Sonja's Blueberry Scones
These scones are delicious warm, served with butter and honey, fresh fruit, jam, and whipped cream.
Yield: 10 to 14 scones
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 5 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
- sugar for sprinkling
InstructionsPreheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a large baking sheet (preferably a heavy dark one).
In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter with two knives or a pastry cutter until broken into very fine pieces.
Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the milk and cream, and quickly mix into a cohesive mass. Just before the dough is entirely blended, gently fold in the blueberries.
Make scones by forming the batter into 10 to 14 individual balls, or pat batter into a 9-inch disk. Using a long knife, divide the dough, without separating it, into 8 equal wedges.
Brush the surface of the dough with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake 15 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and crusty. Transfer the scones to a rack to cool for a few minutes.

The Pointe Claire merchant who famously started selling "Pasta Salad Marois" in the days following "Pastagate" is again rebelling.
An OQLF inspector visited Swiss Vienna Pastry and Delicatessen and owner Harry Schick asked the man to leave.
The inspector pointed to several violations to Quebec's language law, Bill 101, and asked to take pictures. Schick refused. The inspector left and, according to Schick, said that he will be back.
"French and English are the same size," on signs in his store, a defiant Schick told CJAD 800's Rick Moffat. "To me, Anglophones and Francophones have equal rights in my store.
"Pasta Marois" has become one of the shop's top sellers, "and we've just added this week 'le Mac and Cheese!'"
Schick seems to be daring the government to take extreme action.
"I will not pay the fine. What will they do? Put me in jail? Put 35 employees out of business by closing me down? I doubt it. Somebody is going to have to stop them."
Several merchants in the same mall on St. Jean blvd. tell CJAD 800 that they have been visited by the OQLF in recent days.
Schick is positioning himself as an Anglo martyr.
"[The government] is slowly but surely driving out Anglos. My daughter has already left. She will never come back to this province."
Should other Anglo business-owners follow Schick's lead? It depends, says lawyer and former Alliance Quebec president Brent Tyler, who is currently fighting dozens of cases against the OQLF.
"If they want to minimize the cost and it doesn't have anything to do with the principle of the matter, then by all means just pay the fine, correct the problem and move on," Tyler told CJAD 800. "If you want to make a point of it, then by forcing the government to go far, you may draw attention to what you're doing."
Tyler said one likely outcome from not paying OQLF fines is for the government to seize bank accounts or other assets to recover the outstanding amount. They can also sell property at auction if necessary; "there are a number of recourses available."

No Nintendo console release would be complete without an appearance from Mario and crew, and while we will no doubt see a new 3D Mario appear at some point in the future, this time around the soprano plumber is returning (re-returning?) to his 2D roots. Of course, this isn't his first time back, rather this could accurately be called a sequel to Super Mario Bros Wii, so is this just a rehashing of the last one, or, like Super Mario 3/Super Mario World, a game in its own right? Yes, to both. For those of you who played Super Mario Bros Wii, this is clearly an iteration, but does enough to improve the experience that it deserves a lot of praise.
Though his 3D counterparts have reigned supreme since the days of the nintendo 64, Super Mario Bros has long been a byword for platforming excellence. Indeed for folks in and around my age bracket, Super Mario Bros was our first experience with console gaming, forever tied to gaming in general, and at the heart of all 2D platformers released since. The Wii version was a fun return, filled with nostalgia, and with the addition of multiplayer that while hilarious, could also strain relationships. It was criticized by some as lacking the challenge that is integral to the 2d platformer... the same can't be said of its Wii U sibling. Starting off casually enough, SMB U builds your confidence before gradually making a return to a level of difficulty that should be expected of all platformers, but Mario in particular. There's a generous helping of old and new combined in this title, bridging the gap between its earlier incarnations and this newest console. Long time fan's of the series will be pleased to see the return of elements of old, like Yoshi, the tanooki suit, ample secret areas, a wonderful seamless overworld and so on, and thrilled to see that the level design is an excellent return to the standards of old, while newer players will simply reap the benefits.
Multiplayer returns, in all its frustrating glory, but with an added feature/player. Yes, it can be a five player experience this time around, with the touchpad available as a helper/hindrance. A player manning the Wii U's proprietary controller can lay down platforms and mess with enemies (or their fellow players). Challenge modes are a new addition to the series, and a separate experience from the story mode. Distilling the timing and skill of platforming and presenting it in a series of challenges, like, speed runs, stomping on things, avoiding fireballs, they're isolated and entertaining, and sure to be a highlight, particularly for sort of people who complained the last Super Mario Bros wasn't challenging enough.
Super Mario Bros U is a great launch title for Nintendo's newest console. It does enough with the old and adds enough of the new to bring ensure the experience (that has been with us nearly 30 years) maintains the level of charm, difficulty and, well, Mario, that it can be rightfully called a Mario Bros game, rather than a sad, watered down version of something we used to love. It's also so thoroughly Nintendo that it's a fitting title to release out of the gate. While I'm sure there will be a host of new ideas and innovation to come before very long, I'm glad this experience, the Mario platformer, has received the HD current gen treatment it deserves.
Super Mario Bros U is available now for the Wii U.

Featured Golf News
For Golf Facilities Wanting More Women Golfers . . .
Two national week-long women's golf promotions are coming up in June and July. To Cybergolfs women readers, make sure your golf course knows about these events and pass this article on to them. The best way to improve golf for women is to encourage more women to play more golf. Encourage your course to get on the bandwagon for these two important weeks.
To golf course operations and managers: By registering your facility's participation on the PGA-sponsored Play Golf America website (and on the National Golf Course Owners website), women golfers will be able to find your course through a zip code search. Advertisements for the weeks events will be appearing in several national golf publications, and you will save marketing dollars by piggy-backing onto the marketing dollars spent by the industry. But to be included in the websites, facilities must register soon.
The June 3-10 event is the American Express Womens Golf Week. This is the second year of the promotion presented by Golf For Women Magazine and growing with Suzy Whaley as its chairwomen and now American Express as its major sponsor. The deadline for getting your course registered and listed in the website is April 7. (If you miss the deadline, you will still be able to participate but will rely more on your own advertising.) For more information, visit http://www.playgolfamerica.com/pages/home_wgwa.cfm. The registration process is easy.
The week of July 10-16 is the well-established Take Your Daughter to the Course Week sponsored by the National Golf Course Owners Association. A facility does NOT have to be a member of the NGCOA to participate in the program. To learn how to register your course for this week, see www.playgolfamerica.com or go directly to http://www.ngcoa.org/pageview.asp?doc=546. The deadline for registering with the NGCOA is June 1.
And plan ahead. In addition to the national publicity these events will receive, line up your local publicity. Add a special raffle, a unique lesson program or a pro-shop promotion and publicize them with an article in your local paper. Remember, women golfers usually do not travel more than 30 minutes to the golf course. So take advantage of the national publicity while thinking "local" for your promotion.
A final word of advice: If your facility decides to participate in these national womens golf promotions, make sure your facility is women-friendly. This is the perfect time to repaint the ladies restrooms. See a complete list of best practices for attracting women golfers on http://www.nancyberkley.com/676303.html. If you have any questions, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nancy Berkley writes the Womens Page for Cybergolf. She is an industry expert in marketing golf to women. See www.berkleyconsulting.com. Nancy can be reached at email@example.com.

