The Iraq War began 10 years ago with a frenzied U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
However, it was later determined such weapons did not exist, and millions of Americans still are searching for meaning behind the lives lost in that conflict.
"We want to hope that it wasn't all in vain," said Robert Kramer, a history professor at St. Norbert College in De Pere. "We want to think it has meaning, that there was some purpose in doing what we did ... I think people are trying, 10 years later, to justify what was a tremendous mistake." ...

New Orleans plants 10,000th tree since Katrina
NEW ORLEANS - The Crescent City is getting greener - and leafier.
The devastation to the canopy of trees in the city by Hurricane Katrina is being repaired by the non-profit Parkway Partners, which has worked to replant trees to replace those lost or damaged by the 2005 storm.
On Thursday, the 10,000th tree was planted.
Work began immediately after the storm and was in collaboration with the city's Department of Parks and Parkways and funded from organizations such as the Edward Wisner Fund, Brown Foundation and American Forests Foundation.
Entergy announced at the event that it will contribute an additional $25,000 to Parkway Partners to encourage future plantings through the ReLeaf New Orleans initiative. Entergy has donated a total of $65,000 since Katrina.

One of the most important draft exercises NFL front offices go through in the weeks leading up to the draft is mocking various draft scenarios. No NFL team wants to be caught unprepared while on the clock, especially since the NFL decreased the amount of time teams have to make a pick a few years ago. GMs are calling other GMs to gauge interest in moving up or down in the draft to prepare for as many situations as possible so they have a plan in place once the clock starts ticking.
Today we are going to look at several scenarios that may present themselves to the Lions in the first round of the draft tomorrow night, and what the Lions options would be in those scenarios.
The largest determining factor in a teams desire to stay put or trade is the grades they have on their draft board. If a team is picking at 25 and they only have 21 players on their board graded as first rounders, they are going to look at trading up to 21 or trading down into the second round to maximize value. If they are unable to find a reasonable trade, they may be left to take the highest rated second round player at 25.
Now the Lions are going to have more than five players with first round grades on their board, so for them the gap between players grades will be a determining factor. If the top 15 players on the Lions board have similar grades, picking one at five does not represent value. In that scenario, they would try to trade down. If they have three players graded well above the next group of players, they may look to trade up.
In addition to the grades, many teams have certain values they place on specific positions. Generally speaking positional ranking in the first round is broken into groups. Quarterbacks, left tackles and pass rushers are the highest value positions. The second tier is defensive tackles, wide receivers and impact linebackers or defensive backs. Then the last tier is interior offensive lineman, linebackers and tight ends. These values explain why you rarely see tight ends, guards, defensive backs or middle linebackers in the top 10, they generally dont offer the same value as other positions.
Jimmy Johnson helped revolutionize the art of trading draft picks when he created the NFL Draft Trade Value Chart. The chart assigns certain point values to each pick and helps set guidelines for trade values. The chart was deemed out of date when rookie salaries soared, but now that they are under control, the chart is more relevant. In fact, after the high prices paid to move up in the draft last year, some feel the chart needs to be adjusted to increase the value of top 10 picks.
Here is a very simplistic example of the different scenarios that the Lions have mocked out in preparation for the first round of the draft.
Picking at No. 5: In my mind there are four players that stand out at the top of the draft, Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher, Dion Jordan and Sharrif Floyd. I dont see the Lions taking Floyd because of the amount of resources they have committed to Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley. Unless one of those two are not in the Lions long term plans, the Lions likely arent considering Floyd.
That leaves the two tackles and Jordan as the upper tier talent in the first round and then the second tier contains players like Ziggy Ansah, Lane Johnson, Jonathan Cooper, and Tavon Austin in their second tier. Barkevious Mingo and Dee Milliner may be in the second tier, but Mingo is too undersized to play DE for the Lions and I have heard from many sources that Milliner is incredibly overrated by the media and scouts think he is more likely to fall into the teens than go in the top five. Milliners injury history is coming to light as we get closer to the draft and he has had five surgeries in the last couple of years, which could be a huge red flag for the Lions.
My best guess is the top five players on the Lions board are: Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel, Dion Jordan, Lane Johnson, Ziggy Ansah.
Whichever of those players is left would most likely be the pick at five. My guess is Joeckel will end up going first overall to the Chiefs. Jacksonville is trying to drum up trade interest by saying they are interested in one of the tackles, but Im pretty sure they will take Jordan or potentially surprise everybody and take Geno Smith. Oakland seems like the perfect fit for Floyd or maybe Star Lotulelei, Ill go with Floyd though.
That leaves the Eagles as the critical team for the Lions. If Jordan doesnt go to the Jaguars, he could be in play at three or four. The Eagles are also rumored to be interested in Star Lotulelei, Fisher and possibly even Geno Smith at four.
I think the Eagles are the most likely team to get a shot at trading down if Fisher is on the board and they arent interested in him. The Dolphins, Cardinals and Chargers have all been rumored to want one of the offensive tackles, with Fisher being the most talked about of the three.
Assuming Joeckel, Jordan and Fisher are off the board, the Lions pick comes down to Johnson or Ansah. Ansah is riskier than Johnson and there is a lot more depth at pass rusher than offensive tackle at the top of this draft. If Fisher or Joeckel are there, one of them will be the pick.
Trading up to No. 3 or No. 4: Lets assume my projections for the Lions grades are correct and they have three players they consider potentially elite and then a drop off after them. If the drop off in grades is significant enough, the Lions may have to look into trading up to land one of those three.
My guess is the Lions would look to get up to three at the highest, since they would be guaranteed to land one of their top three. The more likely trade would come with the Eagles at four though.
If the Lions wanted to go up to three, it would very likely cost them their second round pick and they may get a sixth round pick back. So the terms of the trade would be the Lions giving up the fifth pick and 36th pick for the third pick and the 172nd pick. I honestly do not feel that any player at the top of this draft is worth that price, so I dont think this trade is viable, unless Oakland is so desperate to recoup draft picks that they would give the Lions a huge discount. Not likely.
So what is the cost to move up to four? The Eagles would only drop one spot which makes a trade a little less costly. The two teams would reach an agreement that the Lions wouldnt take who the Eagles want at four, which could make the trade a little more reasonable. Assuming the Eagles dont have any other offers, the Lions could possibly swing the trade by swapping first and third rounders this year and give up their fifth and sixth round picks. Making the final trade the fourth and 67th picks for the fifth, 65th, 137th and 171st picks.
The Lions would then take whichever of their top three players than fell to four. Once again, I do not see this trade offering a lot of value to the Lions, making a move up pretty unlikely.
Trading down inside the Top 10: Lets assume that the top three on the Lions board are gone and there is a big enough gap between the third and fourth player on the board that the Lions arent comfortable with the value they would get at five. What options do they have to move down?
The first option would be with the Browns, who have the sixth pick. This trade would have potential if the Browns want one of the defensive tackles or Geno Smith. The Browns would likely send the Lions their fourth and sixth round picks. Giving the Lions the sixth, 104th and 175th picks for the fifth. This trade would give the Lions some extra picks to protect against a high risk pick like Ansah or Johnson who are very raw, but have huge upside.
If the Lions arent sold on Johnson, the Cardinals are rumored to be desperate for a tackle. The Lions would probably be able to get Arizonas first and third rounders for the Lions first and fifth rounders. The Lions could potentially be looking at Ansah being on the board or maybe Milliner, Jonathan Cooper, Tavon Austin or Bjoern Werner.
The remaining teams in the top 10 would have to trade the following picks to the Lions to swing a trade up to the fifth pick: Bills (8th -- 71st and 105th overall), Jets (9th 72nd, 106th and 141st) and Titans (10th 70th, 107th, 142th.)
Those trade packages could be modified to include swaps of picks in rounds or some type of future pick to get the approximate value for the fifth pick, but this is more of an exercise to show the base value of the Lions pick.
The Lions have most likely spoken to all the teams in the top 10 and gotten a basic idea of what they would be willing to offer to move up. The framework of any potential deals is already in place and the deal would then be executed on draft night.
Trading down to 10-20: Trading down in the top 10 is very different than dropping down out of the top 10. The cost for a team outside the top ten is very steep and most teams dont have the picks to trade up without dipping into first or second round picks the following year. Many of the teams that have traded high future picks have ended up on the short end of the stick, so fewer and fewer teams are expected to do so.
There are two teams that have enough ammunition to come up to the top five without mortgaging their futures, the Dolphins and Rams.
The Dolphins would be able to get up to five with the 12th, 42nd and 146th picks or the 12th, 54th, and 82nd picks for the 5th straight up or the Lions may have to kick in the 137th pick.
The Rams have two first rounders, but I have heard from several sources that they are not interested in packaging the two to move up. They could use the 16th, 46th, 78th and 113th picks to move up. They also have two first rounders next year as a result of the RG3 deal, so they could be willing to part with one of them if there is a player they truly covet.
In both of these scenarios it is more likely that the Rams or Dolphins would surrender a pick in 2014 rather than give up 2013 third or fourth round pick. When teams surrender a future pick, it is considered to be one round lower than a current year pick. Teams usually use the point value of the 15th or 16th pick in a round to determine the value. For example the Rams second round pick this year is worth 440 points on the trade chart, but if they offered a second round pick in 2014 the point value would be the 15th pick in the third round this year, or 210 points.
If the Lions were to trade down out of the top 10, the Dolphins seem like the most viable trade partner. If the Lions would consider trading down with them, it is a clear indicator that their draft board doesnt have any players rated significantly higher than the others. Or that they feel the value gained in the trade makes up enough for the drop in the caliber of player they would get in the first round.
Trading down past No. 21: It is extremely rare to see a team trade into the top five from the final third of the first round, but if there is a team that could swing it its the 49ers. The 49ers have 13 picks and a talented enough team that 13 rookies wont be able to make the 53 man roster.
That being said, the 49ers would have to trade the 31st, 34th, 61st, 74th and 157th picks to get up to the top five. Again, there would probably be a future pick or two in there and maybe swapping positions in a couple rounds to reduce the number of picks in the deal. However, it is still costly to come all the way up even with all their picks.
This exercise has obviously been at a high level and it has eclipsed 2,200 words already. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. In this overview we just looked at trading up one or two slots or trading down from five. In the real War Room, the Lions are mocking scenarios where they trade down from five and possibly back up, or further down. Scenarios where they drop down at the top of the draft to give them ammunition to trade up in later rounds. These mocked situations are prepared for the first several rounds in advance and again on Thursday and Friday nights after those rounds conclude. These situations arent just mocked out for the Lions, they are mocking out what they expect other teams to do as well.
Teams do not want to be caught unprepared on the clock, so they put a lot of preparation into situational options so they are prepared for as many scenarios as possible. They want to have a good idea of what the teams drafting around them will do and who may move up or down around them as well.
Scouts, coaches and executives that have worked with other teams will share what they know about members of other front offices to try and deduce what the other teams plans are. It is a very elaborate poker game with 32 other players and the cards keep changing mid hand.
Scouting players isnt the only part of the draft that has an impact on the team. It is the plan to acquire the players you like and avoid getting caught in a situation where you miss out on a player or dont get appropriate value for your pick. Maximizing those chances takes a ton of preparation and skill, which is what helps separate a Bill Belichick and Ted Thompson from the rest of the pack. You can have a great scouting department but it doesnt do any good if you cant get the players they unearth. You can work the draft like a maestro, but if the players you maneuver to get arent any good it doesnt matter. This is just another example of why cohesion is so important in building a team because there are too many moving parts to keep switching them every couple of years.

