- Preparation Time:
- 1 pound dry lentils
- 2 carrots
- 1 large onion (or 2 small ones)
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 large tomato
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon vegetable base (or 3 vegetable bouillon cubes)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 5 oz. fresh spinach leaves
- 5 cups water
- salt, pepper, garlic salt
- Wash the lentils under water and let drain.
- Chop up the onion, garlic, celery and carrots.
- Heat the olive oil in the pot. Once it's warm, add the onions and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Lower heat, cover and cook until the onions and garlic just start to get a bit mushy.
- Add the carrots and celery. Mix and cover again till the carrots and celery start to get a little mushy.
- Add the lentils, mix, cover and cook for several minutes. Just be careful the heat isn't too hot, because you want the lentils to get the flavor of the veggies, but you don't want to burn them.
- Add the 5 cups water and the Better Than Bouillon. Cover and bring to a boil.
- In the mean time, slice the tomatoes into chunky slices.
- Once the soup is boiling for about 10 minutes, add the tomato sauce, tomatoes and spinach. (If your sauce isn't sweet you can also add a tablespoon or two of sugar at this point)
- Mix, cover and simmer for a half hour or until the lentils are soft.
- Serve!
NotesOne of my favorite things to do is make lentil soup, although I don't know if soup is exactly the correct word here. See, I prefer it will more veggies and lentil and less water. Sometimes I'll make macaroni and add it to individual portions. This recipe also freezes extremely well, which makes for many, many low-cost lunches and quick dinners. And, it's not only vegetarian, but also vegan!

Despite being at the top of the techno tree for a decade now, Umek (Uros Umek to his nearest and dearest) firmly believes 2010 to have been his best year to date.
He was named Beatport's best techno artist, his second artist album, 'Responding to Dynamics', was critically acclaimed, his recent release 'OMGWTF' topped the Beatport download chart - the first time a release of his has achieved this honour - and, And, AND, he finally fell in love with Ibiza.
"I did a lot of great music and remixes that have been accepted among my colleagues and music professionals, as well as the audience," he affirms. "And this year's experience in Space with Carl really changed my perspective on the White Isle."
He also believes his darling techno to be in particularly rude health.
"The scene has become more versatile in sounds and sub-genres than it used to be in the last couple of years and I believe we'll see the progress of this trend in the next year."
More of the same for Umek, then.

A California woman is suing Jillian Michaels, claiming the celebrity trainer is endorsing a diet supplement that contains false advertising.
Christie Christensen on Tuesday sued Michaels, one of the stars of NBC's "Biggest Loser." She claims she bought a product emblazoned with Michaels' picture and endorsement called "Calorie Control" last month and it has failed to lessen her appetite and she hasn't lost any weight.
Christensen is seeking class-action status for her claims, which include untrue and misleading advertising. She is also suing Calorie Control's maker, Utah-based Basic Research.
On Thursday, in an exclusive statement to Access Hollywood, Michaels responded to the lawsuit.
"My reputation and credibility are of the utmost importance to me. This baseless lawsuit is entirely without merit and is being handled by my legal team. I stand behind all my products and remain committed to helping people achieve their health and wellness goals," Michaels' statement said.