Browns interviewing Chudzinski for coaching job
CLEVELAND -- Rob Chudzinski might get a third shot at coaching the Browns. Maybe this time as the head man.
A person familiar with the meeting says Chudzinski, Carolina's offensive coordinator the past two seasons, interviewed Wednesday with the Browns. Chudzinski had two previous stints as an assistant with Cleveland, the team he rooted for as a kid growing up in Toledo, Ohio.
Chudzinski is visiting the team's facility in Berea, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams are not confirming any interviews. Chudzinski's interview comes one day after the Browns met with another former assistant, Marc Trestman, currently coach of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes.
The Plain Dealer first reported Chudzinski's interview.
Chudzinski, 44, has spent the past two seasons with the Panthers working with quarterback Cam Newton. Carolina finished fifth in total offense in 2011 and 12th last season under Chudzinski. He was Cleveland's tight ends coach in 2004, but was fired along with the rest of Butch Davis' staff. He returned to the club in 2007 as the offensive coordinator for Romeo Crennel.
Last year, Chudzinski interviewed for head coaching jobs with St. Louis, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay.
Chudzinski's connections with the Browns run deep.
He grew up pulling for Cleveland and was thrilled when his first NFL coaching job was on Davis' staff. After he left Cleveland the first time, he spent two seasons as San Diego's tight ends coach, working with perennial Pro Bowl standout Antonio Gates, before he was hired by Crennel in 2007.
That year, the Browns won 10 games -- their most wins since 1999 -- and had four players make the Pro Bowl. However, 2008 didn't go nearly as well as injuries and a six-game losing streak to close the season resulted in a 4-12 record and the firing of Crennel. Cleveland's offense sputtered in Chudzinski's second year.
He went back to the Chargers for two more seasons before he was hired in Carolina.
FOX Sports reported the team will interview Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, the first known defensive coach to meet with the Browns.
Zimmer, who never has been a head coach, has been in charge of the Bengals defense since 2008.

Canyons Aquatics Swim Club, based in Valencia, will host an Open Water Junior Olympics event at Castaic Lake on Monday.
The event consists of kids from Southern California and as far away as Las Vegas and Boulder, Colo, Osowski said.
Athletes have already qualified for the Castaic event, which serves as a championship for the region.
"If it goes well it will be a staple for all future summer Junior Olympics to come," Osowski said.
The event comes on the heels of the Summer Sectional meet held at the Aquatics Center from July 17-21.
That event was part of the Speedo Championships Series and drew swimmers from Southern and Central California and Nevada, according to Osowski.
"We have a really good momentum and we're hoping to build on that momentum," says Canyons Aquatics President Mark Osowski. "We've already been selected to host the winter Junior Olympics, which will be held at (Santa Clarita Aquatics Center) in January."

New 'Pestaurant' Serves Customers Crickets, Worms And Scorpions
A pop up restaurant by the name of 'Pestaurant' in London has opted not to serve the traditional English meal of fish and chips but instead is offering a more unique dining experience: Passer byers were treated to roasted scorpions, vinegar crickets and mealworms.
Customers lined up near St Peter's Cathedral on Thursday and seemed excited to taste the interesting menu:
"Crunchy and like a kind of like crisp flavor"
"This is better than crisps, yeah, it is better for the kids yeah."
"I tried the mealworms and the worm. Crunchy. The mealworms have got more flavor, but I think it is because they've got a dusting of something, but yeah, definitely crunchy, that's the best way to describe it."
People in London appear to be embracing the new adventurous diet of bugs, as new information floods in about their nutritional value. In addition, edible insects were described by the United Nations as a potential source of food for the world's population that is rapidly growing.

This well planned book will be a valuable tool in the hands of diligent and persevering students of medicine who can devote to its study the time and effort needed to master its contents. Medical nomenclature, and many English words as well, carry new meaning when the student has even a bowing acquaintance with Latin and Greek.
About three fifths of the book is devoted to Latin and the remainder to Greek. Each section is developed in the same general way. The plan of instruction is necessarily simple. Three fourths of the Latin section, for example, is devoted to vocabulary study, the remainder to pronunciation, declensions, verbs, nouns, adjectives, prefixes, suffixes and phrases. Special attention is given to the Greek alphabet and to vowel and consonant changes. The vocabularies, which show Latin and Greek sources, include numerous illustrative examples of the English uses of the words and of their medical

If an individual is determined to be under the age of 18 and without adult supervision, he/she faces being escorted from the premises by Detroit Police.
Assistance will be given if the minor needs help contacting an adult for transportation home. Loiterers also may be ticketed, which could result in fines. In addition to uniformed officers, undercover officers will be on duty to ensure public safety and monitor the premises. For further information, contact the Office of Public Information at 313-596-2200.

mandy if it's any consolation, i can watch almost any horror movie out there, and yawn thru it, but i can't bear watching godzilla vs. the smog monster i saw it as a kid and it horrified me, and i saw it about a year and a half ago and my heart started beating and i nearly peed myself. i had to turn it off. my friends tease me, but i really do freak out.
sy- yay! i usually post about some old or obscure movie or director, and nobodyelse seems to know what i'm talking about. it feels like i'm crazy sometimes...i was thinking about lola montez and how it's one of those movies that is kind of this brilliant technical catalogue-- it reminds me of bertolucci's the conformist or fassbinder's the bitter tears of petra von kant which, are just as much about film technique. in the case of the bitter tears is almost an excuse to explore the use of wipes, editing and fades in film. each is breathtakingly beautiful, but there is a wonderful love of cinema that is at it's heart.

