Starts 50th Running of Daytona 500 in 11th
DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (Feb. 14, 2008) – Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Office Depot Ford, qualified 31st on Sunday, positioning him 15th in the first of two qualifying races known as The Gatorade Duel at Daytona International Speedway. Despite being the only Roush Fenway Racing driver in the first race and only one of three Ford Racing competitors in the race, Edwards managed to wheel his way to a fifth-place finish and an 11th-place starting spot for Sunday's Daytona 500.
The green flag dropped, signaling the start of the 60 lap qualifying event, and Edwards, in the Office Depot Fusion, was scored in eighth place as several cars dropped to the rear. For the better part of the first 30 laps Edwards kept the No. 99 inside the top five – even leading on lap 14. Though Edwards reported that his Ford was "fine," he would not maintain his top-five running position for much of the second half of the race.
On lap 34, Edwards brought the No. 99 down pit road for green flag servicing. Four tires and fuel were prescribed by crew chief Bob Osborne and Edwards was back on the track in 20th place – down 13 spots from seventh, due to pitting off sequence with the lead cars.
Though Edwards' lap times were matching that of the leader, he was stuck on the track without drafting help and unable to gain positions. Edwards ran in and around 20th place for about 20 laps. A caution on lap 55 enabled Edwards to get caught up with the pack and set the stage for a three-lap shootout to the finish.
Edwards took the final green flag on lap 58 in eighth place and charged his way up to fifth position by the time the checkers waved.
For the second time in 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup competition, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was the winner. Reed Sorenson, Ryan Newman, Casey Mears and Edwards rounded out the top five.
Next up for Edwards and the No. 99 Office Depot team is the Daytona 500. The Great American Race is slated for Sunday, February 17 at 2:00 p.m. ET. FOX television and MRN radio affiliates will carry the live broadcast.
Carl Edwards Quote:
(Finished Fifth) – "We've got a really good Office Depot Fusion for Sunday. It's gonna be a fun race and I'm really looking forward to the 500. I had a good time out there today, but lacked the drafting help I needed. Sunday's race is going to be interesting. The tires are gonna fall off and then there are gonna be people that get tires, so it's gonna be a real strategy race. It's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm really happy about my car. It's good."

MMA News
Hendricks Says He Hasn't Had To "Showcase" His Whole Skillset Until Now
"It's a feeling," Johny Hendricks said when asked why he thinks he'll be the man to dethrone UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre this Saturday. "It's that desire, that want. It's something inside of me that you can't explain."
By Christopher Murphy @MurphMMA
If there is one consistency in MMA, it is the regularity with which UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre's opponents have claimed to have the answer to defeat the long-time divisional king. St-Pierre's effective victory over these opponents has been another consistency.
But still, hard-hitting welterweight contender Johny Hendricks says that he is different.
"It's a feeling," Hendricks told MMA Fighting on Monday. "It's that desire, that want. It's something inside of me that you can't explain.
"Here's the thing, you never know when you're going to win, you never know when you're going to lose. That's the beauty of our sport. I believe that this is my time. I've done everything that I can, and realistically, in the last six and a half years, I've only lost once, too. I'm a lot younger fighter (than St-Pierre), and I'm still developing, which I'm very grateful for."
In fact, if you ask Hendricks about his most recent 6-0 run that earned him a shot at the 170-lb. belt, he'll tell you that he has yet to show the fans – and his opponents – everything that he has.
"Here's the thing, is that I don't have to showcase my whole skillset to win fights. I haven't had to. Now this fight I might have to. I have jiu-jitsu, I have wrestling, I have power, I have striking. So where is the inexperience or the lack of something? Everybody keeps saying (it) every fight. 'He's fighting Kampmann, better striker. He's fighting Condit, a better striker.' Where did I win those fights at? Everybody keeps doubting me, and I love that. I absolutely love that."
While Hendricks will look to implement parts of his fighting abilities yet to be seen, one thing that may hinder his success is the fact that he has yet to fight in a main event – which means he has yet to fight in a 5-round fight and with the added pressure of intense focus from the media.
"Man, I've been under the lights since my freshman year in high school," Hendricks said, laughing off the idea that he is inexperienced with the attention. "I wrestled 140 matches in high school I wrestled 140 matches in college. That spotlight doesn't get much more than that. I've been competing my whole life. Who cares about the spotlight? Who cares about all this other crap? I'm facing a man. I'm facing Georges St-Pierre. You see what I'm saying? Experience? I have plenty of experience."
As far as the duration of the bout, Hendricks says he is ready for whatever comes.
"I was pushing myself to the limit every day that I possibly could," he said. "I think, now, I am ready."
Part of that daily grind included regular trips back to Oklahoma State University, Hendricks' alma mater where he trained with top college wrestlers. The stints at OSU have helped so much that Hendricks' coaches say he could stand a shot at trying out for the Olympic team.
"It's hard. Don't get me wrong. It's a brutal grind, a constant grind; but that's what I love about it. It's a grind that you can't get anywhere else, and that's what this fight is going to be. It's going to be a grind. If I have any chance of winning, I have to grind. I have to move forward, and that's what wrestling has taught me through many years. That's why I want to get back to those roots.
"One thing I've learned, if you watch all my fights, I push very, very hard the first two rounds, because I have to win two out of three, right? Well now I've got to win three out of five. So that changed up the way I'm looking for stuff. I've worked a lot on my boxing, a lot on my kickboxing, to not only just go for the kill, but also to set up the kill. That's something that I'm looking forward to, to see how that adapts, see if I can translate what I've learned these last four months into the Octagon."
Of course, Hendricks has a challenge ahead of him before he can get into the Octagon with St-Pierre: cutting down his weight to the division limit of 170 lbs. He says that goal will divert his focus from the media and glamour surrounding the UFC's 20th anniversary in the week leading up to fight night.
"You enjoy the ride, but don't focus on the ride," said Hendricks. "I know it's the 20th anniversary, but that's at the back of my mind. My main focus is on Georges St-Pierre, of course, and right now it's making 170. As soon as I make 170, then that's when all the fun begins."
You can catch UFC 167 live this Saturday from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card will air on Pay-Per-View at 10pm/7pm ETPT with preliminary cards streaming online at 6:30pm/3:30pm ETPT and on FOX Sports 1 at 8pm/5pm ETPT.

