaimed in a speech in Jerusalem on Sunday. In the same address, he referred to the city as "Israel's capital", in defiance of official U.S. policy on the matter.
Now we know, or rather we can confirm, that Romney has no ear for poetry or language, and lacks the ability to turn a phrase and convey real human emotions. During an address at a fundraising breakfast Monday morning that was supposed to convey his appreciation and even love for Israel, Romney said, "As I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognise the power of at least culture and a few other things". I recognise the power of at least culture and a few other things. The trees are the right height. Its roads and houses are small.
Now we know there's nothing Romney will not do to peel Jewish voters away from the Democrats, no matter how offensive his gesture. Jeffrey Goldberg described as "very vulgar" his decision to be photographed in prayer at the Western Wall on Tisha B'Av – the day on which the First and Second Temples were destroyed, "one of the most solemn days on the Jewish calendar". "I'm sure, by the way," Goldberg added, that conservatives "would endorse an Obama campaign stop at Yad Vashem on the Holocaust Memorial Day".
Kadima Means Nothing — Ariel Is Worse
The break-up of Benjamin Netanyahu and Shaul Mofaz's marriage of convenience bears no significance for the future of the peace process. The partnership between Likud and Kadima was never a serious endeavour to begin with, in spite of much talk about reforming the electoral process, introducing a universal draft, and even kick-starting the moribund talks between Netanyahu and Abbas. Rather, the deal was made entirely out of necessity: for Mofaz to elongate the life of his sham of a party, a project he has now surely annulled; for Netanyahu to continue his principal policy of inactivity on all fronts, under the auspices of national unity.
Far more noteworthy, at least when it comes to the hope that, someday, a democratic, Jewish state might reside with a democratic, Palestinian state in a condition of perpetual if uneasy peace, is the decision by the Judea and Samaria Council for Higher Education (JSCHE) to recognise the Ariel University Center as a full-fledged university. In doing so, the JSCHE have gone over the heads of the Council for Higher Education which recommended against recognition, thereby establishing Israel's first university beyond the Green Line in the occupied territories.
But, as Liel Leibovitz notes in Tablet, the word of the council is essentially meaningless when it comes to the occupied territories:
Because Israeli law doesn't apply in the West Bank…all civilian affairs in the region are overseen by the Israel Defence Forces. In 1997, after the council refused to supervise a number of nascent Jewish academic institutions established east of the Green Line, a new body was formed, called the Council for Higher Education in Judea and Samaria (CHEJS). Its members are appointed by the army.
And, that this university has been established in Ariel only augments the controversy, given the settlement's position in the West Bank. Ariel competes with Ma'ale Adumim for the indignity of being the most controversial settlement in all of the West Bank, principally due to its size – a city of some 17,700 people – and its location, some 13km west of the Green Line, north of Ramallah and southwest of Nablus. Netanyahu has previously referred to Ariel as a suburb of Tel Aviv, "the heart of Israel", and "an integral, inseparable part of the state of Israel in any future arrangement". Yet having the borders of any prospective Israeli state swoop around the settlement would create a lengthy talon of land that not would only threaten the contiguity of a Palestinian state, but would be indefensible and vulnerable to enemy assault.
The decision by the JSCHE is a far more dangerous and destructive event than the slipping away of Shaul Mofaz and his gang of status quo politicians into the political night. Because, much like the Levy Report, its acceptance beyond those who have a vested interest in its continuation represents a normalisation of perpetual occupation or eventual annexation, either of which would end finally and irreversibly the notion of Israel as both a Jewish and democratic state.
In Israel, How to End an Occupation
How does one solve a problem like a messy occupation of two and a half million people that threatens to make invalid a state's Jewish and democratic character? Or, to put it another way, when is an occupation not an occupation? Apparently, when you appoint a committee to declare it so — that, in fact, because "Judea and Samaria have been under Israeli control for decades, and it is impossible to foresee a time when Israel will relinquish these territories, if ever".
A report by a committee formed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to examine the legal aspects of West Bank land ownership rejects the claim that Israel's presence in the territory is that of an occupying force and asserts that its settlements and settlement outposts there are legal.
