Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson pulled off a stunning overhead kick save to deny Lionel Messi a goal in last night's international friendly with Argentina.
After breaking the offside trap and dinking the ball over former Manchester City flop Isaksson, Messi was poised to celebrate - until the Swedish Superman raced back to acrobatically clear the ball off the line.

Cambridge Bancorp Announces Third Quarter Results
Cambridge Bancorp (OTCBB: CATC) today reported unaudited net income of $3,286,000 for the third quarter compared to $3,176,000 for the same quarter in 2010. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased to $0.85 for the third quarter of 2011 versus $0.84 for the same quarter in 2010.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2011, unaudited net income was $9,567,000 versus $10,600,000 for the same period in 2010. Diluted earnings per share were $2.49 for the nine month period versus $2.81 for the same period in 2010. The key factor driving the decrease in net income was the sale of the Bank's Merchant Services portfolio during the second quarter of 2010. The after tax impact on earnings of that sale was $1,591,000 or $0.42 per diluted share. Excluding that sale, unaudited net income of $9,567,000 for the 2011 nine month period compared favorably to $9,009,000 for the same period in 2010.
"Our third quarter performance was solid with a modest increase in earnings over the same period in 2010. While prevailing conditions continue to constrain overall economic growth, the Bank is well positioned to build, preserve and strengthen customer relationships," notes Joseph V. Roller II, the Bank's president and CEO.
Net interest income grew to $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $478,000 (4.6%) over the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ending September 30, 2011, net interest income of $32.5 million compared to $31.4 million for the same period in 2010. The increase of $1,156,000 (3.7%) in net interest income for the nine month period of 2011 versus the same period in 2010 was primarily a function of continued growth in the loan portfolio and a reduction in the cost for deposits.The protracted low interest rate environment continues to put pressure on the Bank's net interest margin. The Bank's net interest margin decreased by 18 basis points to 3.94% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010; and by 29 basis points for the comparable nine month periods.

ANOTHER VIEW: The parks scandal: Why it matters
"Sell the zoo animals," bellows Ron Swanson, the director of Pawnee, Ind.'s (fictional) Department of Parks and Rec in NBC's television show by the same name, when faced with a severe budget deficit. "To cosmetics labs, weird restaurants. I'm just spitballin' here."
Director Swanson has attained cult status among fans of the program, now in its fourth season, in no small part because he plays a buffoonish, penny-pinching bureaucrat who, owing to his strong libertarian tendencies, despises bureaucrats.
Would that we had such problems in our own state government! Instead, our (real) state parks and rec outfit has recently endured an embarrassing scandal involving the discovery of $54 million in assets hidden for years at the same time the department was pleading poverty and warning of park shutdowns.
The story began earlier this summer when investigative reporters at The Sacramento Bee learned about a secret "vacation buyout" program at the California Department of Parks and Recreation, costing the state some $271,000, in which employees were permitted to "sell" their unused vacation time back to the state.
While this discovery may have seemed like small potatoes, it led to more inquiries by The Bee, which in turn revealed that the department had been regularly underreporting its revenue for years to the state Department of Finance. Specifically, the agency was harboring $20.4 million in its Parks and Recreation Fund and $33.5 million in its Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund.
Shortly after the revelation, Ruth Coleman, State Parks director, announced her resignation.
"While I was unaware of the excessive balance in the State Park and Recreation Fund," Coleman stated, "I must accept full responsibility as a director of a department for the veracity of budget documents issued by the department."
In fact, it was Coleman who in May 2011 announced the impending closures of 70 of California's treasured state parks in an effort to conserve roughly $33 million.
"These cuts are unfortunate," said state Resources Secretary John Laird, Coleman's boss, at the time, "but the state's current budget crisis demands that tough decisions be made."
The news came on the heels of the defeat of a 2010 ballot measure, Proposition 21, which would have tacked on an additional vehicle license fee to prevent state parks from closing.
Thankfully, those closures were never consummated, but the department did trim $22 million by reducing services in many parks and laying off employees.
Which makes the discovery of the hidden assets so especially outrageous: State Parks repeatedly bludgeoned everyday Californians into believing the agency was on the verge of collapse and its parks on the verge of shuttering.
"The department has been going around telling people we had to close parks, and it comes to light we had been sitting on this kind of money," noted Ted Jackson, a retired ranger and former State Parks official. "It's devastating for the department and it's devastating for state government. This is the worst violation of the public trust that one could imagine."
Indeed, the scandal raises larger questions about how unelected state bureaucrats manage the money taxpayers entrust them with.

