Dancing Warrior: A Humble Yoga Sequence Teaches Strength
No matter what
No matter where
It's always home
If love is there.
I grew up with this quote hanging on our kitchen wall. As a little girl, I admired the fine needlework (yes, I grew up in Kansas) rather than the actual message embedded in the thread. As I've grown in life and with my yoga practice, I've come to fully understand the power behind this simple message. Home and comfort reside in the small things, and love is magically woven into every crevice of our lives when we learn to let go of the story we're telling ourselves and open our eyes.

How to Find Your Ideal Weight
Yup, you read that right. According to research from Penn State, eating bigger portions of food will help you feel fuller longer. The catch: You want to fill up on healthier stuff, like fruits and veggies. So a massive salad is good; Massive bag of chips is...not so good.
A survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that women who read food labels have a lower BMI than those who don'tand the difference ends up being about eight pounds.

TUNIS, Tunisia (WOMENSENEWS)--Sihem Badi, Tunisia's minister of women's affairs, admits there's something wrong, at this date, in talking about the country's first public shelter for victims of domestic violence.
"We're late," she says. "Look at Morocco. They have tens of shelters for women. Here it's the civil society who used to deal with victims and it's the first time the state is taking over this problem."
From its 1957 law granting women the right to divorce to its legalization of contraception and abortion in the 1960s, Tunisia has long served as a beacon of women's progress in North Africa.
But when it comes to domestic violence the country's shining reputation is missing polish.
Resistance to confronting the problem is deeply rooted in Tunisian culture, says Badi, whose hold on her post could change as the government, which has been undergoing turmoil, restructures. "Some people," the minister says, "are afraid to see women gain autonomy; they fear it's going to break families."
The shelter opened in December 2012 on a large grassy plot on the outskirts of the capital city of Tunis, about 12 miles away. Inside there is brand new furniture, a nursery and computer room.
It can accommodate 50 women and their children and offers legal and psychological assistance.
"If their lives are in danger, if they can't stay with their husbands anymore, those women need help to reconstruct themselves, to learn how to become autonomous," says Badi, who was appointed by the post-revolutionary transitional government in 2011, about a year after the revolution began.
Her ministry started this project as a partnership between the government, which owns the building, and UN Women, based in New York, which provided funding.
Violence Common
About 47 percent of Tunisian women aged 18 to 64 have been the victim of violence (ranging from harassment to physical violence) at least once in their lifetime, according to the last survey by the National Office of Family and Population, published in late 2010. In most cases, the survey says, assaults occur in a domestic setting.
Rabia Mekki, a project manager at the Ministry of Women's Affairs, coordinated this new shelter, which houses women. She says neighbors objected to the plans.
"When the neighbors learnt there would be such a shelter close to their houses, some were really reluctant," Mekki says. "They figured the center would welcome women with bad reputations [prostitutes], or former prisoners."
Mekki is now coordinating a second related center in Tunis, which doesn't house women but provides advice via a phone hotline. The green phone line is also being set up by the Ministry of Women's Affairs and will allow victims to get advice from specialists. If necessary, they'll be sent to the new shelter.
So far, the shelter is still empty. Its location was supposed to remain secret, to protect victims, but images of the site were broadcast on several Tunisian TV channels the day of its inauguration.
"It's a first step but I hope it won't be just a facade," says Dorra Mahfoudh, a sociologist now retired from the University of Tunis and the former president of the Tunisian Women's Association for Research and Development in Tunis.
"This one [the shelter] is far from Tunis, it requires heavy logistics to reach it," adds Mahfouz. "There is a risk that no one will go there. We need several, in different areas, in the South, where the rate of violence against women is higher." The new shelter is about 12 miles from Tunis.
Changing Mentalities
Mahfouz hopes the shelters will be accompanied by prevention campaigns to raise public awareness and "to change mentalities."
Until now, the only help for victims came from independent advocacy associations, such as the Tunis-based Tunisian Association of Democratic Women. Authorized under the deposed president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the group created its own center dedicated to women in 1993. It provides listening, orientation and free legal assistance, but no housing.
"It's a big deal, we only offer a temporary solution," says Ayet Ouetani, a psychologist who coordinates the group's anti-violence efforts. "At first we started hosting some victims in our own houses or putting them up in hotels when they were really threatened but it's too complicated. Sometimes we've been constrained to send them to shelters dedicated to tramps and beggars."
Ouetani says her group held back from creating shelters because it wanted the government to take responsibility in that area.
A pilot national center was created in the late 1990s, the first of its kind, but it closed soon after, apparently due to administrative difficulties.
The national strategy around that time, led by the former regime around 2000, in favor of women, didn't help much. Minister Badi says the regime didn't act in the area of domestic violence because it wanted to hide the country's reality, so that Tunisia would continue to be held as an example of women's progress in the region.

