The American Civil Liberties Union and other advocacy groups aren't making many new friends in Florida.
They're asking a U.N.-affiliated human rights panel to review state policies that have slowed restoration of ex-felons' voting rights. This will rile folks who despise both the ACLU and the United Nations.
The ACLU, Project Vote and like-minded organizations are frustrated by Florida's attitude toward voting rights, and we can see why. Over the past few years, state politicians have been in a mad dash to 1) make voting more difficult and 2) make sure that fewer people vote.
In a nation where representatives are elected to serve ALL the people, voting should be open to as many people as possible. That's why schoolkids are taught the virtues of voting. That's why we have get-out-the-vote drives.
Florida has been reluctant to get out the vote, however, when it comes to ex-cons. Beginning in 1868, the state flatly banned felons from voting once they were out of prison. Historians believe the real reason was to keep freed slaves from voting.
Under reforms made in 2007, the clemency board agreed to automatically begin restoring voting rights for nonviolent felons as soon as they finished their sentences. But Florida reversed course in 2011, halting the automatic restoration of rights and imposing a five-year waiting period.
According to ACLU figures, 24,375 people in Florida had their rights restored in 2009 and 5,582 in 2010. But from April 2011 through March 2012, there were only 94.
Slowing — all but halting — restoration of ex-felons' voting rights prolongs two myths:
- After a felon has served his sentence, he should continue to be punished by having his civil rights withheld.
- Only lowlifes abuse our election laws. This is absurd. Last week, a Destin man was arrested on charges of making campaign contributions in someone else's name and causing another to make a false statement to the Federal Election Commission. The suspect is a well-to-do developer.
Regarding ex-felons, Florida ought to repudiate, not perpetuate, the mistake it made 145 years ago.

Angove Family Winemakers Clare Valley Vineyard Select Riesling 2008
Riesling from Clare Valley, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Bursting with lime and lemon the aroma of this wine heralds a great drink. Bright and crystal clear with pale green hues, the wine is crisp and fresh on the palate with great length and moreish sweet fruit. Lovely now but with the potential to age for many years.
Enjoy with grilled octopus, antipasto or tapas.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Light and zingy, with lime and green apple flavors glowing brightly on the sleek frame, finishing with pizzazz. Drink now through 2016."
Angove Family Winemakers Winery
The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., ranks among Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking.
His early experimentation with vines, winemaking and distilling, led to the establishment of a proud family business. Dr. Angove's initial plantings at the township of Tea Tree Gully in the Adelaide foothills were the forerunner of one of the largest vineyards in the southern hemisphere - the magnificent Nanya Vineyard at Renmark in South Australia's Murray Valley.
Since World War II, the company has steadily expanded its operations and structure. Their Renmark facility has grown to become a major winemaking and distilling enterprise, with storage capacity for more than15 million litres of wine and spirit. In 1947, Thomas William Carlyon Angove, grandson of the founder, took the helm as Managing Director, beginning a new era in development.
In 1983, the fourth generation of the family took control, when John Carlyon Angove succeeded his father as Managing Director of the company.
The success of the Angove's identity owes a great deal to a pioneering spirit. The same urge that drove Dr. Angove to leave his home in Cornwall and emigrate to Australia is evident in many of the developments the company has taken since. View all Angove Family Winemakers Wines
About Clare ValleyView a map of Clare Valley wineries
Known for its Rieslings, the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a character all their own. The lime and mineral flavors, paired with zesty acidity, make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pairing with seafood.
Notable FactsSince this is still Australia, let's not leave out Shiraz... Clare Valley does produce red wines and they are well made and tasty. Despite the fairly warm temperatures, the acidity in Clare Valley red wines are typically higher than wines produced further south. Good structure is a key characteristic, making Clare Valley wines ideal for pairing with food.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Three years ago, Ghanaians were stunned when it was revealed in the media that Ghanaian girls had become darlings of the Internet not as whiz kids of cyber space, but as purveyors of body parts, sexual, that is. A national manhunt led to the provincial town of Swedro where a ring masterminding the sale of naked Ghanaian females on the Internet was discovered.
Currently on sale at postcard stands in the nation's capital is a series called "COLOURS OF GHANA" portraying women purported to be Ghanaians in different stages of nakedness. A close scrutiny of the pictures however raises issues of authenticity, motive and "sexploitation". Clearly, Ghana is being presented on those cards as a destination for sex tourism.
Sex tourism, which inevitably ends in sexploitation is rampant in developing countries and in the developed countries, female economic migrants normally end in the seedier sides of the sex trade. Today Ghanaian girls stranded abroad, turn to that trade to eke out a living. This probably accounts for the reason why the "COLOURS OF GHANA" postcards have tried to sell Ghana internationally as a place to gorge on women's nakedness.
In a related story, The Accra Mail received an e-mail two days ago from a reader resident in one of our ECOWAS neighbours lamenting how Ghanaians, amongst other problems have been caught in the sexploitation vicious cycle. The short message is presented below:
"I am a Ghanaian living in Cameroon and I wish to inform you about the way Ghanaians behave here. Most of the Ghanaians who are here are uneducated and they don't know why they are here. They pass most of their time in "ashaho" houses and the little money they earn is spent there. Moreover, they are the drunkards of this country.
They do not have any union or embassy, so most of them who are caught by the immigration die inside prison. In fact, last year eight of them were buried in Douala. Four of them were HIV victims. Try to tell your people to travel with an aim. Thank you."

