Boralex Announces Acquisition Of A 32 MW Wind Power Project In France
MONTREAL, June 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") announces the signature of a share purchase agreement aiming at the acquisition of a 32 MW wind project (the "Project") by its subsidiary Boralex Europe S.A. This Project, located in the Indre department, will consist of 16 Gamesa G90 turbines with a capacity of 2 MW each. This first transaction between Boralex and Gamesa fully satisfies both parties. The total investment for the Project will amount to CA$55 million (€43 million). The acquisition remains subject to financing as well as certain standard closing conditions.
The commissioning of the site is slated for the third quarter of 2013. All the energy produced will be sold to Électricité de France under a 15-year term contract.
"In addition to the 161 MW already in operation, this project will increase the total installed wind power capacity of Boralex in France to 193 MW. This acquisition also allows us to leverage the stockholders' equity that our partner Cube is committed to invest by the end of 2012. We are confident to complete the acquisition and its financing as soon as possible," said Patrick Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boralex.
About Boralex Boralex is a power producer whose core business is dedicated to the development and the operation of renewable energy power stations. Currently, the Corporation operates an asset base with an installed capacity of nearly 500 MW in Canada, the Northeastern United States and France. Boralex is also committed under power development projects, both independently and with Canadian and European partners, to add more than 470 MW of power. With more than 200 employees, Boralex is known for its diversified expertise and in-depth experience in four power generation types — wind, hydroelectric, thermal and solar.

Gramercy Tavern's Must-Eat Lemon Sherbet
How did this review not mention how it looks like a poached egg topped with hollandaise?
How did this review not mention how it looks like a poached egg topped with hollandaise?
Like someone else said, I'm actually charmed by the odd limp McDonald's fry amidst all the crispy ones . . . it's not to be avoided, but slurped up happily. That said, if someone tried to give me a bag of only those, I'd be disappointed.
I just bought a Nature Box subscription for a friend's birthday last month . . . dang, I wish I'd had that 50% off the first box code then!
As smooth as possible and very lemon-forward.
I make a batch, throw 'em in the freezer, and then take two every morning to defrost in the microwave.
Cold cereal and milk when I have time to sit down for breakfast in the morning.
@Dandbuilder It's basically just fresh ricotta (well, technically paneer, since it's made from milk, not whey- just milk + heat + acid until it forms curds, then drained), and then add half-and-half or heavy cream to the desired texture.
Sundays are usually my day to cook stuff for the rest of the week, so I can't be arsed to make something amazing for myself. However, I did make homemade cottage cheese to use up some probably-gonna-expire-soon milk (remarkably easy and so delicious), so it's cottage cheese and tomatoes on toast. And microwave mug cookie for dessert.
I've never had a problem with the microwave . . .
I feel like mine isn't very well-stocked? A few times I've gone there because I've seen that some obscure ingredient I need was found by someone else at their local Trader Joe's . . . and I then spend an embarrassing amount of time scouring the aisles looking in vain.
Total fun for snack foods and trying new stuff, but I just don't do that very often.
Although I will say it's the only place near me that has mochi ice cream, so that's strongly in its favor.
Savory tends to be more appealing, but then again, I also love a good dutch baby pancake with fruit, too, which made me realize I couldn't completely discount the sweet stuff.
Then again, fruity-based breakfast stuff (with yogurt or cottage cheese, fruit cups, etc.) seems in its own category apart from serious sugar bombs like donuts, syrup-drenched french toast and pancakes, and other pastries.
Not eating it feels wasteful to me. But sometimes I'll work on the crust while I'm eating the rest of the slice, so that it's just a bite at the end, rather than a whole big pizza bone staring me down.
Absolutely delicious! Escarole isn't stocked at my local store, so I subbed in some kale with no complaints . . . and it was quite fun doing the meatballs this way with a helper, too. They were fantastically light and flavorful.
I usually do the same in a double boiler, but I need to try Kenji's immersion blender version , because it sounds way faster and easier (and the mayonnaise emulsion by the same method works perfectly for me).
As someone who understands Taco Bell's crappiness and sometimes craves it, I didn't mind the Salisbury steak filling, but the openness of the steak stack was unexpected and terrible . . . it was super-messy.
Taco Bell, you have the grills to seal your stuff shut into neat and tidy bundles. Do it.
I totally know what you mean about "plenty of". I usually get hungry and lip-licking when it's followed with "crusty bread", as in "serve with plenty of crusty bread", because it usually indicates that it's got a delicious sauce or broth perfect for dipping.
I'll also be pretty into stuff described as "buttery" or "tangy", or where one component of a dish is on "a bed" of something else.
As someone who makes absolutely delicious food about 75% of the time and creates dismal failures the other 25%, I tend to go for "safe" when I'm trying to impress others. I personally like the humble panini- more impressive than the basic grilled cheese, eminently customizable, and hey, you really can't go wrong with crispy-buttery-oozy, can you? And there's very little work involved, too. Paired with a fancy salad or soup, and it seems way nicer than it has any right to.
I was thinking of picking up some Curaçao and other fixings just to make a blue drink . ..
If you're describing it to someone to urge them to try it, then no- it's not like pizza at all and shouldn't be described as such. If we're talking more generally, I think it's an apt descriptor- popular, round, communal, can be made to your personal topping desire just like a pizza. They're similar in spirit, but not in the things that matter to someone who's just looking to eat.