Makers and takers
EDITOR: The takers/makers argument that is going on in our nation can be heard right here in Sonoma County with regard to county worker's pensions. Taxes do not pay 100 percent of a county worker's pension since 65 percent to 70 percent of a worker's retirement is funded by gains made from investments. Yet there are those who seem to think that they should have 100 percent control over how much a pension should be.
Following that line of logic, I guess that anyone who pays federal taxes should dictate to the oil companies how much they should pay their workers since they rake in millions in federal subsidies each year.
Maybe taxpayers should dictate corporate policy to Wal-Mart since its workers are paid so little that they have to rely on federal aid to get by. Since big business enjoys so many government handouts, I wonder who the real takers are?
Mall security
EDITOR: A few months ago, my shopping bags were stolen from me at the Santa Rosa Plaza. It was almost $200 worth of freshly purchased merchandise. I talked to the store manager where it was stolen and mall security, and I could not get a single person to take action or even care that it had happened.
I told them I knew the exact moment my bags were taken, perhaps there was video footage? They didn't care. Did they want to write a report, in case it happens again to someone else? Nope. I began to wonder what their purpose was, if not to protect commerce. Now I know. It's too harass peaceful protestors ("Mall says it regrets treatment of activists," Friday).

Coaching is much more effective when driving employee performance, especially inside sales and customer service personnel. Management is about telling people what to do; whereas, coaching is about asking and understanding why performance levels are the way they are. The opportunity is for managers to learn how to coach to help drive performance and the bottom line.
Here is a link to a free special presentation for your review as to the value of coaching. Its called "Why We Need To Coach".

Plastic trash is prompting an environmental group to petition the federal government to name the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands one of the most contaminated places in the country.
The Center for Biological Diversity is asking the Environmental Protection Agency to designate the islands and surrounding waters a Superfund site.
Currents continually carry plastic debris from around the Pacific Ocean to the string of largely unpopulated atolls.
Center attorney Emily Jeffers said Tuesday plastic bags, bottles and other "toxic litter" pollute the area. She says this trash is deadly to seals, birds and other marine life.
The EPA's Superfund program addresses abandoned hazardous waste sites. Most are former industrial sites.
The EPA says it has received the petition and is looking into it.