Word referring to the rumored concept that GM was planning to build with Toyota years ago. Seeing the quality of the two companies, people referred to a half-TOYota, half-chevroLET concept to be a Toylet.
That Toylet's only good for one thing...

Patrick Ewing, Jr is a Knick.
Frederick Weis, the worst draft pick in this generation of Knicks basketball that I am aware of, is finally gone.
Today is a good day.
Thanks to Paulnoize for breaking it here on Knicksdefense in the last post.
I have not seen very much of Ew2's game, but for those of you that have, is he any better than Malik Rose? If so, we'll take him.
This sort of reminds me of when Allan Houston announced that comeback at this time last season. There were defenders that considered it nothing more than a publicity stunt, and for all intensive purposes they were right. Who knows if this latest move will result in a spike in season ticket sales. If they really wanted my money all they had to do was get the OG Ewing and Oakley on that bench as assistants to teach Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph how to play Knick basketball.
Imagine if Houston makes his second comeback attempt with the Knicks? Maybe if we could have sent Zbo packing earlier this summer we could have had Camby back as well. Houston, Camby, Ewing, throw in a Spree and a JVG and you've got nostalgia, if not another lottery team…
But I say give the kid a chance, if he at least has the heart and hustle that his father brought to the basketball court every night for 15 years, he may earn a spot on this roster ahead of career underachievers such as Jerome James.
Oh, did you guys hear? I heard Marbury is buying a jet of some kind. Whatever.
Goodbye Freddy… We should have drafted Artest, but you already knew that, didn't you?
Jacked this clip from Berman's. Enjoy.

FAIRFIELD TWP - Trustee Barry Miner has worked up a job description for the three township road crew members and expects to have it ready for the March 7 meeting.
Miner said he spoke with Road Supervisor Melvin Miller about it, noting that the road crew "pretty much does everything."
He added, "The longer I thought about it the better I though it would be to have one job description for all."
He asked the other trustees to look it over to see if there was anything to "clean up" and possibly pass it for inclusion in the township policies.
Miner said they can look at pay ranges for similar-type position in other townships and the state, "So they can have a goal they can work for. That way it's a clear, defined path. That way it would be beneficial for for everyone."
Looking at Miller, Trustee Chairman Bob Hum said, "I like having just one description for the three guys and one for you.
"If we want to adjust wages we can go into executive session ... I'd like to have a road map."
In other business, Miller requested and received approval to purchase cold patch for $2,000 from Tri-county.
He has been looking around for a specific slag and Trustee Carl Garwood said he had been trucking slag and they had thousands of tons of No. 4 but have run out. "They're putting it into these gas wells (roadways) and they're running out," he said.
Miller said they'll advertise for it and suggested setting up bids at the next meeting.
Also, Miller advised that to follow up on the traffic study on Esterly Road a letter was needed to request if from the county.
Miner said he would draw it up and said the study will be performed at both Cherry Fork and state Route 344.
Hum said, "Just to put them on 344 would give us a false count."
Miller also said the diesel pump had arrived but had not been installed in the pickup bed yet.
He also received the OK to purchase a leather drill press belt that will be made at Simonds Leather for $120.
Zoning Officer Kymberly Seabolt said business was as usual and picking up a little.
Garwood said he received a call from a resident about a neighbor digging a big hole and burying a horse, asking what the township would do.
"That's a new thing," Garwood said, noting he referred it to Seabolt.
The township has no authority over human remains and trustees didn't see where they did over animal remains either and suggested checking with the health department.
Seabolt said she would "get it squared away."

B2B companies make products to solve problems and make their customers' lives better or easier. B2B service organizations help customers run their businesses more efficiently or more cost effectively. These are noble causes. Sure, if we are successful at it, we make money, but a business product that doesn't add value to the business is not worth considering.
And social media doesn't help this problem.
If you have a bad product or service, social media provides both an outlet for frustrated customers and the means to amplify the message further.
So let's assume that you have an awesome product that solves problems, a great team to provide services, and even a great sales staff to explain the value proposition and close deals. With all that awesomeness in mind, take a look at your trade show presence.
Really take a look at it.
Are you telling a compelling story? Are you enticing prospects to stop by and chat about your great products and services?
Or are you giving away pens and hard candy? Maybe you have progressed to give away squeeze balls in the shape of the world. Maybe you made enough of them that it is in the shape of your logo. These are perfect for the conference attendees who need a gift for their children. I know it has always worked for me. Even as a teenager my daughter still loves kitschy trade show giveaways.
And don't even get me started on collecting business cards, scanning badges and any other means of gathering leads. "I just need a business card to give you one of those squeeze balls." What's the follow-up plan for those leads? Gathering dust on the sales manager's desk?
Are you building awareness at the top of the funnel? Are you qualifying prospects or are you just trying to hit a metric that someone else imposed on the marketing team?
How about sending them an email newsletter or your latest ebook? It's better than many of the emails I get. "Thanks for stopping by our booth. Did we tell you how awesome we are while you were there? Can we schedule a phone call with our junior level inside sales person to remind you how awesome we are?" This is not a follow-up plan. This is spam. And nobody will respond.
This is what happens when your only trade show metric is gathering leads rather that acquiring qualified prospects. And it is obvious to everyone who walks by your booth.
Here are 5 tips to change the outcome of your next trade show:
1. Adapt your personas for the trade show audience to make sure you present the correct message to the onsite audience.
2. Focus on qualified prospects as a metric of success, not raw lead numbers.
3. Don't bother giving away something with no connection to your business that provides no value.
4. Create a true follow-up plan with a timeline, prepared emails and phone scripts and areas of responsibility.
5. Enhance your trade show presence with social media by posting and sharing content resources before, during and after the event to provide value to all attendees, but especially your targeted prospects.

