War On Libya
Massacre in Egypt Hastens Demise of U.S.-Jihadist Alliance
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The secularists and leftists that backed the military's coup in Egypt "cannot escape culpability for Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi's current and future crimes." But the clock is also ticking on the decades-long U.S. strategy to deploy Muslim jihadists as foot soldiers for imperial objectives in the region. The unholy alliance will shatter – and usher in the Mother of All Blowbacks.
The Military Coup in Egypt: Requiem for a Revolution That Never Was
by Ajamu Baraka
In the two-and-a-half years between the ouster of Mubarak by the Egyptian military and the ouster of President Morsi by that same military, no revolutionary process occurred. Yet, "the emotional response to seeing hundreds of thousands of people on the streets seems to have created a case of temporary insanity," an imagined revolution in which the "military and the people are one."
Freedom Rider: Support Assata Shakur, At Your Own Risk
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
Thanks to The First Black President and The First Black Attorney General, "the only people safe in speaking of or contacting Shakur are those who mean her harm." To speak of Black liberation, its heroes and history, is a crime of terror. "Barack Obama has made manifest his predecessor's desire to create a truly fascist machinery in this country."
Obama and Romney: Brothers of the Same Imperial Lodge
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Monday's performance by the top presidential contenders turned out to be a grand consensus on foreign policy. "There is not one ray of daylight between the two." Since Obama and Romney have no substantive disagreements, the choice is simple: vote for – or against – the one you think is most competent at waging imperial war. Peace and the rule of law are not options, on either ticket. Welcome to the Imperial Hegemony Dome.
The 4th of July: Indoctrination, Oppression and Hypocrisy
by Solomon Comissiong
"We must reject all forms of injustice, as well as symbols of inequality that have been imposed upon us. The 4th of July holiday," says the author, "is one of those repugnant symbols."
The Butchering of Gaddafi Is America's Crime
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Moammar Gaddafi's last minutes gave clarity to NATO's war in Libya. It is a mission of mass murder and theft of sovereignty through the arming of savages. "The saner sections of America's psychological operations machinery were doubtless as horrified as anyone at the Libyan jihadis' insistence on revealing so graphically to the entire planet the barbaric character of the 'revolution.'" Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's "hands and gums ooze blood – a lasting impression on decent world opinion."
Obama Hosts International Debut for Libya's Racist and Thoroughly Non-Revolutionary Regime
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The United States and the corporate media would have you believe that President Obama and the U.S. corporate media are celebrating the triumph of a "revolution" in Libya. But there was no revolution. "'Revolutionaries' – African revolutionaries – do not name their fighting units 'the Brigade for Purging Slaves, Black Skin.'" And they have not yet triumphed. "The armed conflict in Libya "has been an imperial project from the very beginning," and the people know it. Obama is working from an old playbook, deploying "Islamists to wage war against non-compliant secular regimes and movements in the Muslim world."

