With a new round of U.S. sponsored talks underway, what are the prospects for a stable and just peace in one of the world's most volatile regions? The talks have raised both hopes and questions. Are the preconditions finally where they need to be to result in an agreement that provides peace and stability for all parties? What about the issue of settlements and the status of Jerusalem? Is the U.S. in a position to play the role ...of honest broker? What role will other nations in the Middle East play in any possible settlement?

Even if Miguel Cotto successfully dethrones RING and WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez to become Puerto Rico's first fighter to earn a fourth title in as many weight divisions on June 7 at New York's Madison Square Garden, the 33-year-old said that milestone won't necessarily surpass the achievements of countrymen such as Wilfredo Gomez and Felix Trinidad.
"It's a personal achievement and a personal matter that I want to win on June 7, so I'm working toward that. It doesn't mean that I'm going to be better than Gomez or better than Trinidad or better than the great champions that Puerto Rico has had before," said Cotto, who will be fighting at a middleweight for the first time, albeit at a catchweight of 159 pounds.
"But for myself, for Miguel, this will be the biggest accomplishment of my career. I'm just working out and trying to do my best and to take advantage of every opportunity that I have. I don't want to [necessarily] be named by myself as the most elite boxer of Puerto Rico but that's the work of the fans and the people who know about boxing. I just want to do my job and I want to do my best at that for the rest of my career."
Cotto (38-4, 31 knockouts) spoke during a Thursday conference call in advance of his clash with Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KOs), 39, who has been inactive since rising from an eighth-round knockdown to unanimously decision Martin Murray in April 2013.
Cotto, meanwhile, was last in the ring in October, when he knocked out Delvin Rodriguez in the third round to bounce back from a unanimous decision to Austin Trout in December 2012 at Madison Square Garden.
"Last time I was at the Garden, I didn't come out the winner," said Cotto, who is 9-1 with five knockouts in New York and 7-1 with four stoppages at the Garden. "But you go in there and you win some and you lose some. I always want to go in there and show the fans that I can do the best for them."
It was after defeating Rodriguez when Cotto first considered rising to face Martinez.
"That never crossed my mind. I didn't consider the possibility to go up to 160 pounds until after the last fight in October. We just decided that this was the best scenario and that [was agreeable] to us. So we decided to move on to Sergio Martinez," said Cotto, who has fought at junior middleweight since 2010.
"I don't see this weight as an issue at all. It's not on my mind. I feel that at this weight, not having to lose the weight, it's not about coming down. My body will be able to recuperate better during training camp…when you are a guy who has power, no matter what weight you're at, you're going to carry your power with you."
Trout is a left-hander like Martinez, with whom Trout served as a sparring partner in preparation for Martinez's eighth-round stoppage of Sergei Dzinziruk in March 2011. Martinez scored five knockdowns against Dzinziruk.
In assessing Martinez-Cotto, the nearly 5-foot-10 Trout said Cotto was troubled by his size while Martinez, 5-foot-10, was hindered in sparring by Trout's jab.
"This is a different scenario with Martinez than with Austin Trout. With Austin Trout, you have a young fighter who had a lot of mobility with his style," said Cotto, who then referred to Martinez's two surgeries on his right knee.
"Then you have Martinez, who is not such a young guy, and he has had a couple of of issues with his knees. We're going to do our best. We've put the Austin Trout fight in the past of my career and I have a big opportunity against Sergio and we're going to win this fight."
Trout also noted that although Martinez has been known to ravage and bloody his rivals' faces, he has also had to rise from the canvas during each of his past three victories, received eight stitches to repair a cut over his left eye, two staples in his head and suffered from both a broken left hand and torn ligaments in his right knee.
"There's no question that Martinez is the bigger man. If I was Martinez, I would work the jab and make Cotto work to get in, mixing it up when he wanted to," said Trout. "I think that maybe [Martinez has] got to box and move. He can take it to [Cotto] and maybe try to impose his size on him. I those might be a couple of things that he might try, being the bigger guy."
Trainer Freddie Roach is working with Cotto for the first time against Martinez and said Cotto's increased strength and power is being overlooked.
"I think that Miguel controls the ring a lot more and we've really worked on cutting the ring off more as far as his ring generalship. I wasn't part of the Trout fight but I did see the fight. I know that Miguel can do a lot better. He's been showing that in training with the bigger, stronger sparring partners. We're just more scientific about our approach to this fight and as far as controlling the ring a lot better. I think that he's really come a long way in our second fight now, together. I see no problems cutting the ring off and setting traps for our opponent," said Roach.
"We've brought his weight up a little bit and we've put on a little more muscle and I think that although Martinez is taller, I think that we're going to be much stronger on the inside and much [more] physical on the inside than he is and we're going to push him around with no problem. I think that we're going to be the bigger, stronger person. We're going into the fight having prepared for the best Sergio Martinez that he can be and that's what he should be. It sounds like he's already making excuses. The thing is that we expect him at his best and that we're going to beat him at his best."
Roach dismissed the notion that Martinez's injuries could be a factor in this fight.
"I think that if he's not mobile, then we'll catch him a lot earlier than later and it's going to be just a matter of time," said Roach. "But the thing is, I'm tired of these excuses, so we'll take him at his best and we'll beat him at his best. I don't want to hear after the fight that 'My knee hurts,'" said Roach.
"So he's going into the fight having signed for the fight and he knows what he's up against. He might be bigger but he's not better. I think that I have the more experienced fighter, the more talented fighter and the smarter fighter. That's what I'm counting on and we're 100 percent ready to go. Everything's right on track."

The Town Square in Elkins just received a new addition for the holidays.
A new Christmas tree was planted behind the Elkins Depot as a gift to the community Wednesday. It is the first Christmas tree to be planted at the Depot and is meant as an attraction not only for local residents but also for the tourists who visit during the holiday season.
The tree, a 12-foot-tall Norway Spruce, was donated and delivered thanks to many different agencies throughout, and even outside of, the community. The seedling came from Pike's Peak Nursery in Indiana, Pa., but was grown locally at the confluence of the Tygart Valley River and Leading Creek by Moss Nursery, courtesy of Dr. Kent Moss, Rita Moss and Aron Moss.

