From Shinya Aoki press conference:
I would like to stab him (Melendez) . For US, maybe I as ex-police officer should say I shoot him. This is not half-hearted determination.
I am fully aware the difference in rules. Hey I am monster MMA geek. I watch every fights. Cage/Ring does not matter to system of my skills
I would take off my long spats. Come to America and enjoy my naked legs.
CBS broadcast does not matter to me. Actually I do not want to become famous, because people somehow bash me for whatever I do.
Don't know what he really trying to say by "stab", but this is exact the same phrase he used before the Hirota bout at Dynamite!. If you recall what happened to Hirota, it is pretty scary statement, particulary in this inter-promotion setting.
Just in case you haven't heard about this, Sasahara announced in this conference that Nick Diaz will be fighting for DREAM in May.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 12/28/12
Game time: 7 p.m. ETTV: FOX Sports Florida Glen Davis suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out indefinitely when the Orlando Magic beat the Washington Wizards just over a week ago. Orlando hasn't won since. The Magic look to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat while sending the host Wizards to a ninth straight loss Friday night. Davis, averaging 16.0 points and 7.9 rebounds, was diagnosed with a sprained left shoulder after he was fouled by Emeka Okafor with 47.8 seconds remaining in Orlando's 93-90 win over Washington on Dec. 19. The Magic (12-16) have lost three games by a combined 10 points while Davis nurses the injury, falling 97-94 to New Orleans on Wednesday despite getting a season-best 28 points from Jameer Nelson and hitting a season high-tying 11 3-pointers. "We miss him a lot - both ends of the court," said center Nikola Vucevic, who added 19 points and nine rebounds. "People think it's probably just on the offensive end because he's one of our leading scorers, bu...

America's Next Top Model
Top 5 Tyra-isms, Cycle 15, Episode 8
Hanging on Ms. Banks' every word? Here are three Tyra-isms from Episode 15.8.
3. (To Chelsey): Your ponytail kind of went left to right behind you, and I was like, 'Oh, she's about to do something!'
Given the proximity of hair to the brain, it's usually quicker to react than the legs.
2. (To all of the models): And when I call you back, I will announce which one of you is going home. H2T, yeah.
As young models ponder their fate, there's one final plug for make-believe water.
1. (To Esther): Fashion loves versatility, but what fashion doesn't like is "blah."
Fashion probably gets irritated when people make assumptions about what it likes and doesn't like. (What are we saying?)

Anne-Lise Touya, Frederique Jossinet, Franck Dumoulin... Theses athletes were supposed to mount the podium in Beijing. While they at one time did win an Olympic medal or world title, they completely failed today, the first day of the Olympic Games. The goal of the French delegation, to win at least 35 medals, seems quite distant.
There were three French women competing in the women's individual sabre, and the all three failed it the first round: the double world champion (in 2001 and 2005) Anne-Lise Touya, Léonore Perrus et Carole Vergne.
French judoka Frederique Jossinet was beaten by a Japanese opponent in the first round in less than 30 seconds. However, the silver medallist in Athens was a serious gold medal hope in her category under 48 kg.
Gold medallist at the 2000 Sydney Games, Franck Dumoulin, a medal favourite in Beijing, finished a disappointing 25th in men's 10-metre air pistol. Walter Lapeyre is the first Frenchman with a nice seventh-position ranking.
These are Anne-Lise's last Olympic Games while they are Carole's first. Anyway, defeat is the same for everyone. Whether you are under pressure or not, when you lose, you are overwhelmed by distress. And that's really hard. Moreover, they did not attend to the opening ceremony yesterday in order to remain focused.
They will need a few days to go further. But they will be eager to compete for the team event on August 14th [The French Sabre squad is the world champion team]. I hope we will win some medals tomorrow [with the men's individual sword] to create an osmosis in the French team and to drag everyone into victory.

