If Eric Holder cannot, or refuses to see a connection between Islam and terrorism, what, in his view, does define who these individuals are? And if he cannot do it with more precision than "there are a variety of reasons why people do these things," how can we possibly hope to have an effective strategy for identifying and dealing with terrorists?
Now we've just had the latest product of Holder's impeccable judgment: All murder counts dismissed on al-Qaida operative Ahmed Ghailani because of Holder's insistence that terrorists be tried in civilian courts.
We're spending more and more on technologies designed to deal with the last terrorist incident, which they can readily circumvent by doing things a little differently the next time.
Even if logistics make it impossible to do interviews as Israelis do, we could still design technologies to help zero in on likely suspects.
It's hard to sort out whether our current administration is simply confused and naive, or whether they actually sympathize with our enemies.
Either way, we citizens are the ones paying the price, in the wasted money we're shelling out and the humiliating invasions into our privacy.
So let's be clear that body scanners are not the problem. They are the symptom. The problem is our leadership in Washington.

Calvary Chapel is an evangelical association of Christian churches with over one thousand congregations worldwide. Calvary Chapel also maintains a number of radio stations around the world and operates many local Calvary Chapel Bible College programs. It presents itself as a "fellowship of churches" in contrast to a denomination. Churches which affiliate with Calvary Chapel may use the name "Calvary Chapel" but need not do so.
Beginning in 1965 in Southern California, this fellowship of churches grew out of Chuck Smith's Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. Doctrinally, Calvary Chapel is evangelical, dispensational, pretribulationist, and believes in the principle of sola scriptura. Calvary Chapels place great importance in the practice of expository teaching, a "verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book" approach to teaching the Bible. However Chuck Smith will gloss over passages of scriptures if he feels it is controversial and may cause division or cause polarization on issues. Typically, Calvary Chapels operate under a senior pastor-led system of church government, sometimes referred to as the "Moses" model; Chuck Smith's "Calvary Chapel Distinctives" summarizes the tenets for which Calvary Chapel stands.

Like the Death Adder, its bigger brother, the Salmosa has a 1800 dpi 3G infrared sensor, but this mouse is much simpler product, with only two large index buttons and a scroll wheel. Equally, the blue LEDs that are usually found underneath Razer's mice, or beside the scroll wheels, are abset. This small black mouse makes the most of its minimalist design. The ambidextrous shape, making it suitable for left- and right-handed gamers helps it stand out from the competition.
The software utility is, as always with Razer, simple and only includes the features you really need. You can assign macros the independently programmable buttons. There is no control to change dpi and polling rate on the fly, but you can reprogramme a control to do just that if that's a feature you use a lot. Doing this, of course, means you have fewer buttons to assign to macros ...
You hold the Salmosa in your hand in the same way as the earlier Copperhead. In order to experience real comfort with it you have to control it with your fingertips. This is ideal for certain games but for strategy games, office work or for enhancing pictures, you tend to put your palm over the mouse which is less comforable. The Death Adder and Logitech's G5, with their more rounded shape are a better choice if you want a more versatile mouse.
Like on many other gaming mice, you get 1000Hz ultra polling/1ms response time. This will be much appreciated by graphic artists or gamers who are looking for precision. Unfortunately it will set you back in terms of CPU consumption (up to 50 % on our Intel E7300).
The infrared sensor, like that of the Death Adder, cannot be used on a glossy surface. If you don't believe us, try it on the cover of a magazine and watch it go mad! Although a laser sensor works better on a wider range of surfaces, Razer is clearly trying to up the resolution foir high-end gamers, so this is a reasonable decision.
Our bottom line is that if you can find a Death Adder for a decent price, go for it, as you'll enjoy more customisability, a more comfortable grip and more versatility. As long as it doesn't break the bank, then the Death Adder beats this Salmosa.

What is Garage Flooring?
Garage flooring is essentially anything you use to cover, coat, and protect the floor in your garage. Until recently, you've only had a couple of bare choices: concrete or carpet left over from your home.
Now, there are so many varying options to choose from. This is where we come in. First, you need to identify exactly what kind of flooring best meets your need. Are you looking to protect your floor from water, snow, and chemicals that come from your car? Is your budget limited and you don't care how it looks, but just want an easy clean-up option? Maybe looks do matter as you spend a lot of time in the garage with your buddies.
These are all scenarios to consider and to discuss at length with our experienced team so we can provide the floor that not only looks good, but provides all the options you're searching while staying within your budget. We have several inexpensive methods to get the flooring you've always desired.

