Few car hawkers are as passionate about wine as Van Roberts (Point West Volvo) and his Lola. The restaurant is his vino playground. Roberts is a diligent and tireless wine-taster and list-tweaker, and his roster shows it. Lola's selection of Italian wines rivals that of just about any Italian restaurant in Dallas, and his group of Alsatian wines (more than 30) is unheard of in these parts. German and Austrian bottles, too. Half-bottles and magnums round out size options, and 25 wines are offered by the glass. There is also a collection of Roberts' favorite bottles from around the world. But the best thing about Lola's wine list is the prices, and not just the generous list of "twentysomethings" in the $20-$29 range. Roberts keeps his markups low, which means you can get a bottle of Krug Grand Cuvee for $170 (hard to find on lists for less than $200) or a '97 Diamond Creek "Volcanic Hill" cab for $180. This puts that special-occasion sip within reach with wines that most people will never taste in their lifetimes.

With respect, i think that guy is living in a world of his own. It doesnt do the job better and hardware is just expensive. Infact they dont even make any server hardware anymore.
I'm curious are many educational establishments running Mac Server in preference to Windows or Linux domains?
Talking to an Apple enthusiast today he told me that it surprised him that schools were not running Mac server set ups in preference to Windows Domains. He reckoned that a Mac Server could do the job far better - and cheaper?
With respect, i think that guy is living in a world of his own. It doesnt do the job better and hardware is just expensive. Infact they dont even make any server hardware anymore.
Windows Server and Active Directory are easily the number one choice.
Thanks FN and Michael - that was my thinking as well but in case I'd missed something I had to ask and I'm still curious to discover if any of the Educational establishments have abandoned MS / Linux and gone further down a whole Mac route.
Since the opening of the school we have been Mac based workstations and servers. I changed us over to AD when apple said they were moving out of the enterprise realm. When I seen 10.7 server in beta I was just shocked what they now call a server. RIP Xserve...
After dealing with open directory freezing every other week I'm glad I changed over. Our AD server hasn't been rebooted for anything other then updates. I am looking into resara server though I like where they are heading...
I would like to point out before someone neg reps me. I am not anti mac at all. Infact i have a Macbook Pro for home use.
Even the big Mac houses now (like CanCom etc) are recommending using HP servers and Windows AD to manage Mac environments. Your Mac chap is in cloud cuckoo land..
Oh, and I have a MacBook Pro as well as a 27" iMac..
I have one question, and one question only, how can the Mac Server dictate your windows "GPO" settings, the same as how can your Windows server dictate similar (Workgoup) settings for the macs?
That should be simple enough, we use a mac server here to intergrate with Active Directory, Manage the applications and docks etc.
TBH, there are only a select few wholly Mac based schools in the UK (less than 5 IIRC). When I visited the Essa Academy in Bolton just before Christmas (article soon!) it was very impressive, with only Apple desktops, laptops and handheld devices in use by end users, and it all worked seamlessly. However they used AD for authentication, Exchange for email and SIMs at the back end. Apple has never traditionally gone 'enterprise' and I think they are quite happy to stop at the magic triangle method of AD/Mac integration. They get to sell lots of end user devices at a premium rate whilst all of the really hard technical server side stuff is done by companies whoes bread and butter in this field.
There are solutions out there for Windows - Centrify is one, and we'll be using that to move the Apples we have over the the main network over Summer. Basically adds GPO's etc Mac OS Desktop Management
I stand corrected, my own ignorance has me here, I just prefer to manage like for like on OS's, well most of the time.
I am all up for using free solutions over windows, as some of them seem to achieve this easier and better, FOG vs WDS for example. But I cannot see how you could justify the cost of the mac solution over windows or *nix?
We have a number of Macs here happily integrated with our Windows domain, running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7. Management is with a 10.6 Mini Server. I am loathe to even touch 10.7 server, so management will be a bit trickier as I can't centralise the 'per machine' settings. It's all pretty easy though, and I can't see any advantages in building in more Mac integration. Linux on the other hand, for server roles, is widely used here - exclusively for anything web-based.
We do have two new XServes here that we use, but they're bound to our AD domain along with all the macs.

