U.S. asks Israel to do more to protect Gaza civilians
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Thursday called on Israel to do more to prevent Palestinian civilian casualties in its conflict with Hamas militants after four children were killed on a beach in the Gaza Strip.
Even while stepping up U.S. pressure for Israeli restraint, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki reasserted Washington's condemnation of Hamas's "indiscriminate rocket attacks" targeting Israeli civilians and affirmed U.S. support for Israel's right to defend itself.
U.S. drone strikes risk 'slippery slope' to endless war, panel says
WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) – The Obama administration's
reliance on drone strikes abroad threatens to create a "slippery
slope" toward endless war and sets a dangerous precedent that
other countries could follow, former senior U.S. officials said
in a report on Thursday.
The report acknowledged that the armed unmanned aircraft are
a useful tool in the U.S. counterterrorism arsenal and are "here
to stay," but it called on President Barack Obama to allow
increased public scrutiny and tighter oversight for the
secretive program while developing international norms.
Obama sends U.S. military advisers to Iraq as battle rages over refinery
TIKRIT Iraq (Reuters) – President Barack Obama said on Thursday he was sending up to 300 U.S. military advisers to Iraq but stressed the need for a political solution to the Iraqi crisis as government forces battled Sunni rebels for control of the country's biggest refinery.
Speaking after a meeting with his national security team, Obama said he was prepared to take "targeted" military action later if deemed necessary, thus delaying but still keeping open the prospect of U.S. air strikes against a militant insurgency. But he insisted that U.S. troops would not return to combat in Iraq.
In Washington, growing chorus calls for Iraq's Maliki to go
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama came under pressure from U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday to persuade Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to step down over what they see as failed leadership in the face of an insurgency threatening his country.
As Obama held an hour-long meeting with congressional leaders on U.S. options in Iraq, administration officials joined a chorus of criticism of Maliki, faulting him for failing to heal sectarian rifts that militants have exploited.
Insight – Obama faces limited options in Iraq crisis, doubts over air strikes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two and a half years after President Barack Obama disentangled America from a long, unpopular war in Iraq, his options for helping the Iraqi government stave off a militant onslaught are slim as doubts simmer over whether even punishing air strikes would be effective.
He will announce in coming days how far he is willing to go in responding to the crisis in Iraq, where militants are sweeping south towards the capital Baghdad in a campaign to recreate a large mediaeval Islamic caliphate spanning Iraq and Syria.

For fallen soldiers' families, Bergdahl release stirs resentment
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Robert Andrews believes his own son might still be alive if U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl had not gone missing from his Afghan guard post on June 30, 2009.
As Bergdahl emerges from five years of Taliban captivity, former comrades are accusing him of walking away from his unit and prompting a massive manhunt they say cost the lives of at least six fellow soldiers, including Andrews' 34-year-old son, Darryn, a second lieutenant.
Freed from Taliban captivity, Bergdahl's ordeal far from over
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – In 2008, when he joined the army, he was a bookish athlete from rugged Idaho with a passion for fencing. A year later, he was a captive of the Afghan Taliban. Today, he is on the way home, a free man at last.
But a new ordeal for Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, 28, is just beginning.
Held alone for nearly five years, without any contact with fellow soldiers, Bergdahl likely suffered deep psychological scars that could take years to heal, possibly a lifetime, say experts who have studied prisoners held for long periods of time at war.
Legacy at risk, Obama struggles to redefine foreign policy
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama's second term was supposed to be a crowning opportunity to make his mark on the world stage, but instead he's leading an intense effort to redefine his foreign policy record – and the odds look stacked against him.
An administration-wide public relations blitz, which Obama launched with a big foreign policy speech this week, has done little to quell critics who frequently pan his global approach as rudderless, as the White House lurches from crisis to crisis.
Despite Obama's new rules, no end in sight for drone war
WASHINGTON/SANAA, May 23 (Reuters) – When a barrage of
drone-fired missiles hit al Qaeda cells in Yemen in mid-April
and killed dozens of militants, the results were strikingly
different from a mistaken U.S. attack on a Yemeni wedding convoy
just four months earlier.
But even though the drones apparently found their targets
this time, they were still blamed for a number of civilian

The novella is one of those literary forms that I have admired for a long time – a quicker read than a novel but a fuller experience than a short story. In the mainstream publishing world, it appears to be something of a neglected format (although, having said that, in a relatively recent visit to a well-known chain bookstore, I did see a few slim books out on display in the Fiction section which I suppose could be classed as novellas and, as described below, quite a few 'classics' were written as such), with the probable major publisher excuse that 'it doesn't sell very well', or 'there isn't much interest' as to why they're not more widespread, the same explanation for why short story anthologies and collections are but very rarely forthcoming from the big imprints.