Q: My dog is smart and sneaky. When his "mother" gives him an allergy pill inside crumbled meat or sausage, he appears to eat it. But he's fooled us. We realized this when we found three pills under the bed. Can dogs plan in advance to hide their pills? Also, our dog was once attacked by a big, black dog, and now he's aggressive toward all big, black dogs. Has he become a racist? – J.O., Cyberspace
A: I doubt your dog plans in advance to hide his pills. Instead, he's managed to detect the pills by their scent – even hidden inside a lump of meat. Many dogs detect pills in the same way, but the meat is so appealing that they inhale everything in seconds. For your dog, the pill is too much of a turn off.
Some might argue that your dog isn't intentionally attempting to fool you; he simply doesn't want the pill and deposits it out of the way. Others might argue that he is being "sneaky."
To solve the problem, simply medicate your dog without attempting to hide the pills in his food. If you don't know how to do this, consult a veterinary professional. One way is to offer a yummy treat, then the (apparently bitter) pill, followed by a second treat.
As for black dogs, your pet is merely responding to them based on experience. I know of a dog who was once hit by a branch falling from a tree. For the rest of his life, he avoided walking under trees. You or I might be tempted to behave the same way, though we do have a different thought process compared to dogs.
Once bitten, dogs don't forget, but how they respond may vary from dog to dog. For example, if a Dachshund is responsible for biting another dog, the pooch that was bitten may become wary of all Dachshunds, all small dogs, or even all dogs. Other dogs who've been bitten may not be affected at all.
Q: I'm sold on pet insurance and am looking around for a company. Comparing policies is confusing, though. Any hints? – R.S., Ann Arbor, Mich.
A: Dr. Jules Benson, vice president of veterinary services at Petplan Pet Insurance, has some general advice.
"What are you seeking?" he asks. "No question, everyone with pet insurance should want coverage for catastrophic illness or accidents. But are you also interested in coverage for preventative care? That's a matter of personal preference."
Benson continues, "Some companies may only cover conditions at the start. So, if a pet develops allergies, say, within the first year, the condition is covered. However, when the policy comes up for renewal, the problem is now considered a pre-existing condition. This is something to watch out for."
Reimbursement is all over the map. Some companies reimburse half or less of the original cost of care. Petplan, for example, provides reimbursement ranging from 80 percent to 100 percent. Pay attention to how that reimbursement works, Benson notes. With some companies, there may be a limit of a dollar amount per claim – say $500 or $1,000. At Petplan, the limit is not per claim, but up to $22,000 per pet annually.
Benson is the first to concede that choosing a pet insurance company is complicated, since you're not always comparing "apples to apples."

"They called me up and asked if I was interested," Federline, 31, tells PEOPLE. "I was up for a different part originally, but then they didn't want me playing myself. I think they thought it would be funnier for me as a Canadian border guard."
One day of shooting on location in Vancouver later, Federline was transformed, donning a hat, uniform and badge for his cameo in American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, out on DVD on Dec. 22.
Newly svelte from his appearance on Celebrity Fit Club, Federline is ready and available for more work. "If anybody has any more cameos – or actual roles they want to me in – that would be great," he says. – Mike Fleeman

5 Insane Moments From the Manliest Movie Ever Made
#2. The Little-Kid Subplot
Along the same lines, but somehow even crazier, is a subplot involving a young fan who wants Ed Harris' autograph. He shows up at the beginning of the film, trying to get Harris to sign a motorcycle magazine for him, but Harris refuses because that's not what being a Knightrider is about, man. You know that bit in the trailer where Harris yells, "I'm not trying to be a hero! I'M FIGHTING THE DRAGON!"? That's what it's about. I paid very close attention in this movie and didn't see a single dragon, but I suspect it might be a metaphor for actual buckets of cocaine. Point being, it doesn't make much sense in context, either.
Regardless of dragon presence, Harris eventually realizes that this is a dick move, so after he beats up the sheriff, he seeks to rectify it in the weirdest possible way: by straight up rolling into the kid's elementary school, covered in blood, interrupting the Pledge of Allegiance, and giving him his actual bloodstained longsword.

Senior managers at the Times knew one of their reporters had hacked the emails of a police blogger but withheld the information from a High Court judge.
Editor James Harding told the Leveson Inquiry that he had no idea his paper was fighting an injunction preventing it from revealing the identity of the award-winning NightJack blogger and that he had been too busy to read an email confirming that a Times journalist had illegally accessed the author's Hotmail account.
Harding was recalled to the public inquiry into press standards to clarify when he knew about the email hacking, in May 2009. He insisted he was made aware of the full details of the incident only in the past 10 days, after the paper went back through internal emails discussing its "outing" of Lancashire police blogger Detective Constable Richard Horton.
But during uncomfortable testimony, the editor was confronted with an email copied to him which showed that at least two of his most senior staff knew by June 5, 2009, that Patrick Foster had hacked Horton's emails to reveal his identity before later confirming that information.
The email was sent hours after a hearing before Justice Eady at which the Times opposed an attempt by Horton to obtain an order protecting his anonymity. During the hearing the paper failed to inform its barrister or the judge that it knew about the hacking.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Police are searching for two men after they geared up from head-to-toe in black clothing, complete with black ski masks, and robbed a Chinese restaurant at gunpoint on Sunday night.
Around 10:55 p.m., officers were called to a reported robbery at the Chef King restaurant at 5628 Old Shell Rd., said Officer Terence Perkins, public information officer for the Mobile Police Department.
An employee told police two men, armed with handguns, had walked into the restaurant and demanded property from the business, Perkins said. The property was not identified by police.
More than one employee was in the restaurant when the armed men first arrived, although Perkins could not specify how many people were present. He said he was not aware of any customers at the business during the robbery and said no one was injured in the altercation.
The suspects in the case were last seen fleeing on foot after taking property from Chef King, Perkins said.
The suspects are described as two black men wearing black ski masks, black gloves, black shirts and black pants. One suspect is believed to be around 6-foot-2 and 130 to 140 pounds. The second suspect is around 5-foot-9 and between 180 and 185 pounds.
Anyone with information on the suspects or the robbery can contact MPD at 251-208-7211.
It is at least the second time in just over a month that a Chef King restaurant has been targeted by robbers.
On Jan. 21, a man wearing a Captain America t-shirt attempted to rob the Chef King II in Semmes, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. The man fled the area, unsuccessful, after his plan to rob the restaurant using a threatening note failed due to an employee's inability to read English, deputies said.