The Levy Committee, headed by former Supreme Court vice president Edmond Levy, recommends a fundamental change in the legal regime in the West Bank, including the annulment of a long list of laws, High Court of Justice Rulings and procedures in order to permit Jews to settle in all of Judea and Samaria.
The committee also propagated the following: the legalisation all the outposts even without a retroactive government decision; the cancellation of the order that allows the head of the Civil Administration to force settler-farmers off ostensibly Palestinian land, even if there is no Palestinian complainant; and the annulment the High Court of Justice decision of 1979 that forbids the expropriation of land for "military needs" when the intent is to build settlements.
In other words, the Israeli government becomes master of the land — to hell with the people who live there. The corrupting impact of the lengthy and unwanted occupation is evident in such beggared and bankrupt thinking.
Diplomatically, it is almost impossible for Benjamin Netanyahu to accept and ratify the findings of the very committee he appointed, for it would unleash a torrent of condemnation and divestment which would result in the near-total isolation of his state. Should he reject the panel's recommendation, then once more he would have ended up satisfying all sides without doing anything to actually advance the cause of peace: the settlers will have their document, their pamphlet, their justification; the peace movement will be content that their notions never became law.

Analysts Question Research on China Nuclear Arms
Analysts who study China's nuclear forces have criticized research by a U.S. academic suggesting the People's Liberation Army might have massively scaled up the size of its nuclear arsenal and hidden the new warheads in an elaborate tunnel system, Agence France-Presse reported (see GSN, Nov. 30).
Georgetown University professor Phillip Karber said a research project with his students indicates the Chinese military could have an arsenal of as many as 3,000 nuclear warheads. Karber said the research involved study of satellite photographs of tunnel construction, official PLA documents and open-source material such as personal Internet posts and a television drama.
Beijing does not publicize the exact number of weapons it holds but expert estimates generally put the Chinese nuclear stockpile at between 80 and 400 warheads.
"China has not produced enough fissile material to produce 3,000 nuclear weapons," said Hans Kristensen who directs the Federation of American Scientists' Nuclear Information Project. "Nor do they have delivery systems for so many weapons. It's just inaccurate on all fronts, that estimate."
The Defense Department stands by its own projection of China's nuclear deterrent. Karber's 363-page report on the matter has been studied by Pentagon officials, a high-ranking source said.
"The findings of the report have been noted," the official said. "There is no change in our assessment."
Kristensen criticized the report's reliance on old data and questionable sources. "You cannot extrapolate from old data," he said to AFP.
Union of Concerned Scientists China nuclear forces expert Gregory Kulacki said many of the conclusions about the number of nuclear warheads came from the Chinese blogosphere. He said the report did not disclose that the estimate of up to 3,000 weapons originated with an article in the Hong Kong Trend magazine and not a Chinese government report, as Karber has said.
"This is not competent scholarship," Kulacki said in a Thursday web post for the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Kristensen said China's tunnel system was begun in the 1950s and that Beijing's desire to keep the locations of its nuclear weapons hidden to protect them from a feared disarming attack is widely known.
"That's something countries do and China does it too," Kristensen said.
He said the analysis also had "some really serious problems with satellite interpretation." Kristensen highlighted the report's determination that one satellite image taken above South China showed a new ballistic missile installation. "It's not a missile base at all. It looks to be a cluster of storage facilities for military ammunition."
Karber, an ex-high-ranking Defense Department official, is standing by his research and said it has elicited a worthwhile public discussion about China's nuclear forces (Dan De Luce, Agence France-Presse/Google News, Dec. 2).

Far South Minneapolis Suggestions
I've lived in Minneapolis for over 9 years now and still have trouble finding dining places that I get really excited about. I'm hoping that you guys can help.
The last two weeks have taken me to Chicago and Boston and I was able to search the Chowhound boards for those cities to find great suggestions that were perfect fits for my style. I've been reading the midwest board for several years now and just don't seem to get lots of the places that get rave reviews here. I miss the type of places that I was used to in Atlanta - funky, inviting places where the emphasis was on the food, not on the scene and certainly not on the ego of the chef (or god forbid, the waitstaff.) I guess to sum it up, all I want is solid food in an unpretentious, hospitable environment.
