Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams received some bad news from the NFL offices as his penalized tackle on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cost his $15,000. "I could understand if I dove at him head-first and hit him or hit him behind the legs and dove at him with my shoulder," Williams said. "But I hit him with my arm and get a $15,000 fine for hitting the guy with the ball. I don't get it."
While the talented defender was upset with the amount of the fine he knew he was not surprised by the fine itself because he knew the hit below Brady's knees was illegal. "I figured it was," he said. "At the same time, I asked the official during the game, 'What do you want me to do?' He didn't say anything. Of course, I wasn't exactly calm when I asked him. But I'm trying to figure out: You get blocked down, you're going down. The guy's still got the ball. I didn't dive into the side of the leg. I didn't spear him in the side of the leg. I hit him with my forearm in his calf and he went down. You got guys out there hitting Fitz in his chest with their helmet when he's going down. I don't know what you're supposed to do."

War Criminal Blair Gets Peace Medal

Tony Blair, in his inevitable career progression from world leader to elder statesman, picks up another award, this time the 2010 Liberty Medal, a prize given annually by the National Constitution Centre in Philadelphia.
In announcing the $100,000 prize, Philadelphia's mayor Michael Nutter praised Blair's "relentless pursuit of a long-elusive peace in Northern Ireland as British prime minister and his dedication to the Middle East peace process".
The former prime minister has announced that he will donate the prize money to two of his charities: the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.
"It is an honour to receive the Liberty Medal," Blair said, in a statement. "I am deeply indebted to the National Constitution Centre for adding my name to such a distinguished list of recipients."

Would You Wear a Pleated Skirt Like These Stars?
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have been getting into the swing of things with short pleated skirts.
On December 2 in NYC, the country singer paired a swingy tan-colored mini with a soft ivory sweater and black tights, which she wore underneath a black A-line jacket. This was the first time she took her new blunt bangs public.
PHOTOS: Taylor Swift's style evolution
A few weeks later, the Gossip Girl actress stopped by Sprinkles Cupcakes wearing a metallic gold number, which she paired a sheer ovary blouse accented with a gold flower pin -- all by Gucci. She topped off her look with black Brian Atwood pumps and a slicked-back hairstyle.
PHOTOS: Blake Lively's 10 best hairstyles
Since pleats add volume, pair the piece with a blouse that hits right at the top of your hips or be sure to tuck in your shirt to avoid any added bulk. Both Swift and Lively both demonstrate how to flawlessly pull off the piece above with shorter, tailored tops.

He's missed six cuts in six British Open appearances, but that won't stop Aaron Baddeley from brandishing the one wood on the treacherous links of Royal Lytham and St Annes.
One of the finest putters in the game, driving has long been Baddeley's Achilles heel and the dual Australian Open champion ranks 173rd for accuracy off the tee on this year's PGA Tour.
That doesn't bode well entering a major on a course packed with more than 200 bunkers and nasty rough to be avoided at all costs.
But Baddeley won't die wondering when he tees off on Thursday.
"I'll just play whatever the hole suits. If it's a driver, it's a driver. If it's an iron, it's an iron," he said.
"But definitely it's an advantage if it's on the fairway. You'll be able to control the spin and the trajectory a bit easier."
Even more so an advantage for Baddeley, with the world No.50 ranking second this season in America for strokes gained with the putter.
The 31-year-old, though, has no plans on straying from his swashbuckling ways and he hopes a "good session" on Monday with coach Dale Lynch has ironed out his swing kinks.
"The results haven't quite been what we want, but I feel like it's been closer than what the results have been showing," said Baddeley, who has still earned more than a $US1 million ($A980,000) in 2012.
"I felt a little bit like that the whole year. I've had a lot of 11ths, 12ths, 13ths, but just haven't been quite able to get that last little bit.
"So we've just been sort of peeling back the layers a little bit, trying to just figure out that last little bit.
"It's close to being there and hopefully it will be this week."
Baddeley missed the halfway cut on his British Open debut at Lytham in 2001 and has only once broken par in five subsequent tries in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and last year.
"It hasn't been great but now I feel like I'm back in control of the golf ball a little better," he said.
"I feel like I've got more shots than I've had in the past so hopefully this week we can break that trend and be in contention come that last day."

