It's cold outside! South Florida has not been immune to this long winter. Today in Jupiter, the weather is predicted to be in the 40's with low's in the 30's; the perfect day to brew up some ginger tea.
If you have never had ginger tea, you are missing out on a treat. Ginger tea is made by boiling peeled and sliced pieces of fresh ginger "root" found at your local grocery store. I say ginger "root" because ginger root is not a root at all. The "root" is actually the plant's rhizome, or underground stem.
To brew ginger tea, we typically use about a one to two inch piece of the ginger's rhizome per 20 ounces of water. Bring to a boil, add honey, and you have a delicious drink. For additional flavor, you can add freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice.
Ginger tea is very soothing. It can have a slight zing to a potent punch depending how much ginger you use. The honey make's it sweet and spicy at the same time.
Ginger tea is said to have several medicinal benefits, including:
- cold prevention
- digestive aid
- increases circulation
- decreases inflammation
Ginger is on the FDA's "generally recognized as safe" list. However, it does interact with some medications and may not be safe for people suffering from gall stones or gastric ulcers. Speak with your doctor prior to consuming.
While we can't confirm any of the medicinal claims, we find ginger tea to be a soothing relaxant. A cup prior to bed is the perfect way to unwind from a stressful day.

Libertarian Lamentations: Libertarians Fear That Political Opportunists Will Use Public Concern about Terrorism to Usher in Big Government, Threaten Civil Liberties and Close Borders to Immigration. (Nation: State Power)
Rust, Michael, Insight on the News
Much has changed since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, including the way many Americans look at their government. And that is causing concern. "Historically, war has always led to an expansion of government," Ted Galen Carpenter, vice president for foreign policy at the Cato Institute, Washington's leading libertarian think tank, tells Insight. "I'd be mighty surprised if this didn't happen now as well."
That's fine with those who seldom have anything but praise for big government. Al Hunt, a liberal who is a Wall Street Journal columnist, wrote Sept. 27 that there seemed to be a "moratorium on government-bashing." This followed Hunt's praise for the bravery of police, fire and rescue personnel -- all of whom, he noted, are public employees.
For another segment of political Americana, this is ominous news. Libertarians, who decry government authority over citizens, fear a wave of concern about national security will encourage big government, threaten civil liberties and reduce self-reliance.
In a column written shortly after the attacks, Carpenter warned that proponents of state power will use public concern about terrorism to promote their own views. "Americans should recognize that political and ideological opportunists are not above exploiting any issue," he wrote. "We should also understand that not everything advertised as essential in the fight against our terrorist enemy is worthy."
Some libertarians are more caustic. "If libertarian ideas were unpopular before Sept. 11, they seem downright dismissed, scoffed at, kicked and spat upon after Sept. 11" laments Washington-area banker Christopher Mayer on the Website of the "paleolibertarian" Ludwig yon Mises Institute.
Indeed, Republicans in the Bush administration eagerly have proposed stringent curtailment of some liberties they apparently regard as inconvenient in time of war. Attorney General John Ashcroft proposed within two weeks of the attacks that Congress pass legislation authorizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to keep illegal aliens with ties to terrorists in jail indefinitely. "We've arrested and detained almost 500 people since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and we do that for people who are out of immigration status -- they've violated the law. We need the ability to keep them in jail and not have them bonded out" Ashcroft said in an interview on CBS at the beginning of October.
However, lawmakers of both parties objected to those stringent proposals. In the House, both Reps. Bob Barr, a conservative Republican from Georgia, and Maxine Waters, a left-leaning Democratic partisan from California, skeptically questioned Ashcroft about his proposals. "I'm mildly surprised" Carpenter says, referring to this convergence of left and right in defense of civil liberties. "This didn't exist in World War I, World War II or the early days of the Cold War."
Eventually, the Senate proved a bit more agreeable than the House. Key Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee struck a deal with the White House on a package of new police powers to combat terrorism. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the ranking member on the committee, said the agreement with the White House "takes into account each of our principled beliefs and is based on our views on the proper balance between the role of law enforcement and our civil liberties."
Senators refused to demand an expiration date for the new laws, but the House insisted that they expire at the beginning of 2004, Senate aides told journalists. Still, senators killed a proposal to allow immigrants suspected of terrorism to be held indefinitely without the filing of charges, aides said.
The Senate proposal does allow nationwide jurisdiction for electronic-surveillance devices and legal expansion of those devices to e-mail and the Internet. It also authorizes the use of "roving" wiretaps in which officials may be given court orders allowing them to tap any telephone used by a person targeted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the aides said. …

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A 64-year-old man was found dead in his home after a concerned family member performed a well-being check on Saturday, according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
Officials said, Roger A. Henderson was discovered lying on the floor with blood on his clothes in the 6800 block of 215th street.
Once other family members arrived, they observed a woman walking into a bedroom at the rear of the home.
ACSO was initially contacted by Roger A. Henderson's family to conduct a well-being check because they had not heard from him since the previous evening. In addition, Henderson's belongings were seen across the front yard of his home which raised red flags to the family.
Once ACSO patrol and K-9 Deputies arrived they found Henderson on the floor with multiple stab wounds on his chest and back.
After searching the home the deputies found the female suspect sitting in a nearby bedroom.
The female suspect, identified as 51-year-old Claudia B. Dallas, ignored several commands to surrender but was later apprehended with the use of an ACSO K-9 and taken into custody.
Dallas was booked into the Alachua County Jail on charges of first degree murder and resisting an officer.