Many Happy Returns: Remittances and their Impact
By Kristin Johnson, Ph.D.
Millions of immigrants in the U.S. send billions of dollars in remittances to friends and family members in their home countries each year. While it is easy to assume that this represents a huge loss for the U.S. economy, the relationship between remittances and the U.S. economy is much more complex than meets the eye. It's true that remittances are an important source of income for immigrant-sending countries, but remittances are also a huge boost to U.S. exports and the U.S. economy. The following IPC Special Report reveals the economic benefits of remittances to both developing nations and the U.S. economy.

CRF on Facebook
The 5057 is about to start its trip north! Union Pacific has cleared it for movement and we expect them to pick it up in Portola, CA soon. It will soon be returning to Washington for the first time in nearly 35 years! It left Washington in one of the last Milwaukee Road trains out of the state.
The 5057 will be heading to the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad shop in Usk, WA where we will begin the restoration phase of the 5057 Project. Funding is still needed for the restoration, so please donate if you can. Follow the 5057 blog to get the latest news on the move and visit our 5057 web site to learn more about the project.

We're hosting a special work session for the Cascade Rail Foundation collections of Milwaukee Road material at Pacific Northwest Railroad Archives in Burien, WA on Saturday, October 18, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The primary focus of the work session will be organizing and digitizing train lists in our collections. We haven't counted how many there are, but there are definitely hundreds of them. But if that isn't your 'cup of tea', don't worry! We have plenty of other things that you can do. From putting documents in folders and labeling them with a pencil to scanning documents or photos, we have a task for you! Okay, that may not sound like exciting stuff but you get to do it with fellow Milwaukee Road fans and we always seem to discover some interesting historical tidbits of information as we work. Plus, we'll feed you pizza at the end of the day! If you'd like to join us, please RSVP to Paul Krueger at firstname.lastname@example.com or send a message via our contact form on our web site.
More about those train lists…
The Bernsten Collection has three clipboards, each with a stack several inches tall attached to them. One is labeled "Mainline East" and has trainlists from September 1979 through March 19, 1980. Another is labeled "Coast Division Mainline West" and has train lists from July 1979 to March 11, 1980. The third in this collection is labeled "Tacoma South Lines" and has train lists from September 1979 to March 7, 1980. These lists will be a great resource for anyone studying the last months of operations of the Milwaukee Road in Washington.
We also have quite a few train lists from various locations around Washington in the Nighswonger Collection for trains that operated in November 1977 and also have a similar stack from the Freeman Collection for trains that operated in 1979 and 1980.
Here is an example from the Nighswonger Collection (click the image to see a larger version):
Our fourth annual Milwaukee Employees Annual Luncheon will be held at Smokey's BBQ in the Cle Elum depot on Saturday, October 4, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The luncheon menu features barbeque chicken from Smokey's BBQ.
Our intent is to honor former employees of the railroad, recognizing their service on the railroad. We hope to bring fellow co-workers back together and spark candid stories reminiscing the days in the past when they were employed by the railroad.
Come and join us for an enjoyable lunch and time with friends. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. Each former employee may bring one guest.
Please RSVP by September 27 to Paul Krueger at: firstname.lastname@example.com
We need a few volunteers to participate in a work party at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, CA during the week of June 9-14.
This work party will finish preparing the 5057 for movement to the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad shop in Usk, WA this summer. The primary focus will be on the air brake system. The brake beams and hangers for the #3 axle need to be reassembled so the air brake system can be tested and any problems can be resolved. Also, more work needs to be done to secure the locomotive for the trip (welding temporary steel bars across the hood access doors). We will be working hard to get the work done earlier than June 14, but we're allowing extra time in case things don't go as planned.
Volunteer accommodations are available in a sleeping car at the museum at least to June 12.
All participants will be Feather River Rail Society members. If you are not a member, we will ensure you become a member.
Hard hats and safety glasses will be provided or you can bring your own if you have them.
If you're interested in joining this volunteer crew or have questions, please contact Paul Krueger at email@example.com.
An anonymous donor has stepped forward with a matching challenge donation. The donor will match the the next $1,000 dollars we raise with a $500 matching donation. The donor's donation is eligible for an employer matching donation, effectively making this a $1,000 matching donation. In other words, if you donate now the impact of your donation will be doubled!
This offer is good until June 1, so act soon. You can donate using PayPal through our website or by mail.
You can visit our Archive web site to see Milwaukee Road-related documents and photos in our collections. To go to our site, click here or on the image below.
We're having our annual rail yard work party on Saturday, May 3rd from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We'll be focusing on the interpretive trail and also plan to clean-up the area around the substation so we can move the fence closer to the building.
Bring work gloves and your own water bottle (we can provide water). Lunch is on your own; you can brown bag your lunch or have BBQ at Smokey's in the depot.
Please join us if you can! Contact us to let us know you're coming or if you have questions.
We've started a new blog to provide updates about the 5057 Project. You can click on the image below to check it out.
We've also started a new fundraising campaign to raise money for moving the 5057 from Portola, CA to the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad in Usk, WA, where we will have the cosmetic restoration work done on the 5057. You can read all about it on the blog.

