: Well, thank you. I'm delighted to do it.
CROWLEY: It's great to have you here.
And I want to begin, Mr. Secretary, with the immediate situation in North Korea, which launched a number of missiles this week, and the North Koreans have indicated that there are more missiles to come. Now, back in 1998, I know that you headed up a special commission that warned specifically that North Korea had made significant progress in building missiles that could pose a threat both to the United States and Japan and to other players in the region. What is your sense, as you take a look at the developments this week, what is your sense of the magnitude of the threat that we face from North Korea right now eight years later?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, we know that they are the -- that they have announced that they have nuclear weapons. We know that they have ballistic missiles. We do not at the moment know whether or not they have developed the ability to mate a nuclear weapon with a ballistic missile.
We also know that they are probably the world's leading proliferator of ballistic missile technology; that they counterfeit our money; that they are on the terrorist list; that they sell illicit drugs and one has to believe that they would be willing to sell fissile material if they believed they had a sufficient quantity. So they represent an immediate threat from a proliferation standpoint.
It's unclear -- they have not yet successfully launched a intercontinental ballistic missile and demonstrated that they can reach the United States, although the intelligence people estimate that the TD-2 does have that capability. They just haven't demonstrated it yet. But they're a worrisome country.
CROWLEY: Well, Mr. Secretary, one of your predecessors, the former Secretary of Defense William Perry under President Clinton, recently suggested that we ought to take some preemptive action here, that we ought to think about perhaps blowing some of these long-range missiles right off their launching pads. What do you think about that?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, I read that article. And Bill Perry's a thoughtful person, and clearly one can make that case. President Bush has made a different case. His view is -- first of all, there are no Taepodong-2s on launching pads at the present time. The one they fired didn't work and it failed. They do -- we do believe and they're assessed to have, oh, something like three or four or five additional Taepodong-2 airframes somewhere in their country.
The president believes that the proper task -- approach is to work with the six nations -- the South Koreans, the Chinese, the Russians, the Japanese, the United States and the North Koreans -- and attempt to persuade them that they have options other than being bellicose. Time will tell whether that'll work.
CROWLEY: We're talking with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Mr. Secretary, you mentioned that some of the six-party conversations that we're having here, but it looks like some of these old communists -- Russia and China -- they oppose sanctions on North Korea; they're just as resistant to tougher action on Iran. It looks like the Cold War never really ended; that this is just a continuation of the great game.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: (Laughs.) Well, you know, when you see that, recently, in the last 48 hours, the fact that the Russians and the Chinese have indicated that they're not in favor of sanctions, I guess only time will tell. I think their patience can run out as well, and we'll just have to see. I know that President Bush has been talking to the leadership in those countries, and they may come around yet.
CROWLEY: Well, hope spring's eternal at the U.N. Security Council, Mr. Secretary.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: (Laughs.)
CROWLEY: Let's turn to the situation in Iraq. Can we get this situation there under control to the point where it's stablizable on the ground?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Oh, I think so. I think it'll take the Iraqi government and Iraqi security forces some time to finally squeeze out the insurgency, but they now have over 265,000 security forces. They have a new government that's going to be in there for four years. They've had increasingly -- increasing turnouts for their elections over the past year. They've put together a good Cabinet, and they -- each time the terrorists and the insurgents have tried to stop them they've failed. They failed to stop the elections, they failed to stop the constitution, and they failed to stop the formation of the new government.
So I think they're on a path that can work, and we certainly want to be helpful to them and keep handing over responsibility to them as they increase their capability.
CROWLEY: Mr. Secretary, as you know, because I know you're very attuned to the political situation here in the United States, and it seems as if there is -- there's some increasing pressure to begin a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. That, by in large, is contingent on how developed and how far along the Iraqi security forces are. Can you comment on that?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Yes, indeed. Of course there were votes in the House and the Senate very recently, and they were overwhelmingly rejected when people proposed to set withdrawal dates and timelines and that type of thing.
The president's correct. When the president says: Look, if you set a withdrawal date, the only people it helps is the enemy -- they can just sit there and wait you out --
CROWLEY: Right. That's right.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: -- and I think that the Iraqi security forces are demonstrating increasing capability every month. They are in the lead in a great many places. We're turning over bases to them. We're turning provinces to them. And I have good confidence that over time they're going to be able to manage the security situation in the country sufficiently that we'll be -- we will be able to withdraw our forces and draw them down. But we want to do it based on conditions and based on success, rather than simply cutting and running.
CROWLEY: We're talking to the secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. And Mr. Secretary, last week the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a case called Hamdan versus Rumsfeld -- which would be you, sir --
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: (Chuckles.)
CROWLEY: -- on detaining and trying terror suspects. When you took a look at this opinion, how damaging was that ruling to our ability to fight a war against an enemy this shadowy and this adaptive?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, that's the key question, and I guess time will tell. There's a good deal of confusion about what the court actually said, and I think people are still trying to figure it out. The -- our Justice Department is in the process of trying to come to some conclusions about it.
The one thing we know they did say was that we can work with the Congress to fashion an approach that might very well fit the circumstance we're in.
I mean, this is not an army fighting an army under the laws of war. This is a world that's confronted by terrorist networks that are -- don't wear uniforms, and they don't carry their weapons publicly, and they kill innocent men, women and children. And their goal is to terrorize people and to alter free people's behavior.
And the idea that we need to treat them as though they're stealing hubcaps off the streets of our cities and then have a jury trial and then send them to jail for a month is certainly not going to work. The people down in Guantanamo Bay are people that have been deeply involved in killing Americans and in threatening to kill people, and they're bad people. This fellow Hamdan was a -- one of the drivers and associates of Osama bin Laden.
CROWLEY: That's right.
On this question of how much damage we're actually doing to ourselves here in our ability to fight this war, how damaging are these front-page disclosures of state secrets by The New York Times and other newspapers?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, you know if you have an enemy that is vicious; is determined; that is uncompromising and is -- has demonstrated a willingness to kill tens of thousands of people -- clearly what you want to do is to find ways to learn what they're doing and prevent them from doing it before they kill additional thousands of Americans.
To the extent they are then advised as to what it is we're doing to keep track of them, their lives are made easier. I mean, our goal is to make their lives more difficult - to put pressure on them - to make it harder for everything they do; make it harder for them to move between countries; harder for them to raise money; harder for them to recruit people; harder for them to communicate with each other; harder for them to get weapons. And to the extent people get up in the morning and decide they want to make it easier for them by telling them exactly how we put pressure on them that clearly advantages the enemy and the terrorists.
CROWLEY: We're talking to the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
Mr. Secretary, on that point, how do we -- as an open society and a free society -- how do we fight and win a war in which the other side is driven by religious fanaticism? I mean after all, we are up against a barbaric, ruthless enemy and sometimes I question whether or not we in the United States are prepared to be as ruthless as necessary in order to defeat them.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, it clearly is going to take patience, and it's going to take persistence and perseverance. If you think about it, fighting a big army, a big navy, a big air force is not a pleasant thing to have to do, but we're organized and trained and equipped to do that.
Fighting against terrorists that operate in the shadows and use our technologies against us and have the great advantage of being up against a free society, where the very essence of our lives is that we do not want to be hiding in cellars and giving up our ability to go where we wish and say what we wish and do what we wish -- so they do have an advantage.
On the other hand, we have an advantage. And if you think about it, we persisted throughout the entire Cold War for 50 years, through successive administrations of both political parties, countries all across Europe, and we were able to stay the course and to recognize that that threat was there, and that it would prevail if we allowed it, but only if we allowed it. There's no way we can lose this battle with the terrorists in Iraq or in Afghanistan. The only place you could lose it, if you lost your will here in Washington, D.C.
CROWLEY: Amen to that. Amen to that. And you and I both worked for President Nixon and we understand the damage that that did to our side during the war in Vietnam.
Mr. Secretary, final question for you. I know you take a lot of hits.
CROWLEY: I know that -- and keep good humor about it, too.
CROWLEY: And I know that a lot of the policies you implement take a lot of hits. How can the rest of us -- how can our fellow Americans -- be more helpful to you and to the U.S. military?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, one of the things that people can do is to recognize that the -- you know, these folks are so professional and so dedicated, and they're doing such important work for us, for the people in this country, for our freedom, for our liberty. And there -- we've put together a website called AmericaSupportsYou.mil where people can go on that website and find out what corporations or churches or schools or groups of people are doing to support the troops and to support their families. And of course, we have to remember, their families also sacrifice, and God bless them for it.
CROWLEY: Absolutely. And in fact, that link, AmericaSupportsYou.mil, is linked on my website, MonicaMemo.com, so you can go up there and get more information about it.
Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for your time today, and thank you for your service to the country.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, thank you, Monica. I enjoyed visiting with you. Thank you very much.
CROWLEY: As always. Thank you, sir.
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Okey-doke. Bye.