August 1, 2013 Any Republican seeking the White House must be able to capture the conservative electorate of the GOP primaries, and then the more moderate general-election voter.

Solehi approves 2.8 percent tax increase
By Kelly Martin Special to The Morning Call - Freelance
June 17, 2008
The Southern Lehigh School Board approved a 2.8 percent tax increase even though the district is starting the upcoming school year with a $16.1 million fund balance. At a meeting last week, board member Michael Eddinger conceded the fund balance -- money left over from the current budget -- "remains high." But he said the board has adopted the philosophy of levying regular, slight tax increases to keep the fund balance healthy. That way, Eddinger said, the district can avoid the need for a large tax hike in the future that would require voter approval in the form of a referendum.
Pv Adopts A No-increase Budget District Will Use Fund Balance
by CHRISTINA M. PARKER, The Morning Call
June 23, 1995
Panther Valley taxpayers may pay more for groceries, gas and rent next year, but not for school taxes. The school board last night adopted a final, $11,975,858 budget that keeps property taxes at 158.5 mills for the fourth consecutive year. That means the owner of a property assessed at $5,000 would continue to pay $792.50 a year for property taxes. The 1995-96 budget reflects a 10.1 percent increase over this year's spending plan. However, school officials will use $793,510 from the district's fund balance to avoid a tax increase.
Quakertown Schools Budget Proposes 1.7% Tax Increase * Fund Balance Would Cover Most Higher Spending But Is Needed For Debt Service.
by NATALIE KOSTELNI, The Morning Call
April 23, 1999
Quakertown Community School District's proposed 1999-2000 budget calls for a 1.7 percent increase in the real estate tax. The $44 million preliminary budget, unveiled at a school board meeting Thursday night, would raise the tax 5 mills to 298 mills. Property owners would pay $298 for every $1,000 in assessed valuation. That means owners of properties assessed at the district average of $5,500 would pay $1,639 next year, $27.50 more than they pay now. The additional millage would go toward debt service on a three-year, $5.8 million technology plan across the district.
Panther Valley proposed budget changes won't cost taxpayers money
By Terry Ahner Special to The Morning Call - Freelance
June 7, 2002
Members of the Panther Valley School Board's District Building and Grounds Committee met Thursday to discuss proposed changes to the district's tentative $14.1 million, no-tax-increase budget. Three proposed changes were discussed for the budget, which will use money from the fund balance to avoid a tax increase. Under the changes, the district would spend $75,000 to replace one side of bleachers in the high school gymnasium, $30,000 for a Bobcat tractor and $2,500 for improvements to the high school music room.
Audit: Bethlehem finished 2009 in the red
By Jarrett Renshaw, OF THE MORNING CALL
August 10, 2010
Bethlehem finished 2009 with a nearly $5 million deficit, marking the second consecutive year the city finished in the red, according to a Morning Call analysis of figures released Tuesday. The deficit was caused in part by the Great Recession, which sent economically tied revenues spiraling downward and falling $2.5 million short of projections. The deficit drove the city's fund balance more in the red. At the end of 2008, the city had a negative fund balance of about $3.2 million, which grew to $8.09 million last year, according to figures provided by the city.
Fountain Hill Trims Spending, But 2000 Budget Still In The Red * Council Plans To Dip Into Fund Balance To Cover $125,000 Deficit.
by JEFF CHRISTMAN (A free-lance story for The Morning Call)
November 30, 1999
Fountain Hill has cut its overspending by $75,000 in its proposed 2000 budget, although the borough's expected expenses still surpass projected revenue by $125,000. Council President Robert Barnes said officials have eliminated funding for a new police car, worked out a plan to reduce police overtime and will lease, not purchase, a power generator. "We had a lot of cooperation from our department heads," Barnes said Monday night. The $1.7 million budget keeps taxes the same at 10.25 mills, 0.25 of which is the fire tax. With a tax rate of 10.25 mills, property owners will pay $10.25 for every $1,000 in assessed valuation.
Easton Area debates how to spend extra $1.5 million
By Madeleine Mathias Of The Morning Call
March 9, 2005
The Easton Area School Board will decide Monday what it should do with an extra $1.5 million it has in its fund balance. Jeffrey Bader, business manager, reported to the Finance Committee that the recently received audit for the 2003-2004 school year showed that $2.8 million was added to the fund balance, bringing it up to $8.6 million, or 9 percent of the budget. He said the state recommends fund balances -- money set aside yearly for emergency uses -- not exceed 8 percent. That would mean that the district should take $1.5 million from the fund and designate it for specific uses, Bader said.
Lower Macungie has $7 million available for a rainy day
By Patrick Lester, OF THE MORNING CALL
June 19, 2011
In a post-recession period that has been unkind to government budgets, Lower Macungie officials are asking themselves a question that would make many of their neighbors envious: What do you do with $7 million? Officials in the affluent municipality, which already boasts the distinction of having no property tax, are batting around potential uses for their $7.1 million fund balance — a rainy day fund that represents nearly 90 percent of the township's general operating budget.
Southern Lehigh property tax likely to rise slightly
By Melinda Rizzo, SPECIAL TO THE MORNING CALL
May 25, 2011
The Southern Lehigh School Board voted 5 to 4 on Monday to adopt a proposed final budget for the 2011-12 school year that raises taxes by a quarter mill, or about $23 or the average homeowner. Directors John Quigley, Jeffrey Dimmig, William Miracle and board President Michael Eddinger voted against the plan. Directors have until June 30 to file a budget with the state Department of Education. Directors are expected to adopt a final budget on June 27. The $54.6 million proposed budget has a roughly $3 million income shortfall.