SANTA CLARA -- Both Jim Harbaugh and 49ers CEO Jed York disputed a report Friday that the team considered trading Harbaugh to the Cleveland Browns for multiple draft picks before opting against the blockbuster move.
Harbaugh, in an exclusive phone interview Friday night, echoed York's Twitter-issued statement and said ProFootballTalk.com's report "isn't true."
Harbaugh declined to elaborate on if he indeed nixed the reported deal. In an earlier text message to this newspaper, he stated: "I know nothing about a trade with the Cleveland Browns and us involving me."
ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio cited "multiple league sources" in reporting that a trade of Harbaugh's rights to the Browns was "in place" until "Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers."
Harbaugh is spending this week in Indianapolis for the scouting combine. After interviewing draft prospects Friday night, Harbaugh returned a phone call and said: "All is well."
The Browns did not deny any courting of Harbaugh.
"The team conducted an extensive coaching search, and explored several options," Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert said in an emailed statement. "That search produced an outstanding head coach in Mike Pettine and we're excited about his future with the club."
Pettine was hired Jan. 23 by the Browns, who on Feb. 11 announced the departures of CEO Joe Banner and general manager Mike Lombardi. Harbaugh and Lombardi have long ties dating to when both were with the Raiders in 2002-03; Lombardi's son Mick was an assistant to Harbaugh last season.
Harbaugh has two years remaining on a five-year, $25 million deal he signed upon leaving Stanford in January 2011. York publicly expressed a desire last season to extend Harbaugh's contract, and negotiations have been expected to take place this offseason.
Harbaugh has maintained a policy of not talking about his contract. He's the first coach in the Super Bowl era to lead a team to a conference championship game in his first three seasons, advancing to the Super Bowl in the 2012 season before losing to a Baltimore Ravens team coached by his brother, John.
Tension between Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke was reported last season by Bay Area News Group columnist Tim Kawakami.
Baalke and Harbaugh have insisted that they're in lock step on the 49ers' goals. Asked Friday at the scouting combine how Harbaugh's role has changed regarding personnel, Baalke replied: "We've always worked hard together to identify the players at every position that fit our system ... and fit the DNA of the type of players you're looking for.
"There's been no change. We continue to work hard at it. What we're trying to do is get it right for the 49ers. The best way to get it right is for everybody to be on the same page and work hard together and make the best decisions for the organization as a whole from that standpoint."
Harbaugh, 50, is a Toledo, Ohio, native. He played at Palo Alto High before moving on to the University of Michigan and then a 15-year NFL career as a quarterback. He joined the NFL coaching ranks with the Raiders in 2002-03 before becoming a head coach, first at the University of San Diego from 2004-06 and then Stanford from 2007-10.

Rey plays Don Lope, a mephistophelean, anti-clerical socialist and outmoded master of social graces, who seduces his innocent and beautiful young ward Tristana (Deneuve), becoming her lover/father figure. She eventually leaves him for a handsome young artist (played by Italian heartthrob Franco Nero), but returns in the end for revenge, having changed from naïve waif to hardened cynic. For many years the film only existed in sadly-faded prints; now digitally restored, it can be seen in its full glory.

Wilby claims city football jamboree
WATERBURY — Wilby's athletic backfield of Jacob Thomas and Darrien Bell impressed an estimated 1,000 spectators Friday night at Municipal Stadium as the Wildcats took the city jamboree title with wins over Crosby and Kennedy.
Thomas ran for more than 100 yards and Bell scored the title-winning touchdown with about five minutes remaining against the Eagles.
First quarter: Wilby's first two plays from scrimmage resulted in touchdowns of 59 and 96 yards en route to a 19-16 victory over Crosby.
The Wildcats scored three times on just eight plays in the quarter. Thomas, who carried three times for 81 yards in the period, took the night's opening handoff and darted 59 yards down the middle of the field for a 6-0 lead.
On the next series, Bell, the Wildcats' new quarterback, scrambled to the right sideline and jetted 96 yards to the end zone. His score made it 12-0 less than three minutes into the quarter.
The Wildcats hung on for the victory despite a pair of Crosby touchdowns runs by quarterback Myles Goulbourne and running back Chris Herrera. Herrera ran seven times for 33 yards while Goulbourne picked up 39 yards on five carries.
Second quarter: Kennedy's two-headed rushing attack of Ty'zhon Young and Dashaun Abdul-Lateef carved up Sacred Heart's defense in a 14-0 win.
Young took all seven handoffs from quarterback Larry Lock on the first drive and picked up 42 yards to put the Eagles in the end zone.
He barreled in from 1 yard out to give Kennedy an 8-0 lead.
Later in the quarter, Abdul-Lateef's 43-yard run set up a 17-yard score by Young to make it 14-0.
Young led the Eagles with 90 yards on 11 carries. Tom Carissimi completed four of 10 passes for 52 yards to lead the Hearts.
Third quarter: Goulbourne
See JAMBOREE, Page 7B
powered his Bulldogs offense to a pair of touchdowns and a 12-0 win over Sacred Heart in the consolation period.
Taking advantage of plus field position on its first drive, Crosby only needed two plays to score. Goulbourne's 28-yard run set up Herrera's 5-yard touchdowns scamper for a 6-0 advantage.
Later in the quarter, Goulbourne fired a 28-yard touchdown pass on a fly pattern to Jason Morrison to make it a 12-0 score. Goulbourne completed nine of 20 passes on the night for 58 yards.
Joel Guzman ran three times for 29 yards to lead Sacred Heart.
Fourth quarter: Bell's 25-yard touchdown run with 5:03 remaining gave Wilby an 8-0 lead, and the Wildcats survived a late blunder to beat Kennedy, 8-6, and take the jamboree title.
Bell kept the ball on an option run and blew through the Eagles defense for Wilby's lone score. Thomas added the two-point conversion run to make it 8-0.
Wilby had the chance to run out the clock with less than 2 minutes to play, but an ill-advised pitch resulted in a fumble recovered by Kennedy with 50 seconds left. Two plays later, Lock floated a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jake D'Alusio, but the Wildcats stopped Young on the two-point conversion run to take the win.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|The specific historiograp... >
|Findings in relation to t... >>
Irving the historian
13.7 My assessment is that, as a military historian, Irving has much to commend him. For his works of military history Irving has undertaken thorough and painstaking research into the archives. He has discovered and disclosed to historians and others many documents which, but for his efforts, might have remained unnoticed for years. It was plain from the way in which he conducted his case and dealt with a sustained and penetrating cross-examination that his knowledge of World War 2 is unparalleled. His mastery of the detail of the historical documents is remarkable. He is beyond question able and intelligent. He was invariably quick to spot the significance of documents which he had not previously seen. Moreover he writes his military history in a clear and vivid style. I accept the favourable assessment by Professor Watt and Sir John Keegan of the calibre of Irving's military history (mentioned in paragraph 3.4 above) and reject as too sweeping the negative assessment of Evans (quoted in paragraph 3.5).
13.8 But the questions to which this action has given rise do not relate to the quality of Irving's military history but rather to the manner in which he has written about the attitude adopted by Hitler towards the Jews and in particular his responsibility for the fate which befell them under the Nazi regime.

