Sam Tanenhaus: Is Richard Pipes the Godfather of the War on Terrorism?
Over the past two years, the Bush administration has inspired one of the more stimulating scavenger hunts in recent memory -- the search for the Ur-theorist of its bold foreign policy initiatives. With each new turn another name has emerged. "Regime change" gave us the political philosopher Leo Strauss. The "shock and awe" campaign brought forth the Cold War calculations of military strategist Albert Wohlstetter. Hints of follow-up aggression against Syria and North Korea had some consulting Trotsky's writings on "permanent revolution."
A likelier candidate might be Richard Pipes, the eminent historian of Russia who two decades ago interrupted a thriving career as a Harvard professor to help the Reagan administration articulate an assertive foreign policy that strikingly prefigured the "Bush doctrine" of today.
Drawing on themes he first explored as a scholar in the 1950s and `60s -- in particular, the brutal top-down nature of Russian power and its ultimate fragility -- Pipes wrote hardline policy memos that gave impetus to the "second Cold War" of the late 1970s and `80s in which negotiation with the USSR was replaced by political confrontation. His influence peaked in 1981-82 when, as an official at the National Security Council, he helped steer Ronald Reagan toward the belief that the Soviet regime could and must be defeated....
All this history seems to point in one direction. Does Pipes mean to say the "second Cold War" was in fact a rehearsal for the "war on terror"?
He is carefully agnostic on the matter. But the connection is hard to ignore. "If your view is that the problems the United States faces today are analogous to those of the Cold War, that you face an organized opponent with a radically different worldview," says [Russian expert Stephen] Sestanovich, "you can then see some similarities between a comprehensive strategy to get at that worldview that was developed by Pipes during the Cold War and the strategy the Bush administration has developed since 9/ 11."
It is all the more remarkable, then, that Pipes has some misgivings about the most recent application, in Iraq, of the approach he helped formulate. "I think the war was correct -- destroying this invasive evil. But beyond this I think they're too ambitious," he says.
He bluntly dismisses the promise of a democratic Iraq -- "impossible, a fantasy" -- citing obstacles similar to Russia's. "Democracy requires, among other things, individualism -- the breakdown of old clannish, tribal organizations, the individual standing face-to-face with the state. You don't have that in the Middle East. Iraq is tribally run."
What about the constitution soon to be written in Baghdad? Pipes laughs. "Stalin had a wonderful constitution, the most perfect constitution in the world. There's a lot of naivete in that. I should think we'd be satisfied with some kind of stability, preventing Saddam Hussein from coming back. It's fantastic that we haven't caught this man. He sits there somewhere."
It is not lost on Pipes that his criticism goes directly to the judgment of the Bush team, conservatives like himself, in some cases former colleagues, most prominently Team B's own Wolfowitz. "Paul didn't have much education in history," Pipes says. "It's not his field. He was educated as a military specialist, a nuclear weapons specialist. Like most scientists, he doesn't have a particular understanding of other cultures."
The administration official with whom Pipes is most in sympathy is its resident Russian expert, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. "She came to see me after I left Washington in 1983," Pipes says, though he has not heard from her since. Perhaps now that her portfolio has been expanded, the call will come.

His Excellency Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi
Office of the President
Al-Ittihadia Palace
Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt
Fax: +202 2 391 1441
Dear President el-Sisi,
The Committee to Protect Journalists, an international press freedom organization, is writing to express its concern about the climate for press freedom in Egypt and to follow up on meetings we had last month with several high-level officials in your administration.
In February, CPJ staff members met with senior representatives of your government and discussed their concerns about the press freedom environment in Egypt, including the imprisonment of journalists. Engaging with CPJ on this level was a welcome opportunity to start a candid dialogue with your administration.
In our meetings with Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat, Minister of Transitional Justice Ibrahim al-Henaidi, Assistant Minister of Interior for Human Rights Abu Bakr Abdel Karim, and Assistant Minister of Justice for Human Rights Affairs Medhat Bassiouni, we consistently heard that Egypt's new constitution protects freedom of the press and that no journalists are in jail for what they published.
Yet CPJ research shows that at least nine journalists are in jail in Egypt in relation to their work. The journalists have been charged with crimes such as incitement to violence and participation in illegal protests. (The cases, which have been independently verified by CPJ, are detailed in a list we are attaching to this letter.) We would like to discuss these cases with you and ask that you ensure that journalists are not in prison for doing their work, regardless of whether they are members of the journalists' syndicate. We also seek to follow up on the offer CPJ received from Prosecutor General Barakat to visit the prisons where the journalists are being held.
CPJ research shows that at least 10 journalists have been killed since 2011, six of them since the protests that dislodged President Mohamed Morsi. We would like to discuss the progress in the investigations into these killings and ask that you ensure the perpetrators are held accountable through fair, not politicized, trials. (CPJ has also independently verified these cases, which are outlined in a second list we are attaching to this letter.)
Lastly, we would like to discuss with you how the presidency can support a legislative agenda after the election of a parliament, which would implement the protections enumerated in the constitution. More specifically, we are eager to discuss the use of pre-trial detention, anti-terrorism laws, and the protest law against journalists, as well as increasing efforts to censor and surveil the Internet.