Yesterday, (thanks to a huge line at Sea Salt and my readings on this board) I found one of those perfect fits - Birchwood Cafe. My wife, my two-year old and I all loved the place right from the start. Great food, welcoming staff and an attractive space all came together to ensure that we'll be visiting again soon (and kicking myself for not going earlier.)
The only drawback is that it's a bit of a drive from our part of south Minneapolis (near Diamond Lake.) So I'm hoping that others might have some suggestions for new spots for us to try that are closer to home.
I'm surprised that no one has responded.
Any specific cuisine you're looking for? Are you looking for more restaurants that are just like Birchwood (which I would characterize as laid back with food that is good but not particularly complicated -- that's my own personal take) or things that are up a notch or down a notch?
Thinking about your neighborhood, have you been to any of these places?
Corner Table
Scott Ja Mama's
Pane Dolce Vino
Broder's Pasta Bar
First Course
I like some of these places better than others, but didn't know what your taste buds are craving.
re: bob s
Oh, is that where "far south Minneapolis" is? Then wouldn't the new Cafe Levain be a good fit, too? (and Turtle Bread, too, of course.) If I recall Danny's post, it was supposed to open yesterday, wasn't it? Has anyone been, yet?
EDIT: here's a link to Danny's post: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/40917...
I think the housemade salsa at Pepitos is absolutely addicting. Very smokey and smooth. The rest of the food isn't exceptional, but oh, that salsa!
Kilgore, I live in the same neighborhood (and also have a wife and two-year-old-- you must be my Chowhound doppelganger). Looking at your previous posts I don't think I can come up with something that close that you haven't already tried.
I would have said First Course--we have been there many, many times and enjoyed it--but you posted that you got Bad Attitude from them and won't be back.
We go to Binh Minh (on 60th at Portland) often mostly just because its close. The Chinese "Vietnamese" food is nothing outstanding, although I must say I love their halibut and chips, which I think compare favorably to Mac's in St. Paul.
I am sure you have done the 5-8 Club and Fat Lorenzo's so that pretty much covers everything between 35W and Cedar, the Crosstown and the creek. If there were something on par with the Birchwood in that zone we'd be there ALL THE TIME! I think there are places like this elsewhere in South Minneapolis, but we have to search further afield.
There are a lot of places at 48th & Chicago. I wonder how the revamped "neighborhood" Cafe Levain will pan out? Probably will still be a higher pricepoint than Birchwood.
Colossal Cafe on 42nd at Cedar is very good, and has sidewalk tables now that the weather is nice, but I think they are breakfast/lunch only. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/334806
re: EarlOfSandwich
If I lived in that area, I suspect I would be a regular at My-T-Fine Cafe, Hot Plate, Crema Cafe (a bit of a reach), Turtle Bread Company, Highland Grill (within 2-3 miles of Sea Salt, across the river), and Colossal Cafe, and the aforementioned Cafe Levain and Firefly would be high on my to-do list. Broder's and the rest of the 50th and France stuff would be in play as well. Of course so would Rustica Bakery, but I'm already practically a regular there, and Liberty Custard. Now I'm getting off-topic. All of the above strike me as similar to Birchwood in their neighborhood feel and penchant for quality, wholesome ingredients, prepared with care.
re: EarlOfSandwich
We live just north of the parkway from Diamond Lake and went to Binh Minh once on our way home from the airport. Honestly it was so horrible I would never eat there again. I believe we got steamed dumplings, pho and something else. Maybe I'll send husband there for the fish and chips, he does love Mac's.
Many of our local spots have been mentioned by others - Turtle Bread, Ba gu, Broders, Al Vento and Hot Plate, I'm actually really willing to drive further, as long as I know parking will be simple so I consider restaurants in Longfellow like the Riverview Wine Bar, Town Talk or Midori's definitely close enough for a weeknight meal. I'm really looking forward to Cafe Levain and Cafe Maude as they're about a 5 minute drive for us.
re: katebauer
Is Binh Minh the place off Portland(?) just north of the Crosstown that has the sign "Asian Food and Fish & Chips" or something? If so (or whatever that place is), I wouldn't personally bother with the fish and chips again -- they were very ho hum.
re: MSPD
I went for the first time a few weeks ago when my family was out of town. On the menu, they had "fish and chips" and "halibut and chips." I got the halibut version and thought they were OK.
