In a collaborative venture between New Mexico State University's Extension Service and the Tucumcari High School chapter of Family Career and Community Leaders of America, nine high school students will be teaching third graders about nutrition.
The program, entitled, "Eat Smart, Play Hard," involves three groups of three Tucucmari High School students that take turns visiting third grade classrooms at Tucumcari Elementary School. Katrina Hayes, of the extension service, helped three students teach a third grade class about healthy snacks last week. "I had the three students show the third graders how to make a "pyramid" snack based on the food pyramid," said Hayes. The students showed the third graders how to layer graham crackers, yogurt, raisins and sunflower seeds into a healthy snack."
The FCCLA members will have several sessions in the classrooms with Hayes, but will eventually teach a one-hour class to the third graders by themselves.
Hayes said the FCCLA members will be able to document their teaching session and use that documentation as part of a presentation later in the year during their FCCLA competition.
The "Eat Smart, Play Hard" program lasts through Dec. 8.

California Gov. Jerry Brown Finds Environmental Regs Inconvenient For High Speed Rail
California has lots and lots of environmental regulations that stifle business and its economy. Now, not all of them are bad, but, what's a Democrat governor to do when these regulations get in the way of his high dollar boondogle?
(Oakland Tribune) Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing to fast-track California's $69 billion high-speed rail project by easing legal scrutiny under the state's landmark environmental law, this newspaper learned Friday.
The proposal, which the Legislature would have to approve this month as part of launching the state's biggest-ever construction project, does not change the California Environmental Quality Act. But Brown's plan, while angering environmentalists, would have two major consequences.
First, it virtually takes away the final bullet in the chamber that project opponents were hoping to use to kill high-speed rail: a court-ordered injunction halting construction.
Under Brown's proposal, train foes would have to prove in court that the project causes major environmental problems, such as wiping out an endangered species or damaging extremely valuable land. In the past, opponents on the Peninsula have delayed planning for the project by convincing a judge of minor problems — for instance, that the state did not adequately study track vibrations. And Central Valley farmers Friday filed a lawsuit with a similar strategy in mind.
Second, the proposal adds to a growing number of large-scale projects that Brown and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger have tried to exempt from the most intense environmental legal scrutiny by arguing that California needs to create jobs quickly. In this case, court delays would void key federal high-speed rail grants needed to begin construction, which would prevent job creation and the development of a greener way to travel.
Environmentalists are not particularly happy with Brown's change of tune in attempting to essentially bypass the environmental regulations he previously supported when it was Someone Else attempting some sort of business venture. And a new poll shows that
Fifty-five percent of voters want to see the high-speed rail bond issue that was approved in 2008 back on the ballot, and 59 percent say they would now vote against it, according to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times survey (lat.ms/N9tTcm) published Saturday.
It's not like California is $16 billion in the hole and seeing the tax-base streaming out of the state for greener pastures. Let's spend tens of billions (final cost will most likely be above $100 billion) on a train that few will ride. And destroy the environment at the same time!

Surgery Illustrations & Illustrations of Surgical Techniques
We Provide a Medical Illustration Service for Surgeons & Clinicans
Medical illustrations are vital in many situations to convey new surgical techniques. Where surgeons are innovative with procedures, or even student physicians studying and writers papers, then this can be demonstrated through a series of illustrations of the medical innovation. Experienced or studying medical professionals know the benefit of employing a highly trained and experienced medical artist to create custom illustrations for their medical papers. The Medical-Artist.com team has had training at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and Joanna is a Registered Medical Illustration Practitioner. This is vital if illustrations of a medical matter are to convey the right information to the audience and ensure the new medical or surgical technique will be understood
If you are writing a medical paper, contact Joanna and her team to commission your own unique medical illustrations that will ensure your paper will be noticed by your peers. Quotations are provided and ideas of how best to use illustrations in your medical paper are readily discussed.
Medical illustrations can also be aimed at any audience, from the layperson to the professor, as their ability to engage the viewer whilst conveying complicated medical matter is unique.
Contact Joanna and the Medical-Artist.com team here to discuss your requirements for surgical illustrations.
Different Style and Medium Examples
Black and white line drawings are known for their ability to convey precise and clear information. Their simplicity means the viewer does not loose focus on what is important so they work well as illustrations for medical papers.
Colour illustrations can bring a paper to life, they draw the eye in, are brilliant when conveying the luminosity of human tissue especially in the abdomen area or or even pathology, and can instantly engage the viewer.
Digital illustrations are versatile and used for any project, however, they work best on repeat surgery stages. The same base image can be used again and again, giving clarity and continuity. It produces good medical instruments.

