A childless St. Paul woman allegedly created library cards for 24 imaginary children in order to steal thousands of dollars in video games and DVDs from the Ramsey County library system.
Nhia Vue, who turns 23 Thursday, has been charged in Ramsey County District Court with one count of theft.
According to the complaint, she checked out 50 video games, 41 DVDs and 21 books from different county public library branches between May 13 and June 4. The items were valued at just over $4,100.
The charges said she pawned 46 games and 22 DVDs. Authorities recovered some of the items, which showed signs of tampering. Library labels were peeled off and library markings on the DVDs were blackened with a permanent marker, the charges allege.
"I've never had … anyone take advantage of the library system in quite this way," Library Director Susan Nemitz said. "It's wildly disappointing."
Vue allegedly had 25 library cards, 24 of them in the names of different fake children.
A search of Vue's home in June allegedly recovered more than two dozen DVDs that belonged to the county library. Most of the stolen items, taken from four branches, were returned, Nemitz said.
"Vue admitted she doesn't have any children and each of the accounts she created is for a fictitious person," the charges said. "Vue claimed her problems started because she is disabled and cannot stand on her foot for a long period of time.
An employee who worked in circulation identified "irregular activity" linked to Vue, Nemitz said. Vue's name was listed as a parent on some of the fake children's cards.
According to the complaint, "She said her boyfriend and his cousin told her that if she borrowed items and didn't return them, the money would come out of her taxes."
She allegedly told authorities that she knew what she did was wrong, but that she needed money for food and spending.
"I didn't look at it as stealing," she said, according to charges. "I looked at it as borrowing. I thought I could pay them back on my taxes."
The complaint says that Vue also allegedly stole $1,638 worth of similar items from Anoka County's library system.

Title: Motor Vehicle Accidents: The Dow Chemical Company's Use of "Six Sigma" M
Type: Text Slide
Speaker Notes:
Motor Vehicle Accidents Case Study: The Dow Chemical Companys Use of "Six Sigma" Methodology (Dec. 2005)
Problem: Reduce motor vehicle accidents, which are the leading cause of occupational fatalities in the U.S., in Dows Hydrocarbons and Energy (HC&E) business unit.
Solution: Use "Six Sigma" to identify root causes of motor vehicle accidents and implement a program that produces sustainable results. Six Sigma uses a four-step process to reduce defects in processes, products, or services. The following summarizes how Dow applied the Six Sigma methodology to reduce motor vehicle accidents at its HC&E business unit:
Step 1: Measure. The project team collected information on variables associated with motor vehicle accidents, including factors related to the accident, the driver, the vehicle, and the details of the accident.
Step 2: Analyze. The team analyzed the information to determine what factors contributed to most of the accidents (root cause analysis).
Step 3: Improve. The team developed a series of driver procedures to address the risk factors. For example, all drivers involved in accidents must complete a defensive driving course. In addition, every employee must review a 10-step "Arrive Alive" checklist before driving a Dow-owned or leased vehicle.
Step 4: Control. Establish controls to sustain the accident reduction and continue improvement. For example, the team held a series of presentations for drivers. Some presentations included general information for all drivers, while other presentations included more detailed information for drivers involved in accidents or who drive over 30,000 miles per year.

Hitting It Big—Worldwide
Multi-platinum band My Chemical Romance grace this month's catalog fresh from a back-to-back tour packed with songs from their fourth studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. The New Jersey rockers have soared to the heights of fame in just over a decade. The band's music is heard on stages around the world and across pop culture—from video games to soundtracks and TV shows.
From the start, the band's goal was to make a difference—a fervor born from tragedy. They formed in 2001, only one week after 9/11. Lead singer Gerard Way was commuting to his job as a commercial artist when he witnessed the attacks firsthand. Shock proved to be one potent chemical when he and his bandmates drew on their grief for musical inspiration.
Today, My Chemical Romance remains true to the inspiration behind their performances—from hard rock anthems to award-winning stage theatrics. Shop a full selection of the gear they used on their recent "World Contamination Tour." And don't miss our exclusive interviews with the band, all right here!
Featured Gear
We were thrilled to meet with the four main membersâlead vocalist Gerard Way, bassist and Gerard's bro Mikey Way, and guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Ieroâwho told us about their approach to songwriting, what gear they prefer, and how they get their sound. Frank talks about the inspiration behind his signature Epiphone Wilshireâenter to win it in the My Chemical Romance Epiphone Wilshire Guitar Giveaway!

Narragansett, R.I. -- May 7, 2001 -- It
was a picture-perfect day for sailing when
the top five teams from the
Ocean Sciences Bowl regional
competition, dubbed the Quahog Bowl,
recently got together for an afternoon
trip aboard the Continental Sloop
Providence. The trip, donated by the
Providence Maritime Heritage Foundation
which operates the Sloop Providence, was
just one of the prizes connected with the
academically challenging and prestigious
competition for high school students.
On board were the winners of the Quahog
Bowl from Cranston West High School who
also placed a very respectable third at
the national tournament in Miami in April.
Joining them were another team from
Cranston West, who came in second in the
regional competition, the third-place team
from West Warwick High School, the
fourth-place team from Miss Porters
School in Farmington, Connecticut, and the
fifth-place team from Narragansett High
Before boarding the Sloop Providence, the
Cranston West teams spent the morning
touring Sonalysts, the Waterford,
Connecticut-based multimedia production
facility. Locally, they will also tour the
Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport
and spend an afternoon aboard the URI
coastal research vessel Capn
This August, the winning Cranston West
team will visit Catalina Island off the
coast of southern California, the
teams prize for placing third in the
national competition. Unlike the summer
tourists, the students will stay on the
University of Southern Californias
Wrigley Institute campus where they will
kayak in and around the coves and natural
caves lining the coast, snorkel with
adolescent tiger sharks near the research
facility docking area, and assist
researchers by tagging fish.