However, the owner said that he was dropping the halibut in the near future, because of the cost of the fish. Don't know if it's happened yet or not.
re: EarlOfSandwich
Try Singapore!, a little Malaysian restaurant tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood on the corner of 55th St. and 34th Ave. Their Captain's Curry was really good when I went there. Also get an order of roti paratha for your group.
The Birchwood is wonderful, isn't it? There's nothing just like it. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance.
But how about these S.Mpls places? They're not exactly in your neighborhood, but they're much closer to you than the Birchwood. And they're all places that I wish I lived closer to.
Lucia's To Go (31st & Hennepin)
Rustica Bakery (no meals, just wonderful bread and pastries)
Gigi's Cafe (36th & Aldrich)
Perla del Pacifico (60th & Nicollet?)
Colossal Cafe
Hot Plate
Natural Escape Mexican Cafe (60th & Lyndale?)
re: AnneInMpls
I'm so glad someone mentioned the Perla Del Pacifico -- love that place. I mean, go with appropriate expectations -- it's a little dive-y and you won't find gourmet or fusion or new Mexican, but it's just a great little Mexican restaurant in a glaringly yellow cinderblock building with great food and (mostly) friendly service.
Another recommendation, since we're talking south Minneapolis, is the (sort of) new Grand Cafe at 38th & Grand. I have had a few fabulous meals there, and the service has been outstanding. It doesn't have as funky a feel as the Birchwood, but it is really a lovely restaurant with great food and top notch service.
re: Samanth2
I second Perla Del Pacifico!
We live up in Fridley, but I used to live in SW Mpls, and we miss that place. I only wish they could keep the carnitas 'in stock' as they are almost always out of them when we make it there.
I seem to recall 2 for 1 margaritas before 8pm m-Th that were very good. On the rocks, no blender foofoo please! This may or may not still be available.
Give it a try!
I'm not sure which side of S. Mpls you live on, but I live just East of Lake Nokomis. Here are my recs:
Al Vento (best Italian place I've been to in the cities)
Dominguez Restaurant (nice neighborhood Mexican, good fish and shrimp tacos)
Hot Plate
Colossal Cafe (ginormous pancakes! Fave breakfast place)
Singapore! (Malaysian restaurant at 56th St. and 34th Ave. Get the calamari! Really sweet owners)
I think that Anne said it best when she said "The Birchwood is wonderful, isn't it? There's nothing just like it." I guess that we'll be getting familiar with that stretch of Cedar as we make the trip.
As for stuff closer to home, thanks for all the thoughtful suggestions.
I should have specified that I was looking for dinner spots - some of the most interesting suggestions close up early. Based on what I've read, Colossal Cafe seems to have the vibe that we're looking for but with their hours, there's no chance to give it a try. A while back, we were excited to hear that Hot Plate was going to be serving dinner. We went once and the wait was too long and then walked up a couple of more times before realizing they are back to Breakfast/Lunch only.
I've tried quite a few of the other close-in suggestions with mixed results:
When we moved from Northeast to this part of town, we were very excited about the Chicago and 48th area, but our actual experiences there haven't lived up to our expectations. We went to Pepito's right after we moved in and had horrible service and sloppy, gloppy food. Chicago Deli was certainly nothing special. We haven't tried Turtle Bread as I've always thought of it as a chain bakery, are the cafe items good? As for their related spots, gotta stay away from the ice cream, but I need to try Pizza Biga. And "that place with the red door," what I'd read about the previous incarnation struck me as the antithesis of the laid back type spot I'm looking for. Hopefully the new version will be a great neighborhood addition -- but I'm still wondering if it will be a place where young children will be welcomed or simply tolerated.
Another big disappointment that we tried soon after moving was Scott Ja Mama's. Their sign says barbecue, but those ribs hadn't seen a bit of smoke - I don't even think that they were finished on a grill. Before the Diamond Lake Bridge was removed, we used to pass by a couple of times a week and I've NEVER seen or smelled anything resembling smoke coming from there.
