Private woodlot owners were to deliver fresh-cut timber to Arbec Forest Products in Morrison Cove, New Brunswick on July 16.
The St.-Leonard, Quebec company said in February that it planned to start up the mill this fall and be in production by the spring of 2013.
Jean-Guy Comeau told the Miramichi Leader that Arbec believes the American housing market will pick up next year and that will significantly increase waferboard sales.
The president of the Northumberland County Forest Products Marketing Board said Arbec has "'shown courage'" to make a commitment when the industry is slumping. He estimated that along with over 100 direct mill jobs, upwards to 400 would be employed cutting, yarding and trucking wood.
While Arbec has 277,802 cubic metres in Crown wood allocations, over half its supply will come from private woodlot owners like those in the Northumberland County, the North Shore and the Southeast New Brunswick Forest Products Marketing Boards.
"'When you have people sitting at the table saying they're willing to give it all they can to make this a success, that's positive,'" Comeau told the Miramichi Leader
"'We'll be working on a weekly basis to make things workable for all parties—this is the beginning of the restructuring of the forest sector, and it's a darn good start."'

FILE - This undated file photo provided by Christie's auction house shows Jasper Johns' "Flag," a pop art rendition of the American flag created in the 1960s that author Michael Crichton bought from the artist in 1973. The painting is one of many in Crichton's collection that will go on the auction block during Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art sale in New York on May 11-12, 2010. "Flag" has a pre-sale estimate of $10 million to $15 million, but art dealer Richard Feigen said he believed "it'll go through the roof," fetching upwards of $30 million.

DOHA: Malaysia beat hosts Qatar 78-70 to post their maiden win in the preliminary round of the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship yesterday.
It was Malaysia's first victory in a FIBA Asia U18 Championship in more almost four years — they last beat Sri Lanka 86-52 in a preliminary round game at the 21st FIBA Asia U18 Championship in Sana'a, Yemen, in 2010.
But importantly, yesterday's result propelled Malaysia on par with Qatar and India in a three-way tie for the second spot — behind China — in Group A's race for a place in the Second Round of the event.
Currently, all three teams have won only one of their three games in the preliminary round. But the eight-point margin of yesterday's victory helped Malaysia finish with 0.993 goals average from points in games among the three teams ahead of India who had finished with 0.973.
Although the margin of victory was insufficient for Malaysia to surpass Qatar — who finished with 1.033 — the win ensured that it was Malaysia who carried forward an additional win from the preliminary round with Qatar having to start from scratch in their Second Round Group E games against Korea, Philippines and Jordan.
"There was no special instruction to the boys. We just told them to go out there, play their best and get a win," said Malaysia coach Yong Kian Ann.
"We had done our calculations but we didn't talk about it. We didn't want the boys get under pressure," the coach hailing from Johor Bahru said.
Twice reigning gold medallists China will open their campaign in the Second Round of the 23rd FIBA Asia U18 Championship today with a game against Jordan while hosts Qatar will line up against Philippines.

Patents and inventions, while related (in that the former describes the latter), are orthogonal instruments. A patent is merely a legal document that entitles its bearer to an argument. Although it might contain an invention, this isn?t absolutely necessary. Whether it does is generally the subject of the (aforementioned) argument. That?s what lawyers are for. On the other hand, an invention is an abstract instrument created by the mind, and in the (nascent) information age, machines can also create.

An estimated 3,000 people will descend on the De Anza College Stadium on May 16 for the annual Kiwanis Special Games that bring together student athletes from across the Bay Area for a day of running, tossing, bowling and just plain fun. The approximately 1,000 special education students participating in the games come from 60 schools, with the rest of the crowd made up of friends, family, teachers and volunteers.
There are 25 students attending the games from Rolling Hills Middle School, which serves students who live in Los Gatos, Saratoga and Campbell.
Rolling Hills seventh-grader Christopher Aguilar said, "I like the racing. The track is very big, and you go around to the finish line and then you win."
Everyone wins at these games: The kids get a ribbon for each event they participate in.
To make the competition fair, students are placed in groups with six others, all of whom have similar abilities. The events are tailored to fit the limitations of the athletes.
"I might do the Frisbee toss or the bean bag toss," seventh-grader Alyssa Catterton said. "I think it's really fun because there are so many games you can play."
It's not just the games that get the students excited, however, as the day begins with a Parade of Athletes. The Rolling Hills Eagles' banner will accompany the students on parade, who will also carry green construction paper flags that they made in class.
It is at this point that each of the participating schools is introduced to the crowd. In addition to Rolling Hills, the Campbell Union School District is sending students from Forest Hill Elementary and Campbell Middle School. Campbell's Westmont High School will have a contingent as well.
Students from Saratoga Elementary School and Prospect High School will be on hand, too, along with athletes from Cupertino and Monta Vista high schools. Sunnyvale will be represented by students from Cherry Chase, Lakewood and Vargas elementary schools, Columbia and Sunnyvale middle schools and Fremont High School.
Once the actual games begin, Rolling Hills seventh-grader Jesus Reyes will be ready to sprint. "I can run the track out here in 54 seconds," Jesus bragged.
He ran at last year's games, too, and "jumped with happiness" because he won a ribbon.
That's a typical reaction says Karen Iott, who is the Campbell school district's adapted physical education specialist. "It improves their self esteem," Iott said. "They can do the games at any level and feel success, so they love the competition."
Iott has been bringing students to the special games since 2006.

