Sundown: Madoff Stole My Savings
And all I got was this lousy t-shirt
• There is, apparently, an "entire marketplace" of Bernie Madoff tchotchkes. For those who lost their fortunes, they're no doubt as comforting as "Bushisms" calendars were to Democrats a few years back. [NYMag]
• But is the con man's wife suffering unduly? The poor woman can't even get highlights. [NYT]
• And it still doesn't seem quite right that George W. should join Hitler and Saddam Hussein on condoms offering a double layer, if you will, of birth control. [Dieline]
• A three-month Tony Kushner festival in Minneapolis offers something for everyone, and that's just in the playwright's newest work, The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures. (Apparently, he's also writing a screenplay about Abraham Lincoln with Steven Spielberg!) [CNN]
• A job fair in New York City used kosher jelly beans and Tabasco to try to lure Orthodox families to take gigs in flyover states. Maybe they should have just offered pedophile-free pita. [NYT]
• A Sports Illustrated column about Jewish baseball player Ian Kinsler manages to refer to Manischevitz, matzo balls, blintzes, bar mitzvahs, prune hamentaschen, kvetching, and something called "the proverbial Louisville Torah." [SI]

Making sure its announcements are not just heard but understood as well, Delhi Police is now asking people in Bhojpuri language to be cautious about drug and robbery gangs at a crowded railway station in the capital.
"Yatrijan se anurodh ba, koi se jaldi dosti na kareen, na kehu ke dehal khaayeen (passengers are requested not to befriend strangers and not accept any food from them) goes the warning in Bhojpuri that began recently at the Anand Vihar railway station in east Delhi.
Anand Vihar is where many trains for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal originate. The announcement in Bhojpuri is the first time Delhi Police has launched such a targeted service.
Delhi Police is worried at the increasing number of cases of drugging and robbing of passengers by gangs known as "zehar khurani" on trains going towards eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
The modus operandi of the gangs is to befriend waiting passengers at railway stations or in the ticket queue.
The criminals strike up a casual chat with passengers in Hindi or Bhojpuri, or even Bengali. The chatting and laughing soon progresses to an offer of tea and biscuits or a cold drink. The unsuspecting passenger takes a sip or bite of the drug-laced food and is soon unconscious. He or she wakes up to find all belongings gone and the stranger absconding.
"The drugging is a serious problem faced by many passengers. The drug gangs are able to gauge the vulnerable targets," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Railways) Sanjay Bhatia told IANS.
"We launched the service to reach out to maximum passengers. Very soon, the service will be launched in other languages, including Bengali," Bhatia said.
The Bhojpuri announcement is repeated every half an hour at the Anand Vihar station. The station was opened two years ago to decongest the heavy traffic at the New Delhi railway station.
Announcements would be launched in other railway stations in the capital soon, the official said.
According to statistics, police have nabbed 101 criminals over the past five years. Police have also printed a booklet on the modus operandi of such gangs and circulated it among its officials and railway staff.
Describing one such crime, an officer said that around a month ago, an engineer who landed in Delhi from abroad at the Indira Gandhi International Airport and took a taxi to the New Delhi railway station was robbed.
The engineer arrived at the station in the early hours and was waiting at a platform to board a train for Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
A person approached him and initiated a casual chat. After some time, the stranger offered him tea. After sipping the tea, the engineer started feeling groggy and collapsed. When he regained consciousness, he found his bag, cash and electronic equipment gone.

Ateneo beats Adamson, faces La Salle in UAAP women's volleyball finals anew
More News from Mark Giongco
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Ateneo watched as De La Salle clinched its fifth consecutive finals berth after making quick work of National University.
But it didn't take long for the Lady Eagles to join their fierce rivals following a grueling 25-23, 25-23, 26-24, win over third seed Adamson Saturday night in the UAAP Season 75 women's volleyball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
"Siyempre gusto talaga namin na makapasok sa Finals, naghirap kami sa practice and inisip din namin yung mga graduating players sa team," said spiker Alyssa Valdez, moments after the Lady Eagles' thrilling third-set comeback sealed their second straight trip to the Finals.
The Lady Falcons appeared on their way to extending the match after they led, 23-19, and came to match point, 24-23, after Pau Soriano scored on a kill.
Soriano though, committed an error that gave life to Ateneo before Valdez completed her team's rally with a cross court kill and a block.
"Prior to the game, I talked to the girls, magaling ang Adamson especially on defense. Siguro motivated din talaga ang mga bata na mag-finals," said Ateneo coach Roger Gorayeb. "Malaking bagay din na twice-to-beat kami."
Valdez finished with 22 points while oriano had 17 to cap off her impressive five-year run with Adamson.
The Ateneo-La alle best-of-three championship series rolls off on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the same venue.

