A few big handfuls of yellow corn tortilla chips
With large spoon spread out beans in ring on large microwave-safe dinner plate, leaving about 4 inches in center of plate clear. (That?s where you?re going to pile chips). Spread sour cream and then salsa over beans. Sprinkle about half the cheese and then cilantro over everything. As you build up layers, be sure to leave space in the center of plate empty.
Microwave on high 2 minutes. Remove plate from microwave, pile chips in center of plate, and sprinkle remaining cheese over chips. Return plate to microwave and nuke again on high 1 minute, until cheese has melted. Use pot holder to take plate out of oven; it will be hot. Garnish with more chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
Make this in no time. Almost everything is from a bag or a can.

This symposium issue of the Drexel Law Review marks the anticipated launch of a new section on Law and South Asian Studies of the Association of American Law Schools, including several contributions that were initially presented during a session of the proposed section at the AALS Annual Meeting for 2010. The proposed AALS section comes at a moment of heightened interest in the region among lawyers, policymakers, and the public at large in the United States, and is part of a rapidly growing constellation of scholarly initiatives on law in South Asia that have emerged internationally in recent years.

Most of the people who live under some version of the common law today live in South Asia, as do a large portion (perhaps a majority) of those who live under a working constitutional democracy. Nevertheless, until very recently this part of our world was quite invisible to the American legal academy and profession. It is a pleasure to introduce this symposium, apparently the first of any mainstream American law review to focus on South Asian law. Its appearance is one of several markers that the neglect of South Asia by American law schools is being left behind.

The last two decades have seen an expansion of judicial power in developing and newly democratizing countries across the globe. The enhanced role for the judiciary, which some scholars have categorized as a "juristocracy," has accompanied a dialogue or at least a tendency for judges to look beyond their national borders at other courts for assistance in resolving difficult national, legal, and political disputes. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has drawn on the rationale of India's apex court to support public interest litigation, while India's courts have referred to judgments from South Africa, the United States, Canada and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to argue for a right to life with dignity. Such engagement with foreign laws has provoked criticism from influential judges like Justice Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court for eroding national sovereignty and even imposing foreign interpretations on culturally contextual national issues.

One day after the signing of the November 21, 2006 Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) between the Nepali government and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), Kathmandu's The Himalayan Times editorial board declared, "Nepal has entered into a new era of peace, democracy and governance." The CPA formally ended the more than ten-year conflict waged by Maoist insurgents since 1996. Over the next thirteen months, a new interim constitution was adopted, the royal family's property was nationalized, and a republic was declared, dissolving the world's last Hindu royal kingdom. National elections were held the following year. For hundreds of thousands of Nepalis, peace was a welcomed change. In the southern plains and hill regions, where much of the guerilla fighting had been concentrated, farmers were finally able to return to work.

In 2008, the Supreme Court of Nepal recognized what maternal health advocates in Nepal had known for decades: the status of reproductive health of women in Nepal is in a serious state, and it is also clear that no plan has been made to address this problem. In the present context, there are approximately six hundred thousand women suffering from the problem of uterus prolapse and it is also evident that no preventive or remedial programs focusing on problems relating to reproductive health and uterus prolapse have been initiated. The Supreme Court's proclamation in this case, Prakash Mani Sharma v. Government of Nepal (Sharma), marked the first time that a legal body, international or national, has recognized explicitly that a high incidence of uterine prolapse may constitute a violation of human rights, including specifically women's reproductive rights.

In 2004, the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly passed the Jammu and Kashmir Permanent Residents Disqualification Bill (the "Disqualification Bill"), which proposed that women who married nonstate subjects could no longer claim state subject status and would thereby lose both preferential treatment in government hiring and the ability to acquire new property in the State. Various political actors decried the Disqualification Bill's violation of Kashmiri women's fundamental rights under the Indian Constitution, while proponents of the Disqualification Bill issued apocalyptic pronouncements about the end of constitutionally guaranteed autonomy for Jammu and Kashmir if the Disqualification Bill failed to pass. Arguments for and against the Disqualification Bill fell largely along the lines of a false and dangerous dichotomy, casting feminism and Kashmiri autonomy as inherent opposites.

India produces more motion pictures than any other country. Indian cinema is synonymous with the extravagant musicals of "Bollywood," a portmanteau word that the Oxford English Dictionary credits the British detective novelist H.R.F. Keating with inventing. There also exists a parallel arthouse genre of Indian cinema. Internationally, the most well-known proponent of the latter school is probably the late Bengali director Satyajit Ray, whose many laurels include an honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. Throughout history, these two divergent cinematic schools have shared an unfortunate common characteristic—that of rigorous state censorship.

