Adam Oates has a new office and a new coaching staff but no players to coach.
George McPhee has a perch above the Capitals' practice rink, but no hockey to watch.
With just one day remaining on the NHLs expiring Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Capitals have signed restricted free-agent defenseman John Carlson to a six-year, 23.8 million contract extensi

do i have to install new suspension / coilovers or bigger brakes with 20" wheels? i heard that 20" make the ride a bit stiffer and will compromise performance and tires without modifications.Good Question (0) (0)
The 20" rims and tires will not negatively affect your suspension or brakes. In fact your car should feel better because there is less tire flex with the lower profile tires. Just watch out for pot holes!

Nice place near the station. We had the 27 euro set menu 4 courses including a cheese course. Nice food, well presented. Wine about 30 euros. Nothing breathtaking but a good, tasty, well presented meal at a reasonable price.
We called on the basis of previous reviews and the meal did not disappoint. We both had fish main courses. These were superbly cooked and served with an interesting blend of herbs and vegetables. We shared a plat gourmand for dessert and it was certainly enough for two of us. A well deserved excellent rating.
Nice looking restaurant with a pleasant ambience just off the main drag in Arcachon.
We had had a delicious seafood platter followed by Cafe Gourmand. The latter was a work of art and felt a shame to spoil but spoil we did and it was delicious too.
Service was friendly and very efficient; just as you would expect from a...
Had lunch at this restaurant with my family. Near to Gare de Arcachon and with parking lots nearby. Set menu prices starts from 26 € while main course average around 20€. Food was nice with reasonable service standards. Recommended!
We visited this restaurant on the last night of our holiday and couldn't have chosen better. We chose the 26,50 Euro menu and the food was exceptional, from the seafood starters and the melon with ham and port, through the fish or steak main courses, the cheese and the desert,Each course was beautifully presented with little extras, such as a...
We visited this resturant for lunch again for the 3rd time and was not disappointed with the quantity of the food or the friendly professional service. 3 course meal with good choiice was heaven on the taste buds. While driving down from Bordeaux towards San Sabastion we really enjoy popping into Arcachon for a memorable fine dining experience. Lovely couple...
We ate here on a Monday night and the place was full. Although busy the service was first class as was the food. We ate the set four course menu at 28euro and what a bargain! Each course was better than the next with the lamb just a bit special!! My partner had the steak which was very tender and...
we had lunch there with our twin children. The place had been recommended by our hotel manager (*villa regina) and te recommendations was a good one.
We chose the market menu for 14.50 which is the cheap lunch menu. It had three courses which were all lovely and well prepared. The fish soup was a particularly good starter - very...
Food ia vwry good with good ingredients prepared properly. If you look for an honest dinner with traditional dishes, this is a place. Service, to French standards, is good.
After several diners in different restaurants of Arcachon, we were very pleased to discover Le Pavillon d'Arguin. What differs from the other restaurants is that this one offers not only seafood but also traditional dishes. As a starter, we discovered an exquisite oven baked camembert. We very much appreciated the very delicate presentation of the dishes and the warm service.

IPCC Admits Its Past Reports Were Junk
[edited for length]
On June 27, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a statement saying it had "complete[d] the process of implementation of a set of recommendations issued in August 2010 by the InterAcademy Council (IAC), the group created by the world's science academies to provide advice to international bodies."
Hidden behind this seemingly routine update on bureaucratic processes is an astonishing and entirely unreported story....
If the IPCC's reports were flawed... then the scientific footing of the man-made global warming movement... is undermined. The Obama administration's war on coal may be unnecessary. Billions of dollars in subsidies to solar and wind may have been wasted. Trillions of dollars of personal income may have been squandered worldwide in campaigns to "fix" a problem that didn't really exist.
The "recommendations" issued by the IAC were not minor adjustments to a fundamentally sound scientific procedure. Here are some of the findings of the IAC's 2010 report.
...In plain English: the IPCC reports are not peer-reviewed.
.... In other words: authors are selected from a "club" of scientists and nonscientists who agree with the alarmist perspective favored by politicians.
The rewriting of the Summary for Policy Makers by politicians and environmental activists ... was plainly admitted....
... We were told by everyone -- environmentalists, reporters, politicians, even celebrities -- that the IPCC reports were science, not politics. Now we are told that even the scientists involved in writing the reports...felt the summaries were "too political."
Here is how the IAC described how the IPCC arrives at the "consensus of scientists":
Plenary sessions to approve a Summary for Policy Makers last for several days and commonly end with an all-night meeting. Thus, the individuals with the most endurance or the countries that have large delegations can end up having the most influence on the report (p. 25).
How can such a process possibly be said to capture or represent the "true consensus of scientists"?
The IAC authors warn, also on page 34, that "conclusions will likely be stated so vaguely as to make them impossible to refute, and therefore statements of 'very high confidence' will have little substantive value." Yes, but that doesn't keep the media and environmental activists from citing them over and over again as "proof" that global warming is man-made and a crisis...even if that's not really what the reports' authors are saying.
Finally, the IAC noted, "the lack of a conflict of interest and disclosure policy for IPCC leaders and Lead Authors was a concern raised by a number of individuals who were interviewed by the Committee or provided written input" as well as "the practice of scientists responsible for writing IPCC assessments reviewing their own work. The Committee did not investigate the basis of these claims, which is beyond the mandate of this review" (p. 46).
Too bad, because these are both big issues in light of recent revelations that a majority of the authors and contributors to some chapters of the IPCC reports are environmental activists, not scientists at all....
That, in turn, means that the first four IPCC reports were, in fact, unreliable. Not just "possibly flawed" or "could have been improved," but likely to be wrong and even fraudulent.
It means that all of the "endorsements" of the climate consensus made by the world's national academies of science -- which invariably refer to the reports of the IPCC as their scientific basis -- were based on false or unreliable data and therefore should be disregarded or revised. It means that the EPA's "endangerment finding" ... was wrong and should be overturned.