The five students who traveled to Miami
to represent Rhode Island in the national
finals were team captain Joe Allen,
Michael Neirinckx, Rick Shideler, Nicole
Stockley, and Emily Shumchenia. All are
seniors, except Stockley, a sophomore.
They were accompanied by their teacher
coach Steven Krous.
During the trip aboard the Sloop
Providence, the Cranston West team spoke
enthusiastically about the national
competition in Miami.
"The competition was intense," said
team captain Allen. "The entire process
was a huge commitment, but with the huge
commitment comes huge rewards. Weve
gotten very close as a result of the
National Ocean Sciences Bowl. In fact, we
still meet once a week as a group."
Allen, who will be going to URI in
September as an ocean engineering student,
explained that since last September until
the competition in April, the group met to
practice after school for two hours, three
days a week.
Neirinckx, who will be attending
Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the
fall to major in computer science, said he
loved Miami. "We went to the beach and we
had a lot of fun, but the competition was
the best.
The other senior members of the team
will also be heading to college in the
fall. Emily Shumchenia will be attending
URI as a pharmacy major and Rich Shideler
will major in biology at Providence
They all gave high marks to their coach
Steve Krous who attended their practices
and went with them to the national
competition in Miami.
Organized by the URI
of Marine Programs, the 2001 Quahog
Bowl was hosted by the URI Graduate School
of Oceanography (GSO) in collaboration
with Mystic Aquarium, a major sponsor.
Patterned after the National Science
Bowl, the National Ocean Sciences Bowl was
inaugurated in 1998 to provide a forum for
students who excel in math and science to
receive national recognition for their
diligence and talent while broadening
their awareness and understanding of the
oceans. Federal sponsors of the National
Ocean Sciences Bowl include the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
the Office of Naval Research, the
Oceanographer of the Navy, the National
Science Foundation, the U.S. Geological
Survey, NASA, Anteon Corporation, the
National Sea Grant College Program, and
the Center for Marine Conservation.

Tara Practice
A short Tara practice composed by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Scribe/date unknown. Lightly edited by Sandra Smith.
See also Tara the Liberator, Rinpoche's commentary on Tara practice, or listen online to an audio recording of the Praises to the Twenty-One Taras.
FPMT's Foundation Store has a range of Tara practice materials available for purchase. You can also download the booklet, Praises to the Twenty-one Taras,from the FPMT website.
Tara Practice
Mother Tara who liberates from samsara,
Who liberates from the eight fears.
TURE liberates from sickness,
To the liberating mother I prostrate and praise!
Then chant the mantra:
Guru Mother Tara is filled with loving kindness and compassion towards you and all living beings; and is looking at you all the time.
Nectar beams emitted from her heart enter your body and mind, and purify you. Just as a glass bottle is filled with milk, your body is filled with nectar, purifying all your karma, where all the suffering, sickness and spirit harm come from. Those sufferings collected from beginningless rebirth are completely removed.
Your body becomes in the nature of white light, clear, like crystal, and your mind becomes totally pure. Chant the mantra with this visualization.
Recite half a mala for yourself and half a mala for your family and all sentient beings in the same way. Everybody becomes in the nature of white light, with a calm, clean, clear mind; they become pure. You can do 25 mantras or half or a complete mala.
Think that you receive all the qualities of Tara's holy body, speech and mind. Particularly think that there is omniscience and great compassion in your heart. Take responsibility for liberating all living beings from the oceans of samsara and bringing them to full enlightenment by yourself alone. Think that you receive perfect power to benefit sentient beings, for you and your family.
At the end, recite this extremely powerful prayer for success, not only for mundane success, but for spiritual success, to cease the causes of suffering—delusion and karma—and to attain the path of enlightenment. Recite this prayer, and if you have some wish that you want to succeed, recite it a few times.
OM I prostrate to Tara, exalted mother gone beyond,
Homage mother liberator TURE qualified mother,
Mother with TUTTARE dispelling all fears,
To SVAHA letters I extremely bow down.

(Press conference following the NATO Defense Ministerials, Brussels, Belgium.)
Rumsfeld: I will start by saying I'm Don Rumsfeld, dutifully saying I am Don Rumsfeld. My affiliation is the United States of America, ex of Chicago.
I believe you at least had an opportunity to have a statement, an unclassified version of a statement, that I delivered a portion of today. So you at least have most of the topics that were touched on. By way of opening this up, I will simply say we had very good discussions and there is no question but that the heart of it was for the United States and the Bush administration to reemphasize the importance we attach to NATO. That it is the anchor of our relationship here in Europe and will continue to be so. That we have no plans for any substantial adjustments with respect to troops, although some arrangements might change as a result of the defense review. I have no plans for even those, but I would not want to rule it out.
Second, I would say that we are engaged with our NATO allies in the Balkans. We have gone in with them, and as I have said publicly on a number of occasions, we will stay with them and when things are appropriate and stable, we would, in cooperation and in consultation with our allies, adjust our forces with them at the appropriate time. We do feel, and they feel, and the meeting had an extensive discussion on it -- the importance of seeing that the work takes place on the civil side. That the kinds of structures and police forces and court systems, and elements that contribute to a more stable environment there, need to be accelerated and pushed forward by the responsible officials, including the UN, the EU, and others who have indicated willingness to be helpful there. The importance of that is that you certainly would not want to adjust troop levels downward at any point in a way that left an unstable situation. The reason for going in was to create a stable situation. But certainly not to leave troops there in perpetuity, which is why the other piece of it was that there would be diligent work on the civil side in the Balkans. I mention that because I think it was an important part of the discussion, and an important part of the communiqué. [ In addition to the communiqué, NATO issued a separate statement on the situation in the Balkans. ]
I'll just make one other comment. There was extensive discussion about the problems of proliferation and the extensive spread of weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivery and ballistic missiles. We discussed missile defense at some length. We are certainly committed to full consultations with our allies, as well as with Russia, and other countries that have an interest. I feel that we were able in the briefings to raise the discussion to a new level of detail and certainly I suspect that as a result of the meetings here, there is a better understanding of the approach that the United States is in the process of engaging in with Russia and with our allies. With that I will stop and respond to questions.