Source: Lakers to keep Jordan Hill
LOS ANGELES -- Jordan Hill, a late-season bloomer for the Los Angeles Lakers last year, is set to sign a deal with the team after a protracted free-agency courtship.
Hill will sign a two-year deal worth "a little less" than $8 million, a league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com on Friday. Hill's decision came down to the Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Hill accepting less money to stay in L.A., according to the source. The contract also includes incentives that can increase his overall compensation.
More on the Lakers
For more news and notes on the Lakers, check out the Land O' Lakers blog from the Kamenetzky brothers. Blog
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak made one of his first calls at the start of free agency on July 1 to Hill's agent, Kevin Bradbury, but for a variety of reasons -- the Lakers' pursuit of Dwight Howard and Hill receiving attention from other teams among them -- it took nearly three weeks to strike a deal.
"Jordan is excited to play with Steve Nash and has the utmost respect for Kobe Bryant," Bradbury told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "With Mitch Kupchak and Mike Brown taking a chance on him last year at the trade deadline, he feels like he has some unfinished business with the Lakers and can't wait to compete for a championship."
Hill, who turns 25 later this month, was acquired by the Lakers from the Houston Rockets for Derek Fisher at the trade deadline in March.
It took the 6-foot-10 forward about a month to break into Brown's rotation as he sat with a sprained MCL in his right knee, but contributed when given an opportunity.
He logged three double-doubles over the course of six games from the second to last game of the regular season through Game 4 of the Lakers' first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers won all three games.
Overall, Hill averaged 4.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in seven regular-season games with the Lakers, increasing those numbers to 4.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in the postseason.
Even though the Lakers are over the luxury tax limit and thus only have the mini mid-level exception (starting at $3 million in the first year) and the veteran's minimum contracts available to them to offer to incoming free agents, they held partial Bird rights to Hill, and could offer him a maximum of $3,632,450 a season for up to five years.
Hill still faces third-degree felony assault charges for an alleged February incident involving his ex-girlfriend when he was still a member of the Rockets.
Hill's attorney, Rusty Hardin Jr., who has worked for big-name athletes such as Roger Clemens and Adrian Peterson in the past, is scheduled to appear in a Houston courtroom on Tuesday to represent Hill. If convicted, Hill faces a sentence of two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, according to the district attorney's office.
Another on-court question remains, of course, as to whether Hill will be the team's primary backup big man behind starters Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum or behind Gasol and Howard, should a deal be completed.
Hill was drafted with the No. 8 pick in 2009 by the New York Knicks, the first of three teams he's played for -- along with the Rockets and Lakers -- in the first three years of his career.

