The New York Post endorsed Sen. John McCain for president on Monday.
In its editorial, the newspaper said "McCain's lifelong record of service to America, his battle-tested courage, unshakeable devotion to principle and clear grasp of the dangers and opportunities now facing the nation stand in dramatic contrast to the tissue-paper-thin résumé of his Democratic opponent, freshman Sen. Barack Obama."
The Post also said that, although McCain has been part of Washington politics for years, "he is not of Washington. He knows where the levers of power are located -- and how to manipulate them -- but he is not controlled by them."
The Post also said:
The paper summed up its endorsement by stating: "Sound security, economic and energy policies -- plus allegiance to principle -- are critical to keeping America safe and strong.
"On all counts, John McCain and Sarah Palin understand this -- and that's why we're in their corner to the finish."

Former Greenpeace insiders explain how group prepares for protests like P&G banner stunt
Who are the Greenpeace Nine?
CINCINNATI -- The Greenpeace protesters who staged an elaborate public demonstration at the global headquarters of Procter & Gamble Co. Tuesday likely trained extensively for the carefully-orchestrated plot, according to former Greenpeace activists.
"They work sort of like a SWAT team," said Pat Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder who cut ties with environmental group in 1986 after 15 years.
Activists hung a zip line between the company's twin towers and unfurled two 60-foot banners from the buildings to protest what they claimed was P&G's link to tropical deforestation with its use of palm oil in Head & Shoulders products. One of the activists was dressed in a tiger costume while hanging from the zip line.
The protest, although new to Cincinnati, was not a new Greenpeace tactic. The banner drop is a common attention-getting approach used by the worldwide environmental group, which often campaigns against issues like global warming, deforestation, commercial whaling and nuclear matters.
"The climbing thing has been going on for a long time—so have the animal costumes and so has the helicopter, the film crew. It's a pretty stock demonstration and it didn't require getting many people in the room," said Moore, who recalled climbing buildings and smokestacks decades ago, too.
"They've got it down to an art….It's worked for years."

RELATED (INSIDER): How is a building both functional, and secure?
After hours of questioning Tuesday night at police headquarters, the nine activists provided little information on how they managed to enter the building of the Fortune 500 company, but a P&G spokesperson said Wednesday that the protesters had help.
"Security cameras indicate that one protester gained illegal access to office space that P&G leases to a third party. The protester then improperly let the others in via a secured entrance," said Lisa Popyk, who would not reveal where the activists entered the building.
Greenpeace, founded in 1971 and now an international organization with headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has historically depended on insiders to successfully carry out its protests, said Moore. He said he and fellow activists depended on close connections while chasing the Russian Whalers around the North Pacific.
"We were given U.S. intelligence information from Washington D.C. through a late congressman from California who sympathized with us….He was sending us the position of the Russian factory Whalers on a daily basis…That's how we were able to find them and confront them and film them killing the whales."
Moore said the group would often assign a person to scout the location of a protest—gathering intimate details about building floor plans, employee schedules and other key clues of how to gain access inside.
"They have to have quite a bit of good intelligence on the nature of the building that they're entering and what people are doing in there, what their hours are and all that so they can get the timing right," he said. "They have to hire a helicopter and all that."
Greenpeace hired a helicopter to film and photograph the P&G incident Tuesday, but it did not directly assist the activists, the owner of the helicopter company told WCPO.
The helicopter took off from Lunken Airport and the owner of the company the chopper belongs to said he was "duped" by Greenpeace.

