Book Description:
This volume investigates the neighborhoods of ancient Rome during the reign of the first Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus (27 BCE-14 CE). Focusing on a group of neighborhood-based voluntary associations that were important political and social communities for the city's diverse population of slaves and ex-slaves, it locates the Augustan neighborhoods within the broader context of the history of Rome. John Bert Lott stresses their importance as physical and cultural divisions of the city and investigates the distinctive relationship between local neighborhoods and Augustus himself.

Policy Papers - April 08, 2013
Taking Stock, Moving Forward: Report on the 2012 Elections to the UN Security Council
François Carrel-Billiard, rapporteur
On April 8, 2013 in Helsinki, IPI President Terje Rød-Larsen presented to Finland's Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja a survey of the 2012 elections to the UN Security Council.
This survey, "Taking Stock, Moving Forward," was conducted by IPI at the request of the Foreign Ministry of Finland. Its objective is to provide an independent assessment of the elections along with lessons learned.
The report focuses on the campaign for the seats allocated to the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) for which Australia, Finland, and Luxembourg were competing. It looks in particular at the themes of the campaign, the strategies chosen by the candidates, the resources they mobilized for their campaigns, their tactics, the ideologies that shaped the context of the elections and the attitudes of the candidates, and the ethical dilemmas they faced.
It also identifies lessons learned for Finland, for its close regional partners of the Nordic states and of the European Union, and for the larger UN membership.
The report is based on confidential interviews conducted by IPI with more than fifty delegates and senior officials from all regional groups in member states missions in New York and in capitals, as well as a few independent experts.

Apple Inc.'s popular iPad is getting its strongest competition thus far as consumer-electronics manufacturers unveil tablet computers with bigger screens, front-facing cameras for video chatting and more.
The iPad has been a smashing success since its April launch, leaving other companies to play catch-up in the suddenly hot market for the keyboardless, touch-screen devices. Rivals are making a bigger push at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, betting they can challenge Apple with such features as Android, the popular smart phone software Google Inc. developed to compete with the iPhone; high-definition touch screens and cameras for video chatting and taking photos.
The competition is going to be fierce. Display Search analyst Richard Semenza estimated that a hundred different tablet models are in development, though not all of them will reach store shelves.

Who is a better chef: Dan Barber or Eric Rippert
Who do you think cooks better not just restaurant.
Ripert understands fish fairly perfectly but I think Barber understands vegetables and other proteins equally well.
Both chefs a bit, umm... austere in their approaches and aesthetics. I find it almost impossible to charge either chef with lapses in technique-- like, ever--- but equally difficult to find anything on my plate which excites me. Ripert makes Carl Andre and Donald Judd seem overly exuberant as artists, and Barber is so enamored of sous-vide cooking that I think he might break into hives if he ever found anything crunchy contaminating his plate. That said, you'll still never find better fish (or less of it) than you will at Le B, and Barber knows exactly when to get out of a vegetable's way. In the end, it's the whole reductivist, "less is more" philosophy embraced by both chefs ( but more pronouncedly so with Ripert---last time there I was served what I imagine to be a deconstucted Sole Veronique which consisted, no joke, of a two-ounce slab of poached Escolar and exactly three peeled grape haves. And nothing else ) that leaves me a little cold.
re: diropstim
actually andre and esp judd are/were overly exuberant artists in my book (i mean murdering your spouse)? but i getcha.
ripert leaving you stunned and hungry when you are spending a lot of loot for some mad minimalist vision is just not right.
re: diropstim
we should dine together at judd's table in marfa. heh.
I'd never turn down a meal at either place, don't get me wrong. It's just that my last meal at Le Bernadin seemed so anticlimactic. I can't say that I was disappointed because nothing disappointed. The cooking was flawless, the wines interesting and well-paired, the service impeccable and even the sommelier was a hottie (bonus.) What the experience was not, however, was exciting, crave-inducing, revelatory or particularly memorable. I guess maybe I was expecting or hoping for something (at both places ) that was never in the cards in the first place: namely, big flavors and/ or inspired
combinations of flavors, of textures, of temperatures etc. Instead I got exercise in nuance so ethereal that they threatened to evanesce before mine very eyes. Which is fine. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's what they do.
Chefs that are exciting me right now? Vongerichten (still light and clean in his flavor profiles, but his flavors are much brighter, more focused and frequently more unexpected than anything I've had at either Blue Hill or Le Bernadin). Boulud. Keller. Carmellini. Conant. Batali (yes, still).Gallante (though he does inch pretty close to the line in the kitchen which reads: "effete girlyman food"). Pellacio.
Hell, let's even throw Valenti in there, the man's not afraid to go big.
I agree with two things - 1) very different styles, slightly different ethic too with Barber's "farm" bent 2) that reference to "quien es mas macho?" -- that was a great skit.