From left, Kathy Vance, Sue Sheets, NaidaBonne Simpson, Ed Greisel, Rita Moss, Dr. Kent Moss and Elaine Griesel take part in the ceremony for the new Christmas tree that was planted behind the Elkins Depot Wednesday.
The tree was dug and burlapped by Gary Holland and his family, Jodi, Junior and Clyde, at the Holland Nursery in Oakland, Md. The tree was then transported by local builder Sam Lewis and planted by John Cunningham of Cunningham Excavation.
It was donated by Moss Nursery to the Elkins Decorating Committee, which consists of Nancy Barlow, Elaine Geisel and Kathy Vance.
Vance, who also works with the Welcome Center in Elkins, said the tree was something many members of the community and tourists have suggested for some time, particularly those participating in the Polar Express, one of the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad's special train rides.
Inspired by the movie "The Polar Express," which in turn is based on the children's book of the same name, the train gives children and parents, encouraged to wear their pajamas, the opportunity to visit the "North Pole." Families are also treated with dinner, music and a bonfire, for roasting marshmallows.
Vance said the event has grown so much in popularity that it has sold out the past two years and, out of the 14,500 tickets available for this season, only 8,000 remain.
"We'd have people who were telling us that the only thing that was lacking was our very own Christmas tree," Vance said. "Now we have the opportunity to add that to the experience."
Vance said the Welcome Center would not have been able to get the tree without the support of the community, including the Randolph County Development Authority, which gave the Welcome Center permission to plant the tree.
"It's a symbol of unity," Vance said. "Another project that is bringing the community together. It's a great addition to the Railyard."
The tree is scheduled to be decorated on Nov. 4-5, featuring more than 1,500 LED lights. The community is invited to come and enjoy the tree, not just for the holiday season, but year-round.
"Everybody needs a Christmas tree." said Ed Greisel, president of the Welcome Center's Board of Directors. "And now we can share one."
Donations for the Welcome Center can be sent to the Elkins-Randolph Chamber of Commerce at 200 Executive Plaza in Elkins.

Sopa a la Minuta // Minute Soup
Before "instant soup" existed in Peru, cooks would make minute soup – which was ready in just minutes because of the small amounts of ingredients and thin noodles. Often, we make this to fit our preferences by using different noodles and offering the milk to add to you own bowl, if desired.
- 2 teaspoons of canola oil
- 1/2 of an onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of minced red bell pepper
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 tablespoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of ground oregano
- 6 cups of hot water
- 1/2 pound of angel hair pasta
- 1/2 cup of evaporated milk
- Minced fresh parsley
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté about 8 minutes or until golden brown. Add tomato, bell pepper and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
- Crumble the beef into the onion mixture and cook until browned, stirring occasionally. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and oregano. Pour hot water into the mixture and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the noodles and cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add milk. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

A few weeks ago, EW chatted with Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn about his latest tag-team collaboration with LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and OutKast lyric spitter Andre 3000 for Converse's recurring "Three Artists. One Song" campaign on the one-off single "DoYaThing."
The full song, a spastic four minutes of psychedelic funk, is now available as a free download at Converse's official website. (The four limited-edition Chuck Taylor All-Stars designed by Gorillaz collaborator Jamie Hewlett are also now available.) And it's a seamless marriage of the three men at the helm: Albarn's head-trippiness, Murphy's beat science, Andre's lightning-tongued lyrical attack.
But don't take our word for it. Download it at the Converse site or give it a spin below.
<embed src="http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.16129626" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" AllowScriptAccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" flashvars=" width="425" height="350" />
As Albarn told EW, the collaboration was fruitful, spontaneous, and unpredictable. "There was nothing composed beforehand," he said. "We just went in and said, 'Start.' It's almost like pulling the rubber band back, and then it just releases. It was very much one of those moments where nothing is premeditated and it just sort of erupts. It's exhilarating."
The version you hear above was actually trimmed down from a whopping 12 minutes. But according to Albarn, that's not even the half of it. "Quite a lot was left on the floor," he explained of the music they left behind. "I'd always work with those two. They're brilliant."
What do you think of the new track? Do ya thing in the comments.

National History Day (NHD) in Montana, "Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History"
Monday, November 21, 2011
By Julie Saylor
National History Day in Montana
The Montana Historical Society cosponsors National History Day (NHD) in Montana.
Spearheaded at MSU-Billings, NHD is a competition open to students grades 6-12. Students are challenged to research a historical topic of their choice related to an annual theme (this year's theme is "Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History"). They use their research to produce a documentary, exhibit, paper, performance or website.
This year, there will be two regional competitions—one in Billings (likely March 17, but exact date to be confirmed) and one at Travelers Rest State Park in Lolo (March 31)—as well as many school and classroom competitions. The Montana Historical Society will be hosting the statewide competition in Helena on April 21, 2012. Winners of the statewide competition will be eligible to participate in the national competition in Washington, D.C.
More information on National History Day is available through the Society's website: http://mhs.mt.gov/education/HistoryDay.asp. This page provides links to state and national NHD pages as well as ideas for Montana topics that fit this year's team, from "Chief Plenty Coups of the Crow" to the "Missoula Free Speech Fight of 1909." In addition to suggesting topics, historians at the Society have provided preliminary bibliographies to get students started on their research.
Tom Rust (State Coordinator), Michael Scarlett (Assistant State Coordinator), and their staff are happy to lend personal assistance to teachers looking for help integrating National History Day into their curriculum, who have questions about how to set up a classroom competition, or just want more information about the program. You can find their contact information here: http://mtnhd.weebly.com/staff-and-contact-information.html.

Published 2/4/2010 (all press releases for this day)
Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk

Avoid the 14 Ventura County, will also have officers and deputies patrolling the cities of Santa Paula, Camarillo, Ojai, and Fillmore before and after the game.
Super Bowl Sunday is one of America's biggest and most entertaining national sporting events as friends and families gather to socialize and watch the big game. Yet, it is also one of the Nation's most dangerous days on the roadways due to impaired driving.

"Please make the right decision and hand off your keys to a designated driver before the Super Bowl party begins. Getting caught driving while impaired will result in costly penalties including the loss of your driving privileges."

Remember, real Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk!

READINGTON TWP. — The tax levy that supports the proposed $29.5 million operating budget for K-8 schools failed to pass in the April 17 election, and now the budget is in the hands of the Township Committee.
The Committee may vote on the spending plan on Monday, May 7, according to Committeeman Frank Gatti, however, a date for the vote has not been officially set.
Residents voted 466-441 to reject the tax levy. With 11,348 registered voters in the township, the turnout was 8.1%.
Readington is the only school district in Hunterdon that still has its school election in April. All the other districts moved their school elections to November.
Joanne Sekella, the former Board of Education president who won reelection on April 17 after receiving the most write-in votes, said a meeting will probably be held prior to the Committee vote to discuss the school budget.
The meeting, she said, would likely be attended by only one member of the Township Committee, one school board member, Superintendent Barbara Sargent and Steffi-Jo DeCasas, the school district business administrator.
The Township Committee will have three options when it votes on the school budget — to increase it, to decrease it or leave it as is.
At an April 2 Township Committee meeting held before the school election, David Livingston, the current Board of Education president, expressed concern that residents might reject the school tax levy because it is a rare opportunity for people to vote against taxes.
At that same meeting Livingston, along with fellow school board members Eric Zwerling and William Goodwin, asked Township Committee members to keep the school budget as is in the event voters rejected the school tax levy, which did ultimately occur.