Tom, I Can Name That Distro in Two Notes
Everybody loves the wild and wacky names that end up gracing releases of the various Linux distributions throughout the year, even if some of them — we're not going to name names, that might hurt our karma — have gotten a bit more bizarre of late. Among the more interesting processes for picking release names comes from the Fedora Project, where unlike most other distributions, the new name must share a unique link to its predecessor. Its time then to put your thinking caps on, as the race to make that most creative of links is underway.
The method for choosing the the nom de plume for the behatted distro is deceptively simple: The new name must share a link to the old name, and that link must follow the pattern "X is a Y, and so is Z." An example, from the last Fedora name contest: "Cambridge was a ship of the Union Navy, and Leonidas was too." Cambridge (X) was the preceding release name, from Fedora 10, Leonidas (Z) was the winning submission, and the connection between the two was that both were ships in the Union Navy (Y).
Some interesting appellations have been bandied about so far, including our favorite: Ahasuerus was a King present at the Battle of Thermopylae played by Richard Egan in a film, and Leonidas was too. One kink in the system, and the source of our description of the process as deceptively simple, is that obvious links, like "is a place" or "is a word" are disqualified, with preference being given to obscure commonalities referencing interesting topics. The link must be legitimate, it cannot be the same link that was used to pick any previous release name, and perhaps the greatest obstacle, it must be eligible for trademarking. Submitters are obligated to perform a cursory Google search to determine any obvious collisions, while the Red Hat legal department conducts an in-depth investigation before approving the nominations.
The ultimate decision on the new name is left to the Fedora community, though the Fedora Board pre-screens the list to eliminate obvious, illicit, uncreative, or otherwise undesirable before passing it to Red Hat's legal team to slice and dice with the Patent & Trademark Office. The final list, free of thorns and fresh from the lawyers will be presented to the Fedora community for a vote, after which the formal announcement of the new name will be made. Submissions are open through May 23, with vetting by the Board and legal eagles from May 24 through June 8, and the community vote commencing on June 9. The final day of voting will be June 22, with the final name to be announced on June 27.
Submissions are welcome from any member of the Fedora community, provided the have performed the obligatory search and can justify the "is a" link between the two names. Nominations should be made on the Fedora 12 naming page on the Fedora wiki — those seeking a bit more guidance can find the full rules of the process there as well, and anyone looking for past links may find the history of Fedora release names an interesting read.

Thousands of Medicare Part B Providers Abuse the Federal Tax System
GAO-07-587T: Published: Mar 20, 2007. Publicly Released: Mar 20, 2007.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Medicare program, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its contractors paid a reported $330 billion in Medicare benefits in calendar year 2005. Because GAO previously identified government contractors with billions of dollars in unpaid federal taxes, Congress requested that we expand our work in this area to all Medicare providers. This testimony addresses Medicare physicians, health professionals, and suppliers for services related to senior health care, who received about 20 percent of all Medicare payments. Because of limitations in HHS data, GAO was asked to determine if Medicare Part B physicians, health professionals, and suppliers have unpaid federal taxes, and if so, to (1) determine the magnitude of such debts; (2) identify examples of Medicare physicians and suppliers that have engaged in abusive, or potentially criminal activities; and (3) assess HHS efforts to prevent delinquent taxpayers from enrolling in Medicare and levy payments to pay delinquent federal taxes. To perform this work, GAO reviewed data from HHS and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In addition, GAO reviewed policies, procedures, and regulations related to Medicare. GAO also performed additional investigative activities. We plan to report on the results of our work related to other Medicare providers including any needed recommendations later this year.
Over 21,000 of the physicians, health professionals, and suppliers (i.e., about 5 percent of all such providers) paid under Medicare Part B during the first 9 months of calendar year 2005 had tax debts totaling over $1 billion. This $1 billion figure is understated because some of these Medicare health care providers have understated their income and/or not filed their tax returns. We selected 40 Medicare physicians, health professionals, and suppliers with high tax debt for more in-depth investigation of the extent and nature of any related abusive or potentially criminal activity. Our investigation found abusive and potentially criminal activity, including failure to remit to IRS individual income taxes and/or payroll taxes withheld from their employees. Rather than fulfill their role as "trustees" of this money and forward it to IRS, they diverted the money for other purposes. Willful failure to remit payroll taxes is a felony under U.S. law. Further, individuals associated with some of these providers used payroll taxes withheld from employees for personal gain (e.g., to purchase a new home) or to help fund their businesses. Many of these individuals accumulated substantial wealth and assets, including million-dollar houses and luxury vehicles, while failing to pay their federal taxes. In addition, some physicians received Medicare payments even though they had serious quality-of-care issues, including license reprimands and prior suspensions from state medical boards, revocations of hospital privileges, and previous exclusions from the Medicare program. HHS has not issued Medicare regulations or policies requiring Medicare contractors to consider tax debts in making a decision about whether to enroll a physician, health professional, or supplier into Medicare. Further, HHS has not established a policy to obtain taxpayer consent to obtain tax information from IRS as part of its Medicare eligibility decision-making process. IRS can continuously levy up to 100 percent of each payment made to a federal payee--for example, a Medicare physician--until that tax debt is paid. However, HHS is not participating in the continuous levy program and thus the government has not collected unpaid taxes from Medicare payments. In the first 9 months of calendar year 2005, we estimate that the government lost opportunities to collect between $50 million and $140 million by not participating in the continuous levy program.