Up to now, the oceans have buffered climate change considerably by absorbing almost one third of the worldwide emitted carbon dioxide. The oceans represent a significant carbon sink, but the uptake of excess CO2 stemming from mans burning of fossil fuels comes at a high cost: ocean acidification.
Research on ocean acidification is a newly emerging field and was one of the major topics at this years European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly held in Vienna in April. The European Science Foundation EUROCORES (European Collaborative Research) programme EuroCLIMATE, which addresses in particular global carbon cycle dynamics, organized and co-sponsored several sessions on ocean acidification.
The chemistry is very straight-forward: ocean acidification is linearly related to the amount of CO2 we produce. CO2 dissolves in the ocean, reacts with seawater and decreases the pH. Since the industrial revolution, the oceans have become 30 percent more acidic (from 8.2 pH to 8.1 pH). Under a business as usual scenario, predictions for the end of the century are that we will lower the surface ocean pH by 0.4 pH units, which means that the surface oceans will become 150 percent more acidic and this is a hell of a lot , said Jelle Bijma, chair of the EuroCLIMATE programme Scientific Committee and a biogeochemist at the Alfred-Wegener-Institute Bremerhaven. Ocean acidification is more rapid than ever in the history of the earth and if you look at the pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) levels we have reached now, you have to go back 35 million years in time to find the equivalents continued Bijma. A maximum allowed change in pH, where the system is still controllable, needs to be found. This is a major challenge considering the multifaceted unknowns that still are to be clarified. This so-called tipping point is currently estimated to allow a drop of about 0.2 pH units, a value that could be reached in as near as 30 years. More research and further m

By Wendyl Nissen on 14th December 2012, in Cakes & Baking, Christmas, Christmas Recipes, Dessert, Food & recipes, Special Occasions, Wendyl Nissen's Pantry
With a few weeks left till the 25th, it's not too late to make a Christmas cake. Traditionally you would have made it months before and stashed it away to mature and become rich in flavour. But my favourite recipe needs just a few weeks to mature and it makes a lovely, lighter cake than the traditional heavy, dark cake.
This recipe was handed down to me from my grandmother. I call it Fitzroy Christmas Cake because my grandparents lived in Fitzroy, New Plymouth but it's probably best known as Ginger Ale Christmas Cake. I always make several of these a few weeks out from Christmas Day, wrap them in foil and store them in a dark cupboard until needed.
My stash of cakes usually sees us through Christmas, then a month at the caravan at the beach. If you are thinking of making some homemade mince pies this year then you have just enough time to whip up your own fruit mince.
The stuff you buy ready-made often has bits of red and green jelly which are artificially coloured and are meant to imitate cherries, so it's nicer if you can make your own. You just need two weeks to let it sit and develop in sealed jars, so if you get cracking now, you'll be ready for the week leading up to Christmas. This recipe is one of former Weekly food editor Tui Flower's wonderful creations.
Fruit mince
- 1 cup currants
- 1 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup sultanas
- 1 cup mixed peel
- 1/2 cup well-drained pineapple pieces (tinned)
- 1/4 cup blanched almonds
- 225g apples
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp mixed spice
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brandy or rum
- 125g clarified butter
1. Chop the currants, raisins, sultanas and peel and place in a bowl. Chop the pineapple and almonds coarsely and add them to the fruit.
2. Peel and core the apples and chop finely. Add lemon rind and juice to the apple, together with the sugar, spices and brandy or rum. Mix well together.
3. Melt the butter over a low heat and pour into the fruit mixture. Stir until the butter is blended into the mixture.
4. Spoon into dry jars and seal. Allow to mature for at least two weeks before using.
Ginger ale Christmas cake
- 1kg mixed fruit (sultanas, currants, dried peel)
- 300ml dry ginger ale
- 1 tsp rum essence (I just use brandy)
- 125g butter
- 250g sugar
- 2 dessertspoons golden syrup
- 4 eggs
- 375g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp mixed spice
1. Soak the fruit with the ginger ale and essence overnight.
2. In the morning, preheat the oven to 150°C. Cream butter and sugar, then stir in the golden syrup and add the eggs one at a time, beating well.
3. Add the dry ingredients and finally the soaked fruit along with any liquid that's left behind.
4. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours.

Mood Enhance with SAMe – Out of Stock.
The Product You Love at the Price You Want, Select Your Discount:
Most Powerful natural ingredients to bring hormonal balance and health to every cell in your body!
SAM-e Scientific Name: S-adenosyl methionine (SAM-e)
Suggested Use: Take dose first thing in the morning, at least 30 minutes before food. Only on an empty stomach.
One of the best studied effects of SAM-e is its potential to enhance neurotransmitter levels. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages from nerve cells to other cells and then they are re-absorbed into the body. Low levels of the neurotransmitters, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin are associated with depression. SAM-e is known to raise levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, and it may also accelerate the production, absorption, and re-release of serotonin. Although possible additional antidepressant actions of SAM-e have not been confirmed, results of some studies suggest that SAM-e may increase the sensitivity of receptors that react to these neurotransmitters or improve the ability of neurotransmitters to attach to active receptors. All of these effects are thought to help relieve depression.
GABA Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays an important role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone.
St. John's Wort
St. John's wort is a plant with yellow flowers whose medicinal uses were first recorded in ancient Greece. The name St. John's wort apparently refers to John the Baptist, as the plant blooms around the time of the feast of St. John the Baptist in late June.
Common Names: St. John's wort, hypericum, Klamath weed, goat weed
Latin Name: Hypericum perforatum
What It Is Used For
- St. John's wort has been used for centuries to treat mental disorders and nerve pain.
- St. John's wort has also been used as a sedative and a treatment for malaria, as well as a balm for wounds, burns, and insect bites.
- Today, St. John's wort is used by some for depression, anxiety, and/or sleep disorders.