VirSyn Poseidon
It's difficult to catch a breath of fresh air in the software synth market - it's awash with sound-alike analogue clones and sample-based ROMplers.
The German developer VirSyn has always been a beacon of originality, though, offering jaded musicians more than just retro rehashes. VirSyn's new release goes by the name of Poseidon and, like several of the company's previous synths, is designed for those who are seeking something a little bit different.
Like all VirSyn products, Poseidon is cross-platform and will operate as a standalone synthesizer or a plug-in (VST, RTAS and AU formats are supported). The instrument draws some of its power from Cube, VirSyn's additive monster, though it's not simply a product of trickle-down technology.
Poseidon's oscillator is clearly its beating heart and is based on VirSyn's existing additive technology. Things start with the spectral analysis of a sampled sound, and this is then broken into partials. There can be as few as one partial, or as many as 512. The more partials you use, the more accurately the sound is reproduced.
You're given a significant amount of control over how the sound is played back over time. You can determine the playback's start position in the spectrum, the length of the sound to be played and how fast the spectrum will be scanned during playback.
You can even apply a dedicated ADSR envelope to the scanning position - it's heady stuff. Owners of Roland's V-Synth might be finding some of this very familiar, and Poseidon can indeed sound similar to that particular instrument. However, the similarities extend no further than the way in which samples are handled.
As with VirSyn's Cube, Poseidon enables you to resynthesize your own samples. This opens up new possibilities, and VirSyn have included a number of features that let you fully explore them. You can analyse both WAV and AIFF files, and you can indicate whether the source sound should be seen as a Complex or Harmonic source.
The former is fine in most cases, though the latter can work better when you're dealing with clean, musical tones. Naturally, you can also assign a root key, though Poseidon will make an effort to determine the pitch itself.
A brand new filter
Intriguingly, Poseidon includes a brand new filter design. The F-Domain filter is unusual in that it doesn't specifically emulate the classic analogue-style filters you'll find on other instruments.
There are high- and low-pass modes, each with resonance, and these are accompanied by a pair of comb filters and the F-Domain Antiresonance filter. Unlike the other filters, the latter is completely different to anything we've seen before, combining a traditional resonant peak with a resonance notch near the cutoff frequency.
The sound isn't a far cry from that of the low-pass filter, but it is a genuine and useful alternative. All of the filter modes offer a fully adjustable response slope. That means you're not limited to a choice of, say, 12dB and 24dB. Instead, you can dial up any slope between 0.00 and 72.00dB. Cool.
Again, the filter has a standard ADSR envelope generator attached, and the same is true of the amp stage. These modulation sources are joined by a pair of LFOs; unusually, these are adjusted using solely numerical values rather than knobs.
You don't have to enter them manually, mind you - they can be dragged over with the mouse. That said, we have to confess that we felt more comfortable assigning them to the knobs on our MIDI controller - this can be done using VirSyn's effective MIDI Learn ability.
We should also mention Poseidon's Spatializer. This can pan the individual partials around the stereo sound field with up to - wait for it - 512 LFOs, allowing you to add motion to patches.
Poseidon also sports a selection of expected effects processors (the usual distortion, delay, reverb and choruses). Other familiar faces include VirSyn's Slot Machine for generating random patches, and a patch browser.
We like Poseidon. It takes guts to do something different, and we have to applaud VirSyn for taking us down a less-travelled synthesis path.
We'll admit we weren't knocked out by the included presets; they're not bad (there are some slick digital pads and a punchy drum or two) but they don't fully demonstrate the instrument's most interesting possibilities.
Fortunately, though, it's a cinch to whip up your own sounds, and Poseidon's resynthesis tools yield encouraging and inspiring results. The synth also benefits from a simple and uncluttered interface that makes it easy to learn and intuitive to use.
So, although it isn't for everybody (if you just need a squelchy bassline, you'll be better off with something else), Poseidon goes down as another solid VirSyn release.
MusicRadar Rating
Inspirational resynthesis engine. Newfangled filter designs. Spatializer is way cool!
A couple of odd GUI choices. Factory patches could be better.
It might be based on complex technology, but Poseidon is accessible and fun. If you've had your fill of bread and butter synths, take a look.
Includes a brand new filter design (The F Domain Filter)