I like sliced bananas in my cereal, although I don't have Cheerios all that often any more (when I did though, a light sprinkling of sugar, always). Other fruits always seemed wrong to me- like, the banana-cereal combination uplifts both parties, while sacrificing delicious strawberries to a bowl of cereal would degrade and waste them on the unworthy.
I pack mine tight- and I haven't even noticed any real problems with doing so or even adding a little extra (as you'll often be tempted to do if you're trying to use up waaay too much garden zukes).
I always feel weird about missing the bread from Japan, because you're supposed to miss all the "weird" foods you can't get here in the states, but yeah, I miss the bread- it was so perfect, just pillowy soft and delicious.
I wanted to love it, but the kale was no-go. Even after hanging out all night in the fridge in its olive oil-red wine vinegar dressing, it was still unpleasantly tough (and bitter, although I can appreciate a smidge of bitterness). Chewing it was impossible. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of kale being a part of the sandwich, but it either needs to specify young, tender baby kale (if such exists), heavier salting to wilt it down, clearly specifying removing the ribs, and on the whole, the kale probably could benefit from a good blanching and/or blanch and sautee so that it's actually edible.
Now, having said that, the bean spread was phenomenal. As in, I mournfully chomped down the tough kale in my original sandwich, and then dove headfirst into the bean spread with an extra baguette until it was all gone. For being so simple, it was absolutely delicious, and I really do think the sandwich's goals are admirable- the earthy, substantial spread with fatty salami and crunchy, slightly bitter kale could totally work. It's just that the kale slaw seriously needs re-working.
Whenever I have absolutely no energy, it's bagged salad + feta cheese + dried berries + chopped nuts + raspberry vinaigrette. Toss in tupperware, shake to combine. I can't say it's sophisticated or new or great, but it's my go-to meal and always fills me up nicely and doesn't create dishes to be washed.
I actually agree- I'd never had anything less than a well-done burger until I was in my teens and a family friend served them to us- I remember telling my mom that they were undercooked.
I don't mind a smidge of pink (and certainly medium rare and juicy is preferable to dry and medium well), but basically, I concur.
Maybe try sneaking the veggies into stuff? For example- a broccoli-based sauce for pasta, lots of chopped veggies mixed into the ricotta or cottage-cheese layer of lasagna, root vegetables boiled and mashed with the potatoes, a layer of a sliced, grilled vegetable along with the meat and cheese and whatnot in a sandwich, and so on. Basically making it so that the veggies are basically impossible to separate out from the meal, or that it's one component that kind of gets lost in the rest of the meal.
Is there some unwritten rule about not combining flavors for one's stock or broth? I recently had just a few chicken bones and a few shrimp shells, so I threw them in together to make an impromptu broth for wonton soup. Tastes more than fine, but it still felt wrong . . .
Anybody else combine various bones, or am I right that you ideally oughtn't mix them?
I made a beef heart confit last night and plan on enjoying it tonight, but I've never actually had confit before- is it meant to be served chilled or room temp? Or is hot okay? And if so, how to heat it?
What sort of preparations is the meat usually used in, or is it just eaten as is?
Thanks for the help and any suggestions!
The sage plant is doing abundantly . . . but it usually evokes fall and winter dishes in my mind. Any suggestions on more summery fare that the herb would suit?
How often would you say you mix and match items from fast food joints? Only asking because I was given instructions last night to get sandwiches from one place . . . and Mcdonald's fries. I personally would just suck it up and get everything at one place. What about you?
I was watching a little "Psych" last night and it featured "Fries Quatro Queso Dos Fritos"- to quote the episode, "the ones where they inject potatoes with a four-cheese mixture, fry them three-quarters of the way, pull them out, batter them, fry them again, and serve them with bacon and an ancho-chile sour cream".
It got me thinking to the best fake recipes from TV, movies, or books that you can think of (another one that comes to mind is the "Meatsiah" from "Bob's Burgers"- beef tartare inside a burger medium well inside a burger Wellington).
What's your favorite fictional recipe?
Welp, I finally managed to get my several-times broken mayonnaise to emulsify (with an additional two yolks more than the recipe called for), but it ended up requiring me to work in some hot water- and now it's simply far too thin for a spread, and I don't want to try to thicken it up by adding yet *another* egg yolk.
So what could I do with it? What sort of recipes are there that I could use it in?
I know there are plenty of things that affect meat's (in this question's case, chicken) juiciness and texture, but how much of a difference does the internal temperature make, and by how much?
I was aiming to hit 165 for some roasted birds last night but they were pulled out of the oven at 185 degrees instead, and seemed absolutely fine (yay!).
So was I lucky or would you have to have a bigger difference (like 20+ degrees from the recommended safe internal temperature), or did my brining step save it from drying out?
As seen here: http://www.gilttaste.com/categories/produce
Thoughts? Kind of hard to imagine movement could really be an element of food imagery, but I have to admit, they were very creative and the pictures are just gorgeous!
I want to make sherbet, but it seems like there are so many different recipes, not to mention people defining what makes sherbet . . . I've seen recipes that use buttermilk, that use just milk/cream and sugar (which sounds more like ice cream to me), those that who use gelatin, those that add egg whites, and those that use just sugar and lemon juice, which definitely sounds more like an ice/sorbet to me.
All I want is creamy deliciousness that is just the right consistency and taste between ice cream and tart fruitiness . . . can anybody share a standard or basic recipe for sherbet?