How to Avoid a Crazy New Phone Scam that Is Costing People a Fortune
By Zach Epstein, BGR
Upon seeing missed calls from unfamiliar numbers on our phones, we often instinctively call the number back to see who it was. According to a recent warning issued by the Better Business Bureau, however, that quick call-back can end up costing consumers ridiculous sums of money.
A fairly new scam called the "one-ring phone scam" has become increasingly popular of late and is costing people a lot of money. It involves perpetrators setting up computers that call thousands of random numbers, let the phone ring once, and then hang up. When people call the number back, they are billed a $20 international call fee and then connected to a paid premium service, such as an adult chat line that charges $9 per minute or more.
According to the BBB, calls typically originate from area codes outside the United States, such as Antigua or Barbuda (area code 268), the Dominican Republic (809), Jamaica (876), the British Virgin Islands (284) or Grenada (473).
"Better Business Bureau recommends if you don't recognize an out-of-state telephone number on your caller ID, ignore it and if you do answer, do not call back," the group said in a news release. "Also you should check your cell phone bills carefully and inform your carrier if you spot any unauthorized charges. The earlier you document the fraud, the better your chances of having some or all of the charges removed."
Bottom line: If someone who calls but misses you has something important to say, she'll leave a voicemail or text you. If she doesn't leave a message, then there's no reason to call back.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) — A stolen Martin Luther King Jr. plaque from a Clovis city park has been found destroyed.
The Portales News-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/Vv77vU) that Clovis Police Chief Steve Sanders said the 24-by-30 bronze plaque was found Friday "in pieces" at Clovis Recycling. He says the plaque was located after recycling employees had been warned to be on the lookout for the plaque because of its value as scrap metal.
Sanders says police have identified a suspect but no arrests have been made.
Joyce Pollard, president of the Clovis Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, called the theft "unthinkable."
The Martin Luther King Jr. plaque was the centerpiece of a monument created in 2003 at Potter Park at a cost of $7,000.

Boarding GroupsMay 12th, 2014
I've been traveling recently and taken quite a few different airlines.
Some airlines like Alaska Air groups boarding from the back to the front. Logically the smartest way to fill the back first. You don't have to struggle with people pushing and moving over people.
Then you have United who has a group hierarchy and boards from the front to the back (sans first class). This rewards those who pay but also creates a 'better than thou' syndrome.
Will you compensate the efficient way for the hierarchy?

Frugal Innovation Lab: Engineering solutions for a sustainable world
Monday, Dec. 2, 2013
In SCU's School of Engineering (SOE), faculty and students strive to connect to the theme of "Engineering with a Mission." This means engineering students work toward the University's vision of building a more humane, just, and sustainable world through the development of innovative engineering solutions. In April 2012, Professor Radha Basu founded a groundbreaking new program to help the SOE reach this goal, called Frugal Innovation Lab (FIL).
FIL's mission is to "develop accessible, affordable, adaptable and appropriate technologies, products and solutions for emerging markets." In the program, students are guided through three elements: instruction, innovation and immersion. This begins with empathizing and identifying key human needs in order to develop appropriate solutions for emerging market consumers (parts of the developing world that face severe resource and infrastructure constraints, including environmental considerations). Then, students engage in hands-on development of technology innovations, working with Silicon Valley companies, field-based social enterprises, and core School of Engineering faculty to create a functional product using local or minimal resources. The final step takes the engineers into their chosen market: an immersion trip to work with the consumers and to implement their device. Using this process, students can receive vital experience working as both entrepreneur and engineer, while understanding how sustainability is attainable in diverse situations.
Real world success stories:
Ghana Footbridge Project
Lab on a Chip
Project Omoverhi
SalaUno CATRA
Emerging Power for Hospitals in Underdeveloped Countries
Faculty leaders for these FIL projects across several disciplines of engineering are:
Students continue to work on projects that have not yet been completed. For post-immersion projects, students may redesign their projects based on environmental and social needs of the particular area.
In less than 2 years since its official inception, FIL has already been making waves in the academic and professional sphere. Its one year anniversary was attended by representatives from HP, Samsung, Cisco, other Silicon Valley corporations, and Father Engh. Professor Basu has spoken at the UN Social Innovation Summit on FIL's successes and future. Students' projects are receiving grants and partnerships from various organizations, and some have become business collaborations outside of SCU.
Get involved:
The Frugal Innovation Lab is open to all students through classes in the School of Engineering (both undergraduate and graduate). The courses weave in sustainable development, business, and the humanities to apply understanding in all areas of project goals. To sign up, simply discuss your options with your academic advisor or contact FIL via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Frugal Innovation Lab has proven to be a champion for progress in sustainability. By engaging the developing world in environmental awareness through life-saving technology, FIL is driving SCU's sustainable mission forward.