Charles Town: Fear the Facelift narrowly scores in Presidents Day Handicap
Maryland shipper Fear the Facelift continued her love affair with the racing surface at Charles Town to prevail in a three-horse photo in Tuesday night's $35,000 Presidents Day Handicap.
A 4-year-old filly based at Laurel Park with trainer Donald Barr, Fear the Facelift ($15.20) came from just off the pace under Richard Monterrey to get up by a neck over Flip the Switch, who was a neck in front of Pretty Miss Trippi. Dorothy's Aurora finished fifth of six fillies and mares as the 4-5 favorite.
Fear the Facelift, a daughter of Fear the Cape owned by Barbara Houck, ran the 4 ½ furlongs 51.47 seconds. All seven of her lifetime victories have come at Charles Town, where she is 7 for 11. In contrast, Fear the Facelift is 0 for 7 elsewhere she has raced.

Thank you fatal for this generous opportunity, and good luck to everyone on these boards.
Thats a great idea, and it even got me to sign up and will keep me preoccupied to the point where i have no time to study for exams.
This is the 1st time i have seen any forum give away a gift like this.
Thank you fatal for this generous opportunity, and good luck to everyone on these boards.
This is just awesome, Im sure were going to rake in a lot of active members with this "prize"! haha
Thanks for the support guys. I would also like to have monthly contests maybe a game a month or something. I will work on getting a sponsor who may be able to provide games as it gets a bit expensive, or maybe see if we can get sponsored ads that can pay for the games we give away.
good to hear man, this has turned to one of my most visited web sites .. hopefully we can rake in som new members
Thanks for the great new site and the contest. With all honesty, I have never been all that interested in the console world until I heard about the Wii. I never liked the gamepad and have always been a PC/Keyboard/Mouse enthusiast for gaming. But when I heard about the Wii and it's unique controls, and found that it was not going to cost a mint, it really caught my interest.
I would love to win one here, but I'll go out and buy one after the hype machine has died down and they are more readily available along with the accessories.
Love the site!
I started off as a Nintendo fan years ago. . . but have since been converted to a Playstation junkie. However, this new Wii looks pretty intriguing! Good Luck everyone!
I'll post and post! Awesome prize... ! Thanks
By the way, anyone interested in other Wii contests and sweeps can find them at THE ULTIMATE Wii GIVEAWAY LIST at http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/03/th...giveaway-list/
Sounds great... been hoping to be a proud owner of one of these sooner or later. Good luck to everyone. =)