As a next step, we will follow up directly with your office with a formal request for a meeting with our board of directors and senior staff members. Separately, we will reach out to the new parliament, once elected, in order to discuss ways to improve the climate for press freedom in Egypt by ensuring all journalists can work freely and safely without fear of retribution.
Our February mission was an important step forward, but it was only a single step. We look forward to our ongoing discussion.

Nairobi, March 3, 2014--A Somali court in Mogadishu on Sunday convicted one journalist of public incitement and two others of publishing false news and imposed harsh fines on them, according to news reports. The journalists are out of prison, but a fourth is still being detained, the reports said.]]>
New York, March 2, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists to ensure the safety of journalists covering the conflict in east Ukraine after photographer Serhiy Nikolayev was reported to have been killed by shelling on Saturday.
The Ukrainian photographer, who worked for Kiev-based daily Segodnya, was covering fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatists when he was killed in the crossfire in the village of Peski, northeast of the major rebel-controlled city of Donetsk, the news agency Reuters reported. Both sides blamed the other for the death, according to news reports.]]>
News agencies, press freedom organizations, and advocacy groups came together this month to address mounting concerns over the hiring and safety of freelance journalists. While dangers to freelancers have always been present, last year international journalists made up nearly a quarter of journalists killed, about double the proportion CPJ has documented in recent years. The murders of freelancers James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and Kenji Goto by the militant group Islamic State prompted an unprecedented collaboration between stakeholders. CPJ is proud to have helped draft guidelines for a global standard that will protect freelancers whom outlets are increasingly dependent on for stories, especially from hostile environments.]]>
February 27, 2015, Mumbai--Bangladeshi authorities should swiftly and thoroughly investigate the murder on Thursday of a blogger in the capital, Dhaka, and ensure the perpetrators are held to account, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Avijit Roy had criticized religious fundamentalism on his blog and had covered secular topics, including free expression.]]>

The new US away kits officially dropped on Monday. It was impossible to miss, with images of the new blue-streaked shirts littered across social media by everyone from Nike, US Soccer, current mens and womens players to blogs, news agencies and randoms alike.
But if you weren't paying that close of attention, you could be forgiven for thinking that someone had instead dropped an atom bomb on the USSF headquarters in Chicago, such was the negative reaction to yet another American soccer decision.
Whether or not it was a majority is up for debate, but it's clear a sizable portion of the American fan base hated the jersey. Their ire seems to be pointed in multiple directions too, with Nike, US Soccer and even Sunil Gulati receiving poignant 140-character tirades since its official release. It was described as "ugly", "effortless" and "unneeded". Some were angry that it replaced the beloved "bomb pop" kit dawned by the US men in Brazil last summer — which, if you recall, also received a fair bit of scorn when it was first released.
Whether or not you like it, I don't really care. I'm a fan. But then again, it's my opinion and we're all entitled to our own. It's all subjective anyway and it's no skin off my back if you don't like it.
But the outrage that followed the new kit release wasn't an isolated incident.

On March 14th, 2015 we will be hosting our 12th annual Las Vegas Prom Closet event. Local high school students will receive free dresses for prom. This new event is partnered again with our great partners at Project 150 and the amazing Zappos.com.
New to this year's event - we'll be adding mens attire to our shopping experience. So ladies, grab your date on the way.
Our event is not possible without our outstanding volunteers who spend the day with us working hard and making dreams come true for so many young men and woman. With the help of over 80 volunteers we were able to provide 500 dresses to local teens last year. We hope to see them all back this year!
What: At Las Vegas Prom Closet we will help you find a gently used prom dress and matching accessories. We have donated dresses available for girls and attire for boys who want to go to prom but don't have the extra money for formalwear and accessories.
When: Saturday, March 14, 2015 from 9am-3pm
Where: Zappos Campus, Downtown Las Vegas, 400 E. Stewart Ave. 89101
For more information feel free to Contact Us!!
Each year we hold a single annual event, Operation Glass Slipper, where area students can pick out a free gentle used or new formal dress and accessories. Our inventory is supplied by the generous donations from the local community. Unfortunately we are not able to provide dresses outside of Operation Glass Slipper due to operational constraints.
We continually collect dresses throughout the year and also at dress drive events closer to our event dates each year. If you are interested in donating your gently used attire (male or female), please see our How To Help page for the current donation center locations.

Love love love this park! Yes, it is in the middle of nowhere and you have to drive an hour to get to the nearest store, but that's part of the charm. Perfect spot to explore the eastern side of the Chiricahua mountains (drive up to Portal and on in towards the forest - you won't regret it). Huge, long spots and even though you are close to your neighbor on one side. There's so much space on the other three sides, you won't care. Beautiful clubhouse area with Koi pond and plants, and cages of parrots. Sky so dark at night you can see the Milky Way.
My 9 year old and 11 year old city kids proclaimed that they would happily live at Rusty's forever. Be aware of the geese, though. They are very aggressive and will chase after you (or your kids). And if you don't like parrots and their squawking, don't get a site next to the clubhouse! We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Fifth Wheel.
