Empanada Pastry Recipe
Monday, 26 May 2008
DescriptionThis recipe works well with all of the following fillings, and because it's baked, the empanadas can be prepared in advance of serving. For more flavor and heat, add ground chile to the dough before rolling out and cutting the pastry.
At a glance
New Mexican
Cooking Method
Heat Level
Appetizer/Hors d'oeuvre
About 2 dozen appetizer-sized empanadas
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks. The mixture should resemble coarse cornmeal.
Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and lightly toss with a fork to incorporate it. Add only enough water for the dough to hold together and be gathered into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for an hour. Bring the dough back to room temperature before rolling.
To make the crust, gently roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch and use a cutter to cut circles to the desired diameter. Place a couple of spoonfuls of the filling off-center on each circle. Brush the edges with water, fold in half and seal securely using either your finger or a fork.
Brush the empanadas with the egg glaze, place on a lightly oiled baking pan, and bake them for 10 to 20 minutes, or until golden.
Remove them from the pan and cool them on a rack before serving.

The President's speech tonight will introduce a specific piece of legislation called "The American Jobs Act," which would have been a decent name for the stimulus in January 2009. The price tag will be in the $300-$400 billion range, but we know that at least half of it, and perhaps as much as 2/3, will come from extending current law on the payroll tax cut, extended unemployment insurance and perhaps a business expensing tax break. These were all part of the 2010 tax deal, and the fact that they weren't made for two years in that deal is just another example of the political malpractice of this Administration.
But even if these big current law extensions get included in a final package that actually passes Congress, extending current law is not stimulative. It maintains the status quo, a status quo where the economy is stuck in the mud. So the rest of the package would have to provide the oomph to actually increase demand. And we're talking about $100-$200 billion for that, which is just not enough to get the job done.
"The kick to growth is going to be pretty small. It will add substantially less than 1% to GDP growth in 2012," said Nigel Gault, the chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight […]
Obama's proposal is expected to include new infrastructure spending, targeted tax cuts and payments to local and state governments. While details are still murky, sources confirmed the package's overall size was around $300 billion.
"If we're talking about whether the package is big enough to … start making a dent, it's probably going to fall short of that goal," said Gary Burtless, a labor economist at the Brookings Institution.
More from the LA Times, which notes how starkly different the soaring rhetoric of the 2008 campaign was from this prose. That's to be expected, except for the fact that, for all intents and purposes, this IS a campaign speech. Republicans aren't going to pass the President's plans. And so there should theoretically be no constraints on the imagination in terms of job creation ideas. I think it's irrelevant whether this pre-compromised approach works as a negotiation strategy because there isn't going to be a negotiation. But it definitely doesn't work as a political strategy to offer a jobs program that every expert says won't create enough jobs to make much of a difference.

Rain's a pain
The weather is playing havoc with the Speedway season but Lakeside can shine on Monday, says Kelvin.
Last Updated: 15/06/12 12:23pm
We're in June but the weather continues to play havoc with the Speedway season.
Second and third place in the Elite League go head-to-head live on Sky Sports on Monday night at Lakeside - assuming there's a break in the rain!
Swindon and Lakeside both had their Wednesday night fixtures cancelled because of the weather and will be hoping this crucial clash gets the go-ahead.
The weather has been really frustrating this season for the Elite League teams. With the awful weather running through April, May and June a lot of riders have found themselves flying in from Poland or Sweden only to be told they're not riding that night.
At least the international riders have been getting some track time on the continent - it's been far worse for the domestic riders who have sometimes had up to two weeks without a race, which is far from ideal.
It means there's no continuity, it affects riders' confidence and stops them from getting into a rhythm and the flow of the season.
Pirates on top
But it's the same for everyone and Poole Pirates have sailed through the storms better than anyone else. They're top of the league and undefeated this season. Both Lakeside and Swindon will be desperate for points on Monday to stay in touch with the high-flying Pirates.
They've both been on a pretty good run and had a strong start to the season. Lakeside of course tragically lost their captain Lee Richardson a few weeks ago. They will be looking to key men Davey Watt, who is on loan from Poole, and Peter Karlsson to perform for them on Monday. They've been going great guns. Robert Mear is a young Brit who's down in reserve has been going well for them too.
Meanwhile, Hans Anderson continues to lead the way for Swindon. Young Dane Peter Kildemand, in his first full season, has been quite a revelation and it will be interesting to see how he goes. Troy Batchelor is also in their team and although the young Australian hasn't found top form this year he's got lots of quality. You'd certainly expect that trio to be capable of getting plenty of points on Monday.
Lakeside have already been beaten at home this season by Poole and they don't want to be beaten by Swindon. Home form is vital if you want to make the top four and the play-offs.
Swindon will be going there to win, of course, but they'll at least want to lose by less than six to pick up at least one league point and go away with something.
I'm predicting a home win. It's a technical, tight track at Lakeside and there's no question it gives the hosts a home advantage. But I also sense Swindon are more than capable of picking up something.

