5 Life Lessons Learned from Old School Cartoons
As you may have guessed from my other articles, I spend a lot of time alone, plotting. However, when not plotting, I like to relax with a bit of the old pop culture mental masturbation that I fit into my schedule after the regular, hand-based kind (or warm, damp bread if I'm feeling festive). Though I'll be the first to point out how vacuous much of modern entertainment is and how utterly awful TLC can be (I did, in fact), there's a lot to be said for TV, film and even Internet comedy. People not only need a break from the monotony and horror of real life sometimes, they deserve it. You're not a machine. Go watch Storage Wars.
Entertainment can have value for any number of reasons, but if it can help you learn something while keeping you entertained, well that's even more awesome. I've been learning from TV all my life.
#5. He-Man and Perseverance
I feel sorrow for the legacy of He-Man, who's fallen on hard times in recent years. Once he was Eternia's mightiest hero, and now he's in a bunch of homoerotic YouTube videos dubbed over with a 4 Non Blondes song. Prince Adam, you deserved better.
When I was a kid, He-Man was the ultimate pop culture hero. He transcended mere cartoons and action figures and merged awesomeness in heretofore unheard of ways. One of his action figures actually stunk. It straight up smelled like shit. On purpose. That's the level of caring Mattel had. They said, "Listen, this skunk man action figure could just look like the progeny of a badger and Steve Buscemi, who by the way isn't even a celebrity yet so no one knows who that is, but we demand more. Make him stink." And so it was.
Oh look, a chance to use a picture of Fisto.
He-Man was the prince of an entire planet that consisted of maybe 100 people. Of those 100, 20 were total assholes who worked for Skeletor, who Wikipedia tells me was an evil sorcerer from another dimension and not just a surly local with a severe skin condition. What did Skeletor want? He-Man's power, and maybe the loyalty of those other 80 people. Or money. A cool motorcycle. Skin. Who's to say? He was pretty inept, and most of his plans failed miserably. But he did have one redeeming feature, and that was perseverance.
In point of fact, I didn't learn much from He-Man exactly, but Skeletor was a hell of a villain. Why didn't he ever quit? His extremely loose goal is to take over Castle Grayskull and then somehow control the universe as a result, despite the fact that all Castle Grayskull seems to be able to do is turn Prince Adam into a Chippendale and roid rage his cat. Despite this, he devoted his entire life to his vague goal with only morons to help him, even after losing time and again to the same guy, pretty much the same way. The man (skeleton) never gave up, and that's admirable.
#4. Transformers and Tolerance
Before Michael Bay got his sticky, jam-covered fingers on it, the Transformers franchise was a pretty solid form of children's entertainment. You had robots, from space, that could turn into other shit. That's three awesome things in one. The adult equivalent would be like a taco truck staffed by busty ladies who want to play video games with you. That's adult, right?
The basic story of the Transformers was that the Autobots and the Decepticons were at war on Cybertron, and not even over how all their names were very clumsily robotic in nature and how it should have been obvious to anyone that a group calling themselves Decepticons were about as untrustworthy as a gang called the Rapey Stabbertons. They end up fleeing in search of Energon and continue their war on Earth. More or less.
The terrible toll of interstellar warfare.
Do you know what the difference between an Autobot and a Decepticon is? It's a sticker on your chassis somewhere. In some iterations, robots just change faction all willy-nilly, so there's really no difference at all between them other than that snazzy decal they like to show off. Sure, the villains had either cooler or more whiny voices, but that was about it. You couldn't judge a book by its cover in the Transformers universe, else you might think poor, stupid Grimlock with his dim-witted speech patterns and T. rex exterior was evil. But he wasn't! He was good, man. And similarly, in Beast Wars (I'm such a nerd for knowing this), Dinobot even started as a Decepticon but then traded in his sticker for some Autobot racing stripes. It was just that easy.
The Transformers were willing to accept anyone into the fold, be they car or dinosaur or spider. It didn't matter. Everyone was equal if they were willing to carelessly wage a war on another planet at the drop of a hat for barely any discernible reason whatsoever. And that's a beautiful message.
#3. G.I. Joe and Education
The men and three women of G.I. Joe are a highly trained force of pan-military experts in the fields of all things from ninjaing to scuba diving to being a vaguely homosexual sailor with a parrot. Their mission is to fend off the sinister forces of Cobra, who are possibly terrorists, but are very likely an inexplicably well-funded group of misfit mental patients. They genetically spliced together their own leader from the DNA of various historical monsters, never once pausing to consider why it would be a bad idea to make a person out of the parts of other terrible people. Honestly, who does that besides whoever made the Koch brothers?
I credit G.I. Joe for teaching me the value of getting an education, and not just because of those PSAs they tossed at the end of every episode, but because of the way every character was clearly an idiot. Like mythically retarded, in a way that whole cultures in bygone eras would have told their children about in hushed tones around the fire to keep them in line lest they ever start firing lasers haphazardly at their enemies each and every week with no tangible results ever being achieved.
Just the tip, baby!
No one in G.I. Joe ever accomplished anything that I am aware of. As I mentioned, Cobra managed to clone a leader out of the DNA of winners like Attila the Hun and Vlad the Impaler, which is like building yourself a bicycle seat out of hot forks and a guy who keeps kicking you. But on a more basic level, did anyone on either side ever manage to actually shoot someone with those lasers? Ever? Whole battles took place with both sides just shooting blue and red lasers randomly at the same guys they had fought wars with the previous week and nothing ever happened. I can't even be sure there was property damage.
Had even a single member of the Joe team or Cobra taken the time to learn how to shoot a gun, their entire lives would have been vastly different. One guy, that's all they needed. Both teams even had a ninja assassin in their roster, and still no one ever died. Come on, man.
Like a two-week stint at a firing range and a whole war would have been won by a single guy. If that's not a commentary on the value of education, I don't know what is.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Mitochondrial Dysfunction?
24 Nov
Researchers at Columbia University are recruiting for a trial of four nutrients that may support improved mitochondrial energy production in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) patients. The trial, set to start in February, will be randomized, double blinded, and placebo controlled, and now listed in ClinicalTrials.gov ("Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Correction of Mitochondrial Dysfunction by Conditioning Exercise and Nutraceutical Therapy" ).
They have found that patients with CFS and mitochondrial dysfunction both have elevated lactate levels after exercise and have similar results on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Again, yet another connection to mitochondrial dysfunction! While allegedly "rare" we are seeing so many more connections between mitochondrial dysfunction and other common medical issues!