Where did you win the fights at? Sure, you beat Kampmann striking.. But you actually won the fight with Condit by takedowns that showcased how beat up you could get from a guy on the bottom..
Yup and he's lucky that fight against Condit wasn't a 5 rounder, you could see the momentum shift in the 3rd.. not sure he would have survived another 2 rounds.
Agreed, I can't deny he landed takedowns, over and over again. But thats the Only reason he won that fight. It pisses me off that he actually thinks he outstruck Condit, or beat Condit in the striking in anyway. Usually I comment on here with much less bias comments, but that statement is just ridiculous. He is getting way to big headed. He won't beat GSP, he has power, but he doesn't have the skill.
He said in the article that he always pushes the pace the first two rounds, because its a three round fight.. He specifically mentioned in the article that he has to pace himself b/c of it being a 5 rounder.. But who knows if it goes 5 rounds?.. Then again, with GSP in a fight, chances are high it will go 5 rounds.. lolz! just hope its a great fight.. The fight I am looking forward to though is Lawler/Rory..
Let's face it, Hendricks will be the new champ. He's explosive and skilled enough to knock out gsp (which he will) but I don't think he will reign for very long. He loves his food and gasses after a few rounds. Time will come when he faces a more technical explosive fighter and there's plenty out there. I'm just ready for a new champ, hopefully he doesn't play it safe after he gets the belt.
The UFC are trying to make out he's some sort of monster because he's knocked a few average fighters out, I think George St Pierre wins this fight easy.
Hendricks lost the condit fight. GSP seems like he's getting a little meaner in these primetimes. His attitude has changed a bit. Wonder if he'll try and finish this fight. Regardless he's gotta watch those punches, Condit has one of the greatest Chins in MMA period. GSP does not. GSP will almost certainly win this fight, but he'd better not tempt fate.
interesting fight forsure but i think gsp takes it. A good strategy for hendricks would be to come out and try to take gsp down the first and maybe second round to get gsp's mind off the left. Hendricks needs to be very stealthy with his power.
Johnny's a smart guy surrounded by other smart guys. He's gonna be ready and will have a good cut. I think Johnny's speed combined with his power makes this a five round high risk affair. Condit shouldn't be brought into this conversation unless your gonna factor he almost kicked Goerges' face off.
This is a great match and I hope they both expose holes but if Johnny exposes a hole he's gonna leave a hole. If Johnny can beat up on Goerges I don't think he'll deal with it well.
If Goerges can stay a step ahead I could see him forcing fatigue on Johnny if he gets stiff. Either a unanimous or a knockout but I'm hoping KO.

Start Date: May 25, 2010
End Date: Sep 30, 2010
Exotic pathogens will be collected from symptomatic target weeds in countries where they are native, evaluated for their potential using standard plant pathology methods, and identified using both classical morphological characters and molecular sequence data. Molecular signatures will be developed for unambiguous identification and detection. Pathogens will be evaluated for the risk associated with intended release into ecosystems containing economically and ecologically important North American plant species. Proposals for release of the pathogen into the environment will be developed for review by the Technical Advisory Group for Biological Control Agents of Weeds, and subsequent development of an Environmental Assessment, declaration of Finding Of No Significant Impact and issuance of federal and state permits for release. Inoculum will be prepared in sufficient quantity for release, hosts will be inoculated in the field and provided conditions that favor infection and establishment. Weather and baseline weed population density data will be collected at each release site. The establishment and spread of pathogens will be monitored in the field by recording disease symptoms on the target weed and verifying identification of the pathogen using classical morphology and molecular diagnostic assays. Damage to target weed populations and environmental factors important in pathogen establishment, efficacy and spread, will be measured. Regional collaborations will be established to restore sites where biological control has proven efficacious toward more stable and sustainable ecosystems. BSL recertified on 9-14-09.

About Debbie Reynolds:
Sixteen-year-old Mary Francis "Frannie" Reynolds, she was discovered by talent scouts when she won the Miss Burbank beauty pageant in 1948. She was initially signed to a Warner Brothers contract, but after a name change to "Debbie" and just two small roles, the studio declined to pick up her contract. MGM, recognizing her talent and comedic flair, then signed her to a seven-year contract.
One of her most famous roles was as Kathy Selden in Singin' in the Rain, starring opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. She held her own, and emerged from the film as one of Hollywood's most sought-after female stars. Ms. Reynolds was nominated for an Oscar for her title role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964) and appeared in a number of television sitcoms and variety shows. One of her most notable contemporary guest appearances was on television's Will and Grace, for which she received an Emmy nomination.
In March 2003 Ms. Reynolds became the first woman presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, honoring her outstanding contributions to Hollywood. She has two children, including daughter Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame, and one grandchild.