News Police raid offices of Prague City Hall
The police's anti-organized crime squad on Monday raided the offices of Prague City Hall, the ctk news agency reported. Prague Mayor Tomáš Hudeček confirmed the report, saying that he had no information regarding what the police search related to. The present and past mayors as well as several high placed city hall officials have been charged in connection with dubious contracts linked to Prague's Opencard, and the police have recently been checking out other tenders, in particular for those relating to the construction of Prague's tunnel Blanka.

Opposition senators call on government to take resolute stance against hate-speech and intolerance
Czech opposition senators have called on Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka's government to take a resolute stance against the hate speech and intolerance displayed at a Prague protest against Islam and immigrants held on July 1. An open letter to the government, signed by 12 senators, says it is absolutely unacceptable to openly threaten to kill those who do not oppose Islam or agree with the idea of taking in refugees. Some participants in the protest carried symbolic makeshift gallows for those who are ready to accept immigrants, calling them traitors. The senators say it is alarming that the police officers present did not take action against what is clearly a violation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Interior Minister Milan Chovanec has already slammed the police for its inaction demanding an explanation from his subordinates.
Czech Republic braces for heatwave
Meteorologists have been issuing health warnings with respect to the tropical heatwave that is expected to hit the Czech Republic over the weekend. Temperatures on Sunday and Monday should hit 37 degrees Celsius with the worst conditions expected in the big cities. People have been advised to stay out of the sun and limit physically straining activities as much as possible. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Sunday is a public holiday dedicated to the missionaries Cyril and Methodius who brought Christianity to the Czech lands and hundreds of believers are expected to undertake the annual pilgrimage to Velehrad.
MERS ruled out in Czech patient
Tests have ruled out the potentially fatal MERS virus in a Czech man hospitalized in Prague, the country's chief hygiene officer Vladimir Valenta reported on Friday. The patient, a man from Ostrava who had recently travelled to South Korea, remains at Prague's Na Bulovce hospital for further tests and treatment. The 49 people who were placed in quarantine in connection with the case will be released immediately. It was the country's second MERS scare and Mr. Valenta said that the measures undertaken showed that the authorities were well prepared to deal with a potential crisis.
Czech contingent back from Khaan Quest in Mongolia

According to the Czech ambassador to Mongolia Ivana Grollova the unit received high praise for and has been asked to run similar training courses next year.