4 Ways to Create a Royal Home
Use these easy tips to transform your humble place into a regal palace.
Think Big
This article originally appeared on LearnVest.com.
I loved The King's Speech and all, but I still have one lingering question: "How do I get my place to look like that?" Maybe you saw those palatial estates and are asking yourself the same thing.
Thankfully, Jamie Lengyel, one of the film's location managers, shared some of his secrets for casting rooms in Buckingham Palace (the British royal family's residence), Balmoral Castle (their Scottish country house), and other locations. The Location Managers' Guild also posted some photos, which are a great study for anyone who loves grand rooms.
Granted, you're probably not going to build a grand staircase. But if you think in larger terms, you can achieve a more formal living space on a less-than-royal budget.
Try some of these tips with a modern twist to bring the opulence of a palace to your own home.

What is a derecho? Massive, severe thunderstorms explained
June 12, 2013 - 01:09 pm
Decrease Increase Text size
Many forecasters have been using the term derecho to describe what could impact the D.C. area in the next 36 hours. The violent storms are extremely hard to predict in the longer term.
A destructive derecho did hit the area on June 29, 2012, and with severe storms on the horizon this week, it's best to be prepared for any sort of weather that comes, derecho or not.
ABC7 meteorologist Brian van de Graaff explains exactly what comprises a derecho.

Pasadena philanthropist continues 'Power of Pink' breast-cancer campaign
It's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a Pasadena philanthropist is continuing his company's annual fundraising campaign.
Through Oct. 31, Brighton Collectibles — owned by Pasadena resident Jerry Kohl — will donate $5 to breast-cancer foundations for each piece sold from its limited edition "Power of Pink" line.
It's always nice to get something when you give. And this way, you can wear your heart on your sleeve — or your wrist, as it were, with this little number to the right.
Some of the 142 Brighton stores are matching the donation; Ask ahead of time if you're thinking about purchasing, and that will boost the donation amount to $10.
The company has raised more than $3 million for breast-cancer research since its first "Power of Pink" campaign in 2003. Funds have gone to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, City of Hope Cancer Center, Concern Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
- Brighton Collectibles, 340 E Colorado Blvd. #110, Pasadena (626) 577-3849

Pasadena teacher's day made better by $1,000 in school supplies — and a visit from 'Desperate Housewives' actor James Denton
Karen Goss is not a desperate housewife. She's a computer teacher at Hamilton Elementary School in Pasadena. It's a career that, for all its rewards, comes with its fair share of desperate moments.
Teachers spend an average of $1,200 of their own money each year for classroom supplies, according to the National Education Association.
But, this week, Goss got lucky. She was one of more than 1,100 teachers across the country to each receive $1,000 in school supplies as part of "A Day Made Better," a campaign by Adopt-A-Classroom and OfficeMax to draw attention to teacher-funded classrooms.
The non-profit Adopt-A-Classroom helped identify needy schools, and principals at each school nominated an exemplary teacher to receive the donation of supplies.
Oh, did we mention James Denton was there? Just sort of sweetens the deal, doesn't it?
Check out Adopt-A-Classroom to see what Pasadena-area school programs are still in dire need of resources. You can search by city, by district, and for both public and private schools.

Now the Big 12's regular-season co-champs will get their chance to settle it all on the court. Rodney McGruder scored 25 points as No. 11 Kansas State beat a sluggish No. 14 Oklahoma State 68-57 in the Big 12 tournament semifinals Friday night, setting up a title showdown on Saturday with No. 7 Kansas, which swept the Wildcats twice and shared the regular season with them. ''We're conference co-champs and now you get a chance to play the team that tied you in the big game for the tournament,'' said Kansas State coach Bruce Weber. ''I'm just really proud of our guys.'' McGruder, who had 24 points the night before against Texas, scored Kansas State's first nine points of the second half as the Wildcats (27-6) maintained a comfortable lead throughout the final 20 minutes while holding the Cowboys (24-8) to 30.5 shooting. A career leader in 10 of 14 categories for the second-seeded Wildcats McGruder helped Kansas State avenge a loss to Oklahoma State in the regular season finale tha...