The March Milwaukee Road Meet (formerly the "Milwaukee Kent Meet") is a gathering for slides, movies and discussion and socializing. All are welcome! As in the past, this is a free event. Bring your photos, artifacts, models, memorabilia and other items for display.
Cascade Rail Foundation is pleased to support this event again this year by hosting it at Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive (PNRA), where Cascade Rail Foundation is a member organization. It is also the home of the Boeing Employees Model Railroad Club.
This is your chance to get together and see some photos and presentations by some of the renowned Milwaukee Road photographers and historians in the Pacific Northwest.
Saturday, March 29, 2014
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive
- The archive facility does allow for sales of your memorabilia, paper and model railroad items. However, space is limited.
- Parking is also limited. Please park on the street if you can. Be aware that some of the nearby street spaces have a two-hour limit.
- The event is FREE, although a $3 donation applied to the Cascade Rail Foundation Milwaukee Road archives program is suggested by the organizers.
You can download a map with directions here: PNRA_Directions
Some our most stalwart volunteers retired from their work with Cascade Rail Foundation this year. If you've visited the depot in South Cle Elum, you've probably met them.
Lorna and Fulton Toub have been volunteering at depot since 2008. The Toubs had a big impact from the start, receiving our Volunteer of the Year award the first year they were with us. They've been opening the depot to visitors on weekends and helping out behind the scenes with a variety of tasks.
Our President, Bruce Reason, retired late this year. He has been on our Board of Directors since March 2006 and has served as President since January 2008. In addition to having a leadership role at Cascade Rail Foundation, Bruce took on a myriad of tasks around the depot and the rail yard. Among these, he has been opening the depot to visitors when the Toubs have not been available. Like the Toubs, Bruce had an immediate impact on our organization and also received our Volunteer of the Year award the first year he was with us (2006).
The contributions of the Toubs and Bruce will be greatly missed.
Brian Lee is our new President, and Mark Borleske replaces Brian as our Vice President.

Updated: May 3, 2013 12:14PM
There's good news for seniors who own their homes, and want to continue living in them in spite of higher property taxes, utility bills and other costs. Reverse mortgages, which allow seniors to turn their home equity into a tax-free monthly pension check, have become more attractive. Competition means there are better deals and lower rates.
First, a reminder of how reverse mortgages work. Any senior age 62 or older who has a fully paid mortgage, or only a small balance remaining, can obtain a reverse mortgage -- a withdrawal of the equity in their home, on a tax-free basis.
This is a scary concept for the frugal seniors who have spent a lifetime paying down the mortgage, and don't want to be in debt. They worry about the possibility of losing their home. But let me stress that reverse mortgages enable you to remain in control of your property, and permit you to sell at any time. Your home is your home
The loan is only repaid when you sell, move out, or die. And no matter how long you live, you can't be forced out of your home.
Take a deep breath. Here's how it works. The amount you can get depends on your age, interest rates and the current appraised value of your home.
These funds are distributed to you tax-free -- either as a lump sum (for example to pay off a mortgage balance), a line of credit or as lifetime monthly checks -- depending on how you set it up. The older you are, and the lower the interest rate, the more money you are eligible to receive.
Interest accumulates only on the funds you withdraw over your lifetime. You make no payments to the lender.
The money you withdraw is yours to spend for any purpose. Upon sale -- which occurs only if you die or choose to move and sell -- any remaining equity goes to you or your heirs.
You or your heirs can never owe more than the house is worth, no matter how long you live and receive those monthly checks. The bank is protected against the possibility that you live longer than expected by FHA mortgage insurance on most reverse mortgages.
FHA reverse mortgages have county-specific lending limits that cap the amount of equity available. There are also "jumbo" reverse mortgages for those with higher-valued homes.
These jumbo reverse mortgages typically require the borrower to take a lump sum instead of monthly checks, but the fees are generally lower than those on FHA reverse mortgages.
The fees involved in FHA reverse mortgages average 5 percent of the property value, so you should only consider this option if you plan to stay in your home for more than a few years.
Reverse mortgages require independent counseling before they can be finalized, a task frequently handled by AARP and other not-for-profit counselors.
Pat Donohue, a certified senior adviser with First Reverse Financial Services, said seniors are about to get more choices and better options in reverse mortgages.
He noted that Bank of New York recently offered a new, lower rate on the most popular FHA product, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. Until now, the HECM had a monthly adjustable interest rate that was 1.5 percentage points above the one-year Treasury note rate. Starting this month, the BNY product will charge only 1 percent above the T-note rate.
That half-percentage-point cut could add anywhere from $3,000 to $14,000 to the amount that could be withdrawn.
Other lenders, including Financial Freedom, are announcing new products to compete with Bank of New York.Online calculator
To see how much money you might receive in a lifetime monthly check from an FHA reverse mortgage, go to www.ReverseMortga ge.org, and use the online calculator.
Don't let fear or complexity deter you from considering a reverse mortgage. For seniors who love their homes, this is the reward for a lifetime of mortgage payments. And that's the Savage Truth.