Funny thing is only two of those three companies needed the government to bail it out. Ford has been doing far better than the USPS. IBM, G.E., and a host of other companies.

First, Reagan did less to solve the fuel crisis than Carter did. CAFE standards continue to save us millions of gallons of fuel almost daily.
Reagan used Cap and Trade on every industrial smokestack, not just a single industry and he did not back off. It was implemented and successful.
Further, he did it for environmental reasons.

Oh the government employees get a lot of the money. CA has over $500 billion in unpaid for state pension promises and so the governor of CA ended many welfare programs including in home care for elderly and disabled people, he set up copayments for Medicaid, he cut community colleges so badly that over 300,000 young people were rejected from community colleges last year. That is how underfunded the colleges in CA are now. He raised tuitions on state colleges too. He raised property taxes, raised the sales tax which was already 9 percent, he has a millionaires tax on the ballot, he created an internet sales tax in CA which begins in Sept. All this to pay that $500 billion in unfunded pension promises.
How many of you know someone who was a house painter who now enjoys a $100K per year pension?? No one gets anything like that unless they worked for the government. How many of you know clerical workers in the private sector who rake in $75K a year in a pension with a double digit cost of living increase each year?? No one except state workers get this kind of money. And we pay for it. They tried to create a new tax on everyone who makes $7,500 a year or more. Tax the dirt poor minimum wage workers who have no pensions to pay out that kind of money to state retirees who retire at 55?? Are you kidding me?? And this is what the Dems are doing. They are robbing the poor to give to the rich.
The ONLY thing the Dems have left is getting that money from those government employee unions and getting those votes. Obama got $500 million in campaign contributions from government employee unions, and that is why the head of the SEIU is at the White House all of the time. We pay for this stuff, dirt poor people are paying for this stuff and the Dems get money and votes for taking our money from us and giving it to a few people who worked for the state. Soon enough everyone is going to get the hell out of CA and those state pensions can go bankrupt.

This is the kind of BS that makes the conversation over.

You are attacking me because of a postal worker committing crimes against me. Rather than you supporting the crime victim, you deny that it happened so you can support the criminals just because she is black and the post master if Hispanic. You would rather they commit crimes against me and threaten to kill me and support that than to tell the truth. If the post office did not have to hire so many people of different races and did not have a union that says they can never be fired, they would not have the nerve to commit crimes and threaten people's lives. You're like the guy who lets a woman get raped cause the guy doing it is black, so what, it's fine cause he is not white. This is the mentality, and in the meantime I have to deal with the crimes, the insanity of this stuff, the unprofessionalism, and they did threaten my life. You don't get it. I live in a welfare city where crimes go down every five seconds. There is NO professionalism here. You go to a doctor, lawyer, deal with the post office, anyone does anything and no one does one thing about any of it. this place has the second highest crime rate in CA, second highest rate of women being abducted off of the streets, highest amount of meth users and one of the highest rates of alcoholism and so no one works, so no one has any respect for these people, and yes they do whatever the hell they want. There are no laws here. It's every man for himself. yesterday I had my ATM card used all over the place and had to shut the card down. Someone in a store here got ahold of the number and tried to use it all over the place. This is all this place is. Don't tell me the U.S. is a first world country or that I have ANY rights. I have no rights. I have no right to make a living and no rights to stop anyone from committing crimes. The idea of cities in the U.S. having people in jobs and making a living and having laws and rules is in the past. That ended in the late 90s. this is the way it is now, and I hope every one of you who abuses crime victims in here has this sh!t done to you. Just because maybe your town has a few jobs left and mine does not, doesn't mean your town isn't going to end up just like this in a few more years. See how you like it when everyone commits crimes and is on drugs and then people attack you over you being attacked. This is third world crap. You support insane people committing crimes, good, I hope they do it to you.

If you were not getting your mail, what would you do??? I wrote to the post master general and he did not read the letter and he did not respond. In the meantime, I was not getting my utility bills nor my bank statements, nothing. What would you do?? I called up a number in the phone book. A professional black woman with Consumer Affairs spent a week investigating it and she found out that the black women mail carrier had signed to put in three phony mail forwards on me, and the lady from Consumer Affairs told me I am a crime victim. What do you want me to do about it?? Why did she do that?? I have ZERO to do with any of it. Why are you abusing a crime victim?? why did the post master general threaten to kill me over my contacting Consumer Affairs?? What in the hell do I have to do with any of it?? Nothing, zero, nada. Why did that mail carrier do the same thing to other women on her route?? Why did I not ever have any problem collecting my mail for over 40 years??? Why are these people being allowed to commit crimes?? Why can't they be fired?? They do this stuff because they cannot be fired, obviously. I don't have one thing to do with any of it and the idea that you liberals would rather people like this kill an innocent person than to for you to tell the truth says it all. you would rather support people committing crimes and killing an innocent person just to play the game you support black people than to deal with the truth. I do not want to live in a place that is this dangerous and insane, and I do not want one thing to do with any of this stuff. I have nothing to do with it. I'm 55 years old, from San Francisco. I have NOTHING to do with this welfare town, crime fest, sh!t hole. I had nothing to do with what that mental case mail carrier does, I have nothing to do with the post master general.
I hope you get mugged and as they kick your face in liberals stand over you and say "so what, you are white, the guy killing you is a minority, so it's okay, it's just fine, so what?" I can only hope you get back what you are giving out. Why would I stay in a place where a post master general threated to kill me over my calling a number in the phone book to try to get my mail unless he was on shaky ground, in a lot of trouble and losing his job over him being so corrupt?? None of this insane crap has one thing to do with me.