Letter: Putting a face my face on Romney's '47 percent'
Bruce Cady, Vero Beach
Letter: Putting a face — my face — on Romney's '47 percent'
I am the 47 percent. I have been deeply saddened by the tone and disregard for an unemotional discourse during this 2012 presidential election. One item that has caught my attention compelled me to address publicly. It is Gov. Mitt Romney's lack of commitment to "47 percent" of the country.
To my Republican friends, I ask that you consider this: I received a government ROTC scholarship to attend college, serving nearly 10 years in the Marine Corps. This degree has allowed me to obtain professional positions for the nearly all 15 years of my post-military career.
By definition, this makes me part of the 47 percent.
While I was recently unemployed after the financial market crash, I used the unemployment benefits I received from the state of Florida to pay for COBRA to ensure my three children received proper medical insurance coverage. Once again, by definition this makes me part of the 47 percent.
As a father of three, I must determine whether I will save for my children's college education or my retirement.
Herein lies my predicament: If I spend my savings on my children's education I will certainly depend on Social Security for a portion of my retirement. If I save for retirement, I will not be able to qualify for financial aid for college expenses. Either way, I will become one of the 47 percent.
I ask that before you condemn a near majority of our great country. Please put a face to your fellow citizens.

responsibility for the time travel part if I would work on the rocket. I
am a little worried about the propulsion system though, since the masses

There were some interesting bits. Seeing an outline of the software API
classifications was interesting from a theoretical point of view, but
unless/until GNUStep takes off, there isn't much hope that programming for
the Mac GUI will ever become portable. I can't say I see MacOS X pulling
Linux people away from Intel hardware... too many proprietary software
tools. On the other hand, if you are a Mac afficionado (as I used to be
many years ago), this is a _very_ overdue upgrade. The chicken-and-egg
conundrum has to be bypassed and the transition must be made, but I think
Apple is going to have to drag their user base through it to make it
The "Classic" virtual machine sounds good, though in practice the
restriction against direct hardware access is bound to break naughty
software so users will grumble. The "Carbon" API is a transitional
backward/forward compatible compromise that shouldn't be too difficult to
port up to. And the "Cocoa" API effectively requires programmers to make
the leap to Objective-C, which means they think it is the wave of Apple's
future. I don't think Mac users are going to
Mr. Doss advertised the portability of Unix console apps as quite
portable. However, portability of Unix GUI code (XWindows) to MacOS X is
not supported by Apple, though X is available online. This, and the
heavy dependence on NetInfo (see http://freshmeat.net/projects/netinfo/)
give pause for thought when considering a transition to or
network integration of . The byline in
http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/comment/0,5859,2657124,00.html voices
the comparison between NetInfo and the Windows Registry that occurred to
more than one audience member last night. I don't know whether that is
cause for condemnation or not, but it doesn't inspire immediate
enthusiasm. And security (encrypted network data) didn't appear to be a
high priority.
Mr. Doss expressed the opinion that all computers suck... just in
different ways (at which point Bill Kendrick good-naturedly pointed out
that that means he is an "OS whore"). He says he has several OSes on his
home system, including Windows and Linux. When asked what he thought it
would take to get Apple to open-source more of their API code, he said
that simply selecting open-source solutions over proprietary ones would
drive everyone in that direction. He did indicate a willingness to come
speak on the topic of how to program in Objective-C using GNUStep... I
just hope he brings some presentation materials when he does so, because
keeping up with the discussion last night was quite a challenge.

I spy, with my pretty eyes, a new tattoo on Ariana Grande's neck. The petite pop star posted a pic of herself getting inked by famous tattoo artist Romeo Lacoste. From what I can make out, the tattoo says "Mille tendresse," which means a "thousand tendernesses" in French. The phrase was in one of my favorite novels ever, Breakfast at Tiffany's.

When you get to the grub screen where you can choose the OS, move the selection to another OS (if you have one configured). This stops the 'will boot in 5 secs' timer.
Move the selection back onto the Linux install that you are interested in and press 'e'. you are then presented with the contents of the grub.conf file for that entry. Select the line to edit, then press 'e' again and you are taken into the grub 'shell' where you can edit the line. I think, pressing enter takes you back, then pressing 'b' resumes the boot process.
I hope that is correct as I'm doing this from memory cos I'm not infront of a linux box at the moment, and I only discovered how to do that the other night, however there are prompts (I think).