YIELD: Serves 6
- 1/2 pound shallots
- 3 pounds baby artichokes (20 to 30)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
Halve shallots lengthwise. Pull tough outer leaves (about 5 layers) from artichokes so they resemble tight rosebuds. Cut off top third of each artichoke and discard. Trim stem ends and halve artichokes through stems.
In a large heavy skillet heat oil and butter over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté artichokes and shallots, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add broth and simmer, covered, 15 minutes, or until artichokes are almost tender. Add wine and boil, uncovered, until liquid is evaporated.
Toss braised vegetables with parsley and season with salt and pepper.

While kids enjoy time spent in the company of family and friends, maintenance crewmembers in Barnstable Schools are spending this vacation week tending house.
"We do a lot of deep cleaning of areas we don't have time to get to during the normal school day," said David Kanyock, facilities director for the district. "Basic preventative maintenance you can't do when kids are in schools."
That includes replacement of flooring at Barnstable High School, installing new equipment in school kitchens and making fire safety and electrical improvements.
Kanyock also said that maintenance duties have also involved cleanup from the Feb. 15 blizzard.
"Part of this week was taken up with cleaning up from the storm," he said.
According to Kanyock, the storm caused some damage to the girls softball field backstop at BHS, and small tree damage across the district.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Here's the deal, as proposed by Tony Basso:
If Carbon County will drop Salt Lake radio station KODJ from one of its radio translators and replace it with Basso's KASL, the local station will change its format to "oldies" and will cover the costs of installing the hardware to make the switch.
Since the Salt Lake station plays oldies, "People won't notice any difference except they'll be hearing local advertising," Basso told the commission Tuesday. He also presented a list of radio station ratings from September 2009 showing that KODJ and KRSP were at the bottom of the heap for listeners in Carbon County.
The commission asked for the ratings at its last meeting, seeking to avoid a major uproar among the county's radio fans if it should grant the request.
As reported earlier, KASL 1080 AM can only broadcast between sunup and sundown, which means it's off the air more than on during the winter. By translating to a signal on FM 104.9, it could offer local businesses 24/7 advertising.
Basso's request to switch out KODJ does not let KRSP off the hook, however. The discussion segued into an additional request from a competing local radio station, the venerable KOAL. Paul Anderson informed the commission that even though KOAL does have a 24-hour broadcast license, it cannot broadcast everywhere all the time.
As soon as the sun sinks in the west, KOAL has to stop sending its AM signal to the east part of the county. That's because there is an AM station in Atlanta, GA, that broadcasts on the same frequency. KOAL cannot interfere with an earlier licensee. [AM signals bounce off the upper level of the atmosphere at night and can travel hundreds or thousands of miles because the waves can move around the curvature of the Earth.]
Anderson explained that listeners in Wellington and East Carbon/Sunnyside are blocked after sundown. This is not just a matter of missing out on KOAL's news/talk programs, he continued. The Federal Communications Commission has designated the station as part of the emergency notification system. So the KOAL request is a public safety issue, Anderson noted.
KOAL even offered to buy the translator if the county wanted to sell it.
That offer did not stir up much enthusiasm. The commissioners and Frank Brady, who oversees the county's communications, were not anxious to enter what is as yet unknown territory of FCC rules regarding sale of rights to the public airwaves. It's already clear, Brady added, that the county cannot collect payment for the use of its translators.
Brady also brought up questions about maintenance responsibilities and expenses. For example, if either KOAL or KASL should go dead, how would he tell if the problem was at the county's Star Point translators or with the transmitters at the local stations themselves? "I hate to go up to Star Point in the winter," he declared.
There was also a question about regulatory matters regarding a switch for KOAL. While the county probably would have no problem bringing KASL aboard, KOAL may have a different class of FCC license that could complicate matters.
Uncertainty about regulatory issues prompted the commission to postpone decisions pending further research. There was also a question about whether the county should enter a contract or memorandum of understanding with the local stations. It has no contracts with the Salt Lake stations and can drop them at any time without notice, but Commissioner Mike Milovich noted that the stations might want the assurance of a "time certain" agreement to justify the investment they'll have to make.
Basso replied he didn't need such an agreement, declaring that if his station wasn't delivering, the county should be able to yank it off the air anyway.

About Us
Big enough to handle any janitorial or building maintenance job, yet small enough to provide personalized service and customized programs, Sure-Bright Enterprises, Inc. has proven to be the perfect fit for southeastern Connecticut businesses since 1994.
Being a totally independent operation, enables Sure-Bright to provide a uniquely customer-oriented service that combines reliability and attention to detail, along with customized programs and leadership in the use of green technology. It's easy to see why so many companies that started with Sure-Bright Enterprises, as many as 15 years ago, have stayed with them.
Family-owned and operated business with Patsy Heller, serving at President, and Chris Heller, as Operations Manager, Sure-Bright Enterprises is the janitorial/building maintenance company that building owners and managers never need to be concerned with. The job is done right every night, thanks to Sure-Bright's "out of sight; out of mind approach." Each morning, workers and customers are greeted by a clean, sanitized environment.
That's because Sure-Bright's screened and uniformed employees have been hard at work in the off-hours, handling both basic and periodic janitorial services. Basic duties include, but are not restricted to, emptying trash, sanitizing restrooms and breakrooms, vacuuming, cleaning glass and maintaining common areas. Periodic services, like cleaning exterior glass, stripping and refinishing tile and grout, carpet cleaning, and upholstery cleaning, will have your place of business looking like new. Employees also conduct safety checks, and report any deficiencies as part of their nightly duties.
Sure-Bright's environmentally friendly approach allows us to keep work areas clean without the use of harsh chemicals. Using technology and equipment pioneered by companies such as Tennent and Hillyard Company, floors are cleaned using Tennent's echo-2, which electrically converts plain tap water into a powerful, ionized cleaning solution that emulsifies dirt and grime, and sanitizes surfaces. When the cleaning process is completed, the liquid returns to tap water, achieving the same performance provided by harsh chemicals, but with earth-friendly results. The vacuums used by Sure-Bright are not only 99.9% efficient at keeping particulates from returning to the atmosphere, but also kills spores once inside the vacuum bag.
This forward-thinking approach to cleaning – along with the superior results achieved – are some of the many reasons that Sure-Bright Enterprises has been able to build a strong, loyal customer base.
We currently provide commercial cleaning and janitorial services to several major towns in south eastern Connecticut (CT) including East Lyme, Waterford, Old Saybrook, Groton, New London, Mystic, Stonington, Norwich, Montville and beyond.
Contact us, and join this very satisfied group of businesses.