#19492 Jul 16, 2012
USPS doesn't lose money, the government takes it...
Congress set this slow-motion train wreck in motion way back in 2006 when it passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, which required the Postal Service to pre-pay expected health care costs for future retirees within 10 years. Compressing the payment period to just 10 years is why the annual payments are a whopping $5.4 billion to $5.8 billion apiece.
No other organization in the country carries such a burden.
#19493 Jul 16, 2012
I hope you have crimes committed against you and people say you are nuts and they let you die. Come on. You all know the U.S. is going under and you know there are too many people on the planet so you hope everyone but you dies. That's why it is suddenly so in to wish everyone else dead, that's why it is so in style to bash crime victims. I hope people do this to you. Your mail carrier can't be fired either, not ever, so if you get a new one that is nuts and they throw your mail in the garbage, there isn't one thing you can do about it either, and I hope when they threaten to kill you, that everyone says you are nuts, so what, ha, ha, ha. I hope you get this back on you.

Minted Lima Bean Dip
I have been preparing dozens and dozens of cookies for a friend's wedding (more on that later), which is a project that requires freezer space. And my freezer.... well, it does not have space. Instead, it has four-year-old coconut flakes. And bags of frostbitten vegetable trimmings I once intended to turn into stock. And... well... is that tomato paste? Chipotles in adobo? A curry base from that cookbook I checked out the library a few years ago? C'mere, take a sniff and tell me what you think. No? Fair enough.
So yeah, it's a bit of a(n overcrowded) state. To clear some room, I purged some of the more ancient and unidentifiable items. And then I set about trying to take some of the miscellaneous remainders out of the deep freeze, and into something edible.
I have absolutely no idea why I bought frozen baby lima beans. Were they on sale? Did I have some plan? Maybe some Persian recipe? Literally no idea. This bag expired a year ago, so the initial motivation is now lost to the ages. And yes, I probably should have thrown them in the compost — but I am just this kind of devil-may-care thrifty danger-skirter.
I briefly flirted with a Greek-inspired bake, pairing the beans with feta and dill and heaps of garlic. But it's a bit too hot to bake these days. So instead, I went for a dip (which, as bonus, could also involve several of the odd bags of baguette slices and bread heels also loitering around the freezer). I simmered the beans, and then tossed them in the food processor along with a few sprigs of mint (thanks, neighbors' garden!), some garlic and lemon, and a handful of spinach (not necessarily, but I always love me some greens). The result is simple, green, and fresh-tasting — and given its frost-bitten origins, that's quite a feat.
Minted Lima Bean Dip
yields ~2 cups
1 bag frozen baby lima beans (10 ounces)
1 handful spinach
a few sprigs fresh mint
1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
juice of 1/2 lemon
glug olive oil
salt and pepper
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lima beans, and simmer until tender, ~15 minutes. Drain.
Throw the softened beans in the food processor, along with all of the other ingredients. Process, scraping down as needed, until a rough puree forms. Taste to adjust seasonings, and serve.

Given the glacial pace of publishing, you'll sadly have to wait until 2017 for your own copy. But in the meanwhile, I'll be working with Kachka on the delicious recipes and stories of Russian cuisine. And stopping in to tell you about non-herring-related items along the way. Did you know that there hasn't been a Russian cookbook from a major press in 25 years? Let's change that.

Pizza with Cilantro Pesto, Roasted Broccoli, and Red Onion
When you have pizza every week, there are a lot of benefits. There's the ritual of it all, the removal of the daily crap-what's-for-dinner scramble, and the fact that you (mostly) remember to set up dough the night before. Also, you get good at it. You learn how much yeast, which oven rack works best, what proportion of whole wheat flour you can get away with. But when you make pizza regularly, you also start to hunger for a bit of variation. Yes, I still love a classic red pie, with a pile of thinly-sliced mushrooms and a few green olives (and a good shake of the addictive pizza pizazz spice mix that came along with a tin of cookies in my Christmas package from a dear friend). And lately, I've been back on my seasonal spate of asparagus pies. But with pizza after pizza, I sometimes want to mix it up. Sometimes this does not go so well (okra curry pizza, I'm looking at you). But this pie was pretty great.
I don't know why, but this worked. Cilantro pesto is bright and bracing, and roasted broccoli has got that fusty caramelization. Add red onion (and, of course, lots of cheese), and it's surprisingly successful — a welcome little bit of variation within the comfortingly delicious ritual.
Pizza with Cilantro Pesto, Roasted Broccoli, and Red Onion
Pesto (enough for multiple pies):
1 bunch cilantro, washed and dried
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
2-3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon mild vinegar, such as rice or cider
2-4 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 broccoli crowns (I tend to make a lot, as I end up eating a good amount of broccoli off the pan)
olive oil
1 ball of dough, ~10 ounces
1/4 - 1/3 pound mozarella, shredded
1/4 a small red onion, thinly sliced
To make the pesto: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor, and blitz until a loose paste forms (you may need to scrape things down a few times until it gets going). Add more olive oil as/if needed, then add salt and additional vinegar to taste. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Place a pizza stone on the bottom to heat up, and a rack in the middle for your broccoli.
Break or cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, and toss with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and bake until beginning to soften/caramelize (it'll bake more on the pizza, so don't go nuts). Remove, and let cool somewhat. Turn the oven temperature up to 475.
To assemble the pizza: Place the pizza dough on a lightly-floured counter top, and press outward into a thick disk (leaving a 1" unpressed area along the edge as the crust). Pick up the disk and let it drape over the backs of your hands, letting gravity help you stretch it into a 12-14" circle. If the dough resists, let it relax for a few minutes (covered), then try again. Place the stretched dough on a peel (or overturned cookie sheet or cutting board) that's lightly dusted with semolina or other type of flour.
Spread a generous portion of the pesto over the dough, up to within an inch of the crust (refrigerate any leftover pesto for another use, such as pasta). Sprinkle on the cheese, then scatter the roasted broccoli and red onions. Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone in your oven, reduce the heat to 450, and bake ~7-10 minutes, until the crust browns and the cheese melts and everything looks delicious. Remove the pizza from the oven, let cool for a moment, then slice and serve.