Camden City Council adopted a more stringent litter ordinance yesterday that gives the city the power to fine or jail people who abandon their cars and discard old tires in unauthorized places.
The stricter ordinance also will make the city eligible for $85,000 in state funding through the Clean Cities Act, which provides money for receptacles and cleanup crews.
Once Camden gets the money, it will hire youths to sweep and pick up rubbish, and will put trash receptacles every quarter mile in commercial zones.

The power outage that inconvenienced so many Lowcountry residents last week cost one family everything they had.
A fire gutted a four-bedroom brick house at 123 Forest Circle in Summerville early Thursday morning while the residents were staying in a motel after losing electricity. Utility crews were restoring power throughout the neighborhood at the time, although what caused the fire has not been determined, Old Fort Fire Chief Ed Genthert said Tuesday.
There is no indication the occupants left anything on that might have started the fire when they left, Genthert said.
"We are not sure if this (restoring the electricity) actually contributed to the fire," Genthert said. "We will continue to investigate."
The family was renting the house and had no insurance on their possessions, Genthert said.
Flames burned gaping holes in the front walls and roof and completely charred everything inside. A cat that was left at home died in the blaze, Genthert said.
There was little firefighters could do to save anything when they got to the house a little after midnight.
"You could see the orange glow in the sky a mile and a half away," Genthert said. "Flames were shooting 70 feet in the air."
The family was reached through a neighbor and declined a request to talk about what they might need.

When Mike Pelfrey toes the rubber for the Mets tonight in Boston, he aims to erase the memory of his last start.
It wasn't his first loss of 2009 that stings the most, but rather than manner in which it occurred. Pelfrey generated a decent enough line against the Giants on Sunday (2 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, and 2 Ks in 6 IP), but all anyone will discuss is the three balks which introduced the word "yips" to the NY media headline lexicon.
Sometimes, you just have days like that. But if you were to ask about how Pelfrey intends to rebound from the "yips," you'd swear he became the second coming of Steve Blass. From Brian Costa of the Star-Ledger:
His first balk was merely the result of his cleat getting stuck in the dirt, but the last two were more troubling. Both occurred with runners on base, and Pelfrey said he couldn't control the impulse to throw to first, which prevented him from setting his feet properly.Pelfrey admitted a prior problem with balks in his freshman year at Wichita State, but that's all. He had one messy start, and he's calling other Major League pitchers and a sports psychologist to work things out.
Pelfrey said he received advice this week from a couple of other major-league pitchers -- he did not want to name them -- who have experienced similar issues. One told him to hold the ball in his hand before he gets set on the mound, instead of holding it in his glove.
He also spoke on the phone with a sports psychologist, who gave Pelfrey some tips on how to overcome the mental block if it happens again.
"I'll talk to myself, like I did last time," Pelfrey said. "But I'll have a better understanding of what to say than I did last time. I'll be a lot nicer to myself."
That's baseball, I guess. It can't hurt to talk about those kinds of problems with others who've been there and overcome. But I feel this "yips" storyline will go away tonight with Pelfrey's start against the Sox.
Or I'm rooting for it, at least.
Around the Web
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald describes how Francisco Rodriguez and Jonathan Papelbon share a strong bond over the closer's role. I suspect we'll hear both of their names in that conversation for a long, long time. And in K-Rod's case, here's hoping it doesn't follow comparisons to Franco, Benitez, or Looper.
Mike Silva of NY Baseball Digest speaks with Mets ex-GM Jim Duquette about his latest activities, the evolving role of the GM, and the Kazmir trade. Duquette, at least, had the decency to not spend 3 hours talking smack about Beltran during the interview.
Joe Janish of Mets Today investigates the Mets' current options at first base and shortstop. The short version? Patience, friends.
Brian Moritz of the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin provides a solid grasp of Nick Evans' mindset as he works out the kinks with the B-Mets in Double A.
The Yankees ended their 9-game winning streaks as they lost 7-3 to the Phillies yesterday. Hopefully, that'll teach you for even thinking about rooting for the Bronx Bombers instead of the meteor. They won't help the Mets out because the Yankees are pure evil.