Minneapolis Felon Pleads Guilty To Possessing A .40-caliber Handgun
MINNEAPOLIS—Earlier today in federal court in St. Paul, a 37-year-old felon pleaded guilty to possessing a .40-caliber handgun. Lamarco Trease Bell, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Bell, who was indicted on December 20, 2011, entered his plea before United States District Court Judge Richard H. Kyle.
In his plea agreement, Bell admitted that on December 7, 2011, he possessed the gun. During the execution of a state search warrant, officers found the loaded weapon in a locked bedroom in Bell's residence. Bell was found holding the key. In addition, police discovered cocaine, crack cocaine, and marijuana, along with $3,000 in cash.
According to a law enforcement affidavit filed in the case, authorities began investigating Bell in September of 2011. Because he is a felon, Bell is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms at any time. In 2001, he was convicted in the District of Wyoming for possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
For his crime, Bell faces a potential maximum penalty of ten years in prison. Judge Kyle will determine his sentence at a future hearing.
This case is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Minneapolis Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey S. Paulsen.
Note, this case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods ("PSN"), an initiative launched by the
U.S. Justice Department in 2001 to promote a multi-jurisdictional, comprehensive approach to
reducing gun crime in America. PSN provides resources to strengthen law enforcement and
crime prevention partnerships that work to make our communities safer.

A two-disc CD set documenting Led Zepppelin's reunion of a lifetime.
On December 10, 2007, Led Zeppelin took the stage at London's O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two-hour-plus tour de force of the band's signature blues-infused rock 'n' roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. And now this historic perfomance has been documented in the Led Zeppelin Celebration Day CD two-disc set.
Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalog including landmark tracks "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock And Roll," "Kashmir," and "Stairway To Heaven." Although 20 million people applied for tickets, the band's first headline show in 27 years was seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through the worldwide lottery.