Created: 08/27/2014 5:49 PM WHEC.com
By: Josh Nichols
It's been a big topic on social media -- reports of what we can expect for the weather over the next few months.
The Buffalo News published an article this week about the Farmer's Almanac report. It says we could see record low temperatures in September and maybe even snow by mid-November but should we really believe all the buzz?
After a wet summer with little extreme heat, there's already a lot of talk about what kind of weather fall will bring.
Recently, a private meteorology firm released a forecast calling for snow in September. It created a lot of buzz on social media, especially when the term polar vortex was thrown about yet again. Just this week, there was even more buzz about the fall forecast when the Farmer's Almanac called for an unseasonably chilly September citing a "secret formula" in making their prediction. All of this buzz left many who study the weather professionally a bit puzzled.
Dr. Scott Rochette is a professor of meteorology at the College at Brockport. He works with known formulas that govern the atmosphere and knows that long range forecasting relies more on using past patterns to predict the future rather than secret formulas. "Patterns tend to repeat themselves. They're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but they do give us some insight into what's happening or what could potentially happen in the future based on what has happened in the past. It's a long standing forecast method.
So, should we worry about shivering through September? Not necessarily. "Events can be correlated but one might not be the cause of the other and that's something everyone needs to remember -- correlation might not be cause or effect."
This summer's weather pattern in our area was very similar to that 2009. That September brought more sunshine than average and near normal temperatures -- no polar vortices.
If our current projections for September verify, we may see more of the likes of what happened here in 2009 and not the kind of extreme cold some may suggest.

By BERNIE WILSON
(AP) SAN DIEGO - Josh Johnson was looking for a team close to his Las Vegas home, and the San Diego Padres were looking for a potential top-of-the rotation pitcher.
The sides quickly agreed on an $8 million, one-year contract that was finalized on Wednesday.
The Padres, coming off a second straight finish of 76-86, hope they're getting the Johnson who was an All-Star with Miami in 2009 and 2010 and not the one slowed by triceps and forearm injuries last year while with Toronto.
General manager Josh Byrnes said the Padres decided that if they could find a starter who had the chance to a difference-maker, they were going to pursue him.
"Here's a guy who led the league in ERA who has been a dominant pitcher," Byrnes said. "We know there's risk in any signing but we're very excited about the upside, what he can bring and now what our rotation can do to deliver us toward our goal. We want to be an October team. We really feel like the evolution of our starting pitching and bringing in Josh, we've taken a big step in that direction over the last 12 months."
The Padres have had losing records in four of the last five seasons and have missed the playoffs seven straight seasons.
Johnson, who had bone spurs removed from his right elbow on Oct. 1, was 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA 16 appearances this season. In addition to his base salary, Johnson would earn a $1.25 million bonus for making 26 starts.
He said the top teams on his list were the Giants and Padres, and that he and his agent jumped at the first good offer.
"Every time you come in here you want to stay here," Johnson said. "The park's great, the city's great, so those two things, that's pretty much what you want. It's a great park to pitch in. That and the staff, and then the team, it's a perfect fit."
While not saying who is going to be the No. 1 starter, manager Bud Black said he envisions Johnson fitting in at the top of the order along with Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross.
"He's done it in the past," Black said. "Obviously he's had some great performances."
Add in Ian Kennedy and Eric Stults, and "We have the makings of a very solid rotation," Black said.
The Padres also expect to get young pitchers Joe Wieland and Cory Luebke back from reconstructive elbow surgery. Casey Kelly also is recovering from elbow surgery.
Johnson led the NL with a 2.30 ERA in 2010. He has a career record of 58-45 with a 3.40 ERA.
"I've seen Josh from the other side, when he was with Toronto, when he was with Florida," Black said. "This guy, potentially for us, brings a lot to the table. We're really, really pumped to have Josh here."
The Padres expect Johnson to be ready to go by spring training.
"I was pretty close last year, just not healthy," Johnson said. "It was tough trying to throw through it and all of a sudden I'm getting these weird pains all the way up my triceps and my forearm's getting tight because of everything going on with my elbow. Hopefully that took care of everything."
NOTES: The Padres will make a corresponding move on the 40-man roster when Johnson's signing is confirmed by MLB. ... Byrnes said Luebke threw to college players at San Diego State on Saturday and did fine.

Alec Bradley Family Blend T11
6 1/8 x 52 - Natural - Box of 20
Awarded an outstanding '94' from Cigar Aficionado, the Alec Bradley Family Blend T11 Torpedo is blended with rare Honduran, Nicaraguan and Indonesian tobaccos rolled in carefully aged Honduran Trojes wrappers. The smoke teams with an ultra-rich and complex, medium-bodied flavor. Another must-try!
My opinion of this cigar is very inconsistent, the reason being is that my first one I smoked had cosmetic issues with the wrapper and as soon as I cut it the shoulder split. The overall taste and smoke was lousy tasted very blah. Now the second one I smoked very good appearance no cosmetic issues and it burn well the the taste and smoke were consistently fresh earthy and slight woodiness.
Every Alec Bradley bought is listed with merit caution!!!! This is about the 5th one I've had out of my Alec Bradley sampler, every one gets worse. I'm never going to buy another Alec Bradley!!
I've smoked several T11s now from a couple different shops and I have to say I have loved all of them. I haven't had any problems with an Family Blend cigars. The burn and draw has always been consistent and the flavors are good with a medium body. The construction is fantastic. I still have several more aging so hopefully they keep getting better.
The draw and burn of this cigar is pretty good, but the high points of this cigar are easily ruined by its low points. One of the worst tasting cigars ever, in addition there was a lot of weird looking spots and blemishes on mine. Please do not buy.

Ramble On: Sometimes growing up means leaving stuff behind
It seems like the hardest thing to do as you get older is realize that you either have or must grow out of certain things and behaviors. I look back on my first few years here in Anderson and barely recognize the guy who was living that life at that time. I have changed so much and so gradually that I had no idea that such a change could have happened so (relatively) quickly.

This is interesting. And Kinda goes with what I've been thinking all along, all the rhetoric. ads/ biased media coverage in the world may not save Obama as it won't change what people are living.
A study by the University of Colorado, which has predicted correctly the winner of every presidential race over the last 32 years, is calling this one for Romney with 320 delegates to a paltry 218 delegates for Obama.