Q: Mr. Secretary, I might ask you a quick double-barreled question. I'll keep it simple. Are you afraid that the U.S. and NATO troops are going to be sucked into Macedonia, and number two, do you think you changed any skeptical minds today on missile defense?
Rumsfeld: I don't know that I know enough about where people were previously on missile defense, but I must say that I was pleased with the generally very favorable comments that we received both in the meetings and in bilaterals. It is clearly a subject that is in motion. If you think about NATO, it is a collection of a large number of countries, and what it takes in consultations is -- leadership here is not by command. It's by consent, it's by persuasion, it's by discussion and consultation and consensus, and it is a process that takes place. I've been involved in it, off and on, for a good number of years.
I was telling the ministers today that I went to visit a friend of mine who used to be the dean of the [North Atlantic] council, the Belgian ambassador to NATO named Andre de Staerke. He's in a nursing home here in town, and we visited yesterday afternoon after I landed. We were talking about the fact that NATO is a series of multiple bilaterals, taking place in front of everybody else. If you do it statistically, someone told me, mathematically, that what went on in that room today was 171 simultaneous bilaterals, but all of them were taking place in front of each other which is a very different process. It is that process that we're in the middle of, and moving along with.
The question with respect to Macedonia, I would certainly not use that phraseology. The subject was discussed at considerable length. As you know I was there this week, and met with the minister of defense there, and then again in Greece at the Southeastern [Europe Defense] Ministerial meeting. It is a subject that is being discussed in capitals, it is a subject that will be discussed in NATO, and it is a serious situation. Certainly, as you know, the United States is involved on the diplomatic side. We have a defense liaison unit in the capital and have been providing various types of assistance to the government over a period of time. Secretary Powell's been there, I've been there, and we're all attentive and hopeful that the all-party government will maintain its cohesion, and that the violence can be avoided and that they will find their way to a more stable position.
Q. Mr. Secretary, in your statement that you released, you make reference to the United States wanting to deploy test assets to provide rudimentary defenses to deal with emerging threats. Does that imply, or does that mean, the United States intends on saying it has a deployed system before it has actually chosen the final architecture for a system? If so, does that mean we're likely to be bumping up against the ABM Treaty perhaps sooner than people had expected?
Rumsfeld: The short answer, as to whether or not we might be bumping up against the limits of the treaty and when, is that it's not possible to know when you're engaged in a series of research and development programs that have to get to a certain point prior to the time they become test programs. Depending on which lawyer you talk to, you might arrive at a point where you're bumping up against the treaty with the test, but not with the R&D. It might be one test but not another test. It's complicated, so we're not in a position really to know. Therefore, that's why we're currently in discussions with the Russians about the treaty, and about looking for something to move beyond the treaty -- a framework to move beyond the treaty, that is broader than simply missile defense, which is why the president, in his remarks, talked about substantial reductions in nuclear offensive forces among other things. I guess that answers your question.
Q: The first part was the idea of deploying test assets.
Rumsfeld: Oh well, yes that's a possibility. It's not a certainty, but it's a possibility. If, for example, you were testing something and, well let me put it this way. There has been any number of capabilities, over the last thirty or forty years, that were in the test state and ultimately used operationally prior to ever being deployed operationally, as such. For example, Kosovo. Some capabilities were used in that manner. It is not unusual. In the event it appeared that there was a ballistic missile, an immediate ballistic missile problem -- threat, a weapon of mass destruction threat, that was current, and you were in the process of testing something, logic would tell you that you might very well deploy it for test purposes in a serious immediate, real time, situation. Just as was done in Kosovo. I'm not predicting that, it was just mentioned as a possibility.
Q: Secretary Rumsfeld, first of all I want a clarification on the Reuters' gentleman's question. You said something about the subject to be discussed. Now does that mean?
Rumsfeld: You're talking about Macedonia?
Q: Yes, of course -- troops being sucked into it, or in general?
Rumsfeld: No, I rejected his characterization at the outset, in good fun.
Q: Well, my question is, if some arrangements could change on the force structure? Could you explain that?
Rumsfeld: No, I couldn't.
Q: Second question is --
Rumsfeld: Well wait, let me answer them one at a time. It's late in the day, and I'm tired. I'm an old timer.
The statement I made was that we had no plans to change size or force structures in Europe. We are in a defense review. One of the things we're talking about is how our forces are organized. It is conceivable, and I did not therefore want to rule out the possibility, that one might reorganize some aspect of how they are arranged, which is a different issue from numbers. You say, well in what way? The answer is we don't know, we're not at that stage. We're looking at those things right now, which is why I didn't want to rule it out. I hope that is a full, complete, clarification. We do not want to inject tremors into the subject matter here and get people nervous about things. I simply didn't want to rule something out.
Q: Pushing the civil side in Bosnia, I mean what can be done now when the OSCE and the UN are -- there are rumors going around that they're going to drastically cut their people in a couple of years. What can be done to push the civil side to get what you need to get done?
Rumsfeld: Well, there are plenty of intelligent, caring, interested people on the globe, who would want to help other people. What is needed there are police forces and court systems and the kinds of assistance that enable a more stable environment to exist. Now one way that can be done is with force. But the goal isn't to put forces in and leave them there in perpetuity. The goal is to put forces in, stabilize the situation, and then find natural, preferably homegrown, structures that can assume the responsibilities to perpetuate that stability.