The Desert Museum down the road is very interesting and fun!
Date of Stay: December, 2014 - $25.00
You have to love the owner. She is energetic and and enthusiastic. She will give you a map that will take you on a great trip into the Chiricahua mountains. The campground is spacious. The only issue is that the sites are laid-out so that you will have another RV close to you facing the opposite direction, but, in most cases, it will not be an issue unless you have noisy neighbors. The setting is nice with views of the surrounding mountains. The owner has declared that the park is a dark skies park and that you are requested to keep outdoor lighting off and your shades drawn at night. We think that is great and the way all parks should be; thank you! The laundry is clean and very inexpensive. There are only two washers and driers, so plan accordingly. Apparently there are plans to add more. The WiFi is strong and fast. We had good Verizon voice but no data. Satellite was not a problem since there are no trees. This is a great base for visiting the surrounding mountains. We will likely stay here again. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: November, 2014 - $12.00
Very unusual RV park with its spaciousness, beautiful mountain and desert scenery and its peacefulness. You find yourself almost speaking in a whisper so as not to disturb the quiet. Nice walking trails, social events for those who wish to participate, very friendly and helpful owners. Great birding area. Verizon signal excellent, WiFi good most of the time. Definitely off the beaten path but well worth seeking out. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $18.00
An amazing place they created here. Huge sites - beautiful desert and mountains. Way more trees than I expected (the website photo(s) are very very old and not up to date). Wi-Fi was very fast. Super nice shower and laundry facilities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a "Friday Night Happy Hour cookout" for the guests. Will definitely stop here again when I pass though this area. Gas up and stock up before you come. Remote location. Rate reflects a special for 10 nights. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $16.00
(Rate is PA and includes additional electric @ $4.00/night after the first night). We thought it is a great campground. Probably not everybody's cup of tea, but if you enjoy very quiet desert spots this is for you. Some of the darkest nights I've ever seen (in fact, quite a few patrons while we were there were astronomers who actively observed). Pretty much nothing around except a few expansive ranches (and the Chiricahua Desert Museum, with three dozen live desert snakes and lizards on display). Super large sites, with solid full hook-ups and (rather surprisingly) strong Verizon data/voice. The closest full-service grocery store is 45 minutes away in Lordsburg (or an hour away in Douglas); propane, gas and diesel are available in Animas, about 20 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Fifth Wheel.
The Chiricahua National Monument is about two hours away (you have to drive around the mountains to get to it, or through the mountains on a 35-mile dirt road that is impassable during the winter). But there is lots of hiking and birding to be done on the eastern side, including the Coronado National Forest (most use the town of Portal, AZ as a starting point).
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $16.00
Wonderful people! Beautiful views. Spacious sites. Beautiful meditation garden/pool. Huge unleashed dog park. Open desert - tons of trails. Friday night potlucks. Very dog friendly. Very clean and serene. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $24.00
PA for minimum 3 nights. Everything nice about park. Owner and staff top notch. Fairly desolate, come fully stocked. Swim spa nice. Very clean bathroom and laundry. Most spacious spots I've ever seen. We'll definitely be back. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $16.00
The rate is Passport America and includes $8 for electricity. We came to Rodeo to visit a friend, knowing the area was remote. When we asked about campgrounds, Rusty's was recommended. What luck! A great place with huge sites and a fantastic view of the desert and mountains. The area draws bird watchers and amateur astronomers. There is no exterior lighting because it's not needed! The sky is bright by itself and a joy to sky watchers. We will stay here whenever we visit. Make sure you gas up before you leave I-10, and get your groceries as well. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $16.00
We Loved our one week stay here and can't wait to come back next winter for a much longer stretch. The owner's and their parents really made us feel like part of a big family. The fact that it's somewhat isolated and so far away from everything made it more appealing to us because it's uncrowded. During our visit, the water pressure varied between 50-70 psi at our site's faucet. Voltage was stable and good. The park's WiFi was hit and miss. It worked well at times, but at other times was unusable. We reverted to using a Verizon hotspot, which worked well with full LTE service. AT&T cellular and data is extremely weak and unusable here. The nightly price we paid reflects the ongoing Passport America rate which we feel is a great value. We'll Definitely be back! We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $16.00
Rate is Passport America rate. If you're a fan of cookie-cutter, packed-in RV parks, then this gem is not for you. Here you get huge, 1/4 acre sites, dark, dark skies at night, and some of the friendliest people you'll meet on the road. The owners should give lessons on customer care, and the workers and other guests all act like a big family. A few long-term sites occupied by those interested in watching the night sky and bird watching in the nearby Chihuahuas, but none of the clutter so common at other parks. A beautiful garden with fountains is refreshing, and there's a small pool and a pond with resident (and crabby) geese. The Friday potluck was a great way to meet the hosts and other campers, and the food provided by the owners was outstanding. WiFi worked well, there were no obstructions to the satellite, and surprisingly, Verizon cell and data were usable. Try the green-chile cheeseburger at the little cafe in Portal, it rivals the Owl cafe in San Antonio NM as the best ever. Great birding, quiet nights, and outstanding hosts. A great stay, and we, like others that have visited, will be back. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: March, 2014 - $20.00