There is a sausage-tossed-with-pasta dish I've had a couple of times at an Italian restaurant, where the green bell peppers in it almost taste like they've been very quickly/lightly pickled- they simply don't have the normal flavor I'd associate with fresh sliced and sauteed bell peppers.
Looking around on the Internet, though, most of the recipes talk about a different kind of pickled pepper- one where the skin has been blistered and charred off and which are pretty soft.
I doubt it's traditional Italian fare, but either way, I'd love to recreate it at home, but I don't know much about pickling- any suggestions on how to pickle bell peppers with their skins on, so that retain their shape and a decent crunchy texture?

Welcome to Swim Jammer Reviews!
So, the swimming world has become the next sport to yield to technological advancements.
A few years ago, swimsuits were the enemy. After all, they created drag for the swimmer and, therefore, most swimmer took a smaller-the-better approach.
But the latest advancements in technology by the major swimwear manufacturers has changed all that. The new suits are not only made of hydro-repellent fabric, but also use compression materials to help keep the swimmer streamline. In fact, the swimsuit's qualities became such a factor that it caused FINA to restrict the body-coverage.
For males, FINA ruled that the suit must not go below the knee or above the waist. This style is now known as a Jammer.

Resident Life at HopkinsThe Hopkins Culture
Being an anesthesiology resident here at Johns Hopkins is not only educationally rich, but is also incredibly rewarding and fun. In fact, one of the most attractive things about our program is that, despite the prestige our department carries, we have a lot of fun at work here. The resident group gets along wonderfully and our calendars are sprinkled with social events each month. Our department values the relationships we have with one another and encourages us to get together outside of work. To that end, we have end-of-block parties each month, funded by the department. These take place at a local pub and are always well-attended by the residents and attendings. The department also hosts an annual Holiday Party and Graduation Ceremony. These are formal events that are enjoyed by the whole department. Our department has over 150 accomplished and well-respected clinical and research faculty. Despite their renown, however, attendings here do not view residents as mere workhorses. Instead, they consider our housestaff to be colleagues, and treat them as such. Many residents are engaged in research pursuits with our faculty and are invited to present their findings at national and international meetings. It's common for a Hopkins graduate to be published many times over before completing their training. We are also privileged to have a responsive and concerned administration in the anesthesiology department. On the last Thursday of every month, we hold QUAC in place of grand rounds. At this event, all Hopkins ACCM residents get together and discuss concerns with the chief residents. At the end of our meeting, the chairman and program director join us so that we can share our concerns with them directly. Questions and concerns never fall on deaf ears here at Hopkins. Our department also enjoys a collaborative relationship with the surgeons with whom we work. In most cases, surgeons are eager to teach our residents about the procedures for which they are providing perioperative care. Anesthesia residents, in turn, are encouraged to share patient safety concerns with the surgical staff whenever they arise. In this way, we work as one team with our surgical colleagues to deliver exceptional care to our patients. A Day In the Life of a Hopkins Resident
Below is the typical schedule of a Hopkins resident. This is representative of an average day in the OR:
The resident will call the attending for the next day's cases the evening before.
6:00-6:30AM: Arrive at the hospital
6:30-7:00AM: Set up OR
7:00-7:30AM: See first patient in holding area
7:30AM: First case start
~9:30AM: Morning break (15 min)
12:00PM: Lunch break (30 min)
~3:00PM: Afternoon break/inpatient preops (~20 min)
5:00-6:00PM: Finish last case, head home*
*End time is variable. The majority of residents on most days leave by 5:00PM. Sometimes residents leave earlier and sometimes residents elect to finish a long-running case. Our staff always attempt to relieve residents in late-running rooms so they can get home to their families, especially if they are on call the next day. Optional parking is provided in one of Hopkins secure parking garages. The cost of parking is significantly subsidized by the department and a minimal amount is taken out in payroll deduction for those who park here. Many Hopkins residents choose to live in downtown Baltimore, though there are many beautiful suburbs that are a short drive from the Hopkins Medical Campus. Popular neighborhoods in the city include Fell's Point, Federal Hill, Mt. Washington, Mount Vernon, and Hampden. Popular suburbs include Ellicott City, Towson, Columbia, Owings Mills, and White Marsh. Owings Mills is particularly popular because there is a Metro station there. The metro has a stop on the Hopkins medical campus, making a car-free commute possible for Owings Mills residents. Our residency is a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities. We have residents from Nigeria, Germany, India, Pakistan, Canada, and many other countries. Our resident group is a mix of different religions, sexual orientations, and ages. There is a relatively even mix between married and unmarried residents. Living In Baltimore
Baltimore offers a unique blend of historic charm, ethnic heritage and urban vitality, serving a community of people of all backgrounds and interests. Johns Hopkins Medicine offers a comprehensive web-based guide for new recruits. You can find it here. Residents get involved on the national level at the annual ASA meeting

The focus of lighting research at USC is in Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs, a semiconductor light source. LEDs today are widely used as indicator lamps in many devices, but are increasingly becoming available for use in al lighting applications. LEDs are significantly more efficient that other forms of light (including incandescent and fluorescent) but is more expensive.
There are two main efforts at USC in LEDS. The first is to improve LEDs that emit at visible wavelengths, using nanoscale patterning to create designs which are both cheaper to make and emit light more efficiently.
The second is focusing on organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). OLEDs have attracted a great deal of attention due to their potential use in lighting as well as in panel display applications. An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. The research is focused on finding mew set of organic materials that can reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of LEDs in a variety of applications.