When it comes to decoys, duck hunters fall into two categories: those who enjoy repairing and repainting decoys, and those who simply buy new ones to replace the shabby or sinking decoys in their rig at the end of the season. Whichever camp you fall into, now is the time to get your decoys in working order.
If you're in the "buy new" category, place your order as early as possible; the big catalog companies sometimes sell out of decoys quickly and have trouble getting more in stock.
Hunters who repair and repaint plastic decoys should first remove weathered paint with a stiff brush. Then seal any pellet holes with epoxy, and paint the decoy with a good primer. Herter's sells decoy paint kits for most species, and Wing Supply offers Parker decoy paints, an old favorite of many waterfowlers.
In addition, be sure to inspect your existing rig for dry-rotted or frayed anchor lines. With new decoys, buy top quality decoy cord and take care in tying your knots. Some hunters prefer tying the cord to large snap swivels and then attaching them to the keel and anchor. With plastic decoy lines such as Tanglefree, tie to the keel using a tight double overhand knot, or try the company's special plastic clips designed for this use.

Hard to imagine that same yellow dog sprawled on your kitchen floor was just months ago an awesome force in the duck marsh. He will be this season, too, with just a little summertime work.
A primary concern should be getting your pup in peak physical condition. Long walks and lots of water retrieves will help keep him toned up through the summer. Water work not only serves as excellent exercise, but also keeps your dog enthusiastic about retrieving.
During hot weather, land drills are best done late in the evening. If you are working a trained, experienced retriever, focus on drills that reinforce steadying, lining, hand signals, and multiple retrieves. Try to build up the time you spend on land drills gradually; too much at once can dampen a dog's fervor for his work. Just 30 minutes of drills every evening are enough to put most retrievers back on the road to glory.
In many states, September seasons for doves, teal, and resident Canada geese offer great early opportunities for your retriever to get back in action. Summer temperatures often prevail well into September, so remember to take plenty of fresh water afield for your dog, and to allow him to cool off in the water or shade occasionally.

High Treason! An Israeli imprisoned for trying to become Palestinian
A 23-year-old Israeli activist and 'rebel' has been jailed for attempting to become a Palestinian citizen.
Andrew Pshenichnikov, who has so far spent one week in Israeli prison, is trying to give up his Israeli citizenship in order to move to Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the West Bank.
The Israeli government is able to imprison him for this move because it is illegal for Israeli citizens to enter places in Palestine not in 'Area C'. This classification is used to describe East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank such as Eli and Ariel. The government also forbids Israelis from entering or leaving Israel on a non-Israeli passport.
Two months ago Andrew moved to the refugee camp close to Bethlehem, an area under Palestinian control. The camp, with nearly 13,000 refugees, does not fall into 'Area C' meaning Andrew's stay was technically illegal under Israeli law.
During his appearance in court, the anti-patriot Andrew stated that he doesn't recognize the Israeli government as a legitimate authority, including its judiciary and would therefore not accept any judgment that the court passes. The trial continues.
Do you think Andrew should be allowed Palestinian citizenship? Tell us what you think.

"Many proposers-to-be could use a hand in the creativity department and even if a great idea exists, pulling it off can be time consuming and difficult without help," Zweibel says. "Hiring a pro makes it easy to come up with a unique plan or to figure out how to carry out an idea that is already in place."
Through her consulting company, Perfect Proposal, she has helped many people, mostly men, craft their ultimate proposals. Her most elaborate scheme to date involved an international flight arrival, about 30 friends and family, a gigantic portable flat screen TV, and a violinist in a tuxedo. "The fact that it was elaborate wasn't what made it a tear-jerker," she says. "It was just an incredible moment of connection."
There you have it. Even with thousands of orchestrated, over-the-top marriage proposals clogging up YouTube, yours doesn't have to be elaborate or public as long as it comes from the heart. Here are Zweibel's five tips for crafting a one-of-a-kind marriage proposal. For more information, visit her website at www.perfectproposal.com.