Surprising gem of a campground in the middle of "no where" and taking full advantage of it. Owners are super friendly and even have a supper party once a week for guests to visit. Nice Laundry on premises. WiFi works. Great stop to camp for birding in the Chiricahua mountains -- wonderful. Desert environment and dark night skies make for a great visit. There is even an above ground swimming pool for summer visitors. We will be back! We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2013 - $12.00
Rate included Passport America discount. Sites are as long as they advertise. Staff friendly and helpful. Fenced in large dog area with garbage can and scooper. Very clean laundry with 2 washers and 2 dryers. Reasonably priced. Wonderfully dark skies at night. Several miles to nearest gasoline or grocery. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2013 - $14.00
Price reflects monthly rate. This park is a gem. The owner is in residence, and pride of ownership shows everywhere. Sites are large and level. Sites are in pairs, but they are long enough that you will not be side by side with a neighbor. The park has nice desert landscaping, but there are also pine trees and some ornamental trees on the property. We came to stay one month and stayed three. All utilities have worked well during our stay, as has wi-fi. Several TV stations are available by antenna. There is a small laundry which is immaculate, and the shower/bathroom is also spotless. There is a hot tub/swim spa, and there are walking trails around the property. There is a Friday evening social, which presents an opportunity to meet fellow travelers. There are beautiful views of mountains all around, and the night sky is breathtaking. There are no lights at night to interfere with stargazing. Noise here is minimal - no trains, an airplane flies over maybe once a week, and we rarely hear any highway noise. The owners of this park work hard to make every guest feel welcome. We have enjoyed our time here, and will certainly choose this park again. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: April, 2013 - $12.00
Easy access. Wide interior roads. Huge sites with fire pits. Views of mountains all around. We stayed a week and used it as a base for exploring the Chiracahua Mtns. Super-friendly owners. Clean. Typical no-grass sites, but desert landscaping is nice. We're from this part of the country, so no grass is not a problem for us. Great little museum -- Chiracahua Desert Museum -- just a few miles south. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: November, 2012 - $16.00
What a find! The owner is the most friendly, helpful host we've ever encountered. The sites are huge for an RV park and there were so few people here that we almost felt like boondocking, except with the comfort of hookups and Wi-Fi. The park is very pet friendly with an enclosed run and walking paths freshly graded so that desert stickers are not a problem. As other have stated, gas, groceries, and supplies involve a drive, but it's worth it to stay in this peaceful place. The owner has been upgrading the Wi-Fi, which worked great for us. No cell service (at least for Verizon or T-Mobile) which is typical for remote areas. We didn't get to see the night sky that others have mentioned, since our stay here occurred during the full moon, but without the moon there are so few lights that it must be awesome. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. We camped at Rusty's RV Ranch in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Don Quichotte du Trocadéro
Beyond the centre
Until Sat May 17 2014
Time Out says
Posted: Fri Apr 18 2014
The name José Montalvo is inextricably linked to that of the Théâtre National de Chaillot. As its resident choreographer, he brings great energy and a sophisticated cultural frame of reference to everything he directs, of which the latest is 'Don Quichotte du Trocadéro' – which returns for a triumphant second run.
More than a mere spectacle, this piece is an homage to the Russian choreographer Marius Petipa, and in particular his seminal 1869 adaptation of Cervantes's novel, which remains a lodestar for classical dancers today. Montalvo, of course, is no stranger to the work, and he brings the contemporary technology at his disposal to update it for the modern stage.
The lonely knight is played by Patrice Thibaud, a performer with multiple strings to his bow: comedian, actor, mime, director and sometime writer, he acquits himself rather well in this multi-faceted role. Far from truly solitary, he's surrounded by a troupe of 13 dancers, each of whom assumes a different style – this may be the only version of 'Don Quixote' that juggles hip hop, circus acrobatics and classical dance all at once. Absorbing video projections and a luminous score from Léon Minkus complete the picture. The cliché is justified: this is a must-see.

Summer has long been the season for disposable entertainments, the time when air-conditioned comfort means more than what flickers onscreen. And "The Skeleton Key" offers sound proof that summer remains as down-market and nutrition-free as ever. One of the most enjoyably inane movies of the season, this faux Southern Gothic offers an embarrassment of geek pleasures: Kate Hudson running around in a T-shirt and underwear, a scenery-chewing villain, intimations of unspeakable evil, slamming doors and equally slamming edits and an introductory course in hoodoo, a folk religion born in the South. All this and Gena Rowlands, Peter Sarsgaard and John Hurt, too, a divine troika who look perfectly content to be neck-deep in so much Spanish moss and hooey. — Manohla Dargis

Upholstered box spring?
I saw this on Pinterest which means it could be a fabulous idea or turn out to be an exercise in futility.
Has anyone tried it? I am tired of rumpled, askew bed skirts but I am afraid that stapled fabric will also be problematic.