Welcome to Sail-World.com's latest America's Cup Newsletter for the 34th America's Cup
America's Cup Day 8 San Francisco. Emirates Team NZ
Wind limits once again robbed fans and the sailors of another race in the 34th America's Cup.
This time the hair trigger on the wind limit was activated just a few seconds before the start – where the wind cannot not average more than the 19.9kt limit for more than 30 seconds.
On Monday the whole day was lost due to strong winds, and several other days have been restricted to just one race per day.
The wind alarm was triggered as Emirates Team New Zealand were on Match Point for the regatta. Both competitors ignored the radio call, and kept racing.
Despite starting at the unfavoured port entry into the start box, Emirates Team NZ adopted different tactics and confounded Oracle Team USA, by using a regular timed start to hit the line with pace and were in the lead at Mark 1.
Things being what they are they were well on the way to securing an America's Cup win, but that will have to wait for another day.
At the media conference, Oracle Team USA tactician Ben Ainslie, said he had heard the radio call before the boats crossed the line, but ignored it – in case he had mis-heard, and didn't want to be accused of botching a vital America's Cup race on the basis of a misunderstood radio call.
America's Cup Day 8 San Francisco. Emirates Team NZ leads Oracle Team USA on Leg 3 of Race 11
While everyone understands that safety measures were introduced after the Artemis disaster, the effect of these has robbed the 34th America's Cup of a lot of local following. Particularly when sailing savvy fans know that a normal wind limit is around 25 kts and is not adjusted for tidal flow.
Race 11 was everything that we have come to expect in this America's Cup.
A close race between two very high speed catamarans, sailed by extremely competent crews, who are developing their boats and sailing techniques as the series progresses, to the point where there is almost no certainty who will win on a given day and if one team enjoyed an advantage one day, it can easily vanish the next.
This is not your father's America's Cup, where the outcome of the regatta was known five minutes after the first cross.
This is something the likes of which has never been seen in sailing before, and which may never be seen again.
Hopefully that will not be the case, and the sailing vision which Larry Ellison planned and underwrote is just magnificent sport.
America's Cup Day 8 San Francisco. Emirates Team NZ crosses ahead of Oracle Team USA on Leg 3 of race 11
What slips most people by, when the speeds are discussed, and closing speeds in particular, and comparisons are inevitably made with motor racing or some such anachronism.
The factor that too many commentators put their hand over, is that these boats are achieving these speeds through wind power alone. Until San Francisco in September 2013, it was hard to imagine travelling at power boat speeds (in fact most powerboats couldn't keep up with these AC72's) and just powered by wind force alone.
Isn't that the ultimate green sport?
The ingenuity behind these boats just has to be seen to be believed, and they are a tribute to man's creative thinking and applied engineering.
As the 34th America's Cup marches to what most believe will be an inevitable conclusion, thoughts turn to the future.
Certainly most whole heartedly want to stay with this concept of boat, but are aware of the need to get more competitors into the game, and believe that can be done by dramatically lowering the costs.
The only way to do this is to tackle the issue head on, and introduce salary caps, and budget caps. They exist in other sports and the penalties for breach are so eye-watering you wouldn't contemplate a work-around for fear of being caught.
America's Cup Day 8 San Francisco. Oracle Team USA tactician Ben Ainslie at the Day 8 Media Conference
Fiddling with the boat size won't work. Even if the regatta were held in a tiny P-class dinghy, you are dealing with a breed that could assemble a 30 strong design team to develop the ultimate 7fter, and add another 30 into the support team.
Simply if the objective is to reduce cost, then the 65% of the budget that is personnel must be addressed head-on.
Anything else is just fiddling around the edges, and will yield the same result as all the other so-called cost cutting measures – failure.
That's all from me from San Francisco. It's been a great ride and I've enjoyed every moment – and there have been some absolute jaw-droppers on the water.
America's Cup Day 8 San Francisco. Emirates Team NZ' s Kiwi fans on the end of Pier 23 after Day 8
Full marks to Larry Ellison for creating this event. He doesn't receive the credit he is due in his home town. He's been out on the water most days and hopefully he can at least take the self-satisfaction that he has been able to lift the sailing game to a place where it has never been before.
This will be remembered as a fantastic event – but one which can be improved and taken to another level. But those are questions for another day.
Stay tuned to our website www.Sail-World.com for daily updates on how the action finally unfolds in the 34th America's Cup.
I am heading back to Auckland now and will be heading straight to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron to watch race 12 and possibly 13.
Good sailing!

Grand Junction police surrounded the house of a man who tried to elude authorites Wednesday, now he faces several charges. According to police and witnesses, Lonnie Lockwood, 36, supposedly entered the residence of Jaime Bogane located at 641 30 Road by force, then assaulted him with a pistol–grip shotgun.
Police say the incident may stem from an alleged assault that had happened the night before.
At around 8:00 a.m. a Mesa County Sheriff's Deputy spotted Lockwood, who then ran off as other units arrived on scene. When police surrounded Lockwood's home shortly thereafter, the suspect came out and was arrested peacefully by a joint police effort.
Lockwood faces five charges, including 2nd degree assault and possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

