Middle East History Lecture Series Presents: "Shah-Rah or the King's Road: Reinterpreting the European travel writings of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar," a lecture by Naghmeh Sohrabi
Mon, October 8, 2012 • 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM • SAC 2.120
The Middle East History Lecture Series Presents:
"Shah-Rah or the King's Road: Reinterpreting the European travel writings of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar"
A talk by and discussion with
Dr. Nagmeh Sohrabi (Brandeis)
Nasir al-Din Shah (r. 1848-1896), the longest reigning Qajar monarch traveled to Europe three times during his rule. While he was not the first monarch from the region to travel to Europe, he was the first to record each travel extensively in daily diaries that were made public shortly after. Until recently, these travelogues were dismissed by scholars for focusing on frivolous and repetitive information. This talk presents a new interpretation of Nasir al-Din Shah's extensive travel writing by placing them in their own cultural and political milieu, and by focusing on the question of why the king would choose to so meticulously record his travels.
Naghmeh Sohrabi is the Charles (Corky) Goodman Professor of Middle East History and the Associate Director for Research at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis. Professor Sohrabi received her Ph.D. in History and Middle East Studies from Harvard University in 2005, and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Crown Center from 2005-2007. Her book, Taken for Wonder: Nineteenth Century Travel Accounts from Iran to Europe was recently published by Oxford University Press. Her new research focuses on the assassination of Nasir al-Din Shah in 1896 by a follower of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani. In addition to her scholarship on the nineteenth century, Professor Sohrabi writes and lectures on contemporary politics and culture of Iran.

The Dr of the NFL's Fearless Forecast
AFC Championship Game-New England @ Denver
Is there some sort of immutable law that states that if, in the pre-season, you pick a team to go to the Super Bowl, that you are not allowed to pick against them in the championship game? If so, I'm in a difficult spot. Before the year began, my prognostication was a Patriots-Seahawks Super Bowl, more on Seattle shortly, but I'm leaning against Brady and company today. Here's why. Too much is being made about last week when New England ran over Indianapolis. As we pointed out, Indy couldn't stop the run all year, so let's make LeGarrett Blount out to be Jim Brown just yet. The Broncos run defense has been stout all year [ranked 7th in NFL] and they will provide much more resistance than the Colts did. Look for Brady to come out throwing in this game vs. a porous Broncos secondary that just lost its' best corner in Chris Harris and is without their best pass rusher in Von Miller. I fully expect the Pats to consistently move the ball and Brady to amass at least 350 yards passing.
Bill Bellichick has a conundrum in this match up vs. Peyton, if he stacks his chips to stop Denver's running game, Manning will devour his secondary, and if he stays in a cover 2 to prevent the big play, Peyton will audible into a run and Knowshon Moreno and company will run up and down the field on a terrible Patriot run defense [ranked 30th in NFL]. People forget that because the Colts couldn't take advantage of it because they were a poor running team, Denver will.
In what promises to be a high scoring shootout, TD's over FG's will be the difference. Which team will convert in the Red Zone? Peyton completed 72% of his Red Zone passes and threw 37 red zone TD's with zero INT's during the regular season, look for that trend to continue. In addition, New England will be playing a road playoff game for the first time in 7 years. The Patriots are 1-5 vs. the spread in their last 6 road contests, and are 0-5 vs the number in their last 5 games played on glass. Broncos advance to the Super Bowl.
Denver 37 New England 30.
NFC Championship Game-San Francisco @ Seattle
I've been going back and forth on this one all week. Seattle's been the best team all year but the 49ers are red hot and playing better right now. Home field is huge in this one but the 49ers front 7 vs. Seattle's erratic O-line can quiet things down. Russell Wilson concerns me, he's not played well the last 4 or 5 games and he'll be without Percy Harvin. But Colin Kaepernick has been awful in both games he's played in this building.
As good as Seattle's defense is, you can run it occasionally on them. The 49ers ran for 163 yards in week 14 win against Seattle, can Gore and company repeat this on the road? This is the key to the game, if Gore is producing, the 49ers can sneak out with a win, if not, Seattle will pressure Kaepernick, contain his rushing lanes, and force him into mistakes. Much has been made of the 49ers resurgence on offense since the return of Michael Crabtree, but Richard Sherman will effectively eliminate him and Vernon Davis will have his hands full with Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas who are the best Safety tandem in the league.
I think San Francisco must get off to a healthy start to take the crowd out of it, otherwise things could snowball. Kaepernick completes just 54% of his passes when he's trailing. Their offense is built for long drives, not short ones. This is why Gore is the key to the game, by establishing the run and sending a physical message, it could set the 49ers up for the upset. We all know that Seattle is near invincible at home but San Francisco is better equipped than any other team to pull this off.
So who wins? In a game that promises to be a tight, low scoring affair, I think it's Seattle's year. I trust Russell Wilson more in this spot not to make a critical error than I do Kaepernick. If both teams struggle to run it, which I expect, it gets to which QB will avoid the big mistake. No defense is better than Seattle's at stopping the opposing QB, with the combination of pass rush and coverage ability. Look for Seattle's secondary to get the best of Kaepernick and with the homefield to back them, Seattle returns to the Super Bowl.
Seattle 19 San Francisco 13
I have a conundrum when looking into the crystal ball for the game today. I've have a pretty good record in the postseason this year going 8-2 thus far. Anyone who listens knows that I'm big into the individual physical matchups as I examine games. This is where my problem arises with respect to todays tilt.
Historically, I will choose who I feel is the better more talented team. The 49ers have obviously been that. If you look at both teams regular seasons, S.F. has been the superior and more consistent group.They should win, and quite possibly win decisively. Yet every fiber of my being tells me that the Ravens will find a way to win. This is really difficult for me because I roll my eyes when I hear someone say, " I have a feeling that x team will win". Don't give me feelings, give me facts!
It's hard to explain, call it belief, confidence or momentum, but to me, the Ravens have " it" this year. Whatever "it" is. The Giants had it last year, the Colts had it in 2006, the Steelers had it in 2005. Those are all teams that won despite not fielding their best teams. It just seemed that it was their year. That is the sense I get with this years Ravens club. Not their most talented club, last years team was better, but their collective spirit this year seems indomitable.
I believe it's a Raven year, maybe a big play from Paul Kruger, Haloti Ngata or Anquan Boldin. The 49ers were the better team all year, but the Ravens are playing the best right now. Final Score Ravens 23 49ers 20