Soup Can Pencil Holder

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Recycle and old soup can into a pretty Soup Can Pencil Holder using string and a girly felt flower. This recycling craft from Eileen Hull is great for spring, and it costs almost nothing to make.
- Soup can
- String
- Big Shot die-cut machine
- Flowers
- Layers #9 die
- Wool felt
- Large girls's headband elastic
- 2" piece of pipe cleaner
- Mismatched earring
- Glue gun
- Clean out soup can. If you have one of those Pampered Chef can openers that roll the lid instead of leaving jaggedy edges, make sure to use it. Unfortunately I do not have one and proceeded to rip my finger open.
- Dab a tiny bit of glue along the bottom edge of the can and place the end of the string over it anchoring it to the can. Wrap string around the entire can. Keep pushing down on the string so all areas of the can are covered. Dab another dot of glue at the top of the can to anchor the end of the string. (I thought the effect of the string on top of the ridges in the can was really cool. The thicker your yarn or wrapping material, the less you will notice the bumps though.)
- Die cut two flowers from felt. Layer them in size order. Find a pierced earring in your jewelry box that you don't want. Stick the post through all of the layers of the flower. Put earring back on behind the flower.
- Double wrap the headband around the can and use the pipe cleaner piece to secure the headband to the earring.
- Fill can with pencils and place on your desk for a fun touch of spring!

Ellis faces fitness race
ESPNscrum Staff
July 5, 2011
Andy Ellis has been in fantastic form for the Crusaders this term and looks set to be included in the New Zealand World Cup squad © Getty Images
Crusaders scrum-half Andy Ellis faces a race against time to be fit for Saturday's Super Rugby final against the Reds in Brisbane.
The All Black limped off in the 15th minute of last Saturday's semi-final clash against the Stormers following a challenge from Schalk Burger. A leading contender for the All Blacks World Cup squad, Ellis dismissed concerns about his swollen knee but a tender AC joint meant he would have to play through the pain barrier at Suncorp Stadium in the season finale.
"A lot of the guys get it (AC joint injuries) and they carry on playing through a season, Ellis told the NZPA. "You just have to deal with a bit of pain. The first tackle might be a bit tough but after that you're generally OK. I can't do any more damage."
Saturday's clash completes a unique season for the Crusaders who have been on the road for the entire campaign after their AMI Stadium home was damaged during the Christchurch earthquake back in February. The success of the side has helped to lift the region and Ellis is determined to cap it all with the Super Rugby title.
"It's pretty special," Ellis said. "It's (the Crusaders' season) put a smile on a lot of people's faces back home and given a bit of hope. The boys have definitely fed off that and we're not satisfied to just stop here, we're pretty keen to finish off."
If Ellis is ruled out, future Ospreys scrum-half, Kahn Fotuali'i, who produced arguably the game of his season at Newlands, will line up against Wallaby Will Genia. Scrum-half Willie Heinz has joined the squad on standby. Reserve lock Luke Romano, who was diagnosed with chicken pox in Cape Town, was scheduled to join the squad on Wednesday after being released from quarantine.
Crusaders management was hopeful Romano would be able to take his place on the bench as cover for Brad Thorn and Sam Whitelock. If not, former All Blacks lock and veteran Crusader Chris Jack will make one last appearance before he ventures to Japan.

