- Jurisprudence under the perspective of the new media and its effect on the communication of law (2012)
- Despite the law knowledge presumption, Jurisprudence has not always considered the effects introduced by the communication of law in the transition from the print to the electric revolution, using here concepts and ideas of McLuhan´s theory. The use of Internet by Brazilian Courts (on line transmission of trials, the digital process, transformation of courts in source of news on what concerns their decisions) is an interesting example of how the new medium interferes in the substance of the message of law, since the movement of the messages must be considered to understand the epistemological domain of law. New elements are introduced by the new media and interact with the old meanings, concepts and processes of law and of the old media and can themselves bring new conflicts that are relevant to the comprehension of the complete and real dynamics of Law.

Gear Review
Thomas Bloess
Only one that will fit.
My son is only 5 and his torso measured in at 10" and this is the only pack that adjusts that small, so my choices were somewhat limited. I liked all the other bags though, but didn't have a choice. That being said, he loves this pack. All he will be carrying is his bag and some h20 and toys that he may want on the trail. While some might complain that the bottom won't hold a bag, what do you expect from a pack this size? My sons bag fits great in the main compartment with his water bladder. He also has plenty of room for a few toys, or rocks that he collects along the way.
The fit and adjustment on this pack are pretty much the same as you would expect from any Deuter bag, and it will adjust with him as he grows. The materials on this bag are the same as you would find on many top quality bags. I would highly recommend this for anybody looking for a pack for their kid.

LAPORTE, Ind. – For a fourth time this season, the ONU men's basketball team had the opportunity to win a third consecutive game. This time, the Tigers completed the task with a 78-53 road win over Purdue University-North Central (Ind.). Olivet's play was sluggish throughout the first half, only leading by four at the half. But with 50 second half points and defensively keeping the Panthers scoreless for the first 6:10 of the second half, the Tigers moved one game above .500 for only the third time this year.
The entire first half was played slowly by both teams as the score read 12-9 in the Panthers' (5-17, 3-14) favor with 11:40 to play. The Tigers (11-10, 9-8) managed to fight back over the next four minutes to tie the game at 16 apiece and then took their first lead (22-20) with 6:19 to play. ONU would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game, extending their first half lead to six and eventually taking a 28-24 advantage into the locker room.
In the first half, Olivet shot 12-for-29 from the field (41.4 percent), 1-for-7 from the three-point line (14.3 percent) and 3-for-5 from the free-throw line (60 percent). They outrebounded the Panthers 16-6, had seven offensive rebounds, and committed 10 turnovers. Purdue-North Central shot 50 percent from the field, 50 percent from the three-point line and 100 percent from the free-throw line. The Panthers committed nine first-half turnovers and had one offensive rebound.
The Tigers used the break to their benefit as the Tigers completely dominated the first six minutes of the second half. ONU was the only team to score, taking a four-point lead and making it an 18-point lead. By the time Purdue-North Central recovered, the game was out of hand and Olivet was in control. Over the next five minutes, the Tigers built their lead to its largest mark, 28 (61-33) as ONU had only given up seven points to the Panthers in the first 12 minutes of the half. The closest the Panthers came the rest of the half was 18.
Senior Jake Boyce (Lockport, Ill.) led the Tigers with 12 points on 3-for-12 shooting from the field and 6-for-8 from the free-throw line. He added 13 rebounds (career-high) in 27 minutes, good for his seventh double-double of the year and his first since November 28.
Senior Ben Worner (Washington, Ill.) finished with 19 points on 8-for-18 shooting from the field and 3-for-10 from three-point line. He added four rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes.
Freshman Aaron Larson (Tolono, Ill.) finished with 13 points on 6-for-8 shooting from the field and 1-for-2 from the free-throw line. He also had three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes. Senior Torey Laferney (Flint, Mich.) added eight points, three rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes.
Off the bench, Zach Wagner (Roselle, Ill.) had eight points and four rebounds, and Matt Ryan (San Diego, Calif.) had six points and four boards.
David Kelly led the Panthers with 11 points on 3-for-7 shooting from the field, 1-for-2 from the three-point line and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. He added six rebounds in 16 minutes. Allan Barnes finished with 10 points on 5-for-8 shooting and two rebounds in 24 minutes. Alphonse Futch added nine points, four assists, and six rebounds off the bench in 29 minutes.
Overall, the Tigers shot 30-for-66 from the field (45.5 percent), 4-for-16 from the three-point line (25 percent) and 14-for-21 from the free-throw line (66.7 percent). They outrebounded Purdue-North Central 38-18, committed 11 turnovers and totaled 18 assists, with 17 offensive rebounds and five steals.
Purdue-North Central shot 20-for-52 from the field (38.5 percent), 3-for-12 from beyond the arc (25 percent) and 10-for-12 from the free-throw line (83.3 percent). The Panthers had 13 assists, 15 turnovers, seven offensive rebounds and six steals.
Worner has made 175 career three-pointers, good for 10th all-time. Worner is one behind Stan Chismark for ninth (176).
The Tigers will be back on the court Wednesday, January 23, at home against conference opponent Roosevelt University (Ill.) at 7:30 p.m.

This past Saturday was my favorite kind of day: we had no plans, no place we had to be, no major to-do lists—and, at least for someone with my personality and temperament, I am finding days like this are crucial. Spending 24 hours at a leisurely pace, the kind where you stroll around the Franklin farmers market, fall asleep for two hours on the sofa, hold your husband's hand as you walk up and down the block before the sun sets is just the ticket to helping yourself slow down, be still and feel thankful. Seriously, this Saturday was so good, it was almost like being in Hawaii again. Oh and also, there were these quinoa black bean burgers.