We choose our newest Circle de Luz class in the fall from a current seventh grade class at a partner school. From then until high school graduation, we meet with the girls 2-3 times per month to provide dynamic, holistic programming focused on helping them acquire skills and reach their potential. When each girl graduates from high school, she receives a minimum of a $5,000 scholarship to pursue the educational opportunity of her choice. We currently have four Circle de Luz classes, the Class of 2014, the Class of 2015, the Class of 2016, and the Class of 2019. We will select our newest class, the Class of 2020, this fall.
How Can You Support Circle de Luz?
Become a Mija: Before a new class can be chosen, there must be donors, called Mijas (girlfriends), in place to support the scholarship the Hijas receive after their high school graduation. Our goal with each new class is to have 50 mijas which funds 5 scholarships. These women pledge to donate a minimum of $100 a year for six years to fund the scholarship component. Mijas can come from anywhere in the country (our Mijas currently hail from 25 states) and can limit their support to a financial commitment or can complement their monetary gift with volunteering to support the class in other ways.
How do you become a mija? You can submit your Letter of Commitment to the Class of 2020 today. You do not need to make your donation at this time. We will follow-up with you once we've received your letter of commitment. All scholarship donations will be placed in an interest bearing account designated for your specific class of Hijas to provide an even more robust scholarship at graduation. If you have any questions, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Become a member of our Circle de Posibilidad: In addition to the scholarships the Hijas receive after their high school graduation, we support them through meaningful programs for each class two to three times a month. These programs are supported by grants, fundraising, and donations to our Circle de Posibilidad fund. Donors in our Circle de Posibilidad can hail from anywhere in the country, be male or female, or even represent a group or business. Donations made through the Circle de Posibilidad do not require a six year commitment and can include in-kind support. If you are interested in contributing through our Circle de Posibilidad, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We hope you'll consider making an investment in the Hijas of Circle de Luz. With your support, we can radically empower young Latinas to realize the futures of their imaginings.

I was skeptical about taking over a web project for Asitha after his client approached me and asked me to correct a permalinks issue. Asitha had developed a flawless Wordpress site for his client and had advised the client that his permalinks were not working due to his choice of web host due to their limitations. I called Asitha assuming I would receive little to no help or information about the site being a distant competitor and knowing from experience how incredibly busy a developer is, knowing first hand as a developer myself. Contractually Asitha had no obligation to help me, not to mention that when a client switches developers it can really be a hard slap in the face in lieu of all the hours put into the project. I believe Asitha helped me simply because he wanted to help his client in any way he could to finish the project. When all was said and done, Asitha has been correct all along. The permalinks were due to the limitations of the server of the web host the client was using. Asitha answered all of my emails promptly and took my telephone calls. His attitude and his work ethic are admirable and set a fine example for other developers. I would work with Asitha any day of the week. I cannot thank him enough for his hard work, devotion and generosity. Thank you Asitha.

The Department of Political Science was established in 1934 and currently includes thirty-one permanent faculty members as well as a number of distinguished adjunct and visiting faculty. The department, which in recent years has consistently ranked among the top ten graduate political science programs in the country, offers students a broad intellectual approach to the discipline, a long-standing commitment to excellence in both teaching and research, and a lively and collegial intellectual community.
We take pride not just in our high national research ranking and our excellent record in placing graduate students, but also in the fact that our department ranked second nationally in overall graduate student satisfaction in the recent NAGPS National Doctoral Program Survey. These rankings reflect the strength of the department across all of the major subfields of political science, its success in training and placing graduate students, as well as its commitment to providing undergraduates with a challenging program of study.
We aspire to be even better. This requires not only sustaining the successful programs we have in place but also developing new initiatives that will place us at the frontiers of the discipline. Our faculty is currently working on major initiatives in such areas as civil military relations, the importance of freedom, political microincentives, party politics, and the study of globalization.
Undergraduate education is a historic strength in the department. Our program affords young men and women an unmatched opportunity to:
We recognize that most Duke political science undergraduates will not pursue professional careers in academia. Our curriculum develops both an understanding of politics and political life and an ability to analyze and critically evaluate political developments from both an observational and theoretical standpoint. Both our empirical-analytic and normative courses contribute to this opportunity.