Welcome and Good News!
Conceived as a community of hope, Echoing Hope Ranch is a place where teens and adults with autism can be productive in a peaceful, supportive environment. Our beautiful ranch is now providing residential and day program services near the San Pedro River as well as in-home respite and habilitation in Tucson and surrounding areas and in Sierra Vista, Bisbee and surrounding comm.
Echoing Hope Ranch includes an agricultural community where teens and adults with autism have the opportunity to participate in ranching and farming activities while contributing to adjoining community. The ranch will focus on moving toward alternative energy conscious techniques such as solar and/or wind power, rainwater harvesting and production of our own food in an effort to live a healthier lifestyle and be as self-sufficient as possible. Echoing Hope Ranch is conceived not as an island that isolates the disabled community but as a bridge to the community. Program participants find opportunities to interact with the surrounding community and invite community members to help with the ranching and farming activities. The people living and working at the ranch benefit from fewer large daily transitions which can be difficult for people with autism, and live productive natural lifestyle with healthy fresh food that they have grown.

Xavier vs. La Salle Game Quotes
Feb. 1, 2011
Cincinnati, Ohio | Cintas Center
Xavier head coach Kevin McGuff
about having 27 assists
"The thing I was most pleased about tonight was the 27 assists."
about Katie Rutan
"She spent five weeks out and it is hard to come back and make shots like you did before but she looked really good in practice and tonight it showed."
"Coach told us we had to execute in this game and 27 assists shows that we did. We strive for balance inside and out and we have a great perimeter and a great team in general. It's amazing to watch from the bench."
"Coming back, I was a little rusty at first and every day I worked with the coaches and finally it has come back. And it is a good feeling. Tonight I decided to come out with a better mindset, that I am the best shooter in the gym and I'm going to shoot like it and act like it. It's good that we came together tonight because we're getting close to the end of the season."

New Zealand is one of the world's youngest countries, geographically and culturally.
The islands emerged from the submerged continent of New Zealandia following a shift
in plate tectonics about twenty-five million years ago, and because of its volcanic
properties it has continued to evolve ever since. They were uninhabited by humans
until Eastern Polynesians made a series of migrations: the date is not certain but
they started between 700 and 2,000 years ago. These settlers developed the Maori
culture: few written records exist but it is understood that their civilisation
was based on horticulture and divided into warlike tribes. Around 1500, some tribes
migrated to the Chatham Islands, where they developed the pacifist Moriori culture,
which was wiped out by Maori invaders in 1830.
The first European explorers were Dutch sailors who visited in 1642. Put off by
the Maori, who killed several sailors, they retreated swiftly and no further visits
were made until Captian Cook reached New Zealand in 1769. He mapped the coastline
and thereafter European and American traders and whalers visited the islands regularly.
Settlement did not begin until Christian missionaries began to arrive in the early
nineteenth century. The British Government sent William Hobson to negotiate a treaty
with the Maori in 1840; this confirmed New Zealand as a colony and enshrined Maori
rights to land. The tribes people were very pleased with the colonist initially,
because they brought wealth, but as the number of settlers increased there were
clashes over land and eventually the Maori lost almost all of it. New Zealand became
an independent country in 1947.
Almost all the reasons to come to New Zealand are out of doors, and with a warm,
temperate climate it's always a good time to visit. Whether you're looking for adventure
or nature, or more likely a combination of both, you will find jaw-dropping experiences.
Rangitoto Island, 10 km northeast of Auckland, is a volcano formed about six hundred
years ago, a freakish land of fractured black lava, with the world's largest pohutukawa
forest clinging precariously to the crevices. Northland is a gorgeous semi-tropical
peninsula dotted with gorgeous beaches, the perfect place to swim with dolphins.
South of Auckland, Kapiti Island is home to a variety of birdlife that is home to
birdlife that has become rare or extinct on the mainland, including bush parrots,
bush canaries, bellbirds and a few of the tahake who now number only 250. On the
mainland, Waitomo is a collection of incredible grottoes lit by glow worms: it's
possible to abseil through the caves. In the centre of North Island, Wai-O-Tapu
Thermal Wonderland combines a vast expanse of multi-hued rocks and pools, New Zealand's
largest and most impressive lake of boiling mud and the Lady Knox Geyser.
Skiers and snowboarders will want to bypass all that and head straight for South
Island. Mount Hutt in Methven is widely regarded as the best and most developed
skifield in the southern hemisphere, with a season from June to October. This is
also one of the best hot air ballooning spots in the world, with views up and down
the island. South of Christchurch, in Oamoru, you can see both yellow and blue eyed
penguins within walking distance of the town centre. Nearby, the Moeraki Boulders
lie partially submerged in the sandy beach at the tide line. Their smooth skins
hide honeycomb centres, which are revealed in some of the broken specimens. Further
south again, the Otago Peninsula is a crooked 35 km finger of pasture-land that
offers unparalleled opportunities to view marine life. Royal albatrosses, sea lions,
orca, shag, mutton birds and whales all make their homes on or around the peninsula.
Finally, for undaunted thrill seekers, bungee jumping began on Kawarau Bridge in
Queenstown – you can try it there or at a number of even higher sites around the

Indian phone call scam
Hi I joined this forum as I saw on GOOGLE someone had addressed this issue, I recieved a phone call frm someone with an INDIAN ACCENT saying that Microsoft was contacting me because my computer had malware and was very slow, to cut a long story short I gave trhis guy access to my computer and paid them 180 now I am running to the bank tomorrow to see how much money has been stolen from my account , how stupid can a pêrson get?? does anyone know how I can block them from my computer and get my money back? Thanks and best regards
So do you own a <Mac or a Windows Computer ??
Most banks these days if you can show them as a scam, OR when they do there own invesigation and find it a scam will get ALL your money back from them, so i wouldnt worry too much.
And be more wary in future and DONT TRUST ANYONE asking for ID or bank detail over the phone if it not a company you work with now
MAC thanks Ill go see the bank as soon as it opens, Yes I know I could kick myself, can these guys still access my computer? I put the firewall on it was off
NO they wont be able to acess your Mac. I have had them here in Aust as well, and i run them all the way down talking for 40mins thinking they have access to my Windows computer lol then i yel scammers and they hang up pretty quickly lol
If you had a windows computer, what they do is make you do things that will eventually give them accesss to it, so i wouldnt worry having a Mac
LOL!! What got me was the guy said yes weare from Microsoft and we see your computer is running very slowly, it was and still is!!! And then he said it will take a week for the LIFETIME ANTI VIRUS TO KICK IN this is when I was like UH OH!!! BS BS now when I rethink I can see what a load of crap it was but at the time I cant even remember what I did but I saw their mouse moving around on my screen, and then I gave them all my Credit card Info they could be buying up the entire NET right now, aaaargh
That scam has been running for years. Next time tell them you do not have a computer and that sure cleans the line fast.
If a) your computer is running poorly and b) you'd like to avoid nonsense like this, I'd strongly suggest looking at a Macintosh or (depending on your needs) an iPad as your next computer. You'll find lots of friendly support here.
I'm sure you've already done this, but to make certain they no longer have access to your computer I would change your administrative password or any other information that you gave them to allow access. Turning on the firewall will do *absolutely nothing* to keep them out if they have your password.