I got the idea to make black bean burgers last week and, after pinning five or six recipes that caught my eye, I put together a version that combined their ideas and added some of my own. Using bulk-bin organic beans and quinoa, I had to soak them the night before, but once that step was taken care of, the process was pretty easy: cook the beans, cook the quinoa, saute a heap of veggies and spices; combine everything in a food processor; form into patties; saute or bake and bam! I'll just cut to the chase and tell you: we loved these quinoa black bean burgers.
Price-wise, you can't beat them: for under $7, you get eight homemade patties, some of which can easily be frozen for later. Nutrition-wise, they're incredible: filled with the whole-foods protein and nutrients of beans, quinoa, veggies and spices. And taste-wise: I seriously can't believe non-meat burgers can pack so much savory flavor into every bite. They're even wonderful on their own, sans bun or toppings, eaten like little quinoa black bean cakes, reminiscent of fried green tomatoes or potato pancakes in their crispy exterior and hot, soft insides.
I wonder if it will be strange to tell you that what I think most when I look back at these pictures and this recipe is that I'm thankful? Thankful that these burgers came on a much-needed day of rest wherein I sat still long enough to notice my good gifts—gifts like longer daylight in the month of March, the kind of daylight that expands my days and makes it easier to work or cook or, as on Saturday, go for long strolls in the neighborhood; gifts like my kind and thoughtful husband who goes on those walks with me, who works alongside me, who talks to me about every single thing on my mind and who surprises me with tangible demonstrations of love like homemade chocolate souffles before we go to bed on Saturday night (!).
Because the fact is, I am too quick to forget how much I need to rest. Too quick to think I don't have time for a free day with nothing planned. Too quick to try and squeeze in more work hours, knock out another project, feel the weight of responsibilities no one has mounted on my shoulders but me.
And so, because they came on the restful, peaceful Saturday that I didn't know how much I needed, because they helped me stop to savor the good, because they represent the joy of trying a new recipe with no time constraints and the pleasure of sitting down to eat with the person you share life with every day, I love these quinoa black bean burgers even more than how good they tasted and more than the migraine-preventing, protein-packed power of quinoa or the digestion-benefiting, blood-sugar-regulating abilities of black beans.
The day after I made them, I read Matthew 11:28, where Jesus says to "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." I read that and thought, I am so glad He does.
May you enjoy these–and rest!–as we did, sometime very soon.
Quinoa Black Bean Burgers
Makes 7 to 8 burgers
As is, this recipe is easily vegetarian and vegan (just don't cook the quinoa in chicken broth); by swapping the bread crumbs with a gluten-free option (or omitting them entirely), it could also be gluten-free.
1 cup organic quinoa, soaked overnight, cooked in water/broth
1 cup black beans, soaked overnight, cooked in water
Coconut oil (or other high-heat oil)
1/4 onion, diced
1/2 small green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon tumeric
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Hefty dashes of salt and pepper
1/4 to 1/2 cup toasted bread crumbs (I made mine by toasting sourdough and blending in a food processor with a few dried herbs)
1. Cook beans and quinoa:
Begin by cooking the black beans (I soaked mine overnight, drained the liquid, then cooked the beans with three cups water, 1 cup beans, adding a little salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cover for 45 minutes) and, in a separate pot, cooking the quinoa (I soaked mine overnight, drained and rinsed it, then cooked it with a cup of water and 3/4 cups stock for about 25 minutes). Let cool.
2. Saute veggies:
On the stove, sauté the onion, pepper, garlic, carrot and celery with spices (and salt and pepper) in oil until soft and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
3. Combine everything in food processor:
In a food processor, add the cooked and cooled beans, cooled veggies and some salt and pepper. Pulse until just combined.
Add the cooked quinoa; again pulse until combined.
4. Make your burgers:
Hand form the mixture into palm-sized burger patties and lay on a baking sheet or in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. Remove from fridge, let cool for 5 minutes, then push down each side in bread crumbs, being sure to push down to adhere the breadcrumbs to the burger.
Saute in coconut oil until browned and crisp on each side. Eat on bread as burgers or eat solo like a fried veggie cake.
Baked option: Bake in 400-degree for 12 minutes, flipping halfway.

You are oh so right about the slowing down & resting. I am super bad at it. My husband used to be a good relaxer but I think I might be rubbing off on him :-/ This is just kind of a rough season in our lives since his parents aren't in good health & need help & my dad needs a lot of help since we just lost my mom. But the Lord is so good to strengthen & refresh us for each day. His strength is neverending & for this I am so grateful.
I'm also grateful you posted this. I have some quinoa that I need to experiment with & this looks like something I would LOVE
shanna, i've been diligent lately with the whole soaking process and that crucial step has the effect of making me slow down & think & just simply be. it's wonderful that way, isn't it?
i must confess that i am the exact opposite. on the rare days that there is nothing to do, nowhere to be, obligations to fulfill, i feel out of sorts. i need a PLAN. i forget that He has a plan if i would just be quiet and listen.
thank you for this post, this was perfect, i have all the items in my pantry (it's a SOAKING phenomenon in my house!) and it just might make it on the dinner table this week.
meant to come back to let you know, we made these the following week of this post. we used pearl barley instead and amped up the spices. we fried them on both sides and then baked them to finish. it was lovely. we made enough to last us the week, for lunch or leftover dinners. i've been on a veggie burger kick lately, this will probably make an appearance often this summer!
Love the colors of those veggies! Black bean burgers have been on my to-make list since last summer — must try them now. And I know what you mean about rest — those types of Saturdays are my favorite, and much needed, always.