Is voter fraud real?
In the last few weeks, a lack of integrity has been written about in this space. Integrity in the electoral process was not mentioned. However, voter fraud has become a popular subject in Lee County, across the state and across the country.
An election is a structured decision-making process used by a population to choose an individual to hold public office. When the integrity of this process becomes doubtful, it begs the question of whether we are maintaining a democracy, or allowing corruption to prevail as in too many other countries around the world.
At the first meeting of the newly-organized Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting on Nov. 3, the third item on the new business agenda was to consider a resolution in support of voter identification prior to voting in local elections. Like many of other votes taken at that meeting, the resolution was approved by a vote of 4-to-3, with the four Republicans voting for the measure and the three Democrats voting against it.
Enough instances of voter fraud have been unearthed that it should come to the attention of lawmakers at every level of government.
Various laws and processes make it easier for those who want to cheat at the polls.
A new study conducted by the Raleigh-based Civitas Institute has shown that the same-day and last-minute voter registration process in North Carolina is seriously flawed. According to the study, the State Board of Elections has ignored criticism of the process (called SDR), including recommendations from 10 counties after they questioned the validity of some registrations and votes. The counties reported that "numerous" undeliverable voter registration cards were returned after the canvass period had ended, but the votes were counted. This shows that SDR voters can avoid the address verification process that others must complete when they register.
Another advantage to would-be cheaters in our state and others is that voter rolls are not routinely purged. Therefore, people's names remain on the rolls after they have moved or are deceased. Outdated voter rolls are not a problem that exists just in North Carolina. In Florida, for example, it has been reported that there are 53,000 deceased voters on the eligible voter rolls, which is about the population of the city of Pensacola.
Over the years, Americans have laughed at jokes about voter fraud. This has been especially true about some cities. Chicago comes to mind. The old quip "vote early and vote often" has been attributed to the late Chicago gangster Al Capone.
Now, voter fraud has spread, and many agree that it is no longer a laughing matter. Apparently, Capone's departure from Chicago didn't stop the fraud. Earlier this year, the Illinois Attorney General's Office prosecuted and convicted two Cook County (where Chicago is located) election workers for violating voter privacy by "supervising" voters as they cast ballots.
Some claim that voter fraud is a myth. Back in his day, that was what Capone said about organized crime in Chicago.
Philadelphia also has become famous for voter irregularities. It has been reported that there were instances in which more votes were recorded in some races than the number of people who actually voted.
When a significant number of people believe that officials have not been duly elected to office, there can be an upheaval — as is happening in some mid-eastern countries today. It isn't inconceivable that this could happen in the U.S.
We hope lawmakers at all levels of government will give the integrity of the electoral process the attention it needs.

Kentucky quarterback Morgan Newton will have a little brother on the team next year.
Langston Newton, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive tackle out of Carmel (Ind.), has committed to Kentucky as part of the signing class of 2012. Morgan is a junior quarterback for the Wildcats.
The older Newton brother was named Mr. Football for the state of Indiana in 2008 at Carmel.
"They are a pretty close-knit family so that might seem like the perfect scenario," Carmel coach Kevin Wright told The Indianapolis Star. "But I know Langston is his own person and he had an offer from Ohio State in track and field. It was interesting to see how it went back and forth through the summer on what he wanted to do."
Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Florida International, Indiana, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Purdue and Western Kentucky also had extended scholarship offers to the younger Newton.

Hands-on Gear Review
Compare running shoes ratings side-by-side >
Street Price: $147 | Compare prices at 1 resellers
Pros: Ridiculous out-of-box comfort, no break-in period, silly upper comfort, high stability
Cons: Low responsiveness, durability and breathability
Best Uses: Road running for over-pronators
Through the years we've seen how many awards the GEL-Kayano has won and the critical acclaim it has received. We weren't let down when we first took the Kayano 20 out for a test run. Now we truly understand the extent of how great this shoe is. For a stability shoe, it's light and comfortable, and we definitely notice it once it is on foot. Many shoes need a few miles to break them in, but this shoe was by far the most comfortable road shoe we tested straight out of the box thanks to the GEL cushioning.
Compare top rated competitors side-by-side >
OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
This is the lightest as well as most comfortable of the stability shoes we tested.
Performance Comparison
We clearly feel that this shoe gives us a slower stride turnover and is less responsive when compared to some of the other stability shoes we tested, such as the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 14. We believe this might be in part due to the super cushy landing, which creates the lack of responsiveness and the lack of a "pop" feeling we notice in other shoes, like the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 3.
Landing Comfort
The landing comfort is tip top. We rated this shoe the second comfiest shoe of the group, behind the Brooks Ghost 6 by a very slim margin. To attain this near perfect cushioning, Asics uses their patented GEL cushioning system in the rearfoot and forefoot along with their FluidRide technology. The new FluidRide is an upgrade to the 20. Those who plan to do a fair amount of walking, standing or other daily activities in their running shoe should know that we feel this runner is perfect for that as well. Also, it's the only shoe in our test group to be awarded the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.
Upper Comfort
This has the highest score in upper comfort. Asics decided to go all out to make sure it has better upper comfort than any other shoe out there. This shoe comes with two layers of memory foam that secure your heel and individualize the fit. Asics coins it as their Personalized Heel Fit. We notice the fitted upper being perfectly snug and wrapping around the foot nicely. This fit might be too snug for those with wide feet, though there are other widths available.
We give the 20 the second highest stability score of all the shoes we tested. Asics uses their DuoMax technology for the medial posting, which is a dual density foam that increases support and stability. It's a very well balanced stability shoe. Based on our ratings, the stability to weight ratio is higher in this shoe than any other shoe in the group. If you're wanting something with less support but an even more comfortable landing, give the neutral Brooks Ghost 6 review a glance.
Asics uses a stretchable mesh for the upper in the 20. In our test runs we noticed below average breathability when compared to the rest of shoes in the group. Our feet usually finish a run warmer and sweatier in these shoes. We believe Asics took precedence in upper comfort over breathability with this design.
This is the lightest stability shoe we reviewed and third lightest of the whole group weighing, in at 10.9 oz. It uses a lighter weight midsole material than traditional EVA and SpEVA called Solyte. Though lighter, Solyte maintains the cushioning and durability that the heavier midsole materials have. Another way Asics cuts down on weight is by using what they call their Space Trusstic System. Typically trussics are thick and sturdy to provide extra support while preventing torsion, and also "shoring" up the gap between the forefoot and heel. Asics uses a lighter and low profile design in the Kayano 20, which we find to be effective.
Based on our testing, we feel it does not have as good durability when compared to many of the other shoes. After just over 50 miles logged in the 20, we started noticing wear in the forefoot of the shoe. Asics claims to use High Abrasion Rubber in the outsole of the heel, but we don't believe they specify if they use the same on the forefoot. We're guessing not, since the heel looks just fine with minimal wear. If you're looking for the most durable shoe we tested, check out our review of the Mizuno Wave Prophecy 3.
Old vs. New Versions
Logging miles in both the Gel-Kayano 19 and 20, we feel there are a few considerable differences worth noting. First and foremost, the 20 does not have as high out-of-box comfort as the 19. Though, in relation to the rest of the group, the 20 still takes the cake for highest out-of-box comfort. After four or five runs the two versions end up feeling similar, though we do prefer the overall ride and comfort of the 19. Also, we prefer the color scheme and design of the 19.
Best Application
This shoe best serves over-pronating road runners and walkers who want an extremely comfortable and supportive shoe in one package. The Kayano 20 also make a good choice for heavier runners or walkers.
At $145-$160 the Kayano 20 is more expensive than you were likely hoping for, but we don't think you'll be disappointed.
The first thing that comes to mind when reflecting on the 20 is luxurious landing and upper comfort. We also notice quite a bit of positive user feedback from heavier runners.