HIS spats with Fame Academy judge Richard Park have become the stuff of TV legend. His wry observations of the celebrities holed up on ITV's Love Island were as ruthless as they were funny.
But whatever you do, don't call Patrick Kielty a TV presenter. He hosted both programmes - and there is a difference.
"When I read that I was a TV presenter I wanted to go out and shoot myself. There's a big difference between a host and a TV presenter," says the affable Irishman who was born in Dundrum, County Down, Northern Ireland.
He explains: "From Monkhouse to Tarbuck . . . it wasn't a coincidence that all these old-time hosts were comedians who could go out and work an audience."
Relaxing in the lounge of the SAS Radisson on the Royal Mile, the 35-year-old who, for the record, started off as a stand-up comic in his homeland, is in the mood for a bit of craic ahead of the final date of a nationwide tour which brings him to the Queen's Hall tomorrow.
"That was one of the reasons I wanted to do this tour," he says. "People saw me coming from nothing, I was suddenly there on the telly. But I wanted them to see where I was coming from."
To discover the roots of his success it is necessary to go back 14 years to Queens University, Belfast, where Kielty studied psychology.
A "pretty good mimic", he was persuaded by his flatmates to enter a competition at the student union - he won a keg of beer. That win encouraged him to start The Empire Club, a weekly comedy night.
"I didn't want to work, I liked the student life," he recalls with a grin. "I'd done a few gigs in the union and that, but there was nowhere else to go, so we set up The Empire Club. I would compere and people like Lee Evans, Bill Bailey and Ardal O'Hanlon would come and play."
Despite the popularity of the club, Kielty insists that compering the night was never about a "want to be in the spotlight".
"It just started as a fun thing to do. Then, on the day after a gig you look in the mirror and realise that women are treating you differently, and you think to yourself: 'Well, hang on here, it's not the FA Cup ears and nose like a cooker-hood that's getting these women'," he quips.
What makes Kielty's story different to those of other comedians who discovered their ability to make people laugh while at university is that he learned his trade in Northern Ireland during the Troubles - the same Troubles that robbed him of his father.
"My dad was murdered when I was 16," he explains.
"He was a Catholic businessman who ran the local building firm in our little village. At that stage there was a lot of tit for tat going on. One side would kill an innocent Protestant, so the other would kill an innocent Catholic. Because he employed both Catholics and Protestants he was a target.
"That, to date, was the first and last thing that ever happened in Dundrum. And that was one of the really weird things about Northern Ireland - the ordinariness of it, and yet it wasn't ordinary.
"I realise now, looking back on it, that it wasn't ordinary; that the police station in the village looked like a fortress in Baghdad and that it wasn't normal to be getting frisked before going into Woolworths."
The death of his father, says Kielty, changed him as a person, forcing him to grow up more quickly than he otherwise might have. Consequently, it has been reported that his comedy was a direct response to his father's shooting, but he insists that is just not the case.
"One of the things that has been written about me in the past is that I used to be Lenny Bruce and that I'm now Bruce Forsyth.' I was never Lenny Bruce and I'm not Bruce Forsyth, I'm somewhere in between. This notion that I was some sort of comedy crusader - well, that never happened.
"The reality on the ground is that if you go into a drinking club with a bunch of hoods and you're telling jokes about them, they're laughing at it but you're not challenging them. Your job is to get in there, get your laughs and get out without somebody putting you against the wall in the toilet."
Not that all his material was appreciated by everyone.
"People talk about: 'Aw, it was rough playing working mens' clubs'," he says. "Working mens' clubs in Belfast were paramilitary clubs. You'd go into these clubs and be doing political material slagging off the IRA or the UVF. The act would never change, but the places where the laughs came would."
HE admits: "It was tolerated because the reputation of the Empire Club in Belfast meant that they knew what they were booking. But yeah, I had guys coming up to me all the time in Belfast telling me that they weren't happy with my stuff and that I needed to behave myself and be a good boy and stuff like that.
"They were definitely serious threats, but I would say: 'Look lads, I'm a decent comic I'm not fantastic, but if you want to turn me into Lenny Bruce, are you really at the stage where you are starting to pop comedians now?'
"And then, also, there was a certain amount of licence that I had because of what happened to my dad. That meant that no-one was able to say: 'Well, you're just this upstart'."
Kielty's reputation as a stand-up soon landed him the job of warm-up act for BBC Northern Ireland's Anderson on the Box. When this show was axed Kielty got his big break presenting its replacement, PK Tonight, which in turn led to his first network prime time show After The Break on BBC1. However, it was the Channel 4's Last Chance Lottery that made him a household name.
These days, he is best known for fronting the BBC's Fame Academy and ITV's Celebrity Love Island.
Which brings us back to that verbal sparring with Richard Park. "To be honest," says Kielty, "the first time that Park went for it I thought: 'Here we go. He's obviously trying to make a name for himself. He's trying to Cowell himself up a wee bit'.
"I didn't like that because when you're dealing with a member of the public in a talent show, they're not equipped for the nature of what is coming to them. So if someone is getting too much stick just to make good telly I don't like that and will defend them."
That said, Kielty admits he has no such qualms about having a go himself at the celebs who agree to be cast away on ITV's Love Island.
"On that you are dealing with a particular type of celebrity, one who puts themselves in the limelight and is the type of person that purposely goes out three or four times a week to get in the paper.
"Now I'm not saying that presenting that show was like shooting fish in a barrel, but it was either shoot the fish or look in the barrel and go: 'Hey, pretty fish'. So, attitude-wise, I was allowed to be more myself on Love Island than I was on Fame Academy."
More of that "attitude" is what audiences can expect from Kielty tomorrow in his show, No Woman No Cry.
"It's not life-changing comedy. There's a lot of very loose, light, fluffy stuff, but it would be wrong of me not to talk about stuff that is relevant to me," he says.
And as for the title, well, sheepishly he reveals: "My first ever stand-up show was called Stir It Up, and then I did a tour called Get Up Stand Up, which was the most obvious name for a stand-up tour. Then somebody said to me 'Do you know that the first two things you've done are Bob Marley numbers?' And so, because I'm 35 and single, I thought, call it No Woman No Cry."
And with a big grin, he adds: "It was either that or I Shot The Sheriff, but when you're from Northern Ireland popping policemen is a bit last season."

The Act, known more formally as H.R.
6304 and born after months of negotiations, represents a "bipartisan
compromise" over similar legislation that died on the House floor
last February.
Much of the negotiations revolved
around the thorny issue of "telecom immunity," which if included would kill the
40+ lawsuits currently in progress accusing communications providers of
assisting the Bush Administration in an illegal, post-9/11 surveillance
program. As the bill currently stands, a court review will determine if
providers received a presidential order requesting the wiretaps – regardless of
whether or not the correct warrants were filed – and then drop all pending litigation if that condition was met.
The "warrantless wiretapping" program, initiated by
the Bush Administration in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, ran for almost six years until it was discovered by the New York
With time running out on the
country's surveillance laws – current versions of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act, which governs the nation's surveillance activities, are set
to expire in August – Congress has little time to negotiate. The Bush
Administration previously took a hard-line stance against FISA updates that
failed to include a provision for telecom immunity, although it was reported
earlier this year that the White House decided to relax its stance.
The FISA Amendments Act "balances
the needs of our intelligence community with Americans' civil liberties, and
provides critical new oversight and accountability requirements," said House
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
"The House of Representatives today
has fallen down on the job," said the Electronic Frontier Foundation activist
Hugh D'Andrade. "By passing the FISA Amendments Act … [the House] voted to give
this lame duck President an undeserved parting gift by passing immunity for
telecoms that helped the President violate the Constitution by participating in
the NSA's massive and illegal spying program."
"Immunity for telecom giants that
secretly assisted in the NSA's warrantless surveillance undermines the rule of
law and the privacy of every American," said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin
Bankston. "We are deeply disappointed that the House Leadership, which was so
courageous in its previous opposition to telecom immunity, caved to the
Administration's fear-mongering and put this seriously flawed legislation on
the floor for a vote."
In addition to the aforementioned
telecom immunity provisions, the FISA Amendments Bill would:
H.R. 6304 passed the House 239-129,
and is slated for the Senate as early as June 23.
quote: Just like you wouldn't do anything if the cop tells you to do when illegal, but if you have two choices of doing what the cop says and you get benefits, or you don't do anything the cop says and he bothers your for the rest of your life, we would choose the easier route.
quote: Did Congress pass a bill declaring Bush a King, and above that law that I missed?
quote: What is legal and what is illegal is up to the government to decide.
quote: I enjoy that people seem to think that following government mandate to provide phone records to the government was "illegal"
quote: As far as the law is concerned right this second, the Telco's were legally required to produce the documentation at the request of the government.

quote: A vast amount of legal precedent has established that citizens are not allowed to to debate the legality of orders from police personnel.
quote: You are completely within your right to ask any law enforcement official the law under which the order is being made. If they cannot provide the information, you do not have to comply with the order. Once they do provide the information, you still have a somewhat of a choice
quote: When arresting a person without a warrant, the officer must inform him of his authority and the cause of the arrest, except when he is in actual commission of a public offense
quote: If a cop tells you do do something obviously illegal, are you really going to do it?