Cincinnati Police Capt. Paul Broxterman said the activists made their way to the 12th floor, where they likely changed clothes and used pliers to break the locks of the windows of that floor, which is mostly vacant in the north building.
"They put pole jacks, or braces, against the windows from outside so you could not push the windows from the inside," Broxterman said.
He said the protesters were tied to metal stanchions, often used by window-washers.
"They knew that these stanchions were up there, they knew about the balconies and everything else," Broxterman said.
The equipment police seized filled the bed of a full-size police pickup truck, he said.
"They had everything from radios to helmets with cameras to rappelling gear with a harness, to – of course – the tiger suit," said Broxterman.
Ground Crew Likely
Long before the nine protesters pulled off their elaborate P&G stunt, the group likely spent months planning for the best way to spread their message and delegated key tasks to people on the ground.
"They have very tight planning with timelines and everybody has their role to play," said Moore.
A Greenpeace spokesperson declined to comment on how the group prepared for the P&G protest and how long they planned for the event. Molly Borozenski, a spokesperson for the environmental group, said Greenpeace is legally protecting the nine activists, who now face felony charges of burglary and vandalism in connection with the demonstration.
Greenpeace USA is a nonprofit 501 (c)(4) based in Washington, D.C. Its 2012 990 tax form listed the organization's total revenue at $32,791,149, most of which came from its 348,782 members in the U.S.
The tax form describes Greenpeace USA as "an independent campaigning organization that uses peaceful, creative confrontation to explore global environmental problems, and to force solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future."
The organization does not take contributions from governments and corporations and does not endorse political candidates, according to the 2012 Form 990, the most recent year available.
READ MORE (INSIDER): From Greenpeace to PETA: Why P&G is targeted by activists
Insight from a former employee who worked for the company in the early 1990's and still does work for the group as a contracted consultant today indicates that more people were likely involved in the protest than just those arrested on Tuesday.
"There's all kinds of support roles," said Nadine Bloch. "Purchasing the right gear to make it happen. People need to make banners—graphic designers. They need to sew it. Somebody needs to rig it so that it'll be safe. People have to practice deploying it. There's people on the ground doing media work, doing legal work. There's people on the ground who are focused on what the issue area is."
Bloch, who could only reference similar Greenpeace protests that she had assisted with in the past, said the environmental group has people on standby to handle the consequences of the public demonstrations.
"There are people who are going to get you out of jail and there's people who are going to follow you to the police station," she said.
According to its tax filing, Greenpeace USA had a total of 2,871 employees in 2012 and 3,608 volunteers. It spent more than $19 million on salaries, compensation and employee benefits that year and listed its total fundraising expenses as nearly $4.5 million. The tax form listed total travel expenses of $937,293 and net assets of nearly $1.2 million.
And for a protest like the one at P&G headquarters to actually work, Greenpeace activists must be highly skilled climbers, too.
"When I worked at Greenpeace, there would be specific actions that we would coordinate and there would be specific times that we might risk arrest but normally the person who was hanging that banner in the tiger suit may or may not even be a Greenpeace employee," she said.
Bloch said she has climbed several structures, like the Sears Tower in Chicago, to hang banners for Greenpeace's Nuclear protests. She also made banners behind the scenes.
She said Greenpeace often recruits activists who are already climbers, some who are specialized in climbing a specific type of structure. But some of the group's employees and volunteers must learn how to climb for the first time.
"Some people learn it on the job, so to speak," said Bloch. "I did learn how to climb working with Greenpeace."
Who Are The Greenpeace Nine?
After getting released from the Justice Center downtown Wednesday, just after 5 p.m., Greenpeace activist Tyler Sanville, said, "We were here because we want to get our message out; that Procter & Gamble is buying palm oil linked to rainforest destruction, which is destroying the habitat of endangered species like orangutans and Sumatran tigers."