Full detailed profile on Marian Colby Chandler Played by Jennifer Bassey on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Jennifer Bassey (Jennifer Bassey)
Birthday: July 22, 1942
Marian cries as she reunites with Stuart at the hospital. Scott looks on and then tells his dad he loves him. He leaves them alone, as Stuart calls Marian his Queen of Hearts and kisses her.
Scott runs to another room in the hospital and finds Marian. He tells her Stuart is alive.
After hearing about a fire at Oak Haven, Bianca and Kendall start to head out, but are stopped by Erica who is at the door. They think they should take her back, but Erica won't go. She's not insane and did not set the fire. She knows who did though. Bianca carefully asks if it was Jane. Exasperated, Erica says no and then calls for Janet to come in. Erica begs her stunned daughters to help them and the others. Janet says she'll go to the park and bring the other ladies back. Later, Marian and Dixie come to the door, shocking Kendall and Bianca. Marian relays that Janet is at the hospital because she had injuries resulting from the fire. Kendall and Bianca realize Erica's kidnapping story isn't so farfetched if Dixie can be back from the dead. Erica pulls her girls aside and tells them she thinks Dixie was held at the same place she was. Marian tries to explain to Kendall why she tired to shoot her after Stuart died. Kendall understands because she felt the same way after Zach's death. Kendall relays how she tried to kill David, which Dixie hears, making her run off.
Janet leads the ladies in a yoga session at Oak Haven. A new patient is announced and a crazy acting Opal walks in. The women don't believe she's crazy, except for Janet who thinks it was just a matter of time before she joined them there. Yoga gets broken up and Erica privately asks what Opal is doing there. She responds that she's breaking her out. Erica embraces Opal when she expresses her belief in the look-a-like story. Annie secretly watches from the doorway. Erica tells Opal she can't stay in the Downward Facing Death Squad any longer. Opal is prepared to get her out of there. Annie reveals herself and demands they take her with them or else she will tell.
Tad shows up at Oak Haven and waits in the hallway outside Dixie's room, as Opal is cleared for release. Dixie's eyes open wide, as Marian passes by and excitedly embraces Tad, assuming he's come for her. Tad corrects her saying he's there for Opal and he can't take her home. She kisses him and urges him to do it for old times' sake. She thanks him for rescuing her and runs off to pack. As Dixie walks towards her door, Tad is drawn closer to it from the other side until he hears the women yelling from down the hall.
As Annie tries to convince Erica and Opal in the yoga room to take her with them, Janet and Marian return. The women get into a debate about who's leaving and who should stay. Tad finds the women arguing and drags his mother away. Erica and Annie get into it and Annie falls. She accuses Erica of breaking her arm and the staff takes Erica to isolation.
As Janet excitedly shows Erica around Oak Haven, they run into Marian and Annie. Annie and Erica snipe at each other, as Janet tries to make peace. Janet asks about Amanda and Trevor, but Erica tells them she's been in captivity so she doesn't know what's going on. After Erica separates herself from the group, Marian talks with her privately. Erica says she isn't scared about being there, she just wants Jack to come to his senses about her. A staff member rounds up the gals to take them for their exercise, but tells Erica she needs to stay put. Once alone, Jack walks in much to Erica's relief. She wonders if he believes her. He wants to, more than anything, but her story is pretty wild. She promises him she is telling the truth. He thinks there has to be proof out there. She fills him in on everything she knows and Jack realizes she is telling the truth. She thanks him for not giving up on her. They embrace as Dixie walks by and sees them.
Scott finds Marissa in the mansion and tries to convince her to move out. Marissa refuses, but questions him when he brings up Bianca. JR returns as Marissa admits she's too scared to admit what she wants. She then leaves to find Bianca. Scott and JR argue. Later, JR returns to the house with a bottle of booze. AJ finds his dad and tells him how happy he is that he and his mom are back together. JR hugs his son and then pours out the liquor.
Scott returns to the mansion and announces to Marissa and JR that he will rebuild the gatehouse. Marissa offers to help with the permits as his lawyer.
Scott takes Annie home and she gloats over her perfect ring. Scott knows Annie has real feelings for him, but thinks she has unfinished business with JR. Annie insists it is over, and Scott claims he believes her because he is her future and the man who will give her everything she ever wanted and more. She promises to spend her life making him proud. As they dance, an annoyed JR walks by. A hurt Marissa watches from the stairs and sees the anguish on JR's face.

emerald, count me in on the bet, just tell me how much? I like the odds and could use the extra cash to make up for my suspension Cliff gave me over the holidays. And, don't worry about picking yourself off the floor or selling your house in the most violent city in America, I'm not even a little bit interested in the chief's job. I'm hoping he's going to be here awhile longer anyhow.
I'll say it again porky: if you or anyone else has any evidence of me being "dirty", I will reward you with $10000 and turn myself in. The problem is your a coward, and do nothing but hide behind your keyboard in anonymity. Your a real class act.
I appreciate the support and nice comments, I will "keep up the fight", I promise. Happy New Year!
blue beard:
Cochrane would be a step down from the current legal team I have assembled. I assure you, it would be a waste of someones cash. I don't like fictional movies anyhow, and I dislike cowardly threats even more.
I try and be as effective as I can as a union representative, and if there is a need for ranting, I will do that when I belive the cause is right. I do hope that some people appreciate that trait in me. I do understand that trait can draw some lighting at times, I confess I wear my emotion on my sleeve sometimes but I just can't bring myself to apologize for that. Hopefully more people have benifited by it, than have been hurt by it. I'm always ready to "dig in" sir, and I agree the loser should pay the legal costs. To bad its the tax paying public on the hook for those costs.
Well jaflo, its never been about my job. I like my job as a police officer, and will leave on my terms when my career is completed. With that said, I have never been one to stand idle and ignore "wrongs". Given my role I think its my responsibilty to "blow the whistle" and make known things that have potential serious ramifications on not only the members of the SPD, but the tax paying public too. I have a position that makes me the point man sometimes, and I accept it and try to do the right thing. I actually feel like I'm catching my second wind and may remain on the job for for another 5-10 years, another department does not interest me in the least.
I'll say it once more, identify yourself and lay the evidence on us will you. Its way to easy to just hide and throw mud like you seem to enjoy.
Thanks "simonsidol", I'd be glad to represent you or your union if you were ever wronged or mis-treated by your employer. And dont worry, I can handle getting beat on, and I will never give up or fail to protect myself. I've worked to hard and have come to far to do that. As Chief Cliff mentioned in the news several weeks ago, the truth will come out, its just ashame that when they are using the tax payers money, city hall doesn't care what it costs to get to it. Braun Kendrick has got to love Saginaw City as a client with the amount of "everyone elses" cash they pay them. Maybe at some point resonable minds will intervene (like city council), one can only hope. I've always been willing to waive my right to any privacy for the sake of doing the right thing, thats why I don't use a screen name other than my own. Thanks again for your support.
tiscrap seems to fit for you. If your talking about me I never had a no parking sign in front of my house. And, I have never had a wet car seat. Where did you say I lived again? You might have the wrong bully, and the wrong cop.
porky....I'm ok with the names coming from people who don't even know me, but corrupt is an interesting one. Why not tell me what you are referring to, instead of hiding under some screen name and making allegations that I assure you you can't back up. It takes nothing more than a coward to levy a charge like that and then hide behind "porkysplace". C'mon man up and introduce yourself, if I can do it you should too.
I agree with you that it isn't fair to the tax-payers who end up paying the bills. But, that doesn't make my right to defend myself by any leagal means any less. Its the egos inside the city administration and the department heads that make it neccessary for people to protect themselves through legal means. If they were more resonable, many of the issues including mine could be resolved. But, it is time the public is made aware of issues that could impact them, and hopefully some good will come of this. I know I have come to far and have to much to lose not to protect myself from this personal attack and retaliation for doing the right thing. I do understand your point though, and hope resonable minds might still prevail, but until they do I plan on doing whats right.
Interesting take on the story, do you know something I don't? How do you figure they've been defamed? I welcome the investigation, and really hope that the Chief is right when he said the truth will come out. This is not an issue I am going to hide from, hence the use of my real name.
I'll take that bet, if its not a conflict of interest...ha!