Pawnshops feeling pinched

(Page 4 of 4)
Daniel Feehan gets tired of being asked, "Shouldn't you be thriving?" when he talks about the challenges of growing his business in a down economy.
The CEO of payday lender and pawnshop operator Cash America International Inc. contends that the company behaves much like any other retailer.
When consumers slow their spending, Cash America makes less money, he asserts. In fact, Feehan says his company's customers are among the first to change their behavior when the economy goes into recession.
"They are often the first ones to notice a change in the economy as their hours get reduced, their neighbors get laid off or their access to other forms of short-term credit is significantly curtailed," Feehan said during an April 23 conference call with analysts.
At the same time as its customers are borrowing and spending with less vigor, Cash America and other lenders of last resort are facing mounting legal challenges from their newly energized political opponents. Proposals to curtail payday lending are making their way through Congress, as well as in statehouses in Texas and Illinois.
Faced with profit and regulatory pressures, Cash America and its competitors are emphasizing their pawn shop businesses over the cash advance lines, and pushing to expand into other countries.
A 'psychological paralysis'
On Cash America's conference call, Feehan described a "psychological paralysis" among American consumers: With little reason to believe better days are coming soon, consumers are less likely to borrow and spend.
"My sense today is that the consumer at every level of the socioeconomic scale continues to act with extreme caution, waiting to see how deep and how painful the economic slowdown might become," said Feehan, who could not be reached for further comment.
The largest publicly traded corporation of its kind, Cash America's net income declined 6% in the first quarter from the same time a year ago to $24.2 million on sales of $268.1 million.
Texas is something of a mecca for corporate pawnshops and payday lending chains. In addition to Fort Worth-based Cash America, Texas is home to First Cash Financial Services (based in Arlington), ACE Cash Express (based in Irving), EZCorp Inc. (based in Austin) and ThinkCash Inc. (based in Fort Worth).
Further, Plano-based rent-to-own retailer Rent-A-Center Inc. offers cash advances and related financial services in 351 of its 3,000-plus stores.
Executives at First Cash and ACE Cash Express couldn't be reached for comment.
Regulatory challenges mount
While EZCorp (NASDAQ: EZPW) and First Cash (NASDAQ: FCFS) reported stronger first-quarter performances, neither had to contend with the regulatory changes that affected Cash America (NYSE: CSH).
Last year, Ohio, Minnesota, Florida and Pennsylvania passed restrictions on payday lending that translated into fewer customers and less revenue for Cash America. First Cash and EZCorp., by contrast, didn't operate in those states.
In Texas, a group of bills targeting unregulated financial services would regulate more closely payday and other lenders.
The reformers are looking to require lightly regulated financial service providers, including payday lenders, to be licensed by a state regulator and report on their activities to the state, said Don Baylor, a senior analyst at the Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin, which is backing the initiatives. Baylor said advocates of that proposal aren't asking for much by asking for the uniform licensing.
"In order to fix a toilet or cut hair, you have to have a license in this state," he said.
The Texas Association for Business, which has payday lending and pawnshop companies as members, is opposed to the change.
"These businesses play a legitimate needed role in the Texas economy," said association President Bill Hammond.
The fees associated with a cash advance will look small compared with bounced check fees or the cost of reconnecting electrical service if you can't afford to pay your light bill, he said.
In Washington, Congress is considering bills that could lead to national regulation of short-term cash advances.
"The timing of all this, given everything else we've seen, couldn't be worse," said Liz Pierce, a senior analyst with Roth Capital Partners who follows Cash America and First Cash.
But at the same time, the push for reform seems to stem some from the economic crisis, she notes. Cash advance lenders have been grouped with other flavors of lenders that helped consumers borrow more than they could repay on credit cards and exotic mortgages.
"If we weren't in the mess we're in, (the companies) wouldn't be in the line of fire," she said.
Depending on the final shape of those bills, a short-term challenge in the industry could benefit Cash America long-term because it could weed out some of the industry's weaker players, Feehan said on the call. Any regulatory change at the federal level would cut into the profit margins for all payday lending firms, and smaller companies would have a more difficult time adjusting to the new regime and rebuilding their profit margins.
Opportunities in Mexico
Faced with profit and regulatory pressures, Cash America and its competitors are emphasizing their pawn shop businesses over the cash advance lines and expanding in other countries.
In 2008, First Cash Financial opened 64 pawn shop and cash advance stores in Mexico and eight in the United States. In 2009, the company plans to open 55 to 60 Mexico locations and only two to five in the United States.
First Cash executives didn't return calls, but in a February investor presentation, First Cash noted that it had no plans to expand its cash advance business.
First Cash began opening pawn stores in Mexico in 1999, and is now the second largest pawnshop operator there.
Cash America in December acquired an 80% stake in Prenda Fácil, a privately owned chain of pawnshops in Mexico. Following its acquisition, Cash America planned to open in 2009 at least 50 new locations in Mexico to the chain, which had 100 stores when it was bought.

'Those delaying work were the ones seeking commissions'
O. Rajagopal, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Union Minister of State, said here on Wednesday that the higher political leadership in the United Progressive Alliance government and the State government was behind the delaying of the Kochi Metro project.
At a press conference here, he said those seeking commissions wanted to delay the project and keep it under their control.
Mr. Rajagopal noted that the report prepared by a subcommittee formed following discussions in Delhi on the project had been returned with the suggestion that funding from sources other than the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) should be explored.
This would delay the project. The process to obtain loan from JICA had progressed.
Limited role
The Chief Secretary had told the subcommittee that the role of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) might be limited to tendering.
The DMRC was to be excluded from selection of technology, design and management.
The Chief Secretary would not have communicated such a stand to the subcommittee without the knowledge of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
He said there was organised conspiracy behind undermining the proposal for implementation of the project by the DMRC under supervision of its Principal Adviser, E. Sreedharan.
Though officials might be responsible for the situation as doubted by Mr. Sreedharan, they would not be doing so without political backing.
Powerful backing
Mr. Rajagopal said if Union Minister of Urban Development Kamal Nath was standing in the way of the DMRC taking up the Kochi metro project, it could be only with the backing of more powerful persons.
Hurdles were being created despite Union Defence Minister A.K. Antony pressing for implementation of the Metro project by the DMRC and Mr. Sreedharan.