Preflight activities follow carefully scripted routines designed to prevent ground incidents and safety-of-flight issues. When pilots and supporting ramp personnel deviate from established procedures (or neglect to follow procedures at all), the result is often unwanted incidents. This month, we look at several types of incidents that occurred during the preflight phase, and might have been prevented by clearer communications and adherence to established operating procedures.
Air carrier pushback procedures involve clear, concise oral challenges and responses between ramp personnel and flight crews. While this script may vary from air carrier to air carrier, both ramp personnel and flight crews are required to follow pushback protocols. In this incident reported to ASRS, careless operation of tug equipment by ramp personnel led to an "impactful" experience.
During passenger boarding…observed tug approach nose of aircraft in an attempt to hook up tow bar for pushback. Tow bar had already been installed and attached to nose gear. Tug did not stop, causing the tow bar to be forced below the tug…thus resulting in an excessive force being impacted upon the nose gear of the aircraft. Tug was still in forward motion and impacted the tow bar a second time, causing a second impact with the nose gear of the aircraft. A wheel attached to the bottom of the tow bar was broken off. Approximately 20 passengers were on board as well as 30 passengers in the jetway. All passengers felt or heard the aircraft move with an extreme double hit. A catering truck was at the aft galley door, and was very concerned with the aircraft movement as well. A maintenance logbook write-up was made, documenting the extreme double impact to the nose gear through the tow bar…
My partner and I pulled our Beechcraft 35H straight out of the hangar in order to see if the engine would start. We believed the battery to be low and I had a planned flight in two days. We did not intend to do anything other than start the engine, shut it down, and return the aircraft to the hangar and so we left the tow bar attached to the nose wheel strut. My partner was in the left seat and started the engine. The engine turned over several times before it started and the propeller cleared the tow bar. As it started, the nose came down and the propeller struck the tow bar, sending it about thirty feet away. The engine was immediately shut down. We got our mechanic to come look at the propeller damage and then returned the aircraft to the hangar.
A CFI was asked to perform a Biennial Flight Review – a seemingly straightforward request – until more details about the applicant's flying currency emerged.
A pilot approached me to do a Biennial Flight Review in his Piper Saratoga. It was a spur-of-the-moment type flight review. Unaware of the pilot's credentials, I asked him about his flying currency, and he told me he just needed a flight review…This became an issue to me when he presented his logbook to me the next day (he didn't have his logbook with him the night before when we did the flight). His logbook showed that he hadn't flown in over two years. Since I didn't have much experience in high performance aircraft, or a high performance endorsement, I realized I wasn't legally pilot-in-command on that flight, either. It's an example of not being presented with the proper information by a student. I should have, looking back at it, not flown with him until I requested his logbook for careful examination.
I've learned an important lesson about giving flight instruction: Even if you become rushed by someone, sit back and analyze your situation...because the solution…may be as simple as checking your applicant's past flying experience. On this day, a person with their own plane seemed very capable of flying it, when in actuality they couldn't act as pilot in command, because of recency of flight experience regulations 61.56 and 61.57.
Another pilot rented an airplane from an FBO, assuming that inspection and maintenance records were in order.
I rented an airplane from the FBO. I received the dispatch slip and proceeded to preflight the aircraft. I flew 2.6 hours with a passenger. A week later, I rented the same plane. Again, I was dispatched – and with a passenger – logged 2 hours. Three days later, the FBO notified me that the airplane in question was overdue on its annual…Hence I had violated two standing FARs: 91.7(b) and 91.405 (a)…
I wrongly assumed that an FBO had established processes that would preclude an airplane from being dispatched if it was overdue for any kind of inspection or maintenance. I will ensure that in all my future flying endeavors I check inspection and maintenance records. To assist in this, I have created a 'go/no-go checklist' that accounts for all pertinent sections of Part 91.
Initial preflight weight and balance numbers are provided to flight crews, but these can be inaccurate by a significant margin due to increases/decreases in passenger and baggage loads, and other unanticipated changes such as late departures. This makes the communication of timely weight and balance information between baggage loaders and Operations Offices crucial to safe flight. Here's what happened to a B737 flight that was running late:
…The flight pushed back 44 minutes behind schedule. During the engine start sequence, Operations sent the weight and balance numbers, which were loaded into the Flight Management Computer. On departure, the Captain, who was the flying pilot, mentioned how sluggish the climb was. Nineteen minutes later, Dispatch sent an ACARS message to the crew which read, 'Ops called with revised numbers…' There was a 1,500 pound difference in ZFW [Zero Fuel Weight] and actual takeoff weight, and a shift of 1.8 percent in the Center of Gravity…Communications between baggage loaders and Operations need to be improved to get reliable information relayed accurately to Operations. Operations then has an obligation to get the numbers calculated and passed on to the crew operating the flight in a timely manner.
An MD-83 flight crew knew they were heavy on takeoff, but were unprepared for the controllability problems they experienced on landing.
Taking off from ZZZ we were heavy, but within limits on the closeout. Takeoff roll seemed long, but not out of the ordinary for heavy weights. Rotation was very heavy, took more effort and time than in my past experience. On climbout, our minimum maneuvering speed should have been about 254 knots but was indicating 262 knots. We thought maybe we were heavier than indicated and flew conservatively to ZZZ1…On descent we planned for 130K pound speeds instead of the 124K indicated. Used 137 knot bug instead of 129 knot bug. Due to high/fast approach profiles into ZZZ1 didn't get much of a feel for it until relatively close in to landing. The last 20 feet, flying around 138-142 knots, sink rate was unarrestable, [we] ran out of elevator authority and landed firmly. Asked Operations to perform an audit of the cargo holds upon blocking in, then monitored the offload personally. By my math (based on crew chief's assessment), we had 3,960 pounds in forward, 1,870 pounds in mid, and 2,100 pounds in aft cargo. This comes to 7,930 pounds versus release of 6,150 pounds. The report at departure had a plan of 1,030 pounds forward, 2,423 pounds mid, and 2,600 pounds aft. This comes to about 3,000 pounds heavy in forward, and 500 pounds light in aft…The heavy rotation, and the lack of elevator authority on landing, as well as the high alpha speeds perhaps from additional tail-down force required, are all symptoms of an incorrectly loaded aircraft, with an incorrect Center of Gravity on closeout…
Coffee Break
A Captain on an international flight had just gotten up from a rest break and poured a cup of coffee to speed his recovery from "sleep inertia." With coffee cup in hand, he decided that he might as well go up to the cockpit and take his seat:
Can you guess where this story is going? As I am getting into the just vacated left seat, holding my just poured and still very full coffee cup, kaboom, coffee all over the center pedestal. As we rapidly tried to clean up the mess, the left and center audio panels, with their multitude of mike and receive buttons, begin to look like twinkle light Christmas trees. What we did not know at first was that we had gone hot mike to ATC. All of the ruckus and commotion in the cockpit was being intermediately transmitted. Well, shades of 9-11, they almost launched the fighters on us. We quickly got a text-message off to Dispatch through the Satcom having them advise ATC of our situation. We cleaned up and sorted out the mess and figured out that by shutting down the left VHF (we pulled its circuit breaker) and only using the right VHF through the right (co-pilot's) audio panel and with overhead speakers on, so I could listen, we could get into [destination] OK.
Now, to the…moral of the story. Many of the reports you publish end with a mea culpa about how they will never make that mistake again. But we are human, so they may not make that mistake again, but someone else will. So, how much of the lesson is about how to handle the problem once it begins? Back to Pilot 101 Day One: analyze the situation, take the proper action, and land as soon as conditions permit.
I am sure the 'coffee' story will get spread around a little, and people will be more careful with their drinks, for a while. I hope how we handled the problem will be part of the story, too.
For an MD-80 flight crew, the discovery of a "mystery" coffee cup and cannon plug cover in the cockpit led to an extensive flight delay. More from a Captain's report to ASRS.
While preflighting we discovered a coffee cup sitting in the cup holder by the cockpit jumpseat with 3 small screws in the bottom of the cup. Also we found a cannon plug cover on the cockpit floor under the Captain's rudder pedals. We entered this information into the maintenance log and requested that maintenance come out and remove the screws and cannon plug cover. Unfortunately, what appeared to be a simple issue turned into a major delay with what we thought was going to be a grounded airplane, since nobody could determine where the screws came from…In summary, it was determined that the screws and cannon plug cover were 'spare hardware' that was the result of an ACARS printer installation the night before. Apparently once the installation was done, the spare hardware was left behind and not removed from the airplane. This is of concern to me as it indicates…a general lack of care and due diligence in the way our airplanes are being maintained.
This maintenance oversight may have occurred during a shift change, when one technician started the job and another finished it. It's good shop practice to account for all 'spare' parts used in a job.