As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis Sentenced to Prison for Plotting Wife's Murder (UPDATE)
Update (May 18, 2014): Tim Lambesis has been sentenced to six years in prison for plotting to murder his wife, according to Billboard. He was arrested last year after hiring an undercover detective to kill his wife, Meggan. Tim, 33, is the frontman for metalcore band As I Lay Dying.
He and Megann had recently split up, and Tim claims that he hatched the idea to murder her out of fear that he wouldn't see their kids and that she would end up with a lot of money in divorce proceedings. His lawyer also says that his steroid use was to blame.
Update (February 26, 2014): Tim Lambesis, the frontman for As I Lay Dying, pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of murder on February 25, as the Associated Press reports — admitting that he tried to hire someone to kill his estranged wife, Meggan, in May 2013. Tim will remain free on $2 million bond until his sentencing, which is scheduled for May 2.
Update (September 16, 2013): Tim Lambesis will stand trail on charges he attempted to kill his estranged wife, reports Huffington Post.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert Kearney announced his decision on Monday, September 16, after hearing testimony from various witnesses including undercover officer Howard Bradley, who posed as a hitman when he met with the As I Lay Dying frontman.
Tim has pleaded not guilty to solicitation for murder and will be arraigned on the charges on Tuesday, October 22. A date for the trial when then be set.
Original story (May 8, 2013): Tim Lambesis and his wife Meggan reportedly adopted three children from Ethiopia before separating. She filed for divorce last September, and on Tuesday he was arrested for allegedly hiring a hit man to kill her.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Grammy-nominated As I Lay Dying singer was arrested in Oceanside, California, on May 7, and charged on three federal counts — one count of solicitation to commit murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit crime. Tim, 32, was reportedly "arrested without incident while shopping." Authorities told L.A. Now that he had "attempted to hire an undercover sheriff's detective for the murder."
As I Lay Dying is sometimes referred to as a Christian heavy metal band. Tim stated on the band's website's FAQ: "I'm not sure what the difference is between five Christians playing in a band and a Christian band. If you truly believe something, then it should affect every area of your life. All five of us are Christians. I believe that change should start with me first, and as a result, our lyrics do not come across very 'preachy.' Many of our songs are about life, struggles, mistakes, relationships and other issues that don't fit entirely in the spiritual category. However, all of these topics are written about through my perspective as a Christian."
As I Lay Dying's summer tour was scheduled to launch May 30 in Oklahoma City; it's not clear yet how this arrest may affect plans.

JPMorgan reportedly could settle manipulation charges for $500M
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) is reportedly in talks with federal energy regulators to settle accusations of market manipulation, allegedly stemming from the bidding activities of energy traders in Houston. The potential price tag to settle: about $500 million, The New York Timesreports Wednesday.
Last May, news of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's potential actionagainst the New York financial giant went public after the New York Times reported on a leaked, 70-page government document detailing allegations against JPMorgan.
FERC alleged JPMorgan traders misrepresented prices of electricity contracts with California and Michigan between September 2010 and June 2011, resulting in authorities of those states providing about $83 million in over-payments to JPMorgan, the largest bank in Houston with $56.4 billion in deposits here.
If the energy markets regulator fines the bank $500 million, that could be a record for FERC, according to the Times.
"We intend to vigorously defend the firm and the employees in this matter," Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan, said in a May statement.
FERC had sent the big bank its notice in March, and industry observers had mixed reactions to the news when I called for comment two months ago.
Visit the Houston Business Journal for more insight into the JPMorgan Chase story.

Whether you were a kid bringing in a sweet for a bakesale, or a college kid making a late-night study break, we've probably all had brownies made from a boxed mix.

As a kid, I knew the Christmas season was nearing when my mother came home with Dreyer's peppermint ice cream. (Dreyer's is known as Edy's elsewhere in the country.)

LI-NING and NBA Champion Dwyane Wade Name Alejandro Ingelmo as a Creative Consultant for WADE
China's leading sportswear company, LI-NING Company, and NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade announced that award-winning footwear and accessory designer Alejandro Ingelmo has been selected as a Creative Consultant for Special Projects for WADE, the new athletic and lifestyle footwear and apparel collection launched in October. As Chief Brand Officer, Wade personally selected Ingelmo as his first design hire to collaborate on two sneakers for WADE.
Often referred to simply by his initials "AI," the Cuban-American Ingelmo has been turning heads with his modern and innovative looks that pay homage to traditional craftsmanship, his Cuban heritage, and New York City's edge, since he launched his first line in 2006. His boutique retail store on Wooster Street in Manhattan's Soho area is a favorite among celebrities and athletes, including Wade, Rihanna, Chris Evans, Emma Stone, Joe Jonas, Rita Ora, Allison Williams, Christina Ricci, and others. In 2008, AI, who grew up in Miami, was a Top Ten finalist of the prestigious CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund, which recognizes the best up-and-coming design talent. He was nominated in both 2009 and 2011 for the Swarovski Award for Accessory Design.
"I've been of a fan of AI for a long time now and from the moment I partnered with LI-NING I've been excited to bring him onto our design team," said Wade. "Alejandro's knowledge of mixing fashion and street elements into his designs mirrors my personal style and the vision for the footwear we will bring to the market."
AI's first design for WADE will be a lifestyle/basketball cultural sneaker that leverages the Way of WADE on-court shoe that Wade has been wearing during games this season. The shoe will be available in spring 2013 after debuting during AI's Fashion Week Show in New York City in February.
"Working with Dwyane and LI-NING is a great opportunity for me and I'm excited for us to collaborate on some amazing products," said Ingelmo. "Dwyane's style pushes boundaries with his edgy approach to traditional silhouettes. I've been very impressed with the on-court WADE sneaker designs I've seen so far and they're helping inspire my design, which I believe will be something very special and unlike anything else out there."