Q: If I may go back to Macedonia. My colleague just in front asked you about the possibility of the Europeans and the Americans troops getting inside the country. You avoided the question. If the alliance is not trying to send troops in between the leading gunmen of Macedonian forces, what kind of concrete help is your new administration ready to give to the Macedonia crisis, and if I may follow up --
Rumsfeld: The things that have been requested have, for the most part been responded to. There was a request by the Macedonian government for the UN forces, NATO forces I should say, in Kosovo to reinforce the area along the border, and to try to reduce the flow of people across the Kosovo-Macedonia border. There was a request for various types of equipment. Many countries have responded to those requests. There was a request for a liaison team on the ground, and that has been responded to and there is a U.S. military liaison team. There is a representative of the Department of State currently in Macedonia with Mr. Solana, as I recall, today. So there have been four, five, six, eight, things that have happened, and have been requested, which have been responded to positively.
Q. Secretary Rumsfeld, currently the United States does not have a missile defense technology. I understand that you showed some of the ministers some of the successful missile tests, but didn't show them any of the failures. Were you able to present any evidence to suggest that the U.S. will eventually be able to field a missile defense system that works?
Rumsfeld: This is an interesting question in the sense of, what do you mean when you say "that works." Does your car work? If it doesn't work 100 percent of the time, do you want to get rid of it and walk? Not really. Is there a single weapons system in any country on the face of the earth that works 100 percent of the time? Answer, not to my knowledge.
Now I've heard the criticism of missile defense technology, that there have been some failures. I don't know a single advanced research and development project in the history of mankind that didn't suffer a series of failures. I mean if the Wright Brothers had stopped after the first thirty or forty attempts at getting an airplane in the air, we wouldn't have airplanes. There is no question that in any R&D activity, you end up learning something by trying it.
Now there have been some successes. There have also been a number of failures. I've used the example before, but President Eisenhower developed and urged the creation of the Corona program for an overhead satellite so we could know more about what was going on in the world by way of ballistic missile developments in the old Soviet Union. I think there were 11 straight failures. He could have stopped after any one of them. But he didn't. He went ahead and got one that worked. It ended up saving our country billions and billions of dollars because of the knowledge that came from that overhead satellite capability.
Now, did we show them any failures? They've been well splashed all over the newspapers for most of my adult lifetime. I can't imagine what we could have shown them that they didn't know. I don't think, Steve, you did, did you? Why not?
Steve Cambone, special assistant to Rumsfeld: We did talk about them, right. It was oral.
Q: There isn't really any reason to believe you're going to succeed.
Rumsfeld: We showed them some instances where hit-to-kill has worked. That is to say, visual examples of instances where the ability to fire something at a missile and hit it actually happened. Now, you can characterize that as evidence or not. I think the best evidence of it is the fact that we are proceeding with a variety of technologies, or research and development activities, that have not previously been explored to any length, because had they been successful, they would have bounced against the treaty. The prior administration had concluded that they did not want to bounce against the treaty.
This administration has drawn the conclusion that the nature of the threat is sufficient, and the difficulties of staying within the treaty are sufficiently difficult, that in fact the only way to proceed rationally -- if you want to be able to defend yourself against ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction -- is to announce the truth. A treaty that opposes the development of ballistic missiles is not hospitable to the development of ballistic missiles. That's why we're embarked on that activity.
Q: I would like to ask you about Turkey. You have recently been to Turkey, and I would like to know where do we actually now stand with regard to ESDP and NATO, and actually reaching agreement on this long-standing problem.
Rumsfeld: I am relatively new to this discussion, but my understanding is that they were some distance apart several months ago, and that recently there have been rather intensive discussions that have brought the EU negotiators much closer to the position that the government of Turkey has taken, and that they have not achieved closure. But it is much closer than it had been previously.
Q: Sir, on the issue of the missile threat, what is your assessment of the level of effort in Libya to develop a long-range ballistic missile, and do you put Libya in the category of an emerging threat?
Rumsfeld: Libya is actively pursuing ballistic missile technology. Like most countries they are proceeding from shorter range to somewhat longer range, and they are in that path at the present time.
Q: Long range?
Rumsfeld: The problem with long, short, longer -- it tends to be a process that is evolutionary. It is of course possible to change the ranges of these weapons by changing some of the weight and using different materials. It is possible to change the ranges of these weapons by adding stages. It is possible to change the ranges by clustering first stages of similar rockets. The reality is that today the genie is out of the bottle.
These countries that are doing what they are doing today are often poor -- in the case of North Korea, starving -- and they are determined. They are taking their funds from all the creature comforts for their people, denying them, and investing them in ballistic missile technology and weapons of mass destruction technology. They are doing it for a purpose. They are doing it because they have decided that that is something that is very much in their interest and alters their circumstance in the world. They tend to be countries that are not democratic systems. They tend not to be even like the old Soviet Union with a general secretary of the Communist Party, and a Politburo and a general staff of the military, with a certain number of buffers. What we are talking about here are individuals that pretty much make up their own minds. Saddam Hussein does not do a heck of lot of consulting. He does not have a NATO council to talk to, I don't think, or a parliament or a cabinet with influence. He does what he will. It is a quite different situation.
Q: I would like to get back to the issue with Turkey and would like to know from you whether you see any hope of settling this issue before or at President Bush's visit here next week.
Rumsfeld: I am not in a position to opine on that. We are not a party, as such. It is the EU and Turkey that are working that out. When they will come to closure, I do not know. I suspect they will come to closure at some point. Far be it for me to think I could predict when. It has been going on some time.
Q: On missile defense, until now the American consultations have shown that the European allies do not see a common threat like the United States. How, and by when, are you going to overcome this problem?
Rumsfeld: First of all, it is not clear to me that you are correct in your question. When you say they do not --
Q: They don't see the threat like the United States sees it.