Use Your Difference to Make a Difference

Can you imagine a world where the youth have a voice and actually do something about solving the world's problems and bridge gaps as educators, diplomats and travel enthusiasts? That's a world I imagine everyday and that's what gave birth to my mission statement which is "use your difference to make a difference." I don't subscribe to the status quo that says one should go about things in a conventional manner or that there's only one path to success.
You see I grew up in four different continents and five different countries and it became evident to me that the world is so much bigger than we realize and that there is so much learning that people need to do. I also found that a lot of people are afraid of change or what they don't know and thus subscribe to the archaic mindset that states that one way of thinking is the ONLY and BEST way to live.
To disrupt this mindset I launched www.uydmag.com, a multi media platform that features all sorts of content every day showing people all over the world using their difference to make a difference or a unique perspective about what culture is like indifferent parts of the world. It's all about thinking differently, it's all about understanding what makes us different and applying that for good.
It's all about using our DIFFERENCE to make a DIFFERENCE.

Emily Lundberg. If that name seems familiar it is because she used to be an intern here at Volunteen Nation. Now she is creating her own website, Contemporary Success.
Emily has grown up working hard for everything she has. This includes three internships under belt, top notch grades, and the upcoming website. Through all of it, she couldn't seem to find a resource that's focus was to help young adults. When asking how to build/make a resume, what the difference is between business casual and business professional dress is, or which career path she wanted to look into, all of the resources were for people older and who already had experience. No one talked about how to start leaving a foot print on career world. Thus, Contemporary Success was born.
"Contemporary Success is a career development website that is meant as both a voice and a resource for young professionals of all fields and interests," Emily said. "It is for high school students and young adults who are just figuring out what career path is right for them and how to accomplish their goals."
Emily believes that being able to help young adults is specifically important as they are our country's future. She also believes that it is important for people to volunteer and intern as these give young adults the experience they need to start creating their resumes.
"There are so many options out there that everyone is able to find something that works for them," Emily said. "My advice for those who think that there are no opportunities to do what their interested in is to just approach businesses and organizations and ask. You'd be surprised what doors may open up."
Some open doors to look into, include the doors at Contemporary Success. The website is there as a platform for young adults to not only use as a resource, but to also voice their needs and opinions. There are two main ways to do this. The first is to go through Contemporary Success's writing internship. They are working on a program to let young writers get published so that they can express the problems and solutions they have had in their experience. There is also the fact that any young adult who has a great internship idea for Contemporary Success or the website can email Emily to help create a personalized internship. All of this adds to the already prevalent young adult voice.
As for the future of Contemporary Success it is always evolving.
"My hope is that we'll publish enough content to truly become a one-stop career development and professional site for young adults," Emily said. "I'd also like Contemporary Success to serve as a platform for young entrepreneurs, to develop more interactive programs and internships that will add deeper value to our audience which I'd like to grow considerably, and to highlight more the achievements made by young adults."
Contemporary Success will start checking off some of these goals by creating an online web series highlighting entrepreneurship endeavors started by young adults.
Taking Steps Toward College Success