Q&A With Gluten-Free Cookbook Author Elizabeth Kaplan
by Healthy Eats in Gluten-Free, May 30, 2012Q: What inspired you to start your business, The Pure Pantry, and later develop a cookbook?
A: When I was diagnosed with celiac disease ten years ago there were very few good-tasting gluten-free products on the market. Since my children and I are also allergic to dairy and my son is allergic to nuts, nut flours, beans and bean flours, it was difficult to find products, such as pancake mixes, cake mixes and cookies mixes, that were free of all allergens. So I began creating my own at home and that's where it all started.
The cookbook, Fresh from Elizabeth's Kitchen: Gluten-free & Allergy-free Recipes for Healthy, Delicious Meals, was born out of my true love and passion for cooking and baking. Ever since I was a little girl I have been experimenting in the kitchen, creating my own recipes and collecting cookbooks. Many of the recipes in the book are re-vamped childhood favorites that I used to bake for my family and for the many baking contests I entered as a girl. I wanted to share my collection of recipes with others who may need some inspiration in the kitchen since gluten-free cooking and baking can be a challenge.
Q: Can foods be gluten-free and still taste good?
A: Of course! Developing good-tasting gluten-free recipes has been my focus for the last 10 years.
The fun part of this challenge is doing recipe "make-overs" and serving them to people who don't have to eat gluten-free to see if they notice that the gluten is missing. For example, I often make homemade cakes or cupcakes and serve them at birthday parties and office parties. I usually do not disclose they are gluten free. They disappear in seconds and no one knows the difference!
Q: What are some healthy alternative grains to wheat and how do you bake with them?
A: I love cooking with quinoa and baking with quinoa flour, almond flour, brown rice flour and chia seeds or flour. I have created a gluten-free flour blend that gives you some flexibility in what you add. The base for it is brown rice flour, potato starch flour and the third grain can be millet, quinoa flour, almond flour, etc. Baking gluten-free is a challenge but by blending various gluten-free flours, you can get a wonderful and healthy result.
Q: What types of foods are most challenging to create a gluten-free alternative? Do you have some recipes that you are most proud of because of this?
A: The most challenging recipe to create was a gluten-free/dairy free Banana Coconut Cream Pie. I am most proud of it because I created a dairy-free pastry cream made out of coconut milk that I use as a base for a variety of recipes. I also created a gluten-free graham cracker crust for this pie. When I make it for a dinner party, or just for my own family, every crumb is literally gone in minutes!
Q: Specialty flours and gluten-free products can sometimes be expensive—what are some of your low-cost favorite ingredients?
A: Since we really don't spend a lot of money eating out, I tend to focus on buying best-quality organic ingredients for our family. We avoid prepared and frozen foods and these are quite expensive. Instead, our diet consists mostly of organic produce, grass-fed protein and organic grains. Quinoa is a staple in our house and is very low in cost yet nutritionally dense with protein and fiber. I am lucky that everyone in my family enjoys quinoa. We also eat a lot of lentils in soups and rice & lentil dishes – they are delicious, very high in fiber and low in cost.
Q: How do you cook for an entire family when only certain members need to eat gluten-free?
A: Well, my husband is the only one in our family of 5 who is not gluten free but he goes with the program since I am doing most of the cooking! All of our extended family and friends are used to eating gluten-free at our house and they honestly never complain.
Q: How do you navigate through restaurants and other "outside" foods to feed your family gluten-free foods when you don't have time to prepare something in advance?
A: Eating out has gotten easier over the years, thank goodness! We occasionally go to restaurants that have gluten-free menus and shop at natural food stores that have wonderful things to go such as gluten-free pizzas, soups, roasted chicken and grilled vegetables. We do not eat at fast food restaurants but occasionally will order Mexican food to go.
Q: What is one of your own family's favorite gluten-free recipes?
A: Everyone in my family has their favorites. My daughter loves quinoa and her favorite thing is my Quinoa Tabouli recipe, my middle son's favorite is Apple-Cinnamon Crepes, and my youngest son loves Blueberry-Oat Pancakes with Blueberry-Agave Syrup. My husband adores anything I make but his favorite dessert is Sticky Toffee Pudding with Warm Caramel Sauce. The recipes for these are all in my new book.
Q: How do you educate your family on gluten-free living? Do you cook together? Shop together?
A: My children have been raised gluten-free so they are completely used to it. My youngest son was saying "gooten fwee" when he was 18 months old! We bake together frequently and the kids love to shop at the farmers' market with me. My daughter who is now 16 helps with the family business at food shows and assists in my cooking classes. She is an excellent baker. She hears me speaking all the time about gluten-free living and has absorbed so much information. Young people love speaking with her because she is very comfortable with sharing her knowledge about gluten-free recipes and tips.

"Good Cigaro cigaro cigaro"
Good cigar, gets a little heavy at the end but if you're into long burning smokes with a bit of a punch, this is it.
Doug in St Cloud MN June 28, 2013
This is a full bodied powerhouse. Its a perfect 10! Doesn't taste like "coffee" or "nuts" or "chocolate"; it does however, taste like a great cigar. The grocery store sells coffee and nuts for about the same price (paid 3.99) but I'll stick with this instead. Nope, no "nutmeg" here just mind-blowing, billowing clouds of aromatic first and second hand smoke. I think Oliva must have a secret crop of magic leaves set back just for these cigars. Maybe they are laced with crack, whatever it is, it works very well!