By Vitali Shaposhnikov: Since Manny Pacquiaos third controversial fight against Juan Manuel Marquez a few weeks ago, the media has been going wild. People are convinced that Pacquiaos performance against Marquez is a tell of how he would most likely perform against Mayweather Jr.
I clearly understand why boxing fans come to such notion, but in reality its a false perceptive. Folks out there assume that since Pacquiao had evident trouble with Marquezs counter punching, he will also suffer a similar fate against Mayweather Jr.
I think this will not be the case.
The difference between Mayweather Jr. and Marquez, is that while Mayweather Jr. is an opportunist, punching whenever he feels and sees an opportunity to hit without being hit, Marquez is a volume counter puncher, hitting back no matter what the response might be.
Pacquiao is defensively limited, thus was getting hit with most of Marquezs counters.
He is also like Marquez, wanting to throw higher volume. In essence, both Marquez and Pacquiao like to let their hands go; Pacquiao more aggressive and Marquez more defensive.
Mayweathers volume will likely come short, and will not work in the same fashion as Marquezs. Mayweather will have to look for opportunities, and there wont be too many of them. One thing both Mayweather Jr. and Pacquiao can do well, is move on their feet.
This attribute alone will cut out a significant number of landed shots, possibly making it a more boring fight than some expect it to be. By this I am in no way implying that Marquez has bad footwork, he simply didnt need to use most of it when fighting Pacquiao.
In my personal opinion, Mayweather Jr. will win his fight against Pacquiao, via a UD taking most if not all of the rounds. Still, the fight will not look similar in any way to that of Pacquaios fight against Marquez. Pacquiao will be hitting his opponent much less, vice versa.
But in reality, only one way to fine out

David Wise, Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues, GAO
The three biggest landlords in the federal government don't know how much federal agencies are actually using their own property. The Government Accountability Office reports one thinks almost all of its warehouses are in use, when in reality some of them are sitting empty and forgotten. David Wise is Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues at the GAO. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared the latest results in the ongoing effort to rightsize the federal real property portfolio.

Increasing building security may be a problem for FPS, GAO says
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has said he wants to increase security at federal buildings. But the FPS, the agency responsible for doing so, may not be up to the task. GAO's Mark Goldstein said the FPS has a number of long-standing problems to solve before it can adequately protect anyone.

Mark Goldstein, Director of Physical Infrastructure Issues, GAO
After a gunman opened fire at Canada's National War Memorial and Parliament, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he wants to beef up security at federal buildings. But as Mark Goldstein, GAO's director of physical infrastructure issues, explained on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin, more security means a greater workload for the Federal Protective Service. Reports from the Government Accountability Office show the small agency isn't always prepared for new threats.