So So So Sad
By awoodall
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 at 9:29 pm in Uncategorized.
OH man. Tonight was just too much. I always walk away from a crime scene (the Night Owl also includes covering night crime) with a feeling of sadness and regret. For the first time tonight, however, I feel the way many people at the crime scenes describe: like violence is out of control. A young man was gunned down about 5:30 at a community park, the Linden Street Community Plaza on 43rd and Linden, right behind a charter school and the Destiny Arts Center. When I looked up and saw the Destiny Arts banner it really hit me in the gut. My children spent several years at Destiny's Teddy Bear Club, when the center was over on San Pablo. That's why I didn't expect to see the banner. The center is all about helping our kids rise above the violence that seeps into their lives. But there were more than 50 children in the building when the five shots rang out.
The victim evidently was shot outside the park then went inside, near the playground, where he was found.
The director of the school and artistic director of Destiny really stepped up in a way that I think showed their true colors. They're the ones who called 9-1-1. The artistic director made sure the kids were safe, including the victim's niece who was attending a Destiny program, then talked with them and worked through the incident (they'll continue to do so). The school's director went out with some Destiny staff and stayed with the victim for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived. That says a lot to me about their spirit and that they "walk the walk," for lack of better words.
Just a few hours earlier and less than mile away from the Linden Park shooting, a man was gunned down around the 3800 block of MLK, right down the street from Marcus Books and a house with Food not Bombs and Stop the War slogans in the window. I heard that a witness called police from Marcus Books. What an irony. Two shootings near places that are trying to make the city a better place. Even though it wasn't my family or neighborhood, for the first time the violence feels barbaric. And I feel angry and sort of hopeless. It's the first time I have an inkling of what people slammed by shootings feel when they say they feel like the violence is out of control. I have been in places recovering from war, so I know Oakland is not a war zone. But after tonight I understand a little more how people can say that it feels like a war zone. It's feeling like nowhere is safe, that violence can hit anywhere at anytime. That their lives are unsafe. How can you not when a shooting happens at a park (which police said was usually quiet) right behind an organization so dedicated to helping people rise above the violence and create peaceful lives for themselves and their communities? That's just f'ed up. I love O-Town, think it's a brilliant city, wouldn't be anywhere else. But tonight was so so so sad, folks.

16th May 2011
In the Men's Sabre Madrid World Cup, 20 year old Truro based James Honeybone finished an impressive 41st, following on from Sophie Williams' success (also from Truro) last weekend. Honeybone was the top ranking Brit in the competition, with compatriots Curtis Miller and Alexander Crutchett also finishing in the top 100, coming 81st and 96th respectively.
In the team event, after losing to Italy (45-29), USA (45-27) and Poland (a respectable 45-40), GB eventually took 15th place after beating Turkey (45-35).
It was a disappointing weekend for British epeeists in the individual Challenge Bernadotte Stockholm event in Sweden, where the top three GB finishers were Jon Willis (79th), Tom Bennett (106th), and Gregory Allen (137th). James Thornton was forced to pull out through injury at the beginning of the week, and is expected to be out until early June.
This weekend's events are:
- Men's Foil World Cup in Seoul
- Women's Foil Grand Prix in Seoul
- Women's Epee Grand Prix in Havannah
- Women's Sabre Grand Prix in Tianjin