Opinions on a freezer
** Are there any brands I should avoid? **
There are only a limited number of freezer manufacturers left in the market place, all the other appliance manufacturers just rebrand those with their own brand names. Frigidaire had 68% of the domestic market share in 2002 and WC Wood 21%.
You can see whom makes what brand of freezer in the "Who makes what" page in the 'Repair Parts' section of my site linked below.
IMO both makes are about the same quality although Wood's replacement parts prices are usually significantly lower than Frigidaire's but may not be as readily accessible (few places sell them).
BTW. If you ask the butcher to pre-freeze the meat for you it will put less strain on the freezer than loading a whole (or even 1/2) side of beef into it at one time. Only full size freezers would even be able to handle such a load adequately.

I don't care about 911, Obama's birth certificate, nor Sandy HookSubmitted by OctoBox on Mon, 01/21/2013 - 19:59
Hold your Horses.
I cared about 911 and Sandy Hook when the stories first broke; my heart ached like the rest of you. 911 more so than Sandy Hook, but Sandy Hook more so because of 911 (the biggest large scale uncertainty event in US History -- during my life time -- Oklahoma bothered me but when I knew it was a criminal act, not as much).
What do I mean by "I don't care"
Caring is Action -- Love is Action -- Laughther is Action
I'm not "acting" on Sandy Hook in a way that would prevent the next Sandy Hook -- and honestly neither are any of you; otherwise your "action" on 911 would have prevented Sandy Hook or the Birther fiasco.
Show me one bit of action that has lead to one free-market type reform that is now in effect -- for me there are NONE and so the time spent "acting" on these topics is either a waste or it is just emotional entertainment. Either it gets us something, toward free-market liberty, or it does not and thus serves another purpose (I suggest these events once the raw emotions are over are for sport / entertainment -- porn-like sensory stimulation -- coffee substitute).
I have "acted" on Love and Laughter since 911, since Sandy Hook, and well I just never cared about Obama's B-cert because I've believed since 1988 that "one-man" does not cause the up-rise or down-fall of a nation.
I never hero-worshiped Christ, Buddha, MLK Jr, or Ronald Reagan and I liked all of them better than Bush 1 & 2, Clinton, Obama -- So why would I do that with Ron Paul? I wouldn't and I supported him in 1988.
So, and for the same reason, one event cannot ruin my world unless it touches my world and for me it would have to touch really close to home (someone I knew or loved) and even then I would not VOTE my revenge -- I would just be sad for a year or so, but life for me is about finding happiness even if the circle I find it in gets smaller and smaller -- I will still seek it and find it.
Venegence-Seeking is why Libertarians cannot figure out the Matrix -- why they, of all parties, cannot come up with a line-of-best-fit; instead Libertarians are in two camps -- Anti-Any-President / Anti-Voting-Lobbying and Anti-Current-President / Pro-Voting-Lobbying.
One is "truly" libertarian and the other is NOT.
I don't care about 911 and Sandy Hook because no one in either of those communities does anything but bytch and moan -- no "action" no love, no caring, no laughter.
They orgy themselves on media scraps and spend all day long dissecting it.
Do you know how many times a "Truther" has watched or googled "people falling from towers" -- It is "porn" to them, at this point.
Any media image (and all truther videos are provided by "media") and any activity that enters the campaign trail (as birthers, truthers, and now hookers have done so) is ALL for the perpetuation of corporatism because these "images" are not born from free-market "like" persuits.
If you were free you wouldn't be gorging yourself on them, you'd be too busy ensuring your next months earnings -- a free-society is a scrape and hustle society; not a 1st-world-problems type world. Savers are workers -- workers with no guarantees to work; that's the free-society.
All free-market economists argue that a free-society is a saver society not a spender -- spending is a leisure activity; a saver is more like a Dwarf from Lord of the Rings, hahahahaha.
So while everyone laments and gnashes their teeth and pounds their fists I will go on trying to find ways to get "consumer-sovereignty" up-front and center of the movement.
While the rest of you find another RP to replace RP with -- who in 40 years was not able to get one piece of "free-market" type legislation in action BECAUSE free-markets are controlled by consumers NOT voters.
I can't follow you guys down another never-ending Birther nightmare of a waste of time that leads to NO free-market action.
Blogging is in-action under Corporatism -- so far, it has lead to not one hair-breadth of a movement in the direction of liberty.
Lawn-Signs - Voting - Blogging - Lobbying - Protests - Occu-pies
These are the things we now know do not one free-market make.
Guns (we've had them since Washington) -- Not one movement toward a free-society did they help to make.
Free-Speech -- Either we do not know the right words or free-speech does not beget a free-society. I'm hopeful that the former is true; that we do not know the right words.
I say let's try something NEW -- but I also find down-votes amusing, hahahaha.