Since late President Turgut Özal's time in the early 1990s, Turkey has been debating, on and off, a transition to a presidential system from the current parliamentary regime.
For a long period Turkey was ruled by fragile coalition governments. Then leading politicians floated the idea of setting up a presidential system they believed was a better solution to bring stability, which they saw coalition governments could not install. In the second half of the 1990s during his time as president, Süleyman Demirel brought to the agenda the introduction of a presidential system.
Like Özal, however, as president he sought to empower himself with strong powers, raising questions over whether the two then-veteran politicians genuinely sought to bring stability to Turkey or whether they were pursuing their self-interest as presidents.
Anyway, at the time of both politicians, Turkey's tutelage system was very strong so that in the absence of removing military's influence in politics, the existing parliamentary regime didn't function properly let alone as a presidential system.
Under the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), which has been in power since the 2002 November elections, the military's political power has been curbed to a certain extent and taboos have begun to be broken as the government introduced military and civil reforms to abide by the democratic criteria set forth by the European Union. But these good old days are also over as the Turkish-EU accession negotiations came to a standstill and that the AK Party has been in reform fatigue for the past couple of years.
The moment that Turkey stopped reforms, its democratic standards began to deteriorate. In a parallel move, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also began to give signs of authoritarian tendencies. In the midst of concerns that he has shifted from a reformist mindset to one that does not tolerate differing ideas -- as witnessed in serious restrictions imposed on freedom of expression -- his party recently submitted a proposal to a parliamentary commission rewriting a brand new civilian constitution, for the introduction of a presidential or a semi-presidential system.
Erdoğan, like the previous veteran politicians I mentioned above, is suspected of seeking to introduce the presidential system to empower his authority when and if he becomes president in the 2014 referendum to be held to replace President Abdullah Gül.
The question is whether Turkey has got an infrastructure to counterweigh the presidential system.
Michael Thuman, an experienced journalist based in İstanbul as the Turkey and Middle Eastern bureau chief of German weekly Die Zeit, chatting with me recently, likened the Erdoğan proposal for a Turkish presidential system to the 19th-century constitutional monarchy. This is because, he says, Turkey does not have, for example, a decentralized system where local authorities have powers while the AK Party suggested a one-chamber parliament instead of two, which will not ensure checks and balances.
"Hence, Turkey does not have an established system to counterweigh the strong powers the president will hold. Turkish opposition parties, in the meantime, have strong objections against a decentralized or a federal system out of a fear that Turkish unity as a state will diminish," Thuman said.
A translation of a 19th-century constitutional monarchy into the 21st century will make Turkey into countries such as Russia, China or those in Central Asia. However, Thuman also states the difference between Turkey and nations like Russia, as he says the latter's system is fake while Turkish political parties are genuine.
"Although Turks are not revolutionaries, there is enough democratic memory in Turkey, which differs from the countries I mentioned," Thuman says.
Can President Gül alone act as a counterweight to curb Erdoğan's alleged appetite for setting up a 19th-century-type constitutional monarchy? He can't, of course, but renowned for his democratic credentials, Gül stresses the importance of a consensus in producing a new constitution intended to replace the military authored charter in 1982, while stating his reservations against a presidential system.
Gül has also been activating mechanisms to balance Erdoğan's alleged authoritarian tendencies in addition to frequent stressing that Turkey should continue with the reforms, which it has halted for a long period, to adhere to EU's democratic criteria.
In the final analysis, Turkey's existing democratic credentials, though not strong enough, may prevent a presidential system being established that carries the danger of setting up an authoritarian regime in this country.