The ring-necked pheasant ( Phasianus colchicus ) may be the most popular game bird in the state of Kansas, with between 110,000 and 150,000 hunters pursuing the species each season. Estimated annual harvests have ranged from a low of 425,000 to a high of 824,000 cocks since 1990, typically placing Kansas in the top 3 or 4 pheasant hunting states in the U.S.
Ring-necks were first introduced in Kansas with the release of 3,000 birds in 84 counties in the spring of 1906. The species adapted well to Kansas conditions and populations gradually increased in response to the excellent interspersion of grain fields with permanent habitats and to the relatively primitive agricultural practices of the time. The first pheasant season in Kansas was opened statewide from December 1st to 15th in 1917. Following a period of season closure from 1921 to 1931, limited hunting seasons on ring-necks resumed in 1932. Seasons were gradually liberalized over the next 5 decades until a stabilized season format was instituted in 1982 ( read more: A Century of Ringnecks ). The season began on the second Saturday in November and ran through January 31 with a bag limit of 4 cocks per day until 2006. In 2006, the pheasant season was opened on the first Saturday in November and ran through the end of January. The daily bag limit did not change.
The ring-necked pheasant is a polygamous species. This means that one rooster will mate with many hens, just as a buck deer can mate with many does. Kansas' cocks-only harvest regulations, and those of other pheasant states, are designed with this in mind. It has been scientifically estimated that 80 to 90% of the ring-neck roosters present in fall can be safely harvested through hunting without hindering reproduction the following spring. Ratios of pheasant cocks to hens in spring indicate that Kansas' pheasant harvest is very conservative, never remotely approaching this maximum allowable harvest. Under the cocks-only format, a reduction in season length or bag limit will do nothing to increase pheasant populations, although such requests are sometimes received from well-intentioned members of the public.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks monitors pheasant populations through the use of 4 different types of surveys. The Pheasant Crowing Survey is a listening survey conducted from April 25th to May 15th by KDWP staff along 63 permanently-assigned routes throughout the Kansas pheasant range. The Summer Brood Survey involves KDWP field staff recording all their pheasant observations between mid-July and the end of August. The Rural Mail Carriers Survey is performed 4 times a year with the invaluable assistance of 400–500 rural mail carriers stationed around the state. The Small Game Harvest Survey allows KDWP staff to estimate overall harvest of pheasant and other small game species with the help of hunters who provide their hunting results on a questionnaire following the close of the small game seasons. Each of these surveys provides rangewide and regional "indices" to annual change and long-term trends. These indices are not suitable for county-to-county comparisons by hunters seeking to maximize hunting success. Hunters should consult the annual upland bird hunting forecast, usually available in mid-September, in that regard.
Most pheasants in Kansas typically begin initiation of egg-laying in late April or early May, leading to a hatching peak that usually occurs in the first or second week of June. Some of the very earliest nests may hatch as early as late April and the latest as late as mid-August. Wheat is a very important pheasant nesting habitat in Kansas and ring-neck production, in any given year, is often linked to the quality of the wheat crop. Moisture and weather conditions that lead to strong early growth of wheat, a prolonged period of maturation, and a later-than-normal wheat harvest will usually result in good pheasant nesting success. Conversely, drought or excessively warm conditions often stunt initial wheat growth, accelerate maturation, and result in an early wheat harvest, all of which reduce pheasant production success ( read more: A Pheasant Odyssey ).
Annual fluctuations in Kansas pheasant numbers tend to be driven more by spring and summer conditions than by winter conditions. While Kansas certainly sees its share of dangerous blizzards, losses of adult pheasant during such events generally do not reach the level of magnitude as potential summer losses. Severe drought and/or exceptionally hot spring or summer conditions may result in proportionally greater pheasant production losses by reducing habitat quality and by directly stressing the birds, especially chicks. Drought can also reduce the availability and quality of cover and food during the subsequent winter. In most of Kansas' pheasant range, except possibly the northeast, above average precipitation is usually beneficial for pheasant production.
Historically, Kansas' best pheasant populations were in northwest and southwest Kansas, with northcentral Kansas also producing good populations. Long-term changes in agricultural practices have produced significant declines in pheasant numbers in far western Kansas ( read more: Legacy Lost ). In recent years, Kansas' greatest pheasant densities have occurred in a band that includes the eastern 5 tiers of counties in KDWP Region 1 and the eastern 4 to 5 tiers of counties in Region 3, excepting counties along the Oklahoma border. However, significant pheasant hot spots outside this band do sometimes occur further west in Regions 1 and 3, the westernmost counties of Region 2, and in northern or western counties of Region 4. Pheasants have never established significant populations in southeast Kansas, despite historical releases. They are absent from most of Region 5 or exist at very low densities in the northern and western tiers of counties in this region.
Brood rearing habitats (areas of broad-leaved plants such as annual weeds or perennial legumes) are generally considered most limiting for pheasants in Kansas, but better winter habitats (weed patches, shrub thickets, tall grasses) are also needed in some areas. Over the past decade, KDWP biologists and land managers have focused heavily on providing better brood cover on public lands and on finding ways to integrate quality brood cover and winter cover into cropping systems on private farmlands. KDWP staff have worked cooperatively with USDA officials to improve the quality of habitats provided through federal farm legislation, particularly through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
Great potential to intersperse permanent habitats with existing croplands exists within provisions of the Continuous Signup of the CRP ( read more: The Beauty of Buffers ). In cooperation with Kansas State University agronomy staff in western Kansas, KDWP biologists have also developed and researched a set of recommendations for wheat cropping systems in western Kansas (particularly wheat–fallow) that are beneficial to both pheasants and farm profitability ( read more: New Life for Wheat–Fallow ). Kansas landowners interested in improving pheasant habitat should contact their nearest KDWP District Wildlife Biologist.

