Predictably enough, the symposium on "Why Criticism Matters" in the January 2 New York Times Book Review primarily if unwittingly illustrates just about everything that's wrong with literary criticism as practiced in most general-interest print publications. Its very appearance indirectly reveals what's wrong with "criticism" at the New York Times Book Review: Each of the participants is a literary critic, and each focuses on the function of criticism in relation to literature, but the Book Review offers very little criticism of fiction and poetry beyond the most heralded current writers or the hottest new releases. Many of the "major" reviews of fiction (there are no major reviews of poetry) discuss the political and sociological rather than the literary implications of the book under review, which is of a piece with the general orientation of the New York Times Book Review to treat all books as "news" and as part of a "conversation" about "culture." The NYTBR is concerned with "ideas" not with literature, which is a defensible approach to reviewing books in general, but if Sam Tanenhaus is really interested in the function of literary criticism at the present time, he should devote more space to the practice of it in the publication he edits rather than pretending that criticism matters by publishing this symposium.
One of the critics featured, Adam Kirsch, conveniently enough more or less articulates the reigning assumptions about criticism (more specifically book reviewing) exemplified by the NYTBR. According to Kirsch, "Novelists interpret experience through the medium of plot and character, poets through the medium of rhythm and metaphor, and critics through the medium of other texts." A "serious critic is one who says something true about life and the world." The critic doesn't examine, explicate, interpret, or appreciate the work of novelists or poets, he/she competes with the novelist and critic in interpreting "experience." This justifies, even requires, that the critic roam beyond mere literature "because thinking about literature eventually means thinking about society and politics." Indeed, "the study of literature gives you the best vantage point from which to understand an entire society."
Putting aside whether this last claim is actually true (I think it most certainly is not--social science is the proper medium for understanding "society"), that Adam Kirsch believes it explains not just why he is welcome at the New York Times Book Review but also why he has become such a ubiquitous presence as a reviewer at many other periodicals that fancy themselves as providing through book reviews a "vantage point from which to understand an entire society." Perhaps some readers find Adam Kirsch's "thinking about society" enlightening, but I've read enough of his reviews to conclude he has nothing more interesting to say about the subject than any other cultural pundit recycling received wisdom and the usual banalities. This is how I feel about too many "literary" critics given prominent space in too many publications featuring book reviews. The New York Times Book Review is frequently criticized for not including enough reviews of translated fiction (as they should be), but I think a plausible explanation for this phenomenon is that there aren't as many critics available and prepared to bloviate about the sociocultural affairs in non-English speaking countries as there are those willing to pronounce on the "society and politics" of the United States or Great Britain.
Even more extreme in its elevation of the book reviewer to a lofty status is Sam Anderson's contribution. Anderson believes that the increasing influence of the Internet means that critics will need to jazz up their prose styles, apparently in order to reach the attention-challenged readers of online book reviews. I can't disagree that "The contemporary critic has to be an evangelist. . .for literary experience itself," but I don't see why that has to involve condescension toward the reader's capacity to attend to serious criticism focused on the literary experience. I also can't disagree that "the critic needs, above all else, to write well," but that is precisely the nub of the issue: what makes literary criticism well-written? Criticism may indeed be "words about words," but this does not mean that what emerges from the critical exchange with a text is "a third, hybrid, ultratext." Anderson vastly overestimates the number of "great writers [who] have done their best work" as critics. I can think of only a few: Samuel Johnson, Matthew Arnold, perhaps William Gass. If he means that many critics have been "great writers," as opposed to astute critics whose insights are still valid, I also think he's wrong. It's precisely when the critic becomes more preoccupied with the "writing," with producing an "ultratext," than with accurate description and illuminating analysis that criticism stops performing its useful service to literature.
Criticism is not in a contest with works of poetry and prose for readers' interest. It requires, in fact, an initial humility before those "words" that are the occasion of criticism in the first place. Only then can judgment, positive or negative, be rooted in the effort to understand those words.
Anderson tells us that "My favorite work is always that which allows itself to imaginatively intermingle with its source text — to somehow match or channel or negate the energy of the text that inspired it. It can be imitative, competitive or collaborative; it can mimic or mock or scramble or counterbalance the tone of the source. It can be subtle or overt. But it will always have this doubled-over, creative quality: one memorable writer responding, in memorable writing, to another." God help us. Such "imaginative interminglings" make criticism into just a faint shudder in the death throes of "literary journalism" (including Sam Anderson's own--especially including Sam Anderson's own.)
Elif Batuman articulates a more pretentious version of the critic-centric theory of criticism. Batuman advances a view of the critic as interpretive sage, able to take a synoptic perspective on texts as manifestations of larger forces. She first posits Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams as a model of this sort activity, although she disclaims the idea that novels work like dreams, albeit this seems to be because Freudian-inspired analysis dwells too much on authors' "sexual development" rather than the text and its symbology. She then concludes instead that what a literary text is like is "a gigantic multifarious dream produced by a historical moment." I'm not sure this revision introduces a substantive distinction (it just suggests dreams are about history rather than sex), but so be it. The critic's job, then is "less to exhaustively explain any single work than to identify, in a group of works, a reflection of some conditioned aspect of reality." The individual work of literature almost completely drops out of sight in this critical dispensation, replaced by the critic's new "ultratext" in which he/she is free to rewrite the underlying texts to suit his/her interpretive agenda, as when Fredric Jameson, whom Batuman cites, transforms Proust's depiction of high society into a "'distorted' reflection of the Marxist Utopia." Alternately, the critic might offer up "a pile of literary-historical instances..followed by an historical explanation." This allows history or culture to become the text, and again the critic doesn't need to bother with a responsible reading of any one merely literary text for the sake of its own integrity.
Identifying and delineating a trend in fiction or poetry is an entirely justifiable thing to do, but it is only one task tthat literary criticism might perform. Ideally it would be the first step in a process that would ultimately include closer consideration of individual texts, which are, after all, what readers actually encounter. Batuman wants to make the synoptic approach the primary strategy of literary criticism. Insofar as this view of criticism emphasizes the performance of the critic for its own sake, it is of a piece with the views of Kirsch and Anderson. Insofar as it emphasizes history and culture over literature, it is also of a piece with current academic criticism, which similarly finds the cultural more interesting than the literary.
Stephen Burn is an academic critic, but his essay is the most cogent of the bunch, even echoing the criticism I have been making of the other contributions."It's time," he writes, "to hear less of critics talking about themselves, spinning reviews out of their charming memories or using the book under review as little more than a platform to promote themselves and their agendas." He also correctly discerns that the questions about the role of criticism (and thus the motivation of the NYTBR symposium itself) have been sharpened by the emergence of online literary discussion and its threat to the authority of the book reviewing establishment. Further, he believes literary criticism can actually take advantage of the new medium to produce a new, better form of book reviewing. This would involve developing what Burn calls "different kinds of vertical or horizontal mapping." Vertical mapping would include the kind of extra-textual commentary described by Kirsch and Batuman, by which an effort is made "to ascertain where a work fits into the contemporary and historical field," although for Burn this would tend toward attempts to assess genre or literary history. It would also involve the kind of grouping favored by Batuman, for example noting "the dominance of time as a thematic obsession in works of the last 20 years, or the emergence of the family epic. . .as it becomes perhaps the signature subgenre of the American novel today." However, in Burn's version attention would remain on particular works that happen to foreground such issues, not on the "ultratext" constructed by the critic.
Horizontal mapping would lead to such things as the "analysis of the hidden springs that govern the shape of the novel's sentences" or "an effort to establish a dialogue with the intellectual currents in other disciplines that have informed or challenged the work under review." Although this would take the critic beyond the details of the text itself, its ultimate goal again is still to illuminate the individual work under consideration. In my view, other modes of "horizontal mapping" would bring both critic and reader even closer to the work: attention not just to the "hidden springs" of the sentences, but to the material realization of "style," as well as to the "shape" of the text itself, its arrangement of sentences, through narrative or some other formal principle, into a verbal construct to the ordering and artifice of which all discussion of what a text has to "say" must remain contingent. Nevertheless, I agree with Burn that the best effect the migration of literary criticism from current mainstream print publications to blogs and online book reviews could have would be in encouraging more critics to try "delving deeper into open-minded analysis." I really don't agree that this new criticism would need to completely forgo "opinion." A better balance between "mapping" and judgment is what is needed.
Burn's brief for a transformed literary criticism harkens back to an older model of academic criticism, one that did emphasize close analysis as the proper ambition of serious literary criticism. It isn't clear whether Burn would like to see academic criticism return to this model, since the focus of his essay, as is the case with all the contributions, is on generalist book reviewing. As Rohan Maitzen points out, all six of the participants in this symposium more or less "conflate criticism with book reviewing," probably assuming that when the New York Times Book Review sponsors a forum on "criticism" what it is looking for is a discussion of the sort of thing it does.The divide between what publications like NYTBR do with books and what academic critics do with books has become so wide that the former can't really regard as criticism anything other than the journalistic book review, while the latter don't generally consider such a review to really be criticism at all. Burn's essay is to some extent an effort to bridge this gap, but it still assumes that the proposals made would be applied in the writing of better book reviews. Cyber criticism would be most successful if it broke down the association of "criticism" with "book review" and the presumption that any more extended criticism is inevitably ponderous and pedantic.
Burn's essay also unfortunately points up another serious limitation of "Why Criticism Matters": like all the other contributions, it restricts its attention exlusively to criticism and reviews of fiction. (Kirsch is a poet, but his essay provides no more than a few passing references to poets and poetry.) This is of course also reflective of the reviewing practices at the New York Times Book Review, where poetry is reviewed--well, "infrequently" would be an understatement, even if a poetry "column" appears every once in a while. Any invocation of "literature and crticism" that proceeds as if poetry can simply be ignored hardly seems credible. As far as that's concerned, there's no discussion in this symposium of reviewing nonfiction, either, as if "criticism" can't be relevant to writing other than fiction, primarily the kind of "notable" fiction pre-selected by the editor of the NYTBR. Since the great majority of books reviewed at the NYTBR, and most newspaper book reviews, is non-fiction, this seems peculiar. Ultimately it works to make this symposium seem not as much an effort to justify the approach to book reviewing taken by the most high profile book review in the country but mostly just incoherent.