Pilot who struck Bay Bridge had 3 prior mishaps
US agency investigating
The pilot of the empty oil tanker that grazed the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge had three minor shipping mishaps previously.
California Board of Pilot Commissioners records show that pilot Guy Kleess was at fault for two of the accidents. In one, a dock in the Port of Stockton was damaged in 2009. In the other, a tugboat tending to his ship briefly grounded in the Port of Richmond in 2010.
Kleess was held blameless in a third accident when a ship he was piloting briefly grounded in the Sacramento River.
A call to Kleess' San Francisco home Tuesday went unanswered.
Board chief Allen Garfinkle said both previous mishaps blamed on Kleess were considered minor and that the pilot is held in high regard.

Maybe you know someone like Martin Redcay; someone with an indomitable spirit; someone who is a little bigger than life; someone who doesn't give up even when the odds are stacked against him and his physical body begins to fail. But I'll bet you don't know anyone quite like my friend. Let me tell you about Martin, because I want him to be remembered and honored.
His early life was tough and he left home as a teenager to make his way in the world. He somehow ended up working with horses, and proved a natural at it. He spent much of his working life training and grooming horses at racetracks and horse farms. At one point he was kicked unconscious by a horse, and that may have contributed to his health problems later in life.
When he left the horse business, Martin and his wife, Barbara, moved to Roscoe, which is considered the world capital of fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout. He became a skilled fly fisherman and supported his family by serving as a fishing guide and by teaching others how to fish and tie flies. He was welcomed into a fraternity of fellow fishermen who built bamboo fly fishing rods and tied flies. They served as guides to the fabled trout streams of the Catskills, which drew fishermen from all over the world.
Leaving that part of their life behind them, Martin and Barbara moved to Clarence to live in her family home. For several years, he felt lonely here and missed his colleagues and friends in Roscoe. But eventually they developed a circle of friends and neighbors in Clarence. I am proud to be one of them.
Just before he turned 80, Martin had major heart surgery that involved a quadruple bypass and a valve replacement. When I visited him in the hospital, he told me and his wife that he wanted to have a blow-out 80th birthday party two months hence with 100 guests. Barbara and I exchanged glances, sharing our thoughts that he was being far too ambitious. "We'll see, Martin," she said. Then he turned to me and said, "I want to take you fly fishing in September down in Roscoe." Whatever Barbara and I might have said in response, we were certainly humoring him.
He did have that blow-out 80th birthday party and even had a special barbecue pit built for the occasion. No matter that the concrete had not set properly and exploded the day of the party, splattering Martin with hot pieces of concrete; the party was a big success. And the three of us did indeed set off one day last September for Roscoe, and fished the streams that he loved. No matter that Martin had to use a walker to fish; it also was a big success. It was my introduction to fly fishing and I fell in love with it, though we didn't catch a fish during our three days there. Martin regretted that, but he turned to me and said, "That's why, Bob, they call it fishing and not catching."
We had plans to go fishing again in the spring, but Martin's health worsened over the winter. He had a couple of falls and ended up back in the hospital with a heart attack. He suffered a stroke, and never came home. Barbara plans to scatter his ashes in the streams near Roscoe, and I will accompany her. Martin will finally be going home to the place he loved best.
In the Bible, when Jesus invited Simon Peter and his brother Andrew to put down their fishing nets and join him as disciples, he said to them, "Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." So I figure that fishermen might have a special place in heaven. I think Martin could teach the angels a thing or two about fly fishing.

Focus: New paradigms for the nuclear energy sector
A wave of innovation is sweeping across the nuclear sector – so much so that it is difficult for financiers to pick winners at this stage. But the biggest innovation may come in the form of a new investment paradigm that involves private investors much more than in the past, writes specialised nuclear energy reporter Dan Yurman in the May issue of World Energy Focus, the World Energy Council's magazine.