Alison Brie on 'Mad Men' secrets and 'Community' spoilers
Posted by Jasmine with No Comments
Check out Alison's recent interview with Metro:
Alison Brie, familiar to fans of TV's "Community" and "Mad Men," has been asked to do a lot of things before as an actress, but never play British. And in "The Five-Year Engagement," the request was a bit more specific than just play British: She had to be believable as Emily Blunt's sister. So, to prepare, Brie immersed herself in Blunt, watching everything she'd done, listening to tapes of her speaking, following her around all day — stalking, basically. Anything to nail a part, right?
Did shadowing Emily so much to get the voice right ever get weird?
It looked like I was "Single White Female"-ing her a lot of the time. (laughs) If someone had taken a picture from across the room, it would've been weird — like her just laughing and talking, and me next to her just [staring intently], whispering what she was saying. But it didn't get weird, no. Not with Emily. Sometimes when we'd all be out, she'd have me do it. "She does a great me!" I was like, "Great…"
Were there moments when you'd say something and she'd ask, "Do I really sound like that?"
No, no. I think she'd more correct me, like, "I don't sound like that."
You have a standout scene toasting the happy couple — and weeping uncontrollably. How much of that was improvised?
It was very collaborative. I remember we got to set that day, and [director] Nick Stoller came up and he was like, "You know, we're not totally sold with what we have in the script for this, so whatever ideas you have, we'll all just kind of work on it today." So there's definitely a lot of different versions of that. There's one with me dancing, doing the robot. It always involved me crying and sort of not being able to get through crying. Nick was like, "What other ways … try to make yourself stop crying!" And apparently the way that I make myself stop crying is talking in a creepy, low voice. Good to know about myself!
You also have a very adult conversation with Emily in which you talk like Elmo and Cookie Monster from "Sesame Street." How long did they make you go with those voices?
Long! We did the scripted version, and then we improvised — I mean, for hours. And Emily and I definitely had the tea with honey just coming in every half an hour or so. I was losing it, and when I lose it and start laughing, I laugh to the point of crying and it's a whole makeup reset, so everyone's like, "Noooo!" Emily would just look at me and go, "Alison, do not cry. Do not cry!" Which would make me laugh more.
The supporting cast is full of NBC sitcom actors, like Chris Pratt, Mindy Kaling and Chris Parnell. Plus Emily is married to John Krasinski from "The Office." Did you all ever gang up on Jason Segel, since his show is on CBS?
No! No, not at all. I think it was a ploy on his part, he kept us pretty spaced out. I didn't have any scenes with Mindy. They didn't have us all together to gang up on him. He kept us apart so we couldn't.
TV updates
Alison Brie also has plenty of small screen work, appearing on the critically acclaimed "Mad Men," which just launched its fifth season, and "Community," which despite its extremely loyal — if small — fan-base is in danger of cancelation.
On "Mad Men":
On creator Matt Weiner saying the show's seventh season will be its last:
"Right, right, right. But I'll believe that when I see it. (laughs)"
On how far ahead she knows about what's coming up on the show:
"Not far. We're in the dark constantly. It's for the best. I would hate to have too many secrets."
On increased anti-spoiler measures behind the scenes:
"People always ask us, like, 'What do they say to you? Because none of you ever spill anything!' And actually now there are confidentiality agreements that have to be signed, but the first few years we didn't sign anything. I don't remember ever signing anything. It was just Matt more would just talk to us and be like, 'It ruins it for the fans. Why would you want to do that? To be on the show is so special and to know these things is so special, and then to watch it for the first time is a great experience, so why ruin that for anyone?'"
On the relief of being back on the air after near-cancellation:
"We've had some very dark months when 'Community' was on hiatus and other things were up in the air. So it's always kind of nice to take a minute and enjoy when it's all working out."
On making plans with the show's status in limbo:
"It's kind of funny to look at the next few months of my life and it's just so much in the air. You kind of tentatively plan everything. 'Well, you could be doing this, but if this happens we could be doing this.' We're all really pulling for it. I feel pretty optimistic about it happening just because that's how I prefer to feel about it. And since there's no way of knowing you might as well be optimistic about it rather than feeling bad about it all the time."
On wanting a new ratings system:
"We have such a strong fan base, if not a large one, and I just think a lot of that doesn't translate into our ratings because a lot of our fans are watching the show online. We have to stop judging our show based on ratings. It's so archaic, the system right now, and I don't know why nobody wants to point that out. It's a conspiracy. (laughs)"
On co-star Chevy Chase's feud with boss Dan Harmon:
"It's just not something that I'm focused on right now. I'm really more focused on getting a fourth season. When I think about the show at all, I'm more just crossing my fingers and focusing all my energy on the pickup."