Semper Fi: Vietnam: From Da Nang to the DMZ, Marine Corps Campaigns, 1965-1975
Item Description
From their early days in 1965 when the order of the day was to drive the insurgent Viet Cong from the villages around Da Nang to the final, dramatic evacuation of Saigon ten years later, Semper Fi—Vietnam relates the whole gutsy, glorious saga of the Marines in Vietnam in stark, riveting detail.
Acclimating to their strange new surroundings occupied the Marines' first few weeks in South Vietnam. . . . Throughout the day, peasants dressed in pajama-like clothing and sporting conical hats worked the paddies behind the heaving water buffalo. . . .
If daytime scenes appeared bucolic, the arrival of sunset quickly changed that perception. Gunfire and explosions erupted at dusk. Marines nervously watched bright tracers cut colorful swaths across the night sky. From distant bamboo thickets, mortar shells flew skyward to crash in the paddies. The Marines were learning that the war in South Vietnam was unlike anything for which they'd been trained.
From the Paperback edition.

The Dos and Don'ts of Being Friends With Men
The Dos and Don'ts of Being Friends With MenSEE MORE
DO question your feelingsAsk yourself this question, says Gen, 31: "Do I feel about this guy the way I feel about my brother? Or do I feel about him the way I feel about my brother's best friend from the 11th grade? If it's the latter, then you don't want to be his friend—you want to sleep with him."
DON'T have sex with him.Making out is generally a bad idea too. We know you know this one, but it's the easiest ground rule to forget when you're tipsy/lonely/been watching too many romantic comedies. Learn from Leslie, 27, who says, "Every guy friend I've ever had I have ended up hooking up with or had a weird sexual encounter that I'd like to forget. It never makes the friendship closer. Ever."
DO give it lots of time if you once dated."You can be friends with an ex, but you need distance—and not a few weeks; I'm talking at least a year," says Kristin, 24. "And you can't fool around with him one night when you're horny just because it won't add to your number."
DON'T think you have to like beer or football.But…DO accept that "you'll have to either learn to deal with both or accept the fact that you may get ditched or ignored if both are present," says Christine, 25.
DON'T pretend to be one of the boys.Act like yourself. Says Lauren, 34: "Guys can see through it, and they like to have friends of the opposite sex for the same reason we do—the perspective and advice you can give on what gifts they should buy their girlfriends and how to get a girl's number."
DO realize that all rules are meant to be broken."I have lots of guy friends," says Karen, 22. "But I'm also a hopeless romantic. I fall in love every day! So I've had a serious crush on each and every male friend and it's never been a problem."

An Intimate Look Into George Harrison's Life
Posted: October 13, 2011
It was a grand event Tuesday night at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, as the venue's newest exhibition "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" was unveiled to a VIP crowd.
Offering a rare look into the prolific musician's life – both public and private – the exhibition features items as iconic as his Gretsch Duo Jet guitar to notebooks and clothing, such as the cream-colored Nudie Cohn suit he wore at the Concert for Bangladesh, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"Fans have been wanting to see these things," Olivia Harrison, George's widow, told the Times. "The guitars are beautiful, and I know they should be seen and shared. George always said that instruments should be played. When he came across somebody who had collected a thousand instruments, he thought it was wrong that they were kept locked away in a warehouse somewhere.
"Maybe one day we'll be able to have it where people can actually pick up and play some of them."
Those in attendance included former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, Doors drummer John Densmore and former Traveling Wilburys bandmate Jeff Lynn, according to the Times.
Harrison once referred to the Duo Jet as his "first real decent guitar," and it was used on The Beatles' Please Please Me album, along with his 1987 solo album, Cloud Nine.
In July, Gretsch released the G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet, which mirrored the black-and-white beauty. Gretsch also put out a limited edition run of 60 Tribute Duo Jets in January that burrowed down to the most-miniscule detail.
Here's a video of Harrison's Duo Jet Tribute guitar:
Unfortunately, all instruments at the exhibit are behind Plexiglas, which prohibit attendees from playing them, but there are interactive aspects of the exhibit, including the ability to play producer with parts of his 1973 song "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)."
The show runs through Feb. 12, 2012 in Los Angeles.

Google has stepped up its authentication process for Google Apps by announcing plans to add a second verification factor to be sent to users' mobile devices.
Similar to Australian banking services, which have opted for SMS-issued one time passwords over security tokens, Google Apps customers will receive a verification code via SMS, voice calls or an Android, BlackBerry or iPhone application.
"It requires two means of identification to sign in to a Google Apps account, something you know: a password, and something you have: a mobile phone," Eran Feigenbaum, Google Apps director of security explained on the company's blog.
Google had previously only supported third-party provided two-factor authentication since 2006 via the SAML Single Sign On protocol.
The new service would be activated and managed by a company's Google Apps administrator.
Users could also indicate that a particular machine they have used was not considered trustworthy and cancel it from requesting verification codes in future.
Google said the service would be made available on standard edition Google services, such as Gmail, in the months ahead.