I am one of our VolunTEEN Nation Ambassadors from Arizona. With the Hispanic Business Students Association out of Arizona State University and The Be A Leader Foundation, we held The 6th Annual "Taking Steps Towards College Success" Walk-A-Thon for over 3,000 high school and middle school students.
The Hispanic Business Students Association's mission is to prepare students to become future leaders, academically, personally, and professionally. They are committed to develop its members by providing leadership development and educational activities.
The focus of the Be A Leader Foundation is to provide a positive learning environment and implement college-focused programs for students from middle school to high school. Being that Arizona has struggled with higher education, the organization strives to break that barrier. For every freshman in high school in Arizona, a little over two-thirds of them will graduate high school. More surprisingly, 19 will enter a four-year college within one year; and only nine will obtain a bachelor's degree within six years.
The 6th Annual "Taking Steps Towards College Success" Walk-A-Thon exposes students to many scholarship, after-school, and college programs. There are seven Be A Leader programs for students: Be A Leader Institute Elementary (BLIE), Valedictorian Club (V-Club), Youth Leadership Conference (YLC), Be A Leader Institute High School (BLIH), Be A Leader Clubs (Elementary & High School), Be A Leader Senior Boot Camp, and Be A Leader Institute College (BLIC). After students explore all the programs in the park, they all walk to The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) fair, where they are exposed to over 220 universities from around the nation.

The Servie Challenge

The popularity of the selfie is phenominal. Selfies are the most well recognized trend among social media users, but they paint an incomplete picture of their subjects.
The Servie Challenge launched by VolunTEEN Nation Ambassador Kate Parchman is designed to allow social media users to show a more complete picture of themselves. Servies are images of individuals/groups engaging in acts of service to others and posted on social media sites with the #serviechallenge.
Servies do the following:
1. Serives show a more complete picture of an individual, going beyond physical appearance to highlight interests, talents, character and dedication.
2. Servies share ideas for service opportunities. Many willing individuals wish to serve but do not know what groups or organizations are in need of assistance. Also, first time volunteers may wish to share the experience with a friend, and servies can help volunteers to connect and coordinate efforts, leading to an increase in volunteer support for the organization and a more fulfilling experience for the volunteers.
3. Servies raise awareness, highlighting issues, needs and solutions to problems in our local communities and around the world.
4. Servies inspire others and impact communities: Servies show needs being met, lives being improved and communities changing for the better.
5. The Servie Challenge is a great way to show, share and increase your impact on the world. What you need to do for the Servie Challenge is post servies to your profiles and then challenge other social media users to do the same. Servies can change the world, but you have to take the first step.
Post your servies with #serviechallenge.
Teens Taking Action

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." –Margaret Mead. This thought really struck home for two sophomores who had a passion for volunteering in their community. In the spring of 2013, Morgan and Rachael started a service club called Teens Taking Action at their high school in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The club is focused on counteracting poverty in the Twin Cities through volunteer work at local organizations.
They wanted to give students an opportunity to volunteer more regularly in order to spread volunteerism in their community. Members of the service club choose to volunteer at organizations and causes they are passionate about. The service club as four main issues they take action against: hunger, homelessness, lack of necessities and aiding in healthy community relations, in order to counteract poverty.
The club meets every month during the school year and strives to complete at least two volunteering projects each month. What began as a small group of 15 friends has grown to more than 50 members. The club even completes volunteer projects during the summer. Some examples of organizations they have volunteered with include Second Harvest Heartland, HandsOn Twin Cities, The Sandwich Project, ICA Food Shelf, Salvation Army, and Caring for Cambodia, Cheerful Givers, The Humane Society, Operation Gratitude and Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly.
However, the club's biggest accomplishment was receiving a grant from the organization Katie's Krops to start their very own vegetable garden, where all the vegetables harvested would be donated to their local ICA food shelf. Over 170 applicants applied for Katie's Krops 2014 Grant Cycle and Teens Taking Action was one of the 31 grantees to receive funding. Teens Taking Action also received donations of seeds and plants from a local greenhouse and their city also donated a 20 X 20 plot for them to grow on. They began planting in mid May and the garden has been flourishing since. Each week this summer the garden switches hands from various members. Two to three members will take care of the garden for a week. Responsibilities for managing the garden include weeding, watering, and if there is produce, delivering it to ICA Food Shelf.
Morgan and Rachael, the founders of Teens Taking Action, are so thankful for the wonderful support from their members, as well as the support from their club advisor, community, and Katie's Krops.