Strahov tunnel to close to traffic on Saturday
Prague's Strahov tunnel, which links the Prague 5 and 6 districts, is due to close to traffic at 8 am on Saturday for a ten day period. During that time road workers will link the tunnel to the newly built Blanka tunnel complex which is due to open to traffic in mid-September. Drivers have been warned to expect heavier traffic and complications with detours during the closure. The tunnel is due to reopen on July 14th at 5 am.
Czech Republic and Germany to broaden cooperation in nine spheres
German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier and his Czech counterpart Lubomír Zaorálek on Friday signed a declaration on Czech-German strategic dialogue in Berlin. The agreement entails broadening cooperation in nine spheres, among them foreign policy, research, education, energy, culture and the fight against drug abuse. In the area of foreign policy the Czech Republic said it wanted to acquire know-how from Germany on how to combine economic diplomacy and defence of human rights.

In the men's singles, Tomáš Berdych overwhelmed French Nicolas Mahut 6:1, 6:4, 6:4 in just over an hour and a half.

Court in London rules in favour of extraditing runaway
Czech businessman A court in London has ruled in favour of extraditing the runaway Czech businessman František Savov, who has sought refuge in the British capital. Savov, who has been sought since March in connection with suspected tax evasion totalling billions of crowns, is the owner of a series of the Mladá Fronta publishing house and a series of publications including the business paper E15 and magazine Euro. Savov has denied the accusations and said he would appeal against the court's decision. He said he didn't want to return to the Czech Republic because he wouldn't receive a fair trial.

Need to find someone to deal with the worst apps in the App Store? Hire the guy who wrote them.
We can only assume this was Apple's thinking when they hired developer Phillip Shoemaker to be the head of the App Store. Most people would agree that it makes sense to hire a developer who has experience in creating and submitting apps. However, a report on 9to5mac.com suggests that it's the type of apps that this developer has created which may have a lot of people pinching their noses.
One of his unique apps is called Animal Farts, an app that unfortunately delivers on its title. Animal Farts gives you the ability to select different animals and then pick which bodily function sound you want the animal to make. There's not much more to say about that.
The next app worth mentioning is iWiz. This app gives those who tire of fake animal fart sounds the chance to have fake pee. The developer promises that you can impress your friends with your handling of its accelerometer-based "gameplay." At $0.99 each, these apps have sold amazingly well. By that, we mean more than one copy.
Luckily, he has made a few apps that don't stink. In fact, he has five apps with no bodily functions at all. You can look at the complete collection on his website, Graynoodle.com.
Does Apple's hiring of the mastermind behind these apps stink or is it what the App Store needs to run smoothly? Let us know in the comments box below.