NIAGARA FALLS – The City Council has put off a decision on whether to transfer a downtown parcel for a proposed $25.3 million mixed-use development project.
City lawmakers Monday voted, 3-2, to table a proposal to sell 310 Rainbow Blvd., a city-owned parcel now used mostly as a parking lot, as part of a proposal from the Hamister Group of Williamsville to build a five-story building with a hotel, apartments and retail space.
Monday night's vote was not unexpected, as Council Chairman Glenn A. Choolokian said last week the three-member Council majority had concerns about whether the city would be getting a fair price for the value of the Rainbow Boulevard parcel, as well as what he characterized as a lack of information provided to lawmakers throughout the development negotiations.
Choolokian asserted that the Council is working in the best interest of taxpayers, families and businesses in the city.
They are "all we care about," Choolokian said.
Choolokian and Councilmen Samuel F. Fruscione and Robert A. Anderson Jr. make up the three-member majority of the five-member Council.
Earlier Monday, USA Niagara Development Corp., the Niagara Falls subsidiary of Empire State Development, formally approved a $2.75 million subsidy for the project by a 4-0 vote.
Developers also plan to pursue a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency.
After Monday's Council vote, Cheryl A. Green, senior vice president and general counsel for the Williamsville-based Hamister Group, said company officials "respect the process" lawmakers are following, adding that the company "is very excited to be able to invest" in Niagara Falls.
Under the pending agreement between USA Niagara and the Hamister Group, the city would receive $100,000 for the parcel. Under the original framework of the deal, the city was not going to receive any money for the land.
The city took possession of the parcel from the Niagara County Community College Foundation, which received it as part of a donation from Cordish Co., which also donated the former Rainbow Centre as part of the college's Culinary Arts Institute project.
USA Niagara President and CEO Christopher Schoepflin, who called the parcel at 310 Rainbow "woefully underdeveloped," said that in the bigger picture, about $60 million in investments will be made in the city in exchange for the parcel and the $2.5 million the city provided for the culinary center development.
USA Niagara received seven responses to a request for proposals for the site. The largest offer for the land among those proposals was $216,000, but that proposal also requested more public funding, Schoepflin said.
Mayor Paul A. Dyster said he plans to try to reassure the Hamister Group about its prospects in Niagara Falls, but he wants the city to be careful not to create obstacles that make the Hamister Group "go in a different direction."
Monday afternoon, the head of Empire State Development said the city should think about any message it sends to developers.
Kenneth Adams, president and CEO of the state agency, said projects that receive public support from Empire State Development typically spend $6 in private funding for every $1 in public money.
In this case, $9 would be spent in private funding for every $1 in public funds.
"What's the message Niagara Falls wants to send to the investment community?" Adams said. "I think it's legitimate to have all questions – obviously, elected officials need to have their questions addressed – but we have to think about what's the message we're saying. What is the message we're saying to highly qualified, experienced private developers – whether Hamister or somebody else – ready to invest $23 million in the heart of Niagara Falls, the first project of its type in 40 years?"
When asked about Adams' comments, Choolokian questioned the message the state has sent developers in the past, saying he believes the state "has a record of failure" if one looks at state investments on Third Street and Old Falls Street in the Falls.

quote: Wow, way to ignore what actually happened, bro. Mumbarak was not voted out of office, he was physically dragged out of office, beaten and killed. To say the muslim brotherhood was elected is a joke. They cast their vote for the only choice they had but they would have assumed power one way or the other.
quote: Seems to be? No, he is. There is no uncertainty there. I didn't dodge anything - but you are ignoring the fact that gas was lower under bush than under obama on average for the duration of their respective presidencies. You were also incorrect about what a president can or cannot do to affect the price of gas by saying that the president has no control over the prices.
quote: Far right political ideology DOES equate to anarchy and that was what you accused Fox of representing. The left-wing media in this country (and our government) is already exhibiting the characteristics of a far left ideology - socialism. The media does not report on issues they should be covering, the do not ask Obama tough questions or demand accountability - they happily play along with whatever BS the whitehouse wants them to. This is propaganda. The only thing missing is a dictator who tells us he is "scaling down the size of government" when in reality he is consolidating power for himself. Fox News provides coverage that leans right (which is NOT a bad thing) and is fairly moderate. If you perceive it to be "far right" it's not because they're anarchist, it's because you are too far left.
quote: First of all, any US citizen can run for office. It falls upon them to raise the money needed to get their message out because they are essentially ADVERTISING. Your political message, as a candidate, is competing with other messages for airtime on TV & Radio, as well as ad impressions on websites. This market determines the relative costs of running for office. The larger your audience the more expensive it becomes to reach them...so what are you suggesting here? That anyone running for office has their expenses paid for them by taxpayers? LOL
quote: Your quip about free speech is a joke. The internet has made it incredibly easy for any m0ron with a computer to really take advantage of their 1st amendment rights AND reach a large audience. In the past the only way to be heard was to be lucky enough to be published in a newspaper OR write your own book and pay to have it distributed.
quote: You are not making a strong case for europeans being anything other than lefties with a lot of what you're saying...in fact Obama's policies probably come across to you as being on the right.
quote: Mubarak was forced to resign, and was then arrested and prosecuted for the killing of innocent civilians.
quote: Again, a President has no affect on Oil prices, even if Obama were to "Drill Baby Drill" the Oil produced would be sold on the open market, it wouldn't have some magical influence on bringing prices down in the USA.
quote: Market forces and a conglomerate of Oil producing nations dictate the prices.
quote: Supply and demand doesn't even come into it, it's a rigged game.
quote: Why do you keep equating far right ideology with Anarchy?
quote: To the outside observer Fox exists as the Media Arm of the RNC. Not once have I seen a positive story on Fox about the left.
quote: Again, they tread where others dare not and this is a good thing, politicians should be held accountable by both sides of your media, but that's where your problems lie, your "News" outlets have huge political bias.
quote: When this happens they cease to become News outlets and only mouthpieces for their respective parties.
quote: Wishful thinking comes to mind with this one.The chances of your message being heard in a sea of the Internet are fat to slim.
quote: While some of Europe has gone overboard on the socialism, some countries have not. Again, I'm a fiscal conservative and open on the social issues, were all adults right. quote: A lot of what Obama has done could be construed as continuing with a lot of what Bush did. Continue the wars, keep Gitmo open, run up the deficit. Bush is often maligned by the media, as it is "cool" to do to anyone who is not on the left, but he did deal with 9/11 quite well. He did fend off a major recession coming off of Clinton with the dot-com bust. He did ensure that both businesses and people were prosperous for the majority of his presidency.What Obama failed to do is address the immediate problems facing America - instead he spent his time and energy primarily pushing Obamacare through. He said he would cut the deficit in half in 2008; he added $6 trillion to it and that number is still going up. quote: It makes me laugh when Americans slag off Greece etc, have you looked at what your deficits are and are projected to be. Most Americans don't want to end up like Greece or Spain, and we certainly do not want to become a welfare state like Sweden.