The Amerks haven't been winning much recently. Four losses over their last six games but defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is bringing back his winning ways.
The 19 year old returned to the team this morning, a week after scoring the gold medal goal for Finland in the World Junior Championships.
Ristolinen netted the overtime game winner in the finals against Sweden to capture that gold for his home country Finland.
When asked by reporters why it took so long to get back to Rochester, the Sabres first round pick said he was partying in Finland.
Now Ristolinen has returned in time for the Amerks three game western road trip that begins on Wednesday.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The deadline for filing applications for Wisconsin's spring turkey and bear hunts is fast approaching.
Hunters have until Dec. 10 to submit their applications for both hunts.
The Department of Natural Resources will hold choose turkey permit winners in a drawing in late December or early January. Any leftover permits will go on sale in late March. The DNR has scheduled a youth turkey hunt on April 12 and 13. The regular season will begin April 16.
The DNR awards bear permits through a drawing that will take place after the Natural Resources Board sets kill limits in January. Hunters can apply for a permit or a preference point to improve their chances in future drawings.
The bear season begins Sept. 3.

Southern California is home to lots of car shows, but few are as exciting as the one taking place in Long Beachs Belmont Shore neighborhood. The 19th-annual event will include approximately 700 pre-1975 vehicles displayed on trendy Second Street. Other shows have rigid themes and regulations, but the Belmont Shore gathering offers visitors a wide variety of rides, ranging from slick Cadillacs, hot rods, rat rods, muscle cars and European sports cars to classic low-rider Impalas, historic firetrucks, daddys fun-fun-fun T-Bird and local cancer fund-raiser Team Spirits soon-to-be-demolished Lincoln Continental. If the thought of a bunch of parked cars doesnt sound like a good time, the show draws nearly 50,000 people each year, many of whom are as eye-catching as the vehicles themselves. Proceeds go to area charities and admission is free, so there isnt really a good excuse to miss it.

text: Islamists Call for Sharia Law in Egypt's Constitution Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 9 Nov 2012 post a comment The Muslim Brotherhood leadership in Egypt is calling on Egyptians to rally for Sharia law on Friday. According to reports, those affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood are not taking an official position, but they are calling on all Egyptians to take part in Friday's demonstrations demanding Islamic law be incorporated into Egypt's coming constitution. Muslim Brotherhood members "in the north-eastern Sharqiya government" held a rally Tuesday night in which they called on supporters to turn out Friday. They want the draft of Egypt's new constitution to be written in such a way so that the "precepts" of Islamic law become the "only source" of Egyptian legislation. Thus far, the writing of the constitution has been delayed by tensions between the Islamists and more liberal members of Egypt's government. And to date, liberal forces have been able to thwart attempts to enshrine Sharia law into Egyptian law. Islamists hope Friday changes that.

A Week of Surprises in Iraq
I like to pride myself on not being surprised. This week, as usual, pride goeth before a fall.
It is unlikely, but possible, to connect some dots this week in a peculiar way. First, non-Kurdish Iraq is falling to Islamist militants, and a particularly nasty strain of Islamist militants who once caused even other Islamist militants to turn away with disgust at their aims and methods; second, the U.S. is apparently considering airstrikes in support of Iraqi forces, however distant such an option may be in the president's own mind; and third, Iranian ground forces are already in Iraq assisting Iraqi forces, and more Iranian troops may be on the way.
And here is the latest surprise: As an indication of just how far American policy has departed from the previously unthinkable, we are at a point where it is imaginable (unlikely, but "imaginable" is the operative point) where the U.S. Air Force and Navy could conduct airstrikes in direct or indirect support of Iranian forces in Iraq. I, for one, did not see this day coming.
Some things, I can foresee. I will not claim that Pope Francis's prayer meeting with Peres and Abbas in the Vatican gardens resulted in the Israeli election of a new president who favors a "one-state solution" (albeit a proposed state with strong minority rights), but I did foresee that immediate peace was unlikely coming out of that meeting, which itself grew from the sense that prayer was all that was left after Secretary Kerry's strange efforts to jam a two-state solution down the parties' throats. I did not foresee that Israel would oppose the United States and support China's effort to de-legitimize bilateral security arrangements in Asia, but it was not hard to see that playing fast and loose with Israeli security, or survival, might have consequences for how Israel views the U.S. as a partner. I did not foresee the date of Putin's invasion of Crimea, but again, it was not hard to see that he would not sit still for the ouster of his client in Kiev during his Olympics, that everything his foreign minister would subsequently say would be a lie and would be believed eagerly (or at least given public credence) by western officials from Berlin though London to #Washington (at least until his minions started commenting on the State Department spokeswoman's wardrobe -- there are still redlines), and that Putin's plan to foment chaos would continue indefinitely or until his restoration of Russia's rightful (by his lights) sphere of influence is complete.
To help me avoid further surprises, I hope Shadow Government's best minds will try to answer this: What will the Obama administration give the Iranian mullahs in the nuclear negotiations in order to get this Iraq mess off the front pages and ensure that "ending" the Iraq war continues to be one of the president's most cherished legacy items? And is there a way forward for the U.S. that would, surprisingly, make the current moment seem less like a blend of 1914 and 1938?