The talk about tuna fish last week put me in the mood for some. So I had some for lunch yesterday.
Do you like tuna fish? Which variety to you buy? How do you prepare it?
|Mon, 01-14-2013 - 3:56pm
Copy and Paste Tracy too!
Cept no dill .. just mayo -
and it is so good with saltine crackers !
I made up two cans the other night and ate it all =).. With crackers !
|Mon, 01-14-2013 - 11:24am
I like tuna in tuna noodle casserole and I like mayo. I need to make some just to try it. I do like egg salad and it can't be much different, can it?
The ad at the top of the page as I post this is for Brownberry Sandwich Thins! lol
|Mon, 01-14-2013 - 7:11am
I love tuna salad either on bread, crackers or on top of shredded lettuce with a tomato. I also love it on top of a ring of pineapple. I had it for lunch one day served on top of a slice of fresh pineapple when I was on vacation in Mexico (Acapulco). It was many, many, many a year ago and I have been hooked on tuna with pineapple since then.
I only get the solid white in water like you Tracy. I find the one packed in oil too - well oily - lol. I mix with mayo and sometimes add dill, sometimes celery but that is about it. As far as the bread goes it does not really matter but I do like the sandwhich thins that are out there. I know we have talked about them before. I try to always have a package of them in the fridge -
|Mon, 01-14-2013 - 6:44am
I have always liked tuna fish sandwiches or tuna on crackers.
I get the solid white packed in water. I goofed once and got some packed in oil. I don't like that at all.
I usually make my tuna with mayonnaise only. I may put one dash of dillweed on it too. I also like celery diced in there for a crunch.
Tuna is one of the few sandwiches that I really, really prefer on white bread. I don't go out of my way to make sure I have white here when I eat it, but if there is white bread in the house and I am making tuna, that's what I eat. Super soft fresh white with tuna.....mmmmm. I also like tuna on rye though.
I like tuna right after I mix it. Otherwise I think it gets too mushy or something so I will never go back and eat anything I have leftover.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Investors In The Jones Group Inc. Are Encouraged To Contact Wolf Haldenstein
The law firm of Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that it is investigating the actions of the Board of Directors and senior management of The Jones Group Inc. ("The Jones Group" or the "Company") (NYSE:JNY) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company to affiliates of Sycamore Partners. Under the terms of the merger agreement, affiliates of Sycamore Partners will acquire The Jones Group for $15.00 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction is valued at approximately $2.2 billion, including net debt. Upon completion of the transaction, The Jones Group will become a privately held company.
The investigation concerns whether The Jones Group Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to consider all available strategic alternatives and conduct a sufficient process. The offer represents a mere 6% premium to the Company's closing stock price on December 19, 2013, and a significant discount to the stock's closing prices over the past few months, including its high of $17.69 on August 5, 2013. At least one analyst assigned a $17.00 per share price target for the Company, prior to the announcement.
Wolf Haldenstein has represented individual and institutional investors for many years, serving as lead counsel in numerous cases in United States federal and state courts. Please visit the Wolf Haldenstein website ( http://www.whafh.com) for more information about the firm. For further information on this matter please click here.
Please contact us if you are a stockholder of The Jones Group securities who purchased shares before December 19, 2013, and wish to discuss this matter. There is no cost to stockholders.Gregory M.

I'm selling most of my homebrewing equipment to help finance moving. I'm not completely abandoning the hobby forever, but my loss is your gain for now. I live In Albuquerque, NM and local pick-up is preferred. .If you REALLY want me to ship a keg or a cylinder, buyer pays shipping.
A custom-built wooden tap box to be placed on top of a chest freezer you store kegs in. (I just drilled holes in the top of mine and ran tubing directly from keg to shank.) It measures 60"Lx13.5""Wx16.75"H and contains 10 Perlick 425SS Forward Seal faucets, full shank assemblies including 1/4" 90-degree stainless steel tailpieces, tap handles, and faucet caps. (The top is on hinges and just swings up. The box connects to the freezer with attached corner-brackets.)
A picture of it attached to my chest freezer
and a close up.
A picture of it being built. (I thought this provided the best view of the shanks and tailpieces.)$600 or best offer *chest freezer not included*
11x Ball Lock Corny Kegs with barbed gas and liquid disconnects for each. I put in new O-rings in the posts and lid when I bought them.
(They do have lids, they were just being cleaned when I took the picture.)SOLD
10lb CO2 cylinder with Primary Dual-Gauge CO2 Regulator with Cage and check valve.SOLD
10lb Oxygen cylinder with 0-8 LPM regulator, tubing, and a .5 Micron Diffusion Stone.SOLD
5x Sankey Kegs
(I bought them when a local place went out of business, but never ended up using them.)
Since my inbox is only limited to 5 messages, emailing me would me much appreciated so I don't miss anyone. My email is everval at gmail dot com
Your wooden tap box is beautiful! Even the wife gushed over it.. I can't afford it, but 5 years from now I'll be trying to replicate it.
Wished you lived a few thousand miles closer to Seattle... your prices are great but the shipping would kill me (well the wife would kill me due to the shipping costs).
UNLESS... are you moving to Seattle? Like gray rainy days 340 days a year?
Would you meet somewhere between phx. And abq?
How much for shipping on one of the snakes to 30082?
you likely don't want to (don't blame you) but on the off chance you have any interest in all in selling just the perlick's, i'd be interested in 4 of them.
I would also be in for 3 perlicks if you decide to separate and the price is right