Day after city police commissioner Satish Mathur said — during an Idea Exchange with The Indian Express and Loksatta staffers — that he was in favour of making use of helmets mandatory for two-wheeler riders, deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Vishwas Pandhare on Saturday directed the traffic personnel to take action against those who are found riding two-wheelers without wearing helmets.
DCP Pandhare said a crackdown had been already going on. "But now it will be more strictly implemented in view of rising incidents of road mishaps in which those riding two-wheelers without wearing helmets died after suffering head injuries." He said that in a recent case, a young two-wheeler rider died in a road mishap in Somwar Peth area on Friday evening and the victim had not worn a helmet.
"The traffic control branch personnel have been asked to check whether the two-wheeler riders held for violation of traffic rules are wearing helmets. If such offenders are found without helmets, an additional fine of Rs 100 would be imposed on them for violation of norms," he said.
"We will start taking action from Sunday in the jurisdiction of Pune city police. We have taken similar action in the past as well. In 2013, we booked 39,689 traffic offenders for not wearing helmets while riding two-wheelers. A fine of 41.6 lakh was collected from them. In 2014, so far we have caught 622 persons and collected fine of Rs 98,600," he said.
Pandhare said using helmets while driving two-wheelers was already made mandatory for cops attached to the Pune city police. Replying to a question during an Idea Exchange at The Indian Express about the implementation of the Supreme Court directives on making helmets compulsory while riding two-wheelers, Mathur had said, "Helmets serves as a protection. When I was a joint commissioner (traffic) in Mumbai, I was involved in the implementation. In those days (2003-07), people in Mumbai used to give Pune's example and say they did not wants helmets to be compulsory. But Mumbai has adopted it. Studies have shown that helmets protect you. I appeal to Pune citizens they start using helmets whether there is a law or not." Mathur had said he would first start an awareness drive before aiming at strict implementation on day one.
Wearing helmet cuts injury risk by 70%, likelihood of death by 40%: WHO
Observing that in many low-income and middle-income countries, users of two-wheelers — particularly motorcyclists — make up more than 50 per cent of those injured or killed on the roads, the World Health Organisation (WHO) had suggested wearing a helmet as the single most effective way of reducing head injuries and fatalities resulting from motorcycle and bicycle crashes.
"Wearing a helmet has been shown to decrease the risk and severity of injuries among motorcyclists by about 70 per cent, the likelihood of death by almost 40 …continued »

The Political Consequences of Anti-Americanism
Series: Routledge/Warwick Studies in Globalisation
Anti-Americanism as a concept is confused, often used in a contradictory fashion and invariably driven by emotion rather than intellect. Nevertheless, it casts a long policy shadow with adverse consequences (both real and potential) for actors including those who may not support the concept. This...

Eli Lake, national security correspondent for the Washington Times, has written a terribly awful story on concerns about the safety of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Lake's overzealousness in pursuit of a sexy Pakistani angle in the wake of the Osama bin Laden (OBL) raid comes to trump his journalistic professionalism.
There are five sources in the piece.
Three are unnamed U.S. officials who simply comment on the OBL raid. They do not make any statements regarding Pakistan's nuclear program, though this is the article's focus and they would be the ones who'd have the best access to the latest intelligence that would raise fresh concerns over the safety of Pakistan's nukes. Their purpose in the piece is to give it some meat with their sheer presence, though they do not offer Lake any information on Pakistan's nuclear program. Their presence, in a way, allows Lake to write this in his lede:
…while U.S. officials and analysts raise concerns about the safety of Pakistan's nuclear materials.
U.S. officials never actually raise those concerns with Lake. But Lake cites concerns about Pakistan's nukes expressed in 2009 State Department cables revealed by WikiLeaks. So no U.S. officials ever say anything to him about Pakistan's nukes after the OBL raid.
So who actually makes comments to Lake about Pakistan's nuclear program? The remaining two sources. And they prove to be quite weak.
The two remaining sources are Olli Heinonen, a former IAEA official, and Steve Rothman, a congressman who serves on the House Appropriations Committee.
In light of allegations that the ISI or elements within it helped OBL hide, Heinonen expresses his concern that similar personnel within Pakistan's security apparatus could assist al-Qaeda or other terrorist organizations in gaining access to "sensitive nuclear materials." It is a legitimate concern, but it is laden with assumptions (e.g. that a person who would help OBL hide would also give him access to nuclear material and have the ability to do so). And it is not based on any new information.
Rothman's quote is really the heart of the piece. And it's completely wrong.
Lake writes:
Mr. Rothman said al Qaeda operatives in 2009 "came within 60 kilometers of what is believed to have been Pakistan's nuclear arsenal," though he could not elaborate on the incident.
Rothman — a consumer, not a producer, of intelligence analysis — incorrectly relates information he heard in a briefing two years ago. Blame it on fuzzy memory. And though Rothman "could not elaborate on the incident," Lake certainly could have done his own research. Unfortunately, some journalists become overly dependent on governmental sources (especially unnamed ones).
The enroachment of the TTP may have "resulted … in new safeguards and new measures taken by the United States and Pakistan and others to minimize any possibility of anyone acquiring the Pakistani nuclear weapons or material." But there is no evidence that these changes were made on the basis of specific threats to the nuclear program, rather than fears based on an overall deterioration of security.
Lake's packaging of the article is very clever. But once one takes it apart, it becomes clear there's nothing inside.