Twice a year on the long Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, Packwood Washington comes alive with a huge flea market that takes over the entire town for three days as well as private homes having yard sales for miles each way. This is private property owned by Steve (number above) with a huge level field that the family allows everyone to camp on, in RV's right behind the big event. No hookups, some general courtesy rules and porta potties and dumpster provided. East end of town, turn right at intersection of Shell gas station and Snyder, turn right at 114 Snyder at the first long driveway. Funky and fun weekend with huge crowds at the markets and many RV'rs make this a destination weekend. We camped at Packwood Flea Market Snyder Rd in a Motorhome.Undo

Brian Kelly spelled it out this week: tempo was the theme of his first year, but disposition is his focus in season two.
'Most of our scripting has been focused on running the football, play-action, and then defending the run,' Kelly tad the Chicago Tribune.
'We've called it building a toughness with our football team this week. We know we can play fast, we know we can spread it out and do those things. Now we want our guys focused on toughness as a football team.'
Hey, Brian Kelly, Tommy Rees, not Dayne Crist, should start at quarterback for Fighting Irish
Notre Dame's Brian Kelly needs to name his starting quarterback because it's Dayne Crist
No surprise as Notre Dame's Brian Kelly reinstates Michael Floyd
'I liked what we did as an offensive unit running the football. We're going against a very stout defense. When I look at our ability to run the football, I'm judging it knowing that we showed we can play really good run defense. The defense flew around and played physical. I liked the way we ran the ball and the way we flew around on defense.'

Food; Fire and Rice
By Molly O'Neill
Published: August 29, 1999
Fire is the ever-present variable in the calculus between the raw and the cooked. It dictates whether food will be done to a fine turn or charred to an ash.
Learning to play with fire is like learning to dance with the kitchen gods. By varying fire's milieu, using it either directly (as in grilling) or indirectly (as in boiling or frying), the cook modulates its effect. A good cook is someone who knows how to temper fire through a balance of instinct and practice. The best chefs, of course, understand the limits of human control over the elements.
Consider the case of fire and risotto. Unleash heat directly into liquid and Arborio rice and eventually you'll be looking at a pasty mess. On the other hand, if you first heat the rice in a soupcon of butter or oil, its grains will toast and thereafter absorb hot liquid differently, each one remaining discrete but tender while its mass becomes creamy and divine.
Toasting grain in oil or butter is a form of dry heat, since no liquid -- be it wine, water or stock -- is used. This method lightly seals the exterior layer of the grain, which can, nevertheless, still absorb ambient heat and release its internal moisture. Then when hot broth, wine or water is added, each grain seems to cook as much from the inside out as from the outside in.
While no other grain will reward skillful fire play in the same way as risotto rice, most will become better than imaginable under the ''toast first, bathe later'' regime. Different sorts of rice -- the fragrant kalijira from Bangladesh as well as the short-grained red rice of Bhutan -- tend to become glutinous and dowdy when boiled or steamed. But pan-toast rice before adding hot water or broth, and each grain will wear its distinction proudly, with the dish as a whole achieving a full, nutty fragrance.
Bulgur wheat is another grain that can turn into a glob of sloppy starch or an arresting pilaf, depending on how it is handled. When simply boiled in water or broth, bulgur coarsens into a brownish version of cream-of-wheat cereal. But toast the rough-cut grain in olive oil and then allow it to absorb chicken stock a little at a time, and the nutty quality of the wheat blooms. Cooked this way, bulgur can serve as a full main course or, along with grilled food, as a replacement for pasta, rice or potatoes.
Quinoa also needs a tender touch. This grain can become both mushy and rather bitter when boiled, but lightly browned in butter and slowly hydrated with boiling broth, it develops a hint of almond and a smooth, buttery flavor. Unlike risotto, which takes on a creamy sheen when stirred vigorously, most other grains evolve into sticky, starchy clumps if they are stirred as if there were no tomorrow.
A smart cook, having channeled the fire and varied its effects first through oil and then liquid, will soon glean the benefits of the judicious fork. Stirring lightly and fluffing, rather than beating the grain as it cooks, is an art in itself. It also provides heat of a different kind. Call it elbow grease lite, if you will. But in the kitchen, it always works.
Bulgur-Wheat Risotto
5 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups bulgur wheat
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
1. Place the stock in a pan and keep just below a simmer over low heat. In a risotto pan (or a heavy, deep skillet) set over medium-high heat, heat the butter and oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it's translucent. Add the bulgur and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the wine. Cook, stirring, until all the liquid has evaporated. Add 1 cup of hot stock to the risotto pan and continue stirring until all the liquid has evaporated. Repeat with 3 more cups of stock, letting the liquid evaporate between additions. Taste the risotto to see if the bulgur is cooked; it should be tender with just a bit of chewiness. If it is still too hard, continue adding stock a little at a time and stirring until it is done.
3. Remove risotto from the heat and stir in a final 1/2cup of stock, the cheese and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Yield: 6 side-dish servings.
Kalijira-Rice Risotto With Shrimp And Mussels
5 cups fish or chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon saffron threads
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
2 cups kalijira rice (''baby basmati'')
3/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound small or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
16 mussels, well scrubbed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons chopped thyme.
1. Place the stock, saffron and thyme in a saucepan and set it over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat and keep it just below a simmer.