A new Sex and the City movie is rumoured to be in the works, with three of the leading ladies expressing an interest (although Cynthia 'it's fine to let it go' Nixon might still need persuasion.) Fancy a flutter? Here are our odds on what could happen – from surrogacy to vampires.
1/4 Carrie and Big have a baby via a surrogate
We'd stake our biggest bucks (ie our fully-stamped Nandos reward card) on this little earner. The evidence? Well surely the 'one story left to tell', as hinted by Sarah Jessica Parker, involves the pitter patter of tiny Manolo-clad feet. Natural birth and adoption have already been covered by the other girls, so our money (chicken) is on the surrogacy option – especially as this worked so well in real life for SJP.
1/1 Big cheats
Well, after Carrie put on the kohl eyeliner that inexplicably made her a she-devil and go loopy for Aiden in the second film, our favourite businessman (do we ever actually know what he does for a living?) might be justified in straying from the marriage in film three. For bonus bets, we think ex-wife Natasha might be the most likely temptress…or even Samantha, as she has always enjoyed a little flirt with him over a cigar. If we were Carrie, we'd sleep with one (non-kohled) eye open.
4/1 Aleksandr Petrovsky returns…for blood
We've always suspected this guy was a vampire – the thick eastern European accent; the all-night dates; the pasty complexion - and it would lend a Twilight-esque touch to NYC.
7/1 Samantha dates Bieber
SATC never shied from a pop-tastic cameo (remember Geri Halliwell in a bikini?) and based on his frankly disturbing attempt at coming on to Cheryl Cole on X Factor back in the day, it's safe to say Biebs feels comfortable approaching an older woman. It would make us sad inside though.
10/1 Steve turns bad-ass
The button-nosed bartender gets another shot at whatever that basketball money-winning thing was, and actually does it! He then goes crazy with power and blows up the Brooklyn Bridge, leaving Miranda to find comfort in the dependable, faintly repulsive arms of Skipper (remember him?)
20/1 Charlotte hearts Samantha
Standing in the rain, tears streaming down her cheeks, Charlotte confesses her undying love for Samantha. The whole film is one, long monologue about her repressed feelings, and involves no fabulous outfit changes whatsoever.