Maud Hart Lovelace
From MN150
Winning Nomination
This author of the Betsy-Tacy book series captured an era in Minnesota history and gave girls a role model of an independent young woman who followed her dreams.
Runner-up Nominations
Maud Hart Lovelace transformed the world by introducing thousands yea, millions! of children and adults to the wonders and joys of growing up in Deep Valley, a fictionalized version of Mankato, Minnesota at the turn of the century through the beloved Betsy-Tacy series. Of all the 4,000 books in my personal library, my well-loved Betsy-Tacy books are the most treasured. She brings to life early 20th-century Mankato in her semi-autobiographical books. She conveys what a wonderful place it was and paints vivid pictures of life at that time. Her stories of everyday life in Mankato in the early 1900s give all who read her books a glimpse into the past through the eyes of a very observant writer! Maud Hart Lovelace, author of the Betsy-Tacy books: Minnnesota author whose books described her era in the same way that the Laura Ingalls books did for the pioneer era. She used her Mankato home town as the setting for her books. I liked her books. Maud wrote about her childhood in Mankato, MN and as people worldwide have read her books, they have sampled a slice of turn-of-the-century life with a dollop of Minnesota! Betsy-Tacy Series, set in Minnesota about two best friends. Writer grew up in Minnesota. A popular series when I was in elementary school, at least. Set in the 40s, it tells a lot about a Minnesota town.
History(1892-1980) A storied childhood Maud Hart Lovelace's career began with a bedtime story. She used to lull her daughter to sleep with stories of her childhood in Mankato, Minnesota. The town was only forty years old when Maud was born, and what Maud remembered was playing on the hills surrounding the town, viewing the Minnesota River from atop the hills, and, of course, the friends and family members that enlivened her days. In 1940, Lovelace published a book, Betsy-Tacy, based on her childhood memories. In the book, Mankato became "Deep Valley" and Maud became "Betsy," and a host of other remembered places and people became part of her tales. Lovelace was already a published author by the time she wrote Betsy-Tacy. Her first novel, The Black Angels, was published in 1926, followed three years later by Early Candlelight. But it was the stories she wrote using her own diaries, letters, and prodigious memory that truly captured readers' imaginations. She never intended Betsy-Tacy to begin a series, but because of its success, she continued to write. The series begins when Betsy and her friends turn five, takes them through high school and college, and ends with Betsy's wedding. A volume was published every year until 1955. Lovelace published many books in her lifetime, including thirteen in the Betsy-Tacy series, four others for children, and eight for adults. In recent years, the formation of a Betsy-Tacy Society has brought renewed interest to the series. A bronze plaque on a stone bench at the top of Center Street in Mankato reads, "To honor Maud Hart Lovelace, who here began the childhood daydreams that one day would be our window to the past."

It's rare in the hippie boonies.
You shuda dun it.
Is it that rare? I see people wearing vibrams and grok shirts a lot now. I think seeing carts full of butter, meat, veggies, is pretty frequent. Not as frequent as the bread stocked vegetarians of course with all their soymilk and stuff. I always twitch whenever I hear someone order a soy latte at a coffee shop. I even had some guy say "ew you're using pus milk in your coffee?" when I was making mine. I wanted to slap his sissy testosterone depleted ass around, but I held back.