You may remember the name Acerbus from the group of D4 S8 renders we shared on this blog several months ago. The photoshop artist grabbed our attention through consistent application of the latest S-car design cues to the new A8, creating shots of the car that we suspect will prove quite accurate once the S8 debuts. This week we've stumbled across a new collection from Acerbus where he applies the same attention to detail the renderings

Despite Availability, Patients In India Lack Access to Medicines
Despite Availability, Patients In India Lack Access to Medicines
09.26.11 | By Jay Taylor
Last week, my colleague Grady Forrer wrote about non-communicable diseases, which are posing new and growing threats to the developing world, including countries like India.
Working in international advocacy, I see first-hand how these diseases - such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, lung diseases and mental illnesses - are increasingly leading to both social and economic burdens, despite being manageable with inexpensive, effective medicines.
A recent study, however, found that these medicines, many of which are readily available as generics, are grossly underutilized. This study, which sampled patients from around the world, revealed that in low-income countries, less than 20 percent of patients with cardiovascular disease were using these secondary prevention drugs, and less than 5 percent of patients in low-income countries were using either diuretics or statins available as generics.
What struck me most about this was that an overwhelming proportion of the sampled patients were from India, the world's biggest supplier of low-cost generic medicines.
Clearly, the low-cost, generic medicines that could help these patients stay healthy were not beyond reach.
Ultimately, the study was a reminder that in many low-and middle-income countries, inadequate distribution and lack of access are as much a barrier to health as the cost of care.

The Wine Country's Champagne & Sparkling Wine Buyer
"I don't make wine for people who drink champagne just once a year."
--Diane Coquillette
I sat down with Diane Coquillette on my first day back into the shop after a rather grueling "weekend" of deadline pressures and fruitless searches for inspiration and adequate verbiage to express my enthusiasm. A rather stinky way to spend your days off really, but one I've sadly grown far too accustomed to. I can't seem to knock out my articles and notes while in the shop, the distractions of phones, deliveries and even the very welcome ones of helping customers; they just aren't conducive to the kind of writing or storytelling that I'm comfortable doing. Top that with the fact that I bury myself in panic so deep worrying about being behind that it quite literally chokes the words from my…um, fingertips.
So needless to say, I was a touch cranky that I'd forfeited my time off to the newsletter deadline paralysis, self-imposed, mind you, but still.
I had forgotten that I had taken an appointment for that Tuesday morning and completely forgotten that it was to taste through the entire lineup of a small grower in Champagne whose wines I had not tasted before. If there was ever a remedy for cranky, tasting through a line of new-to-me grower Champagne is it.
I have to admit that I tend to be a bit skeptical when tasting through new Champagnes and while Stephane's daughter Diane was remarkably charming and shockingly beautiful, I was not going to be swayed by that, especially while somewhat cranky. Our Champagne department is already packed with so many beautiful wines, any wines wishing to join them on our shelves have to pass a pretty rigorous evaluation, mood changing and beautifully stylish French woman notwithstanding. Good enough simply isn't good enough for my Champagne customers. I grabbed a stack of paper and hit the tasting room.
Took all of about three wines for my cranky to vanish and in its place there was this excitement and energy. I had a Champagne evening event coming up the following week at The Wine Country and it would be the perfect time to debut these glorious bubbles! Very rarely have I been so blown away by an estate that I would bring them in and give them a spot in one of our Champagne classes so quickly; the wines from Coquillette were that good.
Poured both the 2006 Vintage and the Brut Rose at our event and both wines sold out. See, it's not just me!
Champagne Stephane Coquillette is located in the Cote des Blancs village of Chouilly and the majority of their holdings are in Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. Stephane is a fourth generation winemaker in Champagne. His grandparents established, and father still runs, Saint-Chamant, another Champagne we are wild about, (but are currently out of and waiting for another container from the importer) that produces some stunning Blanc de Blancs.
Stephane's vision for his own Champagnes was to produce wines for true Champagne aficionados. These are not wines for the, "Ice it down, serve it really cold in a flute" set. These wines are far too serious to be treated that way. Drink them as you would any great white wine, not freezing cold as to mask the delicate flavors, and in a wine glass that allows the wine to open up and express all its marvelous complexity.
Couldn't be more thrilled to offer the wines from Stephane Coquillette to all of you lovers of layered and multi-dimensional wines.
N.V. Stephane Coquillette Cuvee les Cles
Blanc de Noirs Brut, Chouilly, Champagne
You get just the palest bit of pinky orange color here from the 100% Pinot Noir and while beautiful it is the aromatics that killed me. My notes read, "This is the kind of wine that makes you never want to remove your nose from the glass. Each spin revels something new and utterly captivating." The texture in your mouth is so delicate it's nearly lacy and the finish leaves you aching for another sip.
$52.99 per bottle
2006 Stephane Coquillette 1er Cru Brut
Chouilly, Champagne
While not labeled as such the 2006 vintage is 100% Chardonnay. When I asked Diane why they didn't put Blanc de Blanc on the label she told me that the percentage of what they use each year, (when and if they make a vintage bottling at all) varies depending on what the harvest gives them. If the Pinot Noir is better one harvest than they will use some or more Pinot Noir in their vintage cuvee, just so happens 2006 blessed them with glorious Chardonnay so they were able to make a Blanc de Blancs. I have to say I love that, the letting the vines determine what to make rather than try and force something that may not be up to their standards. This 2006 is one of those wines that walks the tightrope between power and finesse. Big, rich and staining fruit mixed with some creamy, buttery, custard-like richness but the bubbles and yeastiness are so elegant and fine. One of my favorite wines in the shop right now.
$65.99 per bottle
N.V. Stephane Coquillette Marie Aimer Grand Cru
Brut Rosé Chouilly, Champagne
Fan of simple and delicate Rose? Well then, this is not your wine. Very wine like in the nose; lots of wild strawberry, anise and something almost like violets in the background. The wine is quite rich on the palate but does not come off in the least bit heavy. This wine drinks like great Burgundy in that way it can fill and coat the mouth but leave you feeling refreshed and ready for another sip. Powerful enough to hold up to meat heavy dishes but refined enough to simply enjoy on its own.
$69.99 per bottle