Researchers with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are participating in a study sponsored by the U.S Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in conjunction with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) to determine how airborne contaminants would spread if released into Boston's subway system. During the study, which is now underway and runs from December 5-11, the Berkeley Lab researchers will be measuring how gas gets dispersed throughout tunnels and subway cars.
"The data we're collecting will help in the development of the next generation of biological and chemical agent detector systems," says Melissa Lunden, a chemist with the Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD) who leads Berkeley Lab's participation. "The information will also provide a better understanding of airflow characteristics in subway systems that should be useful for planning responses to fires, unintentional chemical or fuel spills, and other emergencies."
In addition to Lunden, other Berkeley Lab EETD researchers working on this DHS study include Doug Black, William Delp, Toshifumi Hotchi, Jennifer Logue, Ann McDonagh, Richard Sextro, and Tracy Thatcher.
While Boston's MBTA subway system has never been threatened or attacked, terrorists have threatened subway systems in New York and elsewhere. In 1995, a sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system by domestic terrorists killed a dozen people and injured dozens more.
"Proactively studying and preparing for possible threats is one of our most effective strategies for fortifying our critical infrastructure," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in announcing this study. "DHS is undertaking many studies such as this across the country to inform our emergency response planning in preparation for chemical or biological terrorist attacks."
The MBTA study involves the release of common, harmless tracer gases used for indoor and outdoor air testing (sulfur hexaf

Oaxaca-style Mushroom and Cheese Quesadillas
Makes 12
1 tbsp safflower or corn oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup white onion, chopped
1 chile serrano, or jalapeño, finely chopped (seeding optional)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 lb fresh mushrooms, white or baby bello, or any that you prefer, cleaned and thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh epazote leaves, chopped, optional
2 tsp kosher or sea salt, or to taste
1 cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded (also good with mozzarella, muenster or monterey jack)
Corn tortillas, store bought or homemade
Salsa of your choice
Heat the oil and butter in a large sauté pan, set over medium-high heat. When butter starts to sizzle, add white onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the serrano chile and chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, for about a minute.
Incorporate the thinly sliced mushrooms and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Their juices will begin to come out and after a couple minutes they will begin to dry out. When they do, mix in the epazote leaves if using, and salt, stir and cook for another minute. The mushroom mix should be moist, not wet or too dry, which will be perfect for filling the quesadillas.
Heat the tortillas on a hot comal or dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds. Place a tablespoon or two of the mushroom mix and a tablespoon or two of the shredded cheese (depending on how chubby you want them!) on the center of each tortilla. Fold it as if it were a turnover and press down. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until cheese is completely melted and tortillas have begun to crisp a bit on the outside.
Serve with a side of a salsa of your choice.

amarillo, mancha manteles, almendrado, pipian, de Castilla use a variety of
chiles, almonds, raisins, pumpkin seeds, tomato, garlic, onions, plantains,
chocolate, spices, chile seeds and a wide array of ingredients. From the
incredibly complex and laborious to the simplest with just a handful of
ingredients, this is a class sure to surprise and please all your senses.

The Moles of Oaxaca
Oaxaca cheese is a mild tasting, gently salty, stringy white cheese with a deliciously chewy, full and filling bite. It is made in the same way as Mozzarella cheese. In fact, they taste very similar! Once the curds are formed, they are heated in water, stirred, and heated in water again. Throughout the process, as they are heated and stirred, they are made into very long threads that are pulled once and then again, until the desired consistency is achieved. Then the long threads are wrapped into balls.
In Mexico, and recently in some places abroad as well, you can find freshly made Oaxaca cheese, as it is usually found in small town and open air markets. You can also find commercially processed Oaxaca cheese in grocery stores, but the flavor and consistency changes considerably from the fresh ones.

Incoming Martin schools leadership gets lesson in district finances
STUART — Incoming Martin County Schools Superintendent Laurie Gaylord questioned district financial officials Tuesday about when payouts to district retirees should be done.
Gaylord said payouts made at the end of June had about a $1 million impact on the district's fiscal year 2013 budget. Gaylord questioned the district's practice of paying out retiree benefits at the end of the fiscal year, and having those payouts reflected on the 2012-2013 budget.
"This was a huge impact," she said during a Tuesday morning workshop with incoming, current and outgoing board members.
Gaylord said the payouts should have been approved during fiscal year 2012. The way the payouts have been stated, the beginning budget looks as if it's overstating the fund balance, she said.
District Finance Director Bryan Thabit said the payments already have been paid, and the current fund balance reflects those retiree payouts. The payouts are spread out depending on which departments the retirees worked, he said.
The district's audits have not noted any findings, he said.
District staff gave a two-hour lesson on district finances and budgeting Tuesday during the workshop for new School Board members facing proposed budget amendments soon after taking the oath of office next week.
"Finances impact everything," said Gaylord, who will be sworn into office next week along with three new board members.
The workshop also gave the incoming board members Michael DiTerlizzi, Marsha Powers and Rebecca Negron a chance to hear some final words of advice from retiring board members David Anderson and Sue Hershey.
Both encouraged the new members to ask questions and to try to resolve issues before School Board meetings.
"Always work it through, always work through the chain of command," said Hershey. "Talk to your people, get to know them. They want to talk with you. They want to tell you the answers."
Anderson said the job of a school board member is tough, requiring tough people.
"You'll do well. I'm sure you will do well," Anderson said. "Good luck, because you're going to need it."