Here is a link that might be useful: Upholstered box spring
I think it is a great idea. I usually just use a fitted sheet on the box spring instead of a skirt, but this looks much classier with heavier fabric and being more tailored. I would not however, staple to the top of the mattress, that would never hold. I would cover the entire top of the mattress, sew or pleat the corners and staple it to the bottom wood frame. You could use a cheaper fabric in the middle of the top (the horizontal part) if your fabric is very expensive Thanks for the inspiration!
You can buy box spring covers. I have white bed-bug prevention cases on mine, not to prevent bed bugs on box springs but because I had them and they work!
Garnet Hill has a nice Matellase cover too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Linen Box Spring cover - West elm
A fitted sheet, actually two twin fitted sheets for my king split-box springs worked well. The sheets were made from the same fabric as my comforter, although a coordinating fabric would be nice as well.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gobble it up!
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can talk turkey to celebrate Father's Day
There are, no doubt, a few dads around Winnipeg who feel that they've already had their Father's Day, what with the return of the NHL and all.
But for those who are not necessarily hockey fans, and for those who are but still insist they are entitled to the day, the opportunity for annual acknowledgment has arrived.
Whether or not a sports jersey is on the gift list, you'll have to plan a celebratory meal (or two). Dialling out for something isn't going to cut it. It smacks of rushing out the kids out the door for a soccer game. Your best game plan is something homemade and delicious.
With that in mind, a little step away from the ordinary might just be the thing. And the thing this year is turkey.
I've chosen three different meal options for your Father's Day menu. If dad is an early riser and likes a hearty breakfast, you can treat him to a turkey frittata. Be sure to serve an elegant glass filled with a mimosa (champagne and orange juice). It's always nice to finish a big breakfast/brunch with a hot cup of coffee (and at our brunch table we never say no to a suitable liqueur to spike that coffee) and a box of chocolates to pass around -- just to make sure the sweet tooth gets fed.
If lunch is dad's meal of choice, the pulled turkey sandwich with coleslaw is the way to go. I started serving different kinds of pulled sandwiches this year and everyone is crazy about them. They are a tasty, tender alternative to burgers or cold meat. And pulled sandwiches are incredibly economical, allowing you to serve more guests from the same cut of meat than you would if you sliced it up. This pulled turkey sandwich comes with a recipe for a slightly sweet apple slaw which will complement any barbecue sauce. Add some dill pickle slices (pickled beets are good, too) and serve it up with a fresh bun. Pulled meats served over mashed potatoes or rice are a delicious "comfort food" variation, as well.
The third recipe is for an evening meal served off the grill. The Korean-style barbecue turkey wings that follow are super simple. They would also go great with the apple slaw or side of sweet baked beans and a fresh, warm baguette. If you are serving a baguette and you want to warm it up, preheat your oven to about 400F, pass the loaf of bread very quickly under cold running water and pop it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. It will be as good as if it was just baked. For a beverage, an ice-cold beer is the mug-filler of choice here for the adults. A super-cold ginger ale will also complement the wings.
The recipes that follow are courtesy of Manitoba Turkey Producers. You can find these ones and many more online at www.turkey.mb.ca
Turkey Frittata
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
250 ml (1 cup) cooked sweet potatoes, chopped
125 ml (1/2 cup) halved cherry tomatoes
250 ml (1 cup) leftover cooked chopped turkey
6 eggs, lightly beaten
60 ml (1/4 cup) low-fat milk
salt and pepper
30 ml (2 tbsp) chopped parsley
125 ml (1/2 cup) grated sharp cheddar cheese
Heat oil in a large nonstick, oven-proof frying pan. Add onion, peppers and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes and cook until golden, then add cherry tomatoes. Add turkey meat and toss together, over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs and milk with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet with vegetables and cook for another 4 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and top with grated cheese. Brown under the broiler for 5-7 minutes until frittata puffs. Serve warm. Serves 6.
Pulled Turkey Sandwiches
1 kg (2.2 lbs) whole skinless, bone-in turkey thighs
5 ml (2 cups) your favourite barbecue sauce
1 cup (250 mL) poultry stock
Apple Slaw
one half of a 340 g bag (11 oz bag) coleslaw salad
2 Granny Smith apples, finely julienned
1 small red onion, finely sliced
125 ml (1/2 cup) light mayonnaise
5 ml (1 tsp) Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
5 ml (1 tsp) poppy seeds
salt and pepper
Place barbecue sauce and stock in an oven-proof casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid. Place turkey thighs on top and cover with mixed sauce. Place lid on top and braise in a 162 C (325 F ) oven for 11/2 hours. Uncover, spoon sauce over meat and continue to cook uncovered for an additional 30 minutes. Remove meat from pot and cool slightly. Using two forks, start to shred the meat into long strands and place the pulled meat back into the pot with the remaining sauce. Gently mix the meat into the sauce and serve on toasted buns with apple slaw.
Apple Slaw: mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until time to serve. Serves 4 to 6.