Asparagales, the asparagus or orchid order of monocotyledonous flowering plants, containing 16–24 families, 1,122 genera, and more than 26,000 species.
Asparagales contains many garden plants and several types of bulbs and cut flowers that are commercially important. The most notable plants in temperate gardens include the spring-flowering Crocus and Hyacinthus and thousands of different cultivars of the summer-flowering Hemerocallis (daylily), which has edible buds used in many East Asian recipes. Also important are Amaryllis, Hippeastrum, and Narcissus. Aloe, a tropical African genera with elongate, succulent (fleshy) leaves, is a favoured houseplant and is used medicinally. Other plants with edible parts include onion (Allium cepa), garlic (A. sativum), and their relatives the leek (A. ampeloprasum) and shallot (A. cepa). Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) is prized as a vegetable. The flavouring vanilla is an extract of the fruit of the Vanilla orchid (although most vanilla flavouring is now synthetically produced). Saffron is a spice obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus.
Agave includes some of the largest members of Asparagales; the flower stalk of the century plant (A. americana) may reach 6 metres (20 feet) in height. These slow-growing plants flower once and die. Several species of Agave, notably A. sisalana, are cultivated for henequen and sisal fibres derived from their leaves. The bulky, asparagus-like inflorescences (flower cluster) of plantation-grown plants in Mexico yield a rich juice that is fermented to produce pulque, mescal (mezcal), and tequila.
Many yuccas are small plants, but the Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) typically attains a height greater than 10 metres (nearly 33 feet) in California. Several other genera of this family are treelike. Yuccas contain saponins, compounds that foam when mixed with water; they are one of the original sources of natural detergents.
Few groups of angiosperms are in such taxonomic ferment as Asparagales. Beginning in the 1980s, significant rearrangements were made by the Swedish botanist Rolf Dahlgren and his colleagues to the genera and families that were formerly recognized in the subclass Liliidae in the Cronquist botanical classification system. Under the reorganization, families such as Philydraceae, Pontederiaceae, Haemodoraceae, and Velloziaceae have been excluded and the remaining taxa have been realigned into three substantially different orders: Dioscoreales (the yam order), Liliales (the lily order), and Asparagales.
Within Asparagales, two major groups of families are now recognized, based primarily on molecular evidence but also on patterns of pollen development. The "lower Asparagales" include Orchidaceae (the orchid family, with more than 22,000 species in nearly 1,000 genera), Asteliaceae (the silver spear family, with 36 species in 2–4 genera), Hypoxidaceae (the star lily family, with 100–220 species in 7–9 genera), Iridaceae (the iris family, with more than 1,500 species in some 80 genera), Hemerocallidaceae (the daylily family [which includes the former family Anthericaceae], with 85 species in 19 genera), Asphodelaceae (the aloe family, with 785 species in 15 genera), and Xanthorrhoeaceae (the grass tree family, with 30 species in 1 genus), plus a number of small families (e.g., Blandfordiaceae, Lanariaceae, Boryaceae, Ixioliriaceae, Tecophilaeaceae, Doryanthaceae, and Xeronemataceae).
The "higher Asparagales" are a natural group made up of 10 families, including Asparagaceae (the asparagus family, with 165–295 species in 2 genera), Ruscaceae (the lily of the valley family, 475 species in 26–28 genera), Hyacinthaceae (the grape hyacinth family, with 770–1,000 species in 41–70 genera), Agavaceae (the agave family, with 637 species in 23 genera), Laxmanniaceae (the cabbage tree family, with 178 species in 14–15 genera), Alliaceae (the onion and garlic family, with 795 species in 13 genera), and Amaryllidaceae (the daffodil family, with at least 800 species in 59 genera).
To a large extent, many of the families in Asparagales are defined primarily by DNA characters, and unique morphological characters are not obvious within families. For this reason, it is often difficult to identify the family into which a genus should be placed without laboratory analysis. However, as molecular evidence accumulates for distinguishing families and relationships within Asparagales, additional and new morphological features are being identified for recognizing these taxa.

text: I got a PM about laundry and tracked down an answer that should be helpful to all. Spoke with the GM of the Courtyard by Marriott, the companion hotel of the Marriott today. (Most states will be at the Marriott, I think three states are in the Courtyard, right across the road - South Carolina is one at the Courtyard). He indicated that they have two coin operated washers and dryers, detergent is complimentary. These will be fully stocked as they have been warned of the amount of use they will be getting over the next week. IF there is such high demand that people can't use them they do have another washer they use for linens that they can potentially open up. I'm also going to check with the Fairfield Inn, which is right across the main road, and see if we can use their washer and dryer too, should we need to. They should have quarters but I would bring some just to be on the safe side.

A 21-year-old woman was killed after crashing into the back of garbage truck early Saturday morning in Sante Fe, authorities said.
The incident occurred in the 2900 block of FM 646, near 4 ½ Street around 7:56 a.m. Police said the driver of the 1997 Ford truck, identified as Brandy Medlock, rear-ended the Ameri garbage truck.
Authorities believe Medlock, who was driving home after working a 12-hour night shift, fell asleep before the crash. She died at the scene.
The driver and the attendants on the garbage truck were not injured.
No further information was immediately available.

Recipe by LNDYLU2
"This is a nice change of pace from the usual meatloaf."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground chicken
1 1/2 cups
bread crumbs
3 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
Ranch-style salad dressing
1 (1.25 ounce) package
taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
sour cream
You have to try it this way...even though I forgot the eggs, I substituted the bread crumbs for corn tortillas I chopped in the food processor (it equals the same amount of calories as the bread crumbs), and I even omitted the cheese to save on fat and calories. I topped it w/ thinly sliced onions and salsa for the last 15 minutes. This tasted like an enchilada w/out all of the fat and calories. I also used my own blend of spices w/ no salt...salsa has plenty of salt in it already. I know I changed this recipe around, but thanks for the idea...it will definately be cooked in my house again!
This was a good lean meal. I made mine with egg beaters and home made bread crumbs. I used pineapple salsa and it was good. I am going to use more salsa next though.