A $21.2 million weekend from Iron Man 3 dominated the market at the U.K. box office. Iron Man 3 is now Marvel's second highest grossing film in the U.K. after The Avengers. Audiences didn't seem very willing to watch anything else over the weekend, as per-screen averages dropped across the board for every other title. The Croods was the weekend's strongest hold-over, falling a mere 11% in its sixth week. The animated film has already grossed a $37.2 million cume in the U.K. Oz: The Great and Powerful is showing resiliency by staying in the top ten after 12 weeks in release, reaching a $22.8 million cume in the U.K.. Oz's $444 per-screen average doesn't even remotely compare to Disney's other release, Iron Man 3, which averaged an overwhelming $38,225. Another telling statistic from the weekend sheds negative light on Oblivion's hold-over potential: Iron Man 3 grossed 33% more in one weekend than the Tom Cruise film has been able to bring in during its three weeks in release.

Bakersfield (Calif.) Community College defensive tackle Maurice Hayes and Jones County (Miss.) Community College defensive end Ryan Robinson should be able to help immediately along the Cowboys defensive line.
Prep defensive tackles James Castleman of Amarillo (Texas), Ashaad Mabry of San Antonio (Texas) MacArthur, Alex Villareal of Hidalgo (Texas) and Mike Mustafa of Katy (Texas) Cinco Ranch will be counted on to help shore up OSU's defensive front.
Poor weather and power outages in Abilene, Texas delayed the official signing of Herschel Sims but the elite running back recruited eventually inked his LOI to OSU. The Cowboys signed 27 recruits on Wednesday.
The winter snowstorm that blew through Oklahoma and impacted portions of Texas on Tuesday had a minimal effect.
"It went more smoothly than I thought," said Gundy while noting that recruits' coaches had been good about finding a way to get signed LOIs faxed into Stillwater. "Those (high school) coaches are usually pretty reliable and it worked out today."
Richardson (Texas) athlete Torrance Carr and Alma (Ark.) receiver Isaac McCoy are two Cowboy signees who didn't have an abundance of BCS offers before the Cowboys got into the mix. Carr de-committed from North Texas to sign with OSU and McCoy spurned an offer from Central Arkansas to sign with the Pokes.
"Both played quarterback, very similar to Justin Gilbert," Gundy said. "They were able to make a lot of plays for their teams."
Carr could end up at several different positions while McCoy could make an impact as a receiver for the Pokes.
"You had to project what they could play," Gundy said. "And for that reason I don't think there was as much interest from other schools but we feel very comfortable signing high school quarterbacks that have made plays for their team."

I live in Idaho and i am strongly debating between a 20 degree and 30 degree quilt for late spring through fall. Any other Idaho hikers have some input? I do a lot of hiking in the Sawtooths and Hell's Canyon areas. If it helps, I am looking at the EE Revelation. Any help would be appreciated!
If it's your only quilt, I'd go 20F. I use a 30F quilt, but I also have a winter bag I can use in the colder fringe seasons. If it's more of a 2-season quilt and you're willing to wear clothes then go 30F, but normally there isn't a big weight difference because the shell fabrics are half the weight and they don't change much. I'd look for about 12-13oz of 800-900FP down in a 20F quilt. EE makes solid stuff and the Rev is darn good. Other nice options are Zpacks and GoLite (when it's on sale).
I've heard good things about www.jacksrbetter.comI'm saving up for the Sierra Stealth myself, but they do make a few quilts for colder temps. Worth checking out.
Thanks for the input Dan. I actually have the GoLite Z30 but I would like to get away from the sewn footbox. I don't like to layer up when I sleep so I think 20 degrees may be the right choice.
Like Dan, I've currently got a 30 degree quilt. I've pushed it below the rating with all my extra clothes but I wouldn't want to do it regularly. In fact, it kept me from going out much when the weather got cold because I didn't want to deal with it.I just purchased a 20* RevX (should be here in 3 weeks!) so that I can be confident that I'll be warm enough when the weather gets cold. I'm going to make a 45 degree Apex quilt for warmer temperatures and think this will be a much more versatile system for me. I haven't done any hiking in Idaho but from experiences in Colorado I know that even in July is can get pretty chilly when you're camped up high. I'd definitely go for the warmer quilt. The beauty is you can open up the foot box if you find you're too warm. And with EE you aren't paying much more to go from a 30 degree to a 20 degree quilt. In the long run I think I'm going to be happy I spent the extra $15 for the warmer quilt.Adam
Thanks for your reply Adam. I was curious also if a 20 degree down + a 50 degree synthetic quilt over it might be warm enough to be feasible for winter use. Anybody have any experience with this?
Layering works, as long as you're not compressing the down too much. Might be better with the synthetic under the down.
I just got my Nunatak Arc Alpinist from Nunatak....awesome quilt...I can't say enough good stuff about the quality. The price isn't cheap...but Tom will custom make it for you and add anything you'd like.He made a 6'7" length 68 inch shoulder wide and 40" foot box quilt for me with .8 Quantum in and out with 2 oz's of overfill and this thing weighs in at 24 oz.Worth checking out.
I use the following in varying combinations:EE Revelation 20 degree quilt ~21 ozWestern Mountaineering 20 degree bag ~31 oz Exped UL7 Down Pad ~23ozMLD Event Soul Bivy ~11ozThe quilt is usable alone down to about 0 C. It is a great product. Well made, but the down does move around quite a bit due to the short baffles, which has been remedied in the newer version. Company is excellent to deal with.I use the bag from 0C to -10C. The quilt is not as warm as my WM bag despite its equal rating. I attribute this mostly to the lack of a mummy hood and it is more prone to cold spots due to down drift. I use my Exped down mat year round and it adds a lot of warmth to both products. People underestimate how much heat is lost to the ground, even in summer.I layer the quilt over the bag in sub -10C temps; dont' strap it on tight to preserve lofting of both. They work incredibly well together.When it gets really cold like -25C, the coldest in which I've slept outside, I put the pad, the bag and the quilt (and me) inside the bivy. It reduces airflow significantly around the insulation but you have to be careful to minimize sweating. As conditions dictate I layer my clothing for more warmth.All of the above combinations are inside a tent.Hope this is helpful.Derrick