The new dad had asked his grandmother, the Queen, for permission to hold the first-ever soccer game at the palace to celebrate the Football Association's 150th anniversary.
"I cannot tell you how excited I am that later today we will be playing football on my grandmother's lawn," he said in his speech opening the event at Buckingham Palace on Monday. "One warning, though: If anyone breaks a window, you can answer to her."
The Queen was unable to attend the event, but William said that there was "one small silver lining" in that: there wouldn't be any corgis running onto the pitch.
Wearing bright orange shoes, William – who's president of the Football Association – laughed as he trained with members of the royal household's football team.
Two of England's oldest amateur teams – Civil Service FC and Polytechnic FC – played a game during the event, and during half-time, they were treated to oranges and drinks, brought out on silver platters by the Queen's footmen.

Considering the effort Altoona Curve general manager Todd Parnell has put into making the franchise a success — which in turn translates into a superior entertainment product and dollars for Blair County and central Pennsylvania — it would be easy to say he deserves a free pass for his chiding remarks towards residents of our region for not showing up in greater numbers for a game on an unseasonably mild night a few weeks ago.
But the fact is, he doesn't deserve a mulligan — not for insensitive and short-sighted comments that more than anything demonstrate how out of touch he may actually be with his fan base. Parnell said the attendance of 3,729 for his team's game at Blair County Ballpark on May 2 was like a "punch in the gut," while condescendingly expressing his disappointment because "we can all do better."
First, a paid audience of more than 3,700 people is, according to Cory Giger's article, actually just below the pace from a similar time frame a year ago. That's not a punch in the gut. A punch in the gut is a gallon of skim milk that costs nearly $4, or $1 less than the Curve's least expensive ticket. A punch in the gut is a 10-gallon tank of gasoline that costs in the neighborhood of $40 — the same amount it would cost for a family of five to watch one of the Curve's games on the terrace.
Second, it's not disappointing when you're averaging more than 4,000 fans per game, or more than 200 more fans than you were averaging a year ago.
It's disappointing when you're a parent who has to tell your child that there are simple things you can no longer afford and sacrifices you will have to make because a dollar no longer buys what it used to. It's disappointing when a month's worth of fuel for your car now adds up to a week's worth of groceries or a month's rent.
Parnell, dry your eyes. There's no crying in baseball.
The night Parnell had his heart broken by central Pennsylvania, he said the Curve were "all in," and that they needed a similar commitment from fans. While popularity and interest will have peaks and valleys, the game and those who love it aren't going anywhere.
If we are really all in, if we can all do better, how about the Curve making it easier? How about lowering the cost of some of those concession stand items? How about buy-one, get-one-free on Curve apparel in the souvenir store? How about enticing us to the yard with a team that's not in last place?
That way, we can all get through these tough times and continue to support our team. We are all in this together, right?

Specter out of his arena
I've been watching the latest developments on the Patriots cheating scandal. I have just one question:
Why is Arlen Specter involved? He has nothing more to do with the NFL than I do.
Apparently, there is some evidence of filming of the Steelers by the Patriots staff. Why wasn't Specter so adamant in the situation where the Patriots spied on the Rams or Jets? The moment ''spygate'' started, every team who had played the Patriots since Bill Belicheck took over suspected the Patriots of having cheated.
The Steelers were at the forefront of the accusations. The Patriots and Belicheck should not be excused for their wrongdoing, and the commissioner has addressed the issue to the best of his ability.
Specter claiming to not be satisfied with the outcome simply sounds like another disgruntled Steeler fan being upset with being "taken." When my team, the Oakland Raiders, was ''taken'' on several questionable calls during vital games over the years, like the "tuck rule," and the "Immaculate Reception," all I could do was accept it.
When a few questionable calls helped the Steelers win Super Bowl XL, the Seahawks and their fans had to accept it. History will not be re-written no matter what Specter would like.
Like any other fan who has fallen victim to any act as described above, he just has to deal with the decisions and move on.