That is so fucking rude to make a comment like that. You should have slapped his disrespectful face.I even had some guy say "ew you're using pus milk in your coffee?" when I was making mine. I wanted to slap his sissy testosterone depleted ass around, but I held back.
I get so so sick of judgy ass people feeling the need to "comment".
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
I don't look in other people's grocery carts too often while walking around the store, but I see a lot of what people buy when they put it all on the conveyer belt. It's usually an array of packaged snacks, bakery goodies, microwave dinners, frozen breaded "meat", ice cream, sugary cereal etc etc. A lot of times there's no fresh produce whatsoever.
Sometimes when people look in my cart they give me that "oh, you're one of THOSE people" looks, like I'm a food snob or something because I buy organic and grassfed as often as I can afford it. Honestly though, I really don't mind being a "food snob" because it's keeping me healthy and fit, unlike eating a standard American diet.
I'll admit that sometimes now I actually get embarrassed when I have to buy junk food. I was in charge of picking up cake mix, cookie dough, frosting and some other junk food for a friend's surprise birthday party, and I felt so awkward buying all that stuff. The cashier was one I see regularly, and since he knows the type of food I usually buy he commented that all that stuff must not be for me
Two ways to deal with people like that, whether food or whatever.I even had some guy say "ew you're using pus milk in your coffee?" when I was making mine. I wanted to slap his sissy testosterone depleted ass around, but I held back.
1. "What makes you think I give a shit what you think?"
2. "You do realize that most people don't need to hear every thought that bounces off the back of your little brain, don't you?"
It takes practice, but eventually responses like that will become habit. Maybe we can all band together to shut down one rude asshole at a time.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
I was asked to buy a coworker a king size Kit Kat and a Mountain Dew from the gas station the other day. I felt absolutely horrible in the checkout line. I honestly felt very embarrassed and hoped no one else was thinking I was buying that crap for myself.
I ended up buying some potato chips at the health food store (I didn't want to make another stop just for chips) for the kids that are coming over for my son's B day and I couldn't believe how expensive they were, it's been so long since I've bought chips I really had no idea how much they cost. I felt bad spending money on a non-food item, it made realize how much money people spend on "food" that is really just filler and completely unnecessary.
Way back when I was a 'new mom' I was part of a non-profit group that educated people about using modern cloth nappies (you call them diapers in the US?), imagine my shame when every damn time I needed to get disposables because the kids had diarrhoea or we were going on a trip someone would recognise me at the supermarket and take a long hard look at the offending objects in my cart. One of the joys of living in a relatively small town, you cannot hide!
One of the benefits of living in a small town, if you don't know what you're doing... someone else does!
My hubby has gradually come over to the primal side, but he still has to have his black licorice. I feel like a drug dealer whenever I buy it for him. *sigh*
Yesterday while checking out at the grocery store the clerk made the comment that we must be 'stocking up' on fruits and vegetables because, with the exception of two dozen eggs, some fish, and some paper towels, that's all we bought - but no, that (along with some grass-fed meet we've got in our deep-freeze) is just what my husband and I eat over the course of a week! I'm sure everyone seeing our cart thinks we're vegetarian.

Arthur Forbis
Captain Arthur Forbis commanded a small company in the Guilford County militia. In the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, Forbis fought in this general area, what was the left-center of the American first line.
If you stand facing away from the monument, you can imagine Forbis watching the British advancing from the west. Forbis shot a British officer before being wounded in the battle. Forbis died a few days later and was buried in the Alamance Presbyterian Church cemetery.
Honoring North Carolina
Judge Schenck was particularly interested in defending the North Carolina militia, who had supposedly fled the battle in fear. The first monument that Schenck erected on the battlefield was this monument to Forbis. It was an appropriate choice since it honors a local militia officer who courageously shot down one of the British.

Film review
Cracking Combination
Starring all your favourite second bananas, plus George Clooney, this is a downbeat, low-budget, impeccably-scripted, superbly-acted, humanist tragicomedy from George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh's Section 8 production company. Pull up a chair, this is a doozy.
Guzmán plays a useless car thief awaiting bail after his latest arrest. His cellmate, a lifer, tells him of the perfect heist: hundreds of thousands of dollars in a rickety safe adjacent to an empty apartment. All Guzmán needs is a "mullinski"—someone to do his jail-time for him for $15,000. His girlfriend puts the word out and rubbish boxer Rockwell is secured as the mullinski, but not before crippled safebreaker Clooney, desperate single dad Macy, ageing tramp Michael Jeter and hard-up hustler Isaiah Washington get wind of it and go after a piece of the action too. What's more, Rockwell only spends half an hour in prison before he's sprung, leaving Guzmán fuming inside while every idiot in Collinwood goes after his loot.
Initially, this is as much a study in poverty, desperation and (extremely) petty crime in the rust belt as it is a comedy. Macy's character in particular tugs the heartstrings: wife in jail, arm in plaster, baby on his hip even during fights, he'd steal the show in any other cast, but here there's stiff competition from a who's who of indie character actors. There's more talent on screen here than in a whole summer of blockbusters. It's not all stagecraft, though. After much bumbling, bickering, barbiturate-taking, wearing of rabbi costumes and falling out of windows, the action builds to a spectacularly incompetent break-in scene that's up there with Woody Allen at his slapstickiest.
We've got used to quality stuff from the Clooney/Soderbergh production team, but this is something more: in first-time writer-directors the Russo brothers, we have the first serious challengers to the throne currently occupied by the Coens. Things could get interesting.