Chocolate Macarons
A few years back, I was having a drink with a bunch of writers here in town. And one woman (whose work I admired, but whom I had never met) walked in with her two little kids, and plopped them down at a nearby table with a clatter of crayons. And then she explained how she was late because, well, she'd jumped out of bed earlier to deal with some household emergency, slipped on a sheet, and cracked a rib against a bedpost. And by cracked, I mean fractured. So here she was, trussed up, tending to her kids, sipping a glass of wine. Oh, and her husband was traveling, and not slated to return to the country until later that night. How was she even here, we wondered? How was she even upright? She waved away our concerns. "I kinda feel like I can do anything right now," she laughed. "I'm just running on fumes." And, likely, painkillers.
I've had a spate of those weeks as well recently. Wherein you produce story after story, jump at the feast-or-famine freelance chance to do some background reporting/recording for another radio program, field an unanticipated spate of calls for a separate project (more soon), and, oh yeah, get ready to host a dozen people for Passover. Lordy. Fumes indeed.
Thankfully the madness is mostly over. Stories were filed, floors were scrubbed, food cooked and folding chairs purchased. After a few weeks of overworked insomnia (which involved a 5 am bathroom cleaning one Saturday morning), I even slept in. Exhaaaaaale.
And part of the secret to my success lay in these cookies. I knew that my schedule was about to explode, and in the pre-madness weeks, I did what prep I could. And thankfully, these cookies freeze beautifully.
I have long been a fan of the delicate cookie plate as a Passover dessert, mostly because we're full of the meal (and it allows me to supply saucers instead of proper dessert place, which is generally all that's left in circulation at that point in the evening). Yes, these particular cookies are a wee bit fussy. But they're delicious, all chocolate and almonds and air. Also, sometimes a bit of fuss is nice — especially when you can get it out of the way before the madness begins.
Chocolate Macarons
adapted from David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life in Paris
yields ~18 finished cookies (I doubled the recipe for a crowd)
If you're making this for Passover, you can omit the corn syrup, and make sure you have kosher-for-Passover powdered sugar (most of them have cornstarch). Also you can swap out a dairy-free cream and margarine for the butter, and end up with a dairy-free dessert.
1 cup (100 grams) powdered sugar
½ cup almond flour (50 grams)
3 tablespoons (25 grams) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
5 tablespoons (65 grams) granulated sugar
½ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons light corn syrup (optional)
4 ounces (120 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Stack two cookie sheets together, and line the top one with parchment paper (this isn't necessary, but in my experience gives you the best results). Prep three stacks of cookie sheets — if you don't have enough, just lay out three sheets of parchment paper.
Sift or grind together the powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites, gradually and then increasing the speed to high, until they begin to rise and hold their shape. While whipping, sprinkle in the granulated sugar, and continue beating a few more minutes until you form stiff peaks.
Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg whites with a flexible rubber spatula. Continue to mix until it becomes a batter that will pour off of your spatula in a thick-yet-pourable (not plop-able) stream — the party line in macaron-making is going for something that "flows like magma". You want it so that when the batter pours down it will hold its shape for a few seconds, but then gradually slump down into the remaining batter. Yes, you will be deflating things. But that's okay. Think about the fact you're going to pipe cookies that you want to hold their shape somewhat, but not maintain the peak from where you piped them.
When the mixture has reached this stage, transfer it into a pastry bag, or plastic bag (if the latter, then snip off a corner). Pipe one-inch circles onto your parchment paper, with about an inch between them (I just aim for as small as I possibly can). Repeat with remaining batter and sheets.
When the cookies are all piped, rap the baking sheet against the counter once or twice to pop air bubbles (if you have free range sheets of cookies, you can lift up the parchment by both sides, and then drop it from a height of a few inches). Bake about 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are set just enough on the bottom where you can almost peel one off. Remove, let set on the sheet a few minutes, and then remove the cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining cookies — if you're recycling cookie pans, let them cool slightly between batches. And don't worry about the cookies sitting out on the counter awaiting their turn in the oven — some recipes actually recommend that.
When the cookies are baked and cooled, heat the cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan. When the cream just begins to boil at the edges, remove from heat, and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit one minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in the pieces of butter. Let cool until it becomes thick-yet-still spreadable (I kept trying to speed this up in the fridge, then missing my window and needing to microwave it — seriously like 3 times). When the ganache is ready, take a spoon or knife or small spatula, and place a small spoonful of ganache on the flat bottom of a cookie. Find a similarly sized cookie (if yours, like mine, um, vary a bit), and sandwich them together. Let age a day before eating, or store in the freezer for a few weeks.