Alexander-Bradley draws only 6247 fans, King calls it a great success
Share the post "Alexander-Bradley draws only 6247 fans, King calls it a great success"
By Eric Thomas: Last Saturday night's light welterweight unification bout between WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander and WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley drew only 6247 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, in Michigan. They were expecting a crowd of 15,000 and ended up with only half of that number. You have to think it's a disappointment to the promoters of the event.
That's nice that King sees it that way, but the fight could have been much more successful had it taken place in Saint Louis, where Alexander lives and routinely draws huge crowds of over 10,000 fans. It was insane to have the Alexander vs. Bradley fight take place in Michigan where neither of the two fighters have a fan base. As for the fight itself, it was boring to watch, filled with headbutts and a lot of grabbing and holding. Fittingly, the fight ended with Alexander pretty much quitting after getting headbutted for the up-tenth time. It a match-up from the very start of the fight and steadily got worse as the fight progressed. Hopefully there won't be rematch anytime soon.
Alexander says "I didn't see after the head butt. My eyes are burning." Some boxing fans think that Alexander was faking, hoping to maybe get a decision win early rather than trying his luck in the last two rounds.

Everwood's Chris Pratt is engaged! The actor has plans to tie the knot with actress Anna Faris. Get the details below with a video of Chris Pratt and photos after the jump.
Chris Pratt and House Bunny star, Anna Faris, are engaged. The couple reportedly became engaged at the end of last year.

Chris previously dated his costar Emily Van Camp from Everwood who is now on Brothers and Sisters.
He's awesome. He's a great, great guy. I feel really lucky," Anna Faris revealed in an interview lasy year.
Faris who is notoriously known for her Scary Movie type roles was previously married to Ben Indra for four years before splitting last February. Pratt and Faris have reportedly been dating for the last year. A date for the couples wedding was not announced.

Half of New Hotspots Are on Company Lands: Analysis
Jakarta, INDONESIA—Fire alerts are again on the rise on Indonesia's Sumatra island, and half of the nearly 200 blazes in recent days are occurring on the land of pulpwood, logging and palm-oil companies, according to a new analysis.
Washington-based World Resources Institute says NASA satellites detected a total of 198 hotspots—areas of high heat that often indicate fires—across Sumatra from July 20 to 22, just shy of the number that set off emergency reactions in Singapore and Malaysia last month.
For weeks since the last major fires, unseasonal rains have reduced the number of fire alerts to zero on many days. The new spike comes just as Sumatra is entering the heart of the dry season, from August to October.
As was the case last month, most of the fire alerts occurred in Riau province, the heart of Indonesia's palm-oil industry—the world's largest—and pulpwood industry. WRI said about a quarter of all fire alerts occurred on pulpwood plantations, 11% on palm-oil plantations and 11% on logging concessions.
Roughly half occurred outside concession areas.
"Above all, the new data indicate that Indonesia's fire and haze crisis continues and remains a serious issue," WRI said in an analysis on its website.
Indonesia's disaster agency on Monday put the number of fire alerts much higher, saying Riau alone accounted for 173 hotspots. The agency uses data from satellites of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in part for historical reasons, although experts say the NASA data, coming from refined sensors in its Aqua and Terra satellites, is more reliable.
The disaster agency said visibility of just 70 meters interrupted flights at the airport in Riau's capital, Pekanbaru, on Monday morning, and that air pollution had risen to hazardous levels again in different parts of the province.
The agency said it is continuing to water-bomb fires and to seed clouds in hopes of producing rain.

These are some of the most scrumptious dessert bars you'll ever eat. A delicious confetti cake mix is mixed with Easter M&Ms and baked up to perfection. Then the bars are spread with vanilla buttercream icing, sprinkled with funfetti and more M&Ms are added on top. They are chocolaty, super-sweet, and decadent. M&M Funfetti Bars are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth craving and are a great dessert for entertaining.
Last Sunday we had a large group over for a pool party and while we had plenty of people bringing sides, there were only a few who signed up to bring desserts, so I decided to whip this one up on the spur of the moment. John's office staff had given him a large bag of Easter M&Ms when he had his hip replacement surgery a couple of months ago. They had been staring at me every time I looked at that spot on the counter and knew it was time to do something with them. I love confetti cake mix batter as a starter for cookies, but then when you load them up with M&Ms and then frost them with lots of vanilla buttercream icing and load them up with more M&Ms, well something magical happens!
Certainly these dessert bars are very sweet so you can only eat a few bites at a time! 😉 But if you love M&Ms and a confetti cake mix taste, then these M&M Funfetti Bars are for you! Each bite is breathtaking. These are great for baby or bridal showers, tailgating parties, and holiday baking. These fabulous cookies just seem to dissolve in your mouth. Better give them a try soon!
M&M Funfetti Bars are incredibly sweet.
If you love M&Ms you'll love these wonderful dessert bars.
These luscious dessert bars are rich, decadent, and oh, so chocolaty! Funfetti + M&Ms = A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Here's what I did.
These are the ingredients I used for this recipe.
Pour funfetti cake mix into a mixing bowl. Add egg and oil.
Add milk or half-and-half rather than water for richer flavor.
Whisk ingredients together to combine.