Jason,I converted to quilts several years ago for three-season camping (Montana and Wyoming)several years ago. My Nunatak Back Country Blanket is easily the most versatile quilt I own. Extra long, six extra ounces of down, can be draped in warmer weather, closed up when it gets colder. Like several others who've posted here, I use an Exped down pad or (lately) a Big Agnes Q Core synthetic fill pad, which really helps. I sleep very cold but either pad adds 10-15 F degrees to what a bag can accomplish by itself. As Shawn says, Nunatak isn't inexpensive but you get exactly what you want.Richard
Been down this same road with various bags etc. I must admit, I haven't tried an EE quilt or some of the other quilts. I picked up an Alsek last year and absolutely loved it! The quality from the Katabatic quilts is off the charts. Truth be told, the 22 degree is a bit conservative for his quilts and I was quite warm in it. Sold it and no have the 30 degree Palisades and feel perfect with it and the ability to laver when the weather gets chili. You owe it to yourself to check out the Katabatic quilts. I really like the differential cut and the retention system. I will not go back to a bag! Good Luck with your choice.
20*f is what I use. Some suggestions: Use a blanket, lay on your side and try to adjust the blanky so that you can get an idea of the right width. Too narrow and you'll get cold spots. IMO wider is better. Pad attachment - check to make sure that the manufacturer thought about it - some quilts are really only intended for use in a hammock. Black on inside - at high elevations it will dry super fast over a rock in a 15 minute sun break. Finally, 800 fill or greater.There are a lot of cottage shops making quilts, but most of them are catering to hammock users. That doesn't mean they don't make a great quilt - but it does mean that you should ask them questions about stuff that matters to ground dwellers.Not a bad idea to invest in a down hood or beanie. Fall can see honest 20* nights in the Sawtooths.
That's a great point about the width. I made my quilt based on JRB dimensions and as a side sleeper found 48" to be too narrow. I roll over a few times during the night and always ended up with a cold draft up my back when I did. I was debating between the standard and wide EE quilt but in the end decided (just like the temp) the couple of extra dollars and ounces would be well worth it to be sure I get a good night's sleep. Adam
You won't go wrong with an appropriately rated quilt from EE. I'm a 6' ~165#, side sleeper and the 6' reg Rev is a perfect size. Great coverage and the strap system works great on a 2"+ pad. I have a 40* Rev and it's warm enough for most situations where I will be. If I needed something warmer, I'd get the warmer version of what I have.
If you want a little more flexibility to ride out colder temps, I'd recommend you go with the 20*F quilt rather than a 30*. Depending upon the quilt design, you can always open the quilt up more or cinch it down to adjust for temps.A few other thoughts...Width/cut... Selecting a quilt of appropriate width is really key. A quilt that isn't wide enough to allow for a good wrap around your upper torso/shoulders will allow for drafts. This is no fun as temps drop. Different quilts manufacturers also provide different cuts through the torso/footbox. Some like more room to spread out, others like a slimmer cut for thermal efficiency and weight savings.Footbox design... I'm on the fence. I have two quilts with a sewn footbox (Katabatic) that are super warm and cozy. Problem is, when it's a little warm out for the quilt, you can't easily vent or otherwise open up the footbox other than just hanging a leg out. Other designs, like the EE quilts, allow you open up the footbox for warm(er) weather use. On a dedicated summertime or warm weather quilt, this can be a nice feature. For a 3-season quilt, it might not be as ideal since it might not be as warm as a permanently enclosed footbox.Strap designs... I really love the Katabatic Quilt strap system to attach the quilt to my sleeping pad. For a rotisserie sleeper (I spin round and round