|Select hardwood or laminate flooring. An increasing number of KB Home homebuyers are opting for hard surface flooring versus carpeting. Not only is it a timeless and classic look that is durable and easy to clean, it can also help reduce allergens in the air. If you do opt for carpeting, make sure it is low-VOC for better indoor air quality. All carpeting offered at KB Home's Design Studio is low-VOC.
|Covet quartz countertops. A visually striking alternative to granite is quartz, which is available in a stunning array of colors at the KB Home Design Studio. It's non-porous, requires no sealants and keeps its gloss and shine without polishing—just wipe down with gentle soap and water and you're good to go.
|Consider new "mirror-glass finish" appliances. Why not decrease the time spent scrubbing away fingerprints and smears from the front of your appliances by opting for a super-sleek and modern "mirror-glass finish" appliance suite from Whirlpool's® Ice Collection? Available in black, white and stainless steel finishes at the KB Home Design Studio, these are the hot, new and surprisingly affordable alternative to taking the traditional stainless route.
|Install a central vacuum system. Another option available to KB Home homebuyers is a central vacuum system, a particularly desirable choice if their new home is multi-level. Homes can be piped for easy vacuuming in any room of the home, with every bit of pet hair, dust and crumbs ending up in an easy-to-clean canister in the garage. Kickplate inlets in the kitchen make it easy to sweep away mealtime messes and hose outlets in every room of the house mean no more lugging a vacuum up a flight of stairs.
|Pick an integrated sink. Remember the tip about quartz countertops? Install these in your bathrooms and the sink can be integrated directly into it. Say bye-bye to grout and nasty buildup in that crevice between the sink and your vanity's mirror or backsplash. Clean-up is a breeze when it's all one piece! The next best thing? An undermount sink. And in the kitchen, make soaking dishes extra easy with an extra-deep farmhouse style sink to really simplify your life.

Has anyone packed their overnight bag yet? I started too and noticed I am finding alot of conflict in the lists I have seen.
Corbin EDD 2-6-10
I have not packed mine yet but I can tell you from experience (this is my second pregnancy to term):
You'll be wearing a gown until you leave, so bring only what you want to wear home (maternity clothing... you'll still have a little belly).
Your baby will wear the hospital outfit the whole time they are there, so one outfit for the drive home (maybe two incase he/she poops all over the first one or something). The hospital has diapers for the baby until you are leaving but bring a few newborn diapers just in case.
My list:
Before birth:
-Lip gloss, waterproof mascara (to look "fresh" in pictures)
-camera with plenty of memory/film
-a few funny movies, good music, or puzzles to keep you busy during labor
After Labor:
-Nursing bra (if you plan to nurse) and nursing pads in case your milk comes early
-A couple pairs of underwear for mommy
-Some heavy pads for mommy (you'll bleed a lot)
-Change of maternity/loose clothes for ride home (if you tear and need stitches down there, you will wish you had loose clothing)
-toothbrush, toothpaste
-Outfit for baby's ride home
-a few diapers and allergen/perfume free wipes
-swaddling blankies (2)
Don't pack too much. People will bring gifts and you don't want to have a bunch of things to carry out with baby when you are leaving. You'll just want to get the heck out of there when it is all said and done (the hospital beds can be very very very uncomfortable).
k, I had to be hospitalized with ecoli poisoning while I've been pregnant and I'd wished I'd packed my labor/delivery bag! This is what I'd wished i'd had with me(in addition to Rasa4JC):
Hair ties, head band, Hair brush, prenatals, face wash cloths(the kind you take camping) Lotions for massage from the hubby, lots of panties, long sox, slippers, chapstick, deodorent, a razor, robe, MY GOOD shampoo and my lap top!
And YES bring your own pillow, it's a comfort thing I noticed :]