I'd like to know more about your ideas on "consumer-sovereignty."
My husband and I have decided that putting our money in better places is one of the things we CAN change. So far, we've switched our mortgage from one of the bailed-out banks to a local credit union. We stopped using our bailed-out-bank credit card.
Now we're trying to decide if our 401K, which is doing well and is not with a company that took a bailout or has been involved (as far as my research skills go) with shenanigans, should be left alone or if we should bite the 20 percent penalty to pay off the bad-bank card. This bankcard is tied to the airline we use most. We fly a lot so we get a few award flights a year. We'd like our airline to do business with a better bank so we wouldn't face that conundrum. But alas...
I'd be most interested in thoughts on how to best place savings and debt. I'm interested in an approach that feeds off the idea that if everyone did thus-and-such, we'd change the financial marketplace.
I agree with some
It is particularly useless to endlessly google conspiracy theories... That's why Ron Paul doesn't engage in the theories. I've read that the Jesuits control the world, The vatican controls the world, the Rothchilds control the world, the rockefellers control the world, the bushs control the world, that the jews control the world.... and that's just the start. We haven't gotten to lizard people yet.
But to say we've made no change or that Ron Paul has had no effect is not true. I would have voted for McCain in 2008 happily had it not been for Ron Paul showing me the light.
Never forget
A large part of the Libertarian movement is truth! While you are fixated on action, others are working the side of the coin. Their actions are determining truth and helping others to discern truth from lies and propaganda.
Libertarianism is a multi-faceted entity. I hope you have continued happiness in your pursuits. While you might be content to accept the world as it is handed to you, others opt to challenge it.
Know me, and you will know of the men and women that forged my soul.
Dear OctoBbox, Friend & Foe, Colorado Rivier awaits. Got a raft?
Dear OctoBbox, Friend & Foe,
Subject: Down The Green & Colorado Rivers: "Tetons the Sea. 3 minute tour w/ DownTheColorado.org Let your liberty flow.
Here is your personal, up close preview of a wonderful float down this mighty Southwest river.
This film chronicles a 113 day journey down the Green and Colorado Rivers, from source to sea. Start up in Wind River Mountains, Wyoming in October 2011. Finish at the Sea of Cortez, Mexico in January 2012. The river begins as a trickle, carves ever deeper and more spectacular canyons. By diversion, it shrinks to a trickle again.
The Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortez or Sea of Cortés or Vermilion Sea; locally known in the Spanish language as Mar de Cortés or Mar Bermejo or Golfo de California).