NEW YORK — Jeremy Hefner, who turned heads with performances in June that established him as a key part of the starting rotation — if only for a time — will likely undergo Tommy John surgery because of a partially torn medial collateral ligament.
The team said Hefner is mulling whether to seek a second opinion, after the club's orthopedic surgeon, David Altchek, recommended the procedure. It would keep Hefner out for most or perhaps all of next season.
Meantime, right-hander Jenrry Mejia, put on the disabled list after leaving Saturday's game in San Diego, will have surgery to remove bone spurs in his pitching elbow, the club announced. For weeks, the plan had been for Mejia to deal with the problem in the offseason, but surgery is now planned in the next seven to 10 days.
A third wounded pitcher, closer Bobby Parnell, out with a herniated disc in his neck, said he received a positive report from the doctor yesterday, but said it was doubtful he would be allowed to pitch again this season and risk a more serious injury.
"I'm pushing as hard as I can," he said, "but they have the reins."
• David Wright said before last night's game that there is no timetable for his return from a right hamstring injury. The Mets captain hurt the leg nearly three weeks ago. He said he felt no twinges in the leg, but that he was carefully following directions from the Mets medical staff.
"It's kind of frustrating," he said, before adding that the idea was to "gradually take baby steps."
He hopes, he said, to return to the lineup before the end of the season, to give him confidence going into next spring training.
• He is the second-highest run producer on the Mets, third on the team in home runs, and for pockets of the season has been their biggest power threat. But when John Buck returned to the team last night, fresh from a thee-day paternity leave, he was no longer the starting catcher. That job now belongs to Travis d'Arnaud, four games into his big-league career.
The news, delivered by manager Terry Collins, was not surprising because d'Arnaud was the main piece the Mets acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in the offseason R.A. Dickey trade. He has been labeled the best catching prospect in baseball.
The rookie was promoted from the minors as soon as Buck had to race home cross-country Friday night from San Diego, where the Mets were playing. Buck caught a red-eye flight, arriving at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan just in time for the birth of his third child, a boy named Bentley Ryan.

A 27-year-old Town of Lockport man was arrested and a suspected meth lab in a Ruhlman Road home in the township was busted about 8 a.m. Friday by the Niagara County Drug Task Force and state police.
Jeffrey M. Budde was taken into custody on charges of unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawfully dealing with a child.
Niagara County Sheriff James R. Voutour said a three-month investigation of the alleged lab operation revealed that a two-year-old child was in the residence while methamphetamine was being cooked.
The sheriff said at least two fires have taken place at the Ruhlman Road house in the past few months because of the meth operation. Units of the South Lockport Fire Company were on hand during Friday morning's raid as a precaution, the sheriff said.
Budde is being held in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or a $10,000 bail bond.

After a long development and testing phase we are pleased to make Gravity Forms v1.6 available as a public release. This is a feature packed release that adds a bunch of great new features and enhancements to an already powerful plugin.
From entirely new field types to major and minor enhancements to existing functionality, Gravity Forms v1.6 has a little something for everyone… including all sorts of new hooks and filters for developers to customize Gravity Forms even further!
Please note that documentation for Gravity Forms v1.6 is still in progress. Some of the new hooks and filters have been added to the Developer Documentation, however we are still in the process of working on the remainder of the documentation. But as with the core features and functionality of Gravity Forms, it's quick and easy to learn by just getting your feet wet by building a new form.
Here is a quick rundown of what is new in Gravity Forms v1.6:
List Field
The List Field is an entirely new field type that has been added under Advanced Fields in the form editor. The List Field allows users to enter a list of information into the form. It supports both a single column as well as configurable multi-column lists for capturing more complex data. Users can add additional rows to the list to add additional data when submitting a form.
Multi-Select Field and Enhanced Drop Down
We have added a new Multi-Select field with an option for an enhanced jQuery interface that makes using Multi-Selects easier for end users. We have also added an enhanced jQuery interface to the standard Drop Down field which allows user to search available options when using a drop down field.
Be sure to check the "Enable enhanced user interface" option to see the new jQuery interface when editing a Drop Down or Multi-Select Field. It is not currently turned on by default.
Javascript Masks
The Single Input Field has been enhanced to include a Javascript Mask option. This allows you to use Javascript to automatically format text entered into the field. There are some predefined masks to choose from, or you can choose to create your own custom mask.
Radio Button Other Option
The Multiple Choice field has been renamed to simply Radio Buttons and we have added an option to the Radio Button field to enable an Other option. If selected, the Radio Button field will give the user the option of entering their own value if one of the available options does not meet their needs.
Date and Time Field Enhancements
The Date Field has been enhanced to now support entering the data via Month, Day and Year drop downs. We have also enhanced the Time field so that it now has a 24 hour time format as an available option.
Form Settings Enhancements
We have added a new advanced form setting to require a user be logged in to view the form, or display a message if they are not logged in. The message also supports short codes so you could insert a Gravity Form short code to display an alternative form if they are not logged in.
We have also added additional options to the Limit Entries functionality. You can now limit entries based on time: Per day, Week, Month or Year.
Duplicate Fields
The Form Editor now supports duplicating fields when editing a form. If you select Duplicate when editing a field you can immediately duplicate that field and it will insert a new field with the same values directly below the field you are duplicating.
Post Field Enhancements
We have enhanced several post fields to add new capabilities. One of the most useful new enhancements is Featured Image support for the Post Image field. There is now an option on the Post Image field to set that image as the Featured Image for the post that is created.
The Post Title and Post Body fields now have an additional Post setting to set the Post Format. This is useful for themes that support multiple formats so you can configure the Post Format that is set for the post that is created.
We have added 2 new available field types to the Post Custom Field. You can now use Checkboxes as well as the brand new List Field with the Post Custom Field. This makes storing complex data with Posts easier. Please note that values are stored as multiple custom field items so you must know how to loop through to display custom fields that use the same name to make use of these field types on the front end of your site.
Akismet Integration
Gravity Forms can now integrate with the Akismet anti-spam service to automatically protect your forms from spam. All you need to do to enable Akismet integration is install and activate Akismet and the integration will happen automatically. With Akismet activated there is a new area to the Entry List that allows you to view entries marked as Spam and you can manually mark entries as Spam or Ham (not spam).
Trash Functionality
We have added Trash functionality to form entry management. Now you can add an entry to Trash which does not delete it permanently. If you would like to delete an entry or entries permanently you can view the Trash and delete items permanently or choose to empty the trash. Once an item is deleted permanently so are any files that are associated with that entry.
Custom Bulk Add/Predefined Choices
You can now add, edit and delete predefined choices to the Bulk Add/Predefined Choices menu. This allows you to easily manage predefined choices you want to use in Drop Down, Radio Button, Checkbox and Multi-Select fields.
Resend Notifications and Bulk Print
When viewing entries on either the entry detail or entry list page you can now choose to resend notification emails or print multiple entries at once using the bulk print action.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
GeoVax and Vivalis signed a potentially €4 million biomanufacturing agreement for the production of GMP-grade materials for the latter's MVA-based vaccines. The firms have been working together since 2008, with financial support from the French innovation agency OSEO, to generate a process for manufacturing the MVA component of GeoVax' HIV/AIDS vaccines in Vivalis' duck embryonic stem-cell-derived EB66® cell line. The new supply agreement covers the production of master and working cell banks of the EB66 cells as the first step leading to production of clinical trial materials in Vivalis' own GMP facility.
The MVA vaccine products are in development both for the prevention of HIV infection and also as a component of a therapeutic product for already infected individuals, GeoVax explains. Phase IIa studies with the preventative MVA vaccine are ongoing through the U.S. government-sponsored HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), and Phase I therapeutic evaluation was initiated in 2010. "Currently, our MVA vaccine is grown in cells derived from embryonated chicken eggs," says Robert McNally, Ph.D., GeoVax' president and CEO. "The EB66 cell line is a much more practical and cost effective method to manufacture commercial-scale recombinant MVAs."
Vivalis says the deal with GeoVax is the third manufacturing agreement signed this year, and also follows on from five new EB66 cell line agreements and three supply agreements signed in 2011. Earlier this month Vivalis and DELTA-VIR announced that the two companies inked a commercial agreement for the manufacture GMP-grade material of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in the SEB66® cell line. Vivalis says the deal is first step of a broader collaboration between the companies to develop an EB66-based production process of purified NDV virus and to manufacture clinical grade NDV to be used in conjunction with a cell-based antitumor vaccine for therapeutic treatment of different human neoplasms.
The EB66 cell line is already being used to produce two vaccines that are undergoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Japan. In addition to its utility in viral vaccine manufacture, Vivalis is also exploiting the cell line for the production of recombinant proteins including antibodies.