Senator Cantwell released her list (see below) of transportation project earmark requests submitted to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Note that this does NOT guarantee an earmark. The Committee will receive far more earmark requests from Senators than there is funding available. Also, Congress has not yet finalized the funding levels for FY 2011.
Still, it's good news for project sponsors as the submittals indicate the projects are liked and passed the first screening.
See Senator Cantwell's web-page for a longer description of each project, and here's a summary:
2011 Cantwell Submits to Committee

Let me second Ted Bromund's praise for Noah Pollak's extraordinary essay on the liberal desertion of Israel — and offer a comment on Ted's suggestion that the retreat dates from the 1967 war rather than the failure of the 1993 Oslo peace process.
In 1992, Ruth Wisse published a landmark book, entitled If I Am Not for Myself … The Liberal Betrayal of the Jews, in which she argued that the attempt by Jews to prove themselves moral behind the banner of liberalism could not succeed but that liberalism itself would "assuredly be judged by whether it can protect the Jews." A year later, the peace process began with the famous White House handshake between Israel's prime minister and the head of a terrorist group.
It was a liberal dream come true – the "peace of the brave," as future Nobel Peace Prize winner Yasir Arafat would repeatedly call it, requiring only sufficient courage by Israel to take the risks necessary to produce it. To those skeptical about turning over land to an organization devoted to Israel's destruction, Amos Oz observed that one made peace with one's enemies, not with one's friends. It was considered a brilliant response.
Seven years later, Arafat was offered a Palestinian state on substantially all the West Bank and Gaza, with a capital in Jerusalem — and turned it down in favor of a new terror war. Reflecting later on the Oslo accords, Professor Wisse observed that they had "made Israel the first sovereign nation in memory to arm its declared enemy with the expectation of gaining security." Five years later, Israel would do it all over again, turning over Gaza to its enemies after removing every settler and soldier, in the expectation of gaining (in Ehud Olmert's words) "more security … [and] a new pattern of relations." The result was a new rocket war.
The fundamental liberal premise — that human beings are essentially all alike, wanting simply to (as the slogan of the peace process continually put it) "live side by side in peace and security" — had produced not peace but successive wars. As Israel became reluctant to take any further disaster-producing risks, or suffer rockets without a response, an increasing number of liberals believed themselves forced to choose between Israel and liberalism, and an increasing number chose the latter. Peter Beinart is only the latest to do so, trying to jump on an already-crowded train.
Liberals tend to stand by Israel as long as it adheres to the Torah of Liberalism, but they are less supportive when Israel takes seriously some of the promises in that other Torah, which is not a book about human beings perfectible by reason. The issues involved in Noah's essay are part of a story that goes back much further than 1993 or 1967; it would take a book to explain it.