RAILFAN GUIDES of the U.S.
Todd's Railfan Guide to
Roanoke has always seemed to be one of those "lost railfan paradises". Even in this "one railroad" era, there are plenty of things to see and do between downtown, this area on the south side, the main NS yard on the west side, and Salem and Christiansburg to the southwest..
In addition, less than 30 miles to the east in Bedford, is the most impressive war memorial I have ever seen, and I live in an area with probably more memorials than any other part of the country that includes Gettysburg, DC, Philly, and Baltimore!
This map covers the south side of Roanoke, which includes JK Junction, the ex Virginian yard now named "South Yard", and the NRHS storage area in an industrial park off 9th.
As always, if anyone has additional info, pictures, etc to contribute, please check out my contact page here
Below, 1925 USGS map of Roanoke, from the Univ of Texas Collection: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/topo/virginia/
Below, 1888 USGS map of Roanoke, again, from the Univ of Texas Collection
1 JK Tower
JK Tower was not always JK Tower. Apparently, in the pre-merger days between the VGN and the N&W, it was known as the Walnut St. Tower. Gordon H of the Yahoo Virginian Group informs us that on the N&W TT #18, dated 2/19/61, it is referred to as Walnut St. On timetable #23, dated 10/31/65, it is called JK. The tower was originally a two-story wood building, and was quite an extensive and complex pipe interlocking plant!
The picture of NS SD40-2 # 6087 at the diamond before the second track and signals were removed is used by permission of JL Scott, click here for the picture on railpictures.net, and a way to his other photos of the area. The picture was taken on 9/22/96 from the Walnut St overpass... great shot!
The other shot was passed onto me by Doug Harris, and I am grateful he decided to share this great photo with us all. Take the time to absorb all of the differences from the current photos! Click here for a great PDF map of the JK area from 1931, also passed onto me by Doug.... it's a great map, and shows the streetcar tracks and the close proximity of the carbarn and shops to the crossover in addition to the railroads. It's about a 1 meg download.
2 the Virginian Rwy Depot
The Virginian Railway Passenger Station was built in 1909. 1909 is also the year that the VGN completed it's track from Deepwater WV to Sewells Point in Hampton Roads VA (Norfolk). Trains were running between Roanoke and Deepwater in February of 1909, and in June, service began to Norfolk. Passenger service was discontinued in the mid-50's, shortly after the N&W dieselized its fleet. The N&W leased the VGN in 1926, and in 1959, the VGN was merged into the N&W. In january of 2001, the depot was damaged by a fire, and has been in it's present state since then. The NRHS is supposed to be starting a massive remodeling project soon to completely restore the station.
The address of the station is: 1402 Jefferson St., Roanoke VA, 24016.
The station is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
3 South Yard
South Yard serves mostly as a holding yard for eastbound coal drags headed for Norfolk, via Petersburg and Chesapeake. The east end of the yard is adjacent to the Virginian depot above.
4 NRHS Storage Yard
Lots of goodies waiting for your help to restore in the NRHS yard! Among them are the "lost" steam engines of Roanoke.
5 Franklin St Overpass, formerly VGN and then N&W, still marked with N&W Rwy
6 The Roanoke Star
The signals at JK are actually pretty boring, the only interesting ones to note are the two signals on the single track N&W line where the head moves up and down to facilitate bulb replacement. The first time I noticed this style was back in 1996 when visiting UVa in Charlottesville VA. As noted on the map, the ex Virginian track used to have searchlights bore being acquired by the N&W in 1959. According to Jeff Hawkins, there are some VGN searchlights still standing in the Norfolk area of Virginia, and the Princeton-Deepwater District in West Virginia.... roadtrip.