*Just Fran*
I love the idea of quinoa in black bean burgers. I will have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Mary Martin
Shanna. What a sweet entry. I love your insightfulness, creative recipes, and heart for the LORD! Delightful blog! Missing you Mallon's. Of note, I have been craving Tim's homemade ice cream… I like it even better than Jeni's!!!!
This looks so wholesome and delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Jill~a SaucyCook
The only thing better than a day to do nothing is a day spent living in gratitude with the love of your life….ok, maybe with a side order of yummy black bean quinoa burgers!!
Rest. We are so much alike. I could write you a long letter about my feelings about rest, so maybe I will. (And I can't wait until we can try these burgers!)
These look soooo good…I'm a vegetarian, so this would be a nice option for me while my husband grills hamburgers.
You should probably make these next time I visit.

SECRETARY RICE: Well, I'm pleased to be here in Egypt and shortly in Saudi Arabia with Secretary of Defense Bob Gates. The President asked us to come out to the region to affirm to our allies and friends in the region the enduring commitment of the United States to security and stability and progress in the Middle East. We've had very good conversations about what initiatives we might take with our friends and allies for future security cooperation in these challenging times.
We've also had very intensive discussions about the various political issues facing the region. This morning, earlier at the GCC plus Egypt and Jordan, we had extensive discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, of Iraq, of the situation in Lebanon, and other political issues.
And finally, we've had extensive discussions and just finished discussions with President Mubarak and then with Egyptian officials about the important work that we are doing in Iraq and assuring our friends and allies that the policies and decisions that the President is pursuing in Iraq will be policies and decisions that have, at their core, an understanding of the fundamental importance of a stable Iraq to the stability of this region. And that will be very much on his mind, a priority for him as he looks over the next several months to the report that he will be receiving from General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker.
I think it's fair to say that we have had discussions that are befitting for longtime strategic allies in the region and we will continue to do that. Bob, do you want to add anything?
SECRETARY GATES: No, why don't we just go straight to questions.
SECRETARY RICE: Good. Anne Gearan.
QUESTION: Can you describe, perhaps both of you, what the tenor of the discussions was and how can you describe (inaudible) what the tenor of the discussions was as far as continued U.S. military involvement in Iraq? Have you heard concerns from (inaudible) allies about either (inaudible) worried that the U.S. might withdraw too quickly and cause (inaudible) or conversely, that there is a stabilizing effect (inaudible)?
SECRETARY GATES: This is our first stop, so we have a sample of one, but I think that there clearly is concern on the part of the Egyptians and I think that it probably represents concerns also in the region that the United States will somehow withdraw precipitously from Iraq or, in some way, that is destabilizing to the entire region. And so there were no prescriptions; only the expression of concern that, as we look at the path ahead, that we take into account those concerns. And in turn, we assure them, as Secretary Rice just said, that the President is going to (inaudible) what he thinks is in the best interests of long-term stability in the region in terms of decisions he makes with respect to (inaudible) attacks in Iraq, in terms of U.S. troops.
SECRETARY RICE: And let me just say that was echoed in the meetings this morning, the GCC and Egypt and Jordan.
QUESTION: Would you say, on the same subject, a lot of you heard a lot of concern amongst the Sunni Arab allies about the Maliki government and it perhaps serves as a bridge to Iran and the (inaudible) sectarian government backing Shia. I wonder, did you raise that issue? I know you came here hoping to try to placate some of those concerns, placate (inaudible), raise some of those concerns? (Inaudible)
SECRETARY RICE: There's no doubt that there is concern in general that the Iraqi Government needs to make more progress on the course of national reconciliation which is at the core of an Iraq that is not sectarian and that, in fact, is an Iraq in which all Iraqis can live and prosper. And I think it's no secret that there's been concern that on the political front, progress has not been as rapid as people would have hoped.
But I did sense from -- again, I'll speak first about the GCC plus Jordan and Egypt -- that there was an understanding that there are also responsibilities that Iraq's neighbors have to help that reconciliation take place, a good deal of discussion about what could be done, particularly to encourage Sunni Arabs to be full partners in the efforts at national reconciliation. And I, for my part, did talk about some of the things that we were seeing with the Maliki government, particularly in how the security forces are functioning in a far less sectarian way than before the President's policies were instituted in January.
There was also a recognition that some of the obligations undertaken at the Sharm el-Sheikh neighbors conference needed to be carried out so that, for instance, border patrols that would prevent terrorists from coming in who are hurting Iraqis of all stripes needed to be fully instituted. So I found it an attitude of wanting to engage. One of the partners in the GCC plus Jordan and Egypt actually said, "I think we have the right framework for Iraq and now, what we need to do is to make sure that it's executed." So I found that encouraging and we'll continue to work.
But sure, if there is concern by all, including concerns of our own, that this government demonstrate that it is not going to be sectarian, we think they've made some progress.
QUESTION: We've heard voices from Iranian officials (inaudible) trip, as sort of a diplomatic shot across their back, (inaudible).
SECRETARY GATES: I think this trip is very much just as Condi described it. We are out here to talk about the long term, that the United States has been in this region and in the Gulf specifically for some 60 years. We have every intention of being here for a lot longer. We have some very long-term friendships and security relationships out here. We are here to reassure all of our friends that we intend to carry out those responsibilities and that we will continue to be here.
I think that if those who are opposed to these kinds of relationships see concern, then that -- then that's in the eye of the beholder. But the fact is the relationships, for the most part, long predate the current government in Iran. They, in fact, predate the current regime in Iran. And so I think as much as anything, this is a trip about reassurance and looking for opportunities to strengthen already important bilateral relationships and look potentially for new multilateral opportunities to work together.