Uppu Seedai (cheedai)
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 2 tbsp Urad Dal Flour ( See how to make it here )
- 1/2 tbsp white sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp grated coconut (freshly grated preferable)
- 2 tbsp butter, at room temperature
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida powder
Tips to Avoid Uppu Seedai(s) from bursting in hot oil
One of the main reasons for this innocent looking snack to scare the hell out of cooks is that at times it starts bursting while you are frying, scattering hot oil all over the kitchen. If it sounds not a big deal, you should see it while in action. Its scary and its messy. Here are some of the possible reasons to why it happens and how you can avoid this from happening.
- Stones in rice flour: Traditionally rice is soaked, sun dried and then ground into fine flour to make this. But current times, with time playing hide and seek, store bought is optimal. In that case, make sure to sieve the rice flour well, couple of times, before using in the recipe.
- Small grains in Urad flour: Similarly to rice flour, if there are small grains in the lentil flour, then the result will not be favorable. The flour should be fine without any particles. Seive the flour well to get only the fine powder.
- Rolling the balls tightly: The tighter you roll them, more the chances of them bursting. While rotating them in your palm, keep it as gentle as possible. While I take the effort to roll them into a nice round, my aunt's place (with whom recently I had the opportunity to make these goodies with) rolls them for a mere 2 seconds. Its more like touch and go and at times it's not even a nice round. But the need to avoid the bursting sometimes is too high to bother about how smooth the round is! So the point I am trying to make is, use feather light touch to roll out these goodies. The science behind it is supposedly to allow the trapped air inside the dough to come out. The tighter you roll it the harder it is for the air bubbles trapped inside causing the sudden bursting in the oil.
- Water trapped in the balls : Similar to air, if excess moisture/water is trapped, the result will be a disaster too. Hence using frozen coconut is not ideal. But if using make sure that you knead the dough very well before lightly rolling them out into balls.
- Using hot oil for making the dough: Personally I have never done it but using the hot oil (that you are heating for deep frying) to the dough while mixing it also helps to avoid the calamity!
- Drying it out: Another tip I have heard is to let the balls dry out a bit. I guess that was indirectly done in the old days when family members sat around a moist cloth and rolled these out and placed them on the cloth while someone took little by little to fry them up in the oil. That sitting time for the balls while they waited for their turn to be deep fried helped them to dry out a bit avoiding any excess moisture issues in the oil.
- Poking a hole: I have not done this personally but once an acquaintance gave me this tip to avoid the issue by pricking the balls with a needle! It sounded so cumbersome to me for which she insisted that if one batch of dough started bursting, you can try this tip to avoid wasting the next batch. So instead of throwing the rest of the dough away and start again fresh, just prick the remaining balls with the needle and deep fry it. It has worked for her although I have not used it. Try it to see if it works for you. If its going to save the dough, then why not :)

Any tips how to avoid soft seedai? Mine dont turn out crunchy :'( Once I did make crunchy, following the same recipe next two times I had only non crunchy ones. I am thinking of giving up .
May be you added a little too much water?. This should be a tight dough.–DK

Read Poems by
Jane Richer
I drew closer as the angel whispered,
'Come and you shall behold!'
I saw a book with an inlaid cover of precious stones,
And embossed in purest gold.
As he spoke, he turned around,
Placing a crystal key within my grasp,
And all drew silent as the lock sprang open,
And I undid the ivory clasp.
I reached inside and gently removed,
The book from its satin case,
I then let the angel be my guide,
As we left that Holy place.
He soon led me to a carpenter's bench,
And he bid that I sit down,
And pointing to objects on the top,
He said, 'All these in this book are found.'
I stared at and touched the simple things,
That lay across God's table,
But as my mind was only 'finite',
To discover their use, I was not able.
Chisels, paint brushes, dried flowers and twigs,
Many cut-out pics of the LORD,
There were broken shards of pottery, small piles of blackest coal,
A cup of water and a wineskin from which oil was poured.
I marveled as I touched His book,
But then thought there could be NO WAY,
For how could a work so beautiful,
Have inside it, blackened coal and lumps of clay?
Deeply perplexed, I mulled over the mystery,
And turned to the angel to speak,
For surely he knew the clues,
To the answers I did seek.
Then a presence entered silently,
And filled the room with light,
I knew at once that HE was there,
My spirit leaped and danced with delight.
My legs shook and on my knees I fell,
And bowing, I lowered my head in shame,
Then I felt His hand upon my head,
And I looked up when He called My name...

An Honors project in dance history brings international recognition for Patricia McAndrew '68
by Mindy Aloff
Until about 25 years ago, when universities began to recognize dance scholarship on the
graduate level, dance history was primarily the province of independent scholars, following
their own interests and working usually at their own expense.
Among the remaining independent dance historians in America, Patricia McAndrew '68 is one of
the finest and most altruistic. But at last she is being discovered by the larger world. In August,
she was invited to Copenhagen as an honored guest for a symposium of international scholars to celebrate
the 19th-century Danish choreographer August Bournonville, one of the great names in the history of
ballet. He is a figure with whom McAndrew is indelibly associated, and has been since he was the subject
of her Honors project as a Moravian senior.
Her painstaking translation, 10 years in the making, of
Bournonville's nearly 700-page memoir,
My Theatre Life, is consulted by scholars and balletgoers and is not likely to be bettered. Nor are
her translations of Bournonville's enchanting letters (My Dearly Beloved Wife! Letters
from France and Italy 1841) or of the memoirs of Bournonville's daughter Charlotte. McAndrew also has depicted
Bournonville in her own words, examining his intense Danish patriotism and artistry in a 1979 issue
of Dance Chronicle.
A native of Bethlehem who still lives in the house where she was raised, the only child
of a father who was a physician and a mother who was a nurse, McAndrew recounts how she
came to be focused on a man so distant in time and place. It started when she was 7 and
her mother took her to see Danny Kaye and the French dancer Jeanmaire in Hans Christian
Andersen, the stylish 1952 movie musical that features scenes in which Kaye, as the writer,
travels to Copenhagen from his native Odense, wanders into a rehearsal at the Royal Theater,
and falls in love with a ballerina.
"You make your own luck. You have to be ready
when the chance comes," McAndrew says in her
mezzo voice and precise diction. "Hans Christian Andersen was pure magic. I was enchanted
with the dancing. [It was choreographed by Roland Petit, Jeanmaire's husband.] I said to my mother: 'Someday,
when I'm grown up, I'm going to Copenhagen like Hans Christian Andersen.' And my mother
said, 'Don't let your father hear you say that!'"
McAndrew's father would
hear her say something similar many times over the next decades. As a child, she studied ballet at the
studio next door to her house. She also attended parochial school for 12 years, and the ballet lessons
fell by the wayside. When she was 18, she picked them up again. Initially, she hadn't wanted to
go to Moravian College. "I wanted to go to New York or
London to be an actress. But my father said, 'You need something to fall back on.'"