It's not the first time that many in the group have been involved in protests, especially about environmental issues. And Tuesday, they knew what they were doing—not only because of their past experiences but, also their extensive training with Greenpeace, according to records and their social media accounts.
At Greenpeace's Action Camp, the group dubbed as the Greenpeace Nine, were likely trained like many other activists with Greenpeace.
On Greenpeace's blog, they boast that the Coastal Canyons Action Camp, held in 2013, was the second annual direct-action training camp.
There activists learned to:
-Drive boats
-Honed their climbing skills
-Practiced creating blockades [putting] their bodies on the line to "prevent environmental injustice when necessary"
"The skills that the activists learned at camp will be crucial tools," as stated on the Greenpeace blog. "They'll help a new generation of activists with Greenpeace and other groups confront environmental injustice at sea, on land and in the air."
Cincinnati lawyer William Gallagher, who is representing the group of protesters, said none of his clients have criminal records, adding they are each law-abiding citizens with legitimate jobs—using 26-year-old activist Tyler Wilkerson, who is a former U.S. Marine, from San Diego, Calif., as an example.However, a review of public records indicates that several of the Greenpeace Nine had at least one other protest-related arrest.
Marcella Largess, 28, of Baltimore, Md., was dressed as a tiger at Tuesday's P&G protest downtown. Her experience with protesting varies over the past decade.Largess, who also goes by 'Koala', was 19 years old when she was arrested during a 2004 protest in Washington, D.C. According to The Washington Post, she allegedly assisted two women in climbing onto the ledge of the John A. Wilson Building—in protest of a homeless shelter closing.
Largess was also part of a 2011 Occupy Baltimore protest, which discouraged victims from reporting assaults. A then 26-year-old told the Baltimore Sun that she only wanted to let victims know that there are alternative ways of dealing with an attacker, though she said she had once been involved in an abusive relationship and needed the police's help.
Largess said she wanted "the person who harmed me to work on issues and get the help needed to be a functioning member of society."
More recently, the punk-rock band singer and vegan was also involved in a 2012 Occupy Baltimore protest outside a juvenile detention center. Six were arrested and charged with trespassing, according to the Baltimore Brew.
Nima Shahidi, 29, of Fallston, Md., also a vegan, writes a blog, "No Ham Sandwich", where he posts photos of demonstrations in which he claims to have been involved.
And, he too, according to media reports, was at the Occupy Baltimore protest outside the juvenile detention center, where Largess was in 2012, along with 75 others protesting against a proposed $100 million youth jail.
That same year, Shahidi was arrested in Maryland for trespassing.
Vegan Tyler Sanville, 28, of Washington D.C., writes for a Greenpeace blog, The EnvironmentaLIST, where she sounds off, in a commentary-type space, on environmental topics like GMO labeling.
Mike Herbert, 30, of Chicago, Ill., was arrested in 2011 during an Occupy Chicago protest.
In a SocialistWorker.org article, Herbert wrote, "The city of Chicago made more than 300 arrests at Occupy Chicago public assemblies held in Grant Park for violation of city-imposed park curfew ordinances. Since the arrests, the mayor has stepped up his efforts to circumvent the U.S. Constitution through municipal ordinances, beefing up an already unconstitutional parade law to better facilitate the shutting down of any and all political dissent in the city of Chicago. The stripping of civil liberties to serve the political interests of those in power is disconcerting."
"As you watch this on television, remember this: We are not hoodlums or criminals. We are members of your community who will no longer wait for the system to solve the problems it was designed to perpetuate. We are your teachers, your family, your neighbors and coworkers. Stand with us."
Denise Rodriguez, 20, of Corona, N.Y., was an intern for the National Activist Intern Network for Greenpeace in San Francisco from February to June 2013. Up until this year, according to what appears to be her Facebook page, she worked at Working Families Party, dubbed as New York's Progressive Third Party, touting: "Holding the politicians accountable to working families since 1998."
Hailing from Queens originally, Rodriguez, who speaks English and Spanish, attended The Door in New York City. The Door's mission is to "empower young people to reach their potential by providing comprehensive youth development services in a diverse and caring environment."
Specializing in environmental issues, Sean O'Brien, 22, of Oakland, Calif., appears linked to The Holdout, which organizes events in a space called a "radical social center that supports community in struggle." He may also have ties to the direct-action groups Unconventional Action (UA in the Bay) and Direct Action Against War.
Jesse Coleman, 28, is a Washington, D.C.-based researcher for Greenpeace. The Greenpeace blogger has been instrumental in oil pipeline, coal and chemical spill protests. He works heavily in environmental issues, including his research, which involved collecting samples of oil washed up by Hurricane Isaac on West Ship Island, Miss.