The human body derives energy from food through metabolism. These life sustaining chemical reactions are designed to regulate and respond to energy requirements and the nutritional status of the body. When the body is in a starved state, lipids from adipose tissue are utilised as the energy source mainly in muscle and the heart, while glucose from the liver functions to regulate the central nervous system. The fed state induces a systemic hormonal response particularly the secretion of insulin in response to glucose in the blood. Insulin, the primary regulator of blood glucose levels and a major anabolic hormone, is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas, regulating the uptake of glucose into peripheral tissues, mainly muscle and adipose while suppressing glucose output from the liver. This serves to provide glucose as a source of energy to all cells while also maintaining blood glucose levels within acceptable limits. Homeostasis of plasma glucose levels is critical to normal body function wherein both hyper (excess) and hypoglycaemia (low levels of plasma glucose) are severely detrimental to health.
The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), originally called Syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome, is a cluster of factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). While there have been frequent modifications to the definition, the main components of the syndrome are insulin resistance, abdominal obesity (as well as lipid deposition in other non-adipose sites) with particular emphasis on waist measurement, glucose intolerance/hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia (especially low High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, increased triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B levels) and hypertension. Epidemiological studies have revealed that the prevalence of MetS is influenced greatly by factors like sex, age, race and ethnicity in addition to the defined criteria. Data strongly suggests that metabolic syndrome is often an immediate precursor of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with central obesity and insulin resistance amongst the primary risk factors.
Diabetes Mellitus is a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotypes of hyperglycemia characterised by decreased glucose utilisation due to insulin resistance, increased glucose production from the liver and decreased insulin secretion from the pancreas. It is classified on the basis of aetiology and clinical presentation into four types of which Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is the focus of this article. T2DM is characterised by reduced sensitivity of target tissues to insulin action (insulin resistance). Later stages include relative insulin deficiency due to pancreatic beta cell loss as these cells go into overdrive to produce more insulin to cope with high blood glucose levels. T2DM constitutes 90-95% of all cases of diabetes and is often associated with obesity, which itself can cause insulin resistance and lead to elevated blood glucose levels. Highlights of epidemiological trends, risk factors, mechanisms, socioeconomic concerns, prevention and public health policy are discussed in subsequent sections.
The consequences of chronic elevation in blood glucose levels, even when no symptoms are present to alert the individual of diabetes, lead to tissue damage. Uncontrolled diabetes can be fatal due to various complications. When blood glucose is poorly controlled over long periods, blood vessels in multiple tissues throughout the body undergo abnormal structural and functional changes resulting in decreased vascular supply to various organs and tissues. This in turn leads to an increased risk for heart-attack, stroke, end stage renal disease, retinopathy (damage to the retina) and blindness and nerve damage commonly in the feet and legs, leading to major infections and amputations. The inability to use glucose for energy needs leads to increased utilisation of stored proteins and fats eventually resulting in severe wasting of tissues and death. Fasting blood glucose levels > 126mg/dL and impaired glucose tolerance are commonly used diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) are used to assess the condition over a longer period especially when patients are being treated with anti-diabetics. The risk factors and consequences are diabetes are summarised in Figure 1.
Type 2 Diabetes once prevalent largely in affluent Western countries is now a global health priority with developing nations being hit the hardest. In the last decade, diabetes has emerged as a major public health and socioeconomic burden in Asia and Asia-Pacific. The Asian diabetes paradox reveals a mismatch between affluence and diabetes prevalence. The International Diabetes Federation has predicted that the number of individuals with diabetes will increase from 366 million in 2010 to 551 million in 2025 with 80% of the disease burden in low and middle-income countries. More than 60% of the world population with diabetes will come from Asia and deaths due to diabetes will double between 2005-2025. While China and India top the world list (Figure 2), the other heavily populated nations of Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand are amongst the top 20 countries in the world for the number of diabetes cases. The prevalence of diabetes in several western pacific islands especially in Kiribati, Marshall Islands and Nauru are very high at ~24%, 21% and 20% respectively. In addition to the number of people with frank diabetes, the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance is high in many Asian countries suggesting the presence of a large pool of people with the potential to develop diabetes. The rapidly increasing rate of diabetes in Asia is associated with a strong interaction between genes and the environment propelled by accelerated lifestyle changes and modernisation. While overall criteria, definitions and risk factors are similar across the world, a wealth of information indicates that heterogeneity in ethnicity, cultures, stages of socio economic development and local public health policies affect clinical presentation, management and prevention of diabetes.
The Obesity Epidemic: Numerous studies in animal models and population studies in human patients have repeatedly shown that there is a strong correlation between obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and its complications. Asia has undergone a tremendous change in demography and lifestyles with greater movement in populations from rural to urban areas, improved socioeconomic conditions, change in diets with higher intake of cheap calorie dense foods high in saturated fat, like palm oil and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in sweetened beverages. The greater availability of processed foods both eastern (instant noodles) and western (burgers and fries) together with sedentary lifestyles has resulted in over-consumption and an expansion of waistlines. The rate of increase in obesity in Asia has been far more rapid compared to other parts of the world. Asian populations especially those of South Asian descent are more prone to abdominal obesity with increased insulin resistance compared to their Western counterparts. Thus, waist circumference reflecting central obesity is a useful measure of obesity-related risk of T2DM especially in individuals with normal BMI values. Using imaging technologies like computed tomography (CT scans) to measure total body fat and specific fat depots it was observed that healthy Chinese and South Asian individuals had a greater amount of visceral obesity than Europeans with the same BMI or waist circumference. This and other studies suggest that Asians seem predisposed towards developing abdominal obesity. In Singapore alone, the obesity prevalence which stood at 5% in 1984 was 10.2% in 2010 and prevalence of T2DM was 11% in 2011. The increasing trend of childhood obesity in Asia, due to overnutrition and underexertion places many young individuals at risk for T2DM in early adulthood. Once considered a disease of the elderly, T2DM is disproportionately high in young to middle aged adults in countries like India and China not just due to obesity but also due to increased stress, depression, shorter sleeping hours and higher rates of smoking all of which are associated with changing lifestyles. In a meta-analysis study, depression was associated with a 60% increased risk of T2DM while smoking was associated with a 44% increased risk of developing T2DM indicative of psychosocial risk factors. It has been shown that structured diet and exercise have clear benefits by reducing visceral fat and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Developmental and Epigenetic Factors: Increased insulin resistance that is not accounted for entirely by fat distribution or obesity has led researchers to investigate evolutionary and genetic differences viz., the �thrifty gene� hypothesis. Intrauterine and postnatal environments can affect the future risk of diabetes via epigenetic fetal programming. Conditions like low birth weight and exposure to undernutrition in utero are common in countries like India where 30% of infants are underweight. These infants are subsequently exposed to calorie rich diets which their genomes have not been programmed for. The mismatch between metabolic phenotype that was programmed during fetal growth and the nutritionally rich postnatal environment puts the infant at increased risk for obesity, insulin resistance and diabetesits. A study in India showed that underweight in infancy and overweight at 12 years of age was associated with increased risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes in young adulthood. Additionally, offspring of women who are obese, have T2DM or have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy are at increased risk of developing diabetes themselves due to several reasons like genetic predisposition, familial lifestyles and in utero exposure to increased levels of insulin which promotes excessive growth in the fetus. In the view of increasing childhood obesity and increasing number of young women with diabetes in Asia, this is likely to create of viscous cycle of diabetes begetting diabetes.