Pomona Unified School District
Los Angeles County, California ballot measures
Local ballot measures, California
Three seats on the School Board for Pomona Unified School District were up for district wide elections that were held on November 5, 2013. Roberta A. Perlman, Adrienne D. Konigar-Macklin and Andrew S. Wong defeated John Mendoza for three at-large seats.
About the district[1]
Pomona underperforms the rest of California when measured on the basis of median household income, percentage of residents living below the poverty level, percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a bachelor's degree and percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a high school diploma. The median household income in Pomona was $49,661 compared to $61,632 for the state of California. 14.1% of Pomona residents aged 25 years and older attained a bachelor's degree compared to a 30.2 in California. The US Census also showed the poverty rate in Pomona was 15.7% compared to 14.4% for the entire state. The US Census also found that 63.0% of Pomona residents aged 25 years and older attained a high school degree compared to a 80.8% in California.[2]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one- or two-tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[5] This Ballotpedia page provides a more detailed explanation of how the Census Bureau handles race and ethnicity in its surveys.
Method of board member selection
Pomona Unified School District School Board consists of seven members, all of whom are elected to four year terms. All board members represent the district at large. Board member terms are staggered so that at least two members, but no more than three are to be elected each odd numbered year on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. There are no primary elections. Three seats were up for election on November 5, 2013. The two remaining seats are up for election on November 3, 2015.[6]
- Adrienne D. Konigar-Macklin
- Incumbent board member
- John Mendoza
- Roberta A. Perlman

What was at stake?
Three at-large seats were up for election on November 5, 2013. Incumbents Adrienne D. Konigar-Macklin, Roberta A. Perlman and Andrew S. Wong filed seeking re-election.
New stadiums
In August 2013, Pomona Unified School District unveiled three new multi-purpose stadiums at Pomona, Garey, and Diamond Ranch High Schools. The $16 million project was completed in three months after groundbreaking took places at all three sites in May. The funding for the project was made possible by 2008 voter-approved Measure PS. The measure stipulated that revenue from the bond measure must be used for school facilities including replacing out-dated infrastructure. Leslie Barnes, Pomona Unified's assistant superintendent for business services and chief financial officer, said "district administrators will not be proposing additional construction projects for some time."[8]

Language of love
How do you express your love for your spouse, apart from the obvious.
Do you hold hands, buy flowers, breakfast in bed..the list is endless.
How do stay consistent with your expression.
I heard an elderly couple chatting in a shop today and I was amazed at how lovingly they spoke to each other. I felt that sort of loving talk was lacking in my life.
The reason I ask ... I have been wondering about my own situation and why, after 30 years, things seem...well...drab.
Ideas please.
I did small things for him, put greetings cards in his lunch for example. One time I put a piece of wax paper in his sandwich and he acted like he didn't notice it when I asked him about it. When he retired all of the greeting cards were in the stuff he brought home from the plant. I encouraged him to buy tools because he was a little bit of a miser, and I knew we could afford it. I went boring places with him that I knew he wanted to go and I knew he wouldn't go alone. I never put him in the middle between his kids and me.
I try to see things from his point of view and embrace all the parts of his personality, even the things about him that I don't like. He is an artist/photographer and bi-polar, so it has been a journey.
For example, when he ruined the dining room chairs to make a tower, I embraced it as a sculpture, not the loss of the chairs.
Sometimes it's scary as heII. Other times I have found that by embracing his world, I have enriched my own. (There is a lot of insanity in my family, so I am not scared by strange or weird behavior. He's not violent or anything. That would be the deal-breaker.)
But back to Popi's question, there is a book out there somewhere called something like 100 Ways to be Romantic. It had a lot of great small ideas for showing your love and affection in everyday ways. Sorry, I don't know the author.
There are some mental problems in my family also and I have found some of them to be dangerous if they go off their meds. A cousin and my niece, my niece told me she was very dangerous if she doesn't take hers. She is one of the rare people that knows she needs them. My sister is schizophrenic which means a distorted mind. She can be looking for something and look right at it and can't see it. Some of the most decent kind people can turn mean when their mind betrays them.
Be careful.