St. Patrick's Athletic 1 - 0 Sligo Rovers
Published: April 23, 2010
The title charge from Pete Mahon's St.Patrick's Athletic is gathering real momentum just now and an impressive 1-0 victory over Sligo Rovers at Richmond Park on Friday night courtesy of David McAllister wonder goal will do nothing to dampen expectations around Inchicore.
The visitors made most of the early running, playing a very neat passing game, with each and every action typically being orchestrated by the hands-on guidance of manager Paul Cooke.
Though, in spite of Sligo's impressive start, it was in fact they who required a last ditch intervention from Mauro Almeida who, at full stretch, managed to nick a Ryan Guy cross from the forehead of Paul Byrne as the striker stood ready to nod home on seven.
Returning anti-hero Joseph Ndo was given something of a free-role by Cooke and with the Saints' defenders not knowing whether to pick him up or hold their position, Ndo strode unopposed into the penalty area at the shed end of the ground but his 15th minute shot was too high to trouble Gary Rogers.
Pat's target man Vinny Faherty grew impressively into the game as the half wore on and his unselfish nature saw the ex- Galway man create chances for firstly, McAllister who was denied by a brilliant Richard Brush save on 20.
Then, with the half-time whistle approaching, Faherty played provider for both Byrne and Guy, though their efforts lacked the sufficient power or direction to unduly bother Brush who routinely gathered on both occasions and the teams went in at the break scoreless.
The game was far from a classic but as is so often the case on such occasions, a moment of magic can illuminate even the dimmest of encounters and knowing his side had to win to consolidate their position at the top of the division McAllister took centre stage on 56.
Fed by Byrne, the winger stepped infield and from all of 25 yards bent the sweetest of strikes over Brush with a left footed effort that sent the Richmond Park faithful into hysterics.
From that moment on, the Bit 'o' Red went in search of an equaliser but unfortunately for them penetrating the Saints' rear guard is far from an easy thing to do these days and long-range efforts from Ndo on 72 and Richie Ryan eight minutes later were as close as they came in an open play.
Although Gavin Peers may well feel he should have done better from a Ryan corner, moments after McAllister had broken the deadlock, in what turned out to be the visitor's best chance of the night.

Asian convenience stores boom
24 June 2013
NEW DELHI: Modern convenience store outlets are gaining in popularity across Asia with 7-Eleven in the forefront of the process, a new report has said.
The study,
Asian Convenience Store Market Outlook 2015
from research business RNCOS, estimated that total Asian retail sales would grow at a CAGR of around 12% during the period 2013-2015.
It noted that modern retail formats were becoming increasingly widespread as people's preferences changed with growing incomes and busy lives meant a desire for one-stop shopping was common.
In addition, franchising agreements and collaborations had accelerated the process of expanding the convenience store sector across the region. Businesses had also made significant investments to increase the range of products and services offered at stores in order to attract more customers and gain market share.
The report named 7-Eleven as a dominant player in the Asian convenience store industry, an assessment reinforced by several recent announcements by various franchisees.
Thus, in Indonesia, retail firm
PT Modern International plans
to open 100 more 7-Eleven outlets in Jakarta, where it is aiming for a 30% increase in revenues.
In China,
300 new stores are planned
in Chongqing alone, where a joint venture between Mitsui & Co Ltd, Southern Hope Industrial and Seven-Eleven Investment Co Ltd, expects a growth in demand as the 30m-population city undergoes significant economic development.
And in the Philippines, another
200 store openings are planned
for this year by Philippine Seven Corp (PSC). to bring the total to 1,000. Jose Pardo of PSC expected that number to rise substantially "when the sari-sari stores are closed".
Growth for 7-Eleven in the Japanese market is more dependent on customer focus. That has meant, noted Ryuichi Isaka, president and CEO, 7-Eleven Japan,
taking on food preparation
for time-poor households and offering bill payments and banking services in store.
Franchisees there have also adopted home delivery systems, a major growth area given Japan's ageing population.