Thanks Kelly! :)ReplyDelete
Wow, that looks and sounds really tasty! Thank you for all of your creative recipes. I fix many of them for my boyfriend, and he loves the food, so I'll be sure to try this one out, too!ReplyDelete
- Jennifer L.July 8, 2009 at 2:51 PM
You often speak of a gluten-free French bread--do you make it, or is it something that you buy?ReplyDelete
Hi, I'm visiting from MBC. Great blog.ReplyDelete
I love mushroom soup but have not made it in so long since the old recipe I had was made with dairy. I can't wait to try this!ReplyDelete
Thanks - plus I love the flowers to decorate it.
T - Thanks, glad to hear you two are enjoying the recipes! :)ReplyDelete
Jennifer - I make the bread from scratch in a French Bread pan, it is a recipe I created last fall. My kids go nuts over it! :)
Veronica Lee - Thanks for stopping by!
Deb - Oh good, I bet you will enjoy this one - I don't even miss the dairy here the soup is so good. :)
Thanks for all your work Kelly! Here's a recipe for GF Cream of Chicken soup from my book called COUNTRY BEANS that I'm sure you'll love:ReplyDelete
1 cup white bean flour (Navy Beans)
2 Tbl. chicken soup base (I like Better Than Bouillon)
6 cups water
Grind white beans (Navy or small white, or Red Lentil) into flour with your wheat grinder (or buy from Bob's Red Mill).
In a medium saucepan combine the all ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and cook 3 minutes. For a creamier soup (more like Campbell's) pour into blender and process for 1 minute on high. Serves 4-6.
Optional --- add 1 c. cooked diced chicken. Can also add cooked celery, potatoes, carrots, and onions for a full meal soup.
I added this to my folder of recipes to make - we love mushrooms. I am not a fan of heavy cream soups but this version isn't heavy at all. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Rita - Your soup recipe sounds great too, thanks for sharing. :)ReplyDelete
Amy - You're right, this version isn't "heavy" - it has just the right amount of creaminess with a bold mushroom flavor. I am sure you will enjoy it! :)
I can't wait to make this for my Mom when she comes to visit. She is going to LOVE it! Thank you! Also, what about that french bread recipe? Do you have it posted? I have tried a few (I even bought the special french bread loaf pan) and they have all been horrible.ReplyDelete
FoodAllergyMom - Thanks, I am sure you gals will enjoy this soup. I am saving the bread recipe for my next book. What a bummer that other recipes have not turned out.ReplyDelete
-Ali :)
- Jennifer L.July 15, 2009 at 10:59 AM
Will this yummy French Bread recipe appear in your next book maybe?ReplyDelete
I added sliced burdock root - which added a nutty, peppery taste- in with the mushrooms. I pureed only about 2/3 and left the rest to have something to crunch on. Very good.ReplyDelete
This is cooking right now and it smells great - I don't have any Herbamare (not even sure what it is...) but it's so grounding. I tied the rosemary & thyme in a boquet garni because I'm too tired to chop them up.ReplyDelete
I don't have any raw chestnuts but I have to run out later and will pick some up and finish the soup tonight. Really want to try the dairy-free version.
Just an update - I finally got the cashews, not chestnuts (I've got brain-fog today!) and this is the best cream of mushroom soup I've ever had. I'm going to eat it for dinner (right now!) and even thought about hiding it from my husband, but instead I'm going to pack it in his lunch tomorrow. He'll be so happy he won't know what to do.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Ali.
Do you have suggestions for substitute for the sweet rice flour? Would arrowroot starch work in equal amounts?ReplyDelete
Also, have you ever tried this soup with soaking the cashews for a few hours ahead of time?
Hi Ali,ReplyDelete
This looks great! I love mushrooms, but hate the heaviness that dairy cream imparts. Have you ever tried this soup with soaking the cashews for a few hours ahead of time?
Also, do you have suggestions for substitute for the sweet rice flour? Would arrowroot starch work in equal amounts? Thanks!
- AnonymousFebruary 7, 2010 at 10:58 AM
Would potato starch work instead of sweet rice flour to make this recipe kosher for Passover? How much would you use? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh - this is so good! My dad is dairy/beef/rice allergic, so I subbed quinoa flour for the rice flour. Also, our local co-op was out of these mushrooms, so I used portabellas instead.ReplyDelete
Holy smokes. This was delish! It also got the stamp of approval from my generally-non-food-adventurous mother. Thank you!!!
I am very thankful for your blog and dairy free - gluten free recipes as I am on an elimination diet and it is hard to find appealing recipes.ReplyDelete
This one looks yummy.
I got brown rice flour instead of sweet rice. Is it going to work the same?
I made the cream of mushroom soup today and it turned out amazing! I made a couple of changes that I thought you might like. I didn't have cashews for the "cream". Instead, after I sauteed the mushroom mixture I added about 3 TB of garbanzo bean flour and made a roux. Then I added the broth and let it simmer. This made the soup thick and gave a nice creaminess. I finished it with a some Bragg's Liquid Amino's to taste. Wow! It was good! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Finally made this amazing recipe to reintroduce mushrooms after years avoiding them. SO YUMMY. The cashews make it perfectly creamy, I love it! I hope I get to make it many many more times! Thank you Ali.ReplyDelete
Would this work as a substitute for canned cream of mushroom soup in a casserole? I have dairy and soy allergies, and I miss my casseroles! Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Angie- it might work, though I've never tried it. Let me know how it goes. :)Delete
- FyreseerAugust 26, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Ali, you should try it with coconut milk. There's a Thai restaurant down the street from me that makes a coconut soup with mushrooms in it, and it is awesome. I, too, am looking for replacements for canned soups to use to make casseroles with (not supposed to have gluten or dairy here).ReplyDelete
You are my go to site when I need something tasty. Thank you so much for sharing your works of art!ReplyDelete
I made this soup today for use in a green bean casserole. My non allergic son tasted it and said, "now this tastes like Thanksgiving!" Hooray!
I didn't have sweet rice flour or crimini mushrooms, so I subbed tapioca starch and portabella. I also made a roux to thicken it and simmered it to reduce it more so it would cling to the green beans. Topped it off with caramelized onions. Yummy. Thanks again!
- bikestoworkDecember 16, 2012 at 8:35 PM
I made this with some chicken broth that I simmered for 6 hours yesterday. The soup was so thick, creamy and satisfying! I will definitely add this to my repertoire of week night meals. Thanx for another great recipe!ReplyDelete
- MichelleFebruary 8, 2013 at 8:49 PM
Can I substitute the rice flour with almond flour? Or coconut flour? We are grain free... It sounds delicious :)ReplyDelete
Oh, I LOVE this recipe. I made it for our Thursday soup night and it was amazing. I am on a strict diet though, and so I couldn't use the olive oil to cook with. I subbed pasture-raised butter. And, I just left out the sweet rice flour as I can't have grains. This was the best mushroom soup I've ever had. And my girls, 1.5yr and 2.5yr ate it up! Thank you so much!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 28, 2013 at 3:02 PM
Holy smokes, was this GOOD! The only things I changed: I used a mixture of mushrooms and used chick pea flour rather than rice flour. I threw baby kale in the blender with the soup. Truly fantastic.ReplyDelete