Coleman also demonstrated at a National Oil Spill Commission hearing in Washington D.C. in 2010. In protest, he held a sign that said: "SAFE OFFSHORE DRILLING IS A PIPE DREAM", in the background, while NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco addressed the commission.
Greenpeace activist Charles Long, 34, of Chicago, Ill., was also involved in the P&G demonstration.
Out on a $450,000 cash bond, the nine who were not remanded to Ohio, said after their release that they were headed to eat.

Locking up Dustin Pedroia is more about sentiment than sense
Jul 20, 2013, 4:35 PM EST
There's something to be said for rewarding a star player who has been underpaid most of his career. Dustin Pedroia is one of the two faces of the Red Sox, he's a legitimate All-Star candidate every year and it's possible he'll go into the Hall of Fame someday. If he were a free agent this…

Caesars (ticker: CZR), which has been gearing up for legalization, has one of the leading brands in its World Series of Poker. Yet the shares look overpriced because the debt-laden company has little going for it besides a future in online poker. Its current market value of about $2 billion assumes legalization of online poker at state and federal levels and significant profits from what is likely to be a very competitive business.
Caesars sold only 1% of its outstanding stock in its IPO: 1.8 million shares at $9.00. The stock jumped 71%, to $15.39, in its first day of trading and closed the week at $14.24. The shares are likely to remain volatile until there is greater float.

After being taken private in a top-of-the-market leveraged buyout in 2008, Caesars carries enormous debt of $22.5 billion and has been burning cash after hefty interest expense of almost $2 billion annually. Some of the company's debt trades for 80 cents on the dollar and yields 15%. The company has skimped on capital expenditures, spending just $165 million in the first nine months of 2011 and only $160 million in 2010. Wynn spent around $100 million in 2010 to renovate just one of its Vegas hotels.
There appears to be little or no equity value in Caesars' core business given the ugly financials. Yet the IPO prospectus shows Caesars carved out its online business, including the World Series of Poker, into a separate unit unencumbered by debt. This means Caesars equity holders should get all the online profits; hence the investor focus.
In a January research note, Nomura Securities gaming analyst Harry Curtis wrote that he believes that "by year-end 2012, Internet poker will be live in at least a handful of sizable states, perhaps including California, New Jersey, New York, Illinois and Nevada." State action could pressure Congress to approve online poker nationwide, simplifying regulation and creating a new stream of federal tax revenue. Curtis estimates that national online poker ultimately could generate $6 billion in annual revenues with 30% to 35% profit margins.
"The next big wealth creation will be online," said Gary Loveman, Caesars' CEO, on a presentation posted on the RetailRoadshow.com Website. He cited "a number of encouraging things" that have occurred in the past few months that have raised the odds of legalized online poker. (In 2006, Congress cracked down on online poker played via offshore sites.) The recent, important Justice Department ruling was that the 1961 Wire Act, which has been used to hamper online gambling initiatives, applied to sports betting but not online poker.
Caesars tried to go public in late 2010 at a much higher valuation but pulled the deal amid weak investor demand. Before that happened, Barron's warned that the IPO looked unappealing. Back then, Caesars sought an equity market value of $5.5 billion.
The Bottom Line
Shares of Caesars jumped 71% after last week's IPO. But given the company's huge debt load, the core casino business may have little or no equity value. Don't bet on more big gains.
As Barrons.com reported Monday, this was a very unusual IPO. That's because the shares originated with a group that invested in Caesars' $29 billion leveraged buyout in 2008 alongside the dominant investors, private-equity giants Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital.
These investors, including a trust controlled by actor Michael J. Fox and the California State Teachers' Retirement System, gave a small portion of their shares to Caesars in return for the company doing the IPO and allowing them to sell their total stake of 22 million shares.
The IPO was cleverly handled because Caesars created scarcity value by selling such a small amount of stock. It will take a big move in the stock, however, for the LBO sponsors to come out whole. We estimate that their cost is $40 a share or more.
Caesars, which has only $125 million of debt maturities until the end of 2014, is seeking to renegotiate a portion of its bank loans, to extend the maturity to 2018 from 2015, to buy time for a recovery. The problem is that its debt load is so high and interest burden so significant that the company ultimately may need a financial restructuring.
Caesars' equity is valued at 12 times projected 2012 pretax cash flow, for a company that may continue to burn cash. In comparison, regional gambling companies like Ameristar and Pinnacle trade for about seven times estimated 2012 pretax cash flow. Ameristar, at $20, looks appealing trading for about nine times projected 2012 profits and for about seven times free cash flow.
Also likely to be in on the action is the British parent of the online card room Party Poker, Bwin Party Digital Entertainment bpty.ln 3.883495145631068% Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment PLC U.K.: London GBP107 4 3.883495145631068% /Date(1416954918000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4839379 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 845766451.507211 Dividend Yield 3.532710280373832% Rev. per Employee 185647 More quote details and news » (BPTY.U.K.).