François Roland Truffaut (6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic, as well as one of the founders of the French New Wave. In a film career lasting over a quarter of a century, he remains an icon of the French film industry, having worked on over 25 films. Truffaut's film The 400 Blows came to be a defining film of the French New Wave movement. He also directed such classics as Shoot the Piano Player (1960), Jules et Jim (1961), The Wild Child (1970), Two English Girls (1971), Day for Night (1973) and The Woman Next Door (1981).

Wine bottles with 3-D labels won a Bronze award in the 2014 World Beverage Competition's packaging division for The Vibrant Vine Chardonnay Bottle with 3-D Label and 3-D Glasses bottles. The specialty labels provided a new perspective for Okanagan Villa Estate Winery's Vibrant Vine wine. TricorBraun WinePak sourced the bottle which won the Bronze medal.
Members of Trip Advisor, the world's largest travel site, voted Okanagan Villa Estate Winery and the Vibrant Vine Tasting Room the best winery experience in British Columbia.
Varieties of wine sporting the new labels are: Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurztraminer. The winery's most popular seller is a blend of all the grapes produced on the estate. By happenstance a handful of the 3-D labels, all of which are put on by hand, were applied upside-down to the bottles containing the blend. The bottles with the inverted labels had a look that appealed to the winery's owner, Wyn Lewis, who named the blend OOPS! and is marketing the bottles with upside down labels.
The Vibrant Vine Gewurztraminer Bottle with 3-D Label and 3-D GlassesThe 750 ML, tall hock bottles provided by TricorBraun WinePak are antique green with flat bottom finishes and use Stelvin closures.
The Vintage Vine labels were designed by Phil Lewis, a Colorado-based commercial artist.
TricorBraun WinePak, with annual sales in excess of $120 million, is North America's largest supplier of wine packaging. The firm has offices in Northern and Southern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. It has been serving the wine industry since 1982. The company's facilities include a $2 million repacking system that automatically transfers wine bottles from eight-foot high stacks of pallets to individual wineries' custom, 12-bottle cartons.
The World Beverage Competition is an annual event which includes an evaluation of beverage quality in various categories followed by a competition among beverage packages, also from an assortment of categories. Judging is based upon quality and innovation.

The pure act of replacing the sun and nutrients that are required when practicing hydroponics, requires some sort of grow system. Differing to a grow kit, this revolves around the basics to circulate and populate the required elements. Green Spirit grow systems are super value, some are cheap, but all are quality. After purchasing a grow system you'll need plenty of growing media, aka growing soil.
The NFT grow system is one of the oldest and is the commonly thought of hydroponic growing system. They are designed so that the roots have a constant flow of nutrient solution and water, but in a small amount. The nutrient solution is pumped into the growing tray, in a thin flow to control the amount of water given to the plants, and the roots of the plants gently touch the water and are constantly submerged. The water then drains off the growing tray, and into the tank where it is aerated again and pumped back up. As there is no growing medium other than air, this can be a very cheap hydroponic growing system.
Growing systems are part art, part science as far as Green Spirit is concerned. That's why we respect your choice to make your own design of growing system without restricting you to specific kits. We offer a large collection of different parts for hydroponic growing systems and they are all important regardless if you are working with hydroponics for growing plants using a system, or simply watering the plants by hand when necessary. The DIY section of light growing kits can also be useful to buy one or two specific parts for something that needs replacing.