The nation of Pakistan begins its greatest test in decades as Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani declared war against takfiri terrorists in the Malakand Division in a national address this evening.
Gilani called on Pakistanis to unite behind their army and government in a war to "completely eliminate" militants who have reaped havoc and death in the once tranquil greater Swat area.
The prime minister's speech is part of an aggressive public relations campaign by the Pakistani state to rally public support for a full-fledged war against the Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan in Swat. The campaign centers around using Islam to de-legitimize the militants.
Around a week ago, a news anchor close to the military-intelligence establishment read the following Qur'anic verses — unprecedented on his program — at the end of a segment on Swat:
And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only peacemakers."
Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.
(Surah al-Baqarah, Ayat 11 & 12)
Immediately, I realized that the verses were probably offered to him by elements of the state security apparatus and signaled the start of a campaign to take away the Islamic legitimacy of the takfiri terrorists.
Today, the Pakistani government began airing public service announcements on private and government television channels, broadcasting the same Qur'anic verses. As the bullets and mortars fly and hundreds of thousands flee their homes, the war of ideas begins.
Islamic scholars from all backgrounds — Ahl-e Hadis, Barelvi, Deobandi, Jafri (Twelver Shia), modernist, and Islamist — including Muhammad Rafi Usmani, Javed Ahmed Ghamidi, and Khalid Masud, have come on television to speak out against the violent methodology of the militants and their campaign of terror against Pakistanis.
Generations ago, four young men told the Muslims of India: "The issue is now or never. Either we live [and establish Pakistan] or perish for ever."
Pakistan faces the same choice today: to live or perish forever.
There is no question as to how the takfiri terrorists will respond. The will begin hitting Pakistani cities tomorrow. The battlefield will not be contained to the Malakand Division.
But as for the Pakistani people, we will learn of their decision — and fate — soon.

The Taliban whipping video has been broadcast on Pakistani television channels, generating a great deal of outrage inside Pakistan. Both the prime minister and president have condemned the act.
Surprisingly, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry took suo moto notice on the case. He has summoned several leading bureaucrats to present themselves before an eight-member bench on April 6th.
As I wrote last month at World Politics Review:
"[The rule of law movement] provides an opportunity to strengthen the Pakistani state, improve the judicial system's responsiveness, and resist creeping Talibanization….
"…Islamabad must now curb the spread of social Talibanization elsewhere by demonstrating that civil justice can also be speedy and effective. It should leverage the popular, national demand for the rule of civil law by bolstering the reform of the judicial system and ensuring the judiciary's independence."
Kudos to Samar Minallah, sister of lawyers movement leader Athar Minallah, for bringing this crime to light.

Here's an excerpt from my latest external piece, published at World Politics Review:
A movement led by black-coated lawyers achieved a defining victory for the rule of civil law in Pakistan on Monday with the restoration of illegally deposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. This highly popular movement provides an opportunity to strengthen the Pakistani state, improve the judicial system's responsiveness, and resist creeping Talibanization.