The Choice of Law Against Terrorism
Mary Ellen O'Connell
Notre Dame Law School
August 5, 2010
Journal of National Security Law and Policy, Vol. 4, p. 343, 2010
Notre Dame Legal Studies Paper No. 10-20
The Obama administration has continued to apply the wartime paradigm first developed by the Bush administration after 9/11 to respond to terrorism. In cases of trials before military commissions, indefinite detention, and targeted killing, the U.S. has continued to claim wartime privileges even with respect to persons and situations far from any battlefield. This article argues that both administrations have made a basic error in the choice of law. Wartime privileges may be claimed when armed conflict conditions prevail as defined by international law. These privileges are not triggered by declarations or policy preferences.

LOCKPORT – The city Planning Board gave the go-ahead Monday to expansion plans at two restaurants.
Molinaro's Pizzeria and Cafe will be purchasing a piece of a city-owned parking lot next to its location at Walnut and Pine streets to accommodate a 780-square-foot addition.
Timothy Arlington of Apex Contracting said the addition onto the west side of the restaurant will hold a new takeout and bakery area. The existing takeout area will be converted into additional restaurant seating, Arlington said.
Mayor Michael W. Tucker said the purchase price for the 70-by-120-foot section of the parking lot is to be negotiated.
In addition, Molinaro's plans a new facade, a "Tuscany" look, according to Arlington.
"We're getting rid of the '70s look with the mansard [roof]," he said.
Meanwhile, Peter Calieri, owner of Davison Road Inn, received the green light for an expansion of the existing outdoor patio. A roof and an outdoor bar will be constructed, and the exterior stairs to the basement will be enclosed. Calieri, who also owns the Village Eatery down the street on Davison Road, said he's investing $50,000 in the patio project.
He said outdoor music must stop at 10 p.m. by city law, but the outdoor bar can remain open until 1 a.m. during the week and 2 a.m. on weekends. But things shouldn't get too rowdy.
"The bulk of our business is a 35-to-60 [-year-old] clientele," Calieri said.
In other matters, the board approved the site plan for Windsor Village, a business incubator to be placed in a former flower shop at Prospect and Stevens streets.
Four boutique shops are envisioned, along with a reopening of owner Kathy O'Keefe's Noah's Ark toy store and play center, which was located in the Bewley Building on Market Street until it closed at the end of 2011.
The complex, last used three years ago by Wilhelm & Ashe Floristry, originally comprised three barns and a cinder-block building. "I want it to look historic and old, like a storybook," O'Keefe told the board.
Davison Road Optical received the Planning Board's approval to add four more parking spaces along its driveway, and City Director of Engineering and Public Works Norman D. Allen was allowed to subdivide the 10.49 acres he owns on Roby Street, creating a separate 150-by-100-foot lot for his house.

Police in Portsmouth have arrested a man on nine counts of stalking.
Police said a judge last month ordered Kenneth Kimber, 34, not to have contact with a specific witness to his pending criminal case. He was out on bail on three counts of certain uses of a computer, five counts of indecent exposure, attempted aggravated sexual assault and interference with custody.
Police said Kimber violated the order when he had contact with the witness nine times in the past few weeks.
Kimber is scheduled to be arraigned on May 6.
Police said Kimber, a former Portsmouth High School information technology employee, allegedly sent sexually explicit photos of himself to a girl while soliciting her for sex.