We do go to Fat Lorenzo's quite a bit. It's a very hospitable place, the little one loves the pizza and atmosphere and I really like the hot hoagies.
5-8 Club is fine, but only go a couple of times a year. Since we've started eating healthier, we rarely eat fried foods, so it takes several days to get over the grease hangover.
Sea Salt is great for the summer and my favorite outdoor spot in town. Just wish it didn't seem to be everyone else's too - the lines are killer now that the concerts in the park have started.
Based on your suggestions, there are a couple of areas that I realized that we've been overlooking. I'm definitely going to check out Broder's (saw a good article in the StarTribune recently) and other options in the 50th & France neighborhood. Also, I keep forgetting how close the Highland area of St. Paul is to us. That's a great backup option when we just can't face the line at Sea Salt - we can just cross the river and explore.
Several individual suggestions caught my eye:
I'd forgotten about Firefly, we said we were going to walk up there one day - so we should do that soon.
I'm putting a trio of Mexican spots on our list - Natural Escape, Perla del Pacifico and Dominguez Family Restaurant.
We've been planning to go to Al Vento, but always thought that we'd need to get a babysitter for the little one. She's well behaved and a very adventurous eater for a two year old - should we take her there or leave her at home?
re: Kilgore
Hi, Kilgore. I also live in the Diamond Lake area, and I suppose I am another doppelganger. I have both the a) wife and b) toddler. I will comment on a few of the places you inquired about and a few you haven't.
Al Vento is very much worth a try. Get a seat on the patio, if you can. They have an off-the-menu kid's spaghetti & veal meatball dish which my toddler likes. The servers are friendly to kids. They also do a pretty nice weekend brunch which includes Italian antipasto.
Turtle Bread isn't a chain -- they have a couple of locations plus an outpost in the skyway system. The bakery items are excellent. Lunch and breakfast options can be good; service is generally friendly but clueless. (This was also my experience at Levain.) The ice cream shop next door -- Pumphouse Creamery -- is fabulous, but it has no ownership connection with Turtle Bread.
Ba Gu Sushi (across the street) is not bad. They do carryout.
Broder's is terrific. Beware of long waits on weekend evenings. They also do carryout.
Another nearby option is Morelos Mex Grill in the Hub shopping center at Nicollet & 66th. Pretty decent Americanized Mexican food.
re: Jordan
Thanks for the info on Al Vento - we'll take her with us and give it a try soon.
I guess I thought of Turtle Bread as a chain because of that skyway location - it's not far from my office. We'll have to head up to the Chicago location one evening - they must be open for dinner since they list their hours until 9PM.
re: Jordan
Besides Broder's Pasta Bar, there is also Broder's Cucina Italiana across the street. Much more of a "red sauce" deli counter than a formal restaurant, but there are several tables. It's the best restaurant in the world according to my 7 year old who is a pasta hound. I enjoy their eggplant parmigiana, their pizza, and their stromboli as well as their pasta.
re: Jordan
My wife and I love Heidi's, which opened up last Fall and already requires reservations to get a table. Another favorite is Primo's around Lyndale and 48th. Cafe Levain on 48th and Chicago is always good. South Minneapolis has lots of high end and lots of average restaurants now -- the important thing is the word "lots".
re: Kilgore
Kilgore, I have three kids and would take them to all of my recommendations above (although I didn't post based on dinner obviously).
I had started in on BBQ but deleted it, trying to stay along the lines of healthy/wholesome. Since you mention Scott JaMama's, I share in your opinion. I don't get it at all. Ted Cook's up on E 38th near Hiawatha is a different story -- not world class BBQ but it's pretty close to the top in MSP. Take-out only but you're close to Minnehaha Park and could do a picnic.
re: MSPD
I know it isn't the healthiest place but we like Adrians on 48th & Chicago. It's like a small town bar where you can bring the whole family. There's always lots of kids and it's friendly. I agree about Dominguez, Hot Plate and Al Vento, all great. Perla, not so great. The one time we went, the food was of such poor quality I couldn't go back. There is rumored to be a veg/mex place in a strip mall on Lyndale near 65th but that's all I know. I love the diner on 54th and 34th Ave (Nokomis Cafe?) for breakfast but that's a bit out of your way. We need more and better restaurants down here!
