American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE ASADABAD, Afghanistan, April 12, 2006 Combined Forces Command Afghanistan officials now say seven children died and 34 more were injured - some critically -- when rockets fired by al Qaeda and Taliban extremists operating in the area slammed into the Salabagh Primary School yesterday.
An initial report shortly after the attack had six children killed and 14 wounded.
"This despicable act is further proof of the enemy's wanton disregard for innocent civilians," said Army Maj. Gen. Benjamin C. Freakley, commander of Combined Joint Task Force 76.
The children were attending class in an outdoor courtyard when at least one rocket exploded among them, officials said. A second rocket exploded nearby, narrowly missing the courtyard.
The Salabagh School enrolls elementary and middle school aged boys and girls. Three boys and four girls died during or shortly after the blast, officials said.
Immediately, coalition forces and Afghan community members forged together to move the injured children to the medical clinic at the nearby Asadabad Provincial Reconstruction Team camp. Dozens of coalition and Afghan medical personnel treated the injured both at the school and in the clinic.
Gov. Assadullah Wafa of Afghanistan's Kunar province, and Army Lt. Col. Pete Munster, commander of the Asadabad PRT, addressed the people of the province over Radio Kunar within hours of the attack. "We continue to assist Afghan national security forces in removing the enemy from this beautiful country and to assist in providing stability and security," Munster told the public.
Taliban extremists have been implicated or have claimed responsibility for damaging more than 40 schools, assassinating teachers and intimidating school-aged children in the past year.
"These extremists are killing innocent children, and with them, the future of Afghanistan," Freakley said. "However, this atrocity will only strengthen the resolve of coalition forces and the Afghan people to continue its pursuit of the terrorists and build a stronger, more independent Afghanistan."
Al Qaeda and Taliban extremists oppose the education of girls and unrestricted education of boys. This is the most violent attack on a school since coalition forces removed the Taliban regime from power in November 2001.
"I told the people of Kunar we're going to seek, find and destroy the enemy," Munster said after his address. "And we're going to help repair the damage done to this school and this city."
"I think this shows the callousness and the complete disregard for the people of Afghanistan by the enemy," added Marine Corps Lt. Col. Chip Bierman, commander of Task Force Lava. "The thoughts and prayers of the Marines and sailors of this unit are with the children and their families."
Five of the more seriously injured children were flown to Bagram Air Base for surgery and acute medical care at the U.S. hospital there.
"On behalf of the entire coalition team, my deepest condolences to the seven families who lost the lives of their children today, and I wish for a full and speedy recovery of those injured in this atrocity," said Freakley.

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
Toast the Packers with a logo sandwich grill
Green Bay Packers fans show their love for the team in so many ways, whether it's wearing a cheese wedge hat or crafting a man cave to epic Packer proportions.
Now you can toast future Green Bay victories with sandwiches or waffles with the Pangea Brands NFL Logo Sandwich and Waffle Grill, which emblazons the NFL logo of your choice onto your bread.
The clam shell press has a lock down lid for even cooking, and its non-stick plates can be removed -- not that any Packer fan willing to pay $49.99 for one of these would ever consider swapping in some other team...
And as CNET notes in a post about the grill, some teams brown up better than others.
For example, the Oakland Raiders' pirate face logo didn't make the cut -- only the word "Raiders" gets branded onto bread. And right now there appears to be no option to select the Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, St. Louis Rams or Tennessee Titans.

Metal Owl Hooks, Set of 2 1 1
Metal Owl Hooks Saw these advertised in a magazine as bronze, gold, silver. Upon arrival I received one silver and two bronze. I contacted customer service about the missing gold owl. They promptly sent me a new package of the very same three I already had. So now my hair stylist, who loves owls, gets six hooks instead of three! Happy Beautician's Day! These hooks are heavy and a nice size. They don't come with any kind of attachment, you supply your own. They're cute and I think my stylist will love them. February 17, 2014