Epic voyage of the veterans
It is a story of adventure in the face of adversity: twelve ex-servicemen, each missing a limb, braved high seas and dodgy prosthetics to cross the Atlantic. Terri Judd introduces the inspiring diary of their journey
Tuesday 16 December 2008
With every man on board missing a limb, their journey was an epic of courage and endurance: a dozen seriously injured British servicemen have become the first all-amputee crew to complete the Atlantic Race Challenge. Accompanied by a maimed American ex-para, the members of the British Limbless Ex-Service Men's Association (Blesma) completed the 2,700 nautical miles from Sao Vincente in the Cape Verde Islands, to Bridgetown, Barbados, on the 65ft Spirit of Juno, finishing third.
Among them was Captain Bernie Bambury, 33, who survived Iraq only to lose his right leg competing on the Cresta Run in St Moritz. Capt Bambury, who still serves with the 4th Battalion, The Rifles, says that alongside such seriously injured colleagues, his below-the-knee amputation was considered merely a "flesh wound". Here are extracts from his diary.
2 November 2008, 00.10
So we've formed up. Our youngest member is Lance Corporal Chris "Herbie" Herbert, 21. Shot in the leg in Iraq, he recovered and was deployed to Afghanistan as a sniper, where he was blown up and lost his other leg! A surprisingly mature character. As for the others: Wayne "H" Harrod has a fearsome Viking tattooed across his back in honour of his Royal Anglian Battalion's title "The Vikings". Jonno Lee is sadly still struggling to get on with his prosthetic leg.
5 November 2008, 08.25
After a 22-hour journey, we finally arrived in Sao Vincente, Cape Verde, and set eyes on Spirit of Juno. A few of the more adventurous souls visited the bar at the end of the quay. The locals did not know what to make of a group of amputees suddenly descending on their town. No doubt the sight was a shock, but as ever, people get over it quickly.
The preparatory workload was quickly divided according to ability, with the below-knee amputees working above deck where greater mobility is required, and the more seriously injured looked after the galley and cabin.
8 November 2008, 08.12
One final beer in Club Nautica and we retired to our bunks. I could hardly sleep. We set sail in a couple of hours.
11 November 2008, Armistice Day
Day four of the race; seasickness has kept me from my diary so there's some catching up to do. The two watches work a daily routine: two six-hour watches during the day; and three four-hour watches at night. By the end of the first night we had nothing on the horizon and could no longer see the opposition ahead. Already the sense of being isolated can become overwhelming.
Our second day was Remembrance Sunday. We gathered on deck and Peter, our oldest member at 67, led us in a brief but moving service. We observed the two minutes' silence marked on his bosun's whistle by "Pipe Down" and "Carry On". Dry eyes were not universal. My thoughts were with the families of those outstanding men from my battlegroup who were lost last year in Iraq. The skipper cast one of our wreaths overboard and our position was logged. The other wreath was saved for Armistice Day.
12 November 2008, 14.00
We have set the clocks back an hour and are approaching halfway. During our first watch of the night we were privileged to witness the most incredible meteor – a large yellow highlighter that traversed the whole night panorama. As I write this, Herbie is at the helm for the first time and loving it. Big Chris is about to give it a go, which should be interesting since without a leg to wear, he will have to sit.
13 November 2008, 11.30
The spinnaker is no more! Last night, during a beautifully moonlit moment with Rob at the helm, the spinnaker [sail] split. We are sailing further south in an effort to get more wind for the limited rig we have remaining.
Without the shield of the main sail the sun is suddenly uncomfortably hot.
14 November 2008, 15.45
Having reverted to a direct course towards Barbados, we encounter much bigger waves. Cooking on a slippery floor when the world is shifting substantially brings its own challenges. Today is the nine-month anniversary of my amputation.
16 November 2008, 13.15
I was struck by the size of the swell in the mid-Atlantic. The waves must be between two and three storeys high. In this expanse of water one quickly feels insignificantly small.
As I write, the first mate's watch have just disappeared for their afternoon rest. As H stepped off from the cockpit his entire leg fell off! Tim, our bipedal cameraman, had to ask if he was allowed to laugh!
17 November 2008, 14.52
Only 140 miles to Barbados. The last 24 hours have been manic. A pod of dolphins visited us at 17.30 yesterday. For 30 minutes, they played in our bow wave and wake. Once the dolphins left, my watch went to bed. Sleep was not an option as we were thrown about in our bunks for the whole four hours and kept awake by the heavy rain. When finally we were roused, we emerged to find both the foresail and staysail packed away.
An astonishingly heavy downpour flattened the seas. It came at the cost of a massive reduction in visibility. This should not have posed a problem; after all, in the 1,700 miles we had covered so far, we had seen only two ships.
I was quite surprised when, as the downpour lifted and visibility increased, I spotted a freighter bearing down on us at a range of about 500m. We turned to port. For a moment, it looked as though we had been seen. The ship was changing course. We breathed a collective sigh of relief, only to be stunned to see her turn and bear down on us once more.

18 November 2008
Barbados hove into view at 02.30. At 06.00, we woke the rest of the crew for our last, short, leg. It seemed appropriate that our most disabled crew member, Steve Gill, should be at the helm as we crossed the finish line at 07.00. The journey had taken us nine days and 19 hours. This would be an impressive time for able-bodied sailors. We have shown, I believe, that disability, certainly in terms of limb loss, is not a barrier to achievement. Any barriers that may exist, exist only in people's minds.