- Use of nanoscale materials and applications to improve efficiency of lighting.
- Use of organic chemicals in LEDs applications.

Galectin Therapeutics Receives U.S. Patent For Potential Ground-Breaking Treatment For Chronic Liver Disease With Fibrosis (Scarring) And Cirrhosis
Galectin Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GALT), the leading developer of therapeutics that target galectin proteins to treat fibrosis and cancer, today announced that it has received a notice of issuance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for Patent Number 8,236,780 "Galactose-prolonged polysaccharides in a formulation for antifibrotic therapies". The patent covers key methods of derivation and use for the Company's carbohydrate-based galectin inhibitor compound for use in patients with chronic liver disease associated with the development of fibrosis, established liver fibrosis or end-stage scarring, or cirrhosis. Fibrotic disease of the liver is highly prevalent in the population because all chronic liver disease of multiple causes (e.g., viral hepatitis, fatty liver, alcohol) results in fibrosis of the liver and there are no currently approved pharmaceutical therapies.
"The issuance of this patent asserts Galectin Therapeutics as the leader in developing galectin inhibitors for the treatment of liver fibrosis, and its broad coverage allows us protection as we explore the range of liver fibrosis for which our compounds could be efficacious," said Peter G. Traber, MD, President, CEO and CMO of Galectin Therapeutics. "There is a truly vast unmet medical need for liver fibrosis, with the only current treatment option being liver transplantation. Preclinical results of our candidates have shown reversal of fibrosis in rodent models of disease, particularly in non-steatohepatitis, NASH, or fatty liver disease, which will be our first clinical indication for our fibrosis program."
The major claim is for a method of obtaining the galectin inhibitor compound, obtaining a composition for parenteral administration in an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier and administering to a subject having at least one of the following: chronic liver disease associated with the development of fibrosis, established liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. The use covers inhibiting or slowing the progression of fibrosis or the reversal of fibrosis. The lead compound in development for NASH with fibrosis, GR-MD-02, is covered by this patent and it provides opportunities for development of additional compounds in the class.

The American public has soured on the Iraq War. Yet the leadership of both parties is neither promising nor providing a quick or even visible end to this long war.
According to the U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, U.S. forces will be in Iraq for many years to come, even 10 years. He said: "Just about everybody out there recognizes that a situation like this, with the many, many challenges that Iraq is contending with, is not one that's going to be resolved in a year or even two years. In fact, typically, I think historically, counterinsurgency operations have gone at least nine or ten years. The question is, of course, at what level."
The U.S. is involved in the Middle East mainly because that's where the oil is. If there were no oil there, the U.S. would not be there. We are still in Iraq mainly because of its geopolitical relations to the Middle East and Middle Eastern oil. But there is more to it, as I shall suggest.
The concept that Middle Eastern oil is of direct concern to our government, an issue of great national security, is the central idea that has been guiding U.S. policy in the Middle East for decades.
This central idea is fundamentally mistaken. Far from improving national security, U.S. attempts to increase its oil security by interfering in Middle Eastern politics and economics have created greater oil insecurity and fueled political instability.
How is it that the U.S. has pursued counterproductive policies for so long? How is it that, far from altering course, the U.S. has recently become even more entangled?
The background of two world wars
During World War II, President Roosevelt appointed his Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes, as Petroleum Coordinator for Defense. In turn, Ickes established a Petroleum Industry War Council. In 1946, President Truman created the National Petroleum Council as its successor. War and then a continuing wartime mentality after World War II caused oil to become a matter of national security in the minds of American leaders.
Two world wars taught America's leaders the wrong lessons. The wars did not bring peace or a return to a peaceful outlook. They did not return America to its continental concerns. They taught our leaders to view the entire world as crucial to America's well-being and rightfully within America's scope of action. Two wars taught America's leaders to be proactive. Our leaders now sought to control situations before undesired events could occur. They were not again going to wait to respond to events after they had occurred. Even though our leaders may have wanted peace, they prudently (in their eyes) planned for future war. An atmosphere of fear took over. They intended to control what they deemed to be critical events anywhere in the world. America would lead the free world. America would become the world's policeman. America would guarantee world peace. Our leaders saw this as America's responsibility. America's global success in both world wars convinced our leaders that America had the power to accomplish this grand role.
American leaders thought they had found the way to world peace. Its elements were continual preparation for war, readiness to interfere globally, alliances, and the making of occasional war. Wars are directed by states; and states use power. They use markets to accomplish their aims only if they regulate and control them. It was natural for American leaders to emphasize power and control. It was natural for them to emphasize and rely on state-to-state relations and state institutions. It was natural for them to de-emphasize building peace through peaceful exchange and free markets.
But was it natural for America unilaterally to assume the position of world policeman? Wasn't this tantamount to becoming an empire? Could such an effort even succeed? Could any single country have the wisdom to rule the world benevolently? Wouldn't such an effort invariably make mistakes and run aground on the shoals of national interests and situations that it did not understand and could not control? Wouldn't such an effort, even if noble, be subject to its own corruption by interest groups ready to take advantage of it? Could any single country have the resources to control the world? A single guerilla war might require hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground, cost many billions of dollars, and require a decade to fight.
More fundamentally, how could a large-scale state-inspired and state-led endeavor using the means of power bring peace when peace requires the polar opposite, namely, a lack of power relations?