EPA, states, territories, and tribes are working together to develop the National Environmental Information Exchange Network, a secure, Internet- and standards-based way to support electronic data reporting, sharing, and integration of both regulatory and non-regulatory environmental data. States, tribes and territories exchanging data with each other or with EPA should make the Exchange Network (EN) and the Agency's connection to it, the Central Data Exchange (CDX), the standard way they exchange data and should phase out any legacy methods they have been using. More information on the Exchange Network is available at www.exchangenetwork.net. The EN Grant Program provides funding to states, territories, tribes, and inter-tribal consortia to develop the information technology and information management capabilities they need to actively participate in the Exchange Network. This program supports the exchange of data; mentoring, planning and training activities; and collaborative work within the Exchange Network. This grant program may also be used to fund the standardization, exchange and integration of geospatial information to address environmental, natural resource, and human-health challenges.
STAG (Competitive): Projects supported by the FY 2014 Exchange Network Grant Program, which are funded by EPA's STAG account, must address at least one priority activity from one of the following tiers: Tier 1- Data Publishing and Access Applications and Tools. Applications will include goals that improve access to environmental information for environmental program staff, managers, the public and other stakeholders. Projects with goals that lead to the creation of services that make data widely available as XML or JSON (including RESTbased services that conform to the Exchange Network REST standard or Exchange Network SOAP services) or consume Exchange Network published data, making them available to environmental program staff and managers and the public will be categorized as Tier 1. Grantees must use existing EN-based application programming interfaces (API's) or other EN-based services or new EN-based API's or services other partners can reuse. Grantees must register services they develop in RCS. Specific areas of focus for publishing proposals include: designing, developing and deploying desktop/laptop, mobile and Web applications that publish/access environmental information; publishing data to publicly accessible Web pages; and developing a dashboard for program managers and Agency executives. Regulatory Data Flows from the Phase 2 Plan. Applications will include goals that support implementation of Data flows that enable Exchange Network reporting to EPA systems that are priorities of the Phase 2 Plan. These data flows must be registered in ENDS and include: Integrated Compliance Information System Air (ICIS-Air), which will replace the Air Facility System or AFS; Safe Drinking Water Information System (SWDIS) NextGen; Electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) flow to Integrated Compliance Information System National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (ICIS-NPDES); and eManifest, Radon. Sharing Data Among EN Partners. Applications will include goals that support the sharing of data among EN partners, especially cross-state, cross-tribal, or state-tribal data exchanges. This includes data on institutional controls at contamination sites, data on cleanup sites, data sets of national significance to tribes (such as open dumps), UST data, best management practices for non-point source pollution and data that support environmental management of multi-state or regional airsheds, watersheds and water bodies of priority concern (such as the Great Lakes or Chesapeake Bay). Dataflows and related Web services must be registered in ENDS. Other resources must be registered in RCS. Virtual Node Implementation Support for States, Tribes, and Territories. Applications should also support the transition from locally installed nodes to the EPA-hosted Virtual Node, create data publishing services and new dataflows on the Virtual Node and support Virtual Node-related security analyses and plans. Additionally, all virtual nodes must be registered in ENDS. (Appendix C provides a detailed description of the Virtual Node and suggested implementation activities.) Shared CROMERR Services and Components. Applications will include goals that support the design of systems to use one or more EPA Web services that provide CROMERR compliant functionality, such as electronic signature, to reduce or eliminate redundant development by partners and streamline Technical Review Committee (TRC) application reviews. These tools must be registered in RCS. Appendix D provides a detailed description of the EPA CROMERR services.Examples of specific potential projects related to these broad topics include: ICIS-Air Collaborative Opportunity: A partnership application that includes joint state, local government and/or a regional/national Clean Air Act association to create a tool that facilitates the exchange of CAA stationary source compliance and enforcement data between and among multiple state/local agencies and EPA. The focus of this opportunity is to enable states/locals to develop and implement a common tool to easily exchange data via the EN with the modernized Air Facility System (AFS). The tool, which will be named ICIS-Air, would need to be designed, developed, tested and deployed in 2015 (ideally as early as possible). Applications should clearly identify all partners and their roles and responsibilities. Please note, as stated in Section III-C, the lead applicant must be an eligible entity. In addition, to be eligible for the higher level of funding, partnerships must represent multiple states. For this opportunity, this criterion can be met by having state or local agencies from two or more states and/or by having a Clean Air Act association with members that come from two or more states in the partnership. eReporting Collaborative Opportunity: A partnership proposal that builds an eReporting system integrating one or more EPA Web services that provide CROMERR compliant functionality such as electronic signature. In order for this proposal to be eligible for funding, applicants must commit to flowing the reported data to EPA using the Exchange Network, which will provide a complete end-to-end electronic reporting solution for environmental data. An example of an e-reporting grant proposal would be Clean Air Act Title V reporting (e.g. annual compliance certifications).
Geo-enabled Field Data Collection Tool: A partnership proposal that develops and shares source code for a field data collection tool for emergency response, inspection, compliance verification or other activities. The tool will use GIS visualization and integrated GPS, allowing staff to make updates in the field and then flow data back to back-end systems using the Exchange Network. This type of project could take advantage of Exchange Network strengths by enabling the flow of secure data, in near real-time, to multiple locations such as EPA, a state or any other partner with a node. The project could include developing EN standards and services that could plug into other tools such as Scribe for emergency response or other applications used in field deployment. A grantee will be able to use EPA's Facility Registry Service Web service, currently being developed, that will provide sub-facility data and their locations from multiple media programs, as well as submitting to other systems as appropriate. In addition, EPA will enable the data service to filter data by specific source(s), such as real-time emergency response data or a subset of data from a specific state. The grantee can also collaborate with EPA to develop additional FRS Web services as necessary. To ensure close collaboration between EPA and state, tribal and territorial partners, any assistance agreements to develop this tool will be awarded as cooperative agreements. Continuous Water Quality Monitoring Collaborative Opportunity: A partnership to develop an exchange of water quality sensor data. Continuous water quality monitoring (i.e. monitoring performed with a sensor, where a particular parameter or suite of parameters is measured automatically at set intervals) is becoming more prevalent. The EPA Office of Water (OW) is exploring options for enabling the exchange of this type of data. Several partners have been sharing summaries of this type of data via the Water Quality Exchange (WQX). WQX has worked well for sampling data, but the data model for sensor data is inherently different (i.e. less metadata for more results) and the approaches for sharing sensor data may also be different. This project would leverage the current thinking on the publishing approaches as defined under Phase 2 of the Exchange Network, as well as make use of the Exchange Network REST specification. EPA is considering approaches where state, tribal and territorial partners would register sensors within an EPA catalog, and then make the actual sensor data available via a publishing service from their node or via a cloud node. Proposals should evaluate existing schemas that have been developed for sharing this type of data (i.e. the recently approved Open Geospatial Consortium WaterML 2.0 standard, http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/waterml). The partnership would also work cooperatively with EPA on defining approaches for integrating this information with sampling data made available via WQX, as well as providing public access to this combined set of information. Through this project, EPA is seeking to more fully represent the complete set of water quality data that is being collected by continuing to support WQX for water quality sampling data while identifying new approaches for sharing sensor data. Tier 2 - Phase 1 Priority Flows. Additional funding for completing 10 priority flows. (Register in ENDS) Implementation by an Exchange Network partner (or partners) of any of the 10 flows for which an applicant has not received funding for development. Addition of entirely new modules to existing dataflows. For example, adding an entire class of UIC reporting, adding a new RCRAInfo module, or adding a new data family under ICIS-NPDES.