Michael Laudrup has resigned as coach of Primera Division side Real Mallorca, indicating his relationship with club owner Lorenzo Serra Ferrer had become untenable.
Laudrup made the announcement at a press conference this morning - hours after the dismissal of his assistant Erik Larsen, who was sacked last night after criticising Serra Ferrer.
"This situation cannot continue like this. From now on, Mallorca will be whatever it is Serra Ferrer wants,'' Laudrup said.
The 47-year-old former Denmark international had previously expressed his frustration at not having been able to add quality to his squad during the transfer window, particularly after the departure of Jonathan de Guzman to Villarreal.
Larsen went a step too far for the Mallorca board, though, when he reportedly described Serra Ferrer to www.sporten.dk as a "bad person'' and someone "unfit
to lead the club''.
Laudrup acknowledged last week managers being sacked was "a part of football''
and his side had "no other option but to win on Sunday'' at home to Sociedad -
which they duly did, 2-1, to end a three-game losing streak in which they had failed to score a goal.
He revealed at a brief press conference, during which he did not take questions, he had been contemplating his future for a while but did not want to leave with the team in the lower reaches of the standings.
"Why go now that you've won a game and you're in the middle of the table?'' he questioned. "I had long been thinking about this, but I could not do it with the team in a bad situation.
"Now I can quit being in the middle of the standings.
"You want to ask me, 'Why did you do it if there was only one person who
didn't want you?'
"Stay, and if things go badly they sack you and give you all the money from
your contract.
"But I did not come here for the money. I came for the project; Mallorca were a club in need, that had to start from zero and I looked forward to working with many youth players and veterans.''
The highly-decorated former Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder, who was five years ago voted Denmark's best player ever, sealed a return to Spanish football when he took up the Mallorca reins in July 2010.
His discontent at off-field matters has become all too apparent, though, prompting him to call time on his reign after just 14 months.
"It's yet another day we're here talking about things other than the games being played,'' he was quoted as saying at today's press conference.
"Yesterday one of my assistants was fired. Once again, it is very difficult - if not impossible - to find the peace required to work here.
"The team is hurt by this situation. What we need is calm and I cannot go home every night, angry, disappointed. I have a family.''
Mallorca president Jaume Cladera responded by telling club website
www.rcdmallorca.es: "We have spoken (to Laudrup) to resolve the situation in
the best interests of the club.
"We are negotiating with his representative and looking at a variety of
options to reach an agreement.
"As yet we haven't agreed on a financial package but we hope it won't take too long to do so. There has been no official resignation as of yet - he is just doing what he thinks is in the best interests of the club.''
Laudrup started his managerial career as assistant to Denmark boss Morten Olsen
in 2000 before taking over at the Brondby helm two years later. He guided the Danish club to a league and cup double in 2005.
A short but impressive stint followed with Getafe in 2007-08, during which he took the club to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup and the final of the Copa del Rey, and then an ill-fated seven-month spell with Spartak Moscow which ended in dismissal in April 2009.

9 judges charged with Philadelphia ticket fixing
PHILADELPHIA -- Get caught speeding? Running a red light? Leaving the scene of an accident? For years, it was no problem, authorities say -- so long as you were in Philadelphia and knew the right people.
The city's traffic court was the place where moving violations went to die, according to a federal indictment that charged nine judges with fixing tickets for friends, relatives, business associates and political allies.
A "widespread culture of giving breaks on traffic citations" persisted in the city, federal prosecutors alleged, though everyday citizens were out of luck. Only the well-connected got breaks.
Defense attorneys suggested that the judges made no money from the favors and that the court has worked that way for a century. The defendants include six current and former Philadelphia traffic court judges and three suburban judges who had stints at the court.
Among them is former Traffic Court Judge Willie Singletary, who had been kicked out of office for showing cell-phone photos of his genitals to a female clerk. A court clerk and two businessmen also were charged.
The state's Judicial Conduct Board moved quickly to suspend the judges without pay, pending the outcomes of their cases.