Name: ARF Trooper
Collection: The Clone Wars
Number: CW56
Source: The Clone Wars (Season 4 Episode 5: Mercy Mission)
Availability: August 2011
License: Hasbro
ARF (Advanced Reconnaissance Fighter) troopers are deployed to the ocean-covered planet Kamino, where they must defend the Republic's cloning facilities from a surprise Separatist attack. This ARF trooper makes use of a speederboard, which provides fast, easy transportation across a planet covered in water, while freeing the trooper's hands for combat while he's on the move.
It's rare for Hasbro to have figures available for a currently airing season at retail. But if a mistake is the cause, does it really matter to collectors? That's what happened with the [Kamino] ARF Trooper. Thinking they were making the ARF Troopers from Kamino, they actually made an ARF Trooper from an unaired (at the time) episode of The Clone Wars. From clone trainees to specialized ARC troopers, we were basically shown every level of clone in less than 60 minutes of screen time in the opening two episodes of season 3, so no wonder Hasbro got confused. All of the diversity, personality and all of the physical traits like varying colors of clone armor have show that a clone is anything but a…well, a clone. It awakened us to the fact that we were likely going to get a proverbial army of characters for our action figure collections with no end in sight. That happened and still happens and will indeed continue to happen as long as the line is alive. But in all honesty, does this really faze us? Aren't we content with the latest flavor of clone trooper? Even if collectors get a little bored with one clone trooper after another, kids eat these types of figures up. And with the inclusion of extra play features, there is even more reason that basic figures from The Clone Wars line will continue to engage fans of all ages.
Hasbro will always find a way to release some of their greatest action figures and they've become smart enough to know that while straight repacks are sometimes necessary, new color palettes to create new styles of them are even more essential. You've seen the ARF Trooper sculpt since mid 2009 and it has remained an almost ageless sculpt since its inception thanks to up to the minute modern sculpting. Hasbro willingly saw the need to bring us ARF Trooper figures in the various style we see them in the television show. The paint jobs range from complicated to relatively simple. From the ARF Trooper Boil from the 2010 TCW AT-RT With ARF Trooper Boil Deluxe figure to the 2010 TCW Jungle Camo ARF Trooper (CW24) from The Clone Wars film, Hasbro is slowly fulfilling the needs of collectors who want this sculpt in every style. And the candidate pool from which they select them will inevitably never run dry. With an astounding 14 points of ball-jointed articulation, this is the type of figure by which all others should be judged. From the rarely included ball-jointed hips to the even rarer ball-jointed wrists, the ARF Trooper is indeed one of the premier sculpted figures in The Clone Wars line and very few other figures can compare. (We're talking strictly from the standpoint of articulation.)
The ARF Trooper is based on the one riding the AT-RT in the season 4 episode Mercy Mission. But we are certain that Hasbro saw the ARF Troopers in the Clone Cadets episode of season 3 and thought they were making them instead. This episode of The Clone Wars television show is fiilled with new looking clone troopers and the ARF Troopers with the maroon color flashes on their arms through their shoulders appear to be some clone leaders on Kamino as they watch a Republic Gunship arrive at its docking bay. The regular white-bodied versions are shown elsewhere in the episode as well as on the figure's packaging (and game card). It's actually one of our most favorite The Clone Wars figures from the "Shadow Of The Dark Side" phase. The ARF Trooper is loaded with accessories. He comes with the episode specific speeder board and then an awesome gun rack which firmly holds in place two DC-15 blaster rifles. We're actually taken aback by how well these rifles snap into place. The rifle rack looks to be a straight repack of the one that came with 1999's POTF Stormtrooper (With Blaster Damage) (Comm Tech) figure. But it works better than ever in The Clone Wars line. We'd say this style of ARF Trooper is necessary. You'll have to decide that yourself like any other figure, but definitely don't take this figure for granted as another boring repaint because it isn't.
Status: ARF Trooper is a rework of 2009's TCW ARF Trooper (CW10) figure.
Articulation Count: 14 points
Articulation Details: ball socket head, 2 ball-jointed shoulders, 2 ball-jointed elbows, 2 ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed waist, 2 ball-jointed hips, 2 ball-jointed knees, 2 ball-jointed ankles