One Book One County
One Book One County is a community read program for Wells County held in September and October every year. The program is designed to create a countywide discussion by encouraging all residents to read the same book. There are also a number of special events at the library related to themes found in the featured book and potentially an author visit.
2014 One Book One County
The 2014 title is "Where Am I Eating? An Adventure Through the Global Food Economy" by Kelsey Timmerman. Kelsey will be at the Main Library in Bluffton on Thursday, October 9, 2014 from 7:00-8:00 PM.
About the Book*
The local food movement is growing, but not as fast as the global food movement. The United States now imports twice as much food as it did a decade ago. What does this reliance on imported food mean for us, and for the people around the globe who produce our food?
Kelsey Timmerman, author of the acclaimed "Where Am I Wearing?," decided to find out. He traveled around the world on a quest to meet and work alongside the farmers and fishermen who feed us.
He followed his Starbucks coffee to Colombia where he met farmers Starbucks didn't want him to meet, loaded lobster boats in Nicaragua for divers who have the world's deadliest job, discovered that slavery is alive and well in the cocoa industry of the Ivory Coast, shouldered loads of bananas with Costa Rican workers who longed for the good ol' days of banana farming, met apple farmers in Michigan fighting against a changing climate and the global economy, and apple farmers in China who were thrilled to have cornered the apple juice market.
In "Where Am I Eating?," Timmerman explores the global food economy and the issues surrounding it—including workers' and human rights, rural poverty, the loss of cultural and bio-diversity, climate change, and fair trade—through the lives of the workers he met along the way. Timmerman argues neither for nor against the globalization of food, but personalizes the issue by observing the hope and opportunity, and the lack of both, which the global food economy gives to the world's poorest producers. Before you scoop your next batch of coffee into your French press, indulge in a mid-afternoon chocolate bar, or slice a banana, discover how each of your small choices has shaped the lives of a worker thousands of miles away.

Risk Management
Roger Cooke joined Resources for the Future in September 2005 as the first appointee to the Chauncey Starr Chair in Risk Analysis. His research has widely influenced risk assessment methodology, particularly in the areas of expert judgment and uncertainty analysis. He is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on mathematical modeling of risk and uncertainty. His recent research has encompassed health risks from oil fires in Kuwait following the first Gulf War, chemical weapons disposal, nuclear risk, nitrogen oxide emissions, and microbiological risk. His current research interests include structured expert judgment methodologies and uncertainty analysis, and his work focuses on the implementation of uncertainty analysis in policy-related decisionmaking.
Prior to joining RFF, Cooke was professor of applied decision theory at the Department of Mathematics at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. He was on the faculty at Delft for more than 25 years and while there launched a
Risk and Environmental Modeling
master's program. (
Selected publications
by Cooke are available for download from the Delft University of Technology website.) Since 2013 Cooke holds a part-time
position at the University of Strathclyde
, where he pursues academic research and coordinates research projects with Washington and UK based groups.
Cooke has served as a consultant to the Japanese government on disposal of abandoned World War II chemical weapons in China and to the Swedish Nuclear Inspectorate on reliability of piping in nuclear power plants. He also has consulted with the Dutch National Aeronautics Laboratory, the Dutch Gasunie, the Dutch Institute for Public Health and Milieu, Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the German VGB Powertech Central Databank. He recently led a project to quantify the risk impact of new merging and spacing protocols for civil aviation, and he has been named a lead author on the chapter addressing risk and uncertainty in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Deep and Shallow Uncertainty in Messaging Climate Change
Roger M. Cooke
RFF Discussion Paper 14-11 | April 2014
Abstract: Deep and shallow uncertainty are defined and contrasted with regard to messaging the uncertainty about climate change. Deep uncertainty is often traced back to the writings of Frank Knight, where in fact it simply meant subjective probability. Although Knight envisioned a scientifically grounded quantification of subjective uncertainty, deep uncertainty is frequently invoked to disable uncertainty quantification, with attendant problems in communicating and propagating uncertainty through chains of reasoning. These issues, together with science-based uncertainty quantification, are illustrated with recent applications to ice sheet dynamics. The issues of performance assessment and validation are addressed.

Fat-Tailed Distributions: Data, Diagnostics, and Dependence
Roger M. Cooke
, Daan Nieboer, Jolanta Misiewicz
RFF Discussion Paper 11-19-REV | September 2011
Abstract: This monograph is written for the numerate nonspecialist, and hopes to serve three purposes. First it gathers mathematical material from diverse but related fields of order statistics, records, extreme value theory, majorization, regular variation and subexponentiality. All of these are relevant for understanding fat tails, but they are not, to our knowledge, brought together in a single source for the target readership. Proofs that give insight are included, but for most fussy calculations the reader is referred to the excellent sources referenced in the text. Multivariate extremes are not treated. This allows us to present material spread over hundreds of pages in specialist texts in twenty pages. Chapter 5 develops new material on heavy tail diagnostics and gives more mathematical detail. Since variances and covariances may not exist for heavy tailed joint distributions, Chapter 6 reviews dependence concepts for certain classes of heavy tailed joint distributions, with a view to regressing heavy tailed variables. Second, it presents a new measure of obesity. The most popular definitions in terms of regular variation and subexponentiality invoke putative properties that hold at infinity, and this complicates any empirical estimate. Each definition captures some but not all of the intuitions associated with tail heaviness. Chapter 5 studies two candidate indices of tail heaviness basedon the tendency of the mean excess plot to collapse as data are aggregated. The probability that the largest value is more than twice the second largest has intuitive appeal but its estimator hasvery poor accuracy. The Obesity index is defined for a positive random variable X as:Ob(X) = P (X1 + X4 > X2 + X3|X1 = X2 = X3 = X4) , Xi independent copies of X. For empirical distributions, obesity is defined by bootstrapping. This index reasonably captures intuitions of tail heaviness. Among its properties, if a > 1 then Ob(X) < Ob(Xa). However, it does not completely mimic the tail index of regularly varying distributions, or the extreme value index. A Weibull distribution with shape 1/4 is more obese than a Pareto distribution with tail index 1, even though this Pareto has infinite mean and the Weibull's moments are all finite. Chapter 5 explores properties of the Obesity index. Third and most important, we hope to convince the reader that fat tail phenomena pose real problems; they are really out there and they seriously challenge our usual ways of thinking about historical averages, outliers, trends, regression coefficients and confidence bounds among many other things. Data on flood insurance claims, crop loss claims, hospital discharge bills, precipitation and damages and fatalities from natural catastrophes drive this point home. Whilemost fat tailed distributions are "bad", research in fat tails is one distribution whose tail will hopefully get fatter.