New Car Test Drive correspondents Laura Burstein and Sam Moses contributed to this report.
Mildly refreshed for 2014, the 5 Series gets a revised twin kidney grille, redesigned lower air intakes and new tail lamps. Like other BMW models on the market, the 5 Series is available in different lines: Luxury, Modern and M Sport, each with its own unique styling and trims.
Inside, the interior has been updated with standard navigation on all models and slightly more storage space, as well as new options like a rear entertainment system and personal concierge service. The updated iDrive interface also allows users to finger-trace letters and numbers on top of the control knob to enter information (similar to the touchpad found on Audi models).
The biggest news for 2014 is the 535d, available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive (xDrive) models, which uses a turbocharged, 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. Not only does it get an EPA-rated 26/38 mpg City/Highway, but diesel's well-known range helped our 535d test car go more than 500 miles on a single tank, and that's with spirited driving. Although it has a $1,500 price premium over the gasoline-powered 535i, those who travel long distances, especially at highway speeds, could be very satisfied with their return on the money.
Carrying over are the BMW 528i, BMW 535i and BMW 550i variants, powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder, respectively. An 8-speed automatic transmission is standard; the 535i can be equipped with an optional 6-speed manual.
Line-topping 550i models continue to use a 4.4-liter V8, but for 2014, the engine has been retuned to make 445 hp, and 480 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 45 hp and 30 lb-ft., respectively. BMW says the 550i can speed from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Gran Turismo models ride on a wheelbase extended by four inches, with 2+2 seating behind a long hood and under a coupe roofline. The Gran Turismo come in two versions: 535i GT with the turbo I6 and 550i GT with the V8. Each is available with xDrive all-wheel drive.
The performance-oriented M5 sedan is equipped with a 560-horsepower V8, available with a 6-speed manual 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters. In addition to minor styling updates, the Competition package is also new for 2014, which bumps up horsepower to 575, and includes a different exhaust system, minor tuning revisions and unique 20-inch wheels.
Competitors to the 2014 BMW 5 Series are formidable, including the Audi A6, all-new Cadillac CTS (now larger than before), Lexus GS and the recently redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Those considering the 5 Series Gran Turismo might also consider the elegant Audi A7, with its ample cargo space. Rivals to the high-powered M5 include the Jaguar XF-R and the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.
BMW 528i ($49,500) and 528i xDrive ($51,800) sedans come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine; BMW 535i ($55,100) and 535 xDrive ($57,400) sedans use with a 3.0-liter inline-6; 550i ($63,900) and 550i xDrive ($66,200) sedans boast a 4.4-liter V8. BMW 535d ($56,600) and 535d xDrive ($58,900) models use a diesel-powered 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine.
Gran Turismo body styles add four inches to the wheelbase and feature a sleek, coupe-like roof. Models include the 535i GT ($60,200), 535i xDrive GT ($62,500), 550i GT ($68,100) and 550i xDrive GT ($70,400).
In addition, all of the 5 Series sedans and GT models are available in distinct lines, which offer unique interior and exterior styling: Luxury, Modern and Sport.
Standard equipment on the BMW 528i includes dual-zone automatic climate control, vinyl upholstery, 10-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar, power tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver memory function, pushbutton start, cruise control, split-folding rear seats, the iDrive infotainment interface with smartphone app integration, navigation, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 10-speaker sound system with CD player, HD radio, auxiliary jack and iPod/USB connectivity, power sunroof, automatic wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, heated exterior mirrors, adaptive bi-xenon headlights and 17-inch wheels.
BMW 535i and 535d models are equipped similarly, adding leather upholstery and 18-inch alloy wheels to the above features.
BMW 550i upgrades further with 20-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar, sport steering wheel with paddle shifters (along with a sport-tuned version of the automatic transmission), front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera.
The BMW M5 sedan ($92,900) makes 560 horsepower from its 4.4-liter V8, and comes standard with a choice of 7-speed dual clutch automatic manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, 16-way power sport front seats, heated front seats with memory settings, and split-folding rear seats, the iDrive infotainment interface, a navigation, with voice activation, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a six-CD changer, HD radio, an auxiliary audio jack and iPod/USB connection, power sunroof, driver-adjustable adaptive suspension, adaptive xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, auto-dimming mirrors and19-inch alloy wheels with summer performance tires. The M5 Competition Package bumps horsepower up by 15 thanks to a specialized exhaust system and adds a rear M differential, more aggressive steering and suspension tuning, black chrome tailpipes and unique 20-inch wheels.
Safety equipment that comes standard on all 2014 5 Series includes front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, stability control, traction control, antilock disc brakes, and the BMW Assist emergency telematics system with a 10-year subscription, which includes automatic crash notification. Optional safety features include the Driver Assistance Plus package, which adds an upgraded camera that shows a full picture of vehicle surroundings, blind-spot warning, a lane-departure warning and forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection. The optional night-vision system can display possible hazards in the road the driver might not see otherwise.
The 5 Series sedan cabin is set considerably to the rear, giving its profile a slightly wedged, coupe-like forward-thrust shape. Handsomely flared wheel openings filled with large wheels and tires underline the car's muscularity and its rear-wheel drive layout. The signature (Hofmeister) kink in the rear side window's aft edge confirms that this is a bona fide BMW. Adaptive xenon headlights come standard, and LED lamps and tailamps are illuminated in an LED pattern distinctive to BMW.
Gran Turismo models are even longer, and have a larger, boxier rear that sits higher up.
Standard front seats in 5 Series sedans have 10-way power adjustment. Larger adults will feel comfortable in the spacious seats, although those of smaller stature may have a tough time getting comfortable, and could feel like they're sloshing around on twisty roads.
The standard upholstery on 528i models is vinyl, but it looks good and doesn't appear cheap. The Dakota leather found on more expensive models is nice, though we prefer the optional (yet more expensive) Nappa leather. In sedans and GT models, there isn't much bolstering to hold you in during hard cornering, even with the optional Sport seats, but that's nicely taken care of in the M5, which will cradle your every move.
Instrumentation includes four classic circular gauges set against a black panel. We think the BMW's gauges are beautiful.
Navigation is now standard for 2014. Paired with BMW's iDrive interface, the nav is easy to use, once you get the hang of it. With the optional head-up display, navigation guidance can be read on the windshield just above the steering wheel.
Rear-seat passengers have adequate space; the 5 Series sedan offers 38.3 inches of read headroom, about on par with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, and more than the Cadillac CTS or Lexus GS. Rear legroom measures 36.1 inches, more than the Cadillac CTS or Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, but slightly less than the Lexus GS.
Cargo space in BMW 5 Series sedans is 14.0 cubic feet, slightly less than the Lexus GS and Mercedes Benz E-Class sedan, but more than the Cadillac CTS's 13.7 cubic feet.
Gran Turismo models are better for hauling people and cargo, with 39.9 inches of rear headroom and a plentiful 40.6 inches of rear legroom. Trunk space measures 15.5 cubic feet with all seats in place, up to 60 cubes with the rear seats folded down.
The BMW 528i, 535i and 550i models are all highly competent and balanced, with exceptional poise and pace. The BMW 550i, with its V8 engine, is the most nose heavy, with a 52.5/47.5 percent front-rear weight distribution; the 535i with its I6 comes in at 50.9/49.1 percent; and the 528i scores 49.4/50.6 percent with its lighter engine. So it's no surprise that the 528i handles the best. The others make up for the difference with more power.
We found the BMW 535i and 550i to be controllable at high levels of acceleration, stopping and cornering on the racetrack. But the BMW 528i displayed exemplary quickness and agility, which was also noticeable on the street.
The 535d is powerful, smooth and capable. As expected from a diesel engine, it provides plenty of low-end thrust. We took our 535d on a road trip from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, and tackled the hills between the Inland Empire and the desert with ease, passing scores of other vehicles slogging up the steep inclines. Compared to old diesel vehicles, noise and vibration from the 535i is much reduced, though we did notice its distinctive rumble around town at low speeds, and recognized its unmistakable sound from around the block when it was delivered by the valet.
Another advantage to the 535d is its marvelous range. We got about 500 miles on a single tank, and that was mostly while driving with a heavy foot in Sport mode. EPA fuel economy estimates for the 2014 BMW 535d rear-wheel-drive model are 26/38 mpg City/Highway and 30 mpg Combined. During our excursion, our mileage, according to the trip computer, ranged from 27 mpg to 31 mpg, averaging 30.0 mpg for our 500-mile trek.
All 5 Series models, with the exception of the M5, use an 8-speed automatic transmission. Because the top two gears are overdrives, keeping freeway revs down, the fuel mileage is helped.
Steering on the 5 Series cars is electronic and uses variable ratio tuning, which makes it comfortable and stable on highways and straightaways, yet more precise and responsive around corners and for low-speed maneuvering. Though some bemoan the changeover from the hydraulic system once used on BMWs, we find the current steering setup seamless and precise.
To heighten controllability and give the driver an improved platform, available dynamic damping control constantly adjusts shock rates to match the current road surface. The system is so fast that when a front wheel hits a pothole at highway speed, the rear shock absorber will be prepared for it before the pothole arrives. In addition, active roll stabilization curtails body roll in hard cornering, giving the driver heightened command. BMW's advanced electronics work well. Breaking with BMW practice, the front suspension eschews struts in favor of multi-link arms.
The latest BMW brake system interacts with the other electronic stability control systems, pre-setting the brakes in heavy braking, drying the brakes in wet driving, and compensating for brake fade in vigorous driving. The brakes also have a hybrid-like regenerative-energy feature; they capture electric energy generated during braking and send electricity to the battery. This reduces the net amount of time that the engine must drive the alternator producing charge. This cuts the amount of time the engine must drive the alternator belt, heightening fuel efficiency.
The 5 Series use BMW's automatic Stop/Start system, which stops the engine when the car is not in motion to conserve fuel. We don't care for this system because of its abruptness. It engages quickly, just after a few seconds of idle, and will fire the ignition with just the slightest lift of the brake pedal. We question how much fuel it actually saves; it seems more about earning government credits than actually benefitting the owner.
The M5 is totally different than the other 5 Series models. It starts with the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine and the same frame, but after that the parts are something else. Electronically controlled dampers, M-specific Servotronic steering, a stability control system with M Dynamic Mode, active limited-slip differential, high-performance compound brakes, suspension structure and sub-frame mods, and more.
At Laguna Seca, a winding road racing circuit near Monterey, California, we found the M5's 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque available over an amazingly wide power band, from 1500 to 5750 rpm. The BMW M5 accelerates from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph, We drove test cars with both the 6-speed manual transmission and 7-speed twin clutch with paddle shifters. The automated manual is faster, but those who like rowing through the gears old-school-style will be happy the M5 is still available in a stick.
Suspension, throttle and steering quickness can be individually set in Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus modes. The instrument panel, exclusive to M5, shows what modes you're in. There is flexibility and range in the modes, and that's a good thing.