Rep. Lantos' call for sanctions <i>and</i> diplomacy puzzles L.A. Iranians
Tom Lantos, chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee, made headlines last April when he reiterated his desire to travel to Iran for informal talks with Iranian officials. And yet one month later the Democratic congressman from San Mateo introduced a tough Iran divestment bill with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) that the House overwhelmingly passed last week.
The seemingly contradictory approach in dealing with Iran's regime has many in the local Jewish and Iranian American communities scratching their heads. But Lantos says the approach is consistent because his proposed restrictions and sanctions may discourage the Iranian regime from pursuing its nuclear weapons program.
"I am an unqualified proponent of dialogue that has nothing to do with the nature of my legislation," Lantos told The Journal. "I go to countries which we have very bad relations or no relations with whatsoever, because my purpose is to put things on a diplomatic track and hopefully improve relations. Iran is no exception."
Lantos pointed to his past efforts in opening lines of communications through meetings with officials in Libya, North Korea and the former Soviet Union as proof of his ability to make diplomatic progress.
"In the 1980s I took delegations from Congress to the Soviet Union when that was not the popular thing to do," Lantos said. "It didn't prevent me from going to the Soviet Union and talking to them when they had nuclear weapons pointed at us."
In 1998, Lantos was unsuccessful in his request for a meeting with Mohammad Khatami after the moderate Iranian president called for an exchange of writers, scholars and artists between the United States and Iran. Lantos last visited the country in 1978 as a San Francisco State University economics professor.
Lantos, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, would not discuss whether he would address statements of Holocaust denial made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad if he were to travel to Tehran. Still, local Jewish leaders said a possible journey to Iran by Lantos could make a significant symbolic statement.
"The regime is officially at war with the memory of the Shoah, and Congressman Lantos' mere presence exposes the big lie without even saying a word," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in West Los Angeles.
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks), who also serves on the House Foreign Relations committee, said such a visit could improve U.S. chances of winning international support for American policies toward Iran.
"What greater proof that Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier and liar than to be confronted by Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor," Sherman said. "Lantos' position is that the discussions with the Iranians are not a special gift to them, but rather would improve our image in the world and help us mobilize the world against the Iranian program."
Local Jewish leaders also said they were confident that Lantos would be one of the best U.S. officials to deal with Iran based on his longstanding record during his tenure in Congress.
"He is aggressive and out front to stand up for human rights, to stand up for Israel and stand against anti-Semitism without any apologies," Cooper said. "At the same time he would be able to leverage his position to see if there is a way to mitigate those flash points through personal involvement in the issues."
White House officials declined to comment on Lantos' legislation, which passed the House on Sept. 25 in a 397-16 vote; the bill's companion in the Senate is stalled and likely won't be considered this year.
Some Middle East experts said they were skeptical of Lantos' past diplomatic efforts in the region, as countries like Libya have not improved human rights conditions.
"The more Lantos has traveled to Tripoli, the more Qadhafi has cracked down on dissidents and dissent," said Michael Rubin, a resident Middle East scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington D.C. "Take the case of Fathi El-Jahmi, Libya's leading peaceful secular dissident. He was put in prison after Lantos' first trip and his visitation and medical care have been stripped with each passing Lantos visit."
Southern California Iranian Jewish leaders said that while Lantos has been a close friend to the community and he has sought their advice on issues of Iran, his proposed visit to Iran might not yield any diplomatic breakthroughs.
"I don't believe talking with the Islamic Republic would yield much benefit to the United States. Instead, it could disenfranchise the people of Iran who consider the United States to be their allies," said Sam Kermanian, secretary general of the L.A.-based Iranian-American Jewish Federation. "It will allow the Islamic Republic more time to continue with its nuclear weapons program."
Several Iran experts said that while Lantos and other politicians have good intentions to resolve problems with the Iranian regime through dialogue, such strategies carried out by European leaders between 2000 and 2005 have proven to be unfruitful.
"Dialogue turned out to be a sham," said Rubin, a longtime scholar of Iran's regime. "Rather than embrace the West, we now know that the Iranian government invested 70 percent of its hard currency windfall into its covert [nuclear] programs."
Calls made to the Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the United Nations were not returned.
Other Iran experts said that if Lantos were to travel to Iran on a diplomatic mission, he would have some success persuading moderate Iranian officials.
"It would be particularly useful if Mr. Lantos could meet with the more reform-minded members of parliament, in order to show that he is not proposing some deal with the regime which sells out the democratic cause," said Patrick Clawson, deputy director for research at the bipartisan Washington Institute for Near East Policy in Washington D.C.

In the late 1940s, Jerry Morris, Director of Britain's Medical Research Counci's Social Medicine Unit devised one of the first great epidemiological studies to figure out why so many Britons were dying of heart attacks: he looked at bus drivers and their counterparts who, this being the land of double-decker buses, ran up and down the stairs each day collecting tickets. "And there was a striking difference in the heart-attack rate," Morris tells the Financial Times Simon Kuper. "The drivers of these double-decker buses had substantially more, age for age, than the conductors."
The key difference between the two groups: the bus drivers led, essentially, sedentary lives; the ticket collectors were constantly moving. As Kuper notes, in a fascinating article, the idea that exercise – or the lack thereof – was intimately associated with disease was so radical, Morris sat on the results until they had been tested by every conceivable means. Then the data from postal workers came in, and the results were the same: those who actually delivered the mail were significantly healthier than those who sat behind counters or worked in an office.
Morris went on to write one of the pioneering works of modern epidemiology, The Uses of Epidemiology (1957); but he also started to live out the conclusions from his study of the data, becoming possibly Britain's first jogger. Still alive at 99 – and still working – Morris has constantly advocated for physical exercise as a vital change required of humans living, for the first time, in a sedentary culture. As he tells Kuper:
"For the first time in history," says Morris, "the mass of the population has deliberately got to take exercise. It's a new phenomenon, which is not appreciated." For decades he has tried to persuade governments to make exercise easier. He was involved in the pioneering English National Fitness Survey of 1990, which found that half of women aged 55 to 64 could not comfortably walk a mile. These people were in effect disabled. The government ignored the report. Since then, British exercise levels haven't changed much. His voice becomes high-pitched with outrage: "Just imagine, what historians in the future are going to say about the way we've allowed this epidemic of childhood obesity. 'Disgrace' is a sort of mild word."

Several years ago, I happen to see a video on Dateline on domestic abuse like this. Actors posing as a couple went to a park and began to fight. The man became more and more physical as the filming continued. To the shock of viewers, most people did nothing or pretended they didn't notice when they obviously did. Only a few women confronted the man in an effort to help the woman. The question posed was, "What would you do if you were in the same situation?"
I had no idea. Of all I've seen living in the hood, I haven't encountered such a blatant display of abuse - especially in public.
My first reaction was to stop and help. I did all I could do but desperately wanted to do more. Sweet Hannah reminded me this afternoon of this scripture she has been studying with the junior high girls..."If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God's love?
After the police arrived, I left and Sadie was scared to tears. I thought to myself, 'Why in the world would I do anything that could put her in danger? That man was so angry, he could have hurt us both.' and, 'Where do we draw the line between protecting our children and doing the right thing for our 'neighbor'?
I agree with Francis Chan who says we seek safety, comfort, and security too much as believers. But, I struggle when it comes to my own children. I know He is faithful to guard them as we live out His call on our lives and yet my faith in Him and his ability to do so waivers often. Especially after replaying all the possibilities of yesterday's situation in my head.
Do you struggle with this? How would you have reacted?
Darius and Dea said, "Aw, MaMelissa, We told you to carry a baseball bat. That's when you pull it out and tell the guy to step off or you're gonna beat the crap out of him."
And there you have it.