Precursor Analysis for Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling: From Prescriptive to Risk-Informed Regulation
Roger M. Cooke
Heather L. Ross
, Adam Stern
RFF Discussion Paper 10-61 | January 2011
Abstract: The Oil Spill Commission's chartered mission—to "develop options to guard against … any oil spills associated with offshore drilling in the future" (National Commission 2010)—presents a major challenge: how to reduce the risk of low-frequency oil spill events, and especially high-consequence events like the Deepwater Horizon accident, when historical experience contains few oil spills of material scale and none approaching the significance of the Deepwater Horizon. In this paper, we consider precursor analysis as an answer to this challenge, addressing first its development and use in nuclear reactor regulation and then its applicability to offshore oil and gas drilling. We find that the nature of offshore drilling risks, the operating information obtainable by the regulator, and the learning curve provided by 30 years of nuclear experience make precursor analysis a promising option available to theU.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) to bring costeffective, risk-informed oversight to bear on the threat of catastrophic oil spills.

Climate Change Uncertainty Quantification: Lessons Learned from the Joint EUUSNRC Project on Uncertainty Analysis of Probabilistic Accident Consequence Codes
Roger M. Cooke
, G.N. Kelly
RFF Discussion Paper 10-29 | May 2010
Abstract: Between 1990 and 2000 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Commission of the European Communities conducted a joint uncertainty analysis of accident consequences for nuclear power plants. This study remains a benchmark for uncertainty analysis of large models involving high risks with high public visibility, and where substantial uncertainty exists. The study set standards with regard to structured expert judgment, performance assessment, dependence elicitation and modeling and uncertainty propagation of high dimensional distributions with complex dependence. The integratedassessment models for the economic effects of climate change also involve high risks and large uncertainties, and interest in conducting a proper uncertainty analysis is growing. This article reviews the EU-USNRC effort and extracts lessons learned, with a view toward informing a comparable effort for the economic effects of climate change.

The Unholy Trinity: Fat Tails, Tail Dependence, and Micro-Correlations
Carolyn Kousky
Roger M. Cooke
RFF Discussion Paper 09-36-REV | November 2009
Abstract: Recent events in the financial and insurance markets, as well as the looming challenges of a globally changing climate point to the need to re-think the ways in which we measure and manage catastrophic and dependent risks. Management can only be as good as our measurement tools. To that end, this paper outlines detection, measurement, and analysis strategies for fat-tailed risks, tail dependent risks, and risks characterized by micro-correlations. A simple model of insurance demand and supply is used to illustrate the difficulties in insuring risks characterized by these phenomena. Policy implicationsare discussed.

Climate Change and Risk Management: Challenges for Insurance, Adaptation, and Loss Estimation
Carolyn Kousky
Roger M. Cooke
RFF Discussion Paper 09-03-REV | February 2009
Abstract: Adapting to climate change will not only require responding to the physical effects of global warming, but will also require adapting the way we conceptualize, measure, and manage risks. Climate change is creating new risks, altering the risks we already face, and also, importantly, impacting the interdependencies between these risks. In this paper we focus on three particular phenomena of climate related risks that will require a change in our thinking about risk management: global micro-correlations, fat tails, and tail dependence. Consideration of these phenomena will be particularly important for natural disaster insurance, as they call into question traditional methods of securitization and diversification.