Did You See
What happened to the Ron Paul delegates in Louisiana during the campaign? Wasn't THAT ACTION? We ARE trying but it took a long time for the country to get taken over and it will take a while to take it back! I just hope we have time!
First; you don't talk down to people
Instead of getting people motivated about making some positive ACTION happen, everyone is just thinking about how to tell you to STFU for ACTING like a dick.
Second; You want cooperation? Set the example. Don't add another post to the pile of wasted words and wasted ACTION.

I'm just saying what people have tried, since 1790 'till today
has not benefited EVERYONE'S liberty -- only a few.
The Upper 6% of Whites owned the Slaves in the South.
The Upper 8% of Whites set policy in 1790.
The Upper 8% (mostly whites but no longer exclusive) set policy 2013.
The Dollar (the valuation mechanism of all assets) *according to Ron Paul* has fallen every year since 1912 and more so since 2000 -- even faster since 2007.
Either that is a true statement or it is not -- that our freedoms are less.
That means that all efforts to today have failed -- in "real" terms.
Why would you identify with wasted effort and become emotional?
My efforts have failed to get people (on the DP) to see that NOT EVERYONE was free in 1790 -- thus STOP HARKING BACK to that era as an era of freedom.
My efforts have failed to show that every Founding Father (President and Congress) have CIRCUMVENTED the Constitution -- all the way up till today -- People still hero-worship the Founders.
I don't identify with my failures -- I just acknowledge them and look for new approaches.
I had NO IDEA this thread would strike such a sensitive chord -- otherwise I would have written it in 2008.
Very interesting......

WTF is this babble?
"Caring is Action -- Love is Action -- Laughther is Action"
Yes and so are a great many things. Including running, fighting, moneybombs, email campaigns, blog posts, sign waves, endless examples.
"one event cannot ruin my world unless" it does apparently. And nothing hurts you unless it does. DEEP.
"Do you know how many times a "Truther" has watched or googled 'people falling from towers'"
No but I was under the impression there's more than one Truther. Are you speaking for all of them?
"Any media image...and any activity that enters the campaign trail...is ALL for the perpetuation of corporatism because these "images" are not born from free-market "like" persuits." (sic)
I see. So all the images, youtubes, signs and shirts we made were somehow dictated and controlled by who? Obama? You are going for a record on sweeping generalisations here aren't you?
"Blogging is in-action under Corporatism -- so far, it has lead to not one hair-breadth of a movement in the direction of liberty."
Ah I see. No minds have been changed, opened or swayed. No information was passed, no learning took place ON ANY BLOG EVER. I guess we all learned libertarian ideology from....what? Toothpaste? You are really sounding the fool.
"Guns (we've had them since Washington) -- Not one movement toward a free-society did they help to make."
Because the revolutionary war was fought with soap bubbles.
"I say let's try something NEW"
Logic perhaps?
Be brave, be brave, the Myan pilot needs no aeroplane.
Not sure that any of us can prevent the next fiascos.
But we can EXPOSE so people will wake up and stop succumbing to the traps that come along with the fiascos.
...such as going along with torture, indefinite detention, the so-called Patriot Act, the phony baloney war on terror, and now the threats to our right to keep and bear arms.
If people don't know they're being lied to, they have little reason to not go along with the agendas being pushed by the gov't/media.
I don't care about those things either
I do so by not making posts about them, mainly
Nice to see you post again octo! Now, get back to talking people into circles
Octo does manage to get people's pet goat.

I don't know where to start.
A lot of words, but I don't get the point(s).
Caring and Love and Laughter are all great things, I agree. They don't define action and action does not necessarily mean Caring and Love and Laughter. I'm lost there.
And how do these actions get us to a free market? Is that the whole end-game anyway?
Political boxes? Gorging on truther porn? Guns and blogging?
I guess your point is you think none of these things is of value because you haven't seen the big machine changing course. Therefore this type of action in useless, and so you don't care.
I would love to hear your solution to getting from point A to point B.
Please define A and B.
Exposing The Sandy Hook Hoax Is Important Because
... it is an opportunity for the public to verbosely see how immensely corrupt the government is in its pursuit of gun control.
The gun control issue which is now coming to a head is arguably the most important political issue of all time.