Oregon will ring in 2013 with several free events commenorating the historic 150th Anniversary of " Freedom Eve/ Watch night" and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln on January 1, 1863. The free events are listed after these "TEN FACTS YOU DIDN"T KNOW ABOUT THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION."
1. The Emancipation Proclamation that President Lincoln signed on January 1, 1863 did not free all the slaves. The proclamation's wording makes clear that the only slaves freed were the slaves in the rebellious states outside of the Union as of New Year Day 1863, and even that could not be enforced until occupied (in most cases) by Union forces. "
all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free
2. There was a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation issued on September 22, 1862. The pending Emancipation Proclamation was first announced by President Abraham Lincoln in September 1862 and then was signed by our 16th President on January 1, 1863. This preliminary Proclamation gave notice to the Confederate states about the upcoming date that the Proclamation would go into effect; in essence giving them a last chance to rejoin the Union. "Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States and in accordance with my purpose so to do publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days, from the day first above mentioned "
3. Even though the outcome of the Battle of Antietam (Sept 17, 1862) in Maryland was not a clearly decisive victory for the Union Army, it nevertheless provided Lincoln with the opportunity to issue the Proclamation. At this point in the war, Lincoln was (as some historians described) desperately waiting for a Union victory to issue his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The Union victory at Antietam stopped the Northern invasion of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Union troops numbering 75,000 engaged with Confederate soldiers numbering 40,000 in the bloodiest single day of the Civil War that ended with a combined casualty count of 26,000 for both sides.
4. The Emancipation Proclamation was a selective document, and named specific states and counties ("parts of states") where it would take effect. The proclamation was a specific document and named entire states deemed to be in rebellion, and exempted certain areas considered to be part of the Union. For example: " Louisiana, except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles " Ironically, this also meant that any area under Union control could still permit slave masters to hold on to their slaves.
5. Lincoln's Proclamation was not the first Emancipation Proclamation issued during the Civil War. As the Union troops encountered more fugitive slaves (Butler's "contrabands of war") during the course of the war, the Emancipation Proclamation ensured that the rights of these self-emancipated slaves were not abrogated as they had been in the early months of the war. Some slaves seeking freedom were returned to their masters where torture or death as an example to the remaining slaves was a definite possibility. One notable example of a prematurely issued emancipation proclamation occurred after General Nathaniel Lyon was killed in the Battle of Wilson's Creek in August. Major General John C. Frémont imposed martial law in Missouri. His Frémont Emancipation was part of a military proclamation he issued on August 30, 1861 in St. Louis, Missouri that placed the state of Missouri under martial law and decreed that all property of those bearing arms in rebellion would be confiscated, including slaves, and that confiscated slaves would subsequently be declared free. Fremont's proclamation was at odds with Lincoln's own plan and the president eventually ordered Frémont to rescind the edict on September 11, 1861. Major General Fremont was soon removed from command of the Department of the West, but Fremont's Emancipation Proclamation helped to shape Lincoln's plans for issuing his own in 1862.
6. For the first time, the Emancipation Proclamation allowed for the recruitment of free blacks and freed slaves into the Union military forces. Over the course of the war, almost 200,000 free blacks and former slaves joined the Union Army; most becoming part of the United States Colored Troops (USCT).Their involvement came at a critical time in the Civil War, and these soldiers, including the USCT soldiers buried in Oregon;s historic pioneer cemeteries. For more information about these Union veterans, check out the website the Oregon Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission has created for the event st http://150yearsoftheemancipationproclamation.yolasite.com/
7. The Emancipation Proclamation, together with the Union victory at Antietam helped to block any European intervention. The Emancipation Proclamation ended the distinct possibility of any European recognition of the Confederate States as a legitimate country. Any intervention by these countries on the behalf of the Southern states would henceforth be seen as support of the institution of slavery.
8. The Cherokee Nation issued their own Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. In February of 1863, the Cherokee Nation sent a delegation to Washington D.C. The text of the Cherokee Proclamation includes the following:
"Those appointed to proceed to Washington and instructed to assure the President of the United States of the desire of the Authorities and People to remove that Institution from the statutes and Soil of the Cherokee Nation and of their wish to provide for that object at once upon the Principle of Compensation to the owners of Slaves not disloyal to the Government of the United States as tendered by Congress to slaves which shall abolish Slavery to their midst." The proclamation went on to state that : " any person who before any of the Courts of the Nation having jurisdiction in the case shall be found guilty of Holding a Slave or Slaves, Shall be fined in a Sum, not less than One thousand Dollars not more than Five thousand Dollars. Any Slave So held in Bondage shall be forever free. So it shall be enacted."
(Source: primary document on the website Blackpast.org)
9. Unfortunately, both the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, and the eventual winning of the Civil War by the Union forces did not guarantee immediate freedom for all slaves. Oregon resident and retired Pullman Porter Joseph Anderson Wisdom's interview reprinted in the January 12, 1983 edition of Mollala Bulletin printed an excerpt about Wisdom's personal experience with this exception to the rule,when he was a slave living on his slaveholder's farm in Adair County, Kentucky.
Wisdom explained to a local reporter that he had to take his master to court where he won his freedom in September 1865:
"When President Lincoln wrote his proclamation saying slaves were free, a lot of slave owners paid no attention to it, for they thought the South was going to win. Even after General Lee surrendered, many planters still made their former slaves work. The man I was working for wouldn't turn me loose. If you tried to get away they set the dogs on you, and if they caught you they clubbed you, so I didn't want to try it. They passed a law saying any former slave owner who was still holding his slaves and it was proved in court, would be fined and sent to jail."
10. The first official celebration of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation took place on January 1, 1863 in Washington D.C. (Washington City) even before Lincoln signed the Proclamation at 2:00pm in the afternoon, after a three hour reception where he had shaken the hands of several hundred people. "For many others in various parts of the country, the day was just beginning, for the celebrations were not considered official until word was received that the President had actually signed the Proclamation. The (former) slaves of the District of Columbia did not have to wait; however, for back in April 1862, the Congress had passed a law setting them free. (Source: The Emancipation Proclamation An Act of Justice by John Hope Franklin, Prologue 1993.)
Learn more about the actual signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and how it affected various African Americans who later settled in Oregon at one of three special events being held this week to commemorate the signing of the historic document. On Monday, December 31, 2012 a special illuminated vigil will be held at the Lincoln Statue in downtown Portland.
On Tuesday, January 1, 2013, bells will be rung across Portland at 2:00pm to mark the 150th anniversary of the actual time that Lincon signed the proclamation into law, and a special wreath-laying ceremony and a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation will take place starting at 2:00 pm at Lone Fir Cemetery, the final resting place of several Black Oregon pioneers.
Finally, on Saturday, January 5, 2013, a special multimedia program on "The Emancipation Proclamation, Freedom's Eve and Portland's Sara Wisdom" will be held starting at 11:00 am at the Midland branch of the Multnomah County Library located at 805 S.E. 122nd Avenue. All programs are free and open to the public. For more information please check out the website http://150yearsoftheemancipationproclamation.yolasite.com/