THE propulsion system used by slime-squirting bacteria could teach rocket scientists and nano-engineers some new tricks.
Myxobacteria are micrometre-scale filament-shaped organisms that glide along surfaces, leaving a trail of slime in their wake. Biologists were convinced the bugs produced the slime as lubricant, but couldn't explain how they generated the force to move.
Now it turns out that the bacteria push themselves along by ejecting the slime from nozzles on their bodies. "They are little rockets," says Andrey Dobrynin, a polymer scientist at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.
Myxobacteria have 250 nozzles located on each end. By squirting slime from one set or the other they can dart forward or back at up to 10 micrometres per second.
Dobrynin and a colleague simulated the formation of the slime to see how it could generate thrust. Its key component is a polysaccharide - a chain of molecules created by a ...

Ieva from Riga, Latvia about Like A Local Guide:
First of all, I'd like to thank your team, because "Like A Local Guide" is really great, both for tourists and locals.
First time I heard about it, I found a city map of Riga in a cafe. I opened it, started reading and took it home with me. I read it all and found some tips about places that I didn't know existed and some true things about places I like. So it felt real and I followed some tips and now I know more interesting places in my city to go to.
I registered because next week I'm going to Tallinn and I wanted to explore the city before I went there. I remembered the great tips I read before about Riga and hoped that I'll find some things that I like in Tallinn. So now I'm exploring and it's nice, because in other tourist guides there is nothing written about underground places and there are not that much guides made for students and their wallets.
And YES, I found what I was looking for and I will keep looking, maybe I will find something, that I didn't even seek.

If you've suffered an injury due to another party's negligence, you may have legal ground to file a personal injury claim.
Common sources of injury, such as a car accident, slip and fall, workplace injury, or defective product can all cause serious physical and financial harm. A personal injury claim allows you to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
If you think that another party may be responsible for your personal injury, consider speaking with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Working with an injury lawyer can help you determine whether or not you should pursue your personal injury claim.
You can only pursue a personal injury claim if:
Sometimes more than one party is liable. In that case:
Even if you can prove that another party was responsible for your personal injuries, you can't recover in a personal injury case unless your personal injury attorney can show compensatory damages such as:
If you can prove damages, you and your personal injury lawyer will need to review them together to determine whether or not they are sufficient to justify moving forward. If your personal injuries are slight and your losses small, then you may not be able to recover enough to justify the investment of time, lost work, and evidence collection required to pursue your claim.
Personal injury cases require an investment. If you're going to file a claim, you have to be prepared:
If you're ready to move forward and pursue the compensation you deserve, call Total Injury at 877-288-7564 or fill out our free case evaluation form below and take the first step right now!
The legal process can be daunting, and you probably don't have enough knowledge of the law or your options to make clear decisions about your next steps. If you're unsure how to proceed, a free consultation with one of the personal injury lawyers who sponsor Total Injury may be a good way to figure out your case.
You may not discover the strength or weakness of your case or what you might have stood to recover unless you speak with a personal injury lawyer who can explain your personal injury rights.
Make sure that you have the information you need to make an educated decision-and gather that information before you take any action that might affect your case, like talking to an insurance company.
All you have to do is submit a free online case evaluation form or call us toll-free at 877-288-7564. We'll connect you with a personal injury attorney in your area who will arrange a free consultation for you and help you learn more about the personal injury case steps involved in recovering any damages that may very well be entitled to you.
Sometimes personal injuries can cost so much money, you cannot handle the financial burden in addition to your regular living costs, and you may be forced to turn to other options.
The above summary is by no means all-inclusive and is not legal advice. Laws may have changed since our last update. For the latest information on personal injury laws, speak to a local personal injury lawyer in your state.
Some bumps and bruises are a natural part of life. But when your pain is caused by reckless behavior, abusive behavior or negligent practices, Total Injury is there.
If you were injured as a result of someone's negligence or intentional actions against you, you may have the right to compensation for any injury, damage or loss caused by the person at fault. About Us »