A forage harvester chops lime-treated corn-stover windrows.
Lime-treated corn stover can reduce feed costs when substituted for corn silage and/or corn grain in livestock rations. But producers need to plan the treatment carefully to make sure it's done safely and effectively.
So said Dave Combs, University of Wisconsin dairy scientist, who treated and fed stover in a research trial and discussed the topic at the recent Midwest Forage Association, Wisconsin Custom Operators and Professional Nutrient Applicators Conference.
At a cost of $20-30/ton, he said lime treatment can substantially improve stover's digestibility, increasing its energy content. The treatment involves chopping stover to 3-6" particle lengths, adding calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide at 5% of the stover's dry weight, adding water to bring the dry-matter content down to 50% and storing the mixture for five to seven days.
Calcium oxide, also called quicklime, is used most often. It converts to calcium hydroxide when water is added, but that can cause a violent reaction if not done carefully. Also, quicklime dust reacts with perspiration, causing irritation and burns. If inhaled, it may burn the respiratory tract, and eye tissues may be damaged if the dust gets behind contact lenses.
"You haveto be very, very careful if you're going to use this material," Combs cautioned. "Most people are moving toward a slurry and making a wet material to avoid the dust."
Dry hydrated lime is less caustic and easier to work with, he said.
When dry baled stover is treated, significant amounts of water are needed to create the 50%-dry-matter finished product. In Combs' research, a tub grinder was used to process bales that averaged 1,055 lbs and were 90% dry matter. More than 100 gallons of water were added to each bale, along with 50 lbs of lime. If 50 tons were treated, more than 10,000 gallons of water would be needed, he pointed out.
"You aren't going to do that with a small water hose," he said.
Less water is needed when stover is windrowed shortly after the grain harvest, treated in the field and chopped by a forage harvester. If harvested shortly after high-moisture corn is combined, the stover may already be 50% dry matter.
"Getting enough water on this material is one of the real challenges," said Combs. "So if it can be done immediately behind the combine, you can save yourself a tremendous amount of water."
One treatment method is to drop dry lime onto the windrows using a fertilizer spreader, then follow with a water tank if water is needed.
Treated stover is typically stored in a bunker or silage bag. If put in a bunker, it should be packed to exclude oxygen, and with either storage method it probably will begin to ferment. But it's the chemical reaction, not fermentation, that improves digestibility, Combs noted.
Lime treatment breaks up bonding in the stover's cell walls, making the fiber more accessible to rumen microbes, increasing digestibility. Research at Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska revealed that treated stover can substitute for some of the corn grain in beef cattle rations.
Iowa State workers found that a 2:1 ratio of distillers grains and treated stover can replace up to half the ground corn in feedlot diets. In Nebraska, lime-treated stover replaced 10-15 percentage units of corn in backgrounding and finishing diets without affecting dry matter intake, daily gains or feed efficiency.
"So it looks very, very promising on the beef-cattle side," said Combs.
In a Purdue University study with dairy cows, milk production held at 65 lbs/cow/day when treated stover replaced a portion of the ration corn silage. But dry matter intake and milk production dropped in a recent Wisconsin study evaluating treated stover as a corn grain replacement for cows producing about 100 lbs of milk/day.
While treated stover looks less promising for dairy cattle, Combs thinks it may work for lower-producing cows or heifers, especially if it replaces corn silage.

Pertussis vaccine is in greater supply at Rite Aid stores in California following a surge in reported whooping cough cases in the state.
Retail News Breaks
CAMP HILL, Pa. – Pertussis vaccine is in greater supply at Rite Aid stores in California following a surge in reported whooping cough cases in the state.
Rite Aid said Thursday that it has increased supplies of the Tdap booster vaccine at all of its 578 drug stores in California locations after the California Department of Public Health reported that the number of pertussis cases has reached "epidemic proportions."
So far in 2014, 3,458 cases of whooping cough have been reported in California, more than were reported all of last year, according to state officials.
Rite Aid certified immunizing pharmacists in California can vaccinate patients age 3 and older against whooping cough. Tdap vaccines are available during pharmacy hours on a walk-in basis.
Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease and is especially dangerous for babies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that about half of whooping cough patients under one year of age need hospitalization and that getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the infection.
Rite Aid added that while young children usually get the pertussis vaccination from their primary care providers as part of a regular vaccine schedule, the CDC recommends a Tdap booster dose between ages 11 and 12; people who didn't receive a Tdap booster dose at those ages should receive one as soon as possible. The Tdap immunization also is recommended for women who are pregnant as well as for health care professionals and anyone having close contact with a baby younger than 12 months, including grandparents, family members and child care providers.