"Bootylicious" and "Sexy Daddy" (along with "Apple Pie," the most obvious choices for singles) are saltier gumbos, the latter's Electra-sick title lending it a slight advantage. So named for the moment that Kelly locks eyes with what she thinks could be "my baby's fatherfatherfather," "Sexy Daddy" is the densest conflagration on Survivor, an OutKast-as-girl-group freakout that proves Beyoncé was taking some copious notes during She'kspere class. "I don't think you heard meI wanna see you dance! GET UP AND DANCE!" she hollers like she's venting on a dawdling caterer, while the swoony choruses make casting for sperm donors seem, well, romantic. Pass the prenup! "Bootylicious" is a sweltering snake dance, the trio scatting and hyperventilating and emitting lusty little hiccups ("lookin' hot-TA!") while they double-dare the ballers to take a bite out of their raspberry danish.
Odd and disappointing, then, that Survivor seems so consistently sexless. "I don't think you're ready for this jelly," the girls decide, rather preemptively. We're back to junior high. Beyoncé is the most beautiful, most popular seventh-grader, drunk on her own power, and the reverend's daughter to boot. She's a mean drunk, too, rubbing everybody's face in her Chosen status until she looks around one day and finds she only has two friends left. "Actually, it's like she had one friend, and her dad had to buy her another," as an astute buddy pointed out. So let's say that Beyoncé is at one of those awkward stages. She's an independent woman who's a sexy daddy's-girl. Her love don't cost a thingand yet, the house they live in, she bought it. Maybe it's time to move out.