"A Disappointment"
Nothing wrong with the narration, but the plot is tissue-thin and fraught with cliche after cliche, as is the writing. Most of the more interesting plot leads are dropped by the wayside which is a shame, because the protagonist, as self-absorbed as she might be, has potential as a lead. I'll think twice before downloading anything else in this series or by this author.
"Deliciously creepy!"
"Lolita" is about so much more than a middle-aged man's inappropriate obsession with the daughter of his landlady -- about pretense, about ego, about cultural differences -- all bound together by one of the most self-serving, unreliable narrators around. Jeremy Irons caresses each syllable of Nabokov's wonderful wordplay and makes Humbert Humbert as human and fascinating as he is appalling.
"Perfectly Delightful"
Ms. Hathaway brought one smile, one grin after another to my face as she infused new life into old and beloved characters for me. Her diction was outstanding and even the most minor of players (the stork, for instance) got their opportunity to shine. Having grown up with the book rather than the movie, I am just tickled to pieces at this reading.
"not much"
Only real value of this is knowing where the money will go. Not much of a story and performance is only so-so.
"A Visit to Another Era"
An astonishing experience for a suburban white woman, to be transported to Harlem in the 1950s, and Himes (whom I'd heard of, but never read before) made it an unforgettable trip. The story is deliciously convoluted and the characters are perfectly presented, universal figures, yet each utterly one of a kind.
I was a little confused at first, because the lead characters in the series appear more than halfway through the story, and appear as secondary characters. This was Himes's first in the series, so perhaps he didn't realize he would use them again at the time he wrote it.
What set the whole thing sizzling was Samuel L. Jackson's extraordinary, sharp and loving performance, making each character uniquely memorable. I can't say enough about how much his power and enthusiasm got me sucked into the story completely.
"Language, Politics, and Truth"
This book takes its own sweet time getting to the point, but along the way you will realize that all those seemingly tangential observations spring these larger-than-life characters. They give the book its immediacy and compelling plot. Robert Penn Warren drew the characters with infinite care, and Michael Emerson voices those words perfectly.
"Uncomfortable Tuths, Well Presented"
Carefully providing the historical underpinnings of both the intentions of the Founding Fathers and the "good" reasons for which "bad" laws have been put into place, Maddow lines out how we have handed off most of our freedoms for the illusion of security. Whether her liberal slant resonates with you or not, there's much here that should get your hackles up. I'm a Libertarian/Republican and I found much of interest here.
Maddow is an exceptionally intelligent, articulate, and charismatic woman who also has a strong academic bent. My only complaint about this book was that in her narration I found a bit more of her liberal smug sarcastic delivery, the thing that keeps me from watching her news program, than I was entirely comfortable with.
In the end, smugness aside, this is a book that everyone who really wants to believe that this is a free country needs to read and understand.
"Totally guilty pleasure"
OK, to start with, the whole book is deep background, which means you'll just have to take the authors' words that they're giving you the straight scoop. The story never drags and it effortlessly keeps its cast of hundreds clear in the head of the reader/listener.
It's a totally glib piece of maybe-faux-reportage but eerily enchanting in a gossipy train-wreck kind of way that I love every minute of though makes me feel dirty afterwards. (Admittedly, I have ambivalence issues.)
Boutsikaris is just pitch-perfect, the only unabashed 5-stars I can give, hinting at the cadences of the better known speakers without flat-out imitating them.
"But cut so short ..."
This is a brilliant performance of Toole's amazing "A Confederacy of Dunces" by Arte Johnson. The voices, the accents ... it's all pitch-perfect. But oh, dear, it is severely abridged. This is about 3 hours of a novel that it takes 9 or 10 hours to read. It certainly gives you the flavor and unforgettable characters, but too many of the little plot details that make the whole story fall together so perfectly are missing, victims of the editor's axe.
Perhaps this will prompt more than one person to go out in search of a more complete version of the novel... but it's a pity that it will not be read with Mr. Johnson's enthusiasm and glee.
"At last in unabridged format!"
This book is the reason I joined audible.com! I have probably read it ten times since it first came out, and once even borrowed the most unsatisfying abridged version from the library. There are no wasted words in this story -- shortening it takes away from its immediacy. The crimes were horrendous for their era -- or for any era -- and there is an all-star cast. Tate! Polanski! The Beach Boys! And who would have expected that the scruffy little runt, Charlie Manson, would someday rival them for fame?
This is crisp prose, crisply read by Scott Brick [I always wondered how to pronounce the name of the "Ouchterlony test"] without unnecessary dramatics. The "updates" that take up the last hour or so, while out of date now, are still more than were included in the copy I owned. Final word: Anything that can engage my I-hate-true-crime husband and drag him away from his computer the better to listen intently is a real winner.

"We have made this recipe a few times now and it is super yummy every time! I have a horrible dairy allergy and was able to substitute soy milk and Earth's Balance "butter" spread. Tastes just like I want it to :) Only thing we have done is added some Italian seasoning to give it a little kick. mmmmm! Can't wait to make this again!"
"Super easy and very yummy! We had just a little leftover ham and just enough of the rest of the supplies, what a great way to use them up! I added just a little garlic and it turned out PERFECT!"
"Amazing! My mom made this for me tonight and I couldn't get enough! She left the regular onions on my half. We used her homemade BBQ sauce and some precooked chicken. It was beyond amazing! I will be making this one on my own for sure!!!!!!"
"Wow! This recipe is AMAZING! I have made it several times and will continue to use it, thank you! I feel it tastes a bit more like Ranch Dip but I can't complain since its ranch I can enjoy. I use Lactaide Milk rather than soy, but that is a personal preference."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] CHINA/US/APEC/MIL/ECON/GV - Military drills and currency on agenda

The United States' involvement in the Asia-Pacific region and Chinese
currency reform are expected to top the agenda when President Hu Jintao
and his US counterpart Barack Obama meet during the Apec summit starting
today in Hawaii.
Hu will elaborate on China's stance on global economic policy, regional
development and hold one-on-one meetings with the leaders of Asia-Pacific
Economic Co-operation (Apec) forum countries. While the debt crisis
lingers in Europe, analysts expect Obama to use the summit in Honolulu to
intensify his focus on the fast-growing region.
The US has stepped up its presence in the region and some of its actions,
such as a fighter-jet upgrade for Taiwan and military drills in the South
China Sea, have upset Beijing.
Obama and American officials have recently reiterated that the US will not
be leaving the region. US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta recently
travelled to Japan, South Korea and Indonesia, and the Obama
administration has also engaged North Korea and Myanmar in recent months.
Following the Apec summit, Obama will visit Australia before going to
Bali, Indonesia, to become the first US president to take part in an East
Asia Summit.
Ma Zhengang , a former Chinese ambassador to Britain and a former
president of the China Institute of International Studies(CIIS), said
China welcomed US involvement in the region, but there were concerns over
whether the US presence would affect China's position.
"Some of the developments in the region triggered fears that the US
presence is not mainly for economic gain, but also about containing
China," Ma said. "Both sides do not want confrontations, and want to
discuss how they can co-operate with each other."
Professor Jin Canrong , a Sino-US affairs expert at Renmin University,
said China is well aware that the US presence can help allay fears about
China's development among countries in the region.
"But on the other hand, China also has some worries about the US and wants
to discuss them frankly," he said.
CIIS president Qu Xing said the two presidents will discuss solutions to
the global economic crisis, and he expected the US will press China to
allow the value of the yuan to rise more rapidly.
"As the economies in Europe, the US and Japan are not in good shape, how
China can help tackle the financial difficulties and co-operation with the
US in this regard will be a main concern," Qu said. "The US will link the
appreciation of the renminbi to economic recovery."
The US also wants to expand the Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade pact,
which calls for restrictions on government subsidies for state-owned
enterprises, and to persuade all Apec countries to lower tariffs on
environmentally friendly products such as solar panels to 5 per cent.
China, which has imposed an average 7 per cent tariff on 153 green
products proposed by the US, says the two goals are too ambitious.