re: Scotty2hotty
The place is called Cafe Ena. Here is a link to a chowhound posting:
Has anyone tried Shiraz? It's where Cintias of Mexico used to be. The sign says "Fire-roasted Mediterranean"
If you are willing to trek to the other side of Lake Harriet Cafe 28 and Rice Paper are both good bets and pretty casual. We've eaten at cafe 28 a lot with our toddler. It has the added bonus that you can run next door to Wild Rumpus with the kid if they get antsy waiting for food ( or afterward if you want to add something to the library). Cafe 28 has arguably the best beer list in Minnesota. It helps that the co-owner is one of the brains behind Surly. Their selection of Belgian imports is rock solid too.
Cafe Maude would be an easy shot for you. I haven't been there myself, but I have yet to hear someone say a bad word about the place.
Matt's Bar if you are looking for a different take on the juicy lucy is an institution in South Minneapolis.
I don't know if you have made it to Biga yet, but I've found it disappointing. A better bet is to go to Punch in Highland, preferably before the dinner rush with a toddler. The place is packed pretty tight, so if you have a wee one in a high chair they may help themselves to your neighbor's pizza, salad, beer, etc.
Victor's at 38th & Grand is fun Cuban food. I have eaten there a lot with my daughter (usually for breakfast though) and the food is good and it's a fun vibe.
Pepito's is much maligned and not much of a "foodie" destination, but there are some hidden gems on their menu. My personal favorite is the Poco Loco wings. They take a while but they are probably the best wings I've had in Minnesota.
I've eaten at Grand Cafe with my daughter and they are pretty laid back about kids and I enjoyed their food. The walleye cakes were fantastic on my last visit.
I just had lunch this week at Blackbird on 50th & Bryant. The food was great and judging by the basket of board books in the window they are pretty child friendly too.
So this started back in June & I'm sure Kilgore has tasted lots of good food in the neighborhood by now. I like the lists as we live nearby here as well.
I can't believe no one mentioned Victor's 1959 Cafe? Anyone. Seriously good! Did enjoy Migh-T-Fine, though, as well.
Also, drive to Portland & 78th and get La Mixteca. Super tasty mexican, plus Kabob's & India Cafe are pretty good, so I've heard. Once we're in that little mall we can't help but get mexican, though -- so addicting.
Do you dislike the malt shop? We like ice cream, and the foods not half bad. Not stellar, but diverse enough that you'll find something you like. -- or Broder's Cucina.
We wanted to move closer to Diamond Lake, but we thought it would be bad for our help. We already end up stopping @ Liberty's about 90% of the time we're in the neighborhood, which is kind of a lot =)
Looking forward to trying Blackbird - thanks for the heads up!
re: reannd
bad for your help?
I have an 18 month old, and yes, Cafe Twenty-Eight is fantastic! I'd also recommend Pizza Nea on Lake Street, Cafe Ena on 46th/Grand, Victor's Cafe on oh...38th/Grand(?), French Meadow (which has tableservice after 5pm now), Broder's, Busters on 28, Blackbird Cafe on 50th/Bryant, El Meson on Lyndale, and Bagu Sushi on Chicago.
re: bob s
Yes, that new place should be open now. I can't recall the name of it, but it's run by the former chef from Five. They had a soft opening in mid-September and were supposed to have a grand opening by the end of the month. Rick Nelson interviewed the guy. They'll have some of the same menu items that Five did, but at lower price points.
re: pgokey
I think it's called Heidi's (after Stuart Woodman's wife) who runs the FOH.
re: autmommy
I was just at Blackbird today and the former PVD location is still not ready, in fact it is totally empty. I did see people working there on Tuesday when I was at Blackbird. Did I mention I like Blackbird??
Have you tried Isabel's on 46th and Cedar? It's right around the corner from Colossal Cafe. They have some pretty tasty soups, salads, and sandwiches. I also had some veggie spring rolls earlier this summer that were good. If it wasn't for the cranky guy who works there we'd go more often. They just opened a little cafe next door but I haven't tried it yet.