The Case for Overkill
Obama's wrong: America does need thousands of nukes.
- By Matthew KroenigMatthew Kroenig is an assistant professor and international relations field chair in the Department of Government at Georgetown University. He is the author of "Nuclear Superiority and the Balance of Resolve: Explaining Nuclear Crisis Outcomes," published in the January 2013 issue of International Organization.
On Wednesday, President Obama gave a speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, calling for the United States and Russia to reduce the size of their deployed nuclear arsenals by one-third to around 1,000 strategic warheads. The call for further cuts has been greeted with enthusiasm in many quarters, but these proposed nuclear reductions could potentially be highly damaging to U.S. interests.
In his speech, the president argued that such cuts would be consistent with the goal of maintaining "a strong and credible strategic deterrent," but this argument rests on a contested theory about how nuclear deterrence works. The Obama administration, and many scholars and experts, believe that a secure, second-strike capability is sufficient for deterrence and that anything more is "overkill." Therefore, they believe that nuclear warheads in excess of a "minimum deterrent" threshold can be cut with very little loss to our national security.
However, there are those who argue that maintaining a nuclear advantage over one's opponents enhances deterrence. As Paul Nitze argued during the Cold War, it is of "the utmost importance that the West maintain a sufficient margin of superior capability…. The greater the margin (and the more clearly the Communists understand that we have a margin), the less likely it is that nuclear war will ever occur."
For decades, this debate was largely theoretical — neither camp marshaled systematic evidence in support of its views — but, recently, I methodically reviewed the relationship between the size of a country's nuclear arsenal and its ability to achieve its national security objectives. I found strong evidence that, when it comes to nuclear deterrence, more is better.
In an analysis of 52 countries that participated in nuclear crises from 1945 to 2001 (think the Cuban Missile Crisis), I found that the state with the greater number of warheads is over 17 times more likely to achieve its goals. In addition, there is qualitative evidence from these crises that leaders in nuclear-armed states pay close attention to the nuclear balance of power, that they believe nuclear superiority enhances their position, and that a nuclear advantage often translates directly into a geopolitical advantage. For example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Secretary of State Dean Rusk argued, "One thing Mr. Khrushchev may have in mind is that… he knows that we have a substantial nuclear superiority…. He also knows that we don't really live under fear of his nuclear weapons to the extent… that he has to live under ours."
Even if Russia agrees to match the president's proposed cuts, the nuclear reductions would attenuate our advantages vis-à-vis Russia and eat into our margin of superiority against other nuclear-armed states, such as China, possibly increasing the likelihood that the United States will be challenged militarily and reducing the probability that we achieve our goals in future crises.
If there is at least some reason to believe that reductions could harm America's strategic deterrent, then certainly those in favor of reductions provide concrete evidence that the benefits of reductions outweigh these costs, right? Alas, they do not.
Supporters of further cuts argue that reducing the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. policy will help us stop the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries. They argue that our large nuclear arsenal makes it difficult (if not hypocritical) to tell, say, Iran that it cannot have nuclear weapons, or to demand that other non-nuclear countries (such as Brazil and Turkey) help us pressure Iran. Therefore, they argue, we can generate goodwill and strengthen our nonproliferation efforts by cutting our own nuclear arsenal.
This argument makes sense at a superficial level, but on closer inspection it falls apart. As Iran's leaders decide whether to push forward with, or put limits on, their nuclear program, or as Brazilian and Turkish leaders think about getting tougher with Iran, they likely consider many things, but it is implausible that the precise size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is among them. The evidence backs this logic up; the United States has been cutting the size of its nuclear arsenal since 1967, but there is no reason to believe that we have ever received any credit for doing so, or that these cuts have contributed to any breakthroughs on important nonproliferation problems. In short, we can't stop other countries from building nuclear weapons by getting rid of our own.
Finally, proponents of cuts claim that nuclear reductions will lead to cost savings in a time of budget austerity, but, at least in the short term, nuclear reductions will actually result in cost increases, not decreases. Cutting arsenal size means pulling missiles out of silos, erecting buildings in which to store them, dismantling retired warheads, and decommissioning nuclear facilities. All of this costs money. Only if we think we can maintain a diminished nuclear posture indefinitely is it plausible to think there might be marginal cost savings to be had over the long run. But this would be an unwise bet given that U.S. competitors, including China, are moving in the opposite direction, expanding and modernizing their nuclear forces.
Since there are potential strategic costs and no identifiable benefits to further reducing the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, the United States should refrain from making any additional nuclear reductions. It must not go below the 1,550 warheads agreed to in New START (and it should take its sweet time getting down to that number). In addition, the United States should maintain the "hedge" of weapons it keeps in reserve at current levels and halt the transfer of warheads from storage to retirement and elimination. Finally, the Obama administration must follow through on its promise to fully invest in modernizing U.S. nuclear infrastructure so that it does not lose the capability to sustain a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal for decades to come.
Some may find this argument provocative, but it is actually quite anodyne; I recommend simply that the United States maintain the status quo. What is provocative is slashing America's nuclear arsenal to 60-year lows in the face of evidence suggesting that doing so will harm our national interests.

Over 7,600 pilgrims from Jammu and Kashmir will visit Saudi Arabia for the annual Haj pilgrimage for which the state government has made all arrangements.
"Arrangements with regard to Haj were finalised at a high level meeting of officers held under the Chairmanship of Minister of State for Haj and Waqf Aijaz Ahmad Khan here," an official spokesman said on Thursday.
As many as 7,630 pilgrims from the state would visit the holy shrine at Mecca this year, the spokesman said, adding that the first Haj flight will leave for Jeddah from Srinagar International Airport on October 20.
Two flights carrying over 400 pilgrims will take off from Srinagar every day, he said. The pilgrims planning to board the first flight will have to reach Bemina Haj House at 6 AM, while those booked for the other plane will report at 8.15 AM.
The first returning flight from Jeddah will reach here on December 3 and the process will continue till all the pilgrims return, the spokesman said.
The Minister asked the Deputy Commissioner of Srinagar to designate a nodal officer for maintaining coordination and liaison with all the concerned departments so that the pilgrims do not confront any problem.
Health department was also asked to provide medical facilities at Bemina Haj House, Airport and the hotels where pilgrims will stay.
The Minister asked the State Haj Committee functionaries to maintain coordination with all the Deputy Commissioners to ensure transport facilities for the pilgrims coming from various parts of the state.