THE two things that golfers want are sunshine and good golf courses and where better to find both than in Tenerife, the land of sunshine.
In the past year I have discovered the delight of golfing on this wonderful island and I have come to the conclusion that Irish golfers are mad not to head to such a fabulous golfing destinations where sunshine is guaranteed all year round.
I had to admit I no idea that there was such a plentiful supply of excellent courses scattered throughout this sun island.
I stayed in the lovely boutique Sir Anthony five-star hotel which is part of the Mare Nostrum complex on Tenerife's south coast.
The hotel which is ideal for couples and adults is located by the sandy beach of Playa del Camisón, it is only a few minutes' walk to bars, shops and restaurants.
The hotel has just 72 beautifully appointed luxurious rooms and suites with many surprise features.
I just loved the fact that I could enjoy the sunshine in the gardens and on the garden terrace with a glass of wine.
And with access from the hotel to the promenade and beach I was able to walk off the excesses of excellent food and wine.
[singlepic id=144 w=320 h=240 float=left]
Families will definitely find the four larger hotels in the group, which are close by, have wonderful facilities to cater for all ages.
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and is an island of two parts.
The south is the tourist mecca with Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos the most popular resorts with sizzling nightlife and great restaurants and bars.
The north of the island is much more lush with woodlands, magnificent banana plantations and wonderful beaches.
The island is an exciting exotic place with giant cliffs, black sand beaches and volcanic landscapes all dominated by the giant volcano Teide and its national park.
It is indeed the island of eternal spring, a nature lover's paradise and a sun seekers heaven.
It is truly the last of the European paradise isles offering lush forests, exotic flora and fauna, mountains, volcanoes and magnificent coastlines and beaches.
But I went to Tenerife to play golf on a Canary Island for the first time ever and I certainly wasn't disappointed by the quality and challenge of the courses while the 19th holes did not disappoint either.
Everyday, because of the weather, is a golfing day in Tenerife which has 9 magnificent courses.
I got to play three while there and my favourite was the Coste Adeje course which is challenging with an impressive 27 holes from the mountains down to the sea.
[singlepic id=145 w=320 h=240 float=right]This course which has hosted both Ladies and Men's Spanish and Tenerife open championships was built on an old banana plantation so terraces and low stone walls have been retained on the course.
Located in the south of the Island overlooking the sea this spectacular course was designed by Jose Gancedo and opened in 1998. It is hard to believe that it is so relatively new as it has a maturity that belies its age.
A feature of note is the fact that the black sand bunkers have been replaced with white silica sand from Cadiz.
This course has a large colonial clubhouse ideal for those visiting the 19th hole and a 45,000 sq metre driving range on three levels with all mod cons including even a lift for the buggies.
The next challenge was Golf Del Sur which is an absolutely stunning course with wide fairways and challenging water hazards which weave around ravines and volcanic sand traps.
Dipping towards the sea, the views are simply breathtaking from many of the greens.
This course has a number of difficult holes most notably the 3rd par 5 and the 4th which is a par 4 on the northern part of the course.
The wide fairways are surrounded by a variety of natural flora making it a real oasis overlooking the sea. The impressive ravines provide a spectacular and colourful backdrop of massive coloured rock for many of the holes.
"Pebble Beach"
We headed up to the northern part of the island to another must play course, Tenerife's own "Pebble Beach" Buenavista.
The journey while long passed amazing banana plantations, and wound its way through mountain passes with awesome sea views. If you decide to hire a car and explore the island a trip up here is not to be missed.
The course which was opened in 2003 was designed by Spain's favourite golfing hero Seve Ballesteros.
Located on a cliff top, this course built on nature's groundwork of the Teno mountain range is flanked by the impressive Teno Country park and overlooks the Atlantic.
Tenerife is easily reached with Aer Lingus operating regular flights from Dublin and Cork. If you book well in advance or avail of the many offers the national airline has during this its 75th anniversary year, you can get to the sunshine island easily. Aer Lingus always make the effort to ensure that its passengers are comfortable and receive the best attention on board so do check the website for schedules to Tenerife.