analysisBy Ronak Gopaldas
Families of Indian origin control some of Africa's largest companies and three of the continent's richest men are Indo-African.
The Dewji family owns Mohammed Enterprises Tanzania, with interests in manufacturing, distribution, trading, haulage, storage and real estate.
Annual revenues are $1.3 billion and the firm employs a workforce of over 20,000 people, according to CE Mohamed Dewji, who runs the family business.
In Ghana, the diversified Mohinani Group has created 3,000 jobs in its multi-sector operations that range from packaging and plastics to trade and distribution of chemicals.
In Uganda, Ashish Thakkar began his entrepreneurial journey in 1997 as a high school student selling computers to his schoolmates and friends. Today his operation has grown into a diversified conglomerate with approximately $1 billion in revenues, according to Mr Thakkar, a 32-year-old billionaire now residing in Dubai.
In addition to these prosperous families, three men of Indian origin - Vimal Shah, Sudhir Ruparelia and Naushad Merali - are among the 50 richest people in Africa in 2013, according to Forbes magazine.
They are among the estimated 2.3m people of Indian origin living in Africa, according to India's Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs. The vast majority live in South Africa and Mauritius, but many sizable Indian diaspora communities are thriving across the continent's southern, eastern and western regions.
Mr Shah, 18th on the Forbes list, is chief executive of Kenya-based Bidco Oil Refineries, the largest manufacturer of edible oils in east and central Africa.
Indian businessmen such as Mr Shah have been trading in Africa since the 16th century. For 300 years, these businessmen favoured the east African coast because of its proximity to India. They traded pepper and textiles in exchange for ivory, animal pelts, tortoise shells and gold, according to Zoe Marsh and G.W. Kingsnorth's "A History of East Africa".
Labour, not trade, brought the Indians to settle permanently in east Africa. Following the abolition of slavery by the British in 1833, the colonies urgently needed manpower.
To meet this demand, the British established an organised system of temporary labour migration from the Indian sub-continent. The British colonial powers forced Indian labourers to work on colonial infrastructure projects such as the Uganda railway, which linked the interiors of Uganda and Kenya with the Indian Ocean and was completed in 1901.
The British colony of Natal in southern Africa also needed cheap workers, especially on its sugar plantations. So it struck a deal with Britain and the British Indian government to import indentured labourers from India.
This suited India, too, because many peasants in India were unemployed.
Between 1860 and 1911 more than 150,000 Indian migrants arrived in Natal as indentured labourers, wrote Rick Halpern, a University of Toronto history professor in a March 2004 article in the Journal of Southern African Studies. Although the majority worked on the sugar cane plantations, many also worked on the railways, dockyards, in the municipal services, in coalmines and in domestic service.
The next wave of Indian immigrants to east Africa arrived in the early to mid-20th century, according to J.S. Mangat in "A History of the Asians in East Africa: 1886-1945". Unlike their predecessors, they came voluntarily.
Many of them, primarily from Mumbai, Gujarat and other western areas of India, were middle-class merchants. Unlike previous Indian traders, they brought their families and first settled permanently in coastal cities such as Kenya's Lamu and Mombasa. They later moved to Kenya's capital, Nairobi, Uganda's Kampala, and Tanzania's largest city, Dar es Salaam. This second wave were known as "passenger Indians" because they paid their fares to board steamships.
Indians from Gujarat also arrived in Zambia in 1905 in what was then the British territory of North-Eastern Rhodesia. About 20,500 Indian citizens and Afro-Indians currently reside in Zambia, according to India's overseas ministry. Most work as traders, according to the Indian High Commission.
Indians emigrated to west Africa after mass violence erupted with the dissolution of the British Raj in India in 1947. Sindhis - from India's north-west - were the first to arrive on Ghana's shores, initially as traders and shopkeepers.
Gradually, in the 1950s and 1960s, a few started manufacturing garments, plastics, textiles and other goods, according to the Indian Association of Ghana. About 10,000 Indian citizens live in Ghana, and about 30,000 Indo-Africans live in Nigeria, according to the overseas Indian affairs ministry.
Their entrepreneurial nature and adventurous approach to business led the Sindhi community to search for new opportunities far from home. From anecdotal discussions with older members of his family, which spans from Lagos, Nigeria to Port Louis, Mauritius, this writer can testify that this was the main driving factor.
In addition to commerce, the Indian community has also made a significant contribution to Africa's social and political fabric. Mohandas Gandhi began his career in activism in South Africa.
During his 21 years there from 1893 to 1914, he developed satyagraha, his hallmark philosophy of nonviolent resistance that led India to achieve independence in 1947.
African independence leaders such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, Tanzania's Julius Nyerere and Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda have stated that Gandhi's philosophies and achievements inspired them.
Yet despite the myriad successes, the past 60 years have not been plain sailing or Africa's Indian population. Indian diaspora communities and locals have at various times accused each other of discrimination, especially in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. In these east African countries, relations between these groups hit their nadir between the late 1960s to the early 1980s over the issues of nationalisation and citizenship.
Uganda's dictator Idi Amin ordered the expulsion in August 1972 of 80,000 people of Indian and Pakistani heritage and gave them 90 days to leave, according to Elliott P. Skinner in the 1979 "Strangers in African Societies".
In Tanzania and Kenya, Africans perceived Indians as the main reason for the economic malaise in their respective countries. This "Indophobia" fuelled the nationalisation of Asian-owned businesses in the 1970s and 1980s. In Kenya, Asian-owned shops and homes were looted and Asian women were raped in the chaos that followed an unsuccessful coup attempt in 1982, according to news reports.
Reasons for resentment towards Indians in these countries are varied.
During the colonial period, Indians occupied a middle position between black and white in the colonial hierarchy. They lived in their own communities and often received more privilege than Africans.
Under British rule, for example, Indians in Kenya prospered more than Africans and even won nominal representation on the legislative council. President Yoweri Museveni's 1986 election turned the tide for Indians in Uganda.
He restituted expropriated property and invited Indians to return to boost the trade and manufacturing that had declined after Mr Amin's expulsion of Asians, according to Renu Modi, faculty member and former director of the Centre for African Studies at Mumbai University.
Sanjiv Patel is among those who returned. He came back to Uganda from Kenya in 1991. He is now the director of Tomil Agricultural Limited, a diversified family business that trades cotton, coffee, tobacco and other commodities. "I'm a third-generation Ugandan and a returnee," Mr Patel said in a 2011 article published by India's The Economic Times. "I consider this my home."
Like Mr Patel, Indians started returning to east Africa, mostly from the UK, in the early 1990s after trade was liberalised, bringing with them their expertise and investments, according to "They Came to Africa: 200 Years of the Asian Presence in Tanzania", a book of oral histories compiled by Lois Lobo and published in 2000.
The ghosts of the Amin regime's expulsion still linger for many of Africa's older generation of Indians. They worry that they will never be truly accepted in their adoptive countries.
The younger generation, however, view themselves as African first and Indian second. They have come to terms with the diaspora's complex identity politics.