Time passed. America and the world recovered from World War II. A degree of peace and prosperity returned. This was quite natural and spontaneous. Continual warfare is not the human norm. Furthermore, in an age of science and technology, far more progress can be made peacefully than in fighting. Yet the American state and its leaders remained in the grip of wartime thinking, fears, and action. From 1945 to 1991, the Cold War provided the backdrop for innumerable global confrontations and actions. Major, open and long wars occurred in Korea (1950—1953), in Vietnam (1956—1975), in Iraq (1991—present), and in Afghanistan (2001—present). Further U.S. military actions occurred in Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Bosnia, the Persian Gulf, and Kosovo. Direct Western Hemisphere military actions included Grenada, Panama, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
It is evident that these wars were not peace. It is evident that they destroyed lives. It is evident that they were very costly. It is evident that they diminished prosperity. It is evident that these wars caused mounting debt and a debased currency. At the same time, it is not evident that these wars purchased the security of either the world or America. They seemed only to create perpetual war in the name of perpetual peace.
This is the background to Middle East interventions.
Oil price instability
U.S. involvement in the Middle East dates back to the 1927—1932 era. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and subsequently ambassador to Great Britain, Andrew W. Mellon, was a member of the family that controlled Gulf Oil Company (named for the Gulf of Mexico). After reluctantly taking an interest in Middle East oil, Gulf began competing with British oil interests. Mellon played a role in the negotiations. See here.
U.S. oil companies began relations with Saudi Arabia in 1931. Because the world is divided into states, foreign business relations frequently lead to government involvement. The U.S. government became particularly involved with Saudi Arabia, which is the prime U.S. oil interest in the Middle East.
In these early events, there is no hidden conspiracy on the part of the oil industry to gain profits or the government to gain power. Events surely occur in the light of these standard incentives. Steps are also taken and measures adopted in response to external events. Actions in retrospect seem to be guided by fallible men of limited understanding whose long-term vision is clouded. The events seem almost innocent, subject to the usual human motives, noble and base, but free from excessive guile.
The Yom Kippur War (Oct. 6 to 26, 1973) might seem to be a key event, because it led to the Arab Oil Embargo on Oct. 17, 1973 in which OPEC (the oil cartel) raised oil prices and imposed an oil embargo on the U.S. However, the economic effect of the embargo was nil compared to the effects of Nixonian price controls introduced on August 15, 1971 and the complex distorting effects of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act that Nixon signed on November 27, 1973.
The fundamental event that affected oil prices was U.S. inflation and the loss in value of the dollar. Nixon ended the gold standard on August 15, 1971, in reflection of that inflation and allowing it to accelerate even further. Prior to that, OPEC on Dec. 9, 1970 had already decided to post prices that took changes in foreign exchange rates into account. The oil sellers were seeking to maintain their income in real terms as U.S. inflation cut the value of the dollar. On Sept. 22, 1971, "OPEC directs members to negotiate price increases to offset the devaluation of the U.S. dollar." Again, on January 20, 1972, six countries agree "to raise the posted price of crude by 8.49 percent to offset the loss in value of oil concessions attributable to the decline in value of the U.S. dollar." The same considerations led to OPEC price increases in April and June of 1973. On September 15, 1973, further price increases were discussed. See here for a chronology.
One thing leads to another. The U.S. war in Vietnam brought inflation and devaluation of the U.S. dollar. It brought price controls, introducing distortions and instability into the U.S. economy. It led to a stronger OPEC and increases in the price of oil. The U.S. policy of world policeman and empire was having destabilizing consequences that American leaders never envisaged.
Iran and Iraq
Oil shenanigans soured the cordial relations that the U.S. once enjoyed with Iran. When Iran's elected prime minister Mohammed Mossadeq nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, the U.S. responded with CIA operations that led to Mossadeq's imprisonment and the Shah of Iran's dictatorship. By 1963 Ayatollah Khomeini was opposing American-supported measures introduced by the Shah. Sixteen years later, the Shah was deposed and Khomeini established an Islamic Republic in Iran. The U.S. and Iran have been at odds ever since.
The U.S. aided Iraq (and at times Iran) during the Iran-Iraq War (1980—1988), but it tilted heavily toward Iraq. The U.S. knew of Iraq's use of mustard gas and condoned it. On August 18, 2002, the New York Times reported interviews with "senior military officers with direct knowledge of the program." The article quoted one former official of the Defense Intelligence Agency who said: "if Iraq had gone down it would have had a catastrophic effect on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and the whole region might have gone down. That was the backdrop of the policy."
Col. Walter P. Lang, retired, was the senior defense intelligence officer at the time. The Times article reads: "He added that both D.I.A. and C.I.A. officials u2018were desperate to make sure that Iraq did not lose' to Iran. u2018The use of gas on the battlefield by the Iraqis was not a matter of deep strategic concern,' he said. What Mr. Reagan's aides were concerned about, he said, was that Iran not break through to the Fao Peninsula and spread the Islamic revolution to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia."
"Colonel Lang asserted that the Defense Intelligence Agency u2018would have never accepted the use of chemical weapons against civilians, but the use against military objectives was seen as inevitable in the Iraqi struggle for survival.'"
The increased U.S. involvement in world affairs had led to a loss of innocence and a loss of moral compass. The U.S. could not run the world without being coercive and amoral. Realpolitik took over. Habits of power took over. U.S. leaders lost the capacity to think in peaceful terms. They developed the insecurities of those who wield power and do not trust others. They feared that unfriendly Islamic regimes would control the oil. They feared the whole region going down, out of the American orbit. They imagined dire consequences. They have the same fear today, that fear being centered both on Iran and on al-Qaeda, which are in part creatures of their own making.