"Wanted an alternative to the ro-tel/velveeta standard, and this went over very well taken to a friend's house. Everybody loved it. Thanks so much EMTangel"
"We love this - it's a staple at our house, and a nice updated addition to the Thanksgiving table too!"
"I made this exactly according to the directions, and came home in 8 hours to jerky - totally burned and dried out ;-( It seemed to be short on moisture, so maybe it has to be made in a small crockpot - mine is really big."
"The flavor was wonderful - I added a dash each of cloves and nutmeg; however, it was not what I expected. I thought the batter would spread out and fill in ,similar to a cobbler, but it just formed biscuits on top - not very exciting."
"I only used 4 chops, and I replaced the spices with fajiita seasoning (I always use it in place of salt and pepper) and a few cloves of fresh garlic pressed. YUM YUM YUM! Too easy and very tender :-)"
"I needed to add a little liquid to the pan drippings - I think my chops were too lean. Otherwise, these were perfect. Tender and juicy and the gravy was yummy. Thanks Hey Jude!"
"I've made these like three times in a couple of weeks - brownies are my favorite, and these are just like the name says - perfect every time. Thanks so much!"
"We're from the South, so we know our fried fish, but I'd never made it from scratch before. I actually used catfish, because that's what I had available, and it was really really really good - crispy outside and juicy and flavorful inside. Thanks so much, Rita!"
"Started the recipe, then realized I didn't have white vinegar, mustard, or turmeric. Substituted balsamic vinegar and they turned out just fine - really yummy, just not very bright green LOL. Thanks Cathi!"

Christianity broadly consists of individuals who believe in the deity Jesus Christ. Its followers, called Christians, often believe Christ is "the Son" of the Holy Trinity and walked the earth as the incarnate form of God ("the Father"); most Christians believe Christ will return at the end of the world. Islam consists of individuals who believe in Allah, a deity whose teachings its followers—Muslims—believe were recorded, verbatim, by the god's last prophet, Muhammad. Though both Christianity and Islam are Abrahamic religions that are mostly or strictly monotheistic, they differ in many ways, and with well over a billion followers within each faith, even adherents' specific beliefs vary considerably by region and sect/denomination.

Contents: Christianity vs Islam
Early History
In many ways, Christianity and Islam were radical for their times, often preaching tolerance, respect, and equality between different races and classes, despite rigid monotheism. This initial progressive nature resulted in considerable persecution but ultimately did not stop the development, evolution, or expansion of either religion. Ultimately, early Christianity and Islam were spread by exploration, trade, missions, warfare, and colonization.
According to the New Testament, Jesus Christ had a number of followers prior to his execution in Golgotha, but the concept of Christianity as a religion did not truly exist until after his crucifixion, when his most ardent followers, such as the Roman Apostle Paul, began writing and speaking of Christ's reported miracles.
Christianity acquired many of its terms and beliefs from the Hellenistic Judaism and Greco-Roman paganism that were dominant at the times and places of Christianity's earliest development. The Roman Empire, with its common language—Latin—crossing great swaths of land, helped spread Christianity, especially after Emperor Constantine (around 300 CE) converted to the religion, ordered the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and adopted the cross for his army's banners. To learn more about early Christianity, its development, and the spread of the religion, watch the Crash Course video below.
By the time Islam was formed in 622 CE, Roman Catholicism, the most widespread form of Christianity, already had its 69th Pope—Pope Boniface V. In Mecca, in the Arabian Peninsula where Islam began, there was a melting pot of faith that included Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and those who worshipped Mesopotamian gods. It was in this place and time that Muslims believe Muhammad was visited by the angel Gabriel and told to begin writing down the word of the one true god, Allah.
Many in the region saw monotheism as a threat, eventually forcing Muhammad to migrate with his followers from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE in what is known as the Hijra. Most consider this the beginning of Islam as a religion, as the migration brought many new followers to the fledgling faith. In 630 CE, Muhammad and his followers were able to return to Mecca in a near-bloodless conflict.
Murji'ah, an early Islamic philosophy that promoted tolerance of a wide variety of beliefs within Islam (leaving the judgment of Muslims to Allah), likely smoothed the way for early conversions. Within 100 years, Islam had spread rapidly east and west of the Arabian Peninsula. A Crash Course video that covers Islam's development, expansion, and how it split into two main branches can be watched below.