DURHAM, N.H. - Last fall saw the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team (7-8-3 overall, 5-4-2) earn a berth to the America East tournament for the first time since 1994. With eight starters and 85 percent of its offensive production returning, and a recruiting class with the potential for extra firepower, the 2002 edition of the Wildcats will look to take the next step and challenge for a conference title.
Leading this year's squad are senior co-captains Doug Lawver (Doylestown, Pa.) and Christian Pauckstadt (Wuppertal, Germany). Lawver, who will hold the captaincy for the third straight season, solidified the Wildcat midfield last fall. A natural leader, Lawver notched five helpers in 2001, moving him into sixth on UNH's all-time assists list with 15. Pauckstadt was injured early in the season, but returned down the stretch to add toughness and defensive prowess to the Wildcat backfield, often times drawing the toughest marking assignments.
Last year, the 'Cats won when it counted most, finishing with an undefeated record in league games at home (4-0-1) and in overtime contests (4-0-3), including dramatic OT come-from-behind victories over Drexel and Hofstra during the final weekend of the regular season.
The forward spots are up for grabs with junior Josh Hareld's (N. Kingstown, R.I.) move to the midfield. Junior Nicola Chicco (Claymont, Del.) recorded 2-2-6 last season and should be a force up front after having an impressive spring. Sophomore Logan Lee (Racine, Wis.) was an America East All-Rookie Team member in 2001 and ranked third on the squad in scoring (4-1-9). Junior Matt Glode (Barrington, N.H.) has put in the work necessary this spring to figure in the team's plans while sophomore Otaso Osayimwese (Lincoln University, Pa.) will try to work his way into the lineup.
Freshman Matt DeCastro (East Providence, R.I.), the all-time leading goal-scorer in Rhode Island high school history, could step right in and have an immediate impact. DeCastro tallied 151 goals and 83 assists in four years at Providence Country Day School. University of Tulsa transfer Ethan Althaus (Newburgh, Ind.) will also look to contribute.
UNH is loaded with midfield players. In addition to Lawver and Hareld, the 'Cats also return senior Josh McGeachey (Cape Elizabeth, Maine), juniors Brett Wyman (Durham, N.H.) and Jamey Haughton (Hampton, N.H.), and sophomores Tyler Jackson (Amherst, N.H.), and David Barrett (Chicago, Ill.).
Hareld led UNH in scoring with 8-7-23 totals last season playing up front. Standing 6-1, Hareld ranks 16th on UNH's all-time scoring list with 30 career points. McGeachey tied for fourth on the team in scoring last season (2-3-7) and was especially dangerous on corner kicks because of his strong and accurate foot. Wyman claimed a midfield spot with his play last year and will look to improve upon last season's success.
Jackson had a solid freshman campaign. His ability serving the ball on restarts should help him put up solid numbers in 2002. Barrett appeared in 15 games last season for the Wildcats and should see more time at either the outside mid or marking back position. Haughton should also challenge for playing time.
Among the newcomers, Eric Masi (York, Maine) is most familiar with the UNH system, having played with Jackson, Glode and Haughton on the Seacoast United club soccer team. Also in the midfield mix are Jonathan Burg (New Milford, Conn.), Michael Card (Amherst, N.H.), and James Doherty (Durham, N.H.), who redshirted last season.
Junior Brendan Hankard (Glastonbury, Conn.) will look to anchor the defense along with Pauckstadt. Hankard was second on the team in scoring last year (5-2-12) and was named to the NSCAA Division I All-New England Third Team. Three of his five goals came during the final weekend sweep of Drexel and Hofstra, including the game-winning tally against the Pride that propelled the 'Cats into the America East tournament.
Junior Nicholas Mello (Rehoboth, Mass.) is a fiery player that is capable of playing either midfield or back, but will miss the first few weeks of the season recovering from surgery. Classmate Matt Chambers (Conifer, Colo.) developed into a solid all-around defender last season. Junior Ben Utter (Arlington, Mass.) will look to crack a deep lineup after appearing in two games last fall, along with newcomer Scott Welle (Branchville, N.J.)
Sophomore Mike Vignola (Hudson, N.H.) is pegged to be the 'Cats No. 1 goalkeeper heading into 2002. Vignola appeared in one game last year before a foot injury sidelined him for the season. Vignola possesses good athleticism and is capable of making the big save.
Among the remainder of the keeper corps, senior Drew Mazzeo (Rockport, Maine) is the most experienced. A transfer from Southern Maine, Mazzeo posted a 1.77 goals-against average in 2000 for the Huskies. Junior Nate Tupper (New Boston, N.H.) and freshman Matthew Pachniuk (Sandy Hook, Conn.) should push for playing time.
UNH will open the 2002 campaign with the 13th annual Nike Fall Soccer Classic on Aug. 30-Sept. 1 with Adelphi and Lafeyette the scheduled opponents.
The following weekend UNH travels to Burlington to compete in the UVM Smith Barney Classic, where it will face Southwest Missouri State and Iona. A trip to Columbia, S.C. to compete in the South Carolina Classic against South Carolina and Charleston is on tap the weekend of the Sept 13-15, followed by two more nonconference matches, at UMass (9/18) and at Providence (9/25).
UNH opens its America East slate at conference newcomer Binghamton on Sept. 29 and closes the regular season at Stony Brook Nov. 3. The America East tournament kicks off Nov. 9, with the championship one week later. The conference champ gets an automatic bid in the NCAA tournament