In what I can only assume is a special issue of Organizational Research Methods, several researchers discuss statistical and methodological myths and urban legends commonly seen in the organizational sciences (which is a term I've adopted for organizational behavior, human resources, and industrial/organizational psychology). Four articles in this issue stuck out to me, which are the ones I'll be discussing over the next few weeks. First up: Edwards[1] writes "The Fallacy of Formative Measurement."
Before getting into this, I will give a small disclaimer: I am not a research methods specialist, nor am I a quantitative psychologist. I am industrial/organizational psychologist with an interest in research methods as a means to study phenomena I find interesting. As a result, I am approaching from the perspective of an end-user of methods rather than a person who studies them explicitly. So any misrepresentation here is probably my fault! That said…
According to Edwards, there are two models of the relationships between constructs (theoretical concepts we want to measure, like job satisfaction, happiness, learning, etc.) and measures (the actual data we end up analyzing). The distinction between these is important when creating models to analyze data, especially in the context of structural equation modeling or other explicit data modeling techniques.
The first and more traditional view is called reflective measurement. From this perspective, constructs cause measures, i.e. the construct is the "real" underlying characteristic, and a measure is simply a reflection of that characteristic.
The second and more recent view is called formative measurement. From this perspective, measures cause constructs, such that the only real constructs are latent constructs, i.e. ones that can be detected by looking for patterns in data and then carefully refining measurement.
The major conflict between these two perspectives is the role of theory. From a reflective perspective, we should develop theories of the relationships between constructs and use those theories to shape how data will be collected. From a formative perspective, we should look for patterns in data and let the data provide the basis for our theories, progressively shaping our theories as the data lead us to do so.
To add to the confusion, the two perspectives typically provide similar results. One researcher coming from the perspective of reflective measurement (developing theory, testing it) may end up at the same conclusions as another researcher coming from the reflective perspective (measuring a host of constructs, looking for patterns). But that doesn't necessarily mean that the approaches are equally preferable.
Edwards discusses six key ways that formative measurement differs from reflective measurement:
- Dimensionality: Reflective measurement accepts that redundancy between measures is inevitable because all measurement is an imperfect representation of a construct. The goal, however, is to get as "pure" a measure of the construct as possible, so redundancy should be minimized. This is reflected in the typical measure development process – iteratively removing items that load on multiple factors in order to tap the construct as effectively as possible. In a formative measurement model, measures (and items) that are multidimensional by definition reflect multidimensional constructs. Consider this double-barreled Likert-type agreement item: "Sometimes I like pancakes and sometimes I like broccoli." This question is multidimensional, but is it more likely that this is a bad question and should be refined (reflective) or that there is an underlying multidimensional construct (formative)?
- Internal Consistency: In a reflective model, two measures/items designed to tap the same construct should correlate highly. Formative measures have no such expectation; in fact, internal consistency might be a sign of a poor model as there is not definitive that the facets of a construct should be correlated. Edwards argues that this difference has led some researchers to conclude, finding that their reflective measures are multidimensional, that those measures are in fact formative. Unfortunately, this is not a valid conclusion.
- Identification: Identification refers to the ability to derive unique values for each model parameter. It's probably a little overkill to go into the details of this here. But in a nutshell, one needs for a model to be overidentified in order to determine how well that model fits the data. For a formative measure to be identified, one must add reflective measures as outcomes of the formative measure. But because measures cause constructs in a formative model, adding these measures has implications about the construct (which, if I may editorialize a bit here, makes a huge mess of things).
- Measurement Error: In a reflective model, measurement error is associated with each item – this is the degree to which the item is unique and measures constructs other than the construct that it is supposed to measure. In a formative model, measurement error is associated with the latent construct instead. Each measure contributes some explanation of the latent construct, and whatever is left over is error. Thus the implicit assumption in a formative model is that the items do not possess unique measurement error – which seems a little odd, at least in the context of psychological constructs. Errors in recall, day to day affect fluctuations, etc. – these and many other sources of item-level measurement error appear to be discarded in formative models.
- Construct Validity: In a reflective model, construct validity refers to the degree to which a measure reflects the construct they are supposed to measure. Construct validation is intended to determine how well the measures represent the construct, which is a process that ultimately relies on researcher judgment. In a formative model, these decisions are made statistically, using by examining the interrelationships within the model itself. This means that the construct's validity is driven by the kinds of variables you test its validity with, which makes it quite tricky.
- Causality: As stated before, in a reflective model, constructs cause measures, while in a formative model, measures cause constructs.
Thus, reflective models describe measures as imperfect indicators of underlying phenomena while formative models describe measures as an indistinguishable part of the constructs they are tied to.
I think the problem with pure formative models can be illustrated with this example. Consider a 10-question scale measuring the psychological state of happiness. Using a reflective model, we would use theory to conceptually define happiness and develop 10 questions to measure the construct. We would iteratively work to include only items that had high item-total correlations so that we had consistency of measurement, although we accept that we won't have perfect measurement, as that would be impossible. We also realize that happiness exists independently of whether or not we measure it, and whether or not we measure it well.
A formative model would not make many of these assumptions. For example, once we created a 10-question scale, we have created a construct. If multidimensionality in measurement is discovered, that indicates a multidimensional construct. Rather than saying happiness exists as a human characteristic that we are attempting to measure, we say that this measurement is a part of the definition of whatever construct is being measured (hopefully happiness). Individual items in the measure do not contain both common elements of happiness and their own unique contributions; instead, they contribute directly to the variance in the constructs. For example, an item "I am generally happy at work." contains variance contributed both by general happiness and work-specific (unique) happiness when explored reflectively. From a formative perspective, the unique variance gets added to the error associated with the latent trait – it is a part of the construct, but a part that doesn't help explain anything theoretically. Simply because we asked the question, it becomes a part of the construct – which, in my opinion, doesn't really make any sense.
Thus, Edwards' conclusion is that formative measurement is based on invalid assumptions about the nature of data in the six categories listed above. He continues by suggesting alternatives to pure formative models by combining elements of reflective models with them. These mixed models are no longer purely formative, but maintain many of the advantages of formative measurement – for example, better handling of multidimensional constructs.
For my own work, this has convinced me that, at a minimum, formative models as they exist currently are too controversial to be employed safely, both from a publishing perspective and for me to be confident in my own conclusions.Footnotes:

A substantial reduction is reported in the threshold current densities for 1.5 mu m wavelength InxGa1-xAs/InxGa1-xAs1-yPy strained-layer multiple quantum well (SL-MQW) lasers over lattice-matched MQW lasers. Threshold current density was found to depend sensitively on the InAs content x and thickness d of the InxGa1-xAs quantum wells. Threshold current densities as low as 370 A/cm2 and internal quantum efficiency of 90% were obtained for separate confinement heterostructure Sl-MQW lasers having four quantum wells and with x=0.65 and d=5 nm. Such a threshold current density is among the lowest values obtained thus far for 1.5 mu m wavelength InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW lasers. The present lasers were grown by chemical beam epitaxy.

Does Dell have a cloudy cloud strategy story (Part II)?
By Greg Schulz
This is the second of two posts (here is the first post) that are part of ongoing industry trends and perspectives cloud conversations series that looks at Dell and their cloud strategy story.
So what does the above have to do with Dell having a cloudy cloud strategy story?
Simple, there have been some rather low-key, almost quiet or muddled announcements (also here, here and here) about Dell and Nirvanix collaborating around public cloud storage. Keep in mind that Nirvanix and IBM not too long ago also announced a partnership that some jumped to the conclusion that big blue was about to buy the startup vendor, even though IBM already has other cloud and storage as a service, or backup as a service and DR as a service offerings, what the heck, the more the merrier for big blue?
What about Dell and their partnership with Nirvanix, (more on that in the first post) did somebody jump the gun, or jump the shark?
Is Dell trying to walk the tightrope between being a supplier to major cloud providers while carefully moving into the cloud services market themselves, or are they simply addressing point customer situation or opportunities, at least for the time being?
Alternatively, is this nothing more than Dell establishing another partnership with a technology partner who also happens to be in the services business, similar to what Dell is doing with OpenStack and others?
IMHO Dell has some of the pieces and partnerships and could be a strong contender in the SMB and SME private cloud space, along with VDI and related areas with their Citrix, Microsoft and VMware partnerships. This is also also leveraging their servers and, storage, software, networking and other solutions to supply service providers.
The rest comes down to what markets or areas of focus does Dell want to target, that would in turn dictate how to extend what they already have or what they need to go out and get or partner around.
What say you, what's your take on Dells cloud strategy story and portfolio?
Ok, nuff said (for now).