Rumsfeld: There are certainly members of NATO that don't. Well, certainly, everyone is important in NATO. But there are any number that do see the common threat.
The important thing about the threat is that it is not debatable. It exists. The number of countries that are working on weapons of mass destruction programs has been going up like this. The number of countries that have ballistic missiles, or are in the process of seeking them, is going up. The number of ballistic missiles on the face to the earth in the last four or five years has gone up something in excess of a thousand of these things. We know, of certain knowledge, that any number of nations are engaged in developing chemical and biological warfare. And that is very bad stuff. The threat is there. It exists and it is growing.
And it seems to me it is perfectly fine for people to have different views, different policies, and different opinions on things. But not on facts. The distinction is, I don't think people, debate what I have just said to you. I think where the difference comes is, some people say, "Well, okay, that's true; there's evidence of that, but we don't know about intent." You have capabilities but then the question is, are people really intending to use those things.
We know that the United States and France and the U.K. have nuclear power, but we also know that it has not been used in fifty years in anger, and it is not likely that one democracy is going to use those kinds of capabilities against another democracy. We also know that Saddam Hussein has used gas on his own people. It is not likely it would offend his sensibilities. We also know his nuclear program was well advanced, was considerably in advance of where Western intelligence had estimated, and the Israelis of course preempted and went in and took it out many years ago. And thank goodness they did. Because when the Gulf War ended, and we found out where they were, they would have been considerably in advance.
The last thing I'll say about it is, my point is this: Nothing wrong with differing on opinions, but when you are talking about facts, facts are facts. And the facts are not unclear as to what countries are doing what with respect to various types of weapons of mass destruction. What we must not do, it seems to me, is to politicize facts because they are uncomfortable or unpleasant or do not fit our policy view. There is nothing wrong as people do in the United States Senate, who say, "Fair enough, that's the fact, but I am against this program for this reason."
For example, some in the world would say, "Goodness gracious, the greater threat is a satchel bomb, a terrorist attack with a biological weapon." There is no question but that once the Gulf War was over and it was clear that it was not wise or prudent to compete against Western armies, navies or air forces, the asymmetrical threats became a logical direction for someone who wanted to alter behavior to go. That means they would look logically across that spectrum.
They would look at terrorism, they would look at cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and so it is perfectly rationale for someone to say I look at that spectrum and I say, "Gee, the problem is greater here than it is there. You can't debate that, because none of us knows where it is greater." Some will say, "Well, why would you want to have defense against missiles if in fact, they could do it other ways, with a cruise missile, or with a terrorist attack?" The answer is: do you do nothing, simply because you can't do everything?
The purpose of a terror weapon is to terrorize. And the important thing to remember about it is: it need not be used to be effective. It can alter behavior simply by existing and having its use threatened. Imagine trying to fashion the coalition in the Gulf War if Saddam Hussein, the week before he invaded Kuwait, had launched a ballistic missile with a weapon of mass destruction that clearly could have reached Europe or the United States. And then you try to go out to talk everyone into, let's get Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait this week. And everyone knows that they have got population centers, vulnerable to a weapon that he has and has demonstrated a willingness to use. It changes behavior.
People talk about what are the effects of deploying ballistic missiles. I would say we also want to think about what are the effects of not deploying ballistic missiles. I mean ballistic missile defense, excuse me. If we do not develop a ballistic missile defense, and the progression we are on at the present time continues and more countries get more weapons of greater power, and we arrive at a point where something needs to be done and you know you are facing a country with a ballistic missile and a nuclear weapon or a biological weapon, you are vulnerable. You don't have a defense. What are your choices? Your choices are to acquiesce. Let them invade Kuwait. You can't do anything about it without putting your population centers at risk. That means you are going to end up with an isolationist world. You are going to end up with countries tucking back and it will have an enormous effect on the prosperity and the economic opportunities across this globe.
You have another choice assuming, again, you are totally vulnerable. Your policy has been, as a leader of a major nation: let's remain vulnerable. That's our strategy for the future. Let's not have any defense against those weapons. How would you like to announce that to your people?
But your second choice is to preempt, as the Israelis did, with respect to the nuclear capability in Baghdad. That's not a happy prospect for a president either. Imagine you are an advisor to the president. You walk into the prime minister or the president's office and you say here is the situation. We have a policy of vulnerability. We are not going to deploy any missile defense capabilities and we don't want to acquiesce and let Saddam Hussein go into Kuwait. Therefore -- he hasn't done anything yet, but we think he might some day go into Kuwait -- therefore you should preempt and go in and take out his nuclear capability or go in and -- Saddam Hussein hasn't done anything at this point, mind you, which was the case when the Israelis went in. Now that's not a happy thing to have to go in and ask a prime minister to do, is it?
It isn't a matter of is this a perfect choice. It is a matter of, is it a better choice than the alternatives, and the alternatives, I don't think, are particularly good ones either. The idea of preemption is a difficult one; the idea of acquiescing and pulling back and saying a lot of bad things are going to happen in the world, but I'm sorry but those weapons are too powerful, therefore I don't want to put my population centers at risk. It's just a thought.
Thank you.

New iMac won't connect to new Canon MP490 printer
Please help us connect out new iMac purchased at the Apple Store to the Canon MP 490 all in one printer we got with the computer (same store). We have followed the manual (twice) and have gone to the Canon website to download drivers but after all of that, the computer still doesn't recognize the presence of the printer.
I would think this to be a simple process but it's driving us nuts!
I'm having the same problem.... sucks.
You can try this though

A Process to Identify the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012 launched an intergovernmental process to define the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It called for the establishment of an open working group with the view to developing global sustainable development goals which will be agreed by the UN General Assembly.