Udall, Senate intelligence panel take hands-off approach toward Egyptian "lynchpin"
Senator says it's a 'critical time in post-Mubarak Egypt'
The Colorado Statesman
U.S. Sen. Mark Udall isn't downplaying the impact that the upcoming Egyptian presidential election will have on the future of the region, but there isn't much room for American involvement as the country works itself through the aftermath of a massive political uprising.
Colorado's senior senator talked to reporters during a conference call from Egypt on Wednesday. He spent the week on a bipartisan tour through a region where the tumultuous political landscape has resulted in a sharp reduction of American influence, but members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence still met with Egyptian, Israeli, and Palestinian Authority officials in Jerusalem, Ramallah and Cairo.
Sen. Mark Udall, pictured in a file photo from earlier this year, spent the week on a bipartisan tour in the Middle East. He talked to reporters on a conference call from Egypt.
Senators Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and Mark Warner (D-Va.) also participated in the visit to the Middle East.
Udall said that while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak remain primarily focused on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, the panel also heard concerns from Israeli government officials on the stability of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, concerns that are shared by Udall.
"A deteriorating Israeli-Egyptian relationship could mean an entire re-ordering of the region," Udall said.
Describing the present moment as a "critical time in post-Mubarak Egypt," Udall said he commends the Egyptian government for carrying out "what most independent monitors have called a free and fair election."
Two polarizing frontrunners representing opposing political forces in the country emerged after the first round of elections: the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi and Hosni Mubarak's latest prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq.
The candidates will compete in a run-off election set to take place on June 16 and 17, with the new president taking control of the government by July 1.
Udall called the outcome of the first round "surprising," saying that there had been expectations that some moderate candidates such as former Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa would fare better in the election. The senator added that he did not want to "characterize the choice" that Egyptians will make in the upcoming weeks.
"We heard in a number of settings that American support is important, but they don't want us putting our thumb on the scale," Udall said.
The senator pinpointed the Sinai Peninsula, a small strip of land in northern Egypt that borders southern Israel, as a potential trigger for an Israeli-Egyptian conflict.
He spoke about how security has deteriorated in the Sinai, where there have been 14 successful attacks on the pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Jordan and Israel since Mubarak's ousting a little over a year ago. The Sinai Peninsula was also the staging area for a terrorist attack carried out on an Israeli bus traveling near the southern city of Eilat that killed eight Israelis in August of last year.
"All it would take is one rocket from the Sinai striking civilians in Israel to unravel the peace," Udall said.
A rocket that Israeli officials said was fired from the Sinai came close to doing just that last month when it struck the city of Eilat, but the rocket did not cause any casualties.
"We need to work with the new Egyptian government to help shore up what's happening in the Sinai," Udall said, adding that it was also one of Egypt's prime tourist destinations, but has not seen its tourism levels recover to where they were before the Egyptian revolution.
Udall remarked that the Israeli government has been smart in keeping its distance from the Egyptian elections, but they have "sent feelers out there and made the case that the treaty has been beneficial to the region as a whole."
"If the new Egyptian parliament and president are going to focus on a new economy, one of the cornerstones would be the treaty remaining," Udall said, also mentioning that the economic stability of the region was dependent upon an open Suez Canal, which would likely turn into a geopolitical pressure point if the Israeli-Egyptian alliance failed.
Also atop the panel's agenda were the ongoing efforts of international diplomacy with Iran.
Last week, the so-called P5+1 — comprised of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany — met at a summit in Baghdad to discuss Iran's nuclear ambitions, but no real progress was made.
Another set of talks is slated to take place in Moscow next week, and Udall said that he's hoping for more progress in that round.
"The Iranians can't play for time solely," Udall said. "There is sand in the hourglass, and it's running out."
Udall also touched briefly on the Syrian violence that has continued to plague the country, expressing a reluctance to support arming the rebels fighting government forces there because "nobody seems to know the opposition very well."
"I didn't hear an easy way forward," Udall said, adding that regional governments would have to take the lead in order to remedy the situation.
Describing Egypt as the "lynchpin of the Middle East," Udall said that the Egyptians are a proud people who have historically led the region and want to remain in that leadership role.
"I'm confident that if we stay engaged in the right way, Egypt — although it may be in fits and starts — will find its way to a new future that's more democratic than they've seen in the last few decades," Udall said.

If you're in a need of a quick side dish or want to try a new vegetable for Thanksgiving, give Brussels sprouts a try.
Fall is the peak time for these tiny cabbages in the cruciferous family.
Sometimes, Brussels sprouts get no respect. And that's too bad.
While some people sniff their noses at them -- sometimes for good reason (more on that later) -- they are not only tasty but pack a lot of nutrients in a small amount.
According to the USDA, Brussels sprouts contain more than the daily requirements for vitamins K and C and are a good source of fiber and folate. They also contain phytochemicals, which are known to help prevent some diseases.
At stores, you will see Brussels sprouts sold loose, in bags, on a stalk or frozen. The smaller ones tend to be sweeter and more tender. Choose ones that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter with bright green leaves and no signs of decay, such as yellowish leaves.
Fresh Brussels sprouts keep in the refrigerator in a paper bag for at least three days.
Quick cooking is best for Brussels sprouts. If you overcook them, they release a sulfur odor -- that smell that makes people turn up their noses. If they are undercooked, they can be bitter and tough.
You can steam, roast or sauté Brussels sprouts whole, halved or in quarters. To prepare them for cooking, rinse them in water. Trim the stems and remove the outer layer. Leave them whole, cut them in half or quarter them.
In today's recipe, the Brussels sprouts are pan sautéed and get a sweet and tangy flavor from balsamic vinegar. If you don't want to buy pancetta (an Italian bacon cured with salt and spices but not smoked), use just about any thick-sliced bacon.
Here are two easy Brussels sprout side dishes:
• Shred 1 1/4 pounds of Brussels sprouts using a food processor. Cook a few bacon slices until crisp. Remove from the pan and crumble. In the same skillet, sauté 1/3 cup chopped onion until golden. Add 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and cook about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Steam 1 1/4 pounds of quartered Brussels sprouts until just tender, about 7 minutes. In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter and sauté 2 tablespoons of minced shallot for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour. Whisk in 2/3 cup 1% milk and 2 tablespoons sherry and bring to a simmer while whisking. Reduce heat and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Recipe adapted from Eating Well magazine.)

I decided to take a look at the Vogue patterns web site - I hadn't even logged in yet and at the top it right corner, it said Welcome Carol and I am able to access all information about a Carol Stoner including all her account information and the ability to change her password!
I emailed the web site to let them know about the issue.
I just refreshed their web page and now I'm able to view another account!
I am very concerned about my information stored on that web site.

This news makes me a little nervous as I placed an order today for the Club BMV sale. Having read the 1st post, I went to Vogue Patterns and on the top right it said Welcome (no name) and Log Out. This gives the impression that I was logged in (I wasn't), but did not identify me by my name or any name. I went to "My Account" and it came up blank for me to fill in- no ID. I hope others chime in with what they experience.
I just had an excellent customer service experience with McCalls- prompt and helpful. So let's see what they can do on this.