SECRETARY RICE: Nick.
QUESTION: You talked about national reconciliation before and we've been hearing that before (inaudible) as well as what (inaudible) Iraq. And Iran Ambassador to the UN -- UN Ambassador to Iraq, (inaudible) piece in The New York Times. So he seemed to contradict yesterday (inaudible).
What exactly did you tell him today that you would like to do in terms of crossing the Saudi-Iraqi border and how would they respond to what perhaps Ambassador Khalilzad had to say?
SECRETARY RICE: Well, I think what Ambassador Khalilzad said was that there are neighbors of Iraq who can do more effectively than they are doing and that by not doing that, they're not being helpful. Look, all of Iraq's neighbors could do more to stabilize Iraq. My point yesterday was that if you compare what you're seeing in terms of Syrian people coming through Damascus Airport, many of whom can't cross borders at other points, including in Saudi Arabia, then you have a marked contrast in what governments are trying to do to stem the flow of foreign fighters. But we all today looked at the obligations in the Sharm el-Sheikh neighbors conference.
Everybody recognizes that if Iraq is going to be stable against what are very difficult circumstances, that everybody is going to have to do more. That more includes better border patrols. I'm very hopeful that the follow-on working groups and maybe even something more permanent than that among the neighbors that might deal with border issues would start to put in place some regimes that could really make it very hard for foreign fighters to cross those borders.
When it comes to financial matters, the neighbors have all said that they want to try to move forward on those issues. One of the points that I made yesterday that was, for instance, on debt relief, the Iraqis and Saudis we hope will soon begin the technical discussions so that that can take place. So there is a contradiction here. Everybody could do more. But I wanted to highlight that it is just simply not the case that the neighbors with whom I spoke today were doing nothing to support a unified Iraq. I think they understand that they have very strong interests there and they're trying to move forward. The Iraqis have a very tough battle against some very determined enemies. What I heard today and what we heard from the Egyptians is that they know, these states know, that if the determined enemies are successful, then this whole region is going to be chaotic. So this is also a matter of national self-interest.
STAFF: (Inaudible.)
QUESTION: For both Secretary Rice and Secretary Gates, you mentioned that there were concerns expressed about a premature or precipitous withdrawal of U.S. forces. Given the political climate right now in Washington, what kind of assurances were you able to give that that wouldn't happen?
SECRETARY GATES: Well, one of the things that I imagined is that it seems to me over the past two or three weeks or so in Washington and while there are still strong advocates clearly of withdrawal and some of them withdrawing very quickly, what I have begun to hear is more and more undertone even from those who oppose the President's policies of the need to take into account the consequences, if we make a change in our policy and the dangers inherent in doing it unwisely. And so I think that we are in a position to say that there is, I think, a growing opinion in Washington wherever you are on the issue of withdrawal that whatever we do next in Iraq needs to be done very carefully, very thoughtfully and with a view to the long-term stability of the region.
QUESTION: Is that a reference to Barack Obama's comments recently?
SECRETARY GATES: No, that's not in reference to anybody's comments in particular.
QUESTION: And where do you see these trends? I mean, they don't appear evident.
SECRETARY GATES: I see them on your networks, in your newspapers and in interviews.
QUESTION: Madame Secretary.
SECRETARY RICE: Yes, Robin.
QUESTION: You have shown in the last few days there is (inaudible) tangible support for some of your (inaudible) in the last few days, you have tangible, concrete, specific (inaudible) for your Gulf allies and Arab allies. Have you, in your meetings today, heard from any of the government's longstanding friends that you point out, concrete, tangible specifics towards the (inaudible) in either the Arab-Israeli dispute in an agreement to join the international meeting this fall or are you planning to do something more specific beyond the general urging of prominent leaders of Iraq who are participating in the reconciliation (inaudible?)
SECRETARY RICE: Well, Robin, I mentioned on Iraq that there is the matter of increasing work on the borders. These borders, by the way, have been permeable for many, many decades, if not longer. And so it's not easy to talk about better border patrols, but people wish to undertake that.
Secondly, I mentioned debt relief and the importance of moving that forward and I would not underestimate the importance of using influence to get tribal and other leaders to be active in the national reconciliation in Iraq. I might just note that we have had considerable success recently in Anbar where tribal leaders have turned against al-Qaida. But this is no small matter. This is a place that a few months ago, all of your news outlets were writing was the heartland of al-Qaida and was lost. And now you're talking about a place where from the bottom up, Sunni leaders in Anbar are turning against al-Qaida and turning toward the creation of a stable Iraq.
So I would not underestimate the importance of using these contacts and influence in addition to the great -- what I think is the emerging patriotism of these people for Iraq to helping the process of national reconciliation.
As to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, I think if you look at the statement, you will see that this is a very forthright statement from the GCC+2, welcoming the President's July 16th statement and the steps that he wishes to take. And we're going to be consulting on how to move forward with the international meeting.
But I will tell you that I found very good support for what the United States is trying to do in the Israeli-Palestinian issue. I found concern but support for what we are trying to do in stabilizing Iraq. I found a complete meeting of the minds on the kind of things that need to be done in Lebanon, and so on and so on.
The concrete support that we're offering to the region to reaffirm our commitment to this region and to its security, I think, is both in our interest and theirs, and so I don't think of this as some sort of quid pro quo. America has interests in this region that are well served by the ability of our longstanding allies to protect themselves against potential threats.