We loved this recipe! I did make a few changes based on the some of the reviews. I added an extra tablespoon of both salsa and ranch dressing. I accidently added the cheese in with the meat mixture, so I added an additional 1/2 cup to the top during the last 15 minutes of cooking, and then broiled it a few minutes to brown it. Also made my own bread crumbs with 2 pieces of toast. Very moist and great flavor! Will make again the same way!
This meatloaf was wonderful. My picky eaters devoured the whole thing. After reading the other comments I didn't put all the breadcrumbs in and it was very moist.
My husband and I loved this recipe! I did a bunch of adjustments though. I used 1.3lb ground turkey (99% fat free). I added 3 tbsp of salsa since I figured the lean turkey would be dry. Then I added only 1c plain breadcrumbs and ~1/4c rolled oat. I did follow the other suggestions and added only 1/2 packet of taco seaoning, added some thawed corn and also 1/2c cheese inside as well. My husband isn't big on onions, so I put in some onion powder instead. It had tons of flavor and was very moist. My husband is picky, but loved it! I will definitely make this again. I don't eat beef, so this is a great alternative for my family!
This was very easy and was good. I added chopped onion and used sour cream instead of dressing. I also used 2 pounds of chicken and increased the ingredients accordingly. There was a lot for leftovers. It is great re-heated!
This was yummy, even my 5 year old ate a big slice and he's very picky. I had no taco seaoning packet so I used about two tablespoons of some southwest seasoning I had. I also cut down on the bread crumbs by a 1/4 cup or so. This was really tasty and I will definitely make again.
Do try this! I used ground turkey, but I'm sure it's just as good with the ground chicken. Also, I used fajita seasoning because that is what I had on hand. My hubby declared it was just like his mom's real meatloaf, and was shocked to hear there was Ranch and fajita seasoning in it. He practically didn't believe me because it just didn't have a ranch/mexi taste. This is easy to prepare and so tasty. Thanks!

What an amazing evening! The 2012 edition of VH1 DIVAS was chock full of unforgettable moments, ones that you can fortunately watch over-and-over again thanks to the miracle of streaming video. However, for all the show-stopping performances that you saw on VH1 tonight during the broadcast, there were a plethora of precious moments you weren't privy to that happened backstage and off-camera. To that end, we had some VH1 insiders strategically placed all around the Shrine Auditorium tonight keeping their eyes, ears and camera lenses open all night long for those special moments that our TV cameras weren't able to capture. And, seeing that it's the holidays and all, the giving spirit is coursing through our veins and we thought we'd share some of the highlights with you.
So now, without further ado, here are the Top 16 Things That You Didn't See On TV During VH1 DIVAS:
1. American Idol alumnus Adam Lambert ran out to greet the original Idol, Kelly Clarkson, and the two shared a warm hug just minutes before show time backstage. Adam did a little turn showing off his duds.
2. Speaking of the newly engaged Kelly Clarkson, she showed off her sparkly yellow canary diamond ring to a friend a few moments before she performed "Catch My Breath." We overheard her saying "He did so good, didn't he?" and "I was freaking out when he went down on one knee and all." A clearly emotional Kelly also admitted on her way off-stage that "I can't believe I almost totally cried on television!"

Routine medical TDY/TAD costs for transportation, lodging, per diem, etc. are covered under the Joint Federal Travel Regulations. Each service has implemented medical TDY/TAD processing overseas in a separate manner. For guidance on how each service processes medical TDY/TAD, please contact the service representatives at the numbers listed below:
The TPMRC is a one-stop shop for integrating patient movement requirements. Their primary mission is to coordinate and communicate patient movement requirements to service components. The service components, in turn, execute the patient movement missions within EUCOM and CENTCOM. The TPMRC provides clinical validation, medical regulating (matching patients to beds), and coordinates patient movement requirements by the most appropriate and efficient means of transportation.
The TPMRC at Ramstein AB, Germany works closely with International SOS on all patient movement requests including exercising the
"Right of First Refusal" on all emergent movement requests. TMPRC also assists patients who may require transfer to a military treatment
International SOS will determine if local medical care is available and acceptable. Once it is determined that a service member requires aeromedical evacuation, the attending physician coordinate this request with TPMRC. International SOS coordinates will also need to obtain and coordinate an accepting physician at your destination. For service members sent to Germany, the telephone number for Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Emergency Department is DSN 486-8160/8414 or commercial +49 (0) 6371-86-8160/8414.
The TPMRC is co-located with the 86th Aero medical Evacuation Squadron at Ramstein AB, Germany, and has staff on duty and on-call 24-hours a day. Considering the time-critical nature of many requests for medical transport, we recommend contacting the TPMRC via telephone. Once the TPMRC receives an aero medical evacuation request, an on-call Flight Surgeon will assess the evacuation request and assign one of the following categories of patient movement:
There are two important things to keep in mind when requesting TPMRC support:
For urgent, priority and routine patient movement, contact the TPMRC at:
Patients who require an emergency evacuation, should contact International SOS as soon as possible. International SOS will first contact the Theater Patient Movement Requirement Center (TPMRC/EUCOM) or the Joint Theater Patient Movement Requirement Center (JPMRC/CENTCOM) to check for US military aircraft availability. TPMRC/JPMRC will either accept the mission or decline based on aircraft availability. If TPMRC/JPMRC declines the mission, International SOS will be contracted to provide the emergent evacuation service.
On October 1, 2013, the Department of Defense established the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to manage the activities of the Military Health System. These activities include those previously managed by TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), which was disestablished on the same date. During the next several months, all TMA websites will change to reflect the new DHA. We appreciate your patience during this transition."