Watts-Hillandale group stands by traffic-calming plan
Leaders of the Watts Hospital-Hillandale Neighborhood Association voted late this week to say they still support a controversial traffic-calming plan that would narrow five intersections along West Club Boulevard.
Debbie Hughes, a Virginia Avenue resident and the association's secretary, emailed word of the decision to fellow residents of the neighborhood early Thursday.
She said it came after "very serious consideration of the many points of view" on the plan, which has drawn opposition from area bicyclists.
City officials propose installing concrete "neck-downs" on Club from Georgia Avenue to Maryland Avenue. The work will narrow the travel lanes at the intersections, in theory prompting motorists to slow down and shortening the crossing distance for pedestrians.
Bicyclists have objected because the additions will force them to weave in and out of the flow of traffic along Club, which they contend would be unsafe.
Durham's transportation director, Mark Ahrendsen, disagrees and has said officials will take their cues on whether to proceed with construction next year from the Watts-Hillandale association.
But the group's decision, and Ahrendsen's stance, have drawn the ire of the project's critics and vows to take the dispute to the City Council.
"A single neighborhood association should not be allowed sole say in how public money is spent on public roads," said Adam Haile, one of the most vocal critics of the neck-down proposal.
He contends the project will undermine city policy that favors "complete streets" that provide safe accommodation to motorists, bikers and pedestrians.
The council does in fact have the final say because it has to approve the award of construction contracts for the $350,000 project sometime this winter if work is to begin in the spring.
The project – promised to the neighborhood by city officials in 2001 – would appear to have a head start because two Watts-Hillandale residents serve on the council.
The two – Councilmen Don Moffitt and Steve Schewel – conferred on Friday.
Schewel had previously told Watts-Hillandale residents he'd take his cue from the association, which to date has opposed changing the decision for fear of further delaying the project.
He was cagey about the matter on Friday, declining to say much about his discussion with Moffitt other than to say the two are "talking it over."
"The neighborhood association is the No. 1 and most important stakeholder," Schewel said. "But there are other stakeholders as well. Their needs and desires are definitely an important part of the equation."
The debate so far has played out mostly on neighborhood and cyclist listservs. But the project's critics are beginning to take their case to the council directly.
One, Virginia Avenue resident Carrie Anne Orlikowski, relayed to members a copy of a letter she wrote Ahrendsen on Friday that called the proposed neck-downs "nothing short of a death trap" for cyclists.
And, like Haile, she objected to the idea of giving the Watts-Hillandale association so large a say in whether the project should go ahead as designed.
That allows "a privileged few, in a relatively high property value and income neighborhood in the city, to make a decision that involves using taxpayer money solely for the benefit of those who live along that roadway, and it is simply unconscionable," she said.

Spot on, Bill.
I first met John in Ms. Latino's freshman English class at Minnechaug. We immediately hit it off; we were both hockey junkies. During class, we would often pick a random NHL team, and took turns numerically going down its roster, naming virtually every player. To this day, I can recite every Bruin who ever laced them up between 79 and 83, thanks to John (not the internet or NESN…we were lucky if TV38 broadcasted 2 games in a week).
John was the "complete package"; a good-looking, honor roll athlete, with a heart of gold, and humble as the day is long. He made the Varsity hockey team as a freshman, and not because the team was in transition or short on players; he was that good.
If John had lived to be 100, he would have still left this planet too soon.
Unfortunately, for every John, there seems to be a dozen "parental" figures, the likes of this ear-biting clown; "fathers" living vicariously through their offspring. Prowling the sidelines or bleachers, never short on comments or criticism.
Thanks for reminding me of the good in the world. I know John's legacy will continue to live on through his children.
He was one of a kind.
Hey Bill...this is our third year back in the league. There are still only 2 Springfield teams; 420 and us (21).
Great day for Springfield baseball! Outstanding job by Brian Collins, Mike Borecki, and the committee. Truly an honor to have been a part of the ceremony, and winning the inaugural Garry Brown cup. I couldn't think of a more deserving person for this game's award to be named for. Congrats to Post 420, and coach Collins on a great win today...looking forward to many more Brown Cup contests!
Nice mention of the evening's emcee's...Ridiculous!
Nice mention of the evening's emcee's. Ridiculous!
Exactly how would this be an upset. The Yankees are a wild-card team, the Rangers won their division. I hate the wild card, but Bud "Light" Selig and the other pirates that are ruining baseball are cashing checks hand over fist. Go back to an east-west, best of 7 for the pennant. It would be harder for teams like New York to buy a playoff spot.
A live show would be great news Laura!
The GH team needs to go back to their "bread and butter". Forget about the loony-bins and prisons that are in disrepair. I agree with Kris in the interview last week; find a good old fashioned haunted residence in New England, and help a family out. It seems that some of these commercial properties they investigate have marginal activity, but use GH to promote sagging attendance. I'm really tired of the canned reveals, where the property manager/owner does his/her best cue-card read, "So I have to ask, do you think this place is haunted?"
Thanks for the promising update!
Totally agree Laura...
As you know, I DVR each show and play it commercial-free from 9:30 to 10:15. Then I jump into Destination Truth. I can FF to "The Reveal", and see everything worth watching. They need to do at least a pair of live shows each season; maybe Halloween and the season finale?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2007 Senior military and defense leaders briefed members of the Defense Orientation Conference Association today on the global war on terror and other challenges facing the military.
About 55 members of the group -- a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to national defense issues -- began a three-day meeting today at the Pentagon. The session will continue over the next two days at the State Department and National Defense University, at Fort McNair here.
Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, kicked off today's session, followed by Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Army Secretary Pete Geren. Other speakers included Vice Adm. John G. Cotton, Navy Reserve Force commander; Lt. Gen. Richard S. Kramlich, the Marine Corps' deputy commandant for installations and logistics; and Vice Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., Coast Guard chief of staff.
Three members of the "Why We Serve program," all combat veterans who are crisscrossing the country to share their experiences, also talked to the group. They were Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jeremy DeVries, Marine 1st Lt. David Bradt and Marine Sgt. Daniel Alvarado.
John Stahr, the group's president, praised today's presenters for providing straight, unfiltered facts about what's taking place in the military. "If we are going to be effective citizens, we need to know what's going on and make up our own minds," not have it filtered through the media or politicians, he said.
"This gives our members a better understanding of what current challenges and issues are facing the Department of Defense," said David Morris, the group's executive vice president. Defense Orientation Conference Association members will take what they've learned here and share it with broader audiences in their communities, he said.
Many of today's participants, including Rebecca Smith, DOCA's southeast region director, are alumni of the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference. That program, sponsored by the defense secretary, has been helping U.S. business, civic and academic leaders expand their knowledge of military and national defense programs since 1948.
DOCA offers an opportunity to build on the JCOC experience, Smith said. Members get "fantastic access" to leaders who share the full range of issues and challenges facing the Defense Department and military services, she said. "We get real-life explanations with real-life conditions … and tremendous insight into how our unified military works together."
Stahr said the Washington session will give members "a basis of learning what is going on currently and what we can do individually to help."