Could Health-Care Law Cure 'Job Lock'?
Plenty of workers claim they're only hanging on to their jobs for the health insurance—otherwise, they say, they'd strike out on their own or tell their boss goodbye forever.
Some of those cubicle-bound soldiers might just be waiting until 2014, when the health insurance coverage mandated by the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) goes into effect. The ACA, which requires states to offer fairly-priced insurance on public exchanges, are expected to make coverage cheaper and easier for individuals and small businesses.
This development could also boost the job market, helping solve a problem that economists and benefits experts call "job lock": the reluctance of workers to leave their jobs because doing so would mean losing health insurance.
Why does job lock matter? In the broadest sense, the economy is best served when people are employed where they are most productive. This requires workers to feel confident they can change jobs or strike out on their own, economists say, a move that also frees up positions for people seeking employment.
In a 2004 survey, the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 27 percent of workers cited health insurance as the primary reason they're not retiring or changing jobs.
If you're plotting an eventual escape from the office, here are a few things to keep in mind:
-What state do you live in? Some states are creating their own exchanges; others are opting into a federal exchange (Dallas Salisbury, chief of EBRI, a research and educational organization, estimates that 25 to 35 states will participate in the federal exchange). The deadline for states to decide which path they'll take was just extended until December 14. Each state will have its own set of guidelines. Keep up with the changes at www.healthcare.gov, the government website devoted to implementation of the law. You can search for insurance options by state, but since the details of the exchanges are still in play, it will be a while before you'll find a list of plans available under Obamacare.
-Pricing is still up in the air. This is partly because the ACA calls for subsidies to help make insurance affordable; for example, a family of four with an income of about $88,000 (400 percent of the poverty limit) will be eligible for some subsidy to help pay insurance premiums. But those subsidies may be a target for Congressional Republicans looking to slow implementation of the law or save money in favor of deficit reduction, says Mr. Salisbury.
-If you think your employer's coverage options are hard to figure out, be prepared for even more bewilderment when choosing a plan off the exchange. The ACA requires that exchanges offer multiple levels of coverage: so-called bronze, silver, gold and platinum plans. But that doesn't mean you'll only have four options. Instead, says Mr. Salisbury, multiple insurers can offer products through the exchange, so individuals could find themselves comparing, say, nine different bronze-level plans.
It's too early to tell whether the ACA will help vast numbers of workers feel free to pursue their dreams. The major question going forward, says Mr. Salisbury, is how big the subsidies will be. Congress will grapple with that issue, among others, during negotiations over the budget deficit and the final shape of the ACA. Consumers should have some firm answers in hand by September 30, 2013, the deadline for Congress to approve the 2014 budget.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Waldo Jaquith is director of the U.S. Open Data Insitute, which Knight Foundation supports. With the input of Jaquith and other thought leaders, Knight Foundation is launching OpenGov and You, a companion to the 2013 Aspen Institute Forum on Communication and Society (FOCAS) that explores how we might tackle the obstacles to government openness and transparency.
Not long ago, the working definitions of "open government" and "open data" barely overlapped. Open government was all about holding up government to public scrutiny via Watergate-era methods—namely, making sure that meetings were held in public and that agencies responded to requests for information. Open data was about providing information in formats that computers can understand. Today, open government and open data overlap so substantially that it's routinely necessary to explain that they're different.
"Understanding the citizen" by Ellen Miller on KnightBlog
Open government increasingly means "open government data," reflecting changes in how people receive information today. Open government laws require that people receive government information upon request, but today people expect to find many types of government information on demand, via Google. Open government laws permit officials to provide a municipal budget as a scanned-in document, but today people expect a spreadsheet. Open government laws require that meetings be public, but today people expect them to be live-streamed and the video archived for later viewing. The Internet mediates our communications with friends, family and businesses. There's no reason why it shouldn't mediate our communications with government too.
Is a state legislative meeting really open if it's held before dawn, hundreds of miles from thousands of the state's citizens? Are thousands of government e-mails really open if they're provided as scanned-in PDFs? Is providing a response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to just one person—the person who requested the information—really opening up government meaningfully? In the average citizen's experience, does information really exist if you can't Google it?
Gradually, we'll change our open government laws in recognition of this shift in how government information is created and stored, and how people expect to receive it. Fundamentally, that shift will be about including open government data as a core of our definition of "open government." Government data should be published preemptively, rather than upon request via a FOIA request. And a fulfilled FOIA request should be seen not as a success, but as a failure—a failure to have published that information in the first place, so that somebody didn't have to request it.
So, what's the holdup? If open data is such a clear good, of such obvious public, commercial and government benefit, why is adoption slow and spotty?
At the U.S. Open Data Institute, we've identified two significant obstacles to the adoption of open data practices within government:
It's time to move beyond discussions like "what is open government?" and "is open data important to government?" and start looking at the reality of how to implement open government in the Internet age.

A burger restaurant in Castro Valley that was closed after a fatal officer-involved shooting late Friday night reopened today, a restaurant spokeswoman said.
Boulevard Burger at 3714 Castro Valley Blvd. closed its doors for more than two days following the shooting shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, which claimed the life of a robbery suspect.
Alameda County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. J.D. Nelson said the incident began when a masked gunman, who was dressed all in black and was carrying a .357 revolver, entered the restaurant about an hour after it had closed for the night, took a female employee at gunpoint and demanded cash.
At the same time, two male employees who were outside putting away patio furniture for the night noticed two sheriff's deputies who were conducting an unrelated traffic stop nearby, Nelson said.
When the male workers walked back inside the restaurant they were confronted by the suspect, who ordered them to open the safe but they were unable to do so because they don't have access to the safe, according to Nelson.
The male employees then grabbed and held the suspect and told the female worker to ask the deputies to respond, Nelson said.
The suspect faced the deputies and one of the male employees grabbed the suspect's arm, causing his revolver to fire one round, according to Nelson.
One of the deputies then fired multiple rounds at the suspect, striking him multiple times and killing him, Nelson said.
The suspect hasn't yet been identified but authorities hope to identify him later today or on Tuesday, Nelson said.
No one else was shot in the gunfire, according to Nelson. The employee who grabbed the suspect's arm suffered a minor powder burn from the errant shot by the suspect, Nelson said.
The employees who grabbed the gunman acted "heroically," Nelson said.