Rebecca Minkoff
We don't claim to know very much about women's fashion, although we do know this – ladies love bags. The more expensive, the better. Rebecca Minkoff knows this too. Her initial breakthrough came thanks to a bag she called "The Morning After" bag which we can only assume is popular with those ladies making a habit of not waking up in their own beds who had grown tired of doing the walk of shame. What started out as a brand run out of her apartment, Rebecca Minkoff has has quickly grown to become the #1 independent accessories designer in the United States. In addition to bags, accessories and shoes, Rebecca now has a full apparel line and recently launched a men's line too. Bottom line, she's killing it. Score one for the good guys.
A couple months ago, we actually wound up at Rebecca's fashion show during the most recent NYFW. Stang was modeling her new men's line. Ha. No, actually one of our artists was performing on the runway as the models walked the down strutting their stuff. It was pretty surreal and an impressive integration of the arts. Speaking of "art," Rebecca not only has love for the fashion and music variety, but fancies the culinary side as well.
Check out her picks below for dates, oysters, coffee and general hangs. For more information on Rebecca Minkoff and to check out her current line, check out her website and to keep up with the latest, make sure you're following her on Twitter and checking her board on Pinterest .
Rebecca's "Perfect For" Picks
Neighborhood Hang
Great Jones Cafe (54 Great Jones St. #A) – "They have the best burgers in town, and it's 2 blocks from my apartment! I consider myself very lucky."
Fulton (205 E 75th St.) – "A great NY secret (I'm still questioning sharing this) – from 5-7pm they have an unbeatable happy hour special at the bar; there are $1 oysters and $5 Cava's and free truffle popcorn!"
Coffee & A Light Bite
La Colombe (270 Lafayette St.) – "I can't get enough of the almond croissant and have been known to eat 2 in a day."
Date Night
Empellon (203 W 4th St.) – "Nothing says date night like a margarita!"
Celebrity Sightings
Bar Pitti (268 6th Ave.) – "On a warm day there is no celebrity sighting like Jay-Z and Beyonce, who are regulars. Maybe Luca and Blue will become friends? Here's to hoping!"
Artichoke Pizza (111 MacDougal St.) – "Best Pizza!"

Christopher Warren Mack has been arrested by the Eugene Police Department on suspicion of sex abuse near the University of Oregon campus. A composite sketch of the suspect provided by UOPD led investigators to Mack, according to an EPD press release (PDF).
Springfield Police assisted with Mack's arrest on Feb. 5, who then transported him to the EPD. He was questioned by their Violent Crimes detectives, and later lodged at the Lane County Jail on one count of sex abuse in the first degree.
Eugene Police first learned of the incident when UOPD released a campus crime alert describing an indecent exposure incident. Later, that campus crime alert was updated to include an incident where a UO student reported being attacked by the person in the composite sketch near her apartment on 1420 Villard St. Mack, 35, allegedly approached the woman asking for directions, which she tried to ignore. He then allegedly grabbed her from behind and grabbed her chest and made other inappropriate motions, including wiping a bodily fluid on her.
Mack is still being investigated and is currently only being charged in the incident that occurred on Villard Street. He will be arraigned today.

VCU evaluates using plasma earlier in trauma patients
7/30/2014, 12:46 p.m.
Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center is conducting a study to evaluate the use of fresh frozen plasma, a component of blood that enables clotting, when emergency services personnel reach a patient rather than when the patient arrives at the hospital.
VCU is one of three academic medical centers in the country that has been selected to participate in this study, funded by a grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Combat Casualty Care Research Program. The principal investigator leading the study at VCU is Bruce Spiess, M.D., professor in the VCU Department of Anesthesiology and researcher with the VCU Reanimation Engineering Science Center, or VCURES.
In more than 95 percent of major trauma cases involving severe bleeding, patients receive blood and plasma products once they are transported to the hospital, usually immediately in the emergency department, to replace lost blood as well as the lost clotting factors.
In the resuscitation of severe trauma, a coagulopathic state, or an inability to clot normally, develops within the first minutes to hours after trauma. Currently, the standard of care by EMS personnel is to give trauma patients saline (salt water) solution intravenously to help replace lost blood and to keep blood pressure up until the patient reaches the hospital.
Saline, however, cannot carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Fluid resuscitation with traditional fluids, such as saline, appears to worsen the coagulation issue through some very complex mechanisms and leads to further bleeding and complications.
Many studies on soldiers from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and on patients in trauma centers around the country suggest that the earlier, more vigorous replacement of clotting factors by giving plasma improves survival from massive injuries.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether patients who receive plasma as soon as possible after suffering a non-head related trauma have reduced bleeding/transfusion and pain, better clinical outcomes and improved survival rates. The study would begin with the patient before arriving at the hospital, either at the scene of the injury or in the ambulance. The study will lay the groundwork for civilian and military improvements in treatment of the most severely injured victims.
VCU was selected by the Army to participate in this study because of its Level I Trauma Center designation and the high number of trauma victims it receives.
"A multidisciplinary team, including clinical researchers, pharmacists, engineers, mathematicians and others, will be involved in this important study. Few institutions in the country have the expertise across the spectrum as found at VCU," Spiess said.
Persons eligible for this study are at least 18 years old and non-pregnant. Because of the severity of their injuries and loss of blood, these individuals may not be able to provide consent to participate. Federal regulations allow emergency-related research in patients with a life-threatening medical problem in which the best known treatment is unknown and the intervention must be given without delay. Patients or their surrogates will be told about their participation at the earliest opportunity after the event and will be able to provide permission to continue the study. Except for a total of four blood draws, once patients arrive at VCU they will receive no other study interventions –- but would still receive the care they would normally receive if not participating in the study. A patient's participation is expected to last for 30 days after injury.
Individuals who do not wish to participate in this study can request a wristband to wear at all times that will express their wishes not to participate. The study is expected to last through 2016.