Korean BBQ Turkey Wings
4 Turkey Wings (1 kg /2 lbs), split, fat trimmed and tips removed
3 litres (12 cups) water
250 ml (1 cup) hoisin sauce
50 ml (4 tbsp) soy sauce
45 ml (3 tbsp) water
45 ml (3 tbsp) honey
60 ml (4 tbsp) grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
Boil wings in water for 30 minutes then remove from heat and set aside. Place all marinade ingredients in a heavy resealable bag. Place cooked turkey wings in the bag and massage until sauce has evenly coated wings. Refrigerate overnight or no less than 4 hours. Heat barbecue to 200C (400F). Spray grill with cooking spray and grill wings until golden and crisp, approximately 20 minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
Your best turkey burger could be a prize-winner
Once Father's Day is over, dad might be champing at the bit to get back at the grill. If he is, or if anyone else in the house has a knack for grilling, there's a hot summer contest to get in on.
Granny's Poultry Farmer's Cooperative and Manitoba Turkey Producers, along with other sponsors, are holding Manitoba's Best Turkey Burger Recipe Challenge.
Your grill goods must use Granny's turkey and the Bothwell cheese you like best. After that, the sky's the limit. And you have all summer to perfect your burger recipe and technique. The contest is open now and registration closes in mid-August.
What's your motivation? Three lucky finalists will be chosen to participate in a cook-off and slider sampling at The Forks, where judges and tasters will decide who will win a deluxe four-burner barbecue, a five-piece outdoor patio set and a Granny's Poultry shopping spree valued at $200, a selection of Bothwell Cheese, plus a Granny's grilling set (silicon oven mitts, digital meat thermometer, apron, etc).
Entries will be received until Monday, Aug. 15 at 5 p.m. This contest is only open to Manitoba residents. Get the rules and entry forms online at www.grannys.ca/best-turkey-burger-recipe-challenge

Solidarity--Lest We Forget
Those on the left who cherished the illusion that Poland would somehow vanish from the news and that Solidarity would disappear from our political consciousness have been disappointed. A wave of strikes and skirmishes with the police spread throughout Poland recently in defiance of martial law; the inevitable lull that followed Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski's military clampdown thus lasted less than six months. The situation in Poland must again be watched with the faint hope of a compromise and the very real fear of a bloody explosion.
The Polish story is far from finished. Its impact on socialists in the West, already significant, will increase in coming months. Jaruzelski's coup has raised the curtain on the last act of the Western European schism in the once monolithic international Communist movement. It has also confronted the left in the West with two problems--or rather a pair of dangerous pitfalls. The first of these is the danger for the left of becoming exclusively preoccupied with its own important struggles and ignoring the continuing Polish drama. The second pitfall is more properly a trap: the right's use of the latest tragedy in an allegedly socialist country to discredit the struggle for socialism altogether. Let us take up these matters in order.
First, the Communist schism in the West. Moscow locuta, causa finita. There was a time, barely a quarter of a century ago, when Communist parties with genuine popular roots responded to the orders of the Kremlin with the discipline of military battalions. To break with the party, or to be excommunicated from it, were traumatic experiences for the "victims." Those days are gone, at least in the advanced capitalist countries; No one in these nations, not even the party faithful, still believes that the Soviet Union is constructing an alternative society that offers answers to any other country's social problems. Sacrilege has vanished along with the notion of paradise.
But Communists outside the Soviet bloc have not entirely lost their capacity for disillusionment, and so the events In Poland shook the rank and file for a number of reasons. The early progress of Solidarity had raised hopes of a gradual transition to a different kind of regime. It was so obviously a mass movement of the Polish working class that it was impossible to dismiss it as bourgeois or as manipulated from abroad. The military dictatorship, on the other hand, was clearly acting in complicity with the Soviet Union. Jaruzelski's coup thus contributed to the further disintegration of the international movement dominated by the Russians.
The Soviet leadership attempted to conceal the cracks in the monolith from the Russian people by a kind of numbers game. Statements from a host of small but obedient parties in Latin America and the Arab world approving Jaruzelski's actions were quoted in the Soviet press. The parties on the Asian continent, where memories of the Sino-Soviet split are still vivid, were not so cooperative; even the Japanese Communists refused to cooperate. And in Western Europe the reactions were overwhelmingly negative. The coup was condemned in unequivocal terms by a large contingent of Eurocommunists headed by the Italians but including the Spaniards, the Dutch, the British, the Belgians and, all the Scandinavians with the exception of the Danes, now a tiny sect as a result of a recent split in their ranks.
The Kremlin can count minor parties in its numbers game, but spreading the word that Communists in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are solidly behind the Soviet Union is mainly a tactic for confusing the issue. Moscow knows very well that in Western Europe it can rely on only three parties that matter. These are the larger of the two Greek parties (known as the Exterior), which has always toed the Moscow line; the equally obedient Portuguese C.P., whose leader, Alvaro Cunhal, visited Warsaw at the beginning of April; and, last but not least, the maverick French party of Georges Marchais, which is a separate case.