It makes me sick to think that I have to fight for your right to say these things but that is America, isn't it?
Just like I can call you the coward and selfish bast*rd that you are.
What the hell are you here for?
Is this how you get your jollies?
By accepting whatever your overlords cram down your scumsucking throat?
I NEVER like you nor your self righteous "save-the-hero-cops" attitude.
I do appreciate the way you define yourself, though, so we don't have to remind people the kind of stands you've made around here for a couple of years.
Did you wear a blue hat for the cops in Chicago in 1968?
I bet you were the arsehole on the firehoses, too, weren't you?
You are worthless! May your children leave you to die a lonely and bitter old man (because THAT is what you are now).

Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
I write words (in an open forum) and you turn to curses
hahahaha -- "emote much"
Everything you said was false.......so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Here's what I'm saying (summarized):
According to all Rothbardians / Misesians / RP-himself our freedoms have been stripped, each year (every year getting worse), since 1912.
I'm arguing that since Women, Poor Whites, Indians, and Blacks in many and in some cases IN ALL instances could not vote in 1790 -- they could not avail gov't for "benefits" (as did the Founders) and as for Blacks-Indians-Women their "lot" did not become "a little" till the 1920's.
Ignoring Broken Treaties, Stolen Generations, Stolen Lands, Jim Crown, Women's Suffrage, Black Codes, and Gerrymandering from 1860 on.
Also EVERY SINGLE Paulian - Rothbardian - Misesian all-to-the-one argue that OUR RIGHTS have been lessened from 1912 to 2000 and worse-so (as each group argues) from 2007 to 20012 (thanks Obama).
IF THEY ARGUE THAT (and they do -- as did the Judge today, yesterday, and everyday since 2007) then all actions taken to "thwart" boom-bust-corporatist cycle HAS FAILED.
Why is it hard to say it -- either we have some measure of GREATER FREEDOM from our efforts OR WE DO NOT.
I have NEVER ONCE since 2007 heard one Paulian argue that we are better off "now that" (xyz effort has been made).
RP has argued that our dollar has fallin every-day, in value, since 1912 and worse since 2000.
Either it's true, the valuation mechanism all assets are termed in, is declining or IT IS FALSE.
Insert Einstein's definition of insanity and MAYBE we should think out-side-the-box?
Call me crazy and curse me -- you'd have to ignore reality to do so.
I'mmmmm the bad guy? For pointing out that what has been attempted has not brought one iota of greater freedom? Seriously? I'm the worse?
I personally
never lump sum events or get discouraged by unpopular label. I look at each event SEPARATELY, look at the known facts and reasoning from both sides of the argument, then apply my OWN reason.
A. 9/11. I explored basement structure of WT7 (where the inner columns were sitting on two steel trusses rather than on their own foundations). It became clear that the free fall is logical when support of one of the trusses yields.
B. Obama. When I looked at Obama birth certificate directly from the White House website, I zoomed 1600 and discovered that resolution of text and that of the background is different. Scanners, cameras or optimization software do not produce that (OCR - optical character recognition - was not used.) Obama IS a fraud to me.
C. Sandy Hook. When the media mentioned that police and witnesses were given drugs, the latter's bizarre acting does not surprise me. I see no solid facts for a staged operation so far.
My all time favorite. Thanks for reading my mind and putting this together.
yeah, rollo...
you are the same jerk who says, "welcome to the daily kook" when discussing sandy hoax!
you and octocox deserve each other...(you are probably already blue buddies)!!!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