The 30-member Open Working Group (OWG) was established in January 2013 and includes representatives nominated by Member States from the five UN regional groups. Member States decided to use an innovative, constituency-based system of representation which means that most of the seats in the OWG are shared by several countries.
The OWG met in eight sessions that covered a large number of issues, ranging from poverty eradication, food security, water and sanitation, employment, health, macroeconomic policy questions, means of implementation, sustainable consumption and production, to human rights, gender equality and conflict prevention, post-conflict peacebuilding. In September 2014, the OWG submitted its report to the 68th session of the UN General Assembly, with a proposal for the SDGs.
The Rio+20 outcome document specifies that the SDGs should:
- address and incorporate in a balanced way all three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental) as well as their inter-linkages;
- build upon commitments already made and contribute to the full implementation of the outcomes of all major summits in the economic, social and environmental fields, including the Rio+20 outcome document;
- be action-oriented, concise and easy to communicate, limited in number, aspirational, global in nature and universally applicable to all countries; and
- be coherent with, and integrated into, the United Nations development agenda beyond 2015.
The UN Secretary-General provided the initial input to the work of the group, in consultation with national governments. To support the OWG, an inter-agency technical support team on SDGs was established under the umbrella of the UN System Task Team on the Post-2015 UN Development Agenda (also called the UN Task Team). The UN Task Team prepares issues briefs on the topics that are being discussed by the OWG. UN Women is a member of the Task Team.

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
butter pecan cake mix
1 (16 ounce) container
coconut pecan frosting
3/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 cup
1 cup
chopped pecans
Let me start off by saying if you are a cake mix snob, and even more importantly a canned frosting snob, as I am, do not turn your nose up on this recipe! It does not taste like it came from a box of cake mix nor a can of pre-made frosting. I have served this cake to dozens of people, all of who beg me for the recipe and then mouths hit the ground when I tell them what's in it. I just make a few minor changes from the original recipe, which is still great as-is. I use buttermilk in place of water which makes the cake super moist and rich, as if it needs more of that! And since I'm using buttermilk, which is heavier than water, I cut the oil back to 2/3 cup. I also omit the pecans that go in the cake pan as I dress this cake up later with butter-rum glaze and a spiced cream cheese frosting, garnished with lots of extra pecans. I also add a tsp. of rum flavoring into the cake batter. Yummy!
I did not care for this recipe.

Tasty and so very easy to make! It took longer to bake in my oven -- a little over an hour for a toothpick inserted in center to come out clean. I would definitely recommend allowing the cake to cool for quite a while (if not completely) in the pan. It's very moist and may fall apart if you turn it out of the pan while it's still warm. As suggested by other reviewers, I believe the oil and/or water could be cut just slightly to make for more manageable slicing without compromising the soft, moist texture of the cake. Will try that next time. Thank you -- we really enjoyed this one! :) **Update** March '08 -- I've made this again and am bumping my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I based 4 stars on my personal tastes. I thought it was really good, but not quite 5-star; however, everyone else who has tried it thinks it's top shelf, especially with the caramel glaze I added. So, I'm going with the consensus -- 5 stars! I definitely would recommend dropping the oil and water back by a couple of tablespoons each. Still turns out extremely moist and the texture seems a bit more amenable to slicing. One point to emphasize (again) -- let the cake cool in the pan! It's so nice to find recipes that are not only delicious but ridiculously easy to make. Thanks again!
I made this as a b-day cake and people were coming back for 2nd and 3rd helpings. As recommended cut the oil down to 2/3 and the water to 3/4. I also made a citrus glaze for it (thought the carmel would make the cake too sweet). Citrus Glaze was 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon grated orange peel, & 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of orange juice. Perfect complement to a perfect cake!
GREAT-tasting and moist (it got the finicky hubby's stamp of approval)...AND WAY TOO EASY (if there is such a thing)! HOWEVER, please note: the 1st time I made this I took the advice of other reviewers, reducing the veg oil to 2/3C and the water to 3/4C and ended up with a CRUMBLY MESS! (I even used a bread knife and a "sawing motion" as others suggested, and it still fell apart). This time I followed the ORIGINAL recipe and the cake held together! (Imagine that!) (It IS very moist, tho, so the bread knife/sawing method helps). Made sure to mix batter thoroughly---crumbling all the cake mix clumps as I stirred---and once I filled the bundt pan with the batter, gave it a good couple of raps on the counter to get rid of the air bubbles. I used butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray, and suggest you wait 'til cake cools completely before removing it from pan. I also toasted the well-chopped pecans as another reviewer suggested (spread out on cookie sheet for 5 mins. at 350 degrees). Toasting them makes a difference! Thank you for sharing, Debbie...SO generous of you! And lastly...STOCK UP WHEN THESE INGREDIENTS GO ON SALE AT THE MARKET!!! ;-)
This is great but it is very rich. Need to let cool completely (at least 2-3 hours) before removing from pan-because the cake is so heavy the bottom will come apart. I used Carmel Frosting VI as others suggested but without adding pecans(cake has plenty). This was a hit!
A good cake but not a knockout. Somewhat too sweet. It doesn't cut well and the slices are very crumbly due to the frosting in the batter, which makes it heavy and moist inside. It was fast and easy to make.
Took it to a PTO Officer meeting and they loved it!! Betty Crocker makes the butter pecan cake mix. We collect the box tops and this helps our program!! Thanks for the great recipe!!

Thursday, August 28, 2014
A magistrate hearing that could decide if Monday night fireworks over the inlet violate the Georgetown County noise ordinance has been postponed until Sept. 18 at 10 a.m.
About 40 people who gathered in the Georgetown County Magistrates office in Pawleys Island on Aug. 21 found out that Scott Joye, the defense attorney, was only retained that morning so the case would not be heard.
I know very little about [the case], Joye said.