VA Health Care:
Ongoing and Past Work Identified Access Problems That May Delay Needed Medical Care for Veterans
GAO-14-509T: Published: Apr 9, 2014. Publicly Released: Apr 9, 2014.

What GAO Found
GAO's ongoing work examining VHA's management of outpatient specialty care consults identified examples of delays in veterans receiving outpatient specialty care, as well as limitations in the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA), Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) implementation of new consult business rules designed to standardize aspects of the clinical consult process. For example, for 4 of the 10 physical therapy consults GAO reviewed for one VAMC, between 108 and 152 days elapsed with no apparent actions taken to schedule an appointment for the veteran. For 1 of these consults, several months passed before the veteran was referred for care to a non-VA health care facility. VA medical center (VAMC) officials cited increased demand for services, and patient no-shows and cancelled appointments among the factors that lead to delays and hinder their ability to meet VHA's guideline of completing consults within 90 days of being requested. GAO's ongoing work also identified variation in how the five VAMCs reviewed have implemented key aspects of VHA's business rules, such as strategies for managing future care consults—requests for specialty care appointments that are not clinically needed for more than 90 days. Such variation may limit the usefulness of VHA's data in monitoring and overseeing consults systemwide. Furthermore, oversight of the implementation of the business rules has been limited and did not include independent verification of VAMC actions. Because this work is ongoing, we are not making recommendations on VHA's consult process at this time.
In December 2012, GAO reported that VHA's outpatient medical appointment wait times were unreliable. The reliability of reported wait time performance measures was dependent in part on the consistency with which schedulers recorded desired date—defined as the date on which the patient or health care provider wants the patient to be seen—in the scheduling system. However, VHA's scheduling policy and training documents were unclear and did not ensure consistent use of the desired date. GAO also reported that inconsistent implementation of VHA's scheduling policy may have resulted in increased wait times or delays in scheduling timely medical appointments. For example, GAO identified clinics that did not use the electronic wait list to track new patients in need of medical appointments as required by VHA policy, putting these patients at risk for not receiving timely care. VA concurred with the four recommendations included in the report and, in April 2014, reported continued actions to address them. For example, in response to GAO's recommendation for VA to take actions to improve the reliability of its medical appointment wait time measures, officials stated the department has implemented new patient wait time measures that no longer rely on desired date recorded by a scheduler. VHA officials stated that the department also is continuing to address GAO's three additional recommendations. Although VA has initiated actions to address GAO's recommendations, continued work is needed to ensure these actions are fully implemented in a timely fashion. Ultimately, VHA's ability to ensure and accurately monitor access to timely medical appointments is critical to ensuring quality health care to veterans, who may have medical conditions that worsen if access is delayed.
Why GAO Did This Study
Access to timely medical appointments is critical to ensuring that veterans obtain needed medical care. Over the past few years there have been numerous reports of VAMCs failing to provide timely care to patients, including specialty care, and in some cases, these delays have resulted in harm to patients.
In December 2012, GAO reported that improvements were needed in the reliability of VHA's reported medical appointment wait times, as well as oversight of the appointment scheduling process. Also in 2012, VHA found that systemwide consult data could not be adequately used to determine the extent to which veterans experienced delays in receiving outpatient specialty care. In May 2013, VHA launched the Consult Management Business Rules Initiative with the aim of standardizing aspects of the consults process.
This testimony highlights (1) preliminary observations from GAO's ongoing work related to VHA's management of outpatient specialty care consults, and (2) concerns GAO raised in its December 2012 report regarding VHA's outpatient medical appointment scheduling, and progress made implementing GAO's recommendations. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed documents and interviewed officials from VHA's central office. Additionally, GAO interviewed officials from five VAMCs for the consults work and four VAMCs for the scheduling work that varied based on size, complexity, and location. GAO shared the information it used to prepare this statement with VA and incorporated its comments as appropriate.