Curacao Travel Guide
Even though Curaçao is a popular stop on many Caribbean cruises, a lot of Americans have, in the past, tended not to visit Curaçao just on its own. But travel to Curaçao—the "C" of the ABC Dutch Caribbean islands that also include Aruba and Bonaire—is worth much more than a day in port. It has nearly 40 beaches, a quaint capital city and plenty of lovely, untamed landscape. The east side of Curaçao is the the most populated side of the island, where the capital city of Willemstad offers plenty of colonial architecture, shopping, museums and cafes. The less inhabited west side, meanwhile, is full of hills, secluded coves, and old fishing villages, and the south side of the island has some of the best diving in the world. Read on in this Curaçao travel guide to plan your trip:
Things Not to Miss in Curaçao
• Christoffel National Park
• Queen Emma Bridge, a floating pontoon bridge
• The Curaçao Seaquarium
• Kurá Hulanda Museum, the Curaçao Museum, and the Maritime Museum
• Jan Kok salt flats, dating back to 1650
When to Go to Curaçao
Curaçao is a warm, tropical destination any time of the year. Rainy season isn't as big a factor in Curacao as it is on some islands—and happily, Curaçao is located just outside the hurricane belt. The height of Curaçao travel season runs from mid-December to mid-April, when Europeans and North Americans come to escape cold winters. Christmas, New Year's, Presidents Day, and the spring break weeks of March also tend to be particularly busy for tourists. Locals and visitors alike love the parties of Carnival season, leading up to Mardi Gras. If you want fewer crowds and lower prices, go from mid-April through mid-December.

Forward-looking organizations like Lenovo, Corning, Innovex, Motorola are known for being leaders in adopting effective sales processes and technology. Many of these companies are now leveraging new processes and capabilities to empower their sales management teams and to get more out of their sales people through tracking key performance indicators and coaching. Even though you may be a small company in comparison, the key to improving sales in your organization is where you focus. The focus should be on your salespeople and their performance rather than the resulting numbers. One way to assist your salespeople is to identify key members of the sales team who have the greatest propensity for coaching and create a buddy system whereby your salespeople are supporting one another and encouraging each other to meet their goals.
In a recent study by the Sales Executive Council (SEC), companies were surveyed to determine the relative impact of effective coaching on A, B and C performers. The study clearly indicated coaching offers greater value when targeted specifically at the B players, or "core performers"—those who show ability but have unrealized potential. In fact, the study indicated that you can expect to see a 17% or greater improvement in productivity and revenue from your B and C players when consistently coached.
Do this simple exercise, regardless of the size of your company, and you will be able to determine where to focus your coaching efforts.

- How many reps came at least within 20% of their targets?
- What is your turnover percentage and how many reps are new?
If you are like most companies, you are likely to have 10-20% of your sales team that are in the "A" category and 10-20% that are new hires. The core 60% or so from this simple exercise is where your sales leaders need to focus their time and efforts and where you should be spending your money.
Focusing on this core makes sense from several perspectives:
- They are most coachable and your money invested will be well spent.
- They represent the largest fixed investment in your sales budget.
- Given the law of numbers, a simple 3-5% performance improvement in the core will yield a significant overall impact.
The practical goal is not so much to expect 100% "A" players, but minimize the under performers' impact on your business and coach this core team to better results.

U.S. Rep. John Boccieri, D-Alliance, said while President Obama's speech Wednesday night on health care was clear, it did not address his concerns on provisions in pending legislation requiring some small businesses to pay for health insurance benefits for employees.
U.S. Rep. John Boccieri, D-Alliance, praised President Barack Obama's speech on health care Wednesday night, calling him "clearly a good communicator," but saying, "I don't believe the president has shifted any of my opinions."
"I still have concerns about some of the ideas that'll be on the table. Concerns about how this will affect some of the small businesses in my district," he said. "The question is will the House create a bill that looks like what the president said tonight."
Boccieri said he has not yet decided if he would support the establishment of a public option, or a government-run health insurer to compete with private health insurance companies.
Speaking about tort reform, the federal lawmaker said, "I think (Obama) was clear that that was not a silver bullet. ... we have some of the most extraordinary caps on medical malpractice claims (in Ohio), yet prices of health insurance premiums and malpractice insurance premiums continue to rise."
The congressman said he liked the president's support for providing access to health insurance for everyone except illegal immigrants, prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, promoting the ability to carry coverage from job to job and reducing inefficiency.
"We should not allow bean counters or bureaucrats to dictate health insurance or the coverage you and I receive," Boccieri said. "I was happy that the president took a bold stance on dispelling those myths that have been circulating on the Internet and some of those cable shows."
But Boccieri said he wishes the president had focused more on disease prevention, and said, "I still have concerns about making small businesses pay a penalty because insurance companies won't pay for coverage."
"We all agree that the cost of doing nothing is unsustainable for our country," he said. "I hope the leadership of this House can come up with a plan I can support."
"The president's speech tonight reflects exactly the sort of move toward moderation I've been calling for – we should not undergo a 'radical fix' of our health care system, but we must build on what we have. As I've said before, we must make sure that any final bill protects rural health care in Ohio, our seniors, our businesses, and our working families. There is no question that we must address the enormous crisis that is dragging down our economy and hurting our families, but we must undertake this reform in a way that is responsible, sensible, and measured." U.S. Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover.
• • •
"Tonight, the president made a strong case for health insurance reform that ensures all Americans have access to affordable, secure health care coverage. ... For far too long, huge health insurance companies have been allowed to run roughshod over middle class families in Ohio and across the country. ... it's why I am committed to doing whatever I can to make sure Congress produces a strong health insurance reform bill – one that includes strict insurance regulation, tax credits for small businesses, and a robust public option – as soon as possible." U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Avon.
Page 2 of 2 - • • •
"I am concerned that the president is pushing for sweeping reform without closely studying all the consequences. To date, many of his ideas have lacked vital details and have left me with more questions than answers. ... I can assure you that I will not support a health care bill that does not protect all human life, from conception until natural death." U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Cleveland, in a written statement before Obama's speech.

JESSAMINE COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - A man accused of a brutal beating that later turned deadly now faces more serious charges.
During a hearing in Jessamine County Monday afternoon, charges against Curtis Flora were upgraded to murder. Police say on New Year's Eve, Flora hit James Wallace in the head during an argument.
"The deceased had made some comments to him, and kinda had been getting on his nerves. The deceased was heavily intoxicated, and they had been kinda arguing," explained Jessamine County Detective Sergeant John Bourne.
Detective Sergeant Bourne says Wallace and Flora spent several hours arguing together on New Year's Eve. They even went to a local gas station together.
"They're on videotape together for at least a couple hours."
The arguments escalated right as the two were driving down Vince Road.
"He had pulled over on the side of the road on Vince Road, and had gotten out of his vehicle. Walked around to the rear passenger side and opened the rear door, and grabbed a hold of him and began striking Mr. Wallace in the head."
Flora told WKYT in a taped jail house interview, he started punching Wallace because of a derogatory comment Wallace made against his son. Wallace passed away at UK Hospital on January 2. Curtis Flora will face a grand jury on a murder charge.