A tribute to Catholic pillar
Father Vincent Spinos died Sunday, May 12.
In 1952, while stationed at Mt. Carmel Parish, Father Vincent laid the groundwork for a football program in the Catholic grade schools of Altoona. Father Vincent most certainly had help in starting this program, but he was the driving force.
All players would be in full uniform. Weight rules were established. Games were played at Columbia Park, Fairview, Maple Avenue and Prospect. Seven city schools fielded teams as well as Hollidaysburg Catholic and St. Patricks of Newry.
Winners of the Altoona and Johnstown leagues played for the Diocesan championship at the end of the regular season. Fifty-six years later, the Altoona Parochial League football program is still in operation.
Rest in peace, Father Vincent. You deserve it for a job well done.

Look alive, downtownies, especially if you are driving in Old Town at the lunch hour Wednesday.
The Police Bureau and the Bureau of Transportation will run a crosswalk enforcement drill at Southwest Second Avenue and Ankeny Street. Note clumsily embedded map below.
View My Saved Places in a larger map
From 12:30 until 2 p.m., a decoy pedestrian will post up at that intersection to make that bold move of crossing the street.
Drivers who do not stop at marked and unmarked crosswalks -- as required under Oregon law -- may be issued warnings or, horrors!, citations.
The news release for Wednesday's drill says: "Crosswalk enforcement actions are an effective way to communicate pedestrian right-of-way laws to both drivers and pedestrians. The transportation and police bureaus do enforcement actions in response to community requests and to educate the general public on the rules at marked and unmarked crossings."
The drills are run about once a month somewhere in Our Great City.
The city produced a cute animated video on the subject in 2009; it's a crime that it never screened at Sundance.

Alumni Spotlight – Evan Prince
Evan Prince attended our Summer Intensive program in 2007 with the dream of making his way in the world of photography both professionally and creatively speaking. Since graduation, he has been doggedly and determinedly doing just that.
Afterward, he headed back home to Austin, TX and spent roughly three years working as a photo assistant/digital tech for several different photographers in the area as well as photographers from all over the country who were shooting in Texas. Working on shoots for magazines like ESPN, Texas Monthly, Fast Company as well as on ad campaigns for clients like Dell and Southwest Airlines gave him a great opportunity to learn about the business and inner workings of the photo industry. He then spent a year and a half working as an assistant in the Dell photo studio in Austin which gave him the opportunity to spend 5 days a week on set where he gained experience working with view cameras and digital workflow which piqued his interest in retouching. At every step of the way he's been very eager to learn everything he could about the photography world as he was constantly shooting, assisting and experimenting in Photoshop. Evan took the opportunity to soak up any and all photo knowledge he could get his hands on during this time period.
After the Dell studio work, he decided it was time to get out there and begin cultivating his own clients and photo projects. The realization came to him that one of the best ways to market his work and skill was through personal projects. Since then, he's been very active shooting and pitching story ideas which ultimately has helped him to develop a unique style and workflow.
At some point he acquired an interest in photographing smaller pockets of American culture some may not consider mainstream, and to that end, he's had opportunity to work with ballerinas, burlesque dancers, female bodybuilders, Star Wars costume clubs, and live-action role players to name a few. The latest of those projects was shot at a Star Wars convention in Orlando and ran as a story on NPR's photo blog, The Picture Show.
He's also been developing his own approach to photographing landscapes and has landed jobs this year working in both Chile, Denmark and covering many parts of the US. At this point, he considers himself in the beginning stages of his career having just completed an initial trip to New York to formally present his portfolio to national magazines. However, as his background can attest to, he is enjoying the ride and has already seen and experienced amazing things through his love of photography. Due to his single-minded dedication to his creative endeavors and craft, the future can only lead to more fulfilling work and experiences. With his particular passion and vision, Evan is a great example of someone who is creating the future for himself.

For my money, Olivia Newton-John (PEOPLE, Feb. 24) is the best thing to hit the music world since the guitar. As for ACE (Association of Country Entertainers, formed to preserve country music's separateness and freedom from all outside influences), why can't those people accept the fact that country and western fans along with everyone else love Olivia.
An examination of the background of country and western music reveals that it evolved from "Olde English" tunes, so one may argue that Olivia is just getting back to the grass roots of country music.
Kirk C. Johnson
Tempe, Arizona
Wise up all of you so-called "country stars." What kind of place would the United States be if everyone thought that newcomers should stay in their own country or their own field? The United States of America—land of opportunity, remember?
Pam Rodgers
Hammond, Ind.
I was really shocked to see that so-called singer Olivia Newton-John in your magazine. Whatever possessed you to write about a talentless yodeler like her? You are missing so many really talented ladies with voices.
Take, for example, Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell, and Joni Mitchell actually writes her own songs.
Janis Propper
Upland, Calif.
Robert Windeler's profile on Olivia Newton-John is a beautifully written article about a darling and marvelously talented girl.
He did make one mistake, however. She was nominated for four (not three) American Music Awards, and damned if she didn't win them all.
James E. Bass
Little Rock
She also picked up two Grammys a few days later.—ED.
The Schermerhorns
I have been a follower of the Milwaukee Symphony since its early days under Harry John Brown and can say with no hesitation whatever that Milwaukee has never had it better! I am continually amazed at the progress that it has made under Kenneth Schermerhorn since those early efforts in the 1960s.
He lends his performances a flair and grace which make each concert a real experience, and his courtship and eventual marriage to Carol Neblett in 1973 was romantic enough to have inspired a best-seller.
Shelly Maiman
After I saw those hockey players standing around in their long Johns, on page 64, I came to the conclusion that the main difference between the players and Carol Neblett in the opera Thaïs is that Carol's tights fit better and look far more becoming. Am I right about the tights?
Chuck Calton
St. Paul Park, Minn.
No. Neblett performed totally nude.—ED.
Janet Flanner
Janet Flanner and Papa Hemingway weren't "planning their first broadcast to America," as you captioned that 1944 picture. It was taken at Les Deux Magots in Paris, and Papa was reading Genêt a love poem he had just written to his new girl, Mary Welch, a TIME war correspondent (later his wife, now his widow, "Miss Mary"). It was a pretty soppy poem, but he had a captive audience in Flanner and (note the third brandy pony on the table) me.
David E. Scherman
New York
Alexis Pederson
It was quite unfair to slant the facts so flagrantly that Alexis Pederson came out resembling a heroine and those connected with Goodbye, Norma Jean a bunch of second-rate quasi pornographers. The facts are that Larry Buchanan held the Marilyn Monroe look-alike contest purely for publicity, with the starring role to be awarded only to an actress capable of filling it, whether or not she happened to be the winner. The winner had the option of auditioning for the role; Mr. Buchanan made this clear from the outset. Misty Rowe was not a "last minute replacement." She is, rather, a professional actress who knows and thoroughly dedicates herself to her craft. This all happens to be first-hand information—Ms. Rowe and I have the same film agent, study in the same professional actors' workshop, and both appear in Norma Jean. (I play Margaret, her groomer.)
Laurel Barnett