There's always the Chatterbox Pub too, if you're into that sort of thing.
Aribel's on 66th at 1120 East 66th St Richfield (just west of the new Super Target and Home Depot being built alongside 77 and 66th) is "far south" mpls, and has VERY good food. Right now, there are so few customers (seems only one table at a time from reports) that their girls were rode their bikes from the kitchen out through the restaurant's front door (very cute girls and very nice owners and very good food!) The food is Guyanese (in South America) and Carribean for the most part, and from what I've looked up on the internet, the "seeming fusion" with indian and asian is an innate part of the makeup of Guyanese food.
If you want to try it out, do NOT be turned off by an empty parking lot! Go in and try out the food - it's VERY good and the owners are very nice and it's okay to be the only party at a table in there (as was my experience).
re: tart1
I had the exact same experience eating lunch there yesterday. (without the little girls). I was the only one there. The food was great and the owners were very friendly.
A lot of Guyanese people have settled in New York City. Richmond Hill section of Queens is even called "Little Guyana" these days. But Richfield, MN???? Go know?
These folks are the decendants of East Indians who were brought their as indentured plantation workers. The owner's grandparents came to Guyana when they were children and don't know where they came from--just India. So the cuisine is heavily weighted toward Indian cuisine. I had the jerk chicken fried rice which I'm going back for soon. To call this "fusion cuisine" is a bit of a stretch. There are add-ons blendings like in the old Cuban-Chinese restaurants in NY.
Anyway, I'm glad they are here. But the lack of business is something to worry about. If they were up on Nicollet Ave. I don't think there would be a problem. I think they are in the old King Oscar's buffet.
Who would have thought that you could find this stuff outside of Richmond Hill and East New York?
This is a great thread! I don't get to far-south Mpls very often, but when I do, I'm always stumped for where to eat. I'm adding some Places links so I can use this thread as a reference...

I drove by today and it looks like Binh Minh has closed. Big "For Lease" signs all over the bldg.
Did anyone here mention the Chatterbox? I am mixed on the food but often times it comes through when there just isn't anywhere else to go. (And go to the Highland location if you don't want to leave stinking like a greasy spoon.) I am in total agreement that South desperately needs more middle-road with good ambience options!

It only seems right that this series between the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks go seven games, doesn't it?
This series has already given so much more meaning to the rivalry between the Kings and Ducks. Both teams went into each other's barns and won two games on the road. Both answered the call by winning their next home game, the Kings doing so in a game that could have sent them home for the summer.
Both fan bases and franchises have waited 20-years for these two teams to finally meet in the post season, so why not get as much of it as possible?
After winning the first two games on the road and going up 2-0 in the series, the Kings hit a bit of a speed bump losing the next three games, including two games at Staples Center dropping them to 3-2 in the series going into game six.
However, the Los Angeles Kings forced a decisive game seven by beating the Ducks by a score of 2-1 in game six at Staples Center two nights ago. The Kings got goals from Jake Muzzin and Trevor Lewis while Jonathan Quick turned away 21 shots for the win. The Ducks cut the Kings' lead from 2-0 to 2-1 late in the second period but never found the equalizer and now have to try and eliminate the Kings in Anaheim later tonight.
Tonight the Kings will try to keep their record spotless when facing elimination. The Kings have already faced elimination five times during the post season and have gone a perfect 5-0 in those games. In the five games where the Kings have been on the brink of elimination they have outscored their opponents by a score of 20-6.
The Kings have experience on their side and seem to thrive when their backs are up against the wall. This is no more apparent than in the play of Justin Williams. Williams has played in a total of five game sevens in his career and has recorded five goals and ten points in those five games.
But a big game game from only Williams will likely not be enough if the Los Angeles Kings want to live to play another game. Anze Kopitar, who leads the NHL with 17-points in the playoffs, and Marian Gaborik, who leads the league with eight goals in the playoffs, will need to be deciding factors on the ice for the Kings. Kopitar has four goals and eight points, while Gaborik has two goals and five points in the five elimination games the Kings have faced in these playoffs.