Glenn Greenwald, The Polemicist
Jonathan Chait has penned a must read of a column on Glenn Greenwald. Go read the whole thing. Here are a few passages that stuck out to me. (emphasis mine)
The debate over domestic surveillance is not a debate about what we think about Glenn Greenwald. But Greenwald is a fascinating character. His resemblance to Ralph Nader is not one that, so far as I can tell, anybody has thought to make. […]
For Greenwald, like Nader, the lawyer is the key protagonist in his political drama. Political victory is a series of successful lawsuits. He is wildly litigious:
In 1997, Achatz and Greenwald filed another lawsuit for broken elevators in their building. (They lived on the 32nd floor.) They later moved into another building in Midtown Manhattan, and countersued after being sued by that landlord for having a dog that weighed more than 35 pounds. They sued American Airlines and its parent company for not placing the right number of miles flown in their frequent-flier account.
Greenwald, like Nader, marries an indefatigable mastery of detail with fierce moralism. Every issue he examines has a good side and an evil side. Greenwald, speaking not long ago to the New York Times, said something revealing about his intellectual style:
"I approach my journalism as a litigator," he said. "People say things, you assume they are lying, and dig for documents to prove it." […]
That is the echo of Greenwald's suspicions of the Democratic agenda. President Obama scaled back some of the Bush administration's anti-terror policies — torture, warrantless wiretapping — but kept in place others. One could make the case that he did not change enough, but that is not a Greenwald sort of argument. He insists that Obama is worse than Bush. Obama's health-care reform was not just a step along the way to Greenwald's ideal, it was a monstrous sellout that probably did no good at all ("there is a reasonable debate to be had among reform advocates over whether this bill is a net benefit or a net harm.").
This way of looking at the world naturally places one in conflict with most liberals, who are willing to distinguish between gradations of success or failure. Nader and Greenwald believe their analysis not only completely correct, but so obviously correct that the only motivation one could have to disagree is corruption. Good-faith disagreement, or even rank stupidity, is not possible around Greenwald. His liberal critics are lackeys and partisan shills. He may be willing to concede ideological disagreement with self-identified conservatives, but a liberal who disagrees can only be a kept man.
A Perfect Example Of Why Congress Has A 10% Approval Rating!
The immigration reform process going on in Washington presents us with a perfect example of why congress is the biggest joke in the country. From Steve Benen at Maddowblog. (emphasis mine)
Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) told Dave Weigel yesterday one of the main reasons and he and his House Republican colleagues will not support comprehensive immigration reform.
"If you're the White House right now," he theorized, "and you have a signature law — that is, Obamacare — that is completely a legacy issue for the president, and it's looking like implementation is going to be a disaster, and if you're on your heels in terms of these scandals, and you're flummoxed by the NSA, there's one issue out there that's good for the White House. That's immigration. The question is: How much energy does the White House actually put into getting the legislation, or do they want to keep the issue for 2014?"
I hear this quite a bit from the right. Democrats say they want to pass reform legislation, the argument goes, but it's a sham. What those rascally Democrats really want, conservatives argue, is for immigration reform to fail so Democrats can use the issue against the GOP in the 2014 midterms and beyond.
And every time I hear this, I'm convinced our public discourse has slipped a little deeper into madness.
Look, this isn't complicated: Democrats want to pass immigration reform. President Obama wants to pass immigration reform. When the reform bill reached the Senate floor yesterday, it received 100% support from Democratic senators, and support is expected to be at a similar level among House Dems. If the party were engaged in some elaborate ruse, they've apparently managed to fool everyone, including themselves.
In fact, I'd love to hear Roskam and others who share his ideology explain the electoral rationale behind their strategy. He seems to be arguing, "Democrats want immigration reform to fail so they can use it against us, therefore, we should make sure reform fails so that they can use it against us. That'll show 'em!"
I think there is also something missing from the above snippet, the fact that Republicans never want to give President Obama a win. They see any legislation that gets passed as a win for the president. Maybe they aren't aware that he has already been reelected and "giving him a win" isn't going to help him electorally. It might help his legacy, but is trashing President Obama's legacy worth more to them than representing their constituents? It could be the reason why they are less popular than child molesters.

Schwartz presses rivals on ACA
Rep. Allyson Schwartz convened a conference call Wednesday, amplifying the message of a new commercial that touts her role in the passage of the Affordable Care Act , while questioning the depth of commitment to the law among her Democratic rivals.
The Schwartz commercial points to her role, as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, in pushing for the enactment of the landmark health care law. It also faults Gov. Corbett for failing to embrace the Medicaid expansion that is part of the law. The Corbett administration is negotiating with the federal government with the aim of gaining the new Medicaid dollars, but using them for a premium support program that would allow recipients to purchase insurance privately.
In her conversation with reporters yesterday, Schwartz questioned the positions of her three rivals, suggesting that they had not been sufficiently outspoken in favor of the law. In particular, she suggested that York County businessman Tom Wolf had displayed "a little vagueness'' in discussing the measure.
At a brief news conference in Pittsburgh the previous day, however, Mr. Wolf reiterated his support for the law and said he would do "anything in my power,'' to promote full implementation.
"There's not a dime's worth of difference between Rob McCord and Allyson Schwartz on the Affordable Care Act. If voters are looking for a real difference between the candidates, they should look at their drillers' tax proposals,'' said Mark Nevins, a spokesman for the state treasurer's campaign. He referred to the fact that Schwartz has called for a 5 percent extraction tax on natural gas while Mr. McCord has proposed a 10 percent levy.
Mike Mikus, Katie McGinty's campaign manager, said she, too had said repeatedly that she was fully committed to the law. Mikus said that it was Schwartz who had suggested changes in the law, including a repeal of its tax on medical devices. He also cited criticisms Schwartz has voiced on its creation of an Independent Payment Advisory Board, a panel charged with containing the costs of Medicare.
"Katie McGinty has always been a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act, including the establishment of a Pennsylvania health care exchange,''' Mikuss said. "She has repeatedly criticized Governor Corbett for his failure to expand Medicaid. Congresswoman Schwartz's statement is mind boggling since Congresswoman Schwartz is the only Democratic gubernatorial candidate who has supported legislation that would weaken the Affordable Care Act while also endangering Medicare."
Schwartz acknowledged in her call that she had taken issue with some details of the law but emphasized her support for its overall provisions and reminded reporters that no one else in the race had been involved in the legislative process that produced it.

So what was the point of Obama's Jerusalem speech encouraging young Israelis to make peace, a speech the media drooled over?

Soldier's Lotter. The following is a letter to his parents from Private H. P. Dusting, of Portland, who left with the 21st battalion, A.1.F. :- Cairo, 23rd July, 1915. Dear Mum and Dad,-Just a few lines to say I arrived all right, and amn now in camp at Cairo. I trust all are well at home. We bhad a splendid trip o\ er, the sea being smooth nearly all the way, but we were somewhat disappoin ed when we found that our destination was Egypt, as we fully expected that we would be taken on to England. However, such are the fortunes of war, I suppose. We called in at Colombo and Port Said, and I sent you a letter from the former place, which no doubt you received. At Port Said also we had a bit of fun with the blacks when they came aboard selling oranges, bnaanas, cocoanuts and figs, and you may bet they did a roaring trade, The sight going; up the canal was all right, and many large steamers were passing up and down, but it is so narrow that one boat has to haul in close to the sides to allow the other to pass, Crowds of British and Indian troops were stationed along the banks guarding the Canal, and we received a great wel come from them. It was here Some months before where the Australians had their first brush !with the 'l'urks. I often see Harry Lear, from Portland. lie is ser. geant of the bootmakers, and has a good job. It is very amusing when dealing with the negroes at Cairo. We have picked up a bit of their lingo, but mostly have to make signs to them when we want .any thing done, They are very crafty gentle men, I can assure you. We get paid in their money, as ours is not much good here. Things are not too bad with us so far, but I expect they will be a bit more lively when we reach the Dardanelles, and I don't think we will have long to wait according to all accounts. Last Sunday we visited the Pyramids, which are about 10 !miles from here. They are wonderful.