Backgammon's Tim Holland

The Ravens signed veteran O-lineman Tony Wragge on Tuesday, the team announced.
Wragge played in 15 games with eight starts last season for the Rams. He was with the 49ers from 2005-10.
In his career, Wragge has played in 82 games with 23 starts. To make room for Wragge, the Ravens waived DT/DE Elliot Henigan.
Also, Aaron Wilson of Scout.com reported that the Ravens have waived-injured OLB Michael McAdoo.
The way we see it
The Ravens have twice bolstered their veteran depth in the last two weeks, adding ex-Bengals OG Bobbie Williams (ostensibly to compete at left guard) and Wragge, who gives the Ravens another reserve option behind Matt Birk.

Some time ago I became dissatisfied with the rotary vise I had been using -- I won't mention which -- because I thought it was difficult and tedious to make adjustments to the jaws as well as the rotary mechanism. I began looking for a new vise and started making price/function comparisons. The PEAK rotary vise ended up at the top of my list.
It turned out to be an excellent choice! This all-metal vice is rock solid and very well made. Fine tuning the jaws and the rotary tension is a breeze. The hook is locked into place simply by flipping a cam. One potential negative point is that the vise is supplied with plastic screws for the bobbin holder and rotary tension adjustment. However, I also ordered brass replacement screws which are much more durable (and better looking too). The D-arm is also very handy to have when using the rotary mechanism to wind on dubbing, floss, or ribbing.
In short, this vise, especially when augmented with its accessories, is a great tool that won't disappoint!
I've been tying for a year and decided to upgrade my vise. I'm extremely happy with the Peak and very happy I chose the bundle with the material clip and D-arm. I tie mostly streamers and have had -0- issues with hooks up to a 1/0. Couldn't be happier with my purchase and it arrived very fast too! Can't go wrong with J Stockard.
Recently I decided to upgrade to a rotary vise. I'm very happy I selected the Peak. I've tied Large streamers to 20 midge patterns with the standard jaws. This is an excellent quality product. The rotary function is smooth and and helps improve the quality and speed of tying my flies, as well as tie far more difficult patterns than with my old vise. I highly recommend this vise.
I did a lot of research before buying this vise. I read online reviews, talked with forums, and visited with local fly shop owners and fellow fly fishers. This vise seemed the best purchase for the price. It has it all. Rotary action, ease of use, hook holding capability, and much more. I got immediate confirmation from J. Stockard and received my vise in a very short time. Great company and great vise. Highly recommend this as your permanent vise. You won't need another after getting this one.
I own other more expensive and "bigger name" vises. The function and quality of this vise are equal to it; however, I find that the stability during tying and the value of this vise are much better. I read many reviews and I was concerned with the jaw design when I first ordered it. I purchased the midges jaws with the vise but have yet to use them. But once more, the midge jaws for this vise cost a fraction of those for my other vise. This is truly the most bang for your buck.

Julia and Paul Child's address is France was 81 Rue de l'Université, 7th Arrondissement.
In 1963, Julia Child stepped in front of the cameras at WGBH and introduced viewers to the art of French cooking with The French Chef, bringing her passion for French cuisine and inimitable voice to television. The series ran for 10 years, sparking a revolution in both American cooking and TV how-to shows that endures today. A recent trip to Paris gave me a chance to retrace the steps of this iconic, yet supremely relatable, chef and food lover.
Julia and Paul lived on the top two floors of this building.
Imagine if one of the names listed here today, on the call box outside the front blue door, were Child.
The closest Metro stop to the Child's apartment, looking very much like it would have looked in Julia's time.
Situated close to Saint Germain des Près, Androuet Fromagerie was back then, and still is today, one of the finest cheese shops in all of Paris.
Androuet's cheeses range from "workhorses" like Comte to these precious bites, looking like the cheese version of mignardises.
You can't have Paris without chocolate. Jean-Paul Hévin chocolatier, located on rue Saint Honoré in the 1st arrondissement, is famous for its cheese-filled chocolates.
And you can't have chocolate — or Paris! — without wine. Le Rubis wine bar, also in the 1st arrondissement, is old, comfortable, and crowded. Their selection of wines by the glass relies on small pours from trustworthy regions.

Spurs use a bit of a smokescreen on the Heat
AT&T CENTER — Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich is a pretty no nonsense type of guy. Most of the time, when he's asked about a particular player coming to town or system the Spurs are going up against, his answer is usually something along the lines of "if we do what we do, we'll be fine."
But with the Miami Heat coming to town, Coach Pop called a bit of an audible. Tony Parker was scheduled to be out 2-4 weeks with a strained soleus muscle. Apparently Tony started feeling better pretty quick. But instead of running him out there and declaring him game-ready, the Spurs made it look like they were taking it slow.
Jeff McDonald of the Express-News mentioned that he chatted with Parker in passing after morning shootaround on Friday and TP told Jeff that he wasn't supposed to run or shoot or anything like that.
Even during pre-game shootaround a couple of hours before the game, Tony was gingerly jogging around the putting up jump shots for Tiago Splitter to battle a couple of assistant coaches for. It looked like it was going to be a while longer before we were going to see Tony Parker on the floor for the Spurs.
And then Coach Pop held his pre-game press conference where we discovered that not only was Tony Parker going to play against the Heat, he was going to start. It took us a few questions to comprehend what Pop was actually telling us.
Turns out, it looks like the Spurs might have been bluffing all along on Friday, not giving the Heat a chance to prepare for Parker's presence in the lineup by keeping everyone outside of the team in the dark. According to Manu Ginobili, the team knew Friday morning that Parker was going to play.
"I kind of expected him to play on Sunday [against the Lakers] because I talked to him and he told me he was feeling pretty well, that [his recovery] was going to be quicker than expected," Manu said. "It was great news when this morning we found out [he was going to play]."
Who knows how much of an advantage keeping the Heat in the dark was? Miami Head Coach Erik Spoelstra didn't seem to think it made much of a difference in the Spurs' 125-95 win over the Heat.
"I don't think it would've mattered one way or another," he said. "They were playing at a completely different speed than us."
He may be right, but it's nice to see Coach Pop play a little chess in the regular season every now and then.