And you're the guy who has
And you're the guy who has flamed every single member of the daily paul... why?
"daily kook" is F-in Funny!
kooks make the world go round.
They call ron paul a "kook".
lighten up, as I have.
It will work itself out.
notice i didnt call you ecolib?
"OH NO! He has a SON?" Neoconservatives and Liberals EVERYWHERE!
Rand Paul 2016
Eye opening
The way I see it is that the more we can discredit the "establishment" (MSM/gov.org) etc. the more people will extricate their craniums from their colons, wipe the feces from their eyes and ears and start seeing and understanding what is happening to their country while their heads were in that warm dark environment.
Rude image, LOL!
Free includes debt-free!
You took the time to tell us
what you don't care about.
I don't care if you don't care!
What does your lack of care re these topics have do to promote market solutions.
Why take the opportunity to tell us, where's the profit in that.
How about something hard hitting on consumer sovereignty rather this rambling expose on the success of people being wrong?
Free includes debt-free!
"Show me one bit of action
"Show me one bit of action that has lead to one free-market type reform that is now in effect -- for me there are NONE and so the time spent "acting" on these topics is either a waste or it is just emotional entertainment."
Real Action as a result of the free market? Proof of purchase.
Have you tried to by ammunition lately? Gun prices are through the roof (because of demand) and the gun manufacturing companies stock prices are going through the roof too. Millions of Americans have taken serious action as a result of what supposedly happened at Sandy Hook, and they are voting and acting with their wallets, literally.
This is the kind of action that leads to free-market economic AND political reform. The market is responding. The politicians are responding too, and their response is driving the reform both economically and politically.
Thank you, president Obama. America is now armed to the teeth. He took a shot at the gun owners beehive, and now we're all buzzing around stinging them with truth seeking questions....questions that drive people to seek answers, and the answers are leading to results.
Never be afraid to ask simple questions.
Excellent point. CARING is an action verb.
That means taking ACTION. IF you care about something, you ACT.
(Corollary: If you do NOT care about something, you TALK and not act, irregardless of your EMOTIONS or passion about the subject.)
Typing, as you correctly point out, is not ACTING.
Many libertarians, just like most Americans today, believe that expression of an opinion is equivalent to action. It is not. In fact, it is the VERY DEFINITION of INaction.
Action is action. A=A. Inaction is NOT action. Action means up out of your seat, outside, taking ACTION.
I'll probably get a million downvotes for this reply, but those downvotes, just like opinions, are irrelevant in light of the facts and do not change the facts.
Talking out loud IS action!
Talking out loud IS action! This is a blog and I may be typing, but in reality I AM SPEAKING. The written word is called FREE SPEECH, and by engaging in our right to free speech, we are taking action.
An opinion can be more powerful than any weapon.
An IDEA can be more powerful than a gun.
Call me an armchair quarterback, but the "fans," and voters buy the tickets, and go to the "game." If the coach or president sucks, the armchair QB is a big reason why they get fired.
TALKING or blogging out loud does NOT fall upon deaf ears. Every single human in the world has only 6 degrees of separation between themselves and you.
Opinions matter, facts matter, TRUTH matters, and what one blogs/speaks matters most.
Never be afraid to ask simple questions.