in my sleep), this system successfully keeps the pad under me and the quilt on top of me.Hood... Definitely key as temps drop. Or plan to wear your down parka inside your quilt.Layering... So, I have a 30*F 3-season down quilt and a 15*F down "winter" quilt. Earlier this year I purchased a 50*F synthetic quilt to use for the occasional really warm trip and to extend the range of my 15*F winter quilt into the realm of 0*F or colder. My plan is to layer the synthetic quilt on top of the down quilt and wear my down insulation pieces as needed inside the quilts. The synthetic quilt was sized large enough and is light enough to fully drape over my 15*F down quilt without any noticeable compression. In theory, having the synthetic quilt on top adds a little warmth and will also help with moisture management during wet winter trips by moving the dew point into the synthetic quilt rather than the down quilt. I haven't tested this yet in the field, but there were a few posts/articles over the last couple of years suggesting this approach works well for others.FWIW, I've switched to quilts exclusively for the last 3 years or so. I don't even own a mummy bag anymore. They work a lot better for my needs and solve many of my issues with standard sleeping bags.
I have heard a lot of great things about Katabatic quilts. I'm just on the fence about the sewn footbox. I understand that the footbox will be warmer in colder weather, but my concern is mobility as I roll around a lot. I'm 6'3" 205 with broad shoulders, so width is very important. Katabatic quilts are for the most part more costly than I was looking for, however, I understand that EE will be going up in price next month anyhow. I currently have a GoLite Z30 which is a good quilt, but I am looking for something wider and warmer for the weight. Do any of you Katabatic owners find that the footbox becomes restrictive?
I've been reading the sewn footbox saves a tiny bit of weight, I hang a leg or more out some nights anyway here in the Sierra. I want to get a quilt this coming Spring, debating widths. I've laid on the floor with a tape measure, a blanket sounds good to try out to check needs. Looks like ZPacks has upped the ante some with lighter fabric per my check on their site tonight. Katabatic is backed up.Duane
Im a few inches shorter than you but have about 5-10 lbs on you. I'm similarly broad shouldered and generally built like a sturdy rugby player. I also always run warm.If I could, I would love to always sleep spread out under a down blanket. I don't care for being cramped up within a narrow confined space like a mummy bag. So, yeah, I find the footbox on my katabatic quilts "restrictive" but no more so than any other mummy bag or quilt. Obviously in warm weather now I'll gladly switch to the EE quilt and make use of the ability to open up the footbox, but for colder nights, I accept the limitations of the sewn footbox in exchange for better warmth. I can't imagine a winter-rated down blanket would be very efficient, although I'd welcome the ability to sprawl...
Look at the 25°F Western Mountaineering Alder MF (microfiber) semi-rectangular sleeping bag. It is hoodless, has 2 full length zippers - one down the side and another across the foot - that allows it to open completely flat as a quilt or zip up into a fully closed sleeping bag. There is a hooded version also - the Sycamore MF.http://westernmountaineering.com/index.cfm?section=Products&page=Sleeping%20Bags&cat=Microfiber%20Series&ContentId=225 1/4" Spacing/Continuous Baffles 5" Loft, 25° F 62"/ 46" Shoulder /Foot Girth 16 oz. Down Fill Zips to Summer Coupler 1 lb. 15 oz. Total Weight$390 for a 6 foot version ($415 hooded)$405 for a 6 foot 6 inch version ($435 hooded)We have two of the hooded versions. One fully open works fine for the wife and me during the warmer months. Because ours have the zippers on opposing sides, we can zip them together to make a double bag for colder month, or close each of them up individually when we choose.I've used mine for 2100 miles of the PCT, all 165 miles of the TRT, and 120 miles of the CT. Never once did I wish for something else.