Please be looking for a PM from me. Thanks for your offer of help. Also, as a separate order, I renewed my Club BMV at 11:36 west coast time, so it too probably falls into the problematic time zone.
I just went to the website and I was able to view someone's account. An account that wasn't mine. I could see all the orders, but they were all dated today even though I'm sure no one would place 20 orders in one day. I logged out and now I am just a guest.
I'm afraid to sign in and see what happens to my own account.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
On a cold evening last week, some 200people huddled like a swarm of fireflies outside the gates of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange Mother House in Orange, armed with candles and fortified with atole and pan dulce.The workers, union organizers and community supporters were holding a candlelight vigil to call on the head nun, Sister Katherine Gray, to negotiate a pre-union-election agreement with the Service Employees International Union (See "Sister Knows Best," Nov. 28). But the occasion carried with it more than a hint of irony. The guest of honor, tiny union giant Dolores Huerta, once walked picket lines with members of the same order back in the 1970s, when nuns from Orange traveled to Fresno and aggressively joined the farm workers' struggle to form a union.
Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Cesar Chavez, remembers the nuns for their willingness to confront growers during one of the bloodiest summers in Fresno and says she is perplexed by the current controversy at St. Joseph Health System, the order's multibillion-dollar nonprofit hospital network. The National Labor Relations Board has found that the health system has been intimidating employees who favor forming a union at some of its hospitals in Northern and Southern California. The system has also employed some of the biggest and best-known union-busting firms around.
In an exclusive interview with the Weekly before the vigil, the 77-year-old Huerta shared memories of the sisters' involvement in the farm worker struggle and her thoughts on the current situation.
OC Weekly: Do you remember the Sisters of St. Joseph's involvement in the early years of the farm workers' movement?
Dolores Huerta: Oh, absolutely. The Sisters of St. Joseph were always right out there in the forefront with the farm workers' union. Not only here in California, but also in Florida and also other places where we were organizing. It was just like a group that we could always count on for support. And not only for support--they actually joined and worked full-time with the farm workers' union. We always considered them to be a very primary source of support for us.
We had some of the Sisters of St. Joseph that came to work full-time with the union. And when I say that, I mean, because people worked without any wages, that was quite a big sacrifice. One of them, Sister Pearl, went to work with the union in Florida, and she's still there working with farm workers to this day.
Do you have personal memories of working with the sisters directly?
Well, actually, there are a lot of memories because when the sisters would go out there, No. 1, it really gave the farm workers a lot of inspiration and hope to know that they were out there with us, and they were often subjected to the same kind of abuses as the organizers and farm workers that were striking and boycotting were exposed to. So they were really on the front lines with us. It wasn't, you know, just like being there and cheering us on. They were actually out there with us.
Did they stand out as a Catholic group in any way?
Well, we had, of course, a few priests that would come from time to time and also work with the farm workers. But I think the fact that they were women and they were willing to take those kinds of risks, I think that made it more compelling.
There weren't that many orders. The Sisters of Loretto also sent their people to work with us. But the [Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange] were . . . I would say that they did stand out from the other orders that came to work with us, definitely. And I think it was also because they stayed with us a long time. It wasn't just, I'm going to be there for a week or something. They would actually stay there-for years.
Before the Council of Bishops got involved, we had the Sisters of St. Joseph out there with us.
What else do you remember?
I remember Elena Jaramillo. She was there during the most vicious part, when people were getting beaten up and killed. She was out there just standing up to the growers, talking to them directly, you know. That was in Fresno. I think I was on that picket line. She was out there. She was a tiny woman, too. In fact, my daughter Juanita, she was there, and she remembers that. She was only, like, 3 or 4 years old, and she remembered that. She remembered the sisters being out there on the picket line talking to the growers. There's that fantastic picture of [Elena]. They have a great history.
When did you first find out about the situation at St. Joseph Health System?
It was actually up north. Some of the workers who live up in that area [Santa Rosa], they contacted me. Then the union contacted me. Some of the workers who work up there used to be farm workers. Now they work for the hospital.

Filed under: Magazine Vaults,Not Your Average
Written by: Robbie Ettelson
Who'd of thunk it? Two posts in two days? Due to some family dramas, I've been out of action for a minute, but things should be back on track from now on. Now all I've gotta do is catch up on two weeks of emails…..
Here's a new category that I'm adding to the Tribute – the Magazine Vault. I've been a rap magazine junkie since the days of NME, Hip Hop Connection and even Rap Masters. When I bought my first copy of The Source (The "1980-1990: Decade of Hip Hop" issue), it was a wrap. Plus I can't forget about Blaze from Mental Combat, who was cranking out Vapours magazine on the first Mac computer and reviewing every hip-hop release during the late 80's. Over the years, On The Go, Stress, Ego Trip, Represent, RapPages and many more all did their thing, and I copped just about all of them in an attempt to quench my never-ending thirst for rap trivia and actual facts.
Most of these publications have survived my escapades over the years, although most of them are missing their covers, posters and everything in-between, not to mention that many are creased and torn to shit, so their not about to fetch me any coin, so I may as well share them up in this piece.
To set things off, I've found an example of Reviews That Lose. Taken from Vibe magazine, circa 1994, we find Cheo H. Coker (the guy who followed Luke around Japan and got snuffed by Masta Killa) shitting on an advance copy of KMD's Black Bastards, the album that almost never was. I guess his crystal ball was cracked, judging by his closing remark. Talking about missing the point.
Following on from my 2005 Awards, I finally managed to "preview" the latest albums from Black Rob and AZ, thanks to dope blog called The Smoking Section. These guys have all kinds of old and new albums on there, and recently pointed me in the direction of digital copies of well-worn vinyl favourites like Criminal Minded, Back To The Old School and Road To The Riches. For more special request action, be sure to register with the forums at Phila Flava and Cocaine Blunts, where Jaz and co are serving-up a nice selection of oldies.
But back to Rob and AZ…..A.W.O.L. has some good shit, despite the fact that Sosa starts rocking lines from Rakim's "Know The Ledge" right after his superior cover of Milk D's anthem. I actually grabbed some home-made remix version of the album by mistake, and I was relieved when I figured out that it wasn't the real album since most of the remixes were trash (although the "Still Alive" remake was a big improvement over the annoying beat of the original). One Stop Beats did a nice feature on some of the producers on the album.
As for B.R., a lot of the leaked/mixtape tracks were better than the final retail version. Some of the beats sounded like stuff which didn't make Life Story, with that polished Bad Boy sound which was big around 2000. Still, there are some great songs like "Warrior", and despite the fact that Babs and Chopper from Da Band feature, Rob is a rapper and a pretty darn good one (thanks Finesse!). Plus, anyone who destroys their liver from too much booze and E is OK in my book. He also screams on a kid interviewing him over at SOHH Teh Ghey, after he makes the mistake of implying that Rob doesn't rep Harlem enough. Bad move.