Scott Horton Interviews Ron Kukal
Ron Kukal, former US Navy Petty Officer and USS Liberty survivor, discusses his firsthand account of Israel's attack on the Liberty on June 8, 1967; the carnage of dead sailors below decks from the Israeli torpedo strike; Phil Tourney's book What I Saw That Day; how PTSD still effects Kukal's life and family relationships; the dangers facing Liberty survivors who dare tell the truth about the attack; and Kukal's thanks to the rescue ships and sailors who saved the Liberty from sinking and helped get it back to port.
MP3 here. (23:35)
Ron Kukal is a former chaplain for the USS Liberty Veterans Association. He was a US Navy 1st Class Petty Officer stationed on the USS Liberty during Israel's attack on June 8, 1967.
21 Responses to "Ron Kukal"
Much respect to Mr Kukal, and the other souls on board that ship. Thanks for the interview scott
Illusions of good — Blind the mind by burning the emotions
This interview should have been all about the root cause and solution to the problem, instead it was 100% about the bloody effects of the problem. And just like corporate owned mainstream media, which never mentions the root cause or solution to anything, all this interview accomplished is make people disgusted with the problem, such that they back away from the problem giving the rich unlimited freedom to do as they please with the problem.
As to the chaplain's opinion that heaven protects our good nation in time of war, such that good sailors in a good Navy are saved from death because they are so good, surely this does a gross manifest injustice to any deity that may be over all of heaven and earth. For the purpose of wars is to reach the ultimate conclusion of misery, and until that happens heaven shall not intervene in the affairs of men.
The Navy has an overabundance of mortuary sailors to take care of the dead, so why were the sailors who suffered such a horrific disaster required to piece together the body parts of their closest friends? Because a complete blackout was this historic event to be from all history books and only those who suffered the disaster were to know anything about it.
Additional proof most absolute that our corporate rich have absolute control over our military, and of those officers invited to banquettes among High Society to hand-pick each and every admiral and general who rules the military.
I've read over at Military.com some quite heated exchanges over this. Of course there are the usual apologists for Israel but the question that always comes to my mind is even if you were to excuse the Israelis for mistaking the ship as Egyptian, while traveling at hundreds of miles per hour, there could be no excuse for the patrol boats who slowly sauntered in and began torpedoing and machine gunning people to death. To say THAT was a "mistake" is an outright lie.
Where was the blame to fall?
Whether one believes that Israel rules Empire USA or that the Western corporate rich rules nations, a key issue is why did President LBJ allow the USS Liberty with all its high-tech equipment that could intercept most any communication, why did he allow it to be sailing near the 1967 invasion-genocide of Palestine?
Was Palestine or perhaps Egypt to be blamed for the sinking of the USS Liberty?
I've heard two explanations for the Israeli attack; to prevent the discovery of Egyptian prisoner's executions, or to conceal Israeli troop movements in the Golan Heights. At risk of being labeled a conspiracy theorist, I propose another possibility. I suspect the operation may have been conceived in upper ranks of LBJ's administration and assigned to the Israelis for execution. The Gulf of Ton kin incident a few years earlier was a weak fabrication that could have unraveled with even modest investigative journalism. A survivor-less sinking would not be subject to question. Might explain why attack aircraft dispatched from USN carriers to defend the USS Liberty from further attack were recalled by none other than LBJ himself. The false flag sinking would have given LBJ pretext for a war with Egypt.
I wouldn't put it past the SOB but that doesn't absolve the trigger happy Israelis. It's ironic that I've read where some pilots came forth and admitted what had happened was deliberate but where are the navy men on those patrol boats and their "confessions"?
NOT in its 60+ years of existence has Israel ever been an 'ally' or a 'friend' of the US.
One Israeli pilot was even courtmartialed by Israel for his refusal to continue to strafe the lifeboats filled with US Sailors.
B – 52 aircraft had been launced toewards Egypy – but – had to be called back when a sailor aboard the Liberty notified the Government that it was an attack by Israel.
Johnson and McNamar committed TREASON by calling back the US aircraft sent to defend the Liberty.
Shame on Israel for its deliberate attack on the USS Liberty – shame on Israel for ALL of the war crimes that they've committed in its 60+ years.
Had this atrocity been committed by any other country, there would have been hell to pay but because it was Israel who did this they get a pass because AIPAC and other israeli lobbies have a stranglehold over our government and its foreign policy. When will Americans and kick the traitorous bums who are beholden to Israeli special interest out of Congress and replace them with true patriots?
Kukal and the rest of LIBERTY's crew have good reason to be proud of themselves–their gallantry and seamanship saved their ship. And don't forget LIBERTY's skipper, the late Captain William McGonagle, USN–he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
The Zionist liars in Tel Aviv claim that LIBERTY resembled an Egyptian horse freighter, or something. Bullshit. LIBERTY was a distinctive-looking ship. Her superstructure was festooned with special eletronics gear.
(Mistaking a ship's identity is not unknown, of course. A famous WW2 incident involved a mistaken attack on the cruiser H.M.S. SHEFFIELD by Swordfish torpedo bombers from H.M.S. ARK ROYAL. The planes were on their way to attack the battleship BISMARCK. SHEFFIELD was shadowing BISMARCK, and the Swordfish mistook her for the enemy. Fortunately, SHEFFIELD evaded several torpedoes. This incident, of course, took place under the stress of combat.)
A "friend" like Israel is worth, say, 20 enemies!
You know, I've sometimes wondered what would have happened if it had been a Soviet vessel the Israelis attacked. How would Premier Alexei Kosygin have reacted? You reckon he would have put a major hurtin' on Tel Aviv?!
I have an alias over at Huffpo… I posted on the USS Liberty incident….
It was unreal the number of firsters that jumped on board …defending israel…
one …named Trance would not stop….
saying everything was a lie…
saying in the end that anyone would didnt support israel over the US in this situation was un-America….
that is the supposed friends of the US…
The firsters are too dogmatic to submit to any facts. They are well beyond reason.
In 2003, Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, USN (Ret.)–ex-Chief of Naval Operations, ex-chairman of the JCS–held an independent inquiry into the LIBERTY attack. He and his associates roundly slammed Israel for the attack. They also condemned the U.S. Government's subservience to Israel.
Here's the report of the Moorer Commission. I call your attention to the first 12 paragraphs: http://gtr5.com/evidence/moorer.htm
Even as an Australian this interview is so hard to listen to. Its just so damn sad and frustrating to know that the firsters that severely dominate the US government and media will continue to treat its own people as cannon fodder. Like Ron said the only people that will receive comfort is the christians that believe that God held that boat up on that day and will bring perfect justice to this earth one day.
news. Scott you can't stop. I will throw a good monthly donation your way. I don't have tons of money, but you are worth more than a few dollars a month to m
Excellent and decent post. Very nice post.
I really like this post. It is very interesting topic and the author is really clever and broadminded person
every day I take the time to see the article with useful content
I made a mistake on the time of the attack. In all actuality the time of the attack was 1400 not 1300. We had General Quarters exercise at 1300 until 1400. Sorry for the mistake.