A convicted paedophile who this week resigned as director of a Sherborne theatre group says he is devastated that his dark past has come back to haunt him.
Charles Napier, 65, of Sherborne, stood down from the Amateur Players of Sherborne (APS) amid allegations he had been interviewed by police over his links with a notorious paedophile ring in the 1980s.
Speaking to the Western Gazette yesterday Mr Napier said he was "devastated" that he could no longer be part of the APS.
He said: "This is very difficult.
Related content
"In my 20s and 30s I was in a very bad place.
"I was a very unhappy and confused young man and I was involved in things I deeply regret.
"In my 30s I discovered my career and I thought I had put it all behind me.
"In 1995 my past caught up with me. I had committed offences and I paid for them. I was convicted and I served my time in jail. From then I tried to live my life as an honourable member of the community.
"But this has come back to haunt me."
Mr Napier, a former envoy for the British Council in Cairo, was imprisoned for nine months in 1995 for two offences of sexually abusing a boy under the age of 16. He had enticed the boy to his home in Surrey during the 1980s.
The society was due to open its production of Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale next Thursday at the Digby Hall, Hound Street.
After an emergency committee meeting on Monday night, APS decided to cancel the production altogether.
Chairman Stuart McCreadie said: "In view of recent events which have prompted the resignation of Charles Napier from the Amateur Players of Sherborne, it is with great regret that the society has decided to cancel next week's production of A Winter's Tale."
Mr Napier has acted in, directed, or designed the set for the last six productions for the players.
The resignation came after claims in The Mirror that Mr Napier may have been interviewed by Metropolitan Police detectives over alleged links with Peter Righton, the founder of the now disbanded Paedophile Information Exchange network (PIE).
References to Mr Napier were also made in Private Eye.
The network campaigned in the 1970s and 1980s to reduce the age of consent to as young as four.
Righton was convicted in 1992 of importing and possessing illegal pornographic material.
Mr Napier said he has long detached himself from PIE.
He said: "I was once treasurer of the PIE network.
"But I came out of it long ago and I have not been in touch with members of it for a long time.
"I see it as part of my dark past which I have tried to move on from."
In the House of Commons last month MP Tom Watson called for police to re-examine evidence used to convict Righton more than 20 years ago and presented a list of names to the police.
On Monday a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "We would never confirm who we are interviewing with regard to ongoing investigations. But we can confirm we have approached everyone featured on a list provided to us by MP Tom Watson."
Last month Mr Napier discussed the forthcoming production in Sherborne School as part of the town's literary festival.
Judith Spelman, festival organiser, said: "We are very upset to hear this news. Mr Napier approached us to talk about the play and we wanted to involve as many local people as possible in the event.
"At no time was Mr Napier alone on school premises. As with all our speakers he was accompanied by a festival chaperone at all times."
Chris Davis, headmaster of Sherborne School, said: "Although this was not a school event, we were approached by the Sherborne Literary Society, to provide a venue to the town's Literary Festival for the lecture, which was open to members of the public, rather than boys from Sherborne.
"On investigating concerns raised about this event we remain confident that our child protection procedures, which are rigorous and regularly reviewed, were applied correctly to ensure the continuing safety of our pupils. We have also been in communication with Dorset Police about the issue."
Mr Napier said: "I agreed to take part in the literary festival months before I knew where the talk would be held. Then it never crossed my mind that it would be problem.
"I am devastated that I cannot be involved with the APS and with A Winter's Tale anymore. I think I might not ever be able to take part in something like this again.
"It is sad that something like this has happened over a play that is about forgiveness and reconciliation. I hope at least that I will be able to remain in Sherborne where I live with my 92-year-old mother."