This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to our interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day, as well as links to other stories and resources we discuss.
Today's Interviews:
Senior Vice President for the Global Public Sector
Today is optimistic Tuesday, so we're going to take a look at the next step when furloughed employees return and agencies ring up contractors with orders to restart projects. It's going to take a little careful knitting together of frayed edges. Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president for the global public sector at TechAmerica, explains how to re-establish some sense of normal interaction.
Vice President for Policy
Partnership for Public Service
It's day 15 of the government shutdown. Some believe the end is near because the government cannot risk defaulting on the national debt. Whenever the crisis ends, federal employees will return to their dusty desks. John Palguta is vice president for policy at the Partnership for Public Service. He has some tips for re-entry.
American Bar Association
Federal courts are using money from filing fees and long-term appropriations to stay open during the shutdown. But the judiciary's administrative office says even that money could run out by the end of this week. Jim Silkenat, president of the American Bar Association, explains how the crisis would impact the courts.
Staff Writer
The Hill Newspaper
Senate leaders say they've got a general framework for a deal that would reopen the government. The shutdown has lasted for more than two weeks. And Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is urging Congress to raise the debt ceiling before Thursday. Erik Wasson writes for The Hill Newspaper. He has details on the negotiations.

DIGEST: Cincinnati RB Benson charged with assault
Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching a bar employee in the face a month ago.
Benson was booked into the Travis County jail in Texas where he later posted $5,000 bail and was released. The charge of assault with injury carries a maximum potential penalty of up to $4,000 in fines and up to a year in jail.
According to the Austin police arrest affidavit, Benson was at Annie's West bar in the Sixth Street entertainment district on May 30 when he got into an altercation with another, unknown bar patron that left him spitting blood from a cut lip. After staff intervened, witnesses told police Benson shoved a bar worker and was verbally abusive. After being asked to leave, Benson was escorted to the door.
Bartender Bryan White told police that once outside, Benson complained to people passing by that "all these white boys are ganging up on me and kicking me out."
White said he told Benson he wouldn't take time out of his night just to kick him out, then Benson punched him in the face.
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Willie Colon will have surgery today to repair a torn right Achilles' tendon and is expected to miss the season.
Colon was injured while working out on his own at the Steelers' practice complex on Monday. The Steelers haven't officially ruled Colon out for the season, but such an injury typically sidelines a player for at least nine months.
• The Seattle Seahawks signed safety Kevin Ellison to a new contract a week after claiming him off waivers. The team says it had to claim the former Chargers player last week, then waive him and allow him to clear waivers before Seattle could rework a new deal.
• The Minnesota Vikings waived quarterback R.J. Archer, a rookie free agent from William and Mary. It leaves four quarterbacks on Minnesota's roster, assuming Brett Favre decides to play this season. Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels and Joe Webb are the others.
The United States finished group play unbeaten after defeating the Czech Republic 9-0 at the world softball championships in Caracas, Venezuela. Eileen Canney was the winning pitcher with eight strikeouts and Alissa Haber had a three-run double.
The victory gives the United States the top spot in Group B. Japan also went 7-0 in Group A after its 10-0 win over South Africa. Four playoff games are set for today, with four more on Thursday. The championship game is Friday.
Rickey Barnes and J.B. Holmes combined for a string of seven consecutive birdies on the back nine and captured the Charity Classic in Barrington, R.I., with a final 36-hole score of 21-under 121. That total was two strokes shy of the tournament record set by Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price in 2001.
Barnes and Holmes finished one stroke ahead of Angela Stanford and Brett Quigley in the best-ball format.
• Defending champion Mike Small shot a course-record 7-under 65 to take a four-stroke lead entering the final round of the PGA Professional National Championships in French Lick, Ind. Small, the Illinois men's coach, was at 9-under 205.

Positive Being fosters the integration of the physical, healing, and spiritual nature of our bodies to effect positive change in the health and well-being of those with HIV.
Exploring the Body Positive
Positive Being announces it's 8th annual "Exploring the Body Positive," an exciting workshop for poz men, to be held on May 8-10, 2015. We gather together at Wildwood, a beautiful, mountaintop retreat center near the Russian River, to find both solace and joy. We will discover how opening our hearts and bodies to each other can create a sense of well-being and delight.
Together we will acknowledging and move beyond the losses due to HIV, expanding our fund of compassion — for ourselves as well as others. The workshop also teaches us to share touch in a nurturing way, keeping us grounded and helping us to reclaim our bodies as sites of pleasure and a source of healing strength.
Scholarships will available for a LIMITED TIME only (until May 3, 2015).