Its market value, at $2 billion, is comparable to that of Caesars. It's profitable, and trades for 13 times estimated 2012 profits. In the end, its shareholders, not Caesars', might be able to say veni vidi vici.

Caesars' heavy debt load is burying profits. Ameristar, Pinnacle and Penn National Gaming are better gambling plays.

News Details
The alarm bells are beginning to ring - Lauda
Mercedes must continue to develop the W05 if they want to be sure of winning races until the end of the season according to Niki Lauda, who believes the pace Williams showed in Austria should be cause for concern. The three-time champion and non-executive chairman of the Mercedes team insists, despite a 158-point lead to second placed Red Bull, they won't simply give up thinking they've done enough to focus on next year. "The alarm bells are ringing that the competition is coming closer," said Lauda. "If the alarm bell rings in time then you can do something. If you sit back – which we don't try to do – you miss out. So what we are going to do is keep on...

Great British Chefs search allows you to search for ingredients, recipes,
chefs and restaurants. Here are some examples:
Braised chicory and ham au gratin is a Belgian classic and a personal favourite of Miss Foodwise. She shares her recipe that's ideal for cold evenings. So settle down, make yourself comfortable on the sofa and enjoy this warming dish.
Legend goes that blanched chicory was accidentally discovered in a town near Brussels in the 1830s during the war with Holland. A farmer tried to hide his Root chicory by covering it by sand, after a few weeks he discovered that from the roots a small head of cream-coloured leaves had grown. He started selling the leaves and called them 'Witloof' which means 'white leafage'.
What you need (serves 4)
• 4 chicory heads
• butter to grease the pan
• 1 pinch of sugar
• baking paper, cut in a round shape, slightly larger than the pan you are using
• 4 slices of good quality cooked ham
• 1 cup of grated mature cheddar (or emmental) and a bit more to sprinkle on top.
• mashed potatoes
• 4 oven dishes or 1 big one
• Optional: bread crumbs
For the roux and cheese sauce
• 140g flour
• 125 g butter
• 300 ml full fat milk
• pepper, salt and nutmeg to season
• Clean the chicory heads by removing withered leaves, carve a cross in the stalks so they cook faster.
• Butter a deep pan, bottom and sides and put over a medium fire.
• Add the chicory and braise adding a pinch of sugar and turning frequently the first 10 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of water.
• Stuff the baking paper in the pan so it touches the chicory and it completely covers the pan.
• Leave for 30 minutes when the chicory heads are big, 15 minutes when you have small ones.
Preheat your oven to 200° celsius
For the roux
If you are making a roux which is the base of a white sauce you need to know one thing: flour and butter is 1 to 1 ratio. I always make a large quantity and store in an airtight container in the fridge for when I need it. If you want to do this you just make the dry base which is the flour and butter together, let it cool before you put it into a container.
When you want to use it you need to warm the milk, when you are using the roux straight away you need your milk to be cold.
So the rule is: warm dry paste = cold milk - cold paste = warm milk.
When you've added the milk to the dry paste, you need to cook it until the taste of flour is completely gone.
• Melt the butter in a small pan
• Add flour and stir constantly until you get a crumbly paste that smells a bit like pancakes. Use your nose, if you think it smells like flour you're not done yet and keep stirring.
• When your roux is done, save some in a container for next time and start adding milk to the roux left in your pan.
• Keep stirring until you get a silky sauce.
• Add the cheese and stir.
• If the sauce is too thick add some extra milk
• season the sauce now with pepper and nutmeg, as the cheese will already give the sauce a salty touch you will need to add less salt.
Now get your oven dishes ready
• Divide your mashed potatoes over the dishes, or one dish as you prefer.
• Dry the chicory heads with some kitchen paper.
• Wrap the chicory with the ham
• Arrange the wrapped chicory heads over the mash
• Cover with the cheese sauce
• Sprinkle some cheese over the dish
• Add some bread crumbs if you like
• Add to a preheated oven, under the grill for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and developed a delicious crust.
Food and wine/beer pairing:
Serve with a Belgian blonde Triple or a good British hoppy beer.
If you prefer wine, go for a dry white Soave or a splendid dry English wine.