Fresh Pasta in Lemon Cream Sauce with Seared Scallops
Sometimes I make meals that transform humble, dare-I-say-cheap ingredients into something fancier. Roasting some carrots and dressing them up with sauce and garnish, or elevating potatoes with a pile of North African spices. All delicious. And then there are meals on the flip side — where I take fancy, indulgent, special occasion ingredients. And do almost nothing to them, and just let their simple deliciousness shine through. Like I did the other night.
I recently had a friend over for dinner, and did that lovely fake math wherein you decide well, since we're not eating out as we'd initially planned, I'm still actually saving money by buying these fancy ingredients, right? Perhaps you are familiar with these batshit calculations? Anyways, in this case, it involved a leisurely walk down pick up some fresh-made pasta, and a tub of creme fraiche. Then some scallops — which, admittedly are terrifyingly expensive, but luckily you only need a few per person for a transcendent meal. And this was transcendent.
This is one of those meals that's more about shopping than cooking. After we enjoyed a delicious salad (butter lettuce, leftover roasted cauliflower, kumquats and feta), I ducked back in the kitchen to pull this together in just minutes. The scallops seared, the pasta boiled, and a plop of creme fraiche, lemon, and arugula hit the pan. That's it. I took a hasty cellphone pic, and we ate in amazement.
Fresh Pasta in Lemon Cream Sauce with Seared Scallops
inspired by the pasta dish in Amanda Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte, but tweaked beyond recognition
serves 2
~6 large fresh scallops
high-heat oil, like grapeseed
1 pound
1 cup creme fraiche
zest and juice of a meyer lemon
a few handfuls arugula, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and bring a large skillet to a screaming high heat. Set the scallops out to dry (I just set them out on a plate lined with a piece of a brown paper bag).
When your pan is very hot, pour in a bit of oil to slick the surface, and place in the scallops. Sear for a few minutes, until they develop a nice crust, then flip and sear on the other side. Remove from the pan, and set aside. Salt.
Place the pasta in the boiling water, and cook until done. Drain (I like to pour some of the pasta water into the serving plates to warm them, as this dish is best warm). Turn the scallop pan back on, and add the creme fraiche and lemon juice/zest. Stir to mix everything together (including that delicious flavor from the pan), then stir in the arugula and pasta, and toss everything together until the arugula is just wilted. Salt to taste. Drain your serving plates if you filled them with pasta water, then fill with pasta, and top with scallops. Serve. Moan. Enjoy.

Cookie-Style Hamantaschen
For the past several years, I've been making hamantaschen — jam-filled Purim pastries — with a cream cheese crust. It's tangy, delicious, and creates something that's almost like a flaky little triangular tart. But the hamantaschen I grew up with weren't like tarts. They were like cookies. And I kinda wanted something like that.
These hamantaschen are indeed cookie-like — if you fancy deliciously buttery cookies. The dough is basically like a sweet butter cookie, all fat and flour and sugar and egg yolks. For a wee bit of fun, I added a touch of orange zest, to offset the sweet jam, and a bit of rye flour, for that Patisserie-by-way-of-Poland edge.
The end result isn't particularly dressed-up or fancy. No sweet cheese filling, no mashed-up international triangular turns, no need to fuss and freeze. Just butter, flour, and the jams I made myself back in the sunny late fall days, sent right from the counter to the oven (and then to my mouth). And right now, it feels perfect.
Cookie-Style Hamantaschen
adapted from Joan Nathan in the New York Times
yields ~ 3 dozen small cookies
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, warmed to room temperature
zest of 1 orange
2 egg yolks
1 cup powdered sugar
hefty pinch salt
1 cup rye flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Place the butter, orange zest, and egg yolks in a food processor. Pulse to mix, then add the powdered sugar, until well blended. Add the salt and flours, processing (and scraping down as needed) until the mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a square of waxed paper or plastic, shape into a chubby disk, wrap well, and refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight).
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper. Take the dough from the refrigerator, and unwrap onto a lightly floured countertop.
Roll out the dough until it's somewhere between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or a glass dipped in flour, cut out rounds (I favor smallish cookies, ~2 1/4-inch (also because that's the size cutter I have)). Place a dollop of jam (about a teaspoon) in the center of each round, and fold the sides around to create a triangle (after doing a few, you'll get a sense of how much jam you can fit). Mush any dough scraps back together, and repeat.
Bake the cookies until lightly browned, ~10-12 minutes. Let cool, transferring to a rack if they seem like they're too brown on the bottoms.

Grain Bowl with Barley, Mustard Greens, Chickpeas and Tahini
I often speak disparagingly of my old favorite of "hippie dinner." Some whole grain, steamed or sauteed vegetables, maybe a bit of tofu, and tahini. It's a healthy standard, sure, but it also pegs you as a dated, stubbornly unstylish old hippie. And then I happened upon a few articles, in the space of a week, that made me realize I was branding it all wrong. It wasn't hippie dinner, see —it was a grain bowl! My cooking is so au courant.
Thus rebranded, my quinoa-tofu-broccoli grain bowl seemed due for a bit of an update. Or, to be honest, I was thinking that I should try to put a dent in the enormous vat of barley that seems to have landed in my pantry. And then there were the mustard greens I had bought because they were just so pretty, but I didn't have much of a destination for (as my initial suggestion of "mustards pizza?" was roundly dismissed for the bad idea it so clearly was). And so, revamped hippie dinner! Excuse me, I mean, grain bowl.
As with hippie dinner of the so-dated past, grain bowls can really be anything. I had the aforementioned greens and barley, and some leftover chickpeas I'd simmered up a few days prior for whatever. I made up a standard tahini, but also tossed in some ground turmeric and freshly grated ginger (which both added a bit of flavor that stood up to the bitter blanched mustards, as well as some psychological witch doctor immunity against whatever late-winter illnesses seem to be circulating out there), and topped everything with a few random fresh herbs. Being trendy turns out to be delicious. I had no idea.
Grain Bowl with Barley, Mustard Greens, Chickpeas and Tahini
yields 2 servings
Ginger-Turmeric Tahini Sauce:
1/3 cup tahini paste
juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
1 clove garlic, pressed or grated
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
pinch each sugar and salt
Grain Bowl:
1 bunch mustard greens, washed and torn/chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 cups cooked barley (I favor cooking mine like pasta in big pot of boiling water, as I'm less likely to scorch it)
~ 3/4 cup cooked chickpeas (warm to at least room temperature if they're coming out of the fridge)
handful of fresh herbs, if you've got (I had some scallions and cilantro)
To make the Tahini: mix together the tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, turmeric, sugar and salt. Add a splash of water, and mix, adding more water (or, if it seems like it needs more bite, lemon juice) until you reach a thick-yet-pourable consistency. Set aside.
Bring a kettle of water to a boil while you wash and chop the mustard greens. Place the greens in a large heat-proof bowl, then pour the water over them. Let sit for a few minutes to soften, then drain (this both cooks the greens and leaches out some of the bitterness, and has the added benefit of making it harder to overcook).
While the greens are blanching, assemble your bowls. Divide the barley between two bowls, then top with the chickpeas. Add the blanched and drained mustard greens, top with a healthy dollop of tahini sauce, then sprinkle on the fresh herbs.