Hey Jason,I have had no issues with the footbox on my two Katabatic quilts. It's funny as I had to think back to how I was worried about the same thing but the foot area is not restrictive at all and the way Aaron cuts the foot box, it's very roomy vertically. I am 6'1 and around 200 lbs. and am a very active sleeper as well. Both of my quilts are wide and they truly are amazingly comfortable. Like others have mentioned, the ability to tie down the edges and have them tuck around you, even when you move from back to side is very effective.My 22 degree Alsek was too warm in the summer and If I wanted just one quilt for the summer and shoulder seasons, I'd look at a Palisade with 1oz. overfill. I sleep great with a standard Palisade and just layer my clothing when it gets real cold. I've had mine down to 20 with just my hiking pants/shirt/socks. You could easily get lower with a small down jacket/rain gear etc.

RULE OF LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS: Advance and protect human and individual rights, and promote societies where the state and its citizens are accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced, and independently adjudicated, consistent with international norms and standards.
Analysis: Improved court case management is one of the key activities pursued by U.S. Government programs within the area of rule of law and human rights. This representative indicator tracks improved court case management as reported by 27 countries receiving U.S. assistance. The FY 2009 target for the number of USG-assisted courts with improved case management was not met, due mainly to delays in some countries in establishing a case management process and in others in expanding the number of courts using a piloted process. In Guatemala, for example, the Supreme Court delayed the USAID-supported Trial Court Model, leaving little time to expand implementation of the model outside of Guatemala City as originally planned.
Analysis: In addition to monitoring shorter-term activities for more immediate impact, the United States also tracks longer term trends, such as the percent of countries with improved civil liberties ratings as reported by Freedom House, to assist in planning and designing future efforts, as well as to adjust ongoing programs. Combating corruption, strengthening democracy through civil society organizations, and encouraging nations to be democratic and responsible members of the world community are key long-term priorities for the Department and USAID. FY 2009 results for this indicator will be available in mid- to late 2010, but FY 2007 and 2008 results show positive trends in civil liberties in non-democratic countries and countries in transition to a full democracy. The percentage of countries showing improved civil liberties ratings increased to 12% in FY 2008, from 4% in FY 2007.
GOOD GOVERNANCE: Promote democratic institutions that are effective, responsible, sustainable, accountable to the people, and include checks and balances.
Analysis: Constitutional order, legal frameworks, and judicial independence constitute the foundation for a well-functioning society, but they remain hollow unless the government has the capacity to apply these tools appropriately. Activities include support avenues for public participation and oversight and for substantive separation of powers through institutional checks and balances. Transparency and integrity are also vital to government effectiveness and political stability. One of the long-term measures used by the United States to track the effectiveness of its efforts to improve good governance is the percentage of countries with improved governance ratings. According to the World Bank the percentage of countries with improved governance ratings jumped to 10% in FY 2008 from 7% in FY 2007. FY 2009 results for this indicator are expected in mid-2010.
POLITICAL COMPETITION AND CONSENSUS-BUILDING: Encourage the development of transparent and inclusive electoral and democratic, responsive and effective political parties.
Analysis: The number of domestic election observers trained with U.S. Government assistance is tracked as one component of promoting free and fair elections. The target and results for persons trained for deployment as observers before or during national elections are dependent on the number of elections scheduled in a given year. In FY 2009, U.S. assistance programs exceeded the target despite the postponement or cancellation of several elections. In those countries where elections were held, the actual numbers of people trained were frequently double the anticipated target. For example, in Ecuador, the complexity of the election process necessitated a large increase in the number of domestic observers trained, and the Mission obtained supplemental funding for the program.
CIVIL SOCIETY: Strengthen democratic political culture and citizen engagement by supporting the means through which citizens can freely organize, advocate, and communicate with members of their own and other governments, international bodies, and other elements of civil society.
Analysis: In FY 2009, U.S. assistance programs improved their performance over FY 2008, but did not meet the target for the number of U.S. Government-assisted civil society organizations (CSOs) that engaged in advocacy and watchdog functions. Some country-level targets were not met due to delays in program start-up and shifts by CSOs from advocacy to humanitarian assistance. In countries where the targets were exceeded, it was often due to increased advocacy at the local level or on a particular issue. For example, results exceeded the target due to forest land advocacy efforts in Cambodia, and due to an expanded constituency for a Freedom of Information Bill in Nigeria.
The United States has made a long-term commitment to help Afghanistan rebuild itself after years of war. The insurgency in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan poses a fundamental threat to U.S. strategic interests. Disrupting, dismantling, and eliminating al-Qaeda safe havens in Afghanistan and Pakistan are a top foreign policy priority. The Administration's strategy to achieve this goal in Afghanistan is to promote a more capable, accountable, and effective Afghan Government that serves its people by generating economic opportunities, and can function with limited international support. Through diplomatic and development efforts, the United States supports the Afghan Government in its efforts to establish a framework for a vibrant civil society, one that emphasizes democratic principles through the rule of law and creates accountable and transparent forms of government. In Pakistan, the strategy is to stabilize the government through macroeconomic reforms and private sector growth to lay the foundations for long-term economic stability and sustainable growth. Pakistan must also be convinced to systematically confront extremist threats by further developing its security capabilities. Both State and USAID are working together to strengthen each host country capacity to provide services to its citizens effectively and enhance the long-term sustainability of development efforts.