Is this you?
That sucks. :/
can someone please explain why this guy got banned?
your teams a dick
Well, it would appear you failed pretty hard in those matches, but I don't see anything bannable. This appears to be a case of fail tribunal, unless there's some reason outside those two matches that tribunal got to see and we don't.
Edit: Um, why the downvotes? other people saying the ban is unwarrented are getting upvoted. He did fail in those matches... so what exactly did I say wrong?
I don't really see why mr. purple text got the ban hammer.
This should not have been banned whatsoever. Even when he does take jabs at his team, it's VERY minor, and his team is being much worse to him than he is being back. He's reacting. This is ridiculous.
purple text was being a smartass the whole game and he was blaming his teamates, that is not a good combo

For some reason, bans getting served

When did mainstream rap become more relevant than its underground counterpart? Talib Kweli and El-P released self-congratulatory pap this year while Kanye West's sincere, introspective effort sold a million copies in its first week. Now we've got Chamillionaire, whose Ultimate Victory is perhaps the most topical album ever. Though what he's saying doesn't always make sense, it's usually hilarious. "Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump stay arguing about nonsense/They'd treat me as good as Hugh Hef if I had a mansion full of blond chicks/If adultery was a felony, then Clinton would be a convict," he raps on "The Morning News." Later, on "The Evening News," he references Don Imus, Virginia Tech, and Anna Nicole Smith in the same stanza.
Along the way, he celebrates himself for getting rich, selling many ringtones, and traveling to foreign countries. But his nerdy, charming style makes you forgive the braggadocio. Chamillionaire is the rare rapper who avoids beef, and here he name-drops or features in guest spots just about every MC imaginable (UGK, Slick Rick, Krayzie Bone, and Lil Wayne make appearances). While nothing here is as infectious as "Ridin'," the mostly under-the-radar producers' understated beats let Cham's likable flow sparkle.

Garza, a Republican who served as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico from 2002 to 2009, said it's easy to become nostalgic for those times, but he reminds himself that he grew up in a border town of fewer than 50,000 people that has grown into a city of more than 200,000.
The border here is more secure for the massive investment in recent years but feels less safe because the crime has changed, he said. Some of that has to do with transnational criminal organizations in Mexico and some of it is just the crime of a larger city.
Reform, he said, "would allow you to focus your resources on those activities that truly make the border less safe today."
Monica Weisberg-Stewart was born and raised an hour upriver in McAllen. Her father ran a store downtown that she runs today, filled with socks, underwear and jewelry. She echoes Garza's assessment that things feel less safe now but says that has more to do with the area's growth than with what's happening in Mexico.
"I thought that this was definitely the best place to raise my family," she said, "and I still believe that to be true today."
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino points out that drug, gun and human smuggling is nothing new to the border. The difference is the attention that the drug-related violence in Mexico has drawn to the region in recent years.
He insists his county, which includes McAllen, is safe. The crime rate is falling, and illegal immigrants account for small numbers in his jail. But asked if the border is "secure," Trevino doesn't hesitate. "Absolutely not."
"When you're busting human trafficking stash houses with 60 to 100 people that are stashed in a two, three-bedroom home for weeks at a time, how can you say you've secured the border?" he said.
Trevino's view, however, is that those people might not be there if they had a legal path to work in the U.S.
"Immigration reform is the first thing we have to accomplish before we can say that we have secured the border," he said.
NOGALES, Ariz.: In nation's busiest illegal corridor, ranchers scoff at "secure"
Everywhere he goes on his cattle ranch, Jim Chilton has a gun at the ready. He has guns at his front door, guns in his pickup truck, guns on his horse's saddle. His fear? Coming across a bandit or a smuggler on his land northwest of Nogales, Ariz.
Cattleman Gary Thrasher frequently encounters immigrants and smugglers running through his property. Some have showered in his barn. He and his family live in constant dread.
"They really have secured the towns right along the border, but what that does is it drives all the traffic out into the rural areas around here," said Thrasher, a rancher and veterinarian for more than 40 years on the border east of Douglas, Ariz. "It sends the traffic right into our backyards."
The question of border security hits close to home to those who work the land in southern Arizona. It was here, in 2010, that cattle rancher Robert Krentz was gunned down while checking water lines on his property near Douglas. Local authorities have said they believe the killer was involved in smuggling either humans or drugs.
That same year, Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in a shootout near Nogales with Mexican gunmen that brought attention to the federal government's botched weapons-trafficking probe called "Fast and Furious."
"The border is not secure," said Chilton. "Period. Exclamation mark."
Defining "secure border" in Arizona is never easy. Just last week, U.S. Sen. John McCain hosted two town hall meetings on immigration reform in his home state, and was left defending a plan he's been developing.
During a heated gathering in the Phoenix suburb of Sun Lakes, one man yelled that only guns would discourage illegal immigration. Another man complained that illegal immigrants should never be able to become citizens or vote. A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits.