4.1.14 SOFTBALL: Cavs Take Two From Malone
Softball, 2014-04-01
(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – Walsh swept rival Malone in two close and exciting games by scores of 5-3 and 8-7 on a beautiful sunny Tuesday afternoon. The Cavaliers improve to 15-10 overall and 5-3 in the conference, while the Pioneers drop to 8-10-1 overall and 0-4 in the GLIAC The Cavaliers went down early in both games, but used big innings both times to come back and win.
In the opening game, a three-run fourth inning put the Cavs up 5-3 and they held on for the win. Walsh tied the game on a single by Anna Anderson (So., Wadsworth, OH/HS) through the left side. Riley Kiesling (So., North Canton, OH/Hoover) was pinch running and scored from second on the play. The Cavs later took the lead on a two-RBI single up the middle by Chelsy Testa (Sr., Uniontown, OH/Lake) that scored Anderson and Abby Reusser (Fr., Orrbille, OH/HS).
Casi Rohr (Jr., Massillon, OH/Perry/Toledo) was once again strong in the circle with her eighth win of the season. She gave up three runs, all unearned, on four hits with eight strikeouts against three walks in the complete game.
The nightcap offered more fireworks by both teams as it went down to the last inning. With Walsh up 7-4 heading into the sixth, Malone rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the frame. The Cavs avoided extra innings as Marisa Bondoni (So., Alliance, OH/HS) scored the go ahead run. She reached on a walk and was able to move over on a pair of sacrifice bunts before a single by Anna Fach (So., Massillon, OH/Perry/John Carroll) allowed her to cross the plate.
On top of that, Bondoni arguably had the best day of anyone as she hit her first and second home runs of the season in the second game. Overall she went a combined 4-of-6 with five RBI and three runs scored. Jenna Head (Fr., Mantua, OH/Crestwood) also had a strong day as she too went 4-of-6 with three runs scored
While Bondoni started, Quartni Whited (Fr., Louisville, OH/HS) picked up the win to improve to 2-1 after she pitched the last 1.2 innings in relief.

Hear the bike rap and seven other transportation safety songs
- (Photo: YouTube/ZoomSafer)
The underlying dangers of the road have been more heavily on my mind in the last few days, from the prevalence of drunk driving to the way people break speeding limits to Maryland's new law that'll fine you $70 for just reading a text message while at the wheel. What underlies all these problems is the need for safe behavior on the road and our society's struggle to define what that means. The definition has differed over time ... and people have sought to instruct people on what this means with each passing generation. These rules of traffic etiquette affect everyone from drivers to bicyclists to pedestrians.
In doing so, people have relied on PSAs, of course, but also the joy of song — and there have been some doozies over the years. Let's review some of the best ones.
First, consider the "Bike Safety Rap!" from the 1990s, with a hat tip to Jezebel.
Is this the best way to teach kids about bike safety? I'm not entirely sure, but I imagine it's one of the most fun ways to do so. And at the very least, a video like this gets children to pay attention. "From now on, that's the way, riding safe every day!" a helmet-wearing camp counselor figure raps to a band of young kids, also all in helmets. Tips range from alerting passersby of your presence to listening to every sound. The most important rule: "Wear a helmet every time you ride."
Next up, we have a song that's perfectly fitting in light of Maryland's new anti-texting law — the subject is distracted driving.
Its simple title is "Won't Stop Texting." Lines include "Send your text before you drive, getting to point B safe and alive/Won't start texting, resisting that temptation/Eyes on the road, to my destination/The guy beside me picked his nose, there's a woman with no clothes..." And so on.
Not terrible, right? The tune, courtesy of Marsh Carroll, is definitely stripped down in the style of the Moldy Peaches, but speaks right to our modern sensibilities and new campaigns against distracted driving. I hope U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has heard this one.
This urge to make transportation safety songs is international in nature. Consider the following song, for instance:
And then there's this American song that encourages children to pay attention to traffic signals and explains the purposes of the yellow, green, and red lights.
"And what does a black light mean?" the eerie, suspender-wearing singer asks. "It means you gotta dance, dance, dance!"
Then there's this one...
A self-described "61-year-old white guy" who can't rap or dance, as he says, raps about bike safety, emphasizing the need for night lights. "Riding in the dark may be fun, but riding in the dark is really dumb," he murmurs in a half-rap, half-speaking voice. "Gotta get a night light for your bike, gotta make your bike bright."
Walk to School Day also inspired its musical followers this year. All over D.C., various schools participated and led walks to school this past October 5 as part of an international movement more than a decade old. But how many involved music?
Here, watch these Michigan schoolchildren practice the Ped Safety Dance a month ago in preparation for Walk to School Day.
Sometimes even major bands produce songs with a traffic-safety message to them.
Let's celebrate pedestrian safety again in this one. Here's a song called "Crosswalk" from the cello-friendly band Rasputina, which will be playing at D.C.'s The Black Cat this 2011 Halloween. "I look to the left and right when I'm crossing," the frontwoman for Rasputina sings. What a good message, no? It's pedestrian safety accompanied by cello. Drunk driving also inspires its own medley of songs. Some are professional, serious messages about the harms of intoxication and motor vehicles, others are more grassroots efforts. These tend to be more morbid tunes than some of the other songs.
Here are two young men singing their own song, "Drunk Driving's Really Bad."
Are you feeling safer yet? What we have here is a whole genre of music from the past several years.
These transit safety songs generally combine a spirit of fun with the necessary spirit of road safety and etiquette. Listen for yourself, hear their messages, and make your own transportation music to share with the world. What's your favorite one?