Two Schools down, one to go.
Our first ever Rules School in Colombia finished yesterday. Feeling a bit tired.
In the course of a year we conduct an average of six Rules and Referees Schools around the world and it is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job with The R&A. They are a great opportunity to visit new places and meet new people, try the local food and drink, play the odd game of golf and learn more about golf in different places and to teach the principles of the game and officiating.
The venue was Lagartos Country Club - two golf courses, tennis, squash, swimming pool, restaurants. Lovely - if only there had been time to sit by the pool.
It was quite different to the Costa Rican School. We had approximately 60 delegates and many of them were very knowledgeable and experienced Rules officials already - a real credit to the Colombian Golf Federation and Pedro Cárdenas, who is responsible for the Federation's officials. As they were more experienced, the questions were noticeably tougher and there was a greater interest in refereeing, not just in knowing the Rules.
The final afternoon of our Rules Schools - after the delegates had recovered from the pleasure of sitting the Rules of Golf Examination - focuses on refereeing and what it takes to be a good Rules official. We give some tips on refereeing, discuss good and bad practices, and, in a role-play session, each delegate is given the chance to act as an official with The R&A's instructors acting as the players (mostly well-behaved, but not always!). Unfortunately the first rain to fall in many weeks in Bogotá meant that we had to curtail the role-play session and concentrate on additional video footage of referees at work.
Aside from conducting the School, we had an opportunity to learn about golf in Colombia, what the Federation was doing to grow the game and how The R&A could help. We had a very informative visit to the Federation's driving range and pitch-and-putt facility in the centre of Bogotá. It was a hive of activity, full of people hitting balls and practising. It was absolutely great to see children as young as five years old being given tuition as part of the Federation's initiative to develop golf. They were having such fun. A future Open Champion from within the ranks?

The entirety of Thailand is positively magical and it truly is hard to pick one spot over another this is more beautiful. But, in a pinch, I will say that I'm partial to the narrow section in the southern part of the country that is bordered by gorgeous beaches and water on either side. Phuket is one of Thailand's incredible jewels, sitting on a tiny peninsula on the Andaman Sea. This spot offers some of the most unforgettable views in all of Thailand and some of its most pristine and picturesque beaches. This makes it the perfect spot for a world-class resort, right? Absolutely, and The Shore at Katathani is just the place.
The Shore is a completely idyllic luxury resort that sits directly on Kata Noi Beach in Phuket. This captivating resort seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors by offering seaside villas that allow guests to step right out of bed in the morning and out onto the beach. Accommodations range from simple to luxurious villas with private pools and every single amenity you could ever want. And even though you'll feel like you're in a far-flung location and in your own little slice of heaven, the service, food and conveniences at The Shore are sophisticated and top notch. Your entire trip to paradise will be a dream when you slip away to stay at The Shore.

The City of Albuquerque has four Health and Social Services Centers: Alamosa, East Central, John Marshall, and Los Griegos—one located in each quadrant of the city.
These Centers were designed to encourage the co-location of public and private non-profit providers of social and health services in the neighborhoods where their client populations live. They were conceived as "one-stop-shops" for the convenience of low to moderate income residents needing these services.
The services offered by the health and social service agencies are available to any eligible residents of the City of Albuquerque. Fees are based on income eligibility, insurance, or a sliding fee scale. The City of Albuquerque initiated this partnership program, leasing office and clinic space to the agencies, to provide additional services to the community.
The City of Albuquerque provides services to low and moderate-income residents in the form of emergency food, clothing, and utility and rental assistance, as funding is available. Personal identification & proof of residence are required in order to receive assistance. Center staff also provides activities and seasonal services, and most Centers have meeting space available for the use of neighborhood and community groups.
For further information, or specific program eligibility requirements, please speak with a Program Specialist at the Center nearest to you.

According to our weather forecasters, it looks like we are getting ready for another swing in our weather.
The cool, wet weather pattern was great for my peas, greens and potatoes, but I am starting to think maybe I should have waited one more week before putting the tomatoes and peppers out.
Our rollercoaster ride from hot and dry to cool and wet and back again is good news for some and bad for others.
So how do precipitation and temperature affect plants? Well, in every way possible.

The last time Harrison County lost a baseball game was April 19 at home against Scott High.
Since that time, the 28-4 Breds have won 16 in a row and look to add another district championship this week to the many they have already won.
An away game on Wednesday at Clark County and senior night on the Hilltop Thursday night closed out the regular season.
The Cardinals, who feature the second best record in the 10th Region, were on a two-game losing record coming into the game at 26-7 for the year.
Harrison County landowners still have time to sign up for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) at their local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office but the deadline for getting signed up for the second CSP ranking period is quickly approaching. According to NRCS District Conservationist Richard Bowling, now is the time for landowners and producers who have considered applying for CSP to get signed up and submit documentation. USDA has announced the national cutoff date for CSP is June 11, which requires landowners submit applications quickly.
The Anness family reunion will be held Sunday, June 6. A potluck lunch will be served at noon at Northside Elementary School. All family and friends are invited to attend.

Eight of the children went to Illinois in early 1800s and the other five stayed in Kentucky. Anyone with Cummins family connections is invited to attend.
The Harrison County tennis teams finished up the season with first round wins and second round losses in the regional last week.
The boys' singles had the Smith brothers, Charlie and Ross, each win a match and lose one.
Ross, by virtue of the draw, had a first round bye, won the second round 6-0, 6-0, but lost in the third round to the No. 2 overall seed Freyberger of Highlands.

First, congrats! I'm not sure about the meds. Please be sure to ask your doctor about any meds. I had bronchitis and took some leftover syrup from the last time I had had it (when I wasn't pregnant) and found out that it was a no-no!