Abraham Lincoln is still scoring big at the box office, thanks to Steven Spielberg. And even the vampire-slayer version several months ago brought forth a new appreciation of our 16th president, lifting Lincoln off the page and the penny and into modern consciousness.
Now the Walnut Creek Library will continue this momentum of presidential popularity, serving as one of 250 libraries and community centers across the country -- and the first in the Bay Area -- to host the four-year traveling exhibit "Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War."
Developed by the National Constitution Center in collaboration with the American Library Association, the display opens in Walnut Creek on Dec. 14 and runs through Feb. 8, commemorating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War and the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. It illuminates Lincoln's struggles with a polarized Congress, not unlike those of today, and explores his leadership during some of our country's most turbulent years.
The exhibit "looks at how Lincoln used the Constitution to confront three intertwined crises of the war -- the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties," said Melissa Carruth, the NCC's senior exhibits manager. "His struggle to save the Union really created the nation we have today, and this gives the visitor that context. It also asks the question: Was he a calculating politician or the great emancipator? And it really lets the viewer decide."
The original exhibit, which opened at the NCC in Philadelphia in 2005, was so successful it was revamped and condensed into the several versions now simultaneously traveling the country -- colorful panels with text and images of original photographs and documents, including a draft of Lincoln's first inaugural speech, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment.
It all arrived in 16 crates at the Walnut Creek Library on Thursday, where about 10 library workers and volunteers spent a couple of hours setting up framing and unrolling the panels, which were split into 9-foot-long sections.
"We're really excited to be hosting this," said Kristin Anderson, executive director of the Walnut Creek Library Foundation. "With the Spielberg movie recently out, this is perfect timing for us -- people are talking about Lincoln, learning more about the Constitution. He pushed the envelope, which made a lot of people unhappy at the time. This kind of thing still happens to our presidents today, so it's very relevant."
For two months the exhibit will take over the library's expansive second-floor teen section and the adjoining Fireside Room, transforming it into a mini museum -- not only with the exhibit, but also six display cases from the Walnut Creek Historical Society with clothing, books and artifacts from the period, such as a framed copy of a U.S. flag used in the 1864 presidential election.
A free opening-night celebration will feature music, a reading of the Gettysburg Address and even a Lincoln impersonator, bringing the display to life. And several special library programs are lined up for the run of the exhibit, including a talk in January by California historian Kevin Starr.
The Lincoln exhibit will return to the Bay Area twice during its tour, once at the Museum on Main in Pleasanton starting on June 12 and again at the Museum of San Ramon Valley in Danville in March 2015. The tour is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Total Navigates Ugandan License Hurdle After New Oil Discovery
Writing from Kampala, Uganda, our East Africa correspondent Nicholas Baryio looks at Total's prospects in the region.
France's Total looks assured to retain a major Ugandan oil license days after making a new discovery, a huge reward for the company's ambitious exploration program in the East African nation's fledgling oil sector.
After drilling three dry wells, the oil major struck oil in the fourth well in December, marking a significant development in its quest to retain operatorship of the highly prospective Block 1 A. It's right next to Total's other block in the region, which houses Uganda's largest oil fields such as Buffalo and Girafee.
The development guarantees Total an assured presence in the northern part of Uganda's Lake Albertine rift basin, which is also close to its 74,000-square-mile exploration block in neighboring South Sudan. With the Ugandan license secure, Total looks set to realize its long term ambition of building a regional oil pipeline export hub to transport crude from South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya to world markets via the East African coast.
Last year, Total asked the Ugandan government to allow its planned pipeline from the Lake Albertine Rift basin to the East African Coast to be extended to South Sudan. This would potentially ease the newly independent nation's headache about how to export its crude.
Both Uganda and South Sudan share the western arm of East Africa's rift valley. South Sudan's 7 billion barrels of crude reserves and Uganda's 3.5 billion barrels so far are quickly turning the region into a magnet for ambitious investors, seeking to tap unexploited crude reserves.
Officials say that Malaysia's Petronas and China's CNPC, which have operations in South Sudan are also interested in joining an oil export pipeline project to the East African coast.
South Sudan, which inherited around 75% of oil fields following their cession from Sudan, has to rely on pipelines that straddle the north. The country's crude shipments have been hampered since January last year over a litany of disputes with Sudan, ranging from oil transit fees to disputes over the precise location of their common border.
Total officials say they are looking at East Africa "in the long-term and the company is ready to stay in the region for as long as it takes".
On top of the oil resources found in South Sudan, Uganda and Kenya, their southern neighbors Tanzania and Mozambique host huge natural gas reserves with significant export potential.

"Stuffed" Rolls (Homemade Kolaches)
In every aspect, these homemade kolaches were crafted from leftovers. I used Frieda's dinner roll recipe for my Thanksgiving dinner rolls and had leftover dough balls in the freezer. The roast beef and caramelized onions were from a French dip pizza I served during the game on Saturday, and the stuffing, gravy and turkey were of course leftover from Thanksgiving.
This is not an actual recipe but more of a method, and by knowing the method, you'll be able to use whatever stuffing combination you'd like to make your own kolaches.
I made two different types this morning. Stuffing, turkey and gravy kolaches, and roast beef, caramelized onion and gruyere cheese kolaches. Imagine ones stuffed with sausage gravy or scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese. YUM!
It is important to note that your stuffing materials should be mixed well and at room temperature before stuffing the dough. Here you'll see my two different stuffing combinations.
Using your favorite bread dough recipe, make dough and let dough go through its first rise. Punch dough down, then portion dough into 2 1/2-3 ounce portions. (This is a little bigger than a golf ball.)
Using rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into about a 5" round.
Place a heaping tablespoon of filling mixture in the middle of each round.
Bring edges of dough together and pinch to seal.
Place prepared rolls, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until nicely puffed, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place rolls in oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Brush with melted butter. Serve warm.
Once kolaches have cooled, they can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated. To reheat, remove from plastic and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave for 30-45 seconds.
I have not tried freezing these, but I imagine that they would freeze nicely. Once frozen, remove from freezer as needed and let thaw (wrapped) before microwaving.

These are known as bierrocks in our part of the world. Kolaches are made with a sweet dough and some type of fruit or poppy seed filling put on top of the dough, much like a sweet roll.