Security improvements made to 19th JDC evidence room
Related Story
BATON ROUGE- Security changes have been made to the evidence room of the 19th Judicial District Courthouse, after 48 pounds of cocaine went missing.
Two courthouse employees, William Colvin and Debra Bell, were arrested. Investigators said they stole the cocaine and distributed it on the streets of Baton Rouge, recruiting three others to help in the process.
"The security of the evidence room has been changed," District Attorney Hillar Moore said. "We now have all the evidence there on hold. Two separate key systems now. There's video tape on the evidence room, and we've changed two separate locks in two offices."
The security breach came to light after a receiving a tip.
"We had received information that some kilos of cocaine were missing from an evidence room," Moore said. "With that information, and not sure what evidence room we were talking about, information continued to develop."
Authorities said they believe the people involved were selling the cocaine for half the street value.
"Drug dealers have a network of confederates they use to operate," Baton Rouge Police Chief Dewayne White said. "To say if it's in the state or the city, no one knows."
William Colvin is the son of State District Judge Kay Bates. She had no comment when a phone call was made to her office.
Authorities say more arrests could come.

The SRAM X9 Type 2 adds the Roller Bearing Clutch to a normal X.9 derailleur to deliver maximum drivetrain stability, even through rough terrain. This clutch eliminates bounce and chain slap without sacrificing precision. Clutch is self-lubricating, maintenance free, uses needle bearings, and comes factory calibrated from SRAM.
Buying a rear new derailleur? Need shifters? We have those! Take a look at our selection of shifters here.
This is a nice copy of Shimano's "Plus" system. They still haven't worked out the Shadow part, though. And Sram's already heavy-handed 1:1 shift ratio now feels even harder at the shifter.
Great upgrade for the price. Broke my week x7 that came on my bike after only riding it a few months. Replaced it with this a little over a year ago and no problems.
My bike came with a Shimano XT shadow rear deraillieur on it. Although there really wasn't any shifting problems it was difficult to push the shifter and I found that when the clutch was engaged it was very very difficult to push my trigger shifter. I switched it out for this one and the shifting was much easier on my thumb. i REALLY like this product. I have it on all 3 of my bikes!
I set up my bike 1x10 with 11-40 cassette conversion, and I have to say that Sram X9 medium cage works really well with it. It has fast and smooth shifting action. Look very good and the price is very acceptable.
I set up my new 29er hardtail as a 1x10 with an X9 short-cage derailleur, 11-36 cassette, and a 28 tooth Bling Ring. The drivetrain is super quiet. I have an older bike with a X0 9-speed drivetrain and it makes a lot more noise. It makes my new 10-speed bike feel really solid and the quiet drivetrain adds a real quality feeling to my new bike.
I bought this to replace...the exact same part on my 2013 Giant Trance X 29er. Well at least i thought it was the same part. Giant had put the long cage version on their bike, and i had assumed it was the medium. The Med. cage has made a huge difference, snappier shifts and quiet. Don't understand why the bike came with the long to begin with, but the rule of 2 rings = Med Cage holds true for a reason. Looking forward to wearing this one out this summer.
Ive used XT, X7, X9, and other lower level derailleurs before, but this one takes the cake. Zero chain slap, not one dropped chain in very rocky and rooty conditions. Held up perfectly when I dropped off a log and landed dead on to the cage. The cable routing is a plus, no giant loop at the tail of the bike.
Purchased to replace an x7 10 speed for a Norco Revolver 29er thanks to a sale. Shifts faster and more consistently under load, if you ride trails or rough terrain definitely lean towards a Type 2 dérailleur over a standard the higher price is worth it. It is far less prone to chain slap and feels like it picks up the tension after a shift faster, the cage lock is a godsend for removing the rear wheel. Compared to my 9 speed X9 from a few years ago they've made a significant improvement by adding the clutch. My only complaint is that the Type 2 Dérailleurs are 10 speed only.
What a major difference this type 2 derailleur makes over older designs that don't have the clutch feature to maintain chain tension during all conditions. This derailleur eliminated chain slap on my frame, miss shifts & issues with chain dropping off he Chain Ring. Shifts are smooth & quick. The cable routing minimizes shift cable binding seen on other other designed derailleurs.
Bought this to replace a X-7 that was damage when I sucked a chain. Definitely an upgrade from the X-7. Cage lock to lock in full extension makes tire removal and chain work a lot easier.
I bought the X9 when I decided to go from a 2x10 X7 drivetrain to a 1x10 because this has the clutch in it. I couldn't be happier with my decision!!! I'm running the X9 type 2 with a RaceFace 32T narrow/wide. I put my bike back together Thursday 4/24/14 after I purchased a bunch of new parts, I had an endurance race on Saturday 4/26/14 and I am so impressed how flawlessly this deraillleur performed! I did not miss one shift, I never dropped a chain, and to be honest my bike far out performed me!!! Do not hesitate to buy this derailleur, especially if you are thinking about running a 1x10 drivetrain with no chain guide! Also the little lock out is an awesome feature, makes taking off and putting on your back wheel so much easier.
This unit provides quiet trouble free long term shifting. The clutch eliminates chain noise and slap. It's so good I put the same on my Cyclocross bike.
I picked this up because I was converting my FS 29er to 1x10, and wanted a clutched rear derailleur to help my new wide/narrow ring keep the chain where it was supposed to be. This was an upgrade from and X.7 that I never had trouble with, but the first thing I noticed was how smooth (nearly unnoticeable) shifts were with this thing installed. The second thing I noticed when attacking a rooty section of a local trail, was that I couldn't hear my chain slapping around anymore. Lastly, it's well worth pointing out that I haven't dropped a chain with this in place, even riding trails as notoriously rocky as Reddish Knob.
I had great hopes for this derailleur but it broke on the very first ride. The piece the derailleur cage mounts to is plastic and it cracked. No broken chain or foreign object, it just jammed up and broke My previous derailleur was a Shimano XTR that lasted for 13 years in the exact same riding conditions and severe countless broken derailleur hangers. That derailleur is still in better condition than my new X9 I would not recommend this derailleur or any SRAM drivetrain components to anyone unless they have the money to replace components every ride.
Have had this derailleur on my bike for about 2 months and have not yet dropped a chain on rough terrain shifts smooth and fast.
it's not top of the line but it performs like it. Quick, quiet and accurate along with a build quality that is top notch, this is a great derailleur!
Got this for my 1x10 build and I love having a clutched derailleur! I never have chain slap and it makes riding single track so much more enjoyable. Its not worth buying XO because all you're doing is shaving a few grams for double the price and all it takes is one rough encounter with mother nature to foul up your derailleur forcing you to replace it. I do however run an XO shifter pod, and I always get sharp responsive shifting from the setup.
Hey everyone, I don't review very many products because they often don't warrant it, but this is one component upgrade that has made a significant difference in my performance. Besides losing that every annoying chain slap, being able to focus on the trail ahead, and enjoy the rustle of the leaves as I rush over them; this products shifts superbly. I have it couple with the X9 shifter and have not had any problems even after numerous wipeouts. Of course I have to make the occasional barrel adjustment due to cable stretch, but that is it. Rest assured that you will not be disappointed with this shifter. Happy trails
Smooth shifting and reduces chain slap, which is very important with a carbon frame.
This derailleur works great! Shifts smooth and reduced chain slap to almost none. An affordable way to go with a 1X10 setup. XO technology with out the associated cost. I highly recommend it.
This derailleur is great bang for buck. The clutch eliminates chain slap and keeps the entire drivetrain quiet. An X0 doesn't have much different than the X9 besides a few less grams and a carbon cage. Get the X9-Type2 and never look back.