Multi-species grazing has been shown to improve pasture quality, control weed growth, and enhance pasture utilization (getting the most out of every blade of grass). All of these are achieved while increasing the carrying capacity, enabling more animals… Read more »

Some New Angles on Grazing Cells
The Big Scrub is gone; destroyed by loggers and cattle farmers a century ago. What was once Australia's largest subtropical rainforest—900km2 of biodiversity—is now largely home to cows and grass. Even between these two components many landowners still struggle to enforce balance. Thistle-covered paddies, eroded hillsides, compacted soils with sparse vegetation—scars from this struggle cover… Read more »
From Monoculture to Permaculture
How one man transformed his farm from Monoculture to Permaculture. When Warren Brush bought a run down orchard near Ventura, California, he knew he was in for the ride of his life transforming it into a Permaculture farm.

SimpleFoods was created by established Los Angeles based personal trainer Fred Khorshidi in a Beverly Hills private home. Fred began preparing meals for a few of his clients who wanted to eat clean, fresh food but did not have the time to shop and cook for themselves on a regular basis. "Clients would always ask me about diet deliveries but none of them matched up to my standards of quality, so I offered to cook their food for them." Within a week Fred had six people on his plan and quickly realized he would need assistance going forward to balance cooking with his personal training. After speaking with Fred about what he was doing for his clients, long time friend Carly Hoftman asked to partner with him in the business. She believed in his vision and high nutritional standards. Carly has always had a strong interest in leading a healthy lifestyle and has been creating nutritious recipes at home for years so the partnership came together perfectly. Eight months later SimpleFoods was formed.
SimpleFoods is a low- sodium, calorie conscious diet. All food is unprocessed, shopped for and prepared daily from scratch by expert chefs. They pride themselves on their clean, high quality food that consistently maintains great taste.

Always on the lookout for some simple lightweight pants for climbing and general backpacking that will be (1) wind and water resistant (2) comfortable while allowing unhindered movement and (3) durable, the Transition Tights offer a measure of each.The MH Tights are made (mostly) of Gore Windstopper NTS, a laminated fabric that is highly wind resistant, offers a degree of water repellancy and good breathability.The brushed poyester inner is comfortable next to skin and aids moisture transport out. The gusseted crotch and inseams are made of a poyester stretch jersey knit.No pockets or zippers, very simply appointed with an elastic waist with drawstring closure. They seem very comfortable in moderate temps. during aerobic activities and reputably will continue to be comfortable during activity down to the 30's or so---I haven't employed them yet in colder weather. These would be inappropriate for hot weather use.The tights are admirably wind resistant and comfortable. No question that I could stem a wide chimney or do the splits (wish I could) with these. The Windstopper fabric for its weight is quite durable and very water resistant. However, the jersey knit panels wet out quickly and seem susceptible to snagging. MH could turn these into a superb addition to one's outdoor wardrobe if they would only swap out those knit panels with something more durable and water resistant---there are a number of fabrics on the market that would do this--Schoeller Dynamic or something like Arcteryx's Tweave Durastretch come to mind.Finally, these are form fitting tights so, if you got it, flaunt it--- but could be deemed unflattering by those whose bodies don't look like the current athletic ideal.Weight in men's L is 221 g. (7.8 oz.).I'd give these a 3 1/2 out of 5

MOSCOW, Russia, June 25, 2013 — Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced it has signed an agreement with NK Rosneft, a leading Russia-based oil and gas producer, as the main automation contractor for the construction of its new refinery at Tuapsinskiy NPZ, Southern Russia.
Honeywell will deliver a comprehensive set of services to equip the Tuapse refinery with a single integrated production control system – Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS). With Experion PKS, the refinery will be able to improve both the efficiency and profitability of its production process. Honeywell will also provide assistance during the design and commissioning stages of the project.
In addition, Honeywell will implement its UniSim® Operations Suite process simulation software to increase staff safety and minimize operator errors at the refinery. Honeywell will also equip the site with Profit® Suite and Manufacturing Execution Systems to help improve the efficiency and reliability of the production process.
The refinery is currently undergoing a complete upgrade, including the construction of a new distillation unit with a total capacity of 12 million tons per year as well as a number of utilities, infrastructure and offsite facilities. The second stage of the upgrade project will involve the construction of a deep conversion facility.
"Honeywell's solutions have long proven themselves to be reliable and efficient. We know that implementing Honeywell's Experion PKS automation system will help make controlling the production process both safer and easier," said Yegor Bagrin, head metrologist, Tuapsinskiy NPZ.
"We have been working with Tuapse Refinery for over 10 years, and this new project represents one of the most important enterprises in the south of Russia," said Leonid Sorkin, general manager, Honeywell Russia. "Besides implementing a modern production automation system, we have also provided computer-based operator training simulators. Our solutions will help improve cost efficiency and product quality at the refinery."
This project continues Honeywell's long relationship with Tuapsinskiy NPZ, where Honeywell previously supplied the refinery with both an instrumentation and control system for the plant's crude oil and vacuum distillation unit.