Big football games and rivalries are fun for the players and fans.
Even though they are solely focused on preparation, the atmosphere that crucial matchups present can be enjoyable for coaches also.
West Point coach Chris Chambless looks forward to Friday night's encounter with the Starkville Yellowjackets and has utmost respect for the SHS staff and what it has done this season. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Yellowjacket Stadium.
"It's going to be a good game," Chambless said. "The rivalry there is alive and it's going to be a hard fought, smash-mouthed football game. We wouldn't expect anything different. Their kids are pumped up and our kids are pumped up. We look for good old-fashioned football and that's what you ask for.
"The great thing about it is our staffs do things together. We play golf in the offseason and talk on the phone. I don't know if people realize it or not, but we pull for each other when we're not playing each other. It's going to be a fun game not only for the kids but for the coaches."
In the regular season meeting, the Green Wave bounced back from back-to-back losses to South Panola and Columbus to defeat the Jackets 33-12.
Both teams went on to have good seasons and Chambless isn't surprised that Starkville is standing in West Point's way from advancing in the Class 5A playoffs.
"We play game to game, but with both of us being in 5A, you look forward to meeting in the playoffs," Chambless said. "As long as both of us are on opposite sides or even if we are on the same side as far as division goes, somewhere down the line if we keep winning, we know we're going to have to face each other."
The Green Wave easily defeated Neshoba Central 43-14 at home last week and bring an 8-4 overall record into the game against the Jackets.
One of the bright spots for West Point has been the play of senior quarterback Dequinten Spraggins.
Spraggins has rushed and passed for over 1,000 yards this season by completing 67-of-141 pass attempts for 1,023 yards with nine touchdowns and running for 1,130 yards on 110 attempts and 14 scores.
With Spraggins being a first-year starter, Chambless expected him to have a rocky start, but that hasn't been the case.
"He's played well all year, not only with his feet and arm, but has played well mentally as far as leadership and controlling the huddle," Chambless said. "The things you expect your quarterback to do, that's what I've been impressed with."
As far as the rest of his squad, Chambless said it's young in spots and sometimes that youth comes out.
"We just strive to get better every day," Chambless said. "The kids continue to play hard, but sometimes mental mistakes are going to happen. As long as you can fight through them and overcome them, which we have been able to do, we're OK. Somewhere along the line in big ballgames, you are not going to be able to do that when you play against good football teams. We're trying to cut down on the mistakes and work on them every day."
When it comes to playing Starkville, Chambless knows errors can come back to haunt the Green Wave.
"The first time we played, they made those mental errors that we make," Chambless said. "That game was nip and tuck for a long time and could have gone either way. We just happened to get the breaks. That's what happens. It's what team gets the breaks."

Mandela, Sport and the Long Road to Freedom: A Tribute
By Professor Grant Jarvie- University of Edinburgh
Class, Race and Sport in South Africa's Political Economy was written at the time of the anti-apartheid struggle. On Thursday 5 December 2013 Nelson Mandela, the leader and former First black President of South Africa passed away at the age of 95. That day the world lost, but has not forgotten, a man who fought all his life for justice, equality and freedom and recognized more than most the impact of both the hard and soft power of sport.