The French C.P. used to be one of the most Stalinist of the lot. Khrushchev's "secret" Indictment of Stalin at the Twentieth Party Congress in 1956 was referred to by French Communists as the "report attributed to comrade Khrushchev" as a way to avoid admitting the bitter truth. Subsequently, however, their popular front strategy compelled them to change their line. They could not claim to be democratic and hope to gain the support of the electorate if they seemed to approve repression In the Soviet bloc, so they distanced themselves from Moscow. But after their break with the Socialist Party in 1977 and 1978, the French Communists were no longer interested in wooing voters on the left, and they moved closer to the Soviet line. The blessing that Marchais gave to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan was a spectacular illustration of this shift. The C.P. paid a heavy price for its ideological antics and lost about a quarter of its usual vote in the 1981 presidential elections. After its poor showing, the party climbed aboard the Mitterrand bandwagon on domestic issues, though it has not altered its foreign policy. Thus, although the Socialists expressed their support for Solidarity, the Communists backed Jaruzelski, and this, they themselves admit, cost them additional votes in the local elections last March. At times the bewildered Communist leadership seems to be guided solely by a political death wish.
To be sure, the anti-Moscow Communists are also In disarray. The Spanish Communists are undergoing a crisis of major proportions. Party leader Santiago Carrillo has had to contend not only with a pro-Soviet faction, the so-called "Afghans," who are strong in Barcelona, but with the Basques, who oppose his centralism, and with the Eurocommunists, who accuse him of having insufficient reformist zeal and of preaching rather than practicing democracy. Carrillo predictably condemned the Polish coup, but his stand did not carry as much weight as it would have in the past because of the disunity within his own party's ranks. In 1977, Eurocommunism probably reached its high-water mark. In March of that year Carrillo, Marchais and Enrico Berlinguer of Italy met in Madrid amid speculation of an impending break with Moscow and new policies. In the wake of the Polish crisis, Marchais had returned to the fold, Carrillo's authority was shaken and Berlinguer was left alone to lead the offensive. This the Italians did without pulling punches. The Eurocommunist critique was still largely within the bounds of Palmiro Toghatti's polycentrism, which held that the Soviet model was not appropriate for Western societies. Jaruzelski's coup drove Italian Communists to condemn the Soviet system and the Brezhnev doctrine of limited sovereignty for bloc countries, and to attack the Soviet leadership as well as its foreign policy. Incensed, the Russians denounced this as "sacrilege."
But their anathemas no longer carry the lethal sting that they had when Stalin was in power. The only protests within the Italian party against Berlinguer's policies came from Armando Cossutta, on the central committee, and Interstampa, a publication that invariably adheres to the Moscow line. The Russians quickly realized it was tactically stupid to fight the battle over Solidarity. They will bide their time and eventually criticize the leadership for being too soft on capitalist rule in Italy and on American imperialism elsewhere in the world.
The rejection of the Soviet Union as a model has always been the indispensable beginning of an independent Eurocommunism, but it is only a beginning. Independence from Moscow meant the Communist parties had to come up with social and economic policies of their own. After twenty-five years of relative prosperity under capitalism, the Eurocommunists decided to follow the social democratic way. But just as they were being converted to the system, the system went into a recession. This made Berlinguer's "historic compromise" an irrelevance, and Marchais is clearly leading his party into what has traditionally been referred to as the "dustbin of history." Only the Italian C.P. seems capable of pointing the way to the future, but its success will ultimately depend on its ability to formulate socialist solutions for the current economic crisis and to devise an anti-imperialist foreign policy that is not subservient to the Soviet Union. But these are the historical tasks facing all European Communists, and the entire Western left, for that matter.

In singles play, BYU was highlighted by freshman Nicolette Tran at the No. 4 position as she picked up a point and earned her third consecutive win, defeating Megan Moore in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.
"Nicolette has been doing awesome — she's a tough player," Jones-Spencer said. "She just goes out there, hits the ball hard cross-court and is confident. She had a great result today."
On court 5, Maddox turned in another strong effort for BYU. The freshman forced her first set into a tiebreak, but she eventually fell to Michaela Capannolo, 7-6, 6-2.
Meghan Sheehan-Dizon and Anderon each suffered defeated on their respective courts as Pepperdine collected three points in singles matches.
The Cougars return to action Saturday for their last home match of the year at noon against Loyla Marymount.

Rapper Dr. Dre's Son Dead at 20
The Los Angeles County Coroner reported today that the son of hip hop record producer and rapper Dr. Dre has died. Andre Young Jr. was found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.
Young was out the previous night and returned home around 5:30 A.M., according to Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His mother went to check on him in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive, and called 911. He was 20 years of age.
The cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.
Andre Young Sr., better known as Dr. Dre, shot to fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. He later became an artist and co-owner of Death Row Records. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for the single "Let Me Ride." As a producer, Dre was credited with popularizing West Coast G-funk.
Dr. Dre is currently the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment.

Wikileaks Publishes FBI VoIP Surveillance Docs 145
from the watching-the-watchers dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Twinkle [twinklephone.com]?
It handles encryption using ZRTP [wikipedia.org]/SRTP [wikipedia.org] and can do point-to-point (IP2IP) calls like good'ole Speak Freely.