Regarding this AZ home-made remix album, was the version of "still alive" on there the version over the "broken language" beat ? That was nuts. You can get that on wax on one of them Word Of Mouth 12″s. Agreed on the album version sucking doe.
It also sucked that the beat on "b.l.a.c.k" got switched on the Black Rob cd. The original was pure Grand Puba. "Help me out" is my shit off there. Love that rolling piano sample.Comment by Brian Beck From Wisconsin 01.19.06 @
I kind of agree with that Black Bastards review. It's a decent album, but not as good as Mr. Hood and has a lot of bog-standard 'mid '90s underground type tracks that just sound dull today. Whereas Mr. Hood is still kind of fresh. Admittedly, it's beeen awhile since I haven't been able to track down a CD of Mr. Hood.Comment by finally 01.19.06 @
No way. Bastards was KMD's Low End Theory.
"Black Bastards & Bitches", "What A Niggy Know" remix and "Contact Blitt" > anything on Mr. Hood. Although the skits with Mr. Hood are some of the best ever ("You're mother likes to visit old churches…").
As far as the AZ remix, the "Broken Language" blend is a lot better than this other one. I need to check that other mix of "B.L.A.C.K." though, if anyone has it.Comment by Robbie 01.19.06 @
I'll have to go back and listen to both because it's been a *LONG* time.
But I actually like Peoples Instinctive Travels better than Low End Theory.Comment by finally 01.19.06 @
"Footprints" is a great song, but Phife is horrible on that first Quest.
AZ feat. Notortious B.I.G. – Still Alive 2006 (thanks to Joey from Straight Bangin').Comment by Robbie 01.19.06 @
I'll hook up the original "b.l.a.c.k" on monday.
Chalk me up as a "black bastards" > "mr hood" type too. The tracks Robbie mentioned, original "what a niggy know", "get u now", "gimme", "sweet premium wine", "it sounded like a roc"..all great. I probably prefer both "black bastards" and "operation doomsday" to "mr hood" and i LOVE "mr hood".Comment by Brian Beck From Wisconsin 01.20.06 @
I was just listening to Black Bastards in the car the other day and it was alright. The Melvin VanPeebles samples and abrupt transitions sound similar to Madlib's latest album, and I was curious if anyone else had noticed the possible influence.Comment by mordecai 01.20.06 @
I like Mr Hood better as a whole album. Although I never really thought of Black Bastards as trying to be hard. Nobody mentioned "Smokin That Shit" with Kurious and Lord Sear. That cut is classic, "just like george bush is the type to drop bombs, jorge kurious will smoke skunk wit ya moms"Comment by DJFORCE 01.23.06 @

Expecting the unexpected has always been a good way to go about experiencing Throwing Muses' music. But if there's a constant to the beloved band and its leader Kristin Hersh, it's that she follows her own, well, muse, as she explains in an interview with PopMatters.

When I was a kid, I started a newspaper with my friend called "Z-Dog Magazine." It was this little, 4-page newsletter all about dogs. We started it because my friend and I are dog fanatics, so we both knew a lot about dogs. We thought a dog magazine would help other dog owners connect with their pooches. We were inspired by my subscription to Dog Fancy Magazine.
As I got older, my true passion shifted from dogs to journalism (though I'll always be an animal lover at heart). I loved knowing the news firsthand and sharing it for the public good. Furthermore, the concept of sharing stories in a unique and fun way appealed to me. This translated to me becoming intrigued in other areas of communication: theatre, radio, fiction writing, playwriting, and screenwriting. I found myself irrevocably attached to the idea of public discussion and the sharing of knowledge through an assortment of different mediums. The news could be both educational and entertaining.
My Performance-Communication Arts major at St. Lawrence University opened the door for me.
It opened the door to my comprehension of how to get my voice "out there" and heard.
It opened the door to my comprehension of modern communication styles as well as the history of journalism, a necessary education to have for any journalist.
It opened the door so that I could fulfill my dreams and become someone who is able to do what she loves.
Now, I can say that I've written the book for and stage directed my own, original musical, which was staged for an open audience in Spring of 2012. Now, I can say that I write for the Hill News, and have since my first year of college. Now, I can say that I'm a DJ for KSLU, St. Lawrence's radio station. Now, I can say that I'm the Senior Non-Fiction Editor of the Laurentian Magazine, St. Lawrence's literary magazine. Now, I can say that I was in an Improv Comedy Troupe for a year. Now, I can say that I've been a production intern at Time Warner Cable Sports. Now, I can say that I've both acted and directed in one-acts for the Directors' Showcase. Now, I can say that I'm currently assistant directing the Fall 2012 stage production, I'm interning at North Country Public Radio, I'm working in the Music Library, I'm living in the Annex Performing Arts Theme House (2 years now), and I'm doing everything that I've wanted to do.
St. Lawrence opened the door.