A federal appeals court said Friday that President Obama over-stepped his authority with a series of recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
The case may wind up in the Supreme Court, and determine how far the president can go in appointing people whose nominations would be filibustered in the Senate.
The result could affect the standing of other Obama appointees, such as the head of the president's new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Richard Cordray.
In legal briefs, Obama said his recess appointments were legal because the Senate was on vacation at time.
But Republican senators who joined in a lawsuit said the chamber stayed in a "pro forma" legal session during the time in question, denying Obama the right to make recess appointments -- and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit agreed with them.

On the second weekend of the Wisconsin bow hunt I used my new Mathews Mathews LXthat I had purchased in June to arrow the first deer I saw of the young season. He was an overweight brute that had 9 points with a 17" inside spread and he had a dressed weight of 230 pounds. No doubt he was adding to his girth, preparing for the up coming rut. First deer I saw, my first trophy deer taken with my first Mathews. Awesome!!!

This cake is AMAZING!! It took quite a bit of effort but is definately worth it. I didn't bother with the candied carrots and made about 2/3 worth of the icing which I just spread on the top.
Cut down on the oil and cooking time and bake for a MUCH shorter time! I think it's usually ready in about 45 mins!!! I also add a splash of lemon juice in the icing! Delicious! All time favourite! I also add diced walnuts on-top of the icing instead of the candied carrot. Definetly a favourite of my friends and family!
This is a great cake and always a favourite every time I make it. Terrific as cupcakes as well and don't have to cook for as long.
Each time I make these I always get the comment 'where did you buy it?". This is a deliciously, rick, moist carrot cake. Note though, I do add a couple of additional ingredients - 100 grams walnuts, 100 grams sultanas, 1 small tin dole crushed pineapples.
Delicious! Made the full mixture as cupcakes - it made 29. Also made the full quantity of icing - more than enough to cover 29 cupcakes, with some left to pile on top for anyone who really loves cream cheese frosting! Will definitely be making this one again.
Loved this cake, was the first ever carrot cake I made and turned out a treat, everybody loved it, will be making this again :)
Agree with previous comments: tastes just like a cafe cake. Better! I am no baker, but this recipe is fool proof and delicious. It takes a while - it's several kilos worth of cake so the cooking takes an age and the cooling even longer - but it's not difficult to do in the slightest. I would say, check how well it's cooked after an hour and twenty/and hour and a half or so. An hour and a half is all it needs in my oven and it would be a shame to let it go too long and not end up with the moist delicacy that it can be. Have baked this twice for 'bring a plate' type events, it doesn't last! :)
My first attempt at baking a cake in many years & thankfully successful. As others have mentioned - this cake is huge!!!!! I didn't have a 25cm cake tin but a deep 23cm cake tin worked fine. Turned down the temp for the last 30 minutes. A real hit - absolutely delicious.
This cake was awesome! Made this as a last minute birthday cake, and as the batch was so big had exactly enough for an 8" round cake and 12 cupcakes to take to work the next day. Cupcakes cooked in 30mins and cake in just over an hour an a half. Didn't have sour cream handy so used the same quantity of buttermilk....no problems. Add 100g as sultanas as well and increased quantity of walnuts to 160g. Was devoured by hubby and workmates the next day. Would definitely make again.
This cake is huge and just screams CELEBRATION!! Bear in mind others' suggestions regarding using low-fat ingredients like cream cheese and sour cream. They just don't work as well. I made the cake and sliced it and went to ice it and the low-fat cream cheese was a flop.
It was a hit the first time around. Absolutely scrumptious, it is one of the best carrot cakes I've ever tasted and same was said by others. Easy to make, give it a go, moist and full of flavour, exactly how a carrot cake should taste. It is a big cake, great for family/friends get together, keeps really well. Note if using low fat substitutes it can turn out to be bit watery, adjust accordingly. Next time I intend to half the mixture in a smaller tin, I have to wait and see if it tastes just as good then! Thank you for the recipe.
I really enjoyed making this cake for my husbands birthday party. Used lots of bowls, food processor and saucepan but made the cake a week in advance and then cut in half and froze. Defrosted day before the party and iced and decorated with the candied carrot strips and I also made toffee shards instead of the carrot to make it a bit more fancy. Cake was super moist and very delicious. I followed some other reviewers suggestions and used macadamia oil and macadamia nuts and was just lovely. It needed every minute of the two hour cooking time in my oven. Give it a go, it's worth the effort.
Very time consuming but by far the most in-demand cake i have ever made! People constantly ask me to bake this. It's a MAMMOTH cake. I warn you! 2 hours in the oven alone....! Take care in cutting the cake in two - make sure it is completely cooled down before adding icing (basics, i know). Have fun making the tiny carrots on top. They are a big hit!
Beautiful cake! Could do with more walnuts and the icing was a bit runny, but it worked and everybody thought the cake was bought from a shop!
the batch was huge so i made some cupcakes as well. it came out a little bit dry, it was a nice recipe although i've had a lot better.
Delicious recipe! Everyone I've made this for loves it. The last time I made it I didn't have much time so I put it in muffin tins which reduced the cooking time to about 20 mins. Then I just put a big dollop of the icing on top and they looked great. Yum!
Easy cake! Halved the ingredients and didn't have any sour cream so used low fat natural yogurt turned out fluffy and moist as!
Absolutely Fantastic. Definitely too much frosting. Will be adding to my tried and tested family recipe book.
My all time fav cake. I use this recipe all the time and it sure is a winner. I call it my "cafe cake". Does make a big cake and I always half the icing. But it is devine.
This is one of the best carrot cakes ever! I have also halved the mixture and made muffins (12) & have had soooo many comments. I quartered the icing mixture as dont need as much for the muffins. They are delicious!
Beautiful moist cake ! Family loved it. Made half the recipe (cooking time 40-45mins) - put cream cheese frosting on top and sides instead. Used crushed walnuts instead of candied carrot to make it easier. Yum !!
100% awesome easy to make & extremely delicouce you have to make it it's wonderful.
WOW!!! My whole family love this recipe! I halved it and the cake was still a decent size. I substituted raw macadamias for walnuts, and natural yoghurt for sour cream and the result was outstanding. Also, I cut back on the sugar for both the cake and the frosting - you really don't need it :)
I LOVED this and for the cream cheese I have my own caramel variation. 250g philly cream cheese, 1 cup icing sugar and 2 Tbsp golden syrup. Raving reviews from the taste testers :D
So delicious and easy to make! I'm not a great cook so was so happy when it turned out so nice. Added only half the amount of sugar in the frosting and was really nice. Will def make it again!
Made this for my daughter's 5th birthday, she asked for carrot cake. I made two 20 cm cakes, as suggested by others, but no nuts (allergies!) and a cup of sultanas. I cooked it the night before, hoping it would not dry out over night, and iced it the next morning. It was a grand looking cake and stayed moist and tasty. I've never seen so many adults eat the cake and most of the kids ate it as well. Very pleased with it, would probably halve it and make muffins for every day ease.
Delicious cake and so easy to make which is great. I do use less sugar in the frosting though.