"…breaking up a complex, dysfunctional country into more manageable units is actually OKAY. It doesn't mean that you hate others. It doesn't mean that you will not be your neighbor's keeper. It doesn't mean that you will not patronize their beef and carrots, or sell them access to the ocean if need be. It doesn't even mean that your outlook is parochial and provincial…"- Ogbonna
"Why not a true federalism in which the more manageable units are the natural ones each of which has independent past, and can work for a glorious future in an arrangement free of the predator/prey mentality."
-Dr. Adeboye
"…there are core natural units in Nigeria called Anga, Edo, Fulani, Hausa, Gwari, Ibibio, Igbo, Ijaw, Kanuri, Nupe, Yoruba, etc. Are you denying that fact? What data do you have that says that they did not occur in their present location...?-Dr. Adeboye
"…I think the strategic possibility for a new generation is to rebuild the progressive nationalist network that has been supressed by the fascist politics and rhetoric of radical difference over the years, as the new platform for national regeneration. Is it possible? Yes, it is..." Obi Nwakanma
Thanks to Mr. Dominic Ogbonna for bringing this subject up for debate and thanks to Mr. Adeboye and Mr. Nwakanma for joining. Please permit me to add a few words. I promise that I will be polite and not castigate any of you or others joining in the debate for their positions or call their ethnic groups names as some have started to do.
Mr. Ogbonna introduced the more manageable units concept into the discussion for which he received a "high five" from Mr. Adeboye. I was initially at a loss by what he meant until Mr. Adeboye wrote the second and third quoted paragraphs above. I am inclined to think that manageable units' (relying on Adeboye's example) means ethnic units of which we have possibly 300 of them. If so I see major problems with the concept. Mr. Nwakanma has pointed out some of them and there are more:
- The sheer number of manageable units (perhaps over 300) some numbering just tens of thousands
- Establishing the boundaries (as Nwakanma pointed out)
- The mechanism for dividing the existing resource to the over 300 units
- The ability of some very small units to function or even enter into a credible negotiation with the much larger, and stronger units such as Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa. Ability as used here includes human and material resources.
- There are more but let us stop here.
There is no doubt that a person who follows the recent developments in Nigeria would be seriously tempted to see things the way Ogbonna and Adeboye see them. The cries of marginalization; the levels of looting; the bombings; the religious and ethnic strife's; the ideological and political disagreements; the incivility; etc; would make the call for dismemberment of Nigeria a timely call. It could be seen as timely because if we do not disengage peaceably we may do so after a dangerous conflagration.
A look at the challenges listed above suggests that while the disengagement looks attractive it could not be implemented. It will also not prevent the disastrous conflagration. In fact it could advance it. This leads me to Nwakanma's assertion "…I think the strategic possibility for a new generation is to rebuild the progressive nationalist network that has been supressed by the fascist politics and rhetoric of radical difference over the years, as the new platform for national regeneration. Is it possible? Yes, it is..." Obi Nwakanma as the more logical approach and the safer route on the long run. I will come back to this but let me digress a little to say that there is a question: what would happen in the interim before we reach the long term? It is a question for another day(?).
I come back to Nwakanma's assertion with a question: how does a new generation rebuild the progressive nationalist network that has been suppressed by the fascist politics and rhetoric of radical difference over the years? Nwakanma is silent on this. Will he give the suppressors a leave of absence while the rebuilding is taking place?
I posit that the rebuilding effort is already taking place imperceptibly.
- The worst advocates of fascist politics and radical differences are the old men and women in North, West and East.
- Listen to the Arewa Youth forum for example and you hear sensible suggestions. Their peers in the West and East sound similar themes in there writings. Here in Boston we have a Youth Forum where the kids meet and speak the same language as opposed to what one sees or reads when Val Ojo or Zubbie Ekwueme writes. Back in Nigeria we have not seen or read about wars in Youth Service Corps' dormitories or on campuses where they study and work. The youth who own the country want a one united country.
- There is increasing acceptance of our differences in religion and ethnicity. The concept of one north can be described as dead and buried just as the concept of Eastern Nigeria or Yoruba solidarity. People who knew Awo or Zik and their rivalry and promote it are now aging vice chancellors.
But the interim is still dangerous as long as the aging politicians of Buhari kind, of Clark kind and other kinds in the same mode are alive.
But time is not on their side.
Is it possible that the new platform for national regeneration can be built? Mr. Nwakanma says yes it is.
I concur
I might even add that there is no other way. A break up might look attractive on the surface but it will not solve any of the existing problems.
And even when it is fully implemented it would more likely create the condition most feared by Adeboye: a glorious future in an arrangement full of the predator/prey mentality. The big boys would quickly swallow the little ones and nobody would notice. The little ones have security now because enough of them can form a nucleus that offers them protection.
That is why Jonathan is in Aso rock and not Buhari or Nnamani or Tinubu.

Planning Guide: Developing Road Pricing Plans and Programs 41 impacts including environmental justice issues along with a public participation process in select- ing preferred alternatives. Environmental justice sometimes is the only substantive issue evaluated in environmental documents involving pricing projects. It involves conducting thorough analysis to show that disadvantaged populations, including low-income and minority communities, will not be disproportionately burdened by a road pricing scheme and that the project is the least dis- criminatory alternative. Experience has shown that it is important for state and local actors, includ- ing state DOTs, local leaders, MPOs, and congestion management agencies (CMAs), to collaborate in moving road pricing projects forward through the complex stages of project development and environmental review. 2.3 Analytic, Policy, and Success Considerations for Each Road Pricing Concept This section presents examples for all six road pricing concepts. Each example is followed by a table with information on: � Travel impacts � Revenues and finance � Equity � Environment � Policy and institutional requirements � Popular reasons for attention to the concept � Promising recent developments bearing on acceptability and success Exhibits in the rest of this section have been developed through interviews with regional and state actors active in road pricing development, a review of plans and studies collected as part of the interviews, and a review of literature related to each of the road pricing concepts. The interview sites are listed at the beginning of Section 2.1. The exhibits incorporate not only findings from com- pleted studies but also the latest projections of travel and other impacts from ongoing studies gath- ered from respondents and agency sources. Part 2 contains the interview summaries with reference reports and website links for those interested in site sources. 2.3.1 Conversion of Existing HOV and Other Lanes to HOT Lanes This category of pricing introduces a new, more reliable travel option on congested corridors that have existing HOV lanes by converting the HOV lanes to HOT lanes. It also includes cases where shoulder lanes are converted to HOT lanes. HOV lanes are converted to HOT lanes usually to make better use of underused capacity or to alleviate HOV lane congestion. Either way, the objective is to gain more precise control over lane volumes than is possible using occupancy eligi- bility alone. In the case of congested HOV lanes, it may be necessary to reduce or eliminate free access to two-person carpools. Vehicles with single occupancy (or lower than required occupancy) can use the HOT lanes by paying a toll that varies with the level of congestion on the corridor and/or the time of day. Vehi- cles meeting the HOV occupancy requirements of the lane (typically 2+ or 3+ passenger occu- pancy) travel free of charge or at a discounted rate in most applications. The goal is to achieve optimum utilization of an existing HOV lane (whether under- or overused) or new HOT lane. HOT lanes ensure good level of service for HOV drivers, while allowing single-occupancy vehicles or vehicles with lower than required occupancy to enjoy the same level of service by paying a charge. HOT lanes can be developed with new or existing road capacity. Most early HOT lanes converted existing HOV lanes to HOT lanes and mostly on underused rather than overused HOV facilities. More recently, new HOT lanes and networks of lanes are receiving attention. Where developing