The code savvy folks at Google are proud to announce an improved version of Picasa, the search giant's free photo organizer and editor. Updates to Picasa are made on an ongoing basis. Updates may include bug fixes, performance enhancements, additional hardware/device support and other improvements, so users are encouraged to download the latest version of the software as soon as it becomes available.
Google says that Picasa 3.0.4 adds a new 'Export as HTML Page' feature, as well as a 'Shop' button, which allows you to order prints from regional print providers. Color profiles should now align with other viewing applications, in Picasa for Mac. Google also added support for deleting photos on network drives, while files and folders containing '/' will now be scanned and displayed. The new version also introduces stability fixes for video playback and moviemaker. Lastly, but probably most important for some, movies created in Picasa should now play correctly on YouTube.
Picasa doesn't store images, but only represents the actual directories containing photographs on your computer, saving you space, as well as eliminating the risk of bad manipulation. The application handles your iPhoto Library in the same way, with a small variation made for the way in which the latter organizes your photos. If you make edits in iPhoto, each album or event in your iPhoto Library will contain an "Originals" folder and a "Modified" one. Picasa is able to scan the photos and videos in both of them, and can display a single collective folder with the most recent version of each file.
According to the Google Mac Team, a few minor features like geotagging and webcam capture aren't functional yet, since Picasa for Mac is only in its early beta stages. Despite other, minor issues, Stuart Morgan, software engineer of the Google Mac team, trusts users to find "plenty to like" in this beta. "We're excited to get this release out into the hands of the Mac community at this year's Macworld! We're looking forward to making Picasa for the Mac even better, and to hearing what you think," he said.
Readers may download the latest version of Picasa for Mac using the link below.

5* Louisville/Cincinnati Blue Chip Vegas Insider
5* Louisville/Cincinnati Blue Chip Vegas Insider
Louisville vs. Cincinnati, 12/05/2013 19:30 EDT, Score: 31 - 24
Point Spread: -3/-115 Louisville
Sportsbook: BookMaker
Result: Win
5* Louisville/Cincinnati Blue Chip Vegas Insider
---Louisville Cardinals -3---
This game may mean more to the Bearcats, but Louisville is the better team and when it comes to big games my money is on the future NFL quarterback in the Cardinals Teddy Bridgewater. Cincinnati comes in on an impressive six-game winning streak, but outside of last week's win over Houston they haven't played anybody during that stretch. You also have to keep in mind that the Cougars came into that game off back-to-back heartbreaking losses to UCF and Louisville that completely ruined any hope of winning the AAC and playing in a BCS bowl.
I think there's too much focusing being paid to what the Bearcats have done of late and not that the fact that this team lost to Illinois by 28 points and lost to a South Florida team that has won two games all season. Both teams come in featuring high-powered pass attacks and top 10 ranked defenses. However, the Bearcats secondary has been exposed on several occasions. They allowed 300+ passing yards to both Illinois and Connecticut and 403 to SMU. Louisville's defense has allowed a single opponent all season to throw for more than 250 yards.
I believe that due to the Cardinals coming in having lost three straight and five of six against the spread, they are showing some big time value laying just a field goal. Louisville is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games following a loss against the spread and a perfect 6-0 ATS when they come in with 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread. BET THE CARDINALS -3!

The Real Problem With Demand Media is Google
The business of Demand Media is creating content in the form of articles and videos that search engines will crawl and feature prominently in the long tail of search results. Demand Media's achilles heel is that much of their Internet traffic and revenue rely on Google. Albeit, this is true for thousands of websites but none with the traffic and revenue of Demand Media and those other sites have not filed for an IPO either.
What should be scary for Demand Media is the notion that Google could turn off or drastically turn down the traffic spigot at any moment. Over the years all website owners held their collective breath upon every Google update of its algorithm hoping their site would be favored. We have all heard stories of sites that have disappeared from the top Google results for their keywords or have even been removed from the index entirely. This happened to tens of thousands of harmless Internet directories a couple of years ago.
Could content farms be next? And what Google does the other search engines tend to follow which makes Demand Media highly reliant on the good favor of Google. A very scary business model indeed!
Could Google possibly make changes to its algorithm that will slow down Demand Media's eHow.com traffic? Well, Google answered this question with an affirmative just last month. At Pubcon, the head of Google's Webspam team Matt Cutts said that, 'there is a debate going on internally at Google over whether they should consider content farms web spam'. What bigger example of a content farm than Demand Media? Many would consider Demand Media the poster child of a content farm.
On the other hand, has Demand Media risen the bar of their content quality above what a typical content farm generates? If you are a Demand Media investor you had better hope so.