Two multi-million dollar road projects were completed this week in central Wisconsin.
WIS 54 in Waupaca County (Portage County Line to Foxfire Drive) was reopened Thursday. The $2.2 million resurfacing project began in mid-August 2012.
And WIS 66 between Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point reopen Friday. The $5.1 million project began in May 2012 and has been closed and detoured to through traffic since June 11.The closure was necessary for crews to replace four bridges located along the highway. As part of the improvements, crews also installed rumble strips along the highway's center line between the Wood/Portage County line and Portage County HH. Rumble strips were installed along the center line and the shoulders between WIS 34 to the Wood/Portage County line. The rumble strips are designed to reduce run-off-the-road crashes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Melvin Ejim is no Kevin Garnett, but he may be a superior pregame award recipient.Ejim was presented with the Big 12 Player of the Year trophy before Iowa State's 91-85 win over Kansas State in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament Thursday afternoon.The senior forward scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, his sixth 20-10 game of the year."He hit some big free throws for us again and really helped us do the job on the glass," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "We felt if we won the battle on the boards that we would have a very good chance of winning this game. Melvin certainly helps us in that department."The Cyclones fared better than Hoiberg's Minnesota Timberwolves did after Garnett accepted the NBA MVP trophy before the first game of the 2004 Western Conference Finals. Garnett also had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, but in a losing effort as the Timberwolves fell to the Lakers 97-88."We went out there and laid an egg because of the emotion," Hoiberg recalled. "I was a little concerned about that and tried to downplay it as much as I could today."Whatever Hoiberg did, it worked. Self praises CowboysDespite their 77-70 overtime loss to Kansas in the Big 12 quarterfinals Thursday, Oklahoma State is still likely to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Cowboys could be one of those pesky No. 8 or 9 seeds that gives a No. 1 seed trouble in its second game of the NCAA Tournament.Kansas coach Bill Self believes the seed the Cowboys are given won't reflect how well they are playing now. "I've had teams in the past that were a three-seed that were probably playing like a six- or seven-seed, and I've had teams that were a seven-seed playing like a two or three seed," Self said after his team's victory Thursday. "Oklahoma State, whatever they're seeded, they're playing a lot better than that."Before falling to the Jayhawks, Oklahoma State had won five of its past six games following a crippling seven-game losing streak.They nearly knocked off Kansas, the top seed in this week's Big 12 tournament, but didn't score in the final four minutes of the game and will await their NCAA Tournament fate."The problem they have, from my vantage point, they're not quite as deep as maybe some other teams," Self said. "But if they can stay out of foul trouble, they can play with anybody."Briefly• Tubby Smith wrapped up the first losing season of his 23-year coaching career with Texas Tech's 80-62 loss to Oklahoma State on Wednesday. • Iowa State freshman point guard Monte Morris, already on pace to break the NCAA single-season record for assist-to-turnover ratio (3.96), had 10 assists and just one turnover in the Cyclones' 91-85 victory over Kansas State on Thursday. He's averaging 5.7 assists for every turnover he's committed this year.• Former Longhorns guard Sterling Gibbs, who transferred to Seton Hall after his freshman season in 2012, hit a buzzer-beating jumper to help the Pirates upset No. 3 Villanova 64-63 in the Big East quarterfinals Thursday.

text: 'Kill the Jews': European Ministers Denounce Anti-Semitic Demonstrations and Attacks Print article Send a Tip by Abe Katsman 23 Jul 2014 post a comment In response to rising anti-Semitic violence across Europe, the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy harshly condemned pro-Palestinian demonstrators, vowing to make use of "all legal measures" to maintain public order, reports the Jerusalem Post. In a joint statement from Brussels, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Laurent Fabius and Federica Mogherini denounced "the ugly anti-Semitic statements, demonstrations and attacks of the last few days," declaring that "nothing, including the dramatic military confrontation in Gaza, justifies such actions in Europe." "At a time when 'Death to the Jews' chants can be heard at public gatherings in European capitals, allegedly in protests against Israel, the bold, timely and unambiguous words of the three foreign ministers send a strong message that should be embraced by all EU member states," said David Harris, the executive director of the American Jewish Committee. Primarily Arab and Muslim demonstrators have taken to the streets across the continent in protest of Israel's military incursion into the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip. Throngs have attacked synagogues and chanted pejorative slogans about Jews and Israel. On Sunday in the Parisian suburb of Sarcelles, an Arab mob burned cars, attacked Jewish owned shops and clashed with members of the Jewish community outside of a synagogue, which the rioters attempted to set aflame. That incident was one of several incidents of attacks against Jewish places of worship in the greater Paris area, including the siege of a downtown synagogue full of Jews just over a week ago. Demonstrators were overheard screaming "Jew, Jew, cowardly pig, come on out and fight" at a recent Berlin protest and protesters in Antwerp were reported to have marched while chanting "kill the Jews." There have been two separate reported incidents of men being beaten for flying Israeli flags in Sweden, according to local media. Jewish organizations have been pushing for tougher action on the issue of anti-Semitism, especially since the murder of four people at a Jewish museum in Brussels in May. Jewish organizations have rejected the pretense that the anti-Semitic acts are merely expressions of protest against Israeli military action. "The pretence that these attacks are not anti-Semitic, but merely a reaction to current events in the Middle East, is cynical and decidedly false. When a Paris mob besieges and throws bricks at a synagogue with 200 congregants inside, it is anti-Semitism. When a synagogue north of Paris is firebombed on Friday night and sustains damage, it is anti-Semitism. When a 17-year-old girl -- referred to as a 'dirty Jewess' -- is assaulted on a Paris street by having her face pepper-sprayed, it is anti-Semitism," said American communal group Agudath Israel.