Puck drop is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time. Hopefully I am writing a series preview for a match up against the Chicago Blackhawks in a day, and not a season review.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Closing live poultry markets quickly and substantially reduced bird-to-human transmission of the deadly H7N9 bird flu virus in China, according to a new study.
Soon after the initial outbreak of H7N9 in the spring of 2013, 780 live poultry markets in four major Chinese cities -- Shanghai, Hangzhou, Huzhou and Nanjing -- were closed. The pet bird trade also was halted.
The closures reduced the average daily number of infections by 99 percent in Shanghai and Hangzhou, and by 97 percent in Huzhou and Nanjing, according to the study, which was published Oct. 30 in the journal The Lancet.
In addition, the rapid drop in bird flu infections after the live poultry markets closed enabled the researchers to estimate that the average incubation time of the virus was about three days.
These results showed that the best way to minimize the spread of the virus would be the long-term closure of live poultry markets in areas where there is high risk of disease spread, along with immediate closure of these markets in areas where the virus appears in the future, the researchers said.
"Our findings confirm that closure [of live poultry markets] is a highly effective intervention to prevent human disease and protect public health," study lead author Dr. Benjamin Cowling, of the University of Hong Kong, said in a journal news release.
"Without this robust evidence, policymakers would struggle to justify further closures of [live poultry markets] because of the millennia-old culture of trading live birds and the potentially huge economic loss on the poultry industry in China," Cowling said.
Some estimates put the economic loss of closing live poultry markets at more than $8 billion, according to the study.
Although closing live poultry markets in some circumstances can reduce human exposure to the H7N9 virus, this measure alone is unlikely to eliminate the threat of bird-to-human transmission, Guillaume Fournie and Dirk Pfeiffer, of the Royal Veterinary College in London, wrote in an accompanying journal editorial.
"The focus should move beyond detection of human cases and emergency response toward prevention at the infection source," they wrote.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more about H7N9 bird flu.

The Justice Center provides statewide justice-related education, research, and service.
|A new 3+3 program partnership between UAA and the Williamette University College of Law allows UAA students to earn a bachelor's and law degree in six years, rather than the usual minimum of seven years. Under this agreement, UAA students from any major who have completed their required disciplinary credits, all of their GER credits, and a total of 90 credits overall, may apply for admission to Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Oregon.

AJSAC Fact Sheet
Alaska Justice Forum 31(1–2)
The most recent issue of the AJSAC Fact Sheet presents data for 2000–2011 on arrests for drug offenses made by Alaska police agencies. The report presents drug offense arrest information for both adults and juveniles for the 12-year period, including number of drug offense arrests, drug offense arrests as a percentage of all arrests, drug offense arrest rate, and drug offense types. Data is drawn from the annual Crime in Alaska report of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, which represents the State of Alaska's contribution to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) program. The fact sheet is by Khristy Parker of the Alaska Justice Statistical Analysis Center (AJSAC).
The Spring/Summer 2014 issue of the Alaska Justice Forum includes articles on marijuana laws and policies, homelessness statistics for Alaska and the U.S., the newly-created Alaska Criminal Justice Commission, and the Alaska Court System's Early Resolution Program (ERP) for family law cases.
The Justice Center is offering five programs in Legal Studies:

The Ottawa Senators are taking calls in hope of moving Jason Spezza, or at the very least that is what is being reported by The Ottawa Sun.
If the Senators want to make a move they need to move very quickly. It has also been reported that if moved Spezza will most likely end up out West. Yes the West gets richer. I could see the Nashville Predators taking a run at Spezza. He would be an outstanding addition to their young roster. Another team that could come calling is the Anahiem Ducks, after falling short this season I'd expect them to get involved in some way.
Spezza has one year remaining on his current contract at a $7 million cap hit. If a team's is going to give up what it will take to get Spezza I would expect them to try to resign him very quickly. If no deal can be reached between now and the Draft Spezza will most likely stay a Senator until this trade deadline, and in some ways that could be the best thing for the Senators.
* Here's a crazy idea; Maybe the Canucks and Senators should work out a deal.