We are hooking up electric to a formerly solar cabin. All the wiring and electrical panel is there in the house. The local power company installs a pedestal then we must run power from that pedestal underground and into the house and connect to the main panel. What size conduit and what size wires do we need to get? |

If this is the standard practice of that utility, there are no doubt companies in your area that offer that specific service. I suggest using one of them. |
- Posted by glennsparky (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 5:19
"... What size conduit and what size wires do we need to get?" What's the amperage of the main breaker or fuse that supplies the whole cabin? If six or less breakers are used instead of a main, you need to do a load calculation. Or you may get by with finding out how much the utility is going to supply. |

The Land Trust proposed a modest office and research center on Stewart Avenue, a quiet, leafy road in the heart of one of the city's more affluent neighborhoods. The facility would complement the group's plans to transform the house next door, where Florida eco-saint Marjory Stoneman Douglas had lived for 70 years, into a museum. But many residents of the million-dollar homes that line the serpentine street vowed to fight the office plan; some even declared they didn't like the idea of a museum.
The neighbors brought a stenographer to the meeting to provide a record, in case they decided to sue. Land Trust president Sallye Jude tried to give a presentation on the plan, but residents were in no mood to listen. One neighbor, Jeff Schottenstein, offered to pay to move Douglas's house. Sarah Eaton, the city's historic-preservation officer, rejected the idea. Schottenstein then threatened to appeal to the governor. "I can call up Jeb and see if I can buy [Douglas's state-owned] house," he insisted. "I'm prepared to buy Mrs. Jude out, too."
Jude struggled to continue. She explained that Douglas had approved the plans before her death in 1998 at the age of 108. The Land Trust had gone out of its way to minimize the impact to the neighborhood by planning to build its office as an almost exact replica of a 1920s-era house that once existed on the site.
Residents continuously interrupted with concerns about parking, strangers roaming their neighborhood, and imperiled property values. Schottenstein got up from his seat and approached Jude, wagging his finger angrily. "Do you have a million dollars?" he asked, looming over the petite woman as she frantically tried to get out of his way.
"You haven't had trouble until you know me," he shouted, following her across the room until Jude cowered, then dissolved into tears.
"You can't do this to people," Jude sobbed. "You can't threaten us."
"I don't think it is appropriate to threaten people like this," concurred Lourdes Slazyk, the assistant planning director who soon pulled the plug on the meeting. Jude and the Land Trust representatives hurried to their cars as the residents filed into the street, still arguing with whomever would listen.
It's hard to say whether Marjory Stoneman Douglas, an ardent preservationist who cherished her privacy, would be horrified or bemused at this turn of events. Born in 1890 Douglas arrived in Miami from Minnesota at age 25. She went to work as a society columnist for her father, Judge Frank Stoneman, at his fledgling newspaper, the Miami Herald. After a few years, Douglas quit the job to write freelance articles and short stories. In 1926 she had a small cottage built on Stewart Avenue in Coconut Grove. "I hoped my little house would be as stout and as sparse as a factory, with not much to worry about," she wrote in her autobiography Voice of the River. Construction proceeded fitfully as money from her writing work dribbled in. She called it the "house that the Saturday Evening Post built."
Douglas took to Coconut Grove's artist culture and its relative isolation. In one of her books she called the area a place where people "enjoyed their neighbors but didn't want to live too close to them." Over the years Douglas's house served as a center for citizens who wanted to stop environmental destruction in South Florida. She also penned her 1947 environmental classic, The Everglades: River of Grass, in its rooms. The book awakened worldwide interest in South Florida's unique ecosystem, and led to the creation of one of America's best-loved national parks. Recognition of Douglas's stature as a public treasure grew with her advancing years. In 1987 the Florida Cabinet named her a "Great Floridian" and in 1993 President Bill Clinton awarded her the Medal of Freedom.
Yet at age 101 Douglas found herself broke. "The money she got from the sale of her books was not very much," remembers Nancy Brown, who took the presidency of Douglas's environmental group, Friends of the Everglades, when the aging activist stepped down at age 100. "She was in old contracts where she got next to nothing and had no real income."
In 1991, through the lobbying efforts of her friends, state legislators convinced the Florida Department of Natural Resources to purchase Douglas's home for a little more than $100,000 and transform it into a historical monument. As part of the deal, the Land Trust was assigned to manage it. The state and the trust fixed up the place, repairing the roof and installing air conditioning for the first time, and allowed the then-101-year-old to continue living in the house. In 1994 the Land Trust bought the adjacent property, once known as the Cole House.
In 1997 Jude convinced the Miami City Commission to change the zoning on both parcels to allow for a museum and office space. Neighbors were given the opportunity to opine on the plan, but remained silent, according to Jude and Eaton.

First came Thai movie posters, and now we've found a collection of mind blowing Japanese movie posters. Super kawaii! etc. Mostly depicting Western films, the posters either hark back to a time of hand drawn movie art or are re-imaginings of what the movie should be represented by. For example, the Fire Walk With Me poster gives David Bowie's character billing over Laura Palmer (and they use a press shot of him, which is pretty funny).

Guess who's coming in this week's Dance India Dance Saturday episode to give competition to Raghav Crockroaz Juyal? If you are thinking it's another wild card entry then you are wrong.
Well it's his father and younger brother. Deepak Juyal and his younger son Yashasvi came down all the way from Dehradun to cheer up Raghav and boost his morale just before the finale. A totally dumbstruck Raghav exclaimed 'oii terri!!!' upon seeing his father and brother as they stepped on the stage.
Deepak Juyal was all praise for his son for making him so proud. He says, "I am a proud father today. There used to be times when I used to get upset with Raghav since he used to never take his studies seriously. But today he has made me so proud. In fact he has made whole Dehradun proud. His unique slow motion style has become a rage. I urge all parents to inculcate the latent talent in their kids irrespective whether they are doing well in their education or not."
Yashasvi is an exact carbon copy of his elder brother and one won't be surprised to see him auditioning for DID next year. In fact, he even talks like him. It was an endearing moment when Mithun Da asked the trio to do a slow motion together. That Yashasvi has a natural flair for dance was absolutely undeniable. The way he did an effortless sow- motion like his elder brother was totally a treat for the eyes. And as far as Deepak is concerned, it was very evident that given a chance even he could give a takkar to his own son's.

Earlier this week we (Boss and I) were talking guns. I told him I had just bought a Kahr CW9 and he was telling me he had just gotten a Glock 36. We eventually got onto the topic of how in Indiana there is a state law that says you can keep a gun in your car on company property and your employer can't tell you that you can't.
He says, "Want to see the G36?" and I say sure. So we go out to his car and he shows it to me. It's unloaded. he had picked it up at lunch that day. They he says, this is what I normally carry and pulls out and unloads a S&W semi auto, older model, don't remember the model number. Then, he says the car gun is a Sig P226, unlocks the glove box and shows that one to me. We get out and he takes me to the back and opens the hatchback of his car, shows me the old beat up single shot shotgun he keeps in a compartment in the back for dispatching a deer he may hit, and in a smaller compartment in the very back next to the spare tire well, a little Makorav that he calls the last ditch gun if the crap really hits the fan.
Made me feel kind of inadequate since I usually only have my Glock 23 in the Jeep.
I have a very cool, and very well armed boss.