DALLAS -- You may think Andy Reid's decision to promote offensive line coach Juan Castillo to defensive coordinator is crazy. But Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo doesn't.
Spagnuolo, who spent eight years on Reid's staff as a defensive assistant under Jim Johnson before becoming the defensive coordinator with the Giants, applauded the decision.
"I thought it was a great move by Andy,'' Spagnuolo said. "The thing about Andy, Andy's a football junkie. Juan's a football junkie. Andy recognizes that he's a good football coach."
"Juan knows football. Anytime I was around Juan for the 8 years that I was there, he didn't just talk offensive line football. He was always talking football in general. We had a lot of conversations late into the night that made both of us better. I think he'll do a good job."

Usually grandmas and aunts help make the cookies, but we both come from fairly small families so we are going to have our caterer do the cookies and pastries. They look so yummy, it makes me think "Who needs dinner, let's just do a dessert reception."

When you routinely report about Israel and Gaza through the eyes of Israelis, the results can be awkward, like today's New York Times front-pager that frames what was a human catastrophe for many Palestinians–the killing by Israel of some 40 Gazans at a U.N. school–into a mere military and PR "pitfall" for Israelis. As the headline read, "For Israel, Lessons from 2006, but Old Pitfalls." In the third paragraph of the story, reporter Steven Erlanger mentions the killings along with other earlier "pitfalls": And then there are the sudden events that can throw off so many careful calculations and come […]
Israeli Pitfalls, Palestinian Lives
In Gaza, Krauthammer Finds 'Moral Clarity' Where Amnesty Finds Potential War Crimes
The Associated Press reported on December 27 that "thousands of Gazans received Arabic-language cell-phone messages from the Israeli military, urging them to leave homes where militants might have stashed weapons." In his latest column (1/2/09), Charles Krauthammer pointed to that report to prove just how obvious it is that Israel is the moral actor in this battle of good and evil: Some geopolitical conflicts are morally complicated. The Israel/Gaza war is not. It possesses a moral clarity not only rare but excruciating. Israel is so scrupulous about civilian life that, risking the element of surprise, it contacts enemy noncombatants in […]

Windows 8 (not RT) is open to you adding apps that share your media if the stock ones don't.
However the Windows Phone 8 as I see it is not so open.
So this means you might want to look at various music/media servers on the PC such as XBMC which I see is out on the Microsoft Store. I don't use that but it's a start.
Xbox Music and Nokia Music both do not collect all of my music in my music folder. I cannot stream all of my music from my PC to other devices except for the hit or miss music Win 8 decides to make available. Unless I pay $9.99 a month.
Does anyone know of a way to stream music on my PC to my Win 8 Phone for free?

Dietary supplements
By the end of April, FDA must set a "reasonable deadline" for publishing a final rule on proposed health claims for dietary supplement labels, ruled a U.S.
District Court judge. The Nutritional Health Alliance and others filed suit charging that the agency had dragged its feet on a ruling and had not set a deadline for publishing such a rule. FDA argued it is committed to issuing rules on health claims petitions as quickly as possible given the scope of the issue and the limitations of the agency's resources.

Thorns beat Reign 2-1 in home opener
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Alex Morgan and Marian Dougherty each scored a goal to lead the Portland Thorns to a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Reign on Sunday.
The Thorns (1-0-1) got the first win in franchise history and drew 16,479 to Jeld-Wen Field _ a record for the National Women's Soccer League in its debut season.
Portland dominated throughout, outshooting Seattle 12-5.
The Thorns have two Olympic star forwards in Morgan and Canada's Christine Sinclair. That duo teamed up on the second goal 7 minutes into the second half.
Seattle (0-1-1) was without most of its marquee players. Goalie Hope Solo is out until late summer with a wrist injury, while midfielder Megan Rapinoe is currently playing in France and won't be available to the Reign until June.
The Thorns' home-opening crowd was more than double the NWSL's previous high of 6,784. Through six league matches, the average attendance is 5,737 per game.
Among those in attendance were the Rose City Riveters, the women's fan counter to the Major League Soccer's Timbers Army. The red-and-white clad Riveters aren't quite as large or loud as the Army, but prominent nonetheless. The Riveters had a large banner below their sections that says "City of Thorns," a play on the Portland's moniker of City of Roses.
At times, the Riveters turned their wrath at Seattle's Jessica Fishlock. The midfielder from Wales pounded her chest after scoring a goal during the 74th minute, then later mockingly waved to the Riveters after drawing a yellow card.
Portland had several scoring chances during the first half, and finally broke through seconds before halftime on a set play. Nikki Washington lobbed a ball into the penalty box to Dougherty, whose 10-yard header landed into the left corner of the goal.
Perhaps the game's loudest cheer came during the 52nd minute, when Sinclair passed to a wide-open Morgan, who then finished with an eight-yard shot to the right corner to give the Thorns a 2-0 lead.
Portland became the first NWSL team to score at least two goals in a game. The combined three goals were the most scored in a NWSL game this season.