If I can't even convince my friends who use Pidgin already, to install PidginEncryption, how am I supposed to get them to use VOIP encryption?
"Well, it won't happen to me..."
Part of me wants to support further government wiretaps so that more abuses come to light and we can hopefully then convince people that privacy is important. But the other part hates it when innocent people are tortured for things they did not do.
So what's the right course of action? I'm starting to wonder if I'm one of the few people
Q: What is Zfone?
A: Zfone is my new secure VoIP phone software which lets you make secure encrypted phone calls over the Internet. The ZRTP protocol used by Zfone will soon be integrated into many standalone secure VoIP clients, but today we have a software product that lets you turn your existing VoIP client into a secure phone. The current Zfone software runs in the Internet protocol stack on any Windows XP, Mac OS X, or Linux PC, and intercepts and filters all the VoIP packets as they go in and out of the machine, and secures the call on the fly. You can use a variety of different software VoIP clients to make a VoIP call. The Zfone software detects when the call starts, and initiates a cryptographic key agreement between the two parties, and then proceeds to encrypt and decrypt the voice packets. It has its own little separate GUI, telling the user if the call is secure. It's as if Zfone were a "bump on the cord", sitting between the VoIP client and the Internet. Think of it as a bump in the protocol stack.
I'm inclined to agree. I looked into CALEA a couple of years ago as part of an investigation to see what impacts it might have for universities. Much of the public criticism seemed to assume that it was a way for law enforcement to tap all communications. In fact, it is the exact equivalent of existing wiretaps: they don't get a full feed; they get data for specific authorized interceptions. I admit to some concern about apparent diversion of massive traffic flows. It may be a good idea, but I'd like to see
There's not much new here. If you're familiar with CALEA, the law that hooked the Government into the phone system big-time, this is basically the same set of requirements the FBI wanted for voice calls. There was a big disagreement in the voice world over in-band signalling. The question was whether a "pen register" warrant authorized access to signalling data that goes over the voice channel, like Touch-Tone tones sent to some non-carrier device. The FBI was bitching about that for years.
The trouble with all this stuff is that Congress didn't mandate proper auditing. Every surveillance event in CALEA ought to be logged by the Judicial Branch, at the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. [uscourts.gov] We don't have that.
"Privacy" as discussed here is about protecting privacy from the government, to whom we pay taxes and who might imprison us, prosecute us, or target us for our beliefs, words, or affiliations. Privacy from the general public is a different issue. Please argue that issue elsewhere as it confuses (and is probably intentionally meant to confuse) the real issue of privacy with regards to the government. If you still don't understand, I'll repeat it in bold face: "Privacy" as discussed here is about protecting p
Everyone on the site seems concerned with privacy, doesn't it make you all incredible hipocrites to say that businesses and government aren't entitled to that too?
There is no contradiction here. Government, and government officials when operating in their official capacity, are not entitled to privacy; they are beholden to the people. With businesses, it depends. A sole proprietor is entitled to nearly as much privacy as any other person; he is beholden to himself and his customers. A huge corporation is entitled to much less; it is beholden to all of its shareholders, who may number in the thousands.

Black door topper
Here's a pic of a black door topper done with one stroke. I have a white one over my patio door--will have to take pics. Just click on the pics to enlarge. Luvs
No, it's not any harder. Just more of everything because it is bigger. I love roses, so being able to paint them is so satisfying. Problem is--I don't have many walls, and only a couple of rooms they look okay in. That is how I ended up painting things for the yard, The rest, I stash in the garage--thinking I will sell them at a yard sale one day. The ones I really like are hard for me to part with--isn't that crazy? I've wanted to paint One Stroke since I first saw D. Dewberry ten years ago--just wasn't confident enough until last year! It sure was allot easier than it looks. Luvs
Nonacook, You are right--even little dot flowers add that extra something to a piece, don't they? One of the first pieces I painted was a little house and we just dabbed on some greenery and then put dot flowers on top and it is still one of my favorites. And hearts or vines, I love anything painted with those too. Bet you were painting several pieces at a time when you were on the craft circuit, weren't you? Bet you got lots of compliments on your things too. So glad you and your DH were able to do that--bet you had lots of fun and met some really neat people. Luvs

Two Universities Placed on Probation
By Alabama Public Radio
Auburn and Livingston, AL – Auburn University was placed on 12-months probation yesterday by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The association is responsible for granting accreditation. It nearly revoked that accreditation because of micromanagement by Auburn's board of trustees. Probation is one step below SACS' most serious punishment where a college's accreditation is revoked. A loss of accreditation would have meant the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal aid for Auburn and its students.
The punishment followed a two-year investigation, which reeported five problems. Most of them were related to the school's board of trustees.
Meanwhile, SACS handed down a similar punishment to the University of West Alabama, which was also placed on 12-month probation because its board members were micromanaging university operations.
West Alabama had its accreditation renewed last year on the condition that it resolved management issues. Earlier this year, West Alabama's board of trustees split into two factions, both claiming to be the valid trustee board.
Preston Minus, chairman of the majority faction of the board, says West Alabama will fight the probation, possibly through a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