The Hatters are scheduled to play the next eight games at home, starting with a three-game set against Atlantic Sun Conference leading North Florida, before closing the regular season at Florida Gulf Coast.
Stetson (21-23, 10-8) has battled its way into fifth place in the A-Sun standings, just four games behind North Florida (33-12, 14-4) entering the weekend series. The Hatters have made their move up the standings by winning four straight league series despite still going winless in series openers.
Friday's series opener with the Ospreys is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday's second game is also scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. start with Sunday's series finale set for a 1 p.m. start. All three games from the weekend series will be available on HatterVision and Asun.tv with Ryan Rouse calling the action.
For the Hatters to break out of their Friday funk, they will have to find a way to score some runs for starting pitcher Josh Powers (1-6, 3.42). The sophomore right-hander is winless in his last six starts and in his six Friday starts he is 1-4 despite posting a 2.70 ERA.
The biggest problem for Powers this year has been a lack of run support. In 10 starts during the 2012 season, Powers got an average of 5.3 runs per game in support. This year, that number has dropped to just 3.3 runs per game. The Hatters are hitting just .248 in games Powers has started this year and he has been hurt by the 14 unearned runs that have scored in his starts.
To break into the win column against the Ospreys, Powers will have to out-pitch UNF senior left-hander Tommy Organ (5-2, 3.22). In his 11 starts this year he has allowed as many as four earned runs just twice, but he has pitched no more than 6.2 innings in any of his starts. In fact, he has failed to get out of the sixth inning in seven starts. This will be his first career appearance against Stetson.
Organ, and the rest of the UNF pitching staff, which has been without three of its top arms for much of the year, has benefitted greatly from the potent Osprey offensive attack. UNF is hitting a robust .325 this year, which ranks second in the nation behind only New Mexico. That number jumps to .358 in A-Sun play.
The Ospreys are in the top 20 offensively in a total of seven offensive categories, including first in total hits (549). By comparison, Stetson ranks 156th in the nation with 390 hits and ranks in the top 100 in just one offensive category – sacrifice bunts (95th).
Individually, the Ospreys' top 10 hitters are all batting better than .300 this season. That group is led by senior second baseman Joe Wielbruda with a .365 average. Wielbruda was joined on the preseason All-Conference team by senior catcher Corey Bass (.333) and junior outfielder Tyler Marincov (.314), who rank sixth and seventh on the UNF team, respectfully, in hitting.
But the Ospreys do more than hit. UNF also leads the A-Sun in team ERA at 2.97. Like their offensive production, the Ospreys have gotten better in league play, producing a 2.87 ERA against A-Sun competition.
UNF comes into the series at Stetson having won five straight and 11 of 12 games overall. The Ospreys need either one win in the series, or one loss by Lipscomb to Northern Kentucky, to clinch a berth in the A-Sun Tournament for the first time since 2010.
The Hatters will continue to rely on producing runs the hard way, by using small ball to scratch across runs when they can. Stetson continues to be led offensively by freshman first baseman Patrick Mazeika, who picked right back up after his 21-game hit streak was stopped and has hit safely in six straight games.
Mazeika leads the A-Sun, and is 10th in the nation, in hitting with a .408 overall batting average. Against league competition, that number jumps to .478. In fact, the Hatters' top five hitters in league play are either freshmen or sophomores.
It was sophomore Darby McCormick who stepped up in the series last weekend at Lipscomb, getting five hits in nine at bats in the series while scoring three runs and driving in three more.
On Saturday it will be junior left-hander Austin Perez (6-1, 2.52) who will take the mound for the Hatters looking to continue his run of success in league play. In six A-Sun starts Perez is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA.
Perez will be opposed by UNF senior right-hander Nick Albritton (4-6, 4.39), who made one relief appearance against the Hatters in 2012 and allowed two runs on three hits in just two-thirds of an inning.
Sunday's game will see UNF send senior left-hander Michael Renner (8-0, 1.58) to the mound in search of his ninth straight win. Last year Stetson touched him for 11 hits in a 10-2 Hatters victory. Stetson's starting pitcher for the series finale is to be determined.

Fueled by wins at the no. 1, no. 3, and no. 5 positions, Stetson defeated Georgia State 3-2 Sunday and completed a weekend sweep at the Ron Jon Beach N Boards Fest in Cocoa Beach.
The Hatters (6-0) won all four matches by the same 3-2 count to remain undefeated on the season.
"There was some great competition this weekend and I am so proud of our team for fighting hard and finding a way to win," interim head coach Meghan Bryant said. "We had to not only fight great teams, but the ultimate elements in sand volleyball. The strength and will to win that this team has was proven over this weekend, and it's just another step forward towards our bigger goal of being A-Sun champions. I couldn't be prouder."
Both the four and five seeds battled through tough three-set matches to start the contest, and Tiffany Creamer and Kristin Lind pulled out a 2-1 victory at the number five spot to give Stetson its first point.
At the three seed, Savannah Byl and Catherine Coston remained undefeated on the season with a 21-14, 21-19 triumph.
Stetson clinched the match when the top-seeded pairing of Kaley Melville and Kaylee Anderson posted a 21-18, 21-13 victory.
The Hatters will start Atlantic Sun Conference play on Friday as they host Jacksonville and Florida Gulf Coast at the Stetson sand volleyball courts.