Net neutrality, the often-contentious issue that killed last year's Congressional rewrite of telecom legislation, is back on the agenda of the new Congress. Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) last week reintroduced legislation designed to ensure that the Internet remains equally open and accessible to all consumers and competitors.
The proposed network neutrality bill is expected to trigger a new round of fierce lobbying over Internet regulation, extending last year's telecommunications debate into this year.
In the Senate, the Internet Freedom Preservation Act is intended to restrict high-speed Internet service providers from discriminating against competitors by offering preferential treatment for a fee.
On the House side, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, told the National Journal last week that passing network neutrality legislation would be a "high priority" this year. He also predicted that, under Democrat control of Congress, there would be major telecommunications legislation in 2007.
The latest developments on the net neutrality came less than two weeks after AT&T agreed to abide by network neutrality regulations for two years as a condition of its merger with BellSouth.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to trimmable resistor networks especially for use as a part of an integrated circuit (IC). More particularly, this invention relates to such networks of the type comprising a number of individual links which can be selectively cut to change the resistance presented by the network.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Integrated circuits often require resistors the resistance values of which can be trimmed over a wide range. For example, such resistors may be needed to adjust the net resistance of a circuit resistor having an initial tolerance of �20%, to an absolute tolerance less than a fraction of a percent. Even wider trim range is necessary to ratio-match resistors having different compositions and tolerances as great as �30%. In ratio matching, the trim range must accommodate the sum of both sets of tolerances. Other cases arise in practice which also require substantial trim range.
A large trim range can be provided by an individual resistor which is controllably cut through a major portion of its area. Such a technique is however unsatisfactory in many respects. Large trim range resistors are often very large in area, and require long and time consuming trims which makes the parts (ICs) expensive to manufacture. These long trims produce a large "wound" and surrounding the completely trimmed kerf is a partially trimmed transition region which is less stable than the untrimmed portion of the resistor. The wounded area typically exhibits a slightly different temperature coefficient than the untrimmed portion of the resistor. If a resistor is trimmed over a long portion of its length, the relatively larger wound may seriously affect stability and temperature tracking.
Some of these problems can be overcome by use of link trimming. In this approach, a resistor is constructed so that it has a number of alternative conduction paths through links which may be selectively cut. Generally, when one of these links is cut, the path is opened and no current flows in the cut region. This makes the trimmed resistor essentially free of the stability and TC effects produced by wounds in a large-area trim resistor.
One type of link network comprises a pair of parallel conductors having a series of link resistors connected between the conductors, somewhat like ties of a railroad track. By cutting many links, a large change in resistance can be obtained. One last link can be partially cut to make a fine adjustment in the resistor values. This one cut can have a small area so as to have only a minor effect on stability or TC.
This railroad track design has a number of limitations. Because all of the links are in parallel, a large width must be trimmed, requiring long trim times. Such a resistor network also is relatively large and inefficient in terms of trim linearity. The effect of cutting an individual link depends upon the number of links already cut. If all links are of equal width, the first few links cut have a much smaller effect on overall resistance than the effect of the last few after many have been cut. This is opposite to what is desired, i.e., a large coarse trim followed by finer high-resolution trimming.
To overcome these deficiencies, modifications have been proposed to the railroad track design, such as using links of different sizes which are selectively cut to achieve predetermined changes in resistance. Many of these modification schemes suffer from the weakness that although a large number of resistance values can be obtained, many of these values are redundant, or may not be useful because they are so far away from other values that there is no practical way to interpolate between them. Thus, the actual useful range and resolution of such a design is much less than the range of possible resistance values or the resolution of the smallest change.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention to be described in detail hereinbelow, a resistor network is provided comprising a number of series-connected sections (three in one example) each consisting of two parallel-connected link resistors. Either of the two resistors in each section can be selectively cut thereby providing three possible resistance values for each section. The values of the links are selected so that the resistance of a given section can be trimmed, by cutting through links, to values which divide the trim range of the section into equal sub-ranges.
The trim range of a first section is made less than the total network trim range by the amount of one of the section sub-ranges. For example, a given two-resistor section can be made to have values R, R+ΔR1, and R+2ΔR1. If the total trim range intended for this section and all others of less range is RT, then the link resistors are sized to provide that 3ΔR1 =RT. The given section can be trimmed by 0, ΔR1, or 2ΔR1, so that the resistance of the section can be brought to within ΔR1 of the maximum desired value. Then, ΔR1 is chosen as the full trim range of the remaining sections.
For example, the next series-connected section of lesser range is arranged to trim by amounts 0, ΔR2, 2ΔR2 where 3ΔR2 =ΔR1 (=RT /3). In this way, the first section trimmed can reduce the difference between the actual and desired value to less than a predetermined fraction of the total trim range allowed for. The next section can reduce this predetermined fraction of the trim range to an even smaller range, by the same method, and so further reduce the difference between the actual and desired value. Proceeding in this way, sections can be added to reduce the actual to desired difference by any specified amount. Finally, any residual difference can be reduced by a small continuous trim of a series-connected one-resistor section. Since the continuous trim range required of this one resistor can be made arbitrarily small, by the addition of multi-resistor sections, the adverse effects of a continuous trim can be reduced to any desired degree.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram together with pictorial elements to illustrate one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a line graph presenting the total trim range for the embodiment of FIG. 1, and showing how that trim range is divided into equal-sized sub-ranges of a first section of the network;
FIG. 3 is a line graph showing how a second section of the network further trims one sub-range of the first section; and
FIG 4 is a circuit diagram illustrating further embodiments of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown pictorially an IC chip 10 having an internal circuit 12 of any kind requiring a trimmable resistor to establish precise operating conditions, for example, to be combined with a circuit resistor RC having a resistance with a large variability. A network for trimming the resistance in accordance with this invention is generally indicated at 14. The trimming operation is carried out by making electrical measurements at a test point which is connected internally to a preselected node (not shown) in the circuit 12, and selectively cutting resistors of the network 14 in accordance with the observed measurement values at that test point.
The network 14 includes three series-connected sections 16, 18, 20 each consisting of two parallel-connected link resistors adapted to be cut through as part of the trimming operation. Any one of the sections can take on three useful values, one for both resistors uncut, and the other two which result from cutting one or the other link. Referring particularly to the first section 16, and referring also to FIG. 2, these three resistance values 22, 24, 26 are shown to differ by equal amounts designated ΔR1. The difference in resistance of the two links RA and RB must be ΔR1 in order that the two cases where one is cut will differ by ΔR1. The difference between the smaller of the two link resistors and their parallel combination must also be ΔR1.
Designating RA as the smaller of the two link resistors, it will be evident that:
and also that:
By substituting:
The parallel combination of RA and RB is given by: ##EQU2##
Therefore the three values RA (2-√2), RA, and RA √2 differ in steps of RA (√2-1). Considering that a total trim range of RT must be provided for, and starting from the untrimmed value of the parallel sections, the resistance can be trimmed up at the first section by one times (√2-1)RA or two times (√2-1)RA. A third such sub-range can be trimmed by other sections giving ##EQU3## Solving this equation for RA : ##EQU4## By cutting one, the other or neither of the two parallel resistors RA and RB, the actual resistance of the first section 16 can be brought to within 1/3 of the planned trim range RT from the desired value.
The remaining trim range, RT /3, can then be chosen as the range for the remainder of the trimmable resistor. The next section can be designed to reduce any remaining difference to 1/3(RT /3) or RT /32. A third section can be used to reduce the difference to RT /33. Additional sections can be employed to approximate the desired value as closely as desired. As a practical matter, once a large range has been substantially reduced by link trimming, a small continuously trimmed resistor RFT can be used as a fine trim, to give a final adjustment.
It will be seen that the values selected for the section resistors (e.g., RA and RB) are in accordance with one aspect of the invention selected such that the resistance of the corresponding section changes by at least approximately integral multiples of a fixed amount when the resistors are cut. The fixed amount in this case is designated ΔR1. The resistor values also are selected to provide that the increment of change in the section resistance divides the trim range for the section by one more than the number of increments available. In the described example, the change in section resistance ΔR1 divides the trim range (RT) for the section by three, which is one more than the number of increments available (2ΔR1). The resistance values for the lesser-range sections have the same ratios as those of the first section, and are scaled-down versions of the resistors of the immediately-preceding section. This scaling factor is designated "m" in FIG. 1.
Actual resistance values for a network 14 having a design trim range of 17K, with a minimum value of 13K and a maximum value of 30K, are (rounded off) as follows:
______________________________________RA = 13.68K RB = 19.35KmRA = 4.56K mRB = 6.45Km2 RA = 1.52K m2 RB = 2.15K______________________________________
The continuously variable fine trim resistor RFT can for this network have a value which is variable between 1.426K and 2.485K.
A network in accordance with the invention can employ sections with more than two paralleled resistors. For example, network sections having three paralleled resistors may be advantageous for some applications. Considering such a three-resistor section, and normalizing it to a unit value for the "first" of three resistors, the three resistors will be: 1, 1+A and 1+2A, where A is a constant. Thus: ##EQU5##
The positive root has a value about 0.29.
If the three resistors have values R, (1+0.29)R and (1+2�0.29)R, the parallel combinations will have four values which differ from one another by about 0.29R (as a sub-range of the section trim range). These four values are:
(There are other possible values from the available parallel combinations, but these do not provide equal sub-ranges and are not further considered here.)
This three-resistor section could be one of three similar series-connected sections. If the parallel combination of 1, 1+A and 1+2A is defined as P, the lowest resistance multiplier the first section can have, the largest value the section can have is 2AR, or 1.58R (which would be 2ΔR1 in the terminology used with FIG. 2). Adding in the range of the remainder must result in RT, the desired total trim range:
This will give the values for the resistors in the first section. The resistors in the second and third sections will be in the same ratios as the first, to give the desired increments, but scaled down to give the correct range for interpolating the preceding sections. The scale factor will be: ##EQU6##
Thus, the second section resistors are the same as in the first section except multiplied by "m". Similarly, the third section resistors should be the same as the first section except multiplied by "m2 ". Calculating values for such a network having three-resistor sections: ##EQU7##
The final set of resistor values are (rounded off):
______________________________________1st Section: 11.7K 15K, 18.4K2nd Section: 2.3K 3K, 3.7K3rd Section: 464 ohms 599 ohms 733 ohmsRFT : 6.74K to 8K______________________________________
For some applications, it may be desirable to use multiple sections which have different numbers of resistors, with each however providing equal sub-ranges as described. Such a network is shown in FIG. 4.
Although several preferred embodiments of the invention have been disclosed herein in detail, it is to be understood that this is for the purpose of illustrating the invention, and should not be construed as necessarily limiting the scope of the invention since it is apparent that many changes can be made by those skilled in the art while still practicing the invention claimed herein.