Below is the poem entitled Bloodwoman which was written by poet
Patade. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Karan Patade
When the night comes,
and the world is a away,
the demons step out,
as their corpses decay.
Across Will-street,
lived a mysterious sinner.
A famous voice,
whose faintest whisper made the mighty shiver.
Her long gold locks,
made many a man weak,
till he knew her up close,
where no one could hear his helpless shriek.
Burning lust,
disappeared in her embrace,
then moving swiftly,
dripping blood from her long nails.
She was her daddy's girl, people say,
till she hit him with a gun.
No man could ever escape,
the trap of this woman.
Courage, don't be weak,
don't let your young heart loose.
She is waiting till the night birds call,
she has her sight on the whole town view.
Widows always weep,
the young is red meat,
when she kills all the sinners,
she is the bad woman.
When your daddy is cheap,
you ought to be weak,
but she is not a dying soul,
she is Bloodwoman.

Comments: Very underrated racquet for some reason. If you're thinking about buying a Babolat Pure Drive or PD+,
give this one a try first, you might like it more and end up saving a lot of money. Longtime BPD+ user, I liked this racquet just as
From: George,5/15
Comments: After trying a lots of racquets last year and buying two of those (the Head Graphene Speed MP and
Wilson Blade 104), I finally found my new racquet, which was in fact an old model in a fresh cosmetic. This year, I tried the new
Head Graphene XT Instinct MP and the Pro Staff 97 LS wich are great racquets but the Instinct was too stiff for me and the Pro Staff
has not powerful enough, but had nice touch and feel. For my arm pain and tennis elbow, I decided to try the Prince White LS 100.
What a pleasure! Nice muted feel (thanks to the O3 technology), no vibrations, enough power, nice spin, stable at the net. Almost
perfect for me. I think the Prince Warrior 100 is the same spec and maybe the same feeling. I'm glad that I found this O3 White LS
so arm friendly. Hope this review helps you find your new racquet -- have a nice tennis day!
From: Guy, 4/15
Comments: I switched from a Babolat AreoPro Drive to the Prince O3 White. Babolat is too stiff for my arm. Right
after I used the Prince O3 White, I finally found my racquet. It's so easy for my arm that I can not feel any uncomfortableness, even
when I block heavy volley from 4.5 players. It's very easy to control the balls. I wish I had use O3 White at the beginning when I
first started to play tennis. By the way, I also think this racquet has the best paint job.
From: Jun, 6/14
Comments: As a long time user of the original Prince 03 White MP (8-10 years), I was happy to see an updated
version of the 03 White the 03 White LS. I've demoed a lot of racquets over the past 4-5 years thinking that I needed to replace
my 03 White with something that has a slightly lighter swing weight for quicker responses at the net. Although I've purchased 2-3
racquets over this time period, I always seem to gravitate back to my trusted standby. So, I was pleased (and surprised) to see an
updated version of the 03 White, which now has a lighter swing weight but maintains the same head light balance and slightly
lighter strung weight. I've played with the updated version several times and it's definitely a keeper. The lower swing weight helps
with the quick exchanges at the net, while maintaining all of the original 03 playing characteristics. The added bonus is that the
price of $119 is very reasonable. Strung with Head FXP Tour, 16g, at 58 lbs.
From: Eddie, 6/14
Comments: First my background: male, 42 years old, playing tennis since 3 years after 25 years of rest. Level 4 in
double play. Now playing with Prince EXO3 Speedport Red 105 or Prince Graphite 97 longbody (old one!) both strung with Babolat
Extreme Power. Now looking for a racquet in between: heavier then the red, little more headsize than the graphite. My tennis
advised me to try two racquets: the Prince White LS100 (stringpatern 16x19) and the Prince Tour 100T ESP (strinpatern 16x16),
300 grams. The difference between the two racquets is less then I expected! The White is a very solid forgiving racquet. Enough
power, regular spin/slice, stable on forehand and backhand. accurate in serving. lots of control, sweetspot more then enough.
forgiving racquet when you hit the ball not very well. Volleys better then de speedport or graphite. For most players (< level 4) it is
very good racquet! The 100T ESP feels lighter, frame is about 15% thinner which makes it feel easier to move especially with
This racquet generates much more spin/slice (due to the stringpatern) but is also less forgiving. For double plays I preffer the
ESP but will recomment the White to every player to try this new racquet! It makes you feel you got a solid reliable friend on the