Why are we still in Iraq, and why are we projected to remain there for a long time? U.S. leaders do not want Middle Eastern countries to be run by Islamic Republics that they deem unfriendly. They fear this. They want them to be run by pliant regimes allied to the U.S. The reason for this is to maintain a degree of American control over Middle Eastern oil. They fear loss of control.
This policy is unnecessary because the oil-producing countries have no other use for oil than to sell it. This policy is counterproductive because its destructive effects and costs far outweigh the benefits. Here is a policy that makes oil less secure and lowers national security while aimed at the opposite effects. Why then does it go on? It goes on because policies of control are what Washington is geared to do ever since learning the wrong lessons of the two world wars that brought Washington into the position of being the number one world power.
The same explanation holds for the U.S. military entry into Iraq in 2003. Any sensible analysis before the event would have shown, and some did, that such an insertion of American forces and such a removal of Saddam Hussein would end badly. Why then did the President and the Congress initiate this war? None of the explanations made at the time or later explains this: not weapons of mass destruction, not the evils of Saddam Hussein's regime, not his mistreatment of his people, not a war on terror, not Saddam Hussein harboring terrorists, not Saddam Hussein posing a threat to his neighbors, not faulty intelligence, and not a campaign to bring democracy to Middle Eastern countries. These explanations are all either superficial, false rationales, deceptions and self-deceptions, or outright lies.
Invading Iraq was an outright blunder by leaders who thought it would be easy to remake the country and feared a series of imagined consequences if they did not. However, their basic policies and their basic rationales were the same as those of prior American leaders. And these policies of proactive control and playing world policeman were and are equally mistaken.
This was a blunder aided and abetted by the unusual influence of ignorant neocon supporters of Israel, by AIPAC, and by defense company lobbyists and toadies in Congress and the Executive. Nor can one overlook the amazing connections of Vice President Cheney to the Halliburton Company and President Bush to the Carlisle Group, both of which are major beneficiaries of the Iraq War.
In the end, the war in Iraq traces to the following important roots: (1) the mistaken and excessive control and power-oriented ideology of fearful American leaders that revolves around national and world security, this ideology having been reinforced by successes in several world wars, and (2) the corresponding mistaken notion that the U.S. must secure its oil supplies by political means such as by maintaining regimes in power that it deems friendly. The U.S. would not be in Iraq if these conditions were not present. Removing them removes the basic rationales for the U.S. presence in Iraq. These are the necessary conditions for the war.
They are not sufficient conditions, however. More was required to produce this war. This involved a variety of interest groups conjoined with the personal interests and war-making blunders of America's powerful figures of state.

Frenchman Franck Cammas sealed victory in the Volvo Ocean Race on Tuesday after his Groupama team made it over the finish line in Galway to build an unassailable lead and complete a great comeback in the nine-month adventure.
Cammas' victory gives France only their second win in the 39-year history of the offshore race following Lionel Pean's triumph on board L'Esprit d'Equipe in 1985-86.
Tens of thousands of people came out to welcome the team - which included one Irish sailor in Damian Foxall - to the final stopover port of a race around the world that began in Alicante in October 2011.
Cammas had looked an unlikely winner at the start of the 39,270-nautical mile marathon after making a poor navigation choice in the first leg from Spain to South Africa and finishing well off the pace set by Spanish boat Telefonica, who went on to win the first three legs.
Cammas clawed back the early advantage by the seventh of nine legs and he left his home port of Lorient on Sunday needing just a top-four finish to guarantee victory - something easily within the grasp of his outstanding team.
"This is an incredible moment for me,'' said Cammas, 39, who was less than a year old when the first race - then known as the Whitbread Round the World Race - was launched in 1973.
"It was always my dream just to participate in this race. The first book I ever read was about the Whitbread.''
Victory for Spanish/New Zealand team Camper in the final leg secured them second spot overall, with US team PUMA finishing third on the day to seal third overall.

Created: 30/05/2012
Having got in from Portugal the day before, I drove up to Tillington Hall Hotel on Wednesday in readiness for the historic Birmingham National where for the first time at a British show, German CACs were to be offered to the German native breeds over the same weekend that British CCs were available at Dortmund.
This innovation had met with mixed reactions when it was first announced many questioning what precedent was being set. Certainly some involved with the numerically weaker breeds had the right to question why it was that some of the shows back home were still suffering from single CC syndrome when in the same breeds two CCs were on offer in Dortmund where resulting entries were no better than received in the UK.
That said, it made for an interesting weekend. At the Tillington president Meriel Hathaway was hard at work ensuring that all hotel bookings were in order and that all the German judges who were being imported arrived safely. Meriel is very much a hands on president who does more in the background than anyone will ever realise at both the hotel and the show. Chairman Martin Wyles supported by wife Vanessa played mein host at the Tillington while at the show unflappable secretary Angela Mitchell and her team had everything under control. The National is well known for its blend of experience and youth on the committee, a far-seeing policy that other major championship show events would do well to emulate.