I was really surprised by the quality, it is NOT a cheap flimsy little plastic thing. It's really strong and authentic looking. It fits my head but I think it could possibly be too small for someone with a large head.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Reviews of Our Work
Web Zone Studios has more than proven their worth as a top-ranking web design company.
Posted by Allen Brouillette on 04/18/2011To Whom It May Concern; I am writing this letter in regards to work that Web Zone Studios has done for us. I have experienced nothing short of outstanding satisfaction in every single facet of our professional relationship. Web Zone Studios was contracted by me to set-up and create our business site, Web Zone Studios complied with my concepts and needs, they enhanced them by taking creative liberties that have inspired me to have nothing less than total faith in their ability to handle any web-based work that I need accomplished.
Web Zone Studios has, on numerous occasions, demonstrated to me an absolute mastery over a broad range of web design skills and applications.
Web Zone Studios has more than proven their worth as a top-ranking web design company. Their fast response to questions and problems, excellent customer support, and innovative design techniques, Web Zone Studios is also competitively priced, making them an excellent choice in a market flooded with high-priced web design firms and corporations. From the day I started doing business with them I have never regretted the decision, much less considered taking my business to another company. Their absolute honesty, integrity, and business ethic elevate them above the standard set by other web design companies thereby raising the bar for what web design companies must strive to achieve.

Webzone Studios made the process of having a website made into a delight. The designers were easy to talk to, highly professional, open to my ideas, available for me when I wanted to know about my site, and they always had the work done in a timely fashion. I would recommend their services to anyone who wants an attractive website that meets all of one's needs with unsurpassed, quality service.
You can count on these folks!
Posted by Maria Bohorquez on 10/22/2010
The whole process for my website went as smooth as possible. Unlike another web design company I worked with in the past and disappeared on me, Web Zone Studios almost always picked up there phone or called me back within the hour.
There graphic designers and website designers all work at the office I went and visited them a few times and watched them work on my website. it was fun!! I recommend Web zone, especially if you have had bad experiences in the past with shady web design companies. Web Zone knows how to handle there customers.