Easy to make - although with such large quantities of ingredients, a little time consuming. made it into cupcakes - 25 minutes in the oven and I only used 250g of cream cheese and 1/2 cup icing sugar, with a bit of lemon. That made just enough icing for all 28 cupcakes. Very yummy :)
I love this recipe! I make it as muffins as opposed to a cake and shorten the baking time and they turn out perfect every-time. I also add a little bit of ginger and extra walnuts, and I don't use the full amount of icing sugar for the cream cheese icing. I have taken these to work a number of times and they have been a hit, my husband also loves them! They are soft, light and very flavoursome muffins.
Simply the best carrot cake ever - my sister in law says the best cake she has ever eaten. I'm not much of a baker so that says it all about the recipe. I was surprised how high the cake rose - glad I used a deep pan. The frosting is to die for, but the recipe makes a lot of it.
Taking others advice that this was a big cake, I made the mix into cupcakes. This way I made 24 cupcakes which I will freeze and add to the kids lunchbox. Using all organic ingredients I swapped the caster sugar for raw sugar, changed the sour cream to soy yoghurt and added some orange juice and rind and some cardamom. They have turned out moist, light and fluffy, this is a great recipe. They are even perfect on their own without the icing so no sticky fingers at school or messy lunchboxes.
It was a big cake but I was prepared for that thanks to the other users suggestions. I used 25cm Square cake tin lined high, then cut it in half once it had cooled down. It took a bit longer to cook than the recipe. I used macadamia nuts in the cake and halved the sugar in the topping. It was delicious and it got lots of compliments. Will definately make it again.
this is the best carrot cake. I sell it in my snack bar and it is a hit with the workers.
My oven cooks really fast, so I cooked it on 150 for 45 mins and it was done. Its a huge cake, but it lasts really well in the fridge so theres plenty of time to eat! Great mix, and I will be making this again.
Judging by everyone elses' review i decieded to also half the recipe. I have not iced it yet, but it doesnt have a very strong carrot flavour which other carrot cakes have, maybe it was just my carrots! I will make this one again but add more carrot!
This cake is totally massive - if you plan on making the whole recipe definitely use a 26cm tin - and it will rise right to the top. It only just fit under my cake stand. The cream cheese icing had too much sugar in it - developed a hard crust, rather than that creamy-cheesyness I love in cream cheese icing.
very moist and easy to make for afternoon tea. My children love carrots and what a treat for them..will be making this once again
This recipe is really easy! The cake turned out really moist and soft - delicious! Won't hesitate to make it again. Added 1 cup sultanas and only used 1 cup white sugar, still tasted great. Baked for 1 hour only even though I baked it in a single 25cm springform tin. For the frosting, I only used 375g light cream cheese and reduced the icing sugar to 1 cup. Added a bit of lemon juice too for some added flavour. The result was fantastic. 3/4 cake gone in a day.
Just like a few other comments mention - this is a HUGE cake! I didn't expect it to be so big.. but doesn't matter.. there is plenty to go round for days - it's delicious!! I will try adding sultanas next time and some lemon rind in the icing.. reckon that will just make it divine :)
LOVED this cake. Im underf 16, & I accomplished this dish beautifully. I added sultana's & granulated nuts instead of the walnuts & added lemon rind to the icing tasted delicious.
this recipe does make for one big cake!! but worth it as its so delicious and moist! Did not bother with the candied carrot decoration but followed the recipe otherwise!! Icing really makes it!! Made this cake a few times now and can't rave enough!!
great cake. very yummy! i added some sultanas to it which worked really nicely :)
This cake is FANTASTIC. So yummy and moist I could eat it all day. The quantities make a huge cake ..I even had left over mix for some muffins! Next time I might half it.
really yummy my friends and family ate it all! Having the cream cheese frosting in the centre as well as the top was good as you got the goodess of it in every bite
I did the same as someone else said, made two 20cm cakes, reduced the baking time to about 50 minutes and left them individual rather than doing the layers. I also halved the amounts for the cream cheese frosting and found that it was plenty to frost both individual cakes. But, aside from that, this cake is soooo tasty! My husband took some to work and it didn't last long and my mother in law took some to a get together and was told this cake was better than her carrot cake (my mum in law is an awesome baker) ! Now everyone wants the recipe! I would definately recommend this cake!
The most yummest cake i have ever eaten. It made heaps but i left it in one pan for a very large cake... simply superb!!!!! am making it again for sure!!! the icing was really good :)
this is the most fantastic carrot cake i ahve ever tasted. my friends beg me to make it. it is normally too much for just a few people to eat. but it is too nice to only make a half serving.
this created a lot of mixture, i had to use to two 20cm pan, which then created to individual cakes. Overall a yummy cake!!
Absolutely yummy! I took the advice of others and didn't use as much icing sugar in the frosting - perhaps about 250grams and that was heaps! I also cooked mine in a large bundt cake pan as it makes a LOT of cake mix for a single layer cake - perfect for two though! Easy to make... great cooking smell (kids couldn't wait to taste it!) and an easy way to sneak extra veg into the kids!! One of the best Carrot Cakes I've ever tasted/made!
very popular cake for big gathering only used 300 gm icing sugar in frosting and added lime rind and juice. Took 3 hours to cook. also made as muffins
Oh my goodness, what a delicious cake! This was my first attempt at making a carrot cake and it turned out a dream. I took the advice of the others and didn't put so much icing sugar in the frosting. I think I used about 350-400g and that was perfect.... and I have a VERY sweet tooth. Also, I don't own a 25cm pan so I used my 20cm pan and lined it high around the sides with baking paper so that it was able to rise nicely right out of the pan, and that was very successful. I'm off to have another slice!!
Was really tasty but had so much mixture left over and icing too so next time I would only use half the ingredients but very yummy!
I actually made these as cupcake to reduce the cooking time (and much easier to share around the office). They were delicious, very moist and the icing is to die for!
Very nice carrot cake, but I made a couple of changes: 1. Halved the recipe (and it still almost overflowed over a 20cm round cake tin). 2. Used olive oil instead of vegetable oil (worked well, no olive-y taste and much healthier). 3. Added lemon rind and juice to icing. 4. Didn't do the candied carrot thing. Will definitely be making this cake again.
This cake is so easy! I used a 12 cup muffin pan and got 28 from one batch. For the frosting I whipped the cream cheese and then just added icing sugar a little at a time until I thought it was sweet enough.
This was great, made it for my dad's birthday and everyone loved it. As recommended by other people, I reduced the amount of sugar in the icing and didn't like the sound of the candied carrots so left them out. Instead, just sprinkled with cinnamon and everyone enjoyed it.
great for freezing and taking for lunch
absolutely brilliant!! i made this twice in ONE week for family and friends!
This recipe is simply sensational and was a huge hit with all my guests. For the icing sugar in the frosting I only used 200grams not 500grams...
This cake was delicious. Makes a huge cake, could feed 15-20 people. Icing was very sweet next time will put less icing sugar.
Very easy to make. Very moist. Freezes well. Just delicious
This was so easy and tasted delicious, it was very moist and the best carrot cake that I have made.Yummy!!!
This cake turned out so well and so big. You really do get two decent sized cakes out of this one! We didn't do a double decker we had them seperate very easy and very very good. Definately make again.
the best tasting carrot cake! i put less icing sugar in the cream cheese icing,turned out great!
Didn't realise how big it would be! But delicious none the less!