On Thursday I had a fairly easy day which began when I was called away during lunch to referee the Golden Retrievers, my preference being for the male, Thornywait McShay at Ritzilyn. I then had the gundog group to judge which in view of its evenness warranted a few cuts. My final winner was the Large Munsterlander Sh Ch Ghyllbeck Rapax, which turned out to be a first ever group win for the breed. Rapax won his first CC and BOB under me at Blackpool two years ago when I recall telling his owner/handler/breeder Robert Hargreaves that this young dog was the sort to get noticed in groups as he had a very obvious presence about him. I dont recall having seen Rapax since but understand he has now won ten CCs. He impressed me enormously on the go-around, his handler allowing him to move out on a loose lead, and constructionally he is really a superb dog to go over. So often some breeds get overlooked at group level when all should simply be judged against their own breed Standard on a level playing field. For me he won the group well and was followed by a trio of well known winners in the Pointer, Irish Water Spaniel and English Springer.
Marion Spavin should have judged Fridays working group but had in the meantime made the decision to retire from judging, a decision for which she has been greatly admired and respected. I was honoured to deputise for her.
This proved to be another group that warranted a few cuts but from the start my eye was drawn to a Newfoundland I had never seen before with a handler I had never seen before. Close up he impressed me no end and it was so good to see a correctly balanced, bodied and coated Newfoundland with a beautiful head that had no suggestion of deep stop, loose eyes or hanging lips. On the move he showed true action for the breed, controlled power and great style and so Sandbears Stride n Style coasted through to win the group.
I was interested to hear afterwards that after a run of 12 RCCs he had won three consecutive CC and BOBs, each time getting a group placing. Evidently owner/breeder Suzanne Blake had handled him in the breed but as she was suffering from sciatica husband Mark was called in to show him in the group maybe someone had tipped her off that I like to move dogs ... a lot!
Behind the Newfoundland were two bitches, both of whom won their second CCs under me last year the Rottweiler and Giant Schnauzer and the handsome Malamute male.
Saturday was a marathon as I had three breeds with a total entry approaching 200 dogs so I opted for a sandwich at the ring rather than hold exhibitors up unnecessarily. Even so I didnt finish until groups were being called, by which time I had learnt that resident commentatrix Kim Sillito, who had been suffering badly with a trapped nerve in her back, was unable to get to the show so I was asked to step in.
I began with Tibetan Spaniels where a comfortable winner of BOB was Ch Wellbarn Magic n Mayhem, a very unexaggerated dog of correct shape and size who has a pleasing head and carried himself so well. I was fascinated to hear afterwards that he was one of the dogs stolen from Heather Simper and Liz Scoates kennel last year, but recovered after an exhaustive publicity campaign. Certainly he seemed none the worse for his ordeal and clearly has devoted owners. Reserve went to the post graduate winner, Malia The Next Verse by Starlance, who pushed hard but didnt quite have the finish of the champion.
In bitches I was captivated by a particolour puppy with the highly inappropriate name of Mennimoonz Sleepy Slug. She was anything but sleepy and put on an extrovert performance in the pink of condition. I am sure she has a great future; in the puppy group she had many admirers. Reserve to her was Bruesown Marla, so typical of this long established kennel in that she is so very correct and in no way extreme. I just wished she appeared to enjoy herself more and put a little more into her performance.
Next came Boston Terriers and here another open dog walked off with BOB. It seemed to be a popular win for Yakee This Is It and turned out to be his third CC. He is a great combination of substance and elegance, has a very typical Boston outline and handled himself very well. Apparently he is his owners first and only Boston though she has had a champion Rottweiler in the past. Reserve to him was an exciting youngster who just needs to body up, Glenauld Gianfranco, apparently from the successful Boxer kennels first homebred Boston litter. He was one of the best movers I judged all day and must have a great future.
In the bitch challenge the more I looked at the junior, Coppergold Simply Surreal at Tigrato, the more she grew on me and she ended up winning the CC. Although not full-collared she impressed with her overall correctness. Reserve to her was the open winner, Aprika Reno Wynele, who gave away a little in topline but did everything else right and was so perfectly schooled. Of the puppies Wildax Augustus Brown impressed me greatly and when he fills out his frame he should have an exciting future. He did the breed well gaining fourth in Michael Coads puppy group.
Finally I came to the King Charles Spaniels and I am sure the exhibitors were well and truly fed up with having to wait so long. Here I found what I considered to be a clear BOB winner in the post graduate dog, Baldragon Royal Warwick of Chacombe. A square, cobby, open-marked tricolour with a masculine but typical head, he moved around with great style and is as sound as a pound. When he has a little more bodyweight he will be even more impressive. Reserve to him was the well known Ch Amantra Cheers who seemed to be having something of a bad hair day, but his many breed virtues more than warranted the RCC.
In bitches I loved the junior, an exquisite black and tan also bred by the Amantra kennel, Amantra Queen Of Clubs at Diggle, who is a real toy spaniel with a glorious head. Apparently her owner made up a Sussex Spaniel back in the 80s and has now returned to the ring with King Charles. Reserve to her was Ch Paulian Prudence for Beewye, a very composed tricolour who didnt quite appeal so much in head as the junior but I gather both bitches had travelled together so hopefully they had a pleasant journey home.
Of the puppies Nouveau Reign Check impressed me most and I was intrigued to discover that he is a New Zealand import. I am not sure what breeding lies behind him but it may well be that he brings with him some welcome new blood. A smart moving tricolour, he later did the breed proud by placing third in Ernie Patersons puppy group.