Beliefs and Practices
Beliefs and practices among Christians and Muslims vary greatly across the world and among certain demographics. Within Christianity, Catholics and Protestants often have very different beliefs, and Protestantism itself holds denominations as varied as evangelical fundamentalism and Unitarianism. In Islam, similarly large differences exist between Sunni, Shia, and Sufi Muslims and their beliefs. These differences have run so deep that Catholics and Protestants, Sunnis and Shiites, and Christians and Muslims have sometimes warred against each other over their beliefs.
A few major similarities exist between Christians and Muslims. Both belief systems are monotheistic, encourage or require the practice of daily prayer, and believe in the importance of many of the same figures, though their interpretation of them is often very different. Likewise, certain basic principles are generally supported within both faiths: the Ten Commandments for Christians and the The Five or Seven Pillars of Islam for Muslims. Heaven and Hell, angels, demons, and spirits, are generally accepted by both religions, as is an apocalypse.
Similar to Judaism, Islam tends to have stricter guidelines or rules than Christianity does. In modern Christianity, most hardline rules are found in the Old Testament and more related to Judaism, and many of the rules found in the New Testament are downplayed. For example, Christians may or may not "keep the Sabbath holy" by resting, even though doing so is a commandment, and most freely eat whatever they want, including pork and foods not blessed by religious leaders, something that Muslims and Jews do not do under halal and kosher dietary restrictions.
Two of the biggest differences found among Christian sects/denominations when it comes to scripture have to do with how literally the Bible is interpreted, whether it is considered the inerrant word of God as passed down through various writers or seen as being "inspired" and metaphorical, and whether "good works" or "faith alone" is most important for entry into heaven. Some Christians believe the Bible should be at the foundation of all matters: politics, education, charity, etc. Others believe their faith is personal and private and that Christian scripture really only applies to Christians.
Muslims believe there have been many prophets and messengers sent by Allah throughout time, but that their messages have been corrupted by man. They believe Muhammad was the latest and final prophet and that the Qur'an is the only uncorrupted holy message in the world. The vast majority of Muslims believe the Qur'an is the inerrant word of Allah, as passed down through the Prophet Muhammad, and can and should be part of every aspect in life, even when it comes to matters such as banking, warfare, and politics. The governmental enforcement of Islamic beliefs and practices is known as Sharia law. In a 2012 Pew Research study on Muslim political beliefs, a majority of people in Pakistan, Jordan, and Egypt felt laws should strictly follow the Qur'an, while people in Tunisia, Turkey, and Lebanon were less inclined to want their governments to follow the Qur'an.
Christians and Muslims' sociopolitical views often go hand-in-hand with how literally they interpret the Bible or Qur'an, with the most traditional and fundamentalist of both religions rejecting certain matters of gender equality, same-sex marriage, the theory of evolution, etc.
Belief in an imminent apocalypse that is soon to transpire varies by region among Christians and Muslims, but in many cases both groups do believe it will occur at some point in the future. There are many similarities between their versions of the apocalypse as well, having developed from similar or even the same texts.
Some Muslims believe as Christians do, that Jesus will be the one to return at the end of the world; the difference is that Muslims believe Jesus' return is a sign, not the actual end, and that his purpose is to destroy Christian symbols and convert Christians to the true religion of Islam. Other Muslims, such as the Shia Twelvers, believe Jesus is a minor figure in the apocalypse, if even present, and that a figure known as the Mahdi—Islam's 12th imam who has been hiding since the 9th century—will be the one who returns and helps cleanse the world of evil.
With over 2.1 billion followers, over half of which are Catholic, Christianity is the world's largest religion. Islam, with over 1.5 billion followers, is the world's second largest religion; Sunnis make up 80-90% of Islam's adherents. Because the two religions are the largest in the world, one or the other is generally the dominant faith in nearly every country, with a few exceptions in Asia where Buddhism or no religion is dominant.