I don't usually cook with meat, so my partner in craziness stepped in to create this very meaty, and tasty, dish. The finished product is deliciously rich and makes a great centerpiece for any family feast.
Step 1: Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients:
-1 medium onion, diced
-2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-4 large mushrooms, diced
-1 tbsp vegetable oil
-100g prosciutto or ham
-pork roast
-6 slices of bacon
Step 2: Prepare stuffing
Chop up the onions, garlic and mushrooms.
Open a bottle of beer to reward yourself for all that work.
Cook the diced onions and garlic in oil in a frying pan on low heat until the onions start to clear.
Add the mushrooms to the frying pan. Splash on a bit of beer and continue cooking until the mushrooms turn brown.
Step 3: Make a prosciutto roll-up
Lay out the prosciutto in overlapping strips, roughly the length of your pork roast.
Spread the onion and mushroom mixture onto the prosciutto.
Carefully roll the prosciutto into a log. Tuck over the ends to keep the stuffing inside.
Step 4: Put it all together
Cut the butcher's string off of the pork roast. Slit open the pork roast but don't cut all the way through. You should be able to open it up like a book.
Place the prosciutto roll in the middle of the roast.
Lay out slices of bacon the length of the pork roast. Carefully wrap the roast in bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Step 5: Cook
Place your porkamacon in a roasting pan and cook covered for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer declares it safe for human consumption.
Remove the lid and pour some beer over the roast before putting it back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven when the bacon is cooked to your liking.

As the country celebrates national water week, the government's plan to increase clean water access to the population took a step in the right direction as a new Frw 1 billion Migera water system was officially launched in Kayonza.
The Migera system includes the construction of a new water supply system, Migera III, and the rehabilitation and extension of Migera I, Migera II and the Rwazana water supply systems in the same area. The project that started in November last year is expected to be finalized by March 2015.
Over 30,000 people are expected to benefit from the project that will give access to clean and safe drinking water for households and small scale farmers in approximately 30 communities. Critical district institutions such as Rwinkwavu Hospital, two health centers, seven public schools, local churches and commercial centers located in the project zone are also set to benefit.
Construction will occur in two phases and unlike in previous projects, three companies have been contracted to carry out the work.
"Usually when one company is contracted, there is a tendency of shoddy work; that's why we expect this to be of high standard," said the governor of Eastern Province, Odette Uwamariya.
Substandard work has been to blame for most of the stalled infrastructure projects in the province with more than 60% of the projects having a life span of less than a year after being set up.
Poor infrastructure maintenance was also cited as a major challenge by the Minister of Natural Resources, Stanislas Kamanzi, who said this must change to enable citizens benefit from such projects.
"Citizens should be sensitized on how to properly handle such infrastructure so as to be able to benefit them for longer periods of time," he noted.
The project is being fully funded by USAID through Rwanda's Integrated Water Security Program, which works to improve the sustainable management of water quantity and quality to improve human health, food security, and resiliency to climate change for vulnerable communities at particular risk of water insecurity in Rwanda
Peter Malnak, the USAID/Rwanda mission director, promised more funding for such projects in the near future.
"The Migera Water System is an excellent example of how USAID seeks to work in Rwanda through projects that integrate across sectors to have meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and their communities, USAID will continue to support projects that bring about a positive impact to communities," Malnak said.

J.A. Henckels opened his first trading outlet in 1818 in Berlin, opening a shop in New York in 1883, followed a year later by Vienna and in 1897 by Copenhagen and Rotterdam.
In 1909 he opened up his first subsidiary in the U.S, followed by Canada, The Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, Italy, France, Spain and China.
In 2008, subsidiaries were set up in Great Britain and Brazil – so it's fair to say Zwilling is a globally recognised brand that has certainly stood the test of time.
Henckels knives are manufactured by forging a single piece of high carbon stainless steel, which is ice hardened to improve stain resistance. This process makes way for improved cutting-edge retention, weight, balance, and reduced opportunity for metal fatigue – giving you high- quality kitchen utensils every time.
View the full range of Zwilling kitchen utensils available from Heal's.
Sorry, there are no products available in Zwilling.

@nithrabooly original poster – moved to start a new discussion:
I am in the process of 're-designing' my website and could do with some help.
I have WC3 validated and apart from the search box that comes up with errors – which isn't (I don't think connecetd)
Two things.
1. Could anyone check the CSS and advsise me if it is okay for cross browsers
2. The Right hand column 'displays' a fraction of a second after the rest and I would like that to load at the same time. Is this to do with the relationship of the Right col Div? and how do I trectify this?
Many thanks