I am in a new home and this rose bush is climbing a fence along my front drive. You can click the link for a picture.
http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/modern/sharon.html I cut it back last year and the homeowner told me it wouldn't bloom again for 2-3 years. It is already as big as it was last fall, and blooming beautifully :) My question is - and I know very little about gardening and nothing about roses - can I do something with the half dozen stalks I cut back? Thanks in advance for any tips, links, etc. |

text: On May 20-21, 2012 NATO Summit was held in Chicago, where the member states discussed NATO defense capabilities, future engagement in Afghanistan and the Alliance's partnerships. Within the framework of the Summit various meetings were held, namely the North Atlantic Council (NAC) session at the level of heads of state and government; the meeting on Afghanistan with participation of the ISAF contributing nations, the Alliance meeting with the 13 partner nations, which have made particular political, operational and financial contribution to the NATO led operations; the NATO meeting with the 4 aspirant countries. The Georgian delegation participated in all partnership and aspirant format meetings. The heads of state and government issued the Summit Declaration after the NAC meeting,which contains several important messages related to Georgia: On the NATO "Open Door Policy", the Allies reaffirmed their strong commitment to the Euro-Atlantic integration of the partners that aspire to join the Alliance in accordance with previous decisions taken at the Bucharest, Strasbourg-Kehl, and Lisbon Summits, welcomed progress made by these four partners, noting that the judgment of each of them will be made on their "own merits," and encouraged them to "continue to implement the necessary decisions and reforms to advance their Euro-Atlantic aspirations". In that context, NATO will continue to "offer political and practical support to partners that aspire to join the Alliance." The Declaration acknowledges that "NATO's enlargement has contributed substantially to the security of Allies;" respectively, the further enlargement will "continue to advance stability in Europe more broadly." In the Georgia part of the Declaration, which follows the paragraphs related to other aspirant countries, the Allies reaffirm the Bucharest Summit decision that "Georgia will become a member of NATO", with all its elements and subsequent decisions; It is emphasized that the NATO-Georgia Commission (NGC) and Georgia's Annual National Programme (ANP) "have a central role in supervising the process set in hand at the Bucharest Summit." It should be underlined that the Allies welcomed "Georgia's progress since the Bucharest Summit to meet its Euro-Atlantic aspirations through its reforms, implementation of its Annual National Programme, and active political engagement with the Alliance in the NATO-Georgia Commission." The Declaration states that the decision was made to "enhance Georgia's connectivity with the Alliance, including by further strengthening political dialogue, practical cooperation, and interoperability with Georgia." The Allies expressed their appreciation on Georgia's "substantial contribution, in particular as the second largest non-NATO troop contributing nation to ISAF, to Euro-Atlantic security." The Declaration also notes the importance of conducting free, fair, and inclusive elections in 2012 and 2013. NATO member states reiterated their "continued support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders and welcomed Georgia's full compliance with the EU-mediated cease-fire agreement and other unilateral measures to build confidence."The Allies underscored" Georgia's commitment not to use force and called on Russia to reciprocate," as well as to reverse its recognition of the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia as independent states. The Allies noted the importance for all participants in the Geneva talks to play a constructive role as well as to continue working closely with the OSCE, the UN, and the EU. In the light of the meeting with the "aspirant" countries, wherein Georgia participated along with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Allies once again expressed their gratitude to these "four countries that aspire to NATO membership" for the important contributions they are making to NATO-led operations. In the paragraph dedicated to the NATO-Russia relations, the Allies pointed out about that parties "differ on specific issues" and urged Russia to "meet its commitments with respect to Georgia, as mediated by the EU on 12 August and 8 September 2008." It should be underlined that the Allies expressed their "concern on the build-up of Russia's military presence on Georgia's territory" and called on Russia to "ensure free access for humanitarian assistance and international observers." The Summit Declaration also addresses the issue of "protracted regional conflicts" in South Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova. The Allies urged all parties to engage constructively and to respect the current negotiation formats with the aim of peaceful conflict resolution. NATO member states reaffirmed their support to the "territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Republic of Moldova," and noted that they will continue to support efforts towards a peaceful settlement of these regional conflicts, based upon these principles and the norms of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Helsinki Final Act.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chaka!
Facts about Chaka
- Breed: Blue Heeler/Corgi Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Chaka's Info...
I am in need of an experienced adopter, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chaka is a cute and goofy guy. He has been a vagabond for so long, he has forgotten what it is like to be owned by a person! He fears the collar and leash, but if you have space for him, a fenced yard or a kennel, he is very good loose. He would not do well for someone who wants a walking companion in town, but maybe in the country. He hasn't chased the cats and he respected my older dog ~ she did not want to play. He doesn't like small children, but teens might be ok. He was ok with the 6 yr old, but not the 4 yr old. He is quiet unless something is there. I pretty nice dog who just needs time to learn to trust..

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chaka, a Chewelah Blue Heeler/Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Blue Heeler/Corgi for sale in Chewelah, or seeking a Blue Heeler/Corgi dog from a breeder in Chewelah.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chewelah already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chewelah breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Blue Heeler/Corgi breeders who help with Blue Heeler/Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chewelah paves the way for another one to be saved.

Quoted Text my youngest has never had enough gluten to do lab-detectable damage
Quoted from Eric Does that mean that if you don't eat gluten, the lab test is worthless? I was tested for Celiac a year ago, and it came up negative.. but I wasn't eating any avoids. So if I had been eating wheat, I might have tested positive for Celiac? All I know is that I have the same kinds of reactions from wheat.. I get depressed, irritable, and I have a lot of gas, etc
Quoted from 521 When I eat wheat, I feel mentally stunned, my entire abdomen swells and hurts a lot, and I start itching all over like mad.
Quoted from Maria Giovanna Hi Blade002, the golden standard of colonscopy or jeiunumscopy to diagnose celiac disease is six month of free diet with gluten. You need to eat wheat, spelt, rye , barley, kamut items for this purpose. For blood tests antigens are more quick to be sensitive to diet but let it eat with gluten for a month , to be sure your tests are trustwort.If your symptom are already cristal-clear depending on gluten for you, I'd only do BTD or GTD gluten free and test my white lines on my finger printing, as Dr D. wrote in genotype book. Nearly 1 % of us is celiac or gluten intolerant and others are wheat intolerant.For ease your symptpms as an A I find perfect corn products ( Mannose as in cranberries) and fresh pineapple, that break the wheat proteins in simple aminoacids, helping the digestion and miminizing the damage.Deflect A was also perfect , as N Acetylglucosamine, but at the moment corn and pineapple together too work for me.Maria Giovanna
Quoted from Maria Giovanna Hi Marie and all celiacs, could you figure to be celiac in Italy the country of pasta, bread and pizza ! I am and I had real symptoms only till 2 years old or three.My bones and my eye allergy as my colds and sinusitis were deeply linked to wheat gluten and cow milk, as also a little bit of dermatitis. I was already 40 years old when I was checked with jeiunumscopy. Another symtpom I had was a very very slow digestion and I hated to work , study or go out after a big wheat meal !Maria Giovanna
Quoted from angelighte Hi to all Celiacs + gluten intolerant (wheat intolerant) sufferers,I just want to find out the difference in symptoms you have.Those of you with Celiacs Disease - what happens if you eat gluten? Do you throw up etc. What if you just eat a tiny bit of gluten?Those of you with Gluten intolerance is it that you feel uncomfortable in the gut over the next few days? or do you throw up straight away as well?
Quoted from angelighte My symptoms are that I start feeling uncomfortable in my stomach about an hour or so later and for a few days. Lethargic. A bit epressed. Unmotivated.