So, while CPU Speed is still speculation, apparently it is more than just Memory Speed that is lesser on the Xbox/XBO/XBONE/whatever, compared to the PS4
Base recap:
- PS4 has 50% more GPU Cores and Teraflops of Shader performance than the Xbox (from what I understand, Shader Performance really only matters for particles and stuff like Water/reflections, but GPU cores can be crucial for model complexity)
- PS4 has over 250% the Memory Speed of the Xbox
- PS4 has over 300% the Memory Bandwith of the Xbox (This is likely the most important one as far as game performance)
- Xbox has 32mb of embedded memory for the APU, which will likely help with some of the memory speed difference, but apparently doesn't make up the Memory Bandwith gap?
With that in mind, and the fact that they're using the same Architecture, they both will have the same ease of/difficulty of programming.
I'm not sure if this will just mean that Xbox versions of multiplatform games are going to look like a PC game running at medium settings, and a PS4 version will have them running at high, or they'll both look the same but the PS4 will be locked at 60 fps, and the Xbox 360 will be locked at 30, but it does make the (performance) gap this next gen potentially much more than 360/PS3, and potentially even bigger than Xbox/PS2.
I find this exceedingly saddening, because I really wanted to see them go through a bloody battle on showing why their version was better. Maybe we still will.
Edit: To clarify the intent of this post, as apparently my wording was poor. This has nothing to do with a "winner" of a generation being decided by the hardware. My concern is that I want multiplatform games to be easily made equal in quality on both platforms. As they both have the same ease of coding for the architecture, it is very possible that either the PS4s version of a game will be hampered from what it could be by the XB1 not meeting it's performance, or that XB1's version of a game will be less than stellar because it was optimized for the PS4.
When multiplatform games are equivalent on systems, it is very likely that platform holders will have to strive that much harder to make their unique offerings better, so we end up with better unique games on each system from first and second parties.
Edit: Got moved to the general forum during my above edit. Moving back to Xbox One forum.

In an article published Wednesday evening on their website, McClatchy points out yet another failing in the FBI's Amerithrax investigation of the 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people. The article focuses on the fact that the FBI was able to get a clear genetic fingerprint of a bacterial contaminant that was found in the attack material mailed to the New York Post and to Tom Brokaw (but not to either Senator Daschle or Senator Leahy). This contaminant, Bacillus subtilis, is used in some cases by weapons laboratories as an anthrax simulant, because its behavior in culture and in drying the spores is very similar to Bacillus anthracis but it is easier to handle because it is not pathogenic. I covered the FBI's failure to link this B. subtilis contaminant to Ivins in this diary in February of 2010.