- Question: Whenever I make carrot cake, I follow the instructions step by step without altering them, however the end result is a horridly bitter cake with this very weird after taste to it. I have tried several things to resolve it but nothing has helped can anyone explain why this happens and what I can do to resolve this problem?

- Preheat the oven to 160C/gas 3/fan 140C and grease a 850ml/1½ pint shallow baking dish with a little butter. Cut the panettone into wedges, leaving the crusts on. Butter the slices lightly with the rest of the butter. Cut the slices in half and arrange them in the dish, buttered side up.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, vanilla extract and sugar and pour evenly over the panettone.
- Put the dish in a roasting tin and pour hot water around it to a depth of about 2.5cm/1in. Bake for 35 minutes until the pudding is just set - it should be yellow inside and nicely browned on top. Dust with icing sugar and serve with spoonfuls of whipped cream.

Comments, questions and tips
The 1st time I cooked this recipe I stayed with the ingredients detailed above and it was delicious.
Subsequent attempts I have added a few additions.
Firstly I soaked for a minimum of 24 hours currants and raisins in amaretto..
When ready to assemble I sprinkled flaked almonds and some of the drained, amaretto currants/raisins on the buttered base of the dish.
Then placed the buttered panettone on top and sprinkled with the remainder of the currants/raisins.
Bake as normal and then 10 minutes before the end sprinkle with more flaked almonds - FANTASTIC.
Unfortunately you will never have any leftovers as everyone comes back for 2nd's & 3rd's.
Made this for pudding this evening and it was out of this world. I used brioche instead of panettone, and I soaked some jumbo raisins and chopped dried dates in amaretto for a few hours before adding them to the pudding. It needed about 10 mins longer in the oven than stated, but was well worth the wait. Highly recommended.
Yum yum!! Made it in the new year from left over Xmas panettone for a sunday dinner and then had enough left for pud on Monday night too! I used a light double cream alternative rather than full on double but more of it than milk and it turned out lush. Not too sweet which was nice, as when you came across a piece of dried fruit you got a burst of sweetness. Will be making again at Easter with more left over panettone!

November 28, 2015
Plans for a new College Station city cemetery moved forward at a Thursday night city council meeting.
The cemetery will include a section called the Aggie Field of Honor.
The council approved the purchase of 0.948 acres of land for the cemetery which will be located off of 2818 and University Drive.
The city will pay the owners of the land, Samuel Sharp and John Clark, $45,000.
Planners hope to have design and construction done for phase one of the cemetery by April 2008.
Plots in the Aggie Field of Honor section could cost around $950 more than a regular plot. The cemetery committee also told the council that they would like to add a Texas A&M University representative to the committee.
The council also appointed 25 people to serve on the city's comprehensive plan advisory committee. The committee will have 19 voting members and 6 alternates. It's made up of residents from each section of town, students, and a council member. The group will work with city staff and the council to develop the city's comprehensive plan and long term goals.

In the koan, the monastic is asking, when "the universe is totally destroyed… is this one destroyed or not?" Dasui says, "It is destroyed." How is that? The body, the personality, the skandas are gone. All things pass away. But how can something be destroyed if it has never come into being and can never die? What is Dasui saying? How is he helping this student? What truth is he revealing?
The pointer says, "When fish swim through, the water is muddied; when birds fly by, feathers drop down." With every movement there's a trace, with every question, there's a trail. Of what? There's a trail of the person, of her belief, of her desires, of what she's seeking, of what she's avoiding. When the student asks the question, that's the fish swimming through and the water getting muddied. So the teacher is not just responding to the question, but to the question behind the question, of which the student may be unaware.
In the pointer, Dasui is described: "He clearly discriminates host and guest, he penetratingly distinguishes initiate and outsider, just like a bright mirror in its stand, like a bright pearl in the palm of the hand." For hundreds of years in the Zen tradition, the image of the bright mirror has been used to point to the mind that doesn't add anything, isn't cluttered, but is naturally pure and clear. It's the mind that naturally reflects everything that comes in front of it—without adding anything, without taking anything away. It sees things just as they are. When what appears in front of the mirror is cleverness or concealment or fear, the mirror's reflection is muddy. As we leave traces of our self-clinging, "feathers drop down."
Dasui responds in accord with the need. What is the need? What is the monastic really asking? The koan reveals that. Dasui says, "It is destroyed." In the full story, the monastic refuses to accept Dasui's answer. He leaves Dasui and goes to another master, Touzi, a contemporary, but from a different lineage. The monastic recounts the conversation he had with Dasui. Touzi turns around to the altar, lights incense, bows to the Buddha and says, "The ancient Buddha of the west river has appeared," referring to Dasui. Then he turns to the monastic and says, "You should go back there as fast as you can and atone for your mistake." That's all he says. The monastic hurriedly returns to Dasui, but Dasui has already passed away. Too late! He returns to see Touzi, but Touzi's too has died. Another opportunity lost!
So what is this monastic searching for? When Dasui said, "It is destroyed" and the monastic cannot accept the answer, what is he holding on to? Again in the Pranja Paramita Sutra, Shariputra talks about the realization of emptiness—the truth of things. The teaching of emptiness is that ultimately nothing is fixed, nothing can be grasped, nothing can be possessed. "You can't take it with you" is true, but it means right now you can't take it with you. And Shariputra says, "If when this is pointed out to a student of the way, to a bodhisattva, if his or her heart does not become cowed, does not despair or become despondent, if he or she doesn't turn away or become dejected, doesn't tremble, if he or she is not frightened or terrified, then this person, this student of the way, should be given instruction. It is precisely this that should be recognized as the wisdom of the Buddha."
When we encounter the truth, if we don't despair and become despondent, if we don't become frightened, turn around and run away, then it may be that we're ready for instruction. The Buddha talked about this as fearlessness. If we're not ready to face the truth, then when we get a sense of it, it frightens us. Even being ready, we may be frightened. To not turn away is a very important part of Buddhist practice. Initially, we may not reflect on the profound nature of these teachings. We may simply think, "Non-attachment, that sounds good. Enlightenment—that sounds really good! I'd like some of that. Count me in." But we may not really be considering the implications of what it means to face the truth. We can all have an idea of meeting reality, but what is the actual experience of facing oneself?

Professor Bernstein Comments on Earlobe Evidence in a Criminal Trial
Professor David Bernstein recently commented on the use of earlobe evidence in a criminal trial involving a Philadelphia man charged with robbing a local bank.
Judge Grants Earlobes Their Day in Court, Wednesday, Philadelphia Inquirer, January 11, 2006. By John Shiffman.
—Fingerprints, blood, fibers and DNA have set the falsely accused free. But earlobes? Comparing body parts in criminal cases, particularly earlobes, is an old science. It's the technology — better surveillance video and computer enhancements — that's relatively new, experts said. But George Mason University law professor David Bernstein said the court wrongly admitted highly dubious testimony. "It strikes me that if there is real difference in the earlobes, the jury should be able to see it on their own," Bernstein said.