Thanks for posting this recipe! I am a busy momma of three little ones 5 and under. I jumped on-line this morning looking for a simple stuffed roll recipe. Something I could throw together and keep ion the freezer to have on hand on extra busy days. You made this so simple and the possibilities are only limited by imagination : - ) I have my whole wheat dough rising in the bread maker as we "speak". I have some left over Spanish rice. I am thinking I will add a little cilantro,black beans, and cheddar cheese! Now let's just hope the kids will eat it...usually anything wrapped in bread is a pretty safe bet : - )
- May 2, 2011 at 11:04 AM
Never had one of those before but they look great. Big fan of stuffed pastries though and will be trying a slightly modified version of your recipe here. Thanks for the pictures accompanying the description.
Also, I have been wondering for quite a while how to get my comments to show up in my blogger blog like your do. If you can spare a moment could you tell me what template or modification you use which allows that.
Thank you very much. May you be well and be with GOD.
- September 8, 2011 at 2:08 AM
The recipe does look devine. I intend to try it myself asap... but I am a Czech, I was born there and lived there for 25 years till I got married and moved away and Kolace (Kolache) are ONLY fruit, poppy seed or quark/cottage cheeese filled pastries. No meat is ever involved. ;-) Maybe somebody changed the recipe in OH during the times... adapting other European influences and still calling it "kolache". But "kolac" it is not. ;-)

Martina: Thank you for the info! I think "Americanized" kolaches are something totally different and reinvented. We're just not creative enough to think up a new word! Thanks for commenting!

My husband used to eat these all the time in Russia. Today I am making your recipe as a special treat for him. He is so excited. Thank you!!!
- January 7, 2013 at 4:25 PM
Just wanted to say thanks for posting the Kolache recipes. I couldn't find any recipes for Kolaches or Klobasnek (that's what they call them with meat filling.) These worked out great!
- April 15, 2013 at 7:39 PM
These things are so good you can put anything in them. I got turned on to these rolls by a friend allergic to beef. So his wife used lambs heart minced and made something with rice. Delicious stuff. Now I want to make my own because I haven't had one in 20 years.

U can use the frozen dinner rolls from the store's freezer to make these.
- April 5, 2014 at 5:33 PM
This is something my German grandma use to make. I loved these as a kid and have been making them for the last 20 years. As a filling she would use ground beef and cabbage. Over the years I have used a lot of different fillings but always go back to grandma's recipe. I guess its true grandma knows best. To cut prep time I have found that frozen dinner roll dough from the store works well to. I usually make a big batch on a weekend and put them in the freezer for a quick meal or snack. This is a real kid pleaser which is a big plus.

On a farm site just a few miles from Redwood Falls a family has created a setting through which they are able to share their passions for the cowboy way of life but, more importantly, for the way of the follower of Christ.
Ron and Cheryl Rathbun have created the cowboy church camp on a site in the Minnesota River Valley, and this weekend they are having an event there.
This is the third annual cowboy church camp, and activities begin Friday night with a campfire and sing-along. Those planning to attend can set up their camps any time after 3 p.m.
Saturday starts with breakfast at 8 a.m., with horseback riding for the kids after breakfast. Hiking or a wagon ride to the bluff follow at 11:30 a.m.
An adults only horseback trail ride starts at 1 p.m. There are also games and crafts available during the day.
A pot luck supper is set to start at 5 p.m.
Those planning to attend are asked to bring a dish to share.
According to Cheryl Rathbun, the highlight of the night is a country/gospel performance by Greg Hager.
Hager has been playing, singing and writing music since he was seven. He has been named the western artist of the year by the Academy of Western Artists. His performances include "stories about love, life, living and faith."
The farm is located at 24681 County Road 15 (the river bottom road) near the Schwandt Memorial.
All are invited to attend this year's event. Free will donations are being accepted to help support this event now and in the future.

Tone Up While You Watch TV
Carboholism. I can assure you, it is a very real affliction. Exhibit A: Once, in the middle of a blizzard, I had such an intense need for chocolate-covered pretzels that I ran out into the stormno coat, in flip-flopsand wandered around the deserted streets of New York until I got my fix.
Clearly, I have a problem, and it's not just a lack of willpower. A growing body of research suggests that not only do refined carbs--like pasta, cake, croissants, and white rice--cause us to gain weight (by driving the body to store excess sugar as fat), but that for some people, they're also addictive. "Processed carbs and simple sugars are devoid of nutrients, fat, fiber, and protein--all the things that take a while to digest and provide lasting satiety," says Andrew Lawson, MD, coauthor of Clean Cuisine. "They give you a brief feel-good rush, and when it's over, you want more."
So when I heard Dr. Mehmet Oz float a new theory that sex can curb a carb craving, I was all ears. The (admittedly not very scientific) idea is this: The rush you get from refined carbs comes when they trigger the release of the feel-good hormone serotonin in your brain. But sexual arousal emits a powerful happiness hormone of its own: oxytocin. So it follows from Dr. Oz's theory that when you crave the comfort of some cheesecake, why not reach for a condom instead?
"Theoretically, this could work," agrees Dr. Lawson, albeit cautiously. For five days, I vowed that any time I had an intense carb craving, I would do something sexual in an effort to offset it. Here's how I fared.
Despite a protein-rich breakfast of eggs and a few slices of turkey bacon, I arrive at work with a powerful craving for something starchy and sweet. (The morning just doesn't feel complete without a little sugar.) I watch a clip of True Blood from season two, back when Eric's hotness hadn't yet been compromised by that stupid amnesia plotline. The sexual tension between him and Sookie is so strong, it makes me giggle. "Whatcha doing over there?" my cubemate asks. I shush her then realize I don't want to put my face into a box of doughnuts anymore. Victory is mine.