Raymond Davis Crisis Escalates: US-Pak Diplomatic Freeze, Three Americans Can't Leave
|By: Jim White Tuesday February 8, 2011 7:00 am
The crisis sparked by US "consular employee" Raymond Davis shooting and killing two Pakistani citizens in Lahore on January 27 heightened on Monday, when it was revealed that his victims were part of Pakistan's "security establishment", that a second Congressional delegation had intervened with the Prime Minister on Davis' behalf and that the widow of one of the victims had committed suicide. Developments in the case continue at breakneck pace, with the story once again breaking into the Washington Post for Tuesday, where we learn that the US "has suspended all high-level dialogue with Pakistan" over the incident. Dawn fills in more detail on that suspension, noting that Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari had been scheduled to visit Washington next month, but that trip now appears endangered. Further, we learn that Pakistan has added three more consular employees to the exit control list, preventing their departure from Pakistan. The unidentified employees are believed to have been in the car that rushed to Davis' defense after the shooting, hitting and killing a third Pakistani who was on a motorcycle.
Petraeus Can't HIDE from Mullah Mansour Impostor Fiasco
|By: Jim White Tuesday November 23, 2010 7:30 am
Almost a month ago, The Guardian was warning that the Afghanistan "peace talks", which General David Petraeus was claiming to aid by transporting key Taliban figures, had "less than meets the eye". However, on Tuesday, the New York Times revealed that the "key" figure who had been meeting with NATO and Afghan officials was not Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, who is believed to be second in command in the Taliban behind Mullah Omar. In fact, the Washington Post went so far as to point out that the impostor was "a lowly shopkeeper from the Pakistani city of Quetta." This development is a remarkable setback for Petraeus and NATO, especially because there have been so many claims about the famed "biometric database" that has been developed for rapid identification of insurgents. The equipment used in this endeavor has been given the rather unfortunate acronym "HIDE", for Handheld Interagency Detection Equipment. Because of HIDE, it will be very difficult for Petraeus to hide from the failure of his intelligence operatives to determine that "Mansour" was an impostor.
Do German Authorities Believe Ahmad Sidiqi Is Being Tortured at Bagram?
|By: Jim White Tuesday October 5, 2010 8:50 am
In an article published Monday by Der Spiegel, we learn that German authorities remain skeptical regarding information being obtained by US interrogation of Ahmad Sidiqi, a German citizen of Afghan heritage currently held at Bagram Air Base. Since there are accusations that US torture continues at this facility (which appears to be under the control of the Defense Intelligence Agency outside normal detention practices) and since it is known that torture produces notoriously unreliable information, then the question must be asked whether the German skepticism is based on a presumption that Sidiqi is being tortured.

Chiura Obata: Four Paintings, Four Moods
Friday, Jan 17 7:00p
St. Louis Art Museum St Louis, MO
The Museum recently received the gift of Setting Sun of Sacramento Valley, a stunning painting by the Japanese-American artist Chiura Obata (1885–1975). This monumental work from 1922 depicts a glowing sunset scene in California.

By Thomas A. Cook, Rennie Alston and Kelly Raia
Here is the definitive guide to supply chain management in the post-9/11 world, intensively researched and painstakingly written by one of the leading experts in the field.
Before the terrorist attacks that destroyed New York's World Trade Center in 2001, managing the import/export supply chain was "complicated, convoluted, and difficult" enough, as Tom Cook observes. Since then, new security and compliance requirements have come into play. Some of these mandates are still evolving, and some pose special challenges for smaller exporters. To remain competitive, companies of all sizes must understand the changes, anticipate new directions, and keep the costs of compliance and security in balance. This book provides the timely and practical information necessary to meet those goals.

Man charged in camera lens robbery
A West suburban man was arrested and charged in connection with two attempted robberies in Glen Ellyn, police said Wednesday.
Dwayne K. Smith, 22, of the 29W200 block of Lee Road near West Chicago, was charged with attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery, after a search warrant was issued at his home on Tuesday.
Police had been investigating two separate incidents earlier this month after two people reported meeting with a man who wanted to purchase camera lenses advertised on Craigslist, according to a press release issued by the Glen Ellyn Police Department.
On Feb. 5, police said Smith met a seller in front of a restaurant in the 500 block of Roosevelt Road at about 9:45 p.m. The seller told police the potential buyer showed a handgun and tried to take the lens, but the seller was able to pull it away before the man ran away, police said.
On Feb. 6, police said Smith allegedly grabbed a lens and ran while meeting someone at a restaurant in the 300 block of Roosevelt Road at about 8 p.m. When the seller ran after him, the man reportedly said he had a gun and pointed something, according to police.
Glen Ellyn police officers executed a search warrant on Tuesday with help from the DuPage County Sheriff's Office and officers from Glendale Heights, Bensenville, Bloomingdale and West Chicago.
Smith couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Amid 'fiscal cliff' debate, Enzi opposes pledges
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi is among the vast majority of House and Senate Republicans who have signed a pledge not to vote for any tax increases. But he said it's a bad idea for lawmakers to make the commitment, even if they agree with the premise.