QUESTION: But that doesn't quite answer my question. Did you not get any specific, today, commitment from Gulf countries, Saudi Arabia particularly, that, depending on the President's meeting –
SECRETARY RICE: Robin, I didn't ask for one. Today, as I said to you when we were on the plane, I didn't bring invitations to this meeting. We talked about how to structure this meeting to have the right participation and so that it indeed moves the two-state solution forward. But this was not a time to sign people up to the meeting. That time will come.
QUESTION: Secretary Rice –
MR. MCCORMACK: We can take one more question.
QUESTION: On arms deals –
QUESTION: Mister Secretary, just to follow up on your comment, you said that you're hearing some sentiment in Washington -- of some sentiment in Washington about people who don't want it to come to a quick withdrawal because of the consequences. Does this make you believe that there is greater patience in Washington for this buildup to last longer? And what do you think about that in terms of what the commanders have said lately about meeting the (inaudible) next spring, at least?
SECRETARY GATES: No, I was -- Anne, what I was saying was that wherever there are across the entire spectrum of people, including those who continue to want a quick withdrawal and as well as those who see a more grand process is the understanding that however it's done, it needs to be done carefully and with a view towards consequences; and the need not to leave Iraq in chaos in a way that will be destabilizing for the region.
Does everybody believe that? No. But I think that there is, particularly in the middle and people have had reservations about the President's policy, a growing feeling that whatever we do -- and I'm not talking about the pacing of a withdrawal, but there needs to be attention paid if we -- regardless of if there's a change in the President's policy, on the consequences here in the region.
I mean, I really wasn't trying to make any bigger statement than that, other than the fact that even those who are seeking a quicker withdrawal are mindful that there are strategic consequences. And I think -- so I have felt that we can tell people in this region that there is an appreciation in Washington; that where we move next in Iraq has real consequences, and an appreciation for that reality.
MODERATOR: Last question.
QUESTION: Thank you, Secretary Rice –
QUESTION: On Iran and arms deals, if Iran is currently sandwiched between two substantial American military (inaudible) in Afghanistan and Iraq and that does not contain their regional ambitions, certainly not their nuclear ambitions, why will substantial arms deals to warn Iran's neighbors accomplish that? How much more will accomplish it and what can you say about the arms race that (inaudible)?
SECRETARY RICE: Well, let me reiterate what Secretary Gates said. First of all, long before this Iranian regime, we have had historic interests in this region and we have pursued them through security cooperation for decades now. And let me remind that the Egyptian and Israeli deals are coming to the end of a ten-year cycle, and so we wanted to begin a new ten-year cycle with them. We're working with Gulf states, not just Saudi Arabia but other Gulf states as well about what security needs they have.
Now our commitment to this region has been a commitment to be able to be a reliable partner for this -- the states of this region in meeting their security needs, precisely with in mind -- keeping in mind concerns about various regional military balances and the relationship between various militaries. And we can continue to do that. It is a good thing that the United States, then, can be a reliable partner in making certain that these balances are maintained.
As to the Iranians, the Iranians are pursuing policies that are indeed destabilizing to the region, harmful to our interests and harmful to the kind of Middle East that we want to see, which is a Middle East that would be moving toward greater freedom, toward, therefore, true stability of the kind that I think the Middle East has not seen.
We're confronting that in a number of ways. One is to make sure that when we see Iranian activities in Iraq, we confront them when those activities are harmful to our interests and to our people. We are reasserting, of course, our firm commitment to this region. But it's not against anyone; it's for stability in the region.
And finally, we are, with the coalition of states both inside the Security Council and in a growing force of private entities that are no longer willing to deal with Iran financially, we are putting pressure on their financial system and on their ability to get the kind of investment and credits that they need. People are simply reading the reputational and investment risk of being involved with a country that is in the Chapter 7 category. Being in Chapter 7 is not exactly the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. And I think it was just today that a couple of -- two big banks again announced that they're simply not going to deal with Iran. That brings pressure on the Iranian Government. So we have a multitude of ways of doing this.
Now at the same time, we want to be very clear to the Iranian people that we don't have any disagreement with the Iranian people. They deserve to live in a better society than they do, one that's freer, and they certainly deserve to live in a society that can answer their aspirations. But as long as Iran's activities are as destabilizing as they are, we have to bring pressure on that regime to change its policies.
Thank you. Thanks very much.

Shook Ones: 10 Celebrities Who Had To Publicly Apologize- By Bossip Staff Categories: Multi, News, Originals
Celebrities are always saying things that get them in hot water. Some go too far and have to publicly apologize for their actions. Here are 10 celebrities who had to publicly apologize.
Lil Wayne Lil Wayne took a long azz time to apologize to Emmett Till's family for saying he'd beat the kitty kat up like Emmett Till. They were less than thrilled and he lost his Mountain Dew endorsement.

SEBRING - The chairman of the Greater Kenilworth Neighborhood Watch program said it's already quite a bit of work to get folks involved in helping keep their neighborhood safe and free of crime.
For those involved in one of 58 Neighborhood Watch programs active in Highlands County, or one of 80 programs registered, a state bill that was passed Monday would make several tweaks to the "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law and will also require training programs for neighborhood-watch participants, possibly causing a more concise training process.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee passed the bipartisan bill that would require the state Department of Law Enforcement to develop a training curriculum for those involved in neighborhood crime-watch programs and require local law enforcement agencies to use the curriculum when training watch program participants.
The coordinator for the Neighborhood Watch in Kenilworth, which includes homes on roads connected to Kenilworth Boulevard, said Monday although he doesn't yet know much about the bill, he didn't feel it would help his program. He said the 9-year-old watch program averages about 15 people and doesn't involve patrols, just phone calls to the Highlands County Sheriff's Office or Sebring Police Department when something suspicious is observed.