The topic of biomass is heating up around Eagle County these days.
Last week the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced approval of a $40 million loan guarantee to Eagle Valley Clean Energy LLC to finance a renewable generating plant in Gypsum. The plant will utilize wood chips for fuel and will have a capacity of 11.5 megawatts, enough to power nearly 10,000 homes. The grant is part of the USDA's Rural Development initiative.
"We're pleased to confirm receipt of a loan guarantee commitment in the amount of $40 million from the Rural Utilities Service," said Dean Rostrom, a principal of EVCE. "The loan guarantee will be used to support long-term financing of the power plant, which would come into effect following completion of construction. This is an important piece in the overall effort to piece together the financing for the project and to complete the necessary milestones."
On Oct. 2, Eagle County Commissioners formalized a deal to donate wood waste at the landfill to the biomass plant.
"This is a mutually beneficial arrangement," said Ken Whitehead, director of Eagle County Solid Waste and Recycling. "We will save about $15,000 per year in what we normally pay to have wood waste mulched."
The primary resource for the biomass power plant, however, would be "junk wood" that is collected and chipped in the forest before being hauled to the plant to be burned for electricity generation.
"We would not be harvesting healthy wood or competing with logging," Rostrom said last spring.
A biomass plant burns biological material to produce electricity. That is most commonly done by heating water with the burning material to produce steam, which turns a turbine that produces electricity, a process referred to as direct combustion. Biomass plants are most prevalent along the Pacific coast and, assuming it is built, Gypsum's will be the first commercial grade biomass power plant of its kind in Colorado.
After approving the agreement between the landfill and EVCE, Commissioner Sara Fisher brought up health and environment concerns expressed to her by some Gypsum residents.
"I would ask you to meet with Ray Merry (Director of Eagle County Health) to talk about those concerns," she told Whitehead. "I've talked about the plant as a positive thing in the past and I want to make sure I can still say it's a positive."
Merry pointed out that the county has no jurisdiction over the biomass operations.
"The state regulates emissions and the town of Gypsum approves land use," he said.
The 33,000-square-foot biomass plant will be located next to the 345,000-square-foot American Gypsum plant and will be operational around the fall of 2014. Of the 11.5 MW it will produce annually, 1.5 MW will be used to power the plant itself. The remaining 10 MW will be sold to Holy Cross Energy. A 20-year electricity sales agreement is in place.
The plant would burn about 70,000 tons of bone-dry wood chips per year. Most of the ash from the burning wood - 99.5 percent - would be filtered out of the air by multiple-cyclone and electrostatic precipitator technology. What escapes would not be visible. The collected ash - about a dump-truck load every few days - would be sold as fertilizer or sent to the landfill.
So far, the biomass plant has been mostly touted as a win-win situation for many entities. Several local jobs will be created, surrounding forest areas will benefit from fire mitigation due to wood fuels being collected and the energy is labeled "carbon neutral," meaning the fuel replenishes naturally as opposed to being mined like coal.
Some critics of the plant debate that definition of "carbon neutral," among other things such as air and water pollution. So far the most vocal opponents of the plant who live in Gypsum have declined to go on record but a website is being updated about once a month with arguments against biomass plants. The website is http://stopgypsumbiomass.wordpress.com/.
Perhaps the most immediate concern with the plant has to do with its regulation by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. It is unclear how EVCE will be officially monitored.
CDPHE Communication Director Mark Salley said he needed to confer with numerous departments within the agency before he could provide a response.

The Tax Institute
A strong tax program has been central to New England's business curriculum for many years. "Tax law is a critical component of every aspect of business law," says Professor Lustig. "All business lawyers should be conversant with basic income tax issues, because business decisions routinely incorporate tax concerns. Other areas of practice rely on a knowledge of the effect of tax law and tax policy as well."
- Addressing a full range of tax issues from both regulatory and compliance perspectives, this institute ensures that the CBL tax program remains a strong core discipline of the school.
- Current research includes a comparative study of U.S., Canadian, and European taxation of Internet transactions.
- A study of United States, European, and Canadian systems and proposals for taxation of Internet transactions, which is also examining the disclosure requirements imposed on publicly traded companies after discovery of an intrusion into corporate databases or other computerized information.
- Professor Eric A. Lustig, who co-directs the institute, served as attorney-adviser to the Hon. Lawrence A. Wright of the U.S. Tax Court in Washington, DC, before joining the CBL faculty. He has written extensively on tax policy and the "new IRS." Professor Kent Schenkel practiced for a number of years as a specialist in estate and gift tax planning, and has written articles addressing federal transfer tax issues. He teaches courses on wills and trusts, estate planning, and federal income tax. In addition to having taught at New England Law | Boston and North Carolina Central University School of Law in Durham, NC, Professor Hyman also practiced law in Greensboro, NC, representing nonprofits and small, minority-owned businesses on administrative, regulatory, and tax issues.

Last Modified: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 at 7:18 p.m.
Bayeaux DJons is a new restaurant opening in Houma Oct. 29.
Darryl Johnson, owner of four established restaurants in Baton Rouge, decided Houma would be the next best place to expand to.
"I like to go where there's a need. To bring something different to the Houma area," Johnson said.
Bayeaux DJons, located at 9892 E. Main St., offers soul food, also known as comfort food. Guests of the restaurant can enjoy dishes such as steak; fried, boiled or grilled seafood; and its specialty dish, chicken and waffles.
The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, and will feature a lunch buffet, dinner menu, happy hour and live entertainment on the weekends, as well as catering services.
"We are thrilled Darryl is coming here," said Steve Vassallo, Terrebonne Economic Development Authority CEO. "To get an established restaurant in Houma, especially on the east side, it's a huge success."
Bayeaux DJons' grand opening for the public is planned for Oct. 28.