I have not been able to subpoena the documents and records needed to defend my client.
Judge John Benso, the magistrate for the Murrells Inlet area, stated that he knows people were expecting a decision but he had no choice.
Every man has a right to counsel, Benso said.
As much as I would like to provide some kind of resolution to this issue, I agree that counsel needs time to review the evidence in the case.
Before Joye requested a continuance, Benso was asking the people in the court room if anyone had an objection to him deciding the case.
Benso served on the Murrells Inlet 2020 Board of Directors, a non-profit group that has voiced opposition to the weekly fireworks, in 2010 and 2011.
He said he knows Murrells Inlet 2020 is not directly involved in this case, but he wanted to make sure it would not be an issue before continuing.
I invite argument if anyone feels that my impartiality would reasonably be questioned, Benso stated.
Sheriffs deputies, representing the State of South Carolina in the case, and Joye all said they had no objections to Benso serving as judge in the case.
The countys Sheriffs Office issued two citations against Kenneth Dean Roberts with Zambelli Fireworks on Aug. 4 and 11, after receiving complaints from three Murrells Inlet residents: Sandra Bundy, Leon Rice and Emily Weinreich.
Those residents are hoping that the weekly fireworks over the Marsh Walk, which last about seven or eight minutes at 9 p.m. on Mondays, will be discontinued next year.
The three residents do not oppose the annual Fourth of July fireworks over the inlet.
Representatives of seven restaurants on the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk who sponsor the fireworks say the thousands of people who come to Murrells Inlet to enjoy the weekly fireworks outweigh a few residents who oppose them and that the fireworks show is permitted.
Representatives of Zambelli, the company that puts on the show, agree, saying that they have met all regulations for county and state.
According to the Magistrates office, if Roberts pleads guilty, evidence will be presented and the judge will decide whether he accepts the guilty plea.
If he does, the judge will issue a fine or other penalty.
If Roberts pleads not guilty and wants a jury trial, the case will be transferred to Georgetown Judicial Center.
If he pleads not guilty and wants a bench trial, the case will be heard right then and the state has to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
If he is found guilty of violating the county noise ordinance, it is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by no less than $250, or more than $500, or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days.

Two weeks later... Slasher Design finally decides to issue an apology (of sorts)...
"I would like to apologize to any and all that have either been affected, offended, or unsatisfied with any of my work. There was never any deceptive or malicious intent in mind. Having been working in art/design for nearly ten years and playing in a band for a majority of that earlier on, I was never made aware that some of the way I've worked and the work I had done was looked down upon. In portions of my work I often utilize a technique that I first learned in design school and eventually had heard of doing from other artists early on as well as of late… one in which you take a reference piece, paint over it and/or alter it to make it your own. When doing this it was always my intention to alter it enough to be considered my own. However, I understand that is a blurry line, and one I never wanted to cross. This is definitely a learning experience and my focus now is to evolve and for this to no longer be an issue. Again, I'm truly sorry for any pain I have caused."
I'm sorry but most instances were CLEARLY cut and paste jobs and not just "painted over" references.

Discovering Information Relevant to API Elements Using Text Classification
, McGill, SOCS
Software Engineering/Natural Language Processing
The number and the size of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are
continuously growing. Applications become increasingly dependent on APIs. For
example, Java SE 6, which is the core of all Java applications, contains 3774
classes and 203 packages. Programmers, both novice and experienced, are faced to the
problem of learning about the vast number of APIs. Given the time at their disposal,
it is not possible for programmers to learn all the APIs they need in depth.
During this seminar I will describe a technique for discovering relevant sections of
an API tutorial to help programmers to find additional related information about API
elements they are interested in. The suggested technique automatically analyses API
tutorials to assess the usefulness of the information contained therein using
Natural Language Processing and Text Classification methods. Afterwards, I will
present the results of experiments and the lessons learnt from this work.

nymilk Introduces 91% Butterfat Cultured Butter
any idea how much does 8oz of this butter goes for at eataly?
any idea how much does 8oz of this butter goes for at eataly?
Take the 7 Train to 46th Street in Sunnyside and go to De Mole. Its one of the better (if not best), more authentic sit down Mexican spots in the city. The food and service is top notch, and it is incredibly inexpensive. You're severely limiting yourself if you're looking for good Mexican food in Manhattan, and depending where you live, getting out to Sunnyside can be quicker than going some places in Manhattan.
I think St Marks is the best all around, but the Chelsea one can be way better if they get it right. the one near 55th has really gone downhill.
I think its a different owner, but the one in chinatown has great hot pot.
I really like Terroir and the food is fantastic. From 5 to 6pm they have a great happy hour and free sherry. I only went because of the Serious Eats review of the gorgonzola stuffed beet risotto balls (thanks). I was extremely happy with the drinks, food and service. the Yoshi's Fried Chicken is incredible, if they're still doing it.
Paddy's tops them all... except (maybe) Redbreast.
Eataly has them as well, but they're quite expensive
I think Sun Sai Gai has the best roast pork buns in the city, and a couple of the combination buns are big enough for a meal. Its not a 'traditional' dim sum place, but its definitely worth checking out. The roast meats are also excellent.
Jade Asian Restaurant in Flushing is my favorite dim sum spot in the city. best to get there before 10am on weekends, or else you'll have to wait for a table.
Jade Asian Restaurant in Flushing is my favorite. Sunday mornings before 10am seem to be the best time to go.
If you're looking for roast pork buns, Sun Sai Gai in Manhattan chinatown is by far my favorite. Its not a dim sum place, but definitely worth checking out if you like roast pork buns.
Jing Fong's is probably my favorite in the area, but I'm generally disapointed in the Manhattan Chinatown dim sum... I would go to Flushing instead. Jade Asian Restaurant is great, especially if you get there early. Going for dim sum after 10/11am anywhere decent typically means a long wait and communal seating.