Among the Apple patents that Samsung was found to be so grievously breaching was the one about bounce back in list scrolling. That's patent 7469381 for those who like to keep score at home. Not only is it one that Samsung has been breaching it's one that's going to be very hard indeed to design around.
Which is what makes this from LawPundit so interesting I think:
The essential principle of bounce-back scrolling becomes obvious if you play the famed Atari game PONG which was virtually "the first game" in the early days of the computer and you can still play it online here.
Whenever the ball hits the paddle, that is a "bounce-back" and if it does not hit the paddle, there is no "bounce-back". Apple has essentially stolen this PONG bounce-back invention for the basics of its scrolling patent 7469381, as we see from the court decision in Cupertino, to the tune of $1 Billion.
Now, THAT is professional theft.
Now, of course I do not endorse this accusation of professional theft. I also don't quite agree that bounce back is quite that simple. For of course we have the entire patent system of the United States of America telling us that the two are absolutely not the same thing. Bounce back in Pong is completely different from bounce back in list scrolling. Must be, otherwise no one could have a patent valid in 2012 for something that has been around since 1972. Well, unless the US patent system was definitively and entirely broken and it's impossible to conceive of all those bright people in government using all our money to achieve something as ridiculous as that, isn't it?
But let us just step over to that alternative world where this assertion is true, where bounce back is bounce back. How could Apple have got hold of it?
Hmm, so, where did Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak first work together? Oh, yes, that's right, isn't it? When they adapted Pong from a multi-user game into a single user one called "Breakout". That was work they did for Atari, wasn't it?
Hmm. How different that alternative reality is from the one that we live in. How much smaller the world of ideas about smartphones is. How much more prior art there is over there than there is here.
And where was it Steve Jobs was working when this bounce back patent was granted to Apple? He wasn't at Atari any more, was he?

Spacek on Montreal: "I'm pretty happy to be gone from all that circus"
Jan 21, 2012, 10:04 AM EDT
When Montreal traded Jaroslav Spacek to Carolina for Tomas Kaberle, they didn't know they were doing him a favor.
NHL.com correspondent Ben Raby caught up with Spacek and asked his thoughts on what's going on in Montreal. He was more than blunt and honest in his assessment of the situation to the point where you'll wince (audio).
"I'm pretty happy to be gone from all that circus," Spacek said. "Obviously it's the number one sport in Montreal and everybody's so proud. If the team doesn't do well, like this year, it's always pretty bad. I think the guys hiding right now, they don't even want to go out and eat. It's a big mess."
One of the bigger distractions Spacek pointed to was the language situation with interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth saying, "All that crap with the French speaking coach doesn't help if you don't win the games."
Spacek certainly wasn't nasty in his take, he was honest and it's hard to disagree with him given how things have shaken out this year. Hearing stories like this come out of what's still a toxic situation is fascinating given the gigantic microscope everyone is under to succeed in Montreal.
- gbiscottagecheesefatties - Jan 21, 2012 at 11:39 AM
well… I agree with everything he says so, he's cool in my book
- adirondack77 - Jan 21, 2012 at 12:30 PM
This should not be that shocking. The Canadiens are to Montreal like the Yankees are to New York or the Cowboys to Dallas.
If you can't take the heat, glad you got out of the kitchen.
As to the language issue, while Montreal is a mix of French and English, the province is overwhelmingly French. I'm sure NYers as a whole wouldn't be thrilled if the new manager of the Yankees could barely speak English.
- drewsylvania - Jan 21, 2012 at 12:49 PM
The heat? Do they get fired up when they dive or throw cheap shots?
- spiffy53 - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:20 PM
adirondack, probably the dumbest comments i have read in a long time. no wonder the canadiens are so lousy. the inmates are running the asylum. i am pretty sure New York would want the best coach available. Charlie Manual barely speaks English and the Yankees would hire him in two seconds. and basically, you are saying that in Montreal, the coaching pool should come from 20% of the hockey population? enjoy last place for a long time.
- 4cupsinarow - Jan 21, 2012 at 12:37 PM
As a Yanks fan I could care less if our Manager spoke swahili as long as he knew how to coach/manage the team. Needing a coach to speak French is very elitist. I like my coaches actions and coaching abilities to do all his talking for him… The rest is well all BS sorry to say(just MHO)
- vipod4ever - Jan 21, 2012 at 2:58 PM
more comments like this = no free agents want to come to Montreal
- irishjackmp - Jan 22, 2012 at 11:18 AM
I think alot of free agents don't want to come to Montreal for this exact reason… they just don't say it.
When Danny Briere was a free agent in Buffalo, everyone in Montreal thought it was a slam dunk he would sign there since he was of French ancestry. (I think he was from a few hours outside of the Quebec border though) and he wound up signing in Philly for less money.
- adirondack77 - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:33 PM
spiffy, Charlie Manuel speaks fine English. If you're referring to Jerry Manuel, as in the Manager that at worst ran the Mets into the ground, or at best is known for an epic collapse, I HARDLY believe the Yankees would hire him.
- drewsylvania - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:43 PM
Way to change the subject.
- spiffy53 - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:48 PM
as someone from philadelphia, i can assure you Charlie Manual's English is questionable. just kidding (sort of). he's a good manager. period. and that's THE CRITERIA. the fact that the fans like you, who are trying to add additional criteria for a coach that has zero relevance, is embarrassing. and yes, you are changing the subject.
- adirondack77 - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:48 PM
"Heat" as in intense media markets. Gotta be a big boy to play in Montreal, Toronto (NHL), NY Boston Philly (MLB) etc…
- drewsylvania - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Pretty sure Spacek would be fine with the environment if the team weren't clown shoes from top to bottom.
- adirondack77 - Jan 21, 2012 at 3:54 PM
no, they should hire the best possible coach but the coach should be able to (or make an attempt) to speak the language of the land like Cunnyworth is doing.
No reason to limit yourself to the 20%
- habsman - Jan 21, 2012 at 5:35 PM
Most of the Bruin fans on here have difficulty with English.
- drewzducks - Jan 21, 2012 at 5:43 PM
Could be worse…could be called out as losers by their own players, an afterthought in "their own sport" and be more worried about the stupid language that their coach speaks.
- istallion - Jan 22, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Most of the players speak English don't they? I want my HC to communicate with players not media.