New contract, new vote, new Martin County attorney
This article has been modified from an earlier version.
STUART — Martin County has a new county attorney and the city of Stuart is short one, after commissioners voted Tuesday unanimously to employ Michael Durham.
"We're delighted to have you," said commission chairwoman Sarah Heard.
Durham, who has worked for the city of Stuart for a year and a half, was the top choice to replace Stephen Fry as county attorney. Negotiations for the contract went sour at the last commission meeting, after two commissioners raised concerns with the amount of paid time off the contract allowed for and a $100,000 life insurance policy.
Now, with changes like the reduction of paid time off to 160 hours and the elimination of the life insurance policy, all commissioners were in agreement on the new hire.
The contract includes a $140,000 base salary, an annual performance review, ...", and allows Durham to continue work as an attorney for the Highland County Sheriff's Office outside of the normal working hours of the county attorney's office.
"I think at the end of our prior meeting, eight o'clock (p.m.) was not probably the time to get into what was being discussed," said Commissioner Doug Smith, who initially voted against hiring Durham. "Thank you for the time. I think the time was worth it."

8* CFB ATS Play
8* CFB ATS Play
Louisiana Tech vs. Kansas, 09/21/2013 12:00 EDT, Score: 10 - 13
Point Spread: -10/-110 Kansas
Sportsbook: BETONLINE
Result: Loss
Kansas –10
The Kansas Jayhawks only won one game last season. It might seem strange to be backing them as a 10 point favorite, but I actually believe this line should be closer to 14 points.
Kansas brought in a lot of talent during the offseason, and I expect the Jayhawks to be a lot more competitive in 2013. Jake Heaps is a big upgrade for Kansas at the quarterback position.
Kansas has a lot more athleticism on the team, and I think that will start showing up this weekend.
Louisiana Tech was a very good team last season, but they return only 7 starters from last year's team. Louisiana Tech is still getting too much credit for what they did last season.
The Bulldogs were beaten at home by a mediocre Tulane team last week.
Louisiana Tech has a real mess at the quarterback position. They haven't settled on a true starter, and it seems like no one is stepping up.
The Bulldogs defense is weak on the defensive line, and Kansas should be able to run for a lot of yards here.
Kansas is a much better team than last season, and Louisiana Tech is much worse than last season. The value is on Kansas.
Take the Jayhawks. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Brocton pick up vital point in push for title
Posted: April 02, 2014|
Bolehall Swifts 1 Brocton 1
BROCTON picked up a point from their visit to fellow title chasers Bolehall Swifts on Tuesday and now need nine more from their remaining six games to be crowned Midland Combination Premier champions.
It was a perfect night for football and both teams were full of attacking intent.
Bolehall made the early running, playing the ball beyond the Brocton back line and pressing high themselves to try to catch Brocton's attacking players off side should they mount a counter attack.
Related content
Adam Whitehouse in Brocton's goal was the first of the keepers to make a save, beating out a fierce drive from Michael Pollard but his counterpart Tom McNulty was soon in the action making a great save with his legs from Sam Bell when the Brocton player bore in on goal.
Bell was off target on the quarter hour as his drive at goal from a half cleared corner needed a sharp response.
Both defences were coping with their tasks and looking solid, but on the break Bolehall forced a corner. It was hit deep and headed back into the danger area where the first contest for the loose ball was indecisive, the ball running loose. Chris Sturridge-Packer was first to react and he drove the ball home to give the home side the lead.
That seemed to encourage both teams to redouble their efforts in attack. Bolehall were keen to cement their advantage by trying to add to it and Brocton were stung into an all-out attempt to get back in the game.
Just after the half hour a high clearance from Whitehouse was won by Seb Hamilton and his subsequent shot could only be deflected for a corner.
Then Dan Lomas chased for and won the ball deep in opposition territory, taking it to the edge of the box before shooting. McNulty saved but could only push the ball back into play where Dave Berks collected and returned the ball to the area where it was headed wide.
As the half drew to a close Gary Fife got the ball into the net, but found himself to be off side when Hamilton headed on a Whitehouse kick.
If anything, the second half was more frenetic and Bell had another fine effort bravely saved by McNulty before Berks volleyed the loose ball over the bar.
Bell was in full flow by now and he broke beyond the back line, slotting past McNulty with the defence in his wake for the equaliser.
There was plenty of drama to come as Simeon Smith got himself past Rob Tomlinson from a long clearance with only Whitehouse to beat. Tomlinson tried to tackle but fouled Smith and was sent off for his trouble. The free kick was well saved by Whitehouse.
A reshuffle saw Matt Skinner on for the impressive Dan Lomas and soon after Damien Charie for Hamilton and Charlie Jones for Richard Allen.
Bell got through again and was brilliantly tackled and for Bolehall, Joseph Obi got into a shooting position but could not get his effort on target, but an entertaining game finished with honours even.