42 Road Pricing: Public Perceptions and Program Development additional roadway is not desirable or feasible, especially in highly developed and congested corri- dors, planners are giving new attention to converting shoulder lanes to HOT lanes providing a more reliable travel option compared to the general purpose lanes. Planners should be sensitive to occupancy requirements in cases of converting HOV lanes to HOT lanes, as well as whether the HOT will include general purpose lanes. For instance, the fol- lowing options can be expected to have differing usage and diversion potential, as well as accept- ability implications: � Conversion of HOV2+ lanes to HOT lanes � Conversion of HOT2+ to HOT3+ lanes � Conversion of an HOV2+ lane and a general purpose lane into a combined two-lane HOT facility The following projects have been implemented under this category: � I-15 "FasTrak" project in San Diego implemented in 1991, the earliest of all projects, with goals of better utilizing the HOV lanes and raising funds for expanded transit service. Initially 8 miles of reversible lanes were priced with tolls varying dynamically with the level of congestion (as often as every 6 minutes) in order to maintain free-flow traffic conditions. The charges were managed electronically and deducted from prepaid driver accounts recognized via in-vehicle transponders. The normal toll varies between 50 cents and $4, but during very congested peri- ods it can be as high as $8. The average price paid per trip typically has been under $3 and sel- dom goes above $4. The project's success has spurred an expansion project to add 20 additional miles in the I-15 corridor. � "QuickRide" HOT lane projects on I-10 (Katy Freeway) and US-290 (Northwest Freeway) in Houston, begun in 2000 and created to reduce heavy congestion on HOV lanes, in contrast to the San Diego project. Free access is restricted to vehicles with three or more people during peak periods. Two-person carpools can use the Katy Freeway lanes by paying a $2 per trip toll dur- ing peak hours, while single-occupant vehicles are prohibited. All transactions are completely automated. � HOT lanes on I-25 in Denver, begun in 2006 with preset pricing by time of day, with goals of increasing HOV lane utilization and generating revenues for general corridor improvements. � I-394 HOT lanes in Minneapolis (also known as MnPASS lanes), implemented in 2005 with objectives of increasing corridor capacity and throughput, improving utilization of HOV lanes, reducing congestion, creating a new travel option for solo drivers willing to pay a toll, and using excess revenues for improving highway facilities and transit service in the corridor. The project uses dynamic pricing on an 8-mile and 3-mile segment of I-394, with tolls varying as often as every 3 minutes depending on the levels of congestion. A HOT lane conversion project on I-35W is also currently under development in Minneapolis and southern suburbs, involving dynamic pricing on shoulder lanes on a 3-mile section near downtown Minneapolis. The pric- ing policy on that facility will mirror the policy on I-394 with a toll range of 25 cents per segment to a maximum of $8. � SR-167 HOT lanes in the Puget Sound region became operational in May 2008. The project includes 9 miles of non-barrier-separated express lanes in both directions. The toll varies with demand to ensure smooth traffic flow, with rates between 50 cents to $9. Carpools of two or more people, vanpools, buses, and motorcycles use the HOT lane toll free. � HOT lanes on I-95 in Miami�Dade County, also called "95 Express Lanes," opened in 2008 in the northbound direction as part of Phase 1. Southbound lanes opened for tolling in 2010. The project involves a variable-priced toll starting from 25 cents upwards, depending on the level of congestion, to encourage travel in less heavily traveled periods. It also offers a toll-free option for registered carpools (HOV3+), vanpools, transit and emergency vehicles, and registered hybrid vehicles.

Russell Brand might have some genius PR team that we don't know about, but the fact he's coming out of his divorce from Katy Perry looking like the sweetest man alive seems to be mostly him. "I was really, really in love with her, but it was difficult to see each other," Brand explained to Howard Stern today. "I don't want to be too glib … She'll read it and she'll be sad and I don't want that." Awww, this guy keeps it nice! Since we know how easy it is for celebs to get carried away on Stern (we never thought we'd know as much as we do about David Arquette and Courtney Cox's sex life, for example), we'd count Russell's sweet, protective comments one of the top five nicest things he's done since he and Katy announced their divorce last year. Check out the rest below; they are just so dreamy. Now we want to be divorced from Russell Brand! Please?
- Wait To Debut A New Lady Friend: The couple filed for divorce back in December; Russell didn't publicly debut a romance until the end of June, when he was spotted holding hands with Isabella Brewster, sister to Fast & Furious star Jordana. Considering he and Katy were married only a little over a year, this seems like the classiest of waiting periods.
- Hype Her On Ellen: "I was very happy to be married with her," Russell gushed back in May. "She's such a beautiful human being and I have only love and positivity for her." You know who watches Ellen? Moms. Once the nation's moms heard Russell say Katy was great even after they announced their split, the girl was golden. It doesn't hurt that Brand flanked himself with the Super Bass girls, either. It didn't hurt one bit.
- Texting Her Dad: Divorces are hard on everybody, including the parents. Russell understands, which is why he still keeps in touch with Katy's dad. "I just received a text from him the other day in fact. He is a wonderful and smart guy," Keith Hudson told Us Weekly. If your in-laws don't want to set fire to your lawn, that's an automatic nice credit.
- Not Taking Her Money: Kind of self-explanatory. Going to court over money is just so gauche.

Undercut 2013
The undercut cuts the sides and back of hair extra close, usually with clippers. You can wear an undercut with any length hair or hairstyle.
Slick Hair
Undercut hair is clean cut and cool at the same time. Style hair on top into one of this season's hairstyle trends, like this slicked across hair.
Undercut Hair
With the undercut, no side part is needed for the slick look. Go for trims every few weeks, depending on how fast hair grows, to maintain the defined shape.
Undercut Hairstyles
There are lots of possibilities with undercut hair. This version fades hair horizontally, with more thickness at the back than the sideburns.
Undercut with Spikes
Another way to wear undercut hair for men is around the sides but not the back. This makes for a cool profile especially with medium hair worn spiked up.
Undercut for Men
The undercut is a great option for thick hair. It makes styling hair a breeze - just slick it across, spike it up or wear it messy.
The undercut really works with every hairstyle or look. You can wear it clean cut and slick, spiky and tough or just plain.
The weather is finally heating up and it's a great time to consider getting an undercut for summer. It's a versatile look that makes looking great even faster for every hair type, especially thick, curly, or medium length.
Check out these undercut pictures for 7 different ways to get this hot mens hairstyle trend for 2013.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — During Tuesday night's meeting, Wilmington City Council members heard a presentation for the recommended $86.3 million general fund budget, which is $1 million more than last year's adopted budget.
The budget director recommends a three-cent tax increase, from 42 cents to 45 cents per $100 of value. The extra money would go toward a five-year capital improvement program, adding up to $41 million. It would help fund various public improvement projects, including streets, parks & recreation and public facilities.
The budget also calls for a two-percent pay increase for all city employees, with one percent deferred compensation at midyear.
City council will hold work sessions on the budget both on June 4 and June 6, with a public hearing in between on June 5. The budget must be adopted by June 30.