Pretty unbelievable. There are already a few folks in line in front of Apple's 5th Avenue store in New York City, presumably for the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 6. It seems that people just line up earlier and earlier each year.
No word on if Greg Packer (of original iPhone line-waiting fame) will still make it out for the festivities, but nonetheless, this is just plain insane seeing the phone won't even be announced until next Tuesday.
Still, we don't even know when it will actually ship. Perhaps September 19th for the 4.7-inch model and even later for the larger, 5.5-inch variant. I guess we should just be thankful that these people aren't in line for the iWatch. Or are they?

4 Responses to "There are people already in line for the unannounced iPhone 6 at Apple's 5th Ave. store"
Those folks are doomed to disappointment. Apple might ANNOUNCE on September 9, but it's very unlikely the phones will be on sale that day.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
It was the summer of 1967 and The Doors' single "Light My Fire" was racing up the Billboard music charts. The band found itself headlining large venues and even made an appearance on American Bandstand. But one date on the tour schedule might have stood out to front man Jim Morrison more than any other. (Not that he would've told anyone.)
On August 18, 1967, the band played an odd D.C. area double-header: a 7:30pm show at the National Guard Armory in Annapolis, Maryland, and a late night show at the Alexandria Roller Rink Arena in Alexandria, Virginia. It was the only time The Doors played two separate concerts at different venues in the same evening. And, for Morrison, it was a homecoming of sorts.
Today marks the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. Over 200 years after it happened, the incident remains one of the most popular images of the Revolutionary period. That's no surprise. After all, there's a certain romanticism to the story of costumed colonists dumping crates of valuable tea into Boston Harbor.
But, while the Boston protest remains the most famous demonstration against the British taxation measures, it was not the only one. There were protests throughout the colonies and one of the most dramatic played out in our own back yard — Annapolis, Maryland — in 1774.

Regional university towns might benefit from the government's education reforms but regional students will be the ones to suffer says Charles Sturt University vice chancellor Andrew Vann.
His comments come in response to a visit to the Dubbo campus from the Minister for Education Christopher Pyne who said city students would flock to regional centers.
Mr. Pyne told Fairfax Media university fee deregulation would mean regional universities could compete with city universities on price, therefore city students may come to the country because study and cost of living would be cheaper.

Smiths career began in print journalism in the 1950s, with summer jobs as a cub reporter for The Greenville (S.C.) News. After graduating from Williams College, doing graduate work as a Fulbright Scholar at Oxford, serving three years in the U.S. Air Force, and joining three United Press International offices, he started at The New York Times in 1962.
During his 26-year tenure with The New York Times, Smith covered Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights struggle, the Vietnam War in Saigon, the Middle East conflict from Cairo, the Cold War from both Moscow and Washington, and six American presidents and their administrations. Since 1989, Hedrick Smith has also created 26 prime-time specials and mini-series for PBS on such varied topics as terrorism, tax evasion, the environment, and jazz great Duke Ellington.
Smiths best-known work is his The Power Game: How Washington Works (1996). It details the game of politics and policy in Washington DC in the 1980s, and became required reading for freshman members of Congress and even President Bill Clinton.
His newest book, Who Stole the American Dream?, just recently published in September, has been hailed by critics for brilliant analysis of political and economic trends and changes in the U.S. over the past 30-40 years. It delves into the critical patterns of change in Americas last four decades, focusing on everything from gaping income inequalities, the outsourcing of foreign IT workers all from the perspective of powerful elites and heartland Middle Americans alike. Who Stole the American Dream? provides analytical insight that not only allows for discoveries of the past, but also promise for Americas future.