Genetic Factors: Diabetes does run in families, suggestive of a strong genetic component. But teasing apart the causative genes is challenging due to the polygenic nature of T2DM. Although, prior to the age of genome wide surveys, using the candidate variant or gene approach, data from multiple studies identified two genes that act as targets for widely used anti-diabetic drugs, PPARg (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) and KCNJ11 (potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11). In a recent milestone in 2011, a genome wide association study amongst people originating from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) identified six new genetic variants linked to type 2 diabetes in these populations. These findings give important new insight into genetic predisposition to diabetes in this population, which in the long term might lead to new treatments. Further identification of DNA variants across populations will, it is hoped, provide clues to the processes involved in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes. Given the multi-faceted nature of T2DM, it would not be surprising if each patient has an individual �barcode� of susceptibility alleles and protective alleles across many loci. For example, Pro 12 Ala polymorphism of the PPARg gene which affords protection against diabetes and insulin resistance to Caucasians, does not appear to protect Indians. Therefore, it is important to study the same problem in different ethnic groups and such genetic data would be most useful if integrated with clinical and biochemical data.
Mechanisms: Given the complexity of type 2 diabetes at the cellular and molecular levels it is critical to understand the pathways that contribute to this dysfunction of multiple organ systems through basic and clinical research. This would serve dual purposes of deciphering diabetes at a mechanistic level and opening the doors to potential preventive and therapeutic measures. Obesity and insulin resistance at the cellular level involve a host of molecular and biochemical factors all of which are under intense investigation and most of which are not completely understood. Toxic lipid metabolites deposited in tissues not suited to store lipids, like liver and muscle have been strongly implicated in the development of insulin resistance. Saturated fats from the diet are metabolised into these toxic species that inhibit insulin signalling. Another dietary factor that has more recently been shown to disrupt insulin sensitivity, also possibly through lipid deposition, is fructose in the form of high fructose corn syrup present in processed foods and juices. These calorie dense, low fibre diets have influenced the progression of diabetes in Asia. Research has also focused on events leading to loss of function and mass of pancreatic beta cells. While lipotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity are popular theories, the exact cause of this loss is not known. Several studies have also focused on the role of lipids in oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Metabolomics: Mechanisms of disease are unravelled also through technological advances that help uncover mechanisms of disease while simultaneously serving as platforms for the discovery of biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies. Genome wide association studies and mRNA profiling have revealed significant amounts of information but are relatively mature technologies. The analysis of metabolites through metabolomics is a relatively newer and powerful approach to study diabetes both at the systems and molecular levels. Metabolomics measures biological chemicals that result from genomic, trascriptomic and proteomic variability thus providing an integrated profile of biological status for comparisons in health and disease. Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School is on its way to housing a metabolomics facility with the vision of understanding fundamental mechanisms of metabolic disorders like MetS and diabetes.
One of the major metabolomic platforms is mass spectrometry. Given the role of lipids in diabetes and MetS and the increasing number of patients with these disorders, a detailed analysis of cellular lipids is highly valuable. While it is easier to study proteins and carbohydrates, lipidomics is fairly challenging due to the immense structural and molecular diversity of lipids-in the hundreds of thousands according to some estimates- and also the highly specialised technology required to extract, purify, separate and analyse lipids. But plasma, tissue, cell and even organelle lipidomic studies have the potential to identify new avenues of research and improve quantification of disease risk amongst other advantages.
Public Health Policy: Tackling the growing twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes is no small challenge. At the recently held UK-Singapore diabetes and obesity symposium, 2011, engaging discussions highlighted pertinent socioeconomic and public health concerns. These disorders result in the loss of economic productivity due to premature mortality and increasing disabilities which may be more than the direct medical cost incurred especially in low income households in countries like China and India. The lack of subsidised healthcare makes the problem more severe. In countries like India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia there is a lack of good quality public hospitals and lack of drug supplies. There is a flourishing private hospital sector which is curative but not preventive, coupled with a severe lack of primary healthcare especially in low income areas. Additionally, screening and identification of risk groups is weak. Countries like China, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Vietnam have marginally better healthcare but it is also curative. The importance and relevance of �prevention is better than cure� cannot be overstated in the current scenario. There is a need for a greater concerted effort towards prevention of obesity and diabetes through better and more effective public health policies that do not simply remain on paper but are implemented and sustained on the ground. While some countries are beginning to consider changes in their healthcare policies, others like Singapore are already implementing practical measures to reduce incidences of diabetes for example by collaborating with hawker centres to provide people with healthier food options. Clearly these twin epidemics are not just a scientific and medical problem but that which also needs to be addressed by the sectors of law, agriculture and the food industry, business, advertising and education. Making exercise an interesting routine, education of the masses and implementation of measures that make the food industry more accountable are some preventive strategies that could be considered. As fundamental and clinical research advances towards understanding mechanisms of diabetes and obesity, more effective primary healthcare and public policy measures could help reduce this growing threat in Asia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 2004 A U.S. soldier was killed and another was wounded today in a mortar attack at a checkpoint outside Baghdad International Airport in Iraq.
The wounded soldier was evacuated to a military medical facility for treatment, a U.S. Central Command news release said. The soldiers' names are being withheld until their families are notified. No other details of the attack were available.
Military operations over the past week by coalition and Iraqi security forces have netted several suspects believed to be responsible for attacks and violence against the coalition and Iraqi citizens, a coalition military official said today at a Baghdad news conference.
Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, deputy operations director for Combined Joint Task Force 7, said a suspected Answar al-Islam terrorist group facilitator and member of a local cell of the Fadayeen Saddam paramilitary group was captured by coalition forces. The suspect reportedly is the nephew of Izzat Ibrahim al- Douri, who was Saddam Hussein's vice president and has a $10 million bounty on his head as the most wanted former regime member still at large.
Kimmitt said an early morning raid today led to the capture of former Iraqi army Brig. Gen. Abu Ahmed al Tikriti, former director of military intelligence for northern Iraq and the suspected leader of a cell believed to be involved in attacks against coalition forces and Iraqi civilians.
Another man suspected of involvement in planning a suicide car bomb attack on the Samarra government building Jan. 24 was captured Feb. 4, Kimmitt said.
Offensive operations continue by the coalition to kill or capture enemies of the Iraqi people and coalition elements and to gather intelligence information, the general said. In the 24 hours leading up to today's 9 a.m. EST news conference, he reported, coalition forces conducted 13,016 patrols, 27 offensive operations and 10 raids, and captured 106 anti-coalition suspects.
Kimmitt said the coalition's area of operations remains relatively stable with an average of 24 engagements daily against coalition forces, four attacks per day against Iraqi security forces and fewer than two attacks daily against Iraqi citizens over the past week.