NEW YORK -- Three members of the Team USA coaching staff weighed in Tuesday on the Knicks' controversial hiring of Isiah Thomas as a consultant, with Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim saying it crossed a line that shouldn't be crossed.
"If it's good one place, then it's good anywhere," Boeheim said after the U.S. men's national team scrimmaged on the city's West Side in preparation for the upcoming FIBA World Championships in Turkey. "You throw all that out there, and it wouldn't be good. It doesn't make much sense to me. I just don't think it's a good thing."
Krzyzewski, head coach of the U.S. team that opened a week-long training camp in New York, was more measured in his opinions on the Knicks' decision to employ Thomas, a former team president and currently an NCAA head coach at Florida International. Saying Thomas is his friend, Krzyzewski stopped short of saying the arrangement was unseemly, but made it clear that it wasn't something he'd do.
But the coach with the largest crowd of reporters around him was the Knicks' Mike D'Antoni, a Team USA assistant who will not be traveling to Turkey as he treats a back problem. D'Antoni struggled to put a positive spin on the return of Thomas to the organization that ousted him after an embarrassing tenure as both team president and coach. Aside from the obvious conflict of interest -- and strong possibility that the hiring is a violation of NBA rules -- some have painted Thomas' return as a reflection of how Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan views the performance of D'Antoni and team president Donnie Walsh.
Several times during an interview session with reporters on the practice court at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, D'Antoni repeated that Thomas' vaguely defined role within the Knicks' hierarchy is "not my area." D'Antoni said he learned of the decision "like everybody else" -- in a news release distributed Friday by the Knicks.
"He is a Hall of Famer and he's one of the top 50 players in the game and he has a lot of credibility out there," D'Antoni said. "Donnie is very smart to be able to tap into him when he needs him, and if it's an advantage to the Knicks, we'll use it. That's about all there is. There's not a whole lot else to it."
Asked if the Knicks' attempt to bring Thomas back into the power structure from which he was ousted only two years ago reflected poorly on Walsh's standing with Dolan, D'Antoni said, "Donnie is running the show. He's made some unbelievable moves up til now and we've got a nice young team coming on. I hate all the hoopla on the other end, but we should be focused on the upcoming season. That's kind of what I'm focused on."
Dolan's decision to re-employ Thomas, according to sources, stemmed from the team's disappointing recruitment of top free agents this summer. After the team fell short in its pursuit of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade -- who united with Chris Bosh in Miami -- some elements within the organization became convinced that the team needed someone of Thomas' stature as a Hall of Fame player to close the deal with future free agents Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul or Tony Parker. Thomas, in fact, sold himself to Dolan as having played an important role in the Knicks' signing of Amar'e Stoudemire and also secured an 11th-hour meeting with James' representatives in a failed attempt to steer him to the Knicks.
But even if the Knicks attempted to narrowly define Thomas' role simply as a free-agent recruiter, sources have told CBSSports.com that the arrangement will nonetheless have a difficult time withstanding the test of the NBA rulebook. The league's constitution and by-laws explicitly forbid any NBA coach, scout, executive or consultant from having contact with draft-ineligible players -- an obvious requirement of an NCAA coach's job. League officials and lawyers are in the process of reviewing the legality of Thomas' hiring.
Boeheim, whose Syracuse team famously lost the 1987 NCAA championship game to Thomas' alma mater, Indiana, on Keith Smart's game-winning shot, doesn't need lawyers to tell him the arrangement makes no sense.
"You would maybe understand it if it was a guy that was retired and had tremendous success in the NBA and won something -- anything," Boeheim said. "And somebody said, 'Well, why don't you just give us your sense of things.' I could see that. But I can't see this."