Political Science & Economics
Chairman of the Political Science and Economics Department Dr. William Luckey gives overview of Christendom's unique approach to this very important field of study. Check out his blog, Catholic Truths on Economics!
It is the purpose of the Department of Political Science and Economics of Christendom College to help restore all things in Christ by educating, through the regular courses, and training, through the Politics Program, Catholic leaders in the public forum. Knowledge of the principles of a just political, social, and economic order are essential to a renewal of the temporal sphere. In line with this purpose, the College through its two required core courses in the fields of Political Theory and the Social Teachings of the Church gives the student the knowledge of classical and Catholic political and legal philosophy up to St. Thomas Aquinas, and demonstrates the deterioration of the classical natural law understanding in the major modern thinkers. Since ideas have consequences, the destructive results of much of modern thought are explained and analyzed. The student is then introduced to how the Church, through its authoritative teachings, has dealt with problems in the political, social, and economic sphere from the early Church Fathers through Vatican II and the writings of Pope St. John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis.
The upper division political science courses give the student a more in-depth comprehension of the great political thinkers, of the nature and actual function of the American governmental system, of constitutional law and jurisprudence, and of international relations and the governments and politics of other lands and regions.
The department also includes a minor and courses in various sub-fields in economics. The purpose of the science of economics, as famous British economist Alfred Marshall said, "is to raise up the poor." This is a Christian duty, but many well meaning Christians have either no idea or merely false ideas about how to do this. Good intentions are no substitute for sound economic theory. The economics minor gives the student the full range of economic knowledge, from economic philosophy, economic history, to advanced social teachings and technical courses.
Visit the Special Programs page for more information on our advanced Politics Program.
Requirements for all Political Science Major Concentrations
Christendom College offers its Political Science and Economics majors a choice between two B.A. sequences:
A. Regular Political Science sequence. Twenty-seven (27) credit hours from the advanced Political Science and Economics curriculum, including as required courses PSAE
- 311-312 American Government and Politics I and II
- 335-336 Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
- completion of the two courses of one of the following two sequences, either 421-422 The
- Classical Political Tradition and Medieval Political and Social Theory, or PSAE 427-428 Modern Political Theories and Contemporary Political Theory
- PSAE 512 Senior Seminar and Thesis
B. The Politics Program. A more career-oriented sequence, the Politics Program offers a B.A. in Political Science with a Politics Program Certificate after completion of a total of thirty (30) credit hours of upper-division courses in Political Science and Economics, which must include
- 9 credit hours of Practica, consisting of PSAE
- 382 (3 credits): a special series of lectures, seminars, and workshops
- 521 (6 credits): a summer internship position
- 21 hours of the regular Political Science and Economics curriculum, including PSAE
- 311-312 American Government and Politics I and II
- 335-336 Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
- 512 Senior Seminar and Thesis
The Politics Practica Program is open only to students in good standing; i.e., students on academic warning or probation are excluded from Practica (PSAE 382) and Internship (PSAE 521). The Internship program, for which a limited number of stipends and tuition scholarships is available, is selective and competitive; a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required for participation in the summer Internship (PSAE 521).
N.B. The Politics Program Certificate can be earned by anyone in any major by fulfilling the specific program requirements, namely, 3 credits of Practica (PSAE 382), 6 credits of American Government and Politics (PSAE 311-312), 6 credits in Economics (PSAE 335-336), and the six-credit Internship (PSAE 521).
The advanced curriculum thus offers the Political Science and Economics major a wide variety of courses which provide the preparation needed for advanced study in law school or graduate school, and for careers in government, business, and journalism.
The Department of Political Science and Economics also offers two minors open to students of all majors:
A. The General Political Science and Economics Minor: Eighteen credit hours are required for this minor, including the following PSAE courses:
- 311-312 American Government and Politics
- 335-336 Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
- completion of the two courses of one of the following two sequences, either 421-422 The Classical Political Tradition and Medieval Political and Social Theory, or 427-428 Modern Political Theories and Contemporary Political Theory
B. The Minor in Economics: Eighteen credit hours are required for this minor, including the following PSAE courses:
- 335-336 Principles of Economics: Macroeconomics and Microeconomics
- 451 Solidarism: A Modern Catholic Social Order
- three other courses of the student's choice in Economics
A course grade of at least C-minus is required for a course to fulfill the department's major or minor requirements. N.B. Course credit hours cannot be counted toward both the PSAE major and the 18 credit hours required for either minor.
PSAE 201 Principles of Political Theory An introduction to Classical and Catholic ideas on the relationship between man and the state, the sources of power and authority, inter-relationship between natural law and the conduct of government, the common good and its application to social and economic problems. The course deals with these topics in light of classical, medieval, and modern thinkers. Required of all students.
PSAE 202 The Social Teachings of the Church An introduction to the major social and political teachings of the Catholic Church from its beginnings to the present as found in Scripture, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and the authoritative documents of the Holy See. The major topics covered include: the duties of the individual to the state and society, the duties of the government to its citizens, wealth and poverty, property, the relationship of the state and the Church, socialism, capitalism, and the family in the life of society.