Redrawing The World's Energy Map Is Not The Answer
Technology is redrawing the world's energy picture, yet is this the right technology?
In a New York Times articles, it states that in the past few years, natural gas and hydrofracking for oil shale preserves have entered the picture as a viable alternative to foreign oil and possible a "bridge fuel" to renewable energy. The map is only becoming clearer.
Israel has discovered natural gas in its Mediterranean territories.
Norway has discovered feasible natural gas just north in its Arctic waters.
The prospects of deepwater oil reserves off the shores of Angola have been discovered.
The United States continues to debate the oil sands of Canada.
The discovery of natural gas and unconventional oil reserves brings promise to a global shift away from its dependency on the Middle East for its fuel consumption for decades to come. It means the halt in rising fuel prices for consumer and the ability for countries to literally fuel the development of their middle class.
It is all economics.
Natural gas releases methane, a greenhouse gas twenty times more concentrated than CO2, meaning the release of a much more effective and potent greenhouse gas.
The supply of the gas is gloomy, and the "expert" studies are far from concise and detailed – no on knows exactly how much domestic natural gas the United States is holding. Going off this, the estimation that there is enough natural gas to feed domestic energy consumption for 100 years, rest on the estimate that 2010 energy consumption rates remain constant. Does that mean our population will remain stagnant too? That capitalism won't push for more consumption?
The drilling process of natural gas is expensive and it is dangerous. The process releases more CO2 into the air, and methane escapes through leaks and extraction methods. The fracking process is also the suspect of regional earthquakes, increased spending in regional areas and health affects such as the contamination of local water tables.
This seems hardly worth all the work to keep fuel prices down for a few decades, while blasting our atmosphere and water with methane and causing local catastrophes like the BP Oil Spill.
Take a look at the article – economics has to stop being the forefront of thought. We need planning that is wrapped with environmentally sustainably and socially healthy viable options as opposed to what is the cheapest short-term option.

Hall, 24, hit .207 with five home runs, 21 RBI and seven stolen bases in 64 games this season for Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League.
He did not play in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to New Britain, and had seen playing time sparingly in recent weeks – after July 11, Hall saw action in only two games, pinch-hitting on July 17 vs. Reading and pinch-running on Monday against New Britain.
With Lastings Milledge joining Jeff Duncan, Wayne Lydon and Bobby Malek as outfielders on the Binghamton roster, there seemed to be little room for the left-handed hitting Hall.
Hall was originally a 12th round selection of the Arizona Diamondbacks and played in their system through 2004, making it as high as Triple-A Tucson.

As the Bush administration planned for a military response to the Sept. 11 attacks, an Amarillo couple who spent time in Afghanistan urged caution.
"I beg the military: don't go in there on foot," said Dj Sorenson.
Sorenson, an administrative officer for the Peace Corps in Kabul from 1968 to 1972, said committing troops to the rugged central Asian country would be foolhardy.
"Don't be dumb enough to do it," she said.
Her husband Bill Sorenson was an agricultural expert for the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization. He went to Afghanistan to help the farmers increase grape crop yield.
"They had grown grapes there the same way they had since the time of Christ," he said.
Bill Sorenson sounded wistful when he said, "We did accomplish a little, but it's all gone now."
Living in a Muslim country grated on Dj Sorenson's sensibilities.
"The rule was women could only work if they worked for their own government," she said.
Because Thursdays and Fridays were holy days in Afghanistan, Dj Sorenson and her Peace Corps charges had time to explore parts of the countryside.
In the central Bamiyan province, the young Peace Corps workers dared Sorenson to climb to the top of the giant statues of Buddha.
"Lordy, it was high," she said. "And then they blew them up."
In March, the ruling Taliban's reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, ordered all statues destroyed.
Using explosives, rockets and heavy artillery, Taliban soldiers blasted away at the two statues carved into the mountainside. The two Buddhas, 175 and 120 feet tall, had been damaged in fighting.
"They were so beautiful," Sorenson said. "I cried."
Neither Sorenson nor his wife thinks the United States is on the right path to avenging the attacks on the World Trade Center.
"The British got their butts kicked twice and the Russians were whipped," Bill Sorenson said. "Sending in troops will be extremely costly.
"Look, when an Afghan tribesman can take a 70-year-old rifle, with most of the rifling worn down, and take the head off a partridge without touching the body, I don't think our troops would want to take them on," he said.
"Besides, there's not enough standing in Kabul to make it worthwhile," Sorenson said. "There must be some other way to go."
"There are four tribes that are mean and fierce," Dj Sorenson said. "They have always been able to survive. There's a know-how in that land."
To succeed in fighting in Afghanistan, Bill Sorenson said, countries need intelligence. The United States "should have been gathering intelligence all along, but if they have, it hasn't come to light," he said.
One image Sorenson has seen on television reports really irks him.
"If you look closely at the food supply going into Afghanistan through the U.N, you'll see every bag has a U.S. symbol."
He said the Taliban - a "murderous tribe," according to his wife - take the food supplies and sell them for weapons and to support the regime.
"They don't care how many of their people die," Sorenson said.