Prepare to hear Michael Jackson songs like you've never heard them before
By Chris Richards
If you follow Click Track's David Malitz and I on Twitter, (follow us!), you know how we feel about the exquisite sound at U Street Music Hall. The recently opened dance club boasts the finest P.A. system in the city, pumping bass frequencies so deep, so pure, they feel almost religious.
Nowadays, when it comes to dance music, I feel like I haven't really heard a song until I've heard it at U Hall. And that should make tonight's event at the club, located in the basement of 1115 U St. N.W., all the more fascinating.
Local music website True Genius Requires Insanity is hosting "Michael Jackson is Still Alive" -- five hours of DJs pushing Jackson's storied discography through the speakers. DJs include locals Harry Hotter, Chris Nitti and D Painter, Baltimore's James Nasty and Delaware's DJ Bis.
The event runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. tonight and is totally free. For more information, check out the U Street Music Hall website right here.

Who can you trust?
It's getting more and more disheartening as I realize we're living in a world where it's getting hard to trust people. For example, the recent media blitz about Alex Rodriguez using steroids.
SCC Sports Information
The wind was howling, the mercury remained around freezing and some overnight ice threatened one of the weekend games between St. Catharine College and visiting Indiana University Northwest from Gary, Indiana.
But Luther Bramblett's Bat Pats made the chilly temperatures a little more bearable at Edelen-Haydon Field by swinging some hot bats in a three-game sweep of the Redhawks who were in action for the first time this season. Saturday saw the Patriots sweep a twin bill by scores of 10-0 and 9-6. Sunday they plucked the Redhawks 22-1.
The St. Catharine College softball team has already had three doubleheaders postponed due to inclement weather. And, just as the weather has been up and down, so has Holly Smith's Patriots who are off to a 2-4 start. After getting swept in the season opening DH at Bellarmine, Smith's group responded with a sweep at Alice Lloyd College before losing twice at Union.
The St. Catharine College basketball season ended last Saturday with J.T. Burton's Patriots falling 77-63 at Lindsey Wilson College. That followed Thursday's 78-42 setback at Georgetown giving the Patriots a final record of 5-25 in their first NAIA campaign.

The 2008-09 season came to an end for the Washington County Commanderettes Tuesday night as they fell to Bardstown 54-48 on their home court in the first round of the 19th District Tournament.
Tyler Smith is a rare two sport fall athlete. He is a member of the Highlands state runner-up soccer team and a member of the cross country team. Tyler has been a varsity letterman on the Highlands cross country team for four years. He was a part of the 2006 and 2007 AA Regional 5 championship teams. He was also a part of the 2007 cross country team that placed third at the state meet. He has been a two-year varsity starter and captain on the Highlands soccer team. This year the team made it to the state tournament finals for the first time in school history.
The St. Catharine College softball team ended its junior college status with a bang last year with a regional title and a trip to the national tournament, where they finished in the Elite Eight. Holly Smith, in her fifth year as head coach of the Patriots, sees no reason to not repeat such success with nearly all of her starting lineup returning.
Note: The Washington County Commanderettes began 19th District Tournament play Tuesday night. Results were not available at press time. Please visit www.readthesun.com for up-to-date highlights of all Washington County and 19th District action.
Rival survival
My girlfriend Cindy came into town for a visit over Valentine's weekend, and since I had to work that Friday night, I dragged her along to the Washington County/Marion County basketball double-header at WCHS. We're glad we escaped with our lives!