Soup dumplings in Shanghai
I know its cliche, but Peter Lugers is the best steak I've had in NYC
Pear infused vodka?
Taqueria Coatzingo in Jackson Heights is great and the Red Hook vendors in the summer are worth the trip
Totto seems to be the general consensus... i'm really looking for a place that puts all the emphasis on the yaki tori as opposed to the other dishes. i will check out some of the others later on for comparison. thanks all!
Meat Hook is great - that and Ottomanelli's (Bleeker around 7th ave) are my favorites.
is the burger patty like a regular BK patty or is it real/fresh meat?
the problem with 'fusion burgers' (is this a new term?) is that the meat and toppings/sauce are generally bad. the concept of a pizza burger isn't wrong, but the problem is that you're typically not getting good sauce or cheese. a quality burger with a nice fresh tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella sounds good. a frozen patty with jar sauce and polly-o (or much worse) sounds like a bad use of even worse ingredients.
same goes for mexican burgers, bbq burgers etc etc... making them at home with good ingredients tends to turn out better than what you get at a local bar...
that being said, the best burger to me is still nothing fancy - a good patty with some american cheese, red onion and nothing else (maybe russian dressing)
Canadian Club is a great mid/low price whisky. its mild, which is nice if thats what you're looking for.
And saying that "Most Canadian whisky is just awful" is kind of ridiculous. like any liquor, there are great bottles and terrible bottles. I can name way more disgusting bottles of bourbon, scotch, irish whiskey, and any other liquor than I can of Canadian whisky. I'll take Black Velvet over Clan MacGreggor any day. I think critics should avoid making generalizations like that.
You could make a day of it and get a few great dishes at a few different restaurants... I would suggest:
-Soup dumplings at Joe's Ginger or Joe's Shanghai (pell st)
-Gui Zhou Chicken and/or Chong Qing Beef at Grand Sichuan St Marks (the dan dan noodles are really good there as well)
-Mount Qi noodles from Xi'an famous foods (east broadway)
-Roast baby pig from great ny noodletown (bowery)
-House special chicken from Congee Village (Delancy)
If I had to pick one overall restaurant, it would be either Grand Sichuan on St Marks or SriPraPhai in woodside (a nice place with really cool garden out back)
Arharn Thai on 36th Ave and 32nd street has some of the best thai food I've ever had. its a smaller menu than Sri Pra Phai, but what they do I think they do better. this is a very underrated spot. the crispy duck salad, pad see ew (with beef) and tofu kra prow are amazing. great staff too
thanks guys!
Grand Sichuan in New York... The Gui Zhou chicken keeps me coming back.
Lidia Bastianich's restaurant, Becco, is a couple blocks from times square. Its great, and for $22 they serve 3 pastas (unlimited) and a salad or cold antipasta.
Szechuan Gourmet is on 39th btwn 5th and 6th if they're looking for good chinese food without having to go to chinatown.
I think Fairway sells them... at least in Red Hook they do. It might be worth calling the UWS location to see if they sell them. not sure about the quality, as I've never bought one.
Hi - I just moved to Boulder CO from NYC, and looking for restaurant and food shopping suggestions in or near Boulder. If anyone has any thoughts, I would really appreciate it! some things I'm looking for:
- Independent butcher shop (preferably one that sells wild game - but really just any place that's not a supermarket section with shrink wrapped meats).
- Good BBQ (preferably smoked, not "sauced")
- Authentic Thai and/or Chinese (no general tso's or bland curries)
- Ramen?
- A good (and spicy) Indian restaurant
- Anything that is a Boulder/Colorado specialty that I wouldn't get in NY, and anything else that may help adjusting to a new food scene.
Anyone have any suggestions for some good places to eat (other than Korean BBQ) that are open late (midnight +/-) on Fridays/Saturdays in Flushing? Ideally something that is mindblowingly delicious. Thanks!
Any suggestions for someplace nice for lunch in the Financial District? I'm thinking Les Halles or Delmonico's, but would like to hear some other suggestions before I commit. Something along those lines would be nice. Thanks!
Anyone have any good recommendations for places to eat in Phili? looking for a casual place and good food and good beers. Preferably places that serve some unique dishes that I can't find in New York.
Also, any recommendations for spots in Phili chinatown? maybe some that are open late?
Any other Phili tips (places to go, things to see) would be appreciated.
Any suggestions for good yakitori in nyc? I like the places on st marks, but i'm looking for something as good as what you can find in Japan (or as close as possible), and I think the st marks ones fall a little short. any help would be appreciated.
My wife and I are travelling to Tokyo in a couple months and we're trying to plan out some places to eat. I would really appreciate any suggestions on restaurants - we're staying in Shinjuku but will be moving around the city a lot.
we're looking for places $100-300 max for 2 people and looking for everything from tiny dives to upscale places. we eat everything and are very parial to ramen and anything new and unusual.
Does anyone know where I could buy cheese curds in nyc?
I recently picked up a bag of frozen taro at a japanese grocery and I have no idea what to do with it. I've never cooked taro before (fresh or frozen) so I'm very curious to hear any suggestions. Thanks!
I was hoping to get some advice on places to eat (and anything great to see) on a road trip I'll be taking in a couple weeks. We're driving from NYC to Rapid City/Badlands area SD on I-80 to IL, then I-90 to SD. Going down to Denver for a few days before heading back to NYC, most likely on I-70.
Does anyone have some suggestions on places we need to eat, or sights we need to see, preferably close to the Interstates mentioned above?
Thanks in advance

Awesome shoe!
I'd be lying if i said these were waterproof, super warm, with a super durable sole. But darned these are the best shoes i have ever owned. I wear them most every day, any season, in any weather.
They are comfortable, easy on and off, pack well. I'll be buying these until they are no longer made!