The people who actually make the food are very nice, but the quality of food is jsut not that great to make up for their peppy service.

I'm a big SEPTA fan to begin with. This is a friendly snack bar. I take breakfast here before I buy groceries at the Reading Terminal Market. I'm a senior and a pensioner. Therefore the table waiting I really can't afford. The hot cakes are good and the food served on a tray. The restrooms are by key access and they are clean. The price is very fair. The people are friendly. The dining area goes up, like, three or four stories so it has that atmosphere - there's, like, a huge stainless steel sculpture. It's on Blue Line level and an escalator or elevator to the street level I'm happy there 5 stars.

1/2 cup
4 tablespoons
cocoa powder
4 cups
confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
This frosting is delicious! I made a double-layer chocolate cake and then used 1.5 times the ingredients for the frosting, and I had quite a bit of frosting left over! MMMmmm... and it goes great on graham crackers too! (a great treat for your kid's lunch box in case you ahve never tried it - chocolate frosting/graham cracker sandwiches - just like mom used to make!). Five stars! (FYI: I used evaported milk so it wouldn't spoil if left out on the counter, and the frosting tastes great!)
although this icing tasted very good (not really that chocolatey though), I found that it got very hard, especially the second day..I just prefer creamy frosting

Incredible! Why would you ever buy the canned stuff again? I didn't melt the butter, just let it come to room temperature and added 1-2 tablespoons more milk. Will definately use this as my frosting of choice from now on!
This was a really good, chocolately frosting. I needed this to fill thumbprint cookies I made earlier today. I did alter the measurments a bit. I used a 1/2 cup of milk and 3/4 cup of cocoa powder. The chocolate taste was not over powering by any means...it actually gave it sort of a fudgy texture which we really enjoyed. I have made this in the past and substituted brewed coffee for the milk. Thanks for sharing!!
Very good frosting. Be aware, though, that it is quite thick. After cooking it I had to whip vigorously and pour it on the cake quickly. It hardened to a lovely, almost crunchy texture. I had it on yellow cake but it would definitely go well on brownies.
This frosting was amazing. I made some Peanut Butter Cupcakes, recipe found on this site, piped this frosting onto them. They were so delicious. I did add about 2 tbls more milk to get the consistency I wanted.
I was so pleased with this! Because I was using it to pipe onto cupcakes and I wasn't sure how that would work with melting the butter first, I didn't. In addition, I used butter rather than margarine and just three cups of confectioners' sugar. It was light, fluffy, and unmistakably chocolate. I know it would have been darker, more fudgy looking, had I melted the butter, and I'm anxious to try it that way on brownies or a sheet cake.
I loved this icing! I didn't have quite enough margarine, so I used a little crisco to make up the difference and I didn't melt them though, I cut it into chunks and then used the mixer to whip the icing until fluffy. I needed to add a little more milk as it was really thick to spread. The second time I made this I used all margarine and still had to add more milk than specified. This is very good frosting, nice and thick a bit sweet so I added some more cocoa powder to tone down the sugar some. Good stuff, I'll use this again! Thanks!

Group Leader Training and Supervision
Our recent research suggests that the quality of group leader training and supervision is critical for positive outcomes of the program. Leaders involved in our studies participate in training programs conducted by PRP's developers. These trainings may be anywhere between 3-10 days in length depending on the needs of the particular group. During this training, group leaders learn about cognitive theories of childhood depression and social-emotive intervention strategies. They observe and practice curriculum delivery and receive extensive feedback and coaching from PRP's developers and other members of our team. In addition, group leaders participate in group supervision meetings once every 1-2 weeks while they are delivering the PRP intervention.
A recent review of PRP studies indicates that PRP's effectiveness varies considerably across studies (Gillham, Brunwasser, & Freres, 2007). This variability in effectiveness appears to be related, at least in part, to the level of training and supervision that group leaders receive. Therefore, we strongly recommend that individuals interested in using PRP seek consultation or training with our research team or with other experts familiar with this intervention. If you are interested in receiving PRP leader training, please supply your name, contact information, and a brief description of your training needs in the form below so that we might contact you when training becomes available.