Although the chairman, who asked his name not be used because of his position as Watch coordinator, said his opinion on it was "at the moment, negative."
"I tell you, it's already a lot of work to do these things," said the chairman, who's over 60 and retired. "It's difficult to say what impact it (the measure) will have. I would have to be skeptical until I get more feedback."
Nell Hays, public information officer for the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, said currently there is a three-meeting training process for Watch members that was established at least 14 years ago. During those meetings, led by Hays, qualifications,responsibilities, concepts, set-up logistics and block captains, a telephone tree and communications and security, burglary prevention, reporting suspicious activities and other observation skills are discussed.
Hays said generally, if there is a homeowners' association, the Watch is set up through it and the agenda for training or meetings is formulated. She said some communities meet once per year, some, like Spring Lake, meet once per month. She said since the bill was just passed, firm plans on how to work with it hasn't yet been set.
"I'll suggest to the sheriff that we see the FDLE's training curriculum, see how it's set up and see what we need to add. I don't think we'll have to take anything out of our training," she said. "The most important thing that I stress to get to the members of Neighborhood Watches is that they're members of a 'Neighborhood Watch,' not 'Neighborhood Intervention.'"
Hays said in Highlands County, the sheriff's office works with the city of Sebring in the Kenilworth Watch, she isn't aware of programs in the Lake Placid town limits and Avon Park has one Watch at the recently-annexed Crystal Lake, led by sheriff's office Commander Jason Lister and Sgt. Brian Robinson.
Mary Meisenheimer, chairwoman of the Sylvan Shores Neighborhood Watch, said the sheriff's office currently has one training meeting per year in the 55-and-over community just outside of Lake Placid. The Watch has about 35 members and she said she's worried the new training requirement may make it harder to get folks to commit.
"She (Hays) gives us advice on what to watch for and if suspicious activities were spotted to call the sheriff's office. But it's hard to get everyone to come out (to meetings); they're older crime-watch members."
In the unincorporated Spring Lake community just southeast of Sebring, the Watch coordinator, who also asked his name not be used, said his community has no patrols and relies on phone calls to curb crime. He said Monday he didn't know details of the new Justice Committee measure and couldn't gauge its impact on the program and as many as 60 members - depending on the time of year - until he spoke with Hays.
"She has not yet informed me of any additional training as long as we're not doing patrols," he said.
Hays said when starting all Neighborhood Watches are provided with training manuals supplied by the National Neighborhood Watch Institute on how to run and maintain strong, cohesive programs. The National Sheriffs' Association in Alexandria, Va., administers the National Neighborhood Watch-USAonWatch Program.
Fred Wilson, National Neighborhood Watch director of operations, said it isn't common to have bills requiring law enforcement training curriculums for Watches, but he was glad to hear of Florida's.
"I think it gets some standardizing and consistency across the board and it's a good first step in making sure we have viable Neighborhood Watches to assist law enforcement," he said. As of 2012, more than 25,000 Neighborhood Watch groups across the United States are currently in the registry.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee bill was proposed by David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs and Senate Minority Leader Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, and comes following the acquittal of Sanford Watch volunteer George Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin.

When designing with high-performance polymers, it's important to understand the nature of plastic materials, their properties and testing methods. Only then can you evaluate the advantages and limitations of a particular resin and determine if it is suitable for your application.
Design engineers new to plastics may find the following discussion helpful in understanding the role this information plays in material selection. This discussion is not exhaustive and serves only as a starting point.
Reliable performance at elevated temperature is often a critical factor to consider. Thermal properties provide guidelines for two important aspects of thermal performance. The first is the immediate softening effect that heat has on the polymer. This limits the ambient temperature to which a plastic component should be exposed, even for a short time. The second is the material's long-term thermal stability. Since exposure to high temperature tends to cause property loss over time, it is essential to understand how long-term exposure affects the properties that are critical to your application.
Heat deflection temperature (HDT) is a relative measure of a polymer's ability to perform at an elevated temperature while supporting a load. At this temperature, a test bar shows a specified deformation under a load of 264 psi (1.8 MPa). It is generally acceptable to use 5-10°C (9-18°F) below the HDT as the maximum operating temperature.
Relative thermal index (RTI) is a relative measure of a polymer's ability to perform at an elevated temperature over time. It is defined as the temperature that can be endured for 100,000 hours in air with 50% retention of a specified property. The values in this brochure are based upon retention of tensile strength. The RTI can be used as a conservative guideline for maximum continuous use temperature. Many applications have shorter life requirements and RTI values for 5,000 hours and 10,000 hours may be available on individual data sheets.
Glass transition temperature (Tg) is the temperature at which a polymer undergoes a significant change in properties, transitioning from a glassy state to a rubbery state. For amorphous polymers, the temperature is usually about 10°C (18°F) above the HDT and generally represents the upper limit for short-term use. Semi-crystalline polymers lose some of their stiffness at this temperature, but can still have useful properties until reaching the material's melting point.
Melting point (Tm) indicates the temperature at which the crystalline regions of a semi-crystalline polymer soften. It typically represents the absolute upper temperature limit for semi-crystalline polymers.
Since most applications have some degree of mechanical loading, it is important to understand how a material responds to load. Design engineers can often modify the load bearing ability or deformation under load of a component by adjusting section thickness. Tensile strength is measured by fixing one end of a test specimen and applying a load to the other end at a specified rate until it yields or breaks.
Tensile elongation is a measure of how much the specimen stretched before it yielded or broke. High tensile elongation indicates a tough, ductile material. Low tensile elongation often indicates a rigid, brittle material. Glass-fiber-reinforced materials generally have low elongation due to the glass fiber, so low values do not always signify brittleness.