According to research by the Halifax, Brighton is the UK's top property market in terms of house price growth. The annual House Price Per Square Metre Survey shows that, of the 62 cities scrutinized, Brighton has experienced the highest growth in property prices based on an average price per square metre. At the end of 2006, house prices in Brighton were up 13% and in the last quarter alone, property prices have risen again by 1.8% according to the Land Registry. The average property price in Brighton in 2006 was £187,309 with detached houses selling for just over £350,000. The average property in Brighton now costs £213,566 (up to £248,000 according to Halifax figures) with detached properties selling for over £400,000. The national average stands between £177,000 and £228,000. Property price growth has averaged 11.7% over the last five years, exceeding the national average and growth in earnings. Sustaining this level of growth will depend on investment by developers and local authorities. However, pressure of homeowner finances and rising interest rates have led experts to predict a cooling off of the property market.
Top management from the now defunct XL Airways' Freedom Flights are behind the recent launch of a new tour operator called Kiss Flights. Backed by ATOL, it will be licensed to carry 25,000 passengers in Summer 2009.
Described as a "dynamic travel company", the firm has been set up by Gatwick based aviation broking firm Meridian Aviation to sell seat only tickets to travel agents, thereby filling in the massive gap left by XL's demise. - 18th November 2008 11:37

The effect of oil prices on cheap flights -
Ryanair's chief executive Michael O'Leary recently warned that even though further increases in the price of oil might result in a reduction of routes, Ryanair was looking forward to the weeding out of its weaker competitors. Easyjet, British Airways and Ryanair are all expected to increase fares by 4-5% next year to cover increases in their costs.
Despite a gloomy forecast for the airline industry, Easyjet recently launched a new route from Gatwick to Biarritz, for which it confirmed 'forward bookings have been strong'. In addition, British Airways last month launched a new daily scheduled flight from Gatwick to Paphos International Airport, which is expected to be popular with locals and tourists alike.- 26th August 2008 15:43

Interest rates are cut to 5% -
The Bank of England continued to try to stave off the impact of the credit crunch on Thursday by cutting interest rates from 5.25% to 5%. This is the third consecutive drop in 5 months. Many homeowners and borrowers will be greatly relieved about the cut which was passed on uncharacteristically fast by some of the country's biggest mortgage lenders. Both the Halifax and Nationwide cut their standard variable rates immediately and Lloyds TSB and First Direct promised to follow suit.
Further interest rate cuts are expected, despite inflation currently running at 2.5%, 0.5% more than the level set for the Bank of England. Richard Lambert, Director General of the CBI said, 'This cut was badly needed, and will be welcomed by a business world that is feeling the pressures of the credit crunch and of slower growth. - 15th April 2008 11:03
Proposed new laws affect buy to let investment -
The UK government are reportedly looking at new laws which would see potential second homebuyers having to apply to the local council for planning permission to have a property's use registered as a holiday home. Property professionals are predicting this would cause UK buy to let investors to sell up and buy overseas.
As April sees the capital gains tax threshold reduce to 10% on sales of assets up to £1 million, this is an ideal time for buy to let investors to sell up and look for better returns abroad. Some French and Spanish developers are reportedly very optimistic about the affect these new laws will have on their business.- 9th April 2008 16:46

Finally! After the last two episodes, I was about to give up on this show. So glad to see the complex plot, the humor, the mystery, the multiple levels of understanding, and Gibbs back in control of things. Hope this keeps up!!
This was the worst episode I have ever seen, and I've seen them all and loved most of them. This was a case of everyone going after one suspect, the suspect not defending himself, and Vance and Tony going out of control. The interrogations were out of control and chaotic - talk about overkill! The show lacked all of the complex forensic techniques usually demonstrated. The plot was so thin. And worst of all, the new character is just a shadow - threatening to replace Gibbs. I don't like it!! If this represents what we'll see this season, I may have to opt out of watching.

Weigh-in earns $1,690 for United Way
The fifth annual spare change challenge between Eudora and Baldwin City raised $1,690 for the United Way of Douglas County.
During the annual "Weigh-in for United Way" fundraising event Oct. 22-25, residents contributed spare change in a competition to see which city could raise the most pounds of money.
The final change collections took place at the annual Baldwin City-Eudora football game Oct. 25 at Baker University.
During halftime of the game, the "Weigh-In for United Way" trophy was awarded to Baldwin City residents for collecting 640 pounds of coins totaling $1,018 for United Way. Eudora residents contributed 418 pounds of coins totaling $672.
The trophy was accepted by Baldwin City High School Student Council President Tess Lyons and Peach and Ted Madl, Co-Chairs for the Baldwin City Division of the 2007 United Way campaign. Representing the Eudora community were Eudora High School Student Council representatives Logan Hartpence, Connor Hartpence, Chelsea Carnagie, faculty sponsor Paul Walrod and the United Way Eudora Division Chair Deborah Becker.
Proceeds from the event will go toward the 2007-2008 United Way campaign, which funds 27 partner agencies in the Douglas County area.

I am sure this would not happen but what a good project it would be to make an inviting video of the USA about why or why it would not be just the perfect place to live.
Or do one about a state you live in.
I call Georgia as my project.
I will do a pro and a con about why you should or should not settle here.

HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - Down in Hazard Saturday afternoon were the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, who were scrimmaging and taking part in a youth camp.
With several eastern Kentucky players on the roster this season, Colonel head coach Dean Hood says he's hoping that coming down to Hazard can help generate some interest and add to the fan base of the EKU football program.
"The first thing we're looking for is just to generate some interest over here in the eastern part of the state of Kentucky," says Hood. "We're Eastern Kentucky University and we wanted to come out this way, and Hazard's a beautiful place, and wanted to get people excited about Colonel football and Colonel Nation. We really enjoyed doing the little kids camp. It was awesome to get a chance to get them out there running some drills and also just talking to them."

Canned goods and non-parishable foods sit in boxes Friday at Hoover Elementary.
- Filed Under
The December donation deluge has subsided, but some area students still are in the giving mood.
Students at Hoover Elementary this month collected more than 500 pounds of food to donate to the Johnson County Crisis Center. There's a dip in donations after the holiday giving season, so Crisis Center officials say school projects like Hoover's at the beginning of the calendar year are helpful.
"Quite a few schools do food drives for day 100 or for Martin Luther King Jr. day of service," said Beth Ritter Ruback, development director for the Crisis Center. "That's nice because we do see a drop-off ...