I don't think the general public understands how rare it is for resident families to get to see each other for more than a couple of hours a time. Or to get to have lunch together (or sometimes dinner for that matter). Or to go places in the same car. I kind of forget that normal people do those things.
Well, this month has spoiled us for sure. Since he basically gets to choose what he does, Eric's been mixing it up by:
1) Following a private practice nephrologist (kidney doctor) around and talking with him about what life is like post-residency. (News flash: it's sweeeeeet!).
2) Working on a research paper with one of the medical students and attendings.
3) Working in his own clinic a few days a week (the free clinic downtown - all the medicine residents have to put in a few days a month).
4) Going to various academic lectures etc. and getting free lunches while he's there. Nice.
That seems like a lot, but it's translated to a lot of not going into work until 9 (like normal people I guess??) and being home by 4/5/6 at the latest. And only having to work 1 weekend out of 4. (Once again, this may not seem that great, but after a month in the ICU with 90-100 hour weeks, it's gold.)
So we've been taking advantage and have basically gone on 4 dates in the last week. That's right, 4. It's not that fiscally responsible, but I don't even care right now. :-)
1. I found a groupon for a local driving range/putt putt place. We've been wanting to work on our (non-existent) golfing skills, so we got a babysitter and took off for a couple of hours last Saturday afternoon. As expected, Eric's not too shabby. I'm terrible. Like miss-the-ball-40% of the time-terrible. But it was fun. :-)
I'm terrible about taking pictures of the two of us, so this is all we have!
2. One of the perks of being a resident is that the department puts on dinners twice a week from November through January for incoming interviewees to meet with current residents/ask questions etc. They're usually at fairly swanky places and they need at least a few spouses to tag along too. So Monday night we left Samuel with a friend and took off downtown to a fancy restaurant we would probably never actually spend the money to go to, all expenses paid. Granted, we had to chit chat with people we didn't know all night. But we got to dress up and act all swanky and I had the best chicken I've had in forever, so I can't really complain. It was definitely date-esque. And hopefully we'll get to do this two or three more times in the next couple of months. :-D
3. This is probably the least romantic thing ever, but Samuel had preschool yesterday so Eric took the morning off and we went to the dentist for the first time in forever and got our teeth cleaned. Then, since we'd already arranged for Samuel to stay late in case our appointments ran long, we went and enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch at Panera. Just us, eating soup and sandwiches on a cold day, cuddling in a corner booth. Perfection (the soup and cuddling, not the dentist part).
4. Our YMCA offers a Parents Night Out a couple of times a month on the cheap (like, less than half as much as a babysitter). Since Samuel LOVES the Y, we arranged a few weeks ago for him to try it out tonight. He had a blast, and we got 4 hours of us time, which we spent running a few errands, trying a new restaurant, doing some Christmas shopping (aka playing with the toys at Target) and filling our Operation Christmas Child shoebox, and then heading back to Panera for yummy hot chocolates with caramel sauce. In the big mugs, because we weren't in a hurry to get away, <3 nbsp="">3>
Seriously, these things are soooo good!
Anyway, needless to say, it's been amazing. It's back to reality and long workdays/weeks/random night shifts etc. on Thursday. But this month - it's been just lovely. <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">3>