Flexural modulus is measured by applying a load to the center of a specimen supported at two points. The modulus is defined as the slope of the stress/strain curve and gives a good indication of stiffness or rigidity.
When comparing materials, the one with the higher tensile strength will require a smaller section thickness to achieve the same load bearing ability. Similarly, the one with the higher flexural modulus will require a smaller section thickness for the same deformation. For some applications, the section may already be at the minimum thickness practical for molding and relative strength may not be a consideration.
Impact resistance can be loosely defined as the ability to resist breakage when struck by an object or dropped onto a hard surface. Izod impact is the most commonly used test to evaluate this property and it can be run both with and without a notch in the test bar.
The unnotched test gives a good indication of practical impact resistance. A value of NB indicates that the test specimen did not break under the test conditions. The notched test indicates the material's tendency to break when a scratch or notch is present. A high unnotched value and a low notched value indicate a ductile material with a high level of notch sensitivity. When designing with this type of material, it is important to allow generous radii on all corners.
Most plastics are good electrical insulators. The proper-ties reported here – dielectric strength, volume resistivity and surface resistivity – provide basic information about a material's ability to function as an electric insulator. Grades that contain high levels of carbon fiber or powder generally are not suitable for these types of applications. When designing a plastic component whose primary function is electrical insulation, you must consider several other important electrical properties before finalizing your material selection.
Weight reduction is a primary driver for many metal-to plastic conversions. Specific gravity, which is determined by dividing the density of the resin by the density of water, can be used to estimate the weight of a component. The material with the lowest specific gravity will produce the lightest component. Specific gravity can also impact the cost of a component. A material with a lower specific gravity will produce more parts per unit weight than one having a higher value.
Water absorption is measured by weighing parts before and after exposure to water for 24 hours. Water absorption can cause dimensional and property changes and all polymers are not affected in the same way. Although low water absorption is generally desirable, special consideration must be given to understanding the effects of water absorption rather than the absolute amount of water absorbed.
Exposure to chemicals can be detrimental to a material's performance and each application should be tested for compatibility with the specific chemicals encountered in use. The ratings listed in this brochure are intended to give a general sense of what types of chemicals are compatible with certain materials and which ones are likely to be incompatible. These ratings are based upon significant exposure and some materials that have a poor rating may be suitable if exposure is brief. Some combinations that are rated excellent may not be suitable for a particular combination of reagent, temperature, stress level and material.
The properties listed indicate the processing temperature range required for each category. Melt temperature and mold temperature may help in the selection of processing equipment. The mold shrinkage values reported were measured using standard test methods and may not relate well to actual components. However, these values are useful for material comparison and can help in determining if a mold used for one material can produce the same size component from another material.
Melt flow rates are included for our amorphous resins and indicate how easily the materials flow. When comparing these values to other amorphous materials, it is important to check that the tests were run under the same temperature and load.
Typical processing techniques are shown for categories within each product family. Most of our products are processed by injection molding, but several grades can be extruded into sheet, profiles and other shapes. Extruded sheet can be thermoformed. Solution processing is used to make coatings and membranes.
The table below lists the test methods typically used by Solvay Advanced Polymers to generate typical property value ranges. Because properties are often referenced by different names, a list of the names most commonly used is also included. For more detailed information on test methods, please consult either the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minneapolis officials say water pressure is back to normal for most residents and businesses after a break in a 3-foot water main flooded downtown streets.
Officials say the water is safe to drink. About a half-dozen buildings near Thursday's break are still without water service. Crews will work through the night to repair the ruptured transmission line.
Around 2:30 p.m., private contractors working on a development project struck and ruptured a line that delivers water to a large part of Minneapolis.
City crews isolated the broken water main, so water pressure has returned to normal. About 14 million gallons of water flowed out of the system.

North Charleston police investigated gunfire in a North Charleston neighborhood this afternoon.
The incident was reported just before 3:30 p.m. outside 5421 Torgerson Ave., which is in the Remount Road area.
Investigators marked nine shell casings in the street.
Police spokesman Spencer Pryor said an occupied vehicle and a house were hit by bullets, but no one was hurt.
A search for the gunman came up empty.
Neighbor James Besly, 56, said he heard several gunshots while he was watching television, then heard a man yell, "I'm gonna kill you, boy."

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
Those Franciscans who professed to observe faithfully the Rule of St. Francis approved by Pope Honorius III in 1223. The observantine movement started in Italy in 1368 and gave rise to various semi-autonomous groups like the Recollects and Alcantarines, who remained subject to the minister general of the Friars Minor. In 1898, Pope Leo XIII in the document Felicitate Quadam abolished all the distinctions, including the name Observants, and gave the Franciscan Order its original name of Friars Minor.

Get lost Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Woodstock: there's a new epic concert in town! It would probably be easier to name who WASN'T at the iHeartRadio music festival this weekend in Las Vegas than try to tackle the luminous lineup. It's seems like every big name in entertainment showed their face at the MGM Hotel to groove to the sounds of bands new and old. Lady Gaga ruled supreme (of course) with a hot show including special guest Sting. But the highlight of her set was the emotional tribute to Jamey Rodemeyer, the 14-year-old Gaga fan who committed suicide last Sunday after being tormented by bullies for his homosexuality. Have a tissue ready.
Some of the bigger acts also included Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez, and we haven't even scratched the surface. Even the Black Eyed Peas took a hiatus from their hiatus to perform! Check out the gallery below to see which of your favorites tore up the stage and lit up the red carpet!