Pakistan has come to a point in which political half measures are no longer an option.
Its economy is in tatters, amidst a global recession that will be multi-year. The textile industry contracted by 33% this past year. Skilled and unskilled laborers will be returning from Dubai with little possibility of local employment. This year's growth rate will be below 3%, which, for an impoverished country like Pakistan is effectively negative growth.
The militant threat is rising. Meanwhile, the state security apparatus — in a fast replay of Musharraf's downward spiral in 2007 — is presently oriented around suppressing domestic dissent, at the cost of combating takfiri terrorists.
Political reform is non-existent. State failures are mounting on top of those that have accumulated over the decades. Pockets of the country in which the primary organs of the state — the elected leadership, bureaucracy, police, and judiciary — are non-functional have proven to be ripe for the rise of militant vigilantism. These pockets exist not only in the Pashtun belt bordering Afghanistan, but also in no-go areas in major cities and a good number of rural districts throughout the country.
State resources must be channeled to combat these threats and seize opportunities to put Pakistan on the right course.
For that to occur, Pakistan needs detente between its two largest parties, the Peoples Party (PPP) and Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). They must serve as anchors of stability, not agents of chaos.
There is, however, no trust between the the Peoples Party (PPP) and Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N). The sole reason for the breakdown in trust is the fact that President Asif Ali Zardari made three separate agreements with former Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, only to renege on his commitments after the expiry of each deadline.
The absence of trust and the imminence of a direct confrontation between the Long Marchers and an increasingly repressive state apparatus necessitates immediate, decisive change on the part of the PPP-led federal government to restore political stability.
So how does Pakistan get there?
The steps above ensure the political participation of all the major players in the present political setup; they all get a piece of the pie. Pakistan is then able to focus on pressing issues such as economic and political reform, counterterrorism, and poverty alleviation.
Feb 27, 2009 2
Weeks ago, I wrote that the extent of the U.S. presence inside Pakistan is often underestimated. Days after that, Sen. Diane Feinstein [re-]revealed that the Predator and Reaper drones are launched from a base inside Pakistan.
Here comes another bombshell from Richard Sale:
"…under the terms of secret [U.S.-Pakistan] agreements, U.S. personnel have been stationed in Pakistan whose sole function is to guarantee and secure the safety of Islamabad's nuclear arsenal and keep it out of the hands of terrorists, according to several serving and former U.S. officials.
Some of the American technicians have had direct access to the nuclear weapons themselves, these sources said….
The United States then used Special Forces 'snatch teams' to kidnap Pakistani scientists who were peddling Pakistan's nuclear technology or knowledge of it to undesirables. For example, a group of such scientists abruptly disappeared while traveling in Burma, these sources said.
Under U.S. pressure, within two days of the [9/11] attacks, Pakistan's military began to secretly relocate critical nuclear weapons components to six new secret locations, U.S. sources said…"
Playing dumb, I ask, "Why are all these revelations coming out now?"

Almost a year ago, I wrote an op-ed for Lahore's Daily Times discussing an intensifying phenomenon I described as the "push on Pakistan." [The paper's editors took out the word "on" and made a 'liberal' (pun intended) edit or two.]
But, in light of the heightened pressure on Pakistan from Washington and the increased role of the Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict in the U.S. presidential campaign, here's a link to that piece. Some points I made were particularly prescient. Others not so — but we can forget about those:-)

Malted Milk Powder gives this Cherry Walnut Bread a creamy taste and an extra punch of flavor.
These hand-held pies a bursting with juicy cherry goodness and are the perfect make-ahead dessert.
You'll find a couple unexpected ingredients in this Tart Cherry Chili. Including carrots and the cherries themselves, who would think their sweet and tart nature would be perfect for a chili?
Dark chocolate and tart cherries bring a wonderful flavor combination to this lighter frozen dessert in a take on the traditional German Black Forest Cake.
Bran muffins can be somewhat of a tricky subject. You think bran muffin and you think healthy, maybe not just because of the bran, but because they taste healthy – low flavor, dense, and dry. I'm quite determined that this doesn't have to be the case. And these …
Happy Halloween! I saw these mice first on Elle's New England Kitchen and thought the idea was ingenious. A mouse-shaped truffle with a "bloody' cherry center: who doesn't like a truffle, and cherries and chocolate are the perfect pairing.

'Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule' discusses 'Horse' in new clip
Dr. Steve Brule shifts his focus from homes to animals in the latest episode of "Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule," "Horse." This episode is one that John C. Reilly is a particular fan of, as he says that it reminds him of classic comedy sketches.
"I'm pretty fond of 'Horse,'" Reilly tells Zap2it. "I've shown the 'Horse' episode to kids, and to them it's like the Three Stooges -- pure comedy. You don't have to have some kind of esoteric, eccentric taste to enjoy that episode. It's just straight-up comedy, which makes me happy."
The logline of "Horse" is simple: "Dr. Steve Brule learns what a Horse is." Apparently part of that discovery involves eating some canned horse meat as well. De-licious!
"I've never had horse meat in a can myself, but Steve Brule, it's a staple in his cabinet. Just like a low cost meat," Reilly shares. "It has a gamey taste; a gamey kind of earth taste, and slightly tangy, especially the creamed horse."
"Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule" airs Thursdays at 12:30 a.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim.

FRIDAY, October 21, 2005
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Frank D. Whitney announced the sentencing of Alfredo Granados-Garcia, a Mexican attorney, for conspiracy drug and international money laundering charges in U. S. District Court before the Honorable Terrence W. Boyle on Tuesday, October 18, 2005. Granados-Garcia received a sentence of 15 years on each count, to run concurrently, 5 years supervised release, and deportation. Granados-Garcia, was a leader in a major Mexican cocaine organization that was the focus of a joint two-year investigation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Marshals Service, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the Goldsboro Police Department. The investigation, code named OPERATION GOLDRUSH, has resulted in the dismantling of this violent drug organization's North Carolina distribution cell based in Wayne County, and has led to significant federal and state convictions of its members. OPERATION GOLDRUSH was recently recognized as an OCDETF Case of the Year for the Southeast Region of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. The Southeast region includes all federal drug task forces from North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana.
OPERATION GOLDRUSH began as a local narcotics investigation initiated in July 2003 by the Wayne County and Goldsboro Drug Task Force. It subsequently developed into a multi-jurisdictional investigation coordinated by the Drug Enforcement Administration along with Bureau of Immigration and Custom Enforcement offices throughout the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Mexico. The two year investigation revealed that the organization was connected to the Gulf Cartel headed by Osiel Cardenas and had distribution cells in North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas.
As a result of this OCDETF investigation, 28 individuals have been prosecuted on federal and state drug and international money laundering charges, including its leaders Arnulfo Ramirez and Alfredo Grandos-Garcia. Ramirez was previously sentenced to 16 years and 6 months imprisonment, and five years supervised release for conspiracy drug and international money laundering charges. Significant drug and money seizures have been achieved during this investigation to include: 58 kilograms of cocaine, 1,038 pounds of marijuana, 1.6 million dollars in U.S. currency, 8 firearms including a machinegun, 11 vehicles, and 3 residences valued at over $450,000.
OPERATION GOLDRUSH utilized a complete team approach that included fourteen federal state and local law enforcement agencies
from two regions, four districts and three states. As a result of these efforts, significant obstacles of penetrating a primarily Hispanic organization with close family ties was overcome with the successful use of innovative as well as traditional law enforcement techniques; including wiretaps authorized under federal law. OPERATION GOLDRUSH has led to the dismantling of a major drug trafficking organization from the distribution level through the command and control elements of the organization. Further, it directly impacted the availability of drugs in the target communities that this organization serviced in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Assistant United States Attorney Ethan A. Ontjes prosecuted these cases for the United States.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/ncewithin 48 hours of release.