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Hot on the heels of South by Southwest comes another music festival: the Winter Music Conference - and we do mean hot. The WMC is all about dance music, and it just wrapped up in Miami. This year, the 25th anniversary of the conference one of the largest music industry gatherings in the world. It began small, but today the WMC attracts the likes of P. Diddy and the Black Eyed Peas.
Sami Yenigun was there and he reports now on the early days of dance music and where the culture around it might be headed.
SAMI YENIGUN: In 1985, DJs and record producers Luis Possenti and Bill Kelly held a meeting of about 80 dance music industry insiders in a Marriott Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.
(Soundbite of music)
YENIGUN: The Winter Music Conference has grown exponentially, now hosting over 70,000 attendees in South Beach, Miami. Dance music, as a genre, had been established over a decade before the Winter Music Conference ever began by a crowd that sought an escape from the pretension of mainstream club life at the time.
Mr. FRANK BROUGHTON (Co-Author, "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life"): I would trace everything back, really, to disco.
YENIGUN: Frank Broughton co-wrote "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life," a book that chronicles the role of the DJ in the 20th century.
Mr. BROUGHTON: Disco is hugely important, because that's really when making records specifically for a club became a popular pursuit, if you like. Before that, there'd been bands making records, obviously, you could dance to, but essentially they had been aiming at radio.
(Soundbite of song, "You're the First, The Last, My Everything")
Mr. BARRY WHITE (Late Singer): (Singing) Don't leave me this way. I can't survive...
YENIGUN: Broughton also says dance music's roots are in the gay black community of New York City.
Mr. BROUGHTON: In the '60s, nightclubs were a lot about the jet set and being glitzy and stepping in front of a velvet rope. And then, especially in New York there was a bit of a crash at the end of the '60s. Vietnam was dragging on, there's the oil crisis and things like this, and disco was a form of escapism. And I think it was also very much tied in with gay liberation. If you pinpoint the moment where New York nightlife really exploded, you could say arguably that it was the 1969 Stonewall Riots.
(Soundbite of chanting)
YENIGUN: Around the corner from the Stonewall Inn, a DJ named Francis Grasso was revolutionizing the role of the DJ, using a technique called beat-matching or mixing, to string songs together into one uninterrupted body of music that played the whole night long. Here's an example. Listen to the way the beats of Young MC's "Bust a Move" and Donna Summers's "Bad Girls" match up to create a smooth transition from one piece to the next.
(Soundbite of mix of "Bust a Move" and "Bad Girls")
YOUNG MC (Rapper): (Singing) A girl starts walking, guys start gawking, sits down next to you and starts talking. Says she wanna dance 'cause she likes to groove, so come on, fatso, and just bust a move.
Unidentified Woman: (Singing) If you want it, you got it, if you want it, baby, you got it...
YENIGUN: Over the years, the music and the scene have changed, and so has the Winter Music Conference, says Frank Broughton.
Mr. BROUGHTON: The Winter Music Conference used to be timed to coincide with the White Party, which is a big gay circuit party. And so, originally, it was much more tied in with that gay underground, which is an essential part of the old school dance music industry. But then, I think it was about five years ago, they retimed it to coincide with spring break, and that totally changed the entire complexion of the event. And some would say not for the best.
YENIGUN: DJ and producer Sharam of the Grammy Award-winning duo Deep Dish doesn't necessarily agree.
SHARAM (DJ, Music Producer): You get an influx of students coming into South Florida for spring break, so it was like a breeding ground to, you know, educate people and inform people about dance music and electronic music.
(Soundbite of song)
Unidentified Man: (Singing) Take my hand, baby girl, let's roll. I can make you feel okay. Just take my hand, both of you, I can make y'all feel okay, okay.
YENIGUN: Sharam has been going to the Winter Music Conference for over 15 years. For up-and-coming DJ Gina Turner, this is the first year that she's presenting herself as a music producer at the event.
Ms. GINA TURNER (DJ, Music Producer): I'm just excited to see what's going to happen in the next couple years with dance music and pop music. Like, for example, I know straight house music producers working very closely with labels like, you know, Atlantic or Interscope. So, it's like hard-core dance meets serious pop. So, it's like, you know, it's cool.
YENIGUN: Though the idea of mainstream dance music contradicts the underground, low-profile nature of its beginnings, maybe it's no coincidence that once again, in a time of war and recession, people just want to dance.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
Chubb Group of Insurance Companies has released a new loss prevention guide meant to help directors and officers prepare for litigation if their firm engages in a merger or acquisition (M&A).
"Merger and acquisition activity is up, and many companies and their directors and officers are being sued as a result of these transactions," Evan Rosenberg, senior vice president and global specialty lines manager for Chubb, said following the release of Director Liability Loss Prevention in Mergers and Acquisitions.
Rosenberg acknowledges that while it is impossible to prevent a lawsuit from being filed, directors may be able to increase their defensibility by following best corporate governance practices.
Recommendations in the 21-page guide, written by Dan A. Bailey, an attorney with Bailey Cavalieri LLC in Columbus, Ohio, include the following:
In Canada, Aon Risk Solutions recently reported the insurance industry could see more merger and acquisition activity in 2013, partly because of continuing low investment returns.
The current low interest rate environment, which looks like it will continue at least in the short term, means insurers must find "better ways to invest and deploy capital," which could lead to more M&A activity this year, states Aon's Canadian Insurance Market Report. That said, the report notes there is still significant competition among insurers.
With last year moderately low level of natural catastrophes, Aon adds that the Canadian market has strong capital levels.

Recipe details
Woodchuck Cookies
The original recipe came from COOKING WITH THE GROUNDHOG, Copyright 1958, Adrian Hospital Auxiliary, Punxsutawney, PA.
I bake them every February 2 on Groundhog Day and they are always a hit. I use an oval tablespoon measuring spoon to shape them. gThese can be messy and sticky so I sometimes chill the dough for half hour minimum. I also use a food processor to chop the nuts and dates.