Bit of a late reply but I had a little girl at 26+6 - it's so scary but she is just over 14 months old now and into everything, she was progressing so fast all her consultants have discharged her early.
She was in hospital 13 weeks and she was our first, we didn't even know what NNU was!!
Good Luck all and Never Give Up Hope. They are stronger than you could ever imagine.

Hi Laura,
She is very close to walking, she is just mastering her balance. If we hold her hand she walks perfect but she hasn't quite got the confidence on her own.
She will walk with her push along toys and around furniture which she has done for a while so I think it's just a matter of time now.
We are trying to reserve our energy as we are going to need it when she is walking on her own lol

That is AMAZING and just what I needed to read!
I'm 27 weeks +4 days and there is question of us being delivered early as I have a several bleeds (one lasting from 13weeks to 21 weeks).
Originally they thought it was a low lying placenta, but that has moved up, then I was found to have a lobed placnta, which has disappeared, and I've also been checked for a vasa previa (blood vessles running over the cervix), which I don't have. It's something of a mysery! Although my consultant and the staff on the ward have been fantasic and checked us for everything under the sun!
I haven't bled for a few weeks now, but the haematoma is still present on the scan. I'm being sent for extra scans (the next one is 9th may), and baby is being monitored to check he is growing well. As long as he is, and there is no more bleeding we should be allowed to get to term, but I do feel like this is hanging over my head as I know that if we start bleeding again he'll be delivered early. (I have a history of PPH, prem SROM and abruption).
Ideally I'd like to get as far along as possible. My middle son was prem (born at 34 weeks), he had no problems feeding or breathing, he was even quite big 6lb 3oz, but he has a mild motor learning difficulty and I often wonder - if he hadn't been born early, would he have still had DCD?
Anyway back to the point. Thanks for posting, you have given me a bit of inspiration.

Thanks Laura, I guess we'll know more after the scan on Monday. Right now I'm viewing each day I don't bleed as a bonus. I'm a bit worried about his growth as my fundus is a little bit low, but he was 1lb 14oz approx at 24weeks, which is above average, so fingers crossed he stays on that growth curve and doesn't tail off too much.
I'm 28wks tomorrow which I never thought we'd see when I first started bleeding, so everyday is a step in the right direction.

A major pharmaceutical quality workshop was held February 28–March 2, 2007, to highlight the US Food and Drug Administration's pharmaceutical quality initiatives and to continue forging a common vision for a scientific risk-based regulatory process. The workshop was cosponsored by FDA, the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), and the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers (ISPE). The workshop provided a forum for regulated industry, other stakeholders, and the public to comment on progress made and to assess future needs and implementation challenges since the April 2003 inaugural workshop, "A Drug Quality System for the 21st Century." The program highlighted progress on FDA's pharmaceutical quality initiatives, building upon the themes from the agency's 2004 report, "Pharmaceutical CGMPs for the 21st Century—A Risk-Based Approach." Diverse representation from industry—including the areas of quality, regulatory affairs, development, and manufacturing—and review and compliance staff from FDA engaged in an open exchange of ideas during the plenary panel discussions and 10 breakout sessions conducted over the three day workshop. Implementation challenges and overall regulatory and scientific issues and concerns were identified for topics covering: product and process development, manufacturing and quality operations, good manufacturing practices (GMP), quality systems, and quality assurance.
Participants proposed the following action plan:
Background: pharmaceutical quality in the 21st century—the path ahead for discovery, development, and deliveryOn Aug. 21, 2002, FDA announced a significant new initiative: "Pharmaceutical Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) for the 21st Century: A Risk-Based Approach." This initiative set forth a plan to enhance and modernize FDA's regulations governing pharmaceutical manufacturing and product quality for human and veterinary drugs and select human biological products. The goal was to ensure that:
In April 2003, the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI) and FDA held an inaugural workshop on "A Drug Quality System for the 21st Century." This workshop offered a rare opportunity for FDA and industry to share experiences and ideas to create a common vision for a scientific risk-based regulatory process. Topics addressed at the 2003 workshop included: a pharmaceutical inspectorate, changes without prior review, 21 CFR Part 11, manufacturing science, technical issue resolution, and risk-based CGMPs. This workshop provided the necessary forum to develop a framework to facilitate innovation, application of cutting-edge scientific and engineering knowledge, and implementation of modern quality management systems in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Pornography will not be blocked automatically from British internet subscribers, the U.K. government has decided. There had been calls for a system whereby Internet service providers would have had to put filters on all connections unless subscribers contacted them and asked for them to be switched off.
The Home Office and the Department of Education in a joint report, however, said that a public consultation had revealed little enthusiasm among parents for the idea of automatic filtering by Internet service providers (ISPs), according to The Independent.
"There was no great appetite among parents for the introduction of default filtering of the internet by their ISP: only 35% of the parents who responded favoured that approach," it said.
The report said ministers had been guided by expert advice that default filtering could create a false sense of security as not all harmful content is blocked, and it does not encourage parents to learn about keeping their children safe online.
"Warning signs, water wings and lifeguards are all useful aids to safety in swimming pools, but they don't prevent all accidents by themselves, and children still need to have swimming lessons and be alert to possible dangers," it said.
The report suggests that filters can help to block some harmful content, but they do not prevent cyber-bullying, "sexting" or online grooming. U.K. government ministers are now asking ISPs to "actively encourage" the use of parental controls in households where there are children.