SearchAll Refuges
Early in the 1900s, Anaho Island was recognized for its
importance as breeding habitat for colonial nesting birds, and was established
as a National Wildlife Refuge.
Anaho Island NWR supports one
of the two largest American white pelican nesting colonies in the western
United States. On average 8,500 adult American white pelicans return to Anaho
Island each spring from their wintering areas in Southern California and Baja,
Mexico. These fish-eating birds rely on the spring spawning runs of Pyramid
Lake fish, such as Cui-ui (kwee - wee) and Lahontan cut-throat trout, as well as the
numerous shallow lakes and wetlands within 70 miles of the island, primarily
the Lahontan Valley and Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge to the East. The adult
pelicans often fly many miles from Anaho Island NWR and the Pyramid Lake area
to forage for food, but return daily to feed their chicks. Once the
chicks are able to fly, they begin to follow the adult birds to feeding areas,
and by late August the adult birds no longer return to Anaho Island NWR. By the end
of summer, about 2,900 young pelicans fledge and begin their winter migration
to points south with the parent birds.
In addition to the pelicans,
the most common colonial (birds in groups or colonies) nesting birds at Anaho
Island NWR are Double-crested Cormorants, California gulls, and Great Blue
herons. These birds spend the winter in other areas and then return to Anaho
Island NWR each spring to nest and raise their young.
The island also provides year
round habitat for other birds, lizards, snakes, rodents and insects. The
vegetation on the island is a unique combination of native plants and
non-native invasive plants, lichens, and moss, which varies from the waterline
to rocky peaks as well as the west, east, and south sides of the island.
Anaho Island National Wildlife
Refuge is not open to the public in order to protect this sensitive nesting

high performance insulation
|Windows & Daylighting | Building Technologies | Environmental Energy Technologies Division | Berkeley Lab
|The LBNL Windows and Daylighting Group has extensive experience with highly insulating windows that use gas fills and multiple layers of glazing materials. An outgrowth of this research is the development of an opaque thermal insulation technology known as Gas-Filled Panels. Gas-Filled Panels, or GFPs, use thin polymer films and low-conductivity gas to create a device with extraordinary thermal insulation properties. GFPs are essentially hermetic plastic bags that can take on a variety of shapes and sizes. Inside the outer barrier is a cellular structure called a baffle. Argon gas filling provides an effective thermal resistance level of R-7 per inch, krypton gas provides R-12.5 per inch, and xenon gas provides R-20 per inch.

Advertising feature. There is a huge amount of information available on the internet that is growing all of the time and you can add to it for free.

So the tools that are available on the internet allow get your work seen by a worldwide audience as well as allowing you to access information from all over the world.
The Internet has helped to make the task of publishing much easier, as you can now digitally publish your own content online for free and you can soon build up a global readership. The days of having to spend lots of time and money publishing your material on paper are long gone and online publishing is also good for the environment as all content is digital and therefore no paper is wasted.

Real Estate
I Have Over 30 Years Experience as a New York Real Estate Lawyer
Whether you are a first-time home buyer or more experienced in the real estate world, I provide guidance as to all aspects of a real estate transaction or litigation.
Closings- I have represented clients in closings involving cooperatives, condominiums, and single and multi-family homes. I carefully review all aspects of the transaction including the contract, the mortgage loan or refinancing provisions and the closing cost amounts as well as the deed and title search I work together with my clients to go from contract to closing as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Litigation- As a real estate attorney, I have represented clients in Court proceedings on matters such as the validity of a deed where one party may have improperly induced another to sign deed documents. Such proceedings may result in a constructive trust. I have also helped clients in litigation regarding, encroachments and other title issues such as partition. I appreciate the concerns clients experience in Court proceedings and I try to advance their interests and avoid undue delay. Landlord – Tenant - I have counseled clients in preparing and reviewing residential and commercial and store leases and have protected their interests in landlord-tenant eviction issues such as primary residence, non-payment proceedings, hold-over proceedings and other lease disputes which often involve local rent stabilization or rent control issues.
Given the rapidly changing real estate landscape in New York, having a qualified and experienced real estate contract and litigation lawyer is crucial.
I represent both residential and commercial clients and provide personal attention to all matters.
Do you need a lawyer or have questions? Contact me by phone (212) 355-2575 or by email firstname.lastname@example.com.