For simplicity and authenticity, chicken marinated in jerk spices and cooked slow over a charcoal and wood fire can't be beat—though if you have a gas grill, never fear, it'll still be amazingly good. Some people find marinades more convenient to use than spice pastes. This marinade is thicker than most. The flavor may strike you as a bit harsh when you first make it, but I assure you, the flavors will mellow as the meat cooks. To increase the heat of this rather mild marinade, add a splash of store-bought or hot pepper sauce or more hot peppers. If you want less heat, remove the seeds and ribs of the chiles before grinding them. This is an excellent marinade for chicken, beef, or pork.–Helen Willinsky
LC Chicken & Dumplings Revisited Note
We're quite, quite content with a plate of jerk chicken and nothing else. Well, but napkins. And okay, maybe some Red Stripe. While we're at it, white rice laced with lime and cilantro, if you please. But in Jamaica, folks are accustomed to teaming smoke-infused, falling-apart-tender jerk chicken with festival. Not festival, though of course an authentic jerk chicken is always worth celebrating, but festival—the Jamaican bread dumpling with the party-in-a-recipe name that's dense and deep-fried and robust enough to sop up any jerk paste that remains on the plate. We gotta say, we vastly prefer the Jamaican duo of chicken and dumplings to the more staid and soggy American version. No contest. Now, about that Red Stripe….
Jerk Chicken Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 2 to 4
- For the jerk marinade
- 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground Jamaican allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 habañero, serrano, or jalapeño chile, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or substitute tamari, which is gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
- For the jerk chicken
- 1 1/2 cups jerk marinade
- One 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into pieces
- Make the jerk marinade
- 1. In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and process until smooth. The marinade will be quite thick. You should have about 1 1/2 cups. (You can store the marinade in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.)
- Make the jerk chicken
- 2. Place the chicken in a large glass bowl or baking dish and dump 1 cup jerk marinade over the chicken. Turn the pieces to coat them completely. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
- 3. Build a low fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to 225°F (107°C). [Editor's Note: For authentic flavor, build a low fire in a charcoal grill with a combination of charcoal and pimento wood and hold the temperature around 225°F (107°C). If you don't have pimento wood, substitute hickory or applewood, or use all charcoal.]
- 4. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down. The marinade will cling to the chicken; that's okay. Cover the grill and cook the chicken, basting frequently with the remaining 1/2 cup jerk marinade and turning every 10 minutes or so, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The chicken is done when the flesh feels firm and the juices run clear when the meat is pricked with a fork. Pile it onto a platter.

Full-back Dumbuya, 25, agreed a deal until the end of the season on Tuesday night after leaving troubled Portsmouth last week.
Now 20-year-old centre-half Essam arrives from the Gills on a two-and-a-half year contract.
Manager Richie Barker brought the duo in after Claude Davis joined Rotherham, while Kyle McFadzean is linked with a move to Bristol City.
Barker told Town's website: "We are delighted to have Connor at the club. He fits the template of players I want to work with. He is young with lots of potential and has a real appetite to learn and improve.
"Losing Claude Davis this week meant we had to strengthen this area of the team and we now have, in my opinion, four excellent central defenders."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A teenage songbird or a bluesy guitar man will claim the 11th "American Idol" crown Wednesday, May 23rd.
Jessica Sanchez, 16, of Chula Vista, Calif., and Phillip Phillips, 21, of Leesburg, Ga., made their final stand Tuesday, each performing three songs for the TV viewers choosing between them. Host Ryan Seacrest was to announce the winner Wednesday.
Rihanna was set to perform on the finale, with Fox promising other "surprise guests" and a reunion of the season's top 12 finalists.
On Tuesday, Phillips earned consistently high marks from the show's judges, while Sanchez faltered on "Change Nothing," the song that could serve as her first release.
The teenager agreed with panelists Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, saying she should have gone more "urban" with her song choice.
Phillips had better luck with his potential future single selection, a slow tempo acoustic tune titled "Home," which the judges said recalled artists like Fleet Foxes, Paul Simon and Mumford and Sons. At one point during Phillips' final performance, the pawn shop worker was accompanied by a marching band.
It was a hit with the panel. Jackson beamed, "I love the song. I love you. I love the production. I love the marching band. Everything about that was perfect."
High school student Sanchez and competitor Phillips dazzled the judges in Tuesday's initial rounds. The panel declared that she won the first matchup featuring song selections by "Idol" creator Simon Fuller, soaring with Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," while Phillips delivered a soli rendition of Ben E. King's "Stand by Me."
"It's like a battle of the opposites," said Lopez. "How do you compare?"
The second round recalled the finalists' favorite previous "Idol" performances. Sanchez reprised "The Prayer" by Andrea Boccelli and Celine Dion from the Las Vegas solo round, and Phillips crooned "Movin' Out" from Billy Joel week. Lopez gave the bout to Phillip, while Tyler said Sanchez took it and Jackson declared it a "dead heat."
The judges flatly rejected "Change Nothing," the lukewarm potential future single that failed to fully showcase Sanchez's vocal prowess. Jackson told her that it "lacked pop flavor," while Tyler declared that it wasn't "the proper song for you."
Sanchez concurred, saying, "Definitely, when I make my record, if I ever do, it's going to be a lot more me."

Great for Cooking!
Coconut Oil Extra Virgin by Sunfood is great for baking and all cooking really - I am a new convert to the coconut oil fad. BUT I love it. I have been trying to fully substitute butter with coconut oil and I am liking the taste and results. EGGS are surprisingly yummy! I have used it in baking as well - When a cake calls for vegetable oil. I will melt down the coconut oil into oil form and mix it in instead of using the veg oil and it is delicious!!