Haiti: Parliamentarians Oppose the Executives Draft Budget 2011-2012
Tweet |
Written by DH Staff
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 01:41
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (defend.ht) - The first secretary of the Haitian senate, Steven Benoît (Ouest/Alternative), made no secret of his vote. He announced that he would vote against the budget submitted by the Finance Minister George Lemercier.
Senator of the Alternative views that this budget is part of the continuity with previous Governments since the headings and allowances have been maintained. He also denounced an "opaque" and "centralized" budget.
At the same time Mr. Benoît was outraged at the budget of "assistantship" in which 60% of resources come from the international community.
Very critical of the great financier of the Republic, Senator Benoit urges the government to prepare in better conditions the next finance bill that will address the priorities of the administration Martelly.
This opinion is shared by the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the lower House, Rodon Bien-Aime (Cerca Carvajal/Inite), who deplored that benefits of agriculture and the environment among others do not correspond to the priorities of the Conille government.
According to the chairman of the house finance committee, the finance minister would do better to prepare together with the parliamentary finance act.
Like Steven Benoît, Bien-Aimé regrets that no effort was made to promote the development of the rural regions.
The 2011-2012 budget estimated at 119. 3 billion gourdes ($2.87 billion [US]) will have to be deposited officially in the lower house before the end of this month.
The government will have to, in the next 5 months present a new budget for the fiscal year 2012-2013.

Liferea is a life saver app, as it provides the right news at the right time, exactly when you need them. However, it can also save your Internet bandwidth, simply by supporting feed specified update intervals, HTTP compression and etags.

text: New Orleans Police say a 41-year-old Georgia man pulled out a gun and started shooting at paintings in the French Quarter. "Eric Wilson pulled out a Taurus Revolver and fired five shots into five paintings in front of Jackson Square," Officer Garry Flot said in a news release. Witnesses say the shooter then walked away. "An Officer responding to shots fired was flagged down by concerned citizens who pointed to Wilson who was walking in the 700 block of Decatur Street. The Officer apprehend Wilson in the 700 block of Barracks without further incident," according to Flot. Investigators say the suspect was still armed when he was arrested. "Upon searching Wilson, he was found to be in possession of the handgun, which contained five spent casing. It is unclear on Wilson's motive." It happened just before 5:00pm Sunday evening.

Hi Gonz, Great colour, looks like you're onto something good with this. Any more cultural details? Thanks for sharing, all the best, nev. |
Hi Gonzer - looking great! Is that 0-10-10 a slow release? Or is it a soluble you put in the cup? Interested to find out. Never seen anything like that in Oz - lucky to find slow release with N less than 14-15. Cheers, Paul |
Flip...Gonz all three of the pups seen in that pic are lookin great. I gotta get me Bill. 'Incendiary Delight' ASAP! Dennis |
Dennis, what you're seeing is the new pup on the right, the mother on the left and in the background, the pup from last year that got stretched from using Gro Power lawn fert 5-3-1. That fertilizer is designed for stoloniferous turf but worked real well on all the Bills by multiplying their offsets. I lost a lot of color but gained a lot of plants. The 'Bloom Builder' I'm using is coloring those pups up nicely. |
Hey Gonz, the tree pups I was reffering to are on the three different plants in the pic....I know---its Friday! |
tree=three! |
Just awesome. And the perfect name, too. |
Tree = three? Buncha jokesters around here. I'll post a pic of 'Deliciosa' and 'Bravo' which colored up really bright. I forgot to address Paul's question; the fert is water-soluable. Sorry Paul. |
Looks like some new stuff for me to work with too! I cant get my Incendiary Delight to look good colorwise for the life of me. |

SurfKY News April 2, veteran television meteorologist Wayne Hart will make a special appearance 6 p.m. Thursday, April 11 at the Central City Convention Center.
CENTRAL CITY, Ky. (4/9/14) — As reported bySurfKY News talked to Hart about the event and his view of what type of weather area residents can expect for this spring and summer.
"This will be a class more for the general public and to discuss severe weather awareness," Hart said. "We'll stress that as we get into tornado season, the one thing to remember is, unfortunately, we usually don't see a tornado before it hits. We often get nighttime tornadoes in Western Kentucky. We did have the unusual outbreak of daytime tornadoes back in November, but those were highly unusual. The one that hit on Super Tuesday of 2008 in Muhlenberg County developed in the late afternoon. So again, it was hard to see. You really need to pay attention to television and radio to stay on top of bad weather. Sirens are great, but if you are indoors or around a large amount of noise, you may not hear the siren."
Hart said when comparing preparedness in his coverage area of western Kentucky, southern Indiana and southern Illinois, people in Kentucky seem to be slightly more prepared.
"I think that western Kentuckians have had more than their share of severe weather over the past few years, as compared to the rest of the tri-state," Hart said. "I think people in this area have gotten the message. Bad weather will happen, and you need to have a game plan. A perfect example was the Hopkins County tornado in 2005. It was an F4 tornado and we had no fatalities. When you look at the record books, it's hard to find a tornado of that magnitude that has not had fatalities."
As far as the future of weather forecasting, Hart said that short-range predicting is getting better.
"Short range weather forecasting is really getting better and better," Hart said. "We are pretty well able now to predict accurately what the weather will be for the next week or two. But when it comes to long-range forecasting, there is still a great deal of work to be done. The snow and ice storms from this past winter are a perfect example. Not many long range predictions showed just how severe the weather was going to be."
There is one bit of long range predicting Hart was willing to make though.
"We will experience an El Nino in the Pacific later this summer going into the fall," Hart said. "This could be a strong one. But it will not be a factor for us in the tri-state until we move into late summer and early fall. The good news is for the short term, it looks like our wet weather is moving out of the area for the immediate future."
Hart is the Chief Meteorologist for WEHT Local and Local 7 WTVW Eyewitness Weather.
The weather preparedness class is free and open to the public at CCCC, 320 Golden Tide Avenue, Central City.