Polar Bear Blog – Last Call
April and May are a busy time for polar bears. Not only is it peak seal hunting conditions but its also time for bears to, well, get busy. By age four or five, females are sexually mature and ready to mate. As they go into estrous, they appear to leave a scent trail in their footsteps allowing male polar bears to track them. Preferably, the female 'allows' the male to court her and they mate over several days, often find a 'secluded' spot for their tryst. However, there is considerable competition for mates among the males … Continue Reading ››

While El Nino and La Nina have not really messed with the bears since the 1990s, we have a new weather phenomena poking its nose into the arctic. The 'North Pacific Mode' seems to be responsible for a 'warm blob' of water in the Pacific. This mode drives cold, wet air to eastern North America and keeps the west (and Yukon and Alaska) fairly warm and dry. This blob is not quite as influential as an El Nino but it … Continue Reading ››
Polar Bear Blog – Swimming Bears and Sea Ice
Okay, so its no Rimouski but a polar bear did show up at Hibernia drilling platform, just east of St. John's, Newfoundland. The bear was first spotted by the supply vessel, Atlantic Merlin, with varying reports of either one or possibly two bears (mother and yearling). These support vessels are sometimes tasked with towing icebergs away from the platform in spring. This is the southern extent of the Davis Strait bears' range, and depending how you look at it, either not too far or pretty far from the sea ice. The ice edge is around average … Continue Reading ››
Polar Bear Blog – Cub Season
Well, another cub season is just about wrapped up along Hudson Bay and this one seems to show positive results. During my week at Watchee Lodge, the guides were saying that all of the family groups that they have worked with this year are twin cubs as opposed to past years where it is a bit of a mixed bag. However, tracks of a mother with single cub passed through but a family of triplets were also tracked. Several bears broke out of their den and headed straight out on the ice before any of … Continue Reading ››
Polar Bear Blog – Polar Bear Update
Well, the jet stream dipped pretty far south again this year so this seems to bode well for Hudson Bay and Davis Strait Bears. Mothers with cubs were reported emerging from the dens in the first week of Watchee Lodge's operations in Wapusk National Park. There seems to be a fair amount of movement and it looks like cub season may be a week ahead of schedule... much like freezeup was this fall. Last 'bear season', we encountered a lot of mothers and cubs and most looked pretty healthy, so there is a fair bit of … Continue Reading ››
Polar Bear Blog – Gobama! The Importance of ANWR
Since President Obama announced expanded protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and a Protected Marine Area in Alaska, there has been a fair bit of discussion about how this affect polar bears, if at all. I would say that those 'crowing' about this decision are absolutely right to do so. This is a very important move for Alaska's polar bears. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is extremely important for the Southern Beaufort polar bear population, especially the pregnant females - obviously critical animals for any population. The vast majority of terrestrial dens occur within … Continue Reading ››