PAS Needs to Balance Its Ambition With Political Reality
Precisely, it won by not taking the driver's seat. The party had rightly decided to focus on its Malay heartland. As a result, it was rewarded with leadership of two additional states - Perak and Kedah. This is a formula the party should stick with.
The party's ambition to promote its Islamic governance as the backbone of federal government has been quite consistent. In the recent general assembly, the leadership had offered a similar role to the PR coalition if it wins power in the 13th general election.
There is nothing wrong in the party's ambition if both the coalition and the multiracial society can accept PAS' leadership. However, sadly, the party did very little to explain how it can provide a leadership to this racially and religiously diverse nation if segments of the party continue to speak out harshly against its competitors e.g. Sisters-in-Islam.
According to Awang Hadi, Islam does not teach Muslims to shun others although they may have opposing views with the Islamic party. This statement must be consistently applied to all parties, political or otherwise.
Second, the party leadership had maintained its support for free and open economy. It would have been useful if the party had made this stand clearer. What is tolerable within its own definition of 'free and open'? In the past, its youth movement had protested against various concerts e.g. Rihanna, Pussycat Dolls and others which were seen as harmless and purely entertainment by Malaysian youths.
Would it be able to tolerate establishments such as the Berjaya Sports Toto & 4D, the Genting Highlands Casino and others?
PAS' intention to become a national party and to secure the national leadership cannot be simply measured by the mere 20 to 30 thousand non-Muslim supporters in its supporters' club. Its readiness has to be measured by its political ideology, mindset and stand on various issues and topics which may not be consistent with Islam.
A PAS which has been exposed to the possibility of winning federal power may want to sound as populist as it can be to fulfill its ambition but the bubble can be pricked by its own inconsistency and impatience.
PAS wants its Islamic values to be accepted by non-Muslims as universal values which are fair, just and equitable. The party can still strive to achieve this noble objective even without first capturing the federal government. If achievable, it will give both PAS and Islam a good name.
Again, the party needs to show some consistency here. Its party president wants to discuss the possibility of a unity government with UMNO. Apart from fulfilling the party's ambition to share national power, those who had voted for the PR coalition and PAS cannot find an acceptable reason for the party to pursue this unity talk.
Has UMNO changed? Has UMNO put all the vices e.g. money politics, power abuse etc. behind it? Has UMNO become less racist and more accommodative? Can this unity talk help to make the government less authoritarian by abolishing all draconian laws?
It is up to Hadi to convince his own members and Malaysian voters of his plan to pursue the unity talk.
I was asked by journalists if PAS can win national power by alienating the PR. I responded by saying that it would be impossible for any party which is race or religious based to win national power on its own.
Without the BN, it is nearly impossible for UMNO to become so dominant as it is now. It is given that UMNO or PAS cannot govern by itself without the support of multiracial Malaysians regardless of how insignificant some communities are in numbers. The support of minorities in the first-past-the-post electoral system is very important if voters of major communities are split.
PAS resurgence is a work in progress. It is best for the party to conduct some serious soul searching before taking a shot at national power. Beneath the beard and turban, can its political ideology, mindset and stand capture the imagination of globalizing Malaysia? Can the party appeal to the middle ground?
It is best for the party to keep check of its own ambition. The lure of power is very strong. The temptation had destroyed many parties and coalition. PAS should learn from its 1999 victory and 2004 setback.
14 comments:
I just can't get it; in Perak, umno has stolen the state right under the nose of PAS MB Nizar. Then, you hear of PAS top leaders having talks with umno to share power. Pardon me, but isn't this pit-bottom stupidity? A thief stole something from you. You reported the case to authorities (courts) who tells you that what was stolen belongs to the thief, not you. Now you want to talk about sharing with the thief? Have you been charmed or what? Or giddy for power and forgot the real aspirations of the citizens for freedom, justice and equality? Will Pas be hoodwinked by umno? Again? Or worse, will Pas now hoodwink the people who voted for them in March 08? Pas was rejected by many in the past. Pas must remember why they were voted by the people? Are you going to hoodwink the people again?
Hi all,
With all the HOO HAA revolving around the so-called 'Unity Govt.' issue within PAS, it's only CORRECT to conclude the following:
"After all these years, PAS had finally woke up to reality. PAS have recently discovered that UMNO is still the best choice as partners. Partnership with DAP & PKR will only lead PAS to one destination & it's nonetheless......HELL!!!"
- CK said...
i felt somehow comforted to see there're still people who have the right mind. i am starting to feel the same about PAS too.
- Bangsa Cina Malaysia said...
masalah bukan dengan PAS tetapi ketua mereka Hadi Awang dan timbalan nya.
pinggirkan mereka dan PAS akan diterima oleh semua lapisan Masyarakat.
whether it is pure greed for power or sheer stupidity, umno has emerged as winner in casting a cloud of doubt over PAS.
as it is, as one goes thru comments and whatsoever, they are greatly disappointed in pas.
pas has definitely not learnt the lesson of being used and dumped back then in the 70s when umno was weak and needed pas to support itself.
i seriously wonder how the results would be if najib were to call for a snap general election in the near future; with those pro-umo in pas continue to harp on 'unity gomen'.
as for me, the answr is easy; i will spoil my vote!!! but if a 3-corner fight, then my vote will surely go to dap or pkr. and if the eventual winner is bn? so be it as long as pas is taught a lesson!
anyway, i don't have the time to even follow up on this issue as it is rather clear that pas is not sincere in its partnership in pr.
if pas doesn't realise that the people are ready to teach them a lesson should they betray the people's trust, they will be doomed!
- kopitelp16 said...
PAS must understand that the PR will never work with UMNO and being a part of PR must accept this. Otherwise, pull out!
I think PAS is trying to be kingmaker here. If they sensed that being with UMNO gives them more leverage, then they might prepare to ditch DAP and PKR. If they do so, I'm sure come next GE, PAS will suffer greatly.
To me, PAS is just stepping into a trap laid by UMNO to create suspicion among the PKR. Only 1 winner here and it ain't PAS!
As the saying goes, "You can't beat them, JOIN THEM."
And PAS is at its best right now to join UMNO since UMNO needs PAS for its own survival. PAS knows that and so even though it has all along tried so hard to show it is more Islamic than UMNO, now with power within its grasp, it is prepared to tolerate corruption and grand theft by sleeping with UMNO.
But let the small fries beware. Soon those who steal and rob albeit on a lesser scale (as compared to PAS new bed-partner, UMNO) will have their hands chopped off.
As for the future of this country, well, young Malaysians will cease English classes as Arabic will be the new foreign language to be taught in schools. And after banning Sisters-in-Islam, all Malaysian women will be required to wear veil and outer garment or they shall be whipped as they deserve.
Of course, PAS will deny all this but secretly they will think, "Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey."
- telur dua said...
Hadi Awang and Nasharuddin must first and foremost remember the name of their Party and what it stands for.
One can't worship Allah and sleep with Syaitan at the same time.
- nckeat88 said...
PAS never change from the beginning. They use Islam to acheive their political objective and use religion to conquer others and shut up the opponents. They are the seed of Taliban and should not be given a chance to rule even to the extend of voting the corrupted BN if no other choice available.
- Malaysian said...
Saya amat bersetuju dengan pendapat Datuk Seri Nik Abdul Aziz.
Saya undi PAS pada pilihan raya yang lepas kerana saya tidak undi untuk UMNO.
Saya undi PAS kerana saya ingin beri peluang kepada PAS supaya untuk memerintah dengan saksama.
Sekiranya PAS ingin bersama dengan UMNO yang mengamalkan perkauman saya tidak teragak-agak untuk tidak mengundi PAS pada pilihan raya yang akan datang!
Malaysian Come First
- romerz said...
60 questions which need truthful answers.
Non-Malays are desperately looking at PAS as a better alternative to UMNO. In doing so they are closing their eyes to the "real" PAS - the majority are myopic, racists and extremists.
PAS is day-dreaming. They are in a world of their own. It dreams of forming an alliance with UMNO with the sole purpose of forming an Inslamic state.
In the interests of the non-Malays is irrelevant.
Irony - an alliance with the devil to promote Islam!!!!!!