PraVeeN cHaUdHari 1937–2010 elected in 1988 "For contributions to the field of materials science and engineering and to the advancement of electronic materials." By MerToN c. fleMiNgs PRAVEEN CHAUDHARI, an innovator in the field of thin films and high-temperature superconductors, died on January 13, 2010, at his home in Briarcliff Manor, New york. dr. chaudhari joined iBM in 1966 and became vice-president of science in 1982. after retiring from iBM in 2003, he became director of Brookhaven National laboratory, a position he held until 2006. Praveen was born on November 30, 1937, in ludhiana, india, where he lived through the scarring times of the indian partition and witnessed the bloodshed of the 1947 riots. sent to boarding school, reputably because of his tendency to go fishing during school hours, he began his path to a professional career. in 1961 he received his bachelor's degree in metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Technology, in Kharagpur, and then in 1966 his doctoral degree in metallurgy from the Massachusetts institute of Technology. His thesis topic, under advisor Michael Bever, was on irradiation defects in bismuth telluride. 45

46 MeMorial TriBUTes Praveen then embarked on a 37-year career at iBM research in yorktown Heights, New york. He quickly became a source of inspiration to researchers there in many areas of thin- film physics. He was a crucial contributor to IBM's product development activities. during the 1970s, while working with others, he developed the amorphous gadolinium cobalt films that were integrated into iBM's magnetic bubble devices and later served as the basis for read-write media for the magneto- optic disk industry. in recognition of that development, he and his coinvestigators were awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1995. appointed vice president of science in 1982, Praveen shaped the evolution of iBM's science research programs in the 1980s while continuing his own productive research career. during the early years following the high-temperature superconductivity discovery, he carried out his executive duties during the day while working in his laboratory in the evenings. His team made a number of important contributions to the field, including the growing of yttrium barium copper oxide crystals with current densities two orders of magnitude greater than those previously obtained. in 2003, Praveen retired from iBM and became director of Brookhaven National laboratory. He put the laboratory on a firm foundation of stability and growth. His vision led to new initiatives for the laboratory, including establishment of its center for functional Nanomaterials. Praveen stepped down as laboratory director in 2003, joined columbia University as adjunct professor, and returned to his old laboratory at iBM in yorktown, where he could often be found running experiments. He remained active in his research until a few months before his death. Praveen was deeply involved in science and technology policy. He was elected to the National academy of engineering in 1988. He was co-chairman of the National research council committee on Materials science and engineering (1985–1989). This study was the basis of a presidential initiative in advanced materials and processing programs, announced by the White House in January 1992. He served on the U.s. National critical

47 PraVeeN cHaUdHari Technologies Panel (1992–1993) and advised the government of india on science and technology policy. for his achievements, Praveen was honored with a number of awards. in addition to the National Medal of Technology, these included the institute of electrical and electronics engineers Morris N. liebmann Memorial award (1992) for "the discovery of amorphous magnetic films in magneto-optic data storage systems," now the foundation of the worldwide magnetic-optic disk industry; the american Physical society's george e. Pake award (1987) for personal contributions to science and science management; and the excellence award of the U.s. Pan asian american chamber of commerce. Praveen was a fellow of the american academy of arts and sciences and a member of the National academy of sciences. Praveen was also a gifted leader who moved easily in the worlds of science, engineering, and policy. He was quiet but determined, demanding but understanding. His scientific and technological enthusiasm was infectious. He remained a gentleman to the end. He is survived by his wife, Karin; his son, Ashok; his daughter, Pia; his sister, Neera sahgal; and his two brothers, shiv chaudhari and deepak chaudhari.