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

Tiger leaps out of enclosure, kills Vietnam zookeeper
HANOI (Reuters) - A zookeeper in Vietnam was mauled to death and another injured by a tiger that leapt out of its enclosure to attack the workers, newspapers reported on Friday. Zoo workers were planting trees in an adjacent enclosure when the tiger pounced on them after leaping over the dividing wall at the Dai Nam Zoo, just north of Ho Chi Minh City.
One worker leapt into a pond to dodge the animal, which attacked the others infront of horrified visitors. "The wall between the two enclosures was made of concrete and about 5 or 6 metres high," the newspaper Thanh Nien quoted Duong Thanh Phi, director of the private zoo as saying.
According to conservation group WWF, there are about 4,000 tigers left in the world and they are considered an endangered species.

Karen Finley revisits 9/11-Liza Minnelli Tribute MAKE LOVE 9/3-17
Internationally acclaimed performance artist Karen Finley honors the 10th Anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center with an encore engagement of her critically acclaimed piece MAKE LOVE. This cabaret-driven, lounge-style act co-starring drag performer and artist
Chris Tanner, pianist Lance Cruce, and a rotating roster of Liza Minnelli impersonators will run September 3 - 17 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
In MAKE LOVE, Finley channels Liza Minnelli in song, dance, glamour and glitter. Liza's tragicomic life is the backdrop as one New Yorker grasps to make sense of post-9/11 America. The "Divaness" of Liza as an icon and symbol of New York becomes the place to throw pathos,
hilarity, mockery and taboos. With piano, torch singing and KAREN FINLEY as the narrator, MAKE LOVE is a complex amalgam of humor, pain and compassion.
"Liza Minnelli is New York," explains Finley. "She keeps on trying. After her hip replacement, she still gets up and dances. Every time she gets knocked down, she gets right back up." Finley encourages audience members to come dressed as their own inner-Liza.
MAKE LOVE originally premiered in 2003 at Fez in NoHo. It won raves from critics and audiences alike and was extended five times. The piece became required viewing in Performance Studies classes at both NYU and Columbia University. It was also a haven for celebrities seeking an alternative take on 9/11, attracting the likes of Joan Rivers, Boy George, Frasier's Jane Adams, Queer as Folk's Randy Harrison, Blaine Trump, Michael Musto, The B-52's Kate Pierson, Rufus
Wainwright and more. Over the past 7 years, Make Love has also been seen at venues across the US and internationally.

We're fast approaching the time of year when the roach in the Thames will be in the mood to eat small seeds, mainly hemp and tares.
You use hemp as a loose bait and tares on the hook and the secret to success is patience. I will come back to this later.
For tackle, there are two approaches. I start by using a 13ft match rod loaded with 2lb mainline.
For a float, I use an insert waggler with all the shot bunched under it and one No 1 12 inches from the hook, which is a size 18 barbed to a 1ft 5in hooklength.
This will be fished just tripping the bottom in mid-river.
On every trot down, throw a few grains of hemp over the float. If it is too far, a bait catapult makes the job easier.
I also set up a pole, using a No 6 elastic with a small bristle insert float. I use this after about four hours of fishing when the roach are really on the seed.
You will need half a pint of tares, two pints of hemp and I also take a pint of casters to catch a few fish on a bait other than tares, so you don't put them off at an early stage.
Now, let's get back to that word patience I mentioned earlier.
You must give yourself at least two hours of trotting and baiting, and don't expect a bite for some time.
Persevere and what may seem like a boringly slow start will turn into a hectic finale with a bite a chuck.
This really works, I do it every year with good roach catches resulting.
Last year, I took bags of up to 40lb from several different swims and individual fish up to 1lb 12oz.
You might not believe it, but I have fed a few grains every minute for an hour (that's approximately 650 grains) without fishing and in the next 60 minutes I had 10lb of roach and finished with over 30lb.
So give it a try. If you can't prepare your own seeds, you can buy them canned or frozen.
I have got mine recently from FTB Tackle in Northway, who have an excellent bait selection.