We all remember this brutally honest blog post, by Jennifer Meer, a contributor to the Huffington Post, called "Distracted Living". This West Hartford mother admits to responding to a "ping" on her computer and answering an email while her daughter was in the tub. When she returned to the bathroom, the little girl had fallen asleep and almost drowned. It struck a chord with all of us moms...because, we could understand. The tug of social media, email, constant calls and texts is around us everyday and is sometimes difficult to shut out...even when we're with our kids.
That's why this article from Real Simple Magazine - called "Tangled Up In Tech" - caught my eye. Psychologist Sherry Turkle, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), explains why we're so drawn to the screen...and how we can appropriately back away when necessary.
Give it a read...then, share how you "shut down".
Do you ignore email over weekends?
Put the phone away when you're with your kids?

IDW Publishing (The Comic home of 30 Days of Night, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Doctor Who and Star Trek) has announced today at SDCC that they have acquired the rights to produce new comics based on THE CROW series, as well as the right to reprint previous Crow comics.
"I'm glad to see The Crow land at IDW," said Ted Adams, IDW's co-founder and CEO . "I edited the last Crow series when I ran Todd McFarlane's comics in the late '90's, and we're looking forward to bringing this classic character back to the medium in 2012 at IDW."
The Crow, created by James O'Barr, first appeared in comics courtesy of Caliber Press in 1989. It is a dark fantasy series that tells the tale of vengeance. A crow resurrects those who have been murdered and can't rest peacefully because they have not received justice. The crow is a magical creature, imbuing the newly raised dead with the powers and abilities to get the revenge they were denied in life, serving as guide and totem.
The Crow was first adapted into a film in 1994 starring Brandon Lee (in his final role) as Eric Draven, a musician who is killed, along with his fiance by gang members. In the comic, they are killed randomly, when Eric's car breaks down on the side of the road. In the movie, they are killed by their slumlord's thugs for trying to organize their fellow tenants for improved conditions of their apartment building. In both cases the dying Draven is forced to watch as his fiance is brutally raped.
Lee was killed on set of the movie, in a freak accident involving a prop gun, but that didn't end the series. A total of four films have been made based on the various Crow comics, with other tortured souls brought back by the crow. A TV series, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven (which centered on the Eric Draven character) was also made which had a total of 22 episodes that were produced in 1998.
Like many of IDW's licensed comics there will be several series, based on both the original comics, and the upcoming feature film reboot. At this time, no specific titles have been named, no creative teams have been named and dates have been given beyond 2012 for any upcoming Crow comics.
IDW will also be repackaging the previous series from other publishers in collector's editions.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2005 Afghan citizens are helping coalition forces find caches of weapons and drugs, according to U.S. officials in Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan.
A cache turned into coalition forces by Afghans near Shkin on Jan. 10 consisted of four cans of armor-piercing ammunition, five 82 mm fuse heads, four mine fuses, three hand grenades, two rocket-propelled-grenade rounds, and a 72 mm recoilless rifle round.
Coalition forces near Naray recovered a second cache containing a recoilless rifle and two 82 mm mortars.
Officials in the Afghan capital of Kabul also announced that coalition forces medically evacuated three Afghan citizens after an anti-tank mine exploded near Shindand on Jan. 10.
Four Afghan men were en route to Shindand in a 2-ton "jingle truck," their version of a semi, when the explosion took place, killing the driver. The three passengers were injured and taken to Bagram for medical treatment.
Two patients are listed in guarded condition, while the third remains in stable condition.
On Jan. 9, coalition forces recovered two weapons caches and two drug caches. An Afghan citizen turned in one weapons cache, which contained seven 200-pound bombs of an unknown nomenclature, to the Afghan National Police near Lashkar Gah.
Coalition forces near Jalalabad recovered the second weapons cache. The cache contained two 75 mm rounds, nine 82 mm mortar tubes, three 14.5 mm machine guns, one BM-12 multiple-rocket launcher, two dishka machine guns, two 23 mm machine guns, one RPK machine gun, 2,500 14.5 mm rounds, and 11 82 mm rounds.
Afghan police also led coalition forces to a drug cache Jan. 9 containing 4.5 kilograms of opium and 2.25 kilograms of hashish near Jalalabad.
Local Afghan police confiscated another cache that day of 23 kilos of opium from a local civilian and reported it to coalition forces near Qalat.

Sotho Blue
Released: Apr 2011
Label: Sunnyside
There's a certain slyness in the stride of this collection of funky, meticulously arranged tunes from South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim. Everything here is a work of pristine taste and musical restraint: the short and concise choruses on "Calypso Minor," the melodic depth of backing flute lines on "The Mountain," the dense voicing of saxophones that opens "Nisa." This stellar collection borrows generously from '70s soul jazz and Gil Evans' school of harmony, and it's among 2011's best jazz offerings from a midsized ensemble.

Barcelona won the Champions League after beating Manchester United 3-1 in the final at Wembley.
The game was Van der Sar's last for United, after announcing his retirement earlier this season.
"(I played) one game too many I think, it is not nice to lose of course. They had the better chances and we made one or two mistakes and they punish you," Van der Sar told ITV.
Van der Sar did not feel he could have done any better with Messi's long-range effort.
"I thought I was positioned well," he said. "He tends to curl it into the far post but he didn't.
"They are very good, you have to try and score the first goal and we didn't do that. It is not always a given, I thank everyone for the memories."
Barcelona lifted the European Cup for the fourth time after goals from Pedro, Lionel Messi and David Villa.
England international Wayne Rooney had earlier equalised for Manchester United in a thrilling match in London on Saturday evening.