Motortrend provides some reasoning behind why the upcoming F10 M5 may be M-division's first automatic-only model, featuring a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission only and no manual or dual clutch transmission option. (Thus far, the F10 M5 has only been spotted with automatic transmission)
Their reasoning for the lack of a DCT option is due to the monstrous torque that the F10 M5′s twin turbo DI 4.4L V8 motor from the X5M/X6M is expected to generate. The F10 M5 is expected to feature more power than even the … CONTINUED
SCOTT26 provides info on next generation 3-series, for which BMW is considering an "AFAST," a mix between "MPV, SAV and Touring" and GT model. Also details on the debut dates of the F30 sedan, F32 coupe, and F33 convertible.
SCOTT26 provides a glimpse into possible F2X generation 1-series models, including a Gran Coupe Sports Sedan and a Shooting Brake model. The confirmed models (Coupe and Convertible) are also discussed in some more detail.
CAR provides some new renders, details, and speculations on the upcoming baby BMW roadster, the Z2, and the 1-series GT. Both models are based on the UKL1 front-drive transverse architecture, standing for untere klasse in German. It's at the core of BMW's plans to become more efficient at making small cars. Power for the new UKL1 front-drive BMWs comes from three- and four-cylinder engines, spinning the front wheels, although four-wheel drive is enabled by UKL1 as it's required for the Countryman. Getrag will build the … CONTINUED
theage.com is reporting that BMW has confirmed the reveal of a small roadster concept at the Geneva autoshow next month, one which will preview an eventual production roadster which slots in under the Z4. Could it possibly be the long rumored BMW Z2, or just a description of the BMW Connected Drive Roadster Concept?
If so, could this possibly mean that there are two concept roadsters headed for a Geneva reveal? BMW insider SCOTT26 has stated that the BMW Connected Drive Roadster Concept will be unveiled at … CONTINUED
It appears that the next generation 1-series (F20) will be the first BMW to feature integrated side view mirror lights. We first suspected this when the F20′s latest stage of camouflage was first spied. Here was the circumstantial evidence:
* BMW test mules often have the orange tape/stripe on its side view mirrors, as camouflage/decoy. However, this decoy tape has always been removed once the heavy camouflage on the car's lights are removed. With the F20, the heavy camouflage on the test mules' … CONTINUED
Confirming the importance of the Chinese market to BMW, the F10 M5 Concept Car will debut at the Shanghai Autoshow in April, rather than at the Geneva show where it was originally intended to be debuted. Geneva will instead feature the debut of the BMW Connected Drive Roadster Concept.
The first details of the M5 production car will be launched in mid-summer and the
production F10 M5 will be shown at the IAA Frankfurt for it's World public Premiere. US Public Premiere will be at the … CONTINUED
In an interview with Automotive News, Jaguar's global brand director, Adrian Hallmark, lets known that the UK automotive company is currently considering bringing a small sedan to market. This new sedan would slot in under the Jaguar XF and compete directly against the F30 3-series or the Audi A4/A5.
The last time Jaguar introduced a smaller sedan with lower pricing to take on the 3-series was with the Ford Mondeo based X-type, which had little success in the competitive compact sports sedan segment.
But, Jaguar may be ready … CONTINUED
Not many details have been confirmed yet on the upcoming F10 M5, but in a recent interview with the head of M division, Dr. Kay Segler has confirmed that ceramic brakes for the F10 M5 is in the works! When posed with the question whether future M cars will be available with a ceramic brakes option, he responded that it's being worked on, for the M5.
This would represent the first time that ceramic brakes are offered as an option on a production BMW. Ceramic brakes provide … CONTINUED
This image is said to be a close approximation on the looks of the upcoming BMW 1-series Gran Turismo (GT). The 1-series GT will be the next Gran Turismo model in the BMW lineup following the 5-series GT and preceding the next generation 3-series Gran Turismo model.
The 1 series GT is a mixture of a 5 door hatch and a touring shape. Rear legroom is almost on par with the 5-series sedan.
China has really proved itself to be ahead of the curve on the EV front and it seems BMW will come on board and produce an all electric 5-Series exclusively for the Chinese market.
This new car is not to be confused with the ActiveHybrid 5, which will have its official launch in September 2011. The ActiveHybrid 5 still has a gasoline motor afterall. No this new car will be an all electric vehicle and would likely fall under BMWs growing ActiveE project.
Autonews Europe is referencing … CONTINUED
Although the BMW Z2 Roadster and Z2 Coupe are not expected to debut until 2013, we should begin to see and hear more news and renderings in 2011, like this latest one from Carmagazine UK. The Z2 has been designed at Designworks and will be based on the next generation F20 1-series platform. BMW's design philosophy is to keep the car lighweight, dynamic, and sporty by using a high strength steel body with aluminum doors and front bonnet. Based on earlier rumors, the target weight for … CONTINUED
On the heels of the big BMW turbo 4-cylinder news yesterday, SCOTT26 has provided some dates for the switchover of certain BMW models from the current inline 6-cylinder to the new twinpower turbo I4 motor, as well as the end of production of the current 3-series, M3 and 1-series.
Here is the I4 switchover and end of production schedule (inside).
We reported earlier about the rumor that BMW was considering to build a fourth model at the US plant in Spartanburg, SC. Ian Robertson, member of the BMW board of management responsible for sales and marketing, now confirmed with FAZ that they were actually looking into this. While there's no final decision, Robertson said they "would by no means put that off the table." The US market continues to be the most important market for premium vehicles, so an US production would make sense for either … CONTINUED
Automobile has just tweeted some interesting news on the base Z4 which corroborates a recent report from a ZPOST member. If these reports are correct, the base BMW Z4 will soon be powered by two turbo 4-cylinder variants (sDrive20i and 28i) instead of the current naturally aspirated inline 6-cylinder. This would not come as a huge surprise as recent rhetoric from BMW has pointed to the likely use of turbo 4-cylinder engines in future BMW base models (i.e. next generation F30 3-series), especially with improvements in … CONTINUED
Autocar Magazine in the UK is speculating that the rumored 3-cylinder engine that BMW has been working on for some time now, will be seen under the hood of the F30 3-Series. This should come as no surprise, as the 3-Series is the bread and butter volume car in the BMW brand, and such an efficient engine would go a long way into promoting BMW as THE brand for sustainability.
The engine itself is rumored to be a 1.5L 3-Cylinder diesel engine … CONTINUED
There is currently an inventory of over 27,000 "446″ BMW fuel pumps in the USA, which is potentially a good sign that BMW will be using this particular pump design to be the permanent final fix to the HPFP issues affecting N54 and N55 motors. There is usually an inventory of no more than 1000 fuel pumps in the USA at any given time.
Previous rumors have speculated that the Vision Efficientdynamics production model would be named the i100 or M100, but the latest rumor from BMW insider Scott26 is that it will be called the i8 and there will unfortunately be no M version.

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: November 2014
Following the Nov. 4 midterm elections, nearly half of Americans expect increased debate between the two parties over the Affordable Care Act. In comparison, 42 percent say the amount of debate will not change, and very few (5%) say it will decrease. Conducted just prior to the start of the ACA's second open enrollment season, the poll also probes the views of people without health insurance, one of the key target groups for outreach and enrollment efforts. It finds the uninsured remain largely unaware of the renewed opportunity to purchase or enroll in health insurance through the marketplaces over the next few months.Poll Finding Read More

French Onion Soup
105 minutes
6 large onions, peeled & sliced into rings
1/2 Cup butter
6 cans (10.5 oz. each) beef broth
1 Cup water
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1-1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
bay leaf
10 slices French Bread, croutons or any bread you like
mozzarella cheese slices
How to make it
In a large soup pot saute onions in the butter until they are softened and start to become translucent. About 20 minutes or so.
Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder, pepper, Worcestershire sauce & bay leaf to the pan and bring to a boil.
After the soup comes to a boil, reduce heat & simmer for 45 minutes.
Before serving remove bay leaf.
Ladle soup into bowls, top with one piece of bread or many croutons and a slice of cheese.
Broil in oven or microwave long enough to melt cheese.
(We like to use croutons just so there are bite sized pieces of bread, something else I've found at our grocery store is a bag full of little round bread pieces in different flavors, those work nice too.)