Rep. Scott Peters says San Diego Mayor Bob Filner should step down
Peters says Filner should do it for 'good of city'
SAN DIEGO - Rep. Scott Peters (D-San Diego) issued a statement early Monday evening calling for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner to step down from office amid the sexual harassment allegations that have been levied against him.
Peters' statement reads:
"Last Friday afternoon, I called Mayor Filner to talk to him directly about the very serious accusations being made against him. I left him a voice mail asking him to step down for the good of the city, and offering to help him and his staff accomplish an orderly transition. He has not yet returned my call.
Our justice system and due process will over time determine the legal consequences of these allegations against the Mayor and will mete out any punishment or liability. Apart from these legal questions, the pain and humiliation these women have suffered is undeniable and inexcusable, and these women, who did nothing wrong, have my full support.
In the meantime, it is absolutely clear that the Mayor will be unable to give the job the full attention it requires, nor will he have the credibility required to be the best and strongest advocate for the causes the voters elected him to champion. As a member of our region's Congressional delegation, I need a true partner to join San Diego with policy initiatives in Washington, DC. If the Mayor truly cares about the causes he has so long and effectively championed -- veterans, the homeless, neighborhood empowerment, and economic prosperity for the middle class -- then he needs to step aside and let someone without this tremendous cloud hanging above him take the City's reins."

YIELD: Serves 4
Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6.
Cut the potatoes into thin matchsticks using a julienne attachment on a mandoline or food processor. Or, cut into thin rounds and use a sharp knife to cut the rounds into strips {more time consuming, but it works!}
Heat the butter and olive oil in an 8-in/20-cm ovenproof cast-iron or non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. Add the rosemary to the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft and a few pieces are brown. At this point, the potatoes should have settled into a round flat pancake.
Transfer the potatoes in the skillet to the hot oven to bake until the top and bottom are golden and crispy and the center is soft but cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide out of the pan onto paper towels/absorbent papers. Slide onto a baking sheet/tray and continue until the top and bottom are cooked to a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Serve in wedges or whole on a plate in the middle of the table for breaking and nibbling.
Put your mandoline to work: Hand-grating potatoes, as is often tradition in potato pancakes, release liquid and starch from the potatoes and can make your rösti gummy. Instead, use the grater on your food processor or a mandoline fit with the julienne attachment for thin, matchstick strips.

Jenson Button will be hoping to regain his charge on the title race, that he had earlier in the season, this weekend at the Valencia sort-of street circuit.
After taking six wins from the first seven races, Button and his Brawn team have had a relatively tough time of it in the last three outings.
He'll be keen for his team to find where they've gone wrong with recent developments, as the BGP 001 has become more sensitive than it was at the beginning of the year, and therefore harder to drive.
Jenson needs to fend off the charging Bulls of both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, and has commented that if Webber keeps scything away at his lead, he'll have overtaken Button in the Drivers' Championship after a mere four races.
And being that there's only seven races left in the season, Brawn GP must be data crunching overtime in the factory before this weekend's practice starts on Friday.
Whereas McLaren are in something of a confident mood, hoping to score their second win of the season at a circuit which they think should suit their car.
And of the two MP4-24s that'll be running, Heikki Kovalainen will be hoping it's him that comes out on top, after McLaren top brass told him to step up his game or risk losing his seat in 2010.
A seat that has already been lost is Nelson Piquet's over at Renault, who has been replaced by GP2 star Romain Grosjean.
The dual French-Swiss national – who races under the former's flag – has had two wins in GP2 this season, but also a spectacular crash in Monaco, so he'll be looking to show his mettle as quickly as possible.
Another driver hoping to impress this weekend is Luca Badoer. Filling in at Ferrari for the injured Felips Massa – after Michael Schumacher's neck injury impeded him from restarting his career – he has said that his aim is to simply finish the race.
I'm sure those 'promotional' 200kms that he was allowed to run in the F60 this week will have helped him get comfortable with the car again.
Odd timing that don't you think? Having to do promo duties only days before his first race. What a strange coincidence…