Hi Khoo,
First, I would like to congrats u for your wonderful blog and information.

MORGANTOWN - The young West Virginia women's basketball team has completed its regular season with 20 or more wins for the seventh time in nine years.
"I think it's great," coach Mike Carey said after Monday night's 60-42 victory over old rival Pitt at the Coliseum. That capped a season sweep of the series.
As a result, the Mountaineers are 21-8 overall and 11-5 in the Big East. After a day off, they'll begin preparations today for the conference tournament.
Article Photos
West Virginia has earned a first-round bye and won't play until Saturday.
"I'm very proud of our girls," said Carey, who's in his 11th year here. "This team started the season believing in defense, and each player knows her role and what she needed to do.
"And I think Jessica Harlee, Asya Bussie and Ayana Dunning took over leadership roles and everybody else settled in where they were supposed to be."
Natalie Burton, a 6-foot-5 center, is the only senior on this year's squad. "She's a great young lady and will do well when she leaves us," Carey said. "We will miss her.
"If someone told me before the season started that we'd be 21-8 and 11-5 in the Big East now, I'd say they were crazy.
"Like every coach, I think that maybe we won four or five games that we shouldn't have."
Making this team's achievements all the more impressive is the fact that it upset four nationally ranked teams, including No. 2 Notre Dame 65-63 in South Bend, Ind.
The other ranked victims were No. 25 UCLA 65-54, No. 14 Louisville 65-50, and No. 21 Rutgers 60-50.
Those four bring the number of wins against ranked teams under Carey's guidance to 20. He owns more than 500 wins as a college head coach.
"Give my players a lot of credit," Carey stated. "Again, I'm very proud of them.
"I told them we did what we had to do in the second half against Pitt (after an 18-all tie in the first half). We can't play that way in the tournaments.
"We know that."
Carey continued, "I just want to say that this time last year we were worried about making it to the NCAA Tournament. This year at this time I feel very comfortable that we are in.
"For losing so many seniors and 80-some percent of our offense last year, you've gotta give these players a lot of credit."

On the second Sunday in May, moms across the country are deservedly showered with attention on Mother's Day. Unfortunately, while most moms are being treated to breakfast in bed or having flowers delivered to them, tens of thousands of women spend their Mother's Day living in shelters due to homelessness or as a result of escaping from domestic violence.
To aid mothers in crisis, Two Men and a Truck created its Movers for Moms program, a community-based initiative working with neighborhood schools and organizations – such as La Petite Academy locally – to collect essential items to donate to women in shelters on Mother's Day. The program began as a statewide effort in Michigan in 2008 and will run in 31 states in 2013 to support more than 100 women shelters, including My Sister's House in North Charleston.
As the program continues its rapid growth, expanding from 18 franchise locations to 113 in the last three years, the moving company hopes to surpass its 2012 collection of 115,000 items by donating more than 200,000 supplies to community shelters assisting mothers in need this spring.
"Statistics show that one in four women in America will be the victim of domestic violence and these women often find themselves without basic resources, such as soap and shampoo," said Randy Shacka, president of Two Men and a Truck. "It's heartbreaking to think of moms forced to live in shelters and potentially having to go without essential items like toothpaste. Movers for Moms helps stock the shelves of wonderful shelters that are doing phenomenal work so that they have the materials they need on hand when victims arrive. We are grateful to our community partners for supporting the collection."
The local Two Men and a Truck company invites additional community partners to join the cause in 2013 in hopes of eclipsing its collection objective. Schools and other organizations interested in supporting the Movers for Moms program should visit www.twomenandatruck.com to locate the franchise nearest them.
Follow Movers for Moms online at www.facebook.com/MoversforMoms or @MoversforMoms.
With more than 230 locations, Two Men and a Truck is the largest franchised moving company in North America. For more information or to schedule a move, contact 877-263-6444 or visit www.twomenandatruck.com.

PFS Rapid Review – Her
By Justin Dorsey
Spike Jonze's Her gives new meaning to computer love. Or does it? In the movie, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), an unofficial divorcee, falls in love with his operating system, Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johanson). The film is poetically shot and the mise-en-scene is simply toothsome. Jonze's genius shines through. Although hinting to the near future, the film speaks to an aspect of the current human condition: an existence inextricable to smart technology and digital mediation.
Justin Dorsey hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is a Cinema major at the University of Pennsylvania and professional interpreter.