Bugs: Update Required for Firefox & Co.
The Mozilla project has released an updated version of its Firefox browser to close various vulnerabilities.
Some problems also affect the Thunderbird mail program. The Seamonkey browser/mailer is also affected. Firefox and Thunderbird 22.214.171.124 solve the issues, as does version 1.1.9 of Seamonkey.
No less than six vulnerabilities have been discovered in the browser. Some of them are exploitable by cross-site scripting while others may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. The problems occur on Windows and partly on Linux. Mozilla has published a summary of the issues resolved by Version 126.96.36.199 in its advisories.

7. Going back to where you were in Step 4 in the Firefox browser (Drop down menu), you can now choose "Use other..." then select "Browse..." in the next window.
8. You will now want to navigate to the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\CBS Interactive\CNET TechTracker

I login in and click on Download, Instantly, Firefox starts opening infinite amount of tabs which pretty much freezes Firefox. The tabs do not STOP. It just keeps opening tab after tab until I force Firefox close through Windows Task Manager. When I log off from CNET Download webpage and click on CNET.com and then click on Download section, The files downloads normally without a hitch. Which tells me, That TechTracker is causing some sort of incompatibility with Firefox.

Apple says Samsung "slavishly" copied the iPhone and iPad in its Galaxy line of mobile phones and tablet, and the courts agree that its claim has merit. And the so-called Rockstar consortium, made up of Microsoft, Apple, Sony and others, is suing Google over patents.
But then there's MapR, the company that develops and sells Apache Hadoop-derived software; a representative sent me an email yesterday. It states:
There has been a lot of attention lately given to enterprise data hubs or data lakes. Some vendors have suggested that their views are novel and first-to-market. Yet, MapR and others have been talking about enterprise data hub requirements for many months."
It seems like the next line should be "That's not fair." Or "That's not right."
Sticks and Stones
Who are these "some" vendors that MapR is referring to? We asked Jack Norris, the company's chief marketing officer (CMO) this question, but he deflected it insisting that the spotlight be on the criteria that a "true" enterprise data hub requires -- long term storage, high availability, data protection, full backup, full disaster recovery and so on…
Needless to say, these are features that MapR claims to have built into its Hadoop-based offerings. But does that mean it stands alone in providing them?
We decided to leave that question for later and to again ask Norris who specifically MapR referred to in the email where it stated, "Some vendors have suggested that their views are novel and first to market."
Plenty of Room in the Data Hub Sandbox
A Google search for "Enterprise Data Hub" points primarily to one vendor -- Cloudera. Yet Cloudera doesn't seem to claim that the term belongs only to it or that its definition of "Enterprise Data Hub" is the same as everyone else's.
In fact, at Strata + Hadoop World last month, speaking specifically about data lakes and data hubs, Cloudera founder Mike Olson said that, "This (Enterprise Data Hub) meme is much in the industry right now."
He then went on to explain that Cloudera's vision for the data hub is that it takes in diverse data, processes it, and serves it up to a variety of downstream systems. In other words, Cloudera has moved beyond seeing Hadoop as a digital sandbox for data scientists, to something that allows its customers to bring more diverse workloads to their data, beyond just MapReduce.
Matt Brandwein, director of product marketing at Cloudera, explains that it's with this in mind that Cloudera (long ago) included HBase in its distribution, launched native interactive SQL for Hadoop with Cloudera Impala, provided integrated Search for Hadoop, and so on. He also says that Cloudera was first to market with these features.