spring veggie frittata
i used to make a lot of quiches because they are really easy to make ahead of time for lunch leftovers and are a perfect catch-all for any veggies i have in your fridge. but i realized that a frittata is basically a quiche without the crust – even lighter and easier to whip up!
i made this one with a slew of spring veggies, a little of everything that has just popped up at the market in the past few months, but most of which will be around all summer. enjoy with any combination of your own produce.
spring veggie frittata
2 tbsp oil (i used coconut)
1 large shallot
1 small potato (~1/4-1/3 lb)
1 small yellow zucchini (~1/4-1/3 lb)
1/2 bunch of asparagus (~1/4-1/3 lb)
1 c english peas
3/4 tsp fine ground sea salt
5 jumbo eggs (or 6 regular)
1/4 c half and half
preheat the oven to 375F
start by chopping all the veggies. the shallot, potato and zucchini should all be chopped pretty thinly, you can use a mandoline if you'd like but it just takes a minute to do with a knife. the asparagus can be chopped into roughly 1 inch pieces. if using fresh english peas then shell first and measure out one cup – mine are fresh from the farmers' market but i froze them so they are easier to use and won't go bad.
heat up a cast iron skillet (or oven-safe stainless steel frying pan – without any plastic on the handle) over high heat for a minute or two, then add in the oil. i like coconut oil especially with eggs because it keeps a really light flavor, but you can use olive or canola oil too, even butter if you want. reduce to medium heat and add in the shallot, potato and 1/2 tsp of the salt. fry for about 3-4 minutes or until both are soft.
take this time to crack the eggs into a separate bowl, add in the half and half and other 1/4 tsp salt and whisk until evenly incorporated i find that half and half or cream help to get a really fluffy texture from the eggs.
once the shallot and potato are soft, add in the asparagus, peas and zucchini just for a minute to mix in evenly. it doesn't matter if your peas are fresh or frozen because they will mostly cook in the oven. next pour the egg mixture evenly around the skillet, turn the heat up to high for about 1-2 minutes or until the egg mixture begins to bubble up in a few places.
then cut the heat and put the pan directly in the oven. bake for 30 minutes – until the egg is solid throughout and beginning to brown on top. let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
keeps well in the fridge in an air-tight container for 2-3 days.
yields 4-6 servings

Whipping up silky milky (hot or cold) is easy and fairly fool-proof, which we dig — plus, the milk pitcher is dishwasher safe! We've seen a couple of questionable Aeroccinos, so this could be the answer to those that are a little bit too busy to handwash their gadgets.

Aiming to be carbon neutral by 2020, AU is off to a strong start, with 30 buildings on track for LEED Silver certification, a 27-kilowatt solar array, D.C.'s biggest solar hot-water system, and a contraption called the Vegawatt, which turns old cooking oil into electricity. The university's plan is to divert 100% of its waste, and it's already two-thirds of the way there, thanks to a new campus-wide composting program, trayless dining (which reduced food waste by a third), quarterly e-waste drives, and such enthusiastic student participation that AU won last year's national RecycleMania competition. Students also get excited about the annual Campus Beautification Day (shown above), a springtime tradition that brings the AU community together to make the campus greener.

Government will now regulate the Internet
The Federal Communications Commission finally voted yesterday on the much-discussed "net neutrality" rules. The commission voted in favor of the new rules with a 3 to 2 vote along party lines, with Democrats in favor.
Broadband Internet will now be regulated like other public utilities, such as telephone service, under the new legislation. The FCC recently redefined what qualifies as broadband.
Now, the objective of the latest rules is to prevent web content, such as streaming videos and other data-heavy media, from being blocked, or load speeds manipulated, based on a user's Internet provider. Supporters of net neutrality claim the Internet was increasingly being divided into fast lanes, for large providers like Comcast and Verizon that can afford to pay more, and slow lanes for smaller providers.
The division, supporters said, was not only bad for new business but also bad for customers. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler agreed, saying his organization was employing "all the tools in our toolbox to protect innovators and consumers" and uphold the Internet's role as a "core of free expression and democratic principles." Wheeler went on to say that access to the Internet is too important for society to allow service providers to make the rules.
Republicans, however, say the new rules are a classic case of government overreach. An article by David Asman of FOX News said, "Of all the government interventions by the Obama administration, the plan released Thursday by the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet is the worst."
Republican Commissioner Ajit Pai said the new FCC plan is "a massive shift in favor of government control of the Internet…everything from your wireless service plan, to your wire line connection at home."
Beyond just affecting service, the new rules also give the FCC the power to decide what content on the Internet is "just and reasonable" and what is classified as a "threat." It's unclear exactly how these new powers will play out, but many are concerned that a new era of censorship is being ushered in.
Private companies are divided, depending on where interests lie. Large providers like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint are strongly opposed and may file suit against the FCC. Other companies like Netflix and Twitter have pushed for net neutrality to pass.
The FCC has previously appeared to play favorites with private companies. The commission allowed DISH Network Corp. to receive millions of dollars in taxpayer funds that were supposed to be reserved to help small companies compete with large corporations like DISH.