Product description
You might be thinking everything's okay: the stock market is on the rise, jobs are growing, the worst of it is over.You'd be wrong.In "The Real Crash," "New York Times" bestselling author Peter D. Schiff argues that America is enjoying a government-inflated bubble, one that reality will explode . . . with disastrous consequences for the economy and for each of us. Schiff demonstrates how the infusion of billions of dollars of stimulus money has only dug a deeper hole: the United States government simply spends too much and does not collect enough money to pay its debts, and in the end, Americans from all walks of life will face a crushing consequence. We're in hock to China, we can't afford the homes we own, and the entire premise of our currency---backed by the full faith and credit of the United States---is false. Our system is broken, Schiff says, and there are only two paths forward. The one we're on now leads to a currency and sovereign debt crisis that will utterly destroy our economy and impoverish the vast majority of our citizens. However, if we change course, the road ahead will be a bit rockier at first, but the final destination will be far more appealing. If we want to avoid complete collapse, we must drastically reduce government spending---eliminate entire agencies, end costly foreign military escapades and focus only on national defense---and stop student loan or mortgage interest deductions, as well as drug wars and bank-and-business bailouts. We must also do what no politician or pundit has proposed: America should declare bankruptcy, restructure its debts, and reform our system from the ground up. Persuasively argued and provocative, "The Real Crash" explains how we got into this mess, how we might get out of it, and what happens if we don't. And, with wisdom born from having predicted the Crash of 2008, Peter Schiff explains how to protect yourself, your family, your money, and your country against what he predicts.

Author information
PETER D. SCHIFF is an American investment broker, author, and financial commentator, and was a candidate in the 2010 Republican primary for the United States Senate seat from Connecticut. He frequently appears as a guest on CNBC and Fox News, and is the host of the radio show and podcast "The Peter Schiff Show."He is the author of the" New York Times" bestselling "Crash Proof" and "Crash Proof 2.0," as well as "The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets," which was also a "Business Week" bestseller.
Review quote
"Peter Schiff sounded the alarm about the housing bubble created by the Federal Reserve and predicted the bubble's inevitable collapse, yet he was ignored by mainstream economists and ridiculed by the media. In The Real Crash he is at it again, illustrating how the financial crisis of 2008 is nothing compared to what is coming down the road. Peter Schiff is right again. I hope more people listen this time." - Ron Paul; Congressman (TX-14) and three time Presidential Candidate "Peter Schiff's new book "The Real Crash; America's Coming Bankruptcy" is written in the same blunt and punchy style that makes him a favorite guest on my Fox News show. It's not just what he says, but the fact that he lives what he says. Unlike Some authors who talk about business as spectators, Peter doesn't speak from the ivory tower of academia or from the comfort of an anchor chair. He runs a real business and fights every day to make it a success in spite of all the government's tax and regulatory policies."-- Mike Huckabee; Host of The Huckabee Show and former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate "America's political leaders should have taken Peter's 2007 book, Crash Proof, to heart before they tried to borrow, print and bail us out of trouble. Today, they -- along with all Americans -- absolutely must take heed of The Real Crash. Peter Schiff understands the marketplace, and he understands the consequences that occur when government attempts to manage that marketplace. Pay attention, America!"-- Gary Johnson, Former governor of New Mexico and presidential candidate "In 'The Real Crash, ' the fearless Peter Schiff has written the most compelling argument against central economic planning and debt-financed consumption to come along since our present woes were exacerbated in 2008. His explanations of how unfettered free choices will produce prosperity, and how ending the Federal Reserve, abolishing the IRS, and returning to the gold standard will tame the feder

Smith and Espargaro ready for Tech3's home round
Smith's recent form has seen him flirt with the accolade of the leading satellite bike in the opening races, and he will be looking to finish in the top five at Le Mans.
"After a quite satisfying start to the year in terms of results, I am fully confident of battling for a positive finish at the team's home Grand Prix," comments the Englishman. "We had a useful post race test in Jerez and found some valuable information, which will aid my riding and setup. I rode to my first ever podium here in the 125 class in 2007, so Le Mans holds some good memories for me and I intend to create some more here this round."
"It's a really technical and demanding track, however I enjoy a lot riding here and even if there is still a little work to be done, I am certain to put on a good show for the team this weekend."
Meanwhile, rookie Espargaro will look to continue the solid start to his MotoGP™ career and aims to collect his fourth top ten finish, as he consistently battles against established riders in the top half of the field.
He added, "I won the race here in 2010 in the 125 class, and have always enjoyed the circuit. I am still learning step by step, but am feeling really confident, especially after testing a few things on the bike in the test after the Jerez race. I feel very optimistic in achieving a good result in front of the team's fans and am excited to see what I can do aboard the Yamaha YZR-M1 at Le Mans."