Stovetop Tomato Mac and Cheese
June 23, 2014 | Permalink
The creamiest mac and cheese is made from scratch on the stovetop!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: Serves 6
1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk, warm
3 cups (10-12 oz.) cheddar cheese, grated
1 (28-oz.) can Muir Glen® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, drained
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Toasted Breadcrumbs:
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt and pepper
Preparation & Directions:
- Boil elbow macaroni in salted water (1 tablespoon kosher salt per gallon of water) until it is cooked, but has a slight bite to it. Taste it regularly as it cooks to make sure you don't over cook the pasta. Drain pasta when cooked and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- In a separate large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in flour. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixtures turns a light, tan color.
- Slowly whisk warm milk into the butter/flour mixture. The mixture should thicken immediately. If it is very thick, add another 1/4-1/2 cup of milk. Once sauce is combined, add grated cheese and whisk until melted.
- Fold drained Muir Glen® Diced Tomatoes with Basil into the sauce and season with a teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper. Taste sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking.

JBL's VERTEC SERIES Line Arrays lead the industry in large venue sound reinforcement. While intended for smaller venues than VerTec, the VRX900 Series Constant Curvature Line Arrays are designed and built to the same high standards and uses the same advanced, concert-proven drivers. JBL's VRX900 SERIES speakers deliver extraordinary power handling, clarity, flexibility and, of course, stunning JBL sound in an attractive, easy to handle and affordable package.
VRX918S 18" High PowerFlying Subwoofer
Integral rigging hardware for simple connection of VRX932LA line-arrays and optional array frame.
18 inch, 2268H Differential Drive woofer for extended low-frequency output
Large port area for reduced distortion
20 mm threaded pole socket for solid, secure satellite speaker mounting
Drawing upon its 60 years of leadership in professional audio, JBL has once again drivensound reinforcement technology to a new threshold of performance, with the VRX Powered Line Array series family. With the VRX Series, JBL engineers transcend the natural evolution of self-powered speaker system development by integrating proven, Differential Drive transducers and a next-generation high frequency compression driver with the JBL DrivePack technology platform, developed with Harman sister company, Crown International. The resulting systems not only deliver the best sound available, they are also very user-friendly while offering an unprecedented level of coverage and control.CONSTANT CURVATURE ARRAY
The VRX waveguide mounts three compression drivers on a continuous arc enabling them to work together as though they were a single driver. Power handling is dramatically increased and when multiple enclosures are used together in an array they work together seamlessly as if they were a single driver on a very long waveguide. The result: unprecedented coherence projecting the sound energy directly to the audience and stunning, clear high frequency sound quality regardless of the configuration. AMPLITUDE SHADING
The Array Shading Configuration selector enables an array to be fine tuned for an even more consistent sound field. Each high-frequency section in an array can be boosted or cut. For example, the upper enclosures in an array can be boosted to project the high frequencies to the back of the venue, while the lower enclosures can be cut, shaded back for less output for the front rows of the venue. HORIZONTAL COVERAGE
No matter how many enclosures in a VRX array the horizontal coverage is a constant 100. Rather than stacking and arraying systems side by side and running the risk of an inconsistent sound field as the coverage patterns overlap, with the VRX, the array is built vertically, and sound is projected from a single waveguide. With no overlapping coverage patterns, not only is the sound filed extremely consistent a great stereo image is guaranteed.
VRX uses JBL's Differential Drive woofers with dual voice-coils and neodymium magnets. Neodymium's magnetic properties allow a few ounces to replace pounds of conventional magnetic material. In the Differential Drive configuration the magnet is positioned inside the two voice coils making traditional big steel pole plates redundant, further decreasing the size and weight of the driver. The use of neodymium and the dual voice coil design delivers a very light-weight driver with massive amounts of power capacity, low distortion and reduced power compression.
The setup for VRX900 powered speakers is fast and easy. Simply connect up to three loudspeakers together by looping the power and audio cables from one unit to another. In a sub/satellite configuration, one power cord can be used to loop a VRX918SP and up to two VRX932LAPs, making power distribution extremely quick. Signal is easily looped thru the VRX918SP to the VRX932LAP's via XLR connection. The VRX918SP delivers the additional utility of an integrated crossover for a complete system set up. DUAL BRIDGED TECHNOLOGY
DBT (Dual Bridged Technology) directly links discrete amplifier channel outputs with each voice-coil in the Differential Drive Woofer, transferring the maximum amount of power in the most efficient way and improving the speakers overall performance. SIMPLIFIED RIGGING
Ease of set up and takedown is critical to ensuring high quality sound reinforcement that meets both time and cost restrictions. JBLs exclusive integral rigging hardware for the VRX900's allows the enclosures to be quickly and securely locked to one another by simply swinging a hinged bar into place and securing it with the included quick release pins.