M&S leaves Amazon behind as new website goes live
LONDON (Reuters) - Marks & Spencer(MKS.L), Britain's biggest clothing retailer, has launched a new website platform, a key plank of its strategy to reverse nearly a decade of market share decline in its most profitable business.
The 130-year old group, which has reported 10 straight quarters of declining underlying sales in its general merchandise division including clothing, said on Tuesday its new site had gone live after over three years of development.
It replaced a previous platform provided by Amazon(AMZN.O) since 2007.
"We want to own our car, not rent it," Laura Wade-Gery, the former Tesco(TSCO.L) executive recruited by Chief Executive Marc Bolland to develop M&S's online capability, told reporters.
Bolland has high hopes for the new site, seeing it as crucial to his initial 2.3 billion pounds three-year drive to transform M&S into an international, "multi-channel" retailer, connecting with customers through stores, the Internet and mobile devices.
The new site will complement M&S huge e-commerce distribution centre at Castle Donington in central England that opened in May 2013 and is building capacity for the peak trading season at Christmas 2014.
Wade-Gery said the new site provides customers with a better browsing experience and an improved buying process.
New features include product images that are up to 50 percent bigger than on M&S's previous site, available as either cut outs or on a model shots, as well as zoom features, catwalk and 360 degree video.
"If you are shopping online, you are essentially buying a photo," said Wade-Gery.
The new site also includes an editorial hub, with M&S aiming to capitalise on research showing that shoppers who engage with editorial content were 24 percent more likely to buy.
The first phase of the new website launch will focus on M&S's existing 6 million online customers. Improved delivery options will follow.
Wade-Gery said the future prize for M&S will be to engage the 14.5 million shoppers who currently visit the firm's stores but only shop online with competitors.
M&S shares, up 28 percent over the last year, were up 0.4 percent at 496 pence at 1612 GMT.

Low-stakes testing involves the frequent use of evaluation instruments that have little impact on a student's course grade. Two examples of low-stakes testing include:
- the use of clickers in class, and
- mastery-learning quizzing systems in which students are able to repeatedly take quizzes on specific topics until they master the material.
An overwhelming body of evidence from studies in cognitive science, psychology, economics, physics, chemistry, math, and many other disciplines indicates that students learn most effectively when frequent opportunities to recall and attempt to apply the knowledge they have acquired. Roediger (2013) provides a summary of the cognitive psychological research on this issue. He notes that student learning is enhanced by frequent practice, and this is most effective when the practice is distrubuted across time and across tasks.
In his study of effective college teachers, Ken Bain (2004) states:
Because the best teachers believe that most students can learn, they look for ways to help them to do so. They ask how they can encourage students to think aloud and create a nonthreatening atmosphere in which they can do so. They seek ways to give students the opportunity to struggle with their thoughts without facing assessments of their efforts, to try, to come up short, receive feedback on their efforts, and try again before facing any "grading."
The key element of low-stakes testing is that students be given the opportunity to try, make mistakes, and to learn from those mistakes with little or no penalty. While this notion seems foreign to many college instructors, consider how we train athletes. They do not spend much time sitting in classrooms, listening to lectures about how to play their sport. Instead, they practice specific skills, make mistakes, and are given suggestions on how to improve their skills. (For an amusing take on this issue see this video.)