As with any quick-release system, the Really Right Stuff quick-release system requires two parts: a plate and a clamp. You must have both pieces to make the system work.
The quick-release clamp is the foundation of the quick-release system. Our clamps can be mounted to just about anything: ballheads, pan-tilt heads, monopods, or even skydiving helmets (really, we're not kidding!). Once you have our quick-release clamp as your foundation, then you need to add a dedicated mounting plate for each piece of equipment that you want to mount in the clamp. Each camera body or collared lens will need its own mounting plate.
You own a Nikon D700 camera and these lenses: 17-55mm/f2.8, 105mm/f2.8 VR, and 70-200mm VR-II.
You need: a Really Right Stuff quick-release clamp, a Really Right Stuff plate for your camera body, and a Really Right Stuff plate for the collared 70-200mm lens. You don't need anything for the other two lenses because they don't have rotating tripod collars.
You own a Canon 1D Mark IV camera and these lenses: 17-55mm/f2.8, 180mm/f2.8 Macro, 70-200mm/f2.8L-IS
You need: a Really Right Stuff quick-release clamp, a Really Right Stuff plate for your camera body, and Really Right Stuff plates for the collared 180mm and 70-200mm lenses. You don't need anything for the other lens because it doesn't have a rotating tripod collar.
Really Right Stuff quick-release plates have a 45° dovetail that perfectly matches the dovetail jaws of our quick-release clamps. Most plates also come standard with safety stops that prevent the plates from accidentally slipping through the clamp. Our clamps integrate safety stop relief grooves that allow for greater adjustability. Plates can slide halfway through the clamp before stopping. Especially useful with long lenses when adjusting for the proper balance point.
All of our quick-release clamps are precision machined in the USA from solid aircraft grade aluminum and finished in a beautiful matte-black anodize. Excess mass is removed to minimize weight and all corners are radiused for comfort and beauty. Most clamps are contoured to incorporate a high contrast spirit level for quick initial leveling in the field.
Because the Really Right Stuff quick-release system offers implicit advantages, it's logical to buy a quality ballhead that comes with a Really Right Stuff clamp.
All of our ballheads can be purchased with our quick-release clamps already installed. We offer four sizes of ballheads: full-sized, mid-sized, compact, and ultra-light. We also offer a variety of different clamp styles to meet the needs of all shooters. Click here for more detailed information on Really Right Stuff ballheads.
There are a number of ballheads from other manufacturers that are available with Arca‑style clamps already mounted. These include the original Arca-Swiss B1, B1E, B1G Monoballs; the newer Arca-Swiss Z1sp, Z1dp, P1D, and C1 Cube; Foba's Superball & Mini-Superball; Kirk's BH-1 & BH-3; Acratech's Ultimate & V2 ballheads; Markin's MK-10 & MK-20 ballheads. There are also other good ballheads (notably Linhof Profi I and Profi II) that do not come with a quick-release clamp, but can be easily converted by adding one of our clamps. Click here for more detailed information on clamp compatibility with other heads.

Sustainability of Open Access Services
Report Phase 1 and 2: Scoping the challenge and consulting the stakeholders
Although some services that support Open Access have developed a sustainable business model, many started as projects and continue to run on recurrent project funding or goodwill. If these are critical components of the evolving scholarly communication system the foundation of Open Access is vulnerable. Knowledge Exchange has commissioned this study as part of a larger
programme of work
to look at the issue of sustaining key services into the long term.
This report focuses on phases one and two of the programme. Phase one was a scoping exercise, carried out mainly through a literature review and an extensive stakeholder interview exercise, to describe the services that are currently available or would be valuable in the future. It also investigated what roles stakeholders could play in this future scenario.
Phase two was a stakeholder consultation and engagement exercise. The aim was to engage stakeholders with the work programme so that they could contribute their views, get involved with the work and have a voice in the thinking about future scenarios.
The key services are presented for three future scenarios: 'Gold' Open Access, fully 'Green' Open Access and Green' Open Access supplementing subscription access as 'Gold' OA grows.
Three strategic areas are identified as having particular potential for future work. These are embedding business development expertise into service development; consideration of how to move money around the system to enable Open Access to be achieved optimally; and governance and coordination of the infrastructural foundation of Open Access. The report concludes with seven recommendations, both high-level and practical, for further work around these strategic areas.

Arrow's theorem [1963] states that a social welfare function (SWF) that simultaneously satis.es completeness, transitivity, independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) and Pareto principle is necessarily dictatorial in the sense that the social decision on any pair of candidates coincides with the strict preference of a fixed individual, the Arrow's dictator. When individual preferences are weak orders, no further description is provided on the social outcome as soon as the Arrow's dictator is indifferent on a pair of candidates. We provide in the present paper another proof of the Arrow's theorem using generalized binary constitutions. Moreover we completely characterize the set of Arrovian SWFs, those are complete and transitive SWFs that satisfy IIA and the Pareto principle.

Cast bronze medal commemorating the Pazzi Conspiracy by Bertoldo di Giovanni
Florence, Italy, AD 1478
Murder in the Cathedral
The medal tells the story of an attack on the Medici family, plotted by their rivals in Florence, which took place in the Cathedral (Duomo) on 26 April, 1478. The Pazzi family and their allies intended the murder of Lorenzo 'Il Magnifico' ('the Magnificent') de' Medici, who through his banking wealth and political influence, had made himself effective ruler of the Florentine republic (1469-92). The plot failed, and Lorenzo was able to consolidate his power. However, his younger brother Giuliano was killed, and subsequently turned into a kind of martyr.
This medal is only one of several works of art commissioned from leading artists which proclaimed the safety of the republic under Lorenzo, as well as mourning Giuliano. It was modelled by Bertoldo di Giovanni (about 1420-91), an artist then living in the Medici palace, who later taught Michelangelo. Although it was clearly intended as a piece of propaganda, the first edition of the medal was not large and in September 1478 a model for the medal was sent to Bertoldo's fellow medallist Andrea Guacialoti (1435-95) in Prato, for him to cast four specimens.