Dilemma with battery charging
I'm posting here because it seems to be the most likely place to get an answer. Let me explain: I'm trying to get my FIL's mobility scooter running so the I can sell it for him (they've moved, he has another powered wheel chair that he uses.) It uses a pair of lead-acid batteries, 24v total. It has an external charger that plugs into the scooter. He hardly used the scooter in about three years, and I doubt he regularly charged the batteries. No matter how long I charge the batteries now, I can't get it to run. The charger always shows a green light, indicating that the batteries are fully charged. I have the manual, but it's poorly written. For a while, there was enough charge to light the headlight and sound the horn. Now, not even that. I suspect that it may be a charger problem, but I could be wrong. It will cost $100 for a pair of batteries, and possibly the same or more for a charger. I doubt that I can take the batteries on trial basis, but I haven't asked about that. Batteries Plus says they carry the batteries. Everything else on the scooter seems fine: connections, etc. Any advise? Thanks.
If you can, bring the scooter into Batteries Plus and let them stuff a pair of their batteries into the scooter. If it fires and you can use it for a few minutes, pay the man and you have a scooter. If not, you should know after a few minutes; B+ can take their batteries back because they're not the problem.
I suspect the batteries are toast. Lead-acid batteries are an ongoing, but slow, chemical reaction. Once the reaction tips too far in one direction, getting it back to equilibrium is pretty much a waste of time and energy.
To follow up, I took the scooter to Batteries Plus and they let me try the batteries. It worked, so I'm good to go. The service at Batteries Plus was very good, as they had to install the two batteries into the battery cases before I could even try them in the scooter. Thanks again, Steve.

Any idea what the firmware fixes?
I'm wondering if you'll have to have the modem in routed PPP mode for it to update.I'll have to find out about this one.
The real question is how do we avoid the firmware update?
I think there was two ways1) on the first telnet screen you should be able to type sysutil xdslmon (this may be more useful to OP since it shows estimated attainable upload rate too)2) type system shellvdslenter password: superikanos (turns out to use the default chipset pw)hit 11 to Request Extended Port Statusctrl^c to exitPS if anyone from Bell's management reads this. Next time you spend millions for a custom product you should request these self-diagnostics are included in the web GUI instead of making the little guy jump through hoops to get them. I saw other ISPs using Sagem with much more elaborate options in the GUI. It's a bit ridiculous why you would exclude something so simple with no harm.
My modem didn't reset during the planned outage window and my About Connection Hub also shows:Firmware Version: FAST2864_v66398Rescue Version: FAST2864_v76398I tried rebooting this morning and it's the same.I'm not sure what the version was before so I have no clue if this is new or not. Anyone know?

MUSIC NEWS- To promote and share their first LP of original songs in eight years 'Modern Blues,' The Waterboys have confirmed an extensive North American concert tour. Waterboys founder and frontman Mike Scott will be joined on all dates by the same musicians who played on the record, including legendary Muscle Shoals bassist David Hood (in his first tour since playing with Traffic in 1972), soul deep Texas guitarist Zach Ernst (Black Joe Lewis, The Relatives), drummer Ralph Salmins (Paul McCartney, Madonna), longtime Waterboys fiddler Steve Wickham, and Memphis keyboardist "Brother" Paul Brown.
Full itinerary is below from MNN. The bands' show last week in London drew 5-star reviews from The Daily Mail, who said; "the sounds was big, warm, and accomplished" and The Times, writing; "distinct echoes of Bob Dylan's lyrical genius".

I picked up a sixer of various New Glarus beers, one called "Organic Revolution." On the label it states that it is "100% bottle fermented."
What is bottle fermentation and how does this work?
Do they literally put a small precise combination of ingredients in every bottle and cap it?
Can an expert shed some light on this for me, because I'm very curious.
It's just naturally carbonated in the bottle:http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/Beers.cfm?BeerID=16
thats all that term means?
here i thought it was some crazy brew technique haha
Naturally carbed means it was carbonated with sugar in the bottle as opposed to the beer being force carbonated by putting it under pressure of CO2.
Lots of breweries do this, it's called Kräusening.
Edit: Kräusening is not the same as adding sugar at bottling.
My glass carboy is a giant bottle.
On deck: Little Bo Pils, Bretta Off Dead (Brett pale)
Secondary: Oude Bruin, Red Sky at Morning (Sour brown ale)
On tap: Saison Duphunk (sour), Amarillo Slim (IPA), Earl White (ginger/bergamot wit)
Bottled: Number 8 (Belgian Strong Dark Ale), Eternale (Barleywine), Ancho Villa (Ancho/pasilla/chocolate/cinnamon RIS), Oak smoked porter (1/2 maple bourbon oaked, 1/2 apple brandy oaked)
yeah this beer is supposed to pay homage to the old ways of doing things so I'm sure thats what they were shooting for.
when i poured it, it was an amber color and had a TON of small particles in it.
Was pretty good though. Kind of bland... but pretty good!