Wal-Mart Says Technology Unit Co-Heads to Leave Company
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, said the co-heads of its Silicon Valley innovation group, @WalmartLabs, are leaving the company.
Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman, who ran the 200-person unit in San Bruno, California, will leave and take time off from the industry, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said in an e-mailed statement today.
"They stayed for a year and built a really strong culture," Shernaz Daver, a spokesperson for @WalmartLabs, said in a telephone interview. "The rest of the team will stay intact."
Harinarayan and Rajaraman joined Wal-Mart last year when the retailer bought their company, Kosmix, and used it as the foundation for @WalmartLabs, bringing social media expertise to advance the e-commerce business. As Wal-Mart has tried to build up its online operations it has made management changes as executives have departed.
"It's too bad because they are smart guys," Bryan Gildenberg, an analyst with London-based Kantar Retail, said of the departures of Harinarayan and Rajaraman. "You have people in that environment who are serial entrepreneurs and they just aren't in tune to working for a big company," Gildenberg said by telephone today.
Wal-Mart has been trying to bolster its Walmart.com online operation and has had several changes in the senior management of the business in the past year. The company generates less than 2 percent of sales from its online business, according to an estimate from Kantar.
Online Unit
The company named Neil Ashe as president and chief executive officer of Global E-Commerce in January. In September, the company announced that two senior e-commerce executives were leaving the online unit. Eduardo Castro-Wright, a Wal-Mart vice chairman who ran global sourcing operations along with the online business, left the unit and is retiring in July. Wan Ling Martello, Wal-Mart's executive vice president of e-commerce, left the company for Nestle SA.
Daver said the departures of Harinarayan and Rajaraman are not related to last year's management changes. In tech companies, the founders often leave to start new ventures, she said

Wild Thing
Music/Lyrics: Chip Taylor
Vocals: Unknown
Original Artist: The Wild Ones
Original Album: The Arthur Sound (1965)
Debut: 1985-11-23
Historian: Mockingbird Staff
"Wild Thing," the ever-coverable song originally performed by The Wild Ones (though the version by The Troggs is much better known), may seem an unlikely song for Phish to play, but apparently it was done. Mike has spoken of covering this song early on at the curious 11/23/85 show, at which Mike had his oft-described spiritual epiphany. According to Mike, "Wild Thing" had been written on a blackboard the band used, on which fans would write down requests of what they wanted to hear. Perhaps a pre-cursor to the Halloween musical costume days to come, this practice was apparently used at occasional gigs, yielding often curious and bizarre setlists that to this day leave fans scratching their heads.

We all do too much, right? It's hard to stop. We can do it all, and we try. But then we get run down. At least I do, in two ways: overall energy level and creative spark.
To replenish my overall energy level, I need equal measures of sleep and sitting quietly at home not interacting with anyone. Usually, this means I need my nose in a book (fiction, thank you, preferably mystery). That's a sure-fire remedy for me. I know how to solve that problem.
Recapturing my creative drive is more difficult—in part because, while I've been dealing with low energy my whole life, I've only been cultivating my creative side seriously for the last two years. You see, my first book was (as I expect most first books are) a voyage of wonder and discovery. I wrote it as the muse came to me. Rewrites also came to me at the right time.
It wasn't like that for my second book though. To make a long, excruciating story short (you're welcome), book 2 taught me I couldn't wait for the muse to arrive, but I had to go hunt down that fickle bitch and put her to work.
Now I'm facing my third book, nary a plot idea in sight. And I have to get excited about it … but how?
I've been reading new, good mysteries lately, and that's helping stir my competitive juices (not to beat others, but to feel I belong in the community). I'm reading articles about politics and miscreants in auto racing, which is making the plot engine in my brain sputter to life. But I need something major to kick my fingers into gear (my husband is unlikely to role play the muse in the illustration). And I'm hoping that the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention, happening this week in Cleveland, Ohio, will be the ticket.
More than a thousand of us—published authors, aspiring writers, fans, readers, booksellers, groupies, you name it—lovers of mystery and crime fiction will gather to celebrate books and writing. I'll spend three days solid talking about the highs and lows of the writing process with friends and role models. If the past is any judge, I'll come home exhausted, intimidated, and uplifted. With any luck, also energized and ready to tackle my demons new book.
But in case that doesn't work, what suggestions do you have for jump-starting my creativity?

The definition of a "move" has not (to my knowledge) been rigorously established. Clearly the 12 quarter turns are the primary moves, but are the 6 half turns considered moves as well? Some say yes, and some say no. A turn of any face through any angle is one continuous hand motion, so perhaps a 180 degree twist should be considered a single move. On the other hand, if all moves are quarter turns, the problem becomes a bit more tractable (mathematically). For instance, take any scrambled cube and evaluate the parity of its corners, as a permutation within the symmetric group S8. Since each primary move induces an odd permutation on the corners, The answer tells you whether you are an even or an odd number of moves away from start. We don't know how far the cube is from start, since the puzzle has not been completely analyzed, but the parity of the path to start is known. I find this aesthetically pleasing, so I will define a move as a quarter turn of any face.
If you are interested in the underlying mathematics, please read the corresponding chapter of my online book.

IF YOU'RE cruising around the Cincy V-Twin Expo keep your eyes peeled for a customized 2009 Road Glide loaded up with new parts from Arlen Ness.
The bike is a collaboration between Ken's Custom Paint and Graphics and Ness, who contacted the Peoria, Ill., shop about building a bike kitted out with goodies from the Godfather of Custom's new catalog.
Tony Conway, head of marketing for the custom house — whose Web site, pimpmybagger.com, should give you an idea what the specialty is — said Ken's is one of the best vendors in the Midwestern market for Ness products, especially the Wide Tire conversion kits. The shop was opened in 2000 by Ken Steenrod, the former owner of an autobody shop that laid down custom graphics, paint and bodywork on tractor-trailers.
A message on the store's Internet site proclaims it's "Home of the Hot Rod Bagger," and is a "full service custom bike shop. From hard-to-find parts to custom paint. At Ken's Custom Paint and Graphics, If you can think it, we can do it. From dream to reality, get your creative juices flowing and give us a call."
As it is with these things, most of the deal came together at once so now it's run down the wire to have it ready for the show that runs Feb. 7 to Feb. 9 in Cincinnati. "It's been very hectic around here," Conway says.
In addition to going on display at the V-Twin Expo, the bike will also be featured in the national consumer magazines.