By comparison my Sunday was a walk in the park with just the Good Citizen stakes to judge and the commentary for the final groups and best. In the stakes class there was no getting past the stylish tricolour Basenji bitch, Tokaji American Dreamz of Silverbriar, who looked a picture on the move. It was interesting to see that in the past both of her American imported parents had won the CC and BOB under me.
Robin Searle had the honour of judging BIS at this historic show and I was obviously delighted when he pointed at the Newfoundland, now back with his original handler who stood up to the job well. Reserve was the latest Irish Terrier starlet who is making heads turn.
On Saturday night at the judges dinner Christofer Habig had responded to Vince Hogan, who obviously fancies his chances as a stand-up comedian, by stressing how strongly the German Kennel Club stood behind the 15 high profile breeds and reminded us all how many breeds Britain and Germany created. He gave everyone food for thought, and it was somewhat ironic that during the same month that this massive example of international co-operation took place, the VDH in its official magazine published a damning criticism of the present veterinary checks which was reproduced in a recent DOG WORLD cover story. Sadly the outcome of the KC AGM days later proved that our governing body is not budging on this matter.

Researchers hack GSM mobile calls using $9 handsets
Uses open source firmware to identify real phones
By John E Dunn | Techworld | Published: 12:24, 03 January 2011
Researchers have demonstrated an alarmingly simple technique for eavesdropping on individual GSM mobile calls without the need to use expensive, specialised equipment.
During a session at the Chaos Computer Club Congress (CCC) in Berlin, Karsten Nohl and Sylvain Munaut used cheap Motorola handsets running a replacement firmware based on open source code to intercept data coming from a network base station.
Armed with this, they were able to locate the unique ID for any phone using this base, breaking the encryption keys with a rainbow table lookup.
Related Articles on Techworld
Although far from trivial as hacks go, the new break does lower the bar considerably compared to previous hacks shown by the same reasearchers. In 2009, Nohl published a method for cracking open GSM's A5/1 encryption design using a lookup table in near real time.
What was missing, however, was a way of identifying the call stream for an individual phone in order to apply the lookup to a real call within the clutter of data moving back and forth between a particular base station and the many phones using it. That is what Nohl appears to have worked out in his latest demo.
Another important detail is that Nohl was able to replace the firmware of the handsets with custom software. According to the BBC report on which most stories are being based, this was only possible because the Motorola handsets in question had been reverse engineered after an unspecified leak.
How easy would it be to exploit the new hack? In short, not particularly easy. Creating a custom lookup table similar to Nohl's would take months of work and any eavesdropper would still need to break into the handset in question.
The crack does lower the bar from being a hardware problem to one of software expertise, which will cause some alarm in the GSM engineering community.
Governments and the military won't worry unduly as they will be using encrypted satellite phone systems and GSM phones equipped with extra layers of call encryption to make sensitive calls. Large companies might want to take note, however.

trek in the Park Interview
Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett came by the studio to fill us in on Trek in the Park, live performances of scripts from the original Star Trek TV series present in Cathedral Park each Saturday and Sunday throughout August at 5pm. We talked about the performances, the audiences they have been having, as well as some obsevations about the original TV shows from back in the mid 1960s
The Mad Doctor was helping us out, but we didn't get the recording started until the interview had already started. As this opens we are talking about the look of some of the earliest episodes of the series.

We have two participants, Josh Bertholet and Kathryn Davidson, in the studio to tell us what they have prepared and what they expect they will have to do this weekend to copmplete a film in 48 hours.

Return of The Ukeladies!
We loved them so much when they perfomed for us last Febuary,<http://kboo.fm/node/34030>, that we had to have them come back. In fact we were flooded with calls from listeners, last Monday, wondering when they would come on. I did have another band ready to perform, but the gals brought me an order of french fries, so we moved them right into the studio!

Cuddle Magic live
Cuddle Magic were touring the country this spring, having also played in Denver and Seattle before coming to the Sidedoor last night in SE Portland. While they were in the studio, they mentioned that part of them are from Brooklyn, but the other members are from Philidelphia. When they said they met in college, I had to test them with a musical joke that only actual music students laugh at. A wonderful band, with electronic keyboards, trumpet and a bass clarinet among others instruments.

Documenting the reality of online harassmentPosted by Tom Megginson | 31-01-2014 15:28 | Category: Media
Lindsay Bottos is a 21-year-old Photography student at the Maryland Institute College of Art. As part of her evolving artistic expression, she posts a lot of self-portraits online.
While "selfies" get a little tired, serious self-portraits of the vulnerable artist have been part of our visual vocabulary since the Renaissance, and reached a fascinating peak in the 20th Century.
In the 21st Century, however, personal artistic expression is seen as an invitation to make anonymous personal attacks on the artist, via social media. It's actually a grave threat to the development of our artistic futures, as real critics and public discussion have been shouted out by immature and cruel trolls.
Ms. Bottos has chosen to face the trolls in her own way, by producing a whole series of self-portraits embellished with the worst comments she receives on them via Tumblr.
According to the artist:
I get tons of anonymous messages like this every day and while this isn't unique to women, the content of the messages and the frequency in which I get them are definitely related to my gender. I almost exclusively get them after I post selfies. The authority people feel they have to share their opinion on my appearance is something myself and many other girls online deal with daily.
It's a good way to raise awareness of just how idiotic online "debate" can become. Anyone who creates public content, or who even expresses an honest opinion, online, can surely relate.
You can see the rest of the series, "anonymous," at Ms. Bottos' site.