The Art of Producing Medical Illustrations for the Surgeon
A medical artist will work with the surgeon or medical expert to produce the illustrations, as often these areinnovative and new techniques. Working closely together, the surgeon will provide written text or even basic outline drawings. The artist will provide pencil sketches for review, before completing them as final medical illustrations.
The end result is accurate, anatomically correct, yet eye catching and appealing medical images that tell a story, whilst also breaking up long pages of text in a medical paper. For a surgeon to be able to communicate their new technique in a visual manner, makes for a more engaging and memorable paper. The medical art can also be extended for website use, as handouts at presentations or leaflets as they don't have to be confined to the paper.
The Surgeon can Choose a Style to Suit their Specialist Area
With a range of mediums and styles to hand when creating illustrations for medical professionals you can decide the best method, or what suits the budget, each time. Joanna can provide a range of illustrative mediums in colour digital, pen and ink, pastel, mixed media and pencil. Styles available are providing as 2D full colour illustrations, charts and graphs, PowerPoint presentations or animations or line drawings. New requests and ideas are always welcomed.
Why do Surgeons use Medical Illustrators for Surgical Papers?
Throughout all fields of surgery, practising surgeons and those writing medical papers on new findings and new surgery techniques, professionals use a medical artist to create illustrations of their medical or clinical findings. Joanna' s medical illustrations of surgery, offer an invaluable service to any surgeon or medical professional looking to publish papers on their work. Illustrations for medical communications, whether for specific new techniques or medical innovation are an ideal way to aid your audience's understanding of complicated medical text.
With our understanding of anatomy the Medical-Artist team can create the best possible illustrations for your medical paper. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

3 tablespoons cinnamon, divided
3/4 cup Kikkoman Pearl® Original Organic Soymilk

RussiaThe Development of a Regional Gas & Electricity Resource Decision Support System for the Russian Federation
This is intended to be a multi-year project that will combine the expertise in energy, surety and economics from organization both here in the U.S. and in the R.F. The primary participants will include Sandia National Laboratories (management and surety), Purdue University (economics and energy trading), VNIIEF (management and modeling), Gazprom (Russian natural gas) and RAO ES (Russian electricity). To address the problem of how to best to distribute the vast natural gas resources of the Russian Federation, we propose to look at gas pipeline/electric power grid reliability along with its vulnerabilities while keeping a very close eye on the economic realities in the RF. The expected results of this proposal are an integrated model of Russian energy flow and infrastructure with aspects of both surety and economics embedded within it. From this modeling effort, optimization and simulations can be assembled and run to determine the best strategies for maintenance and repair, energy resource trading, and future investment.
In its initial phase (first eighteen months), the effort would consist of data collection, refinement of the energy trading and surety models to accommodate the data, integration of these models, and proof-of-principle simulations to demonstrate optimization with respect to both energy economics and energy surety. The first phase would also initiate the development of the technologies for smart pipes that can monitor gas flow and third-party contacts in real time; robots that can perform internal detection and repair; systems that can remotely detect methane emissions. The long-term vision for the management system includes instrumentation, telemetry, and process control, in addition to the modeling/optimization capability. The IRM would function as the operational and training center within which these capabilities would be exercised.DOCUMENTS

COUNTY council leader Ian Hudspeth has called for a "serious discussion" about the role of councillors.
He was speaking after Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet member for finance, Arash Fatemian, announced that he was standing down to concentrate on his career and family.
Mr Fatemian, 32, will remain a county councillor for Deddington but said it would be difficult for him to hold his cabinet position and dedicate enough time to his responsibilities outside of the council. He has been replaced by Bicester councillor Lawrie Stratford.
Mr Hudspeth said: "I am disappointed that Arash is standing down. He has been an excellent member of the cabinet but I understand his reasons for doing so.
"At some stage we have got to have a very serious discussion as to the role of councillors."

Feng Shui Elephant with Trunk Down
Weight : 240.00g ( 0.53 lbs)
Dim: 1.5x3.5x2.5 in (3.8x8.9x6.4 cm)
Material: Resin
In ancient China, the Elephant was a war animal, often given as gifts to the emperor by the King of Siam, during the Kang Hsi era.
The elephant is a prominent symbol of strength, fertility and intelligence in many cultures, including Chinese, Indian and African. It is a respected animal of insight, cherished by many. In Buddhism, the elephant is one of the eight holy animals, and in the Hindu religion, the Ganesha is the God with the head of an elephant.
In both a mythical and religious role, the Elephant is seen as a mark of magnificence, able to be worshipped and honoured. In many folklore and war stories, the elephant has been seen as enchanting and alluring - in ancient China, the Elephant was a war animal, often given as gifts to the emperor by the King of Siam, during the Kang Hsi era. This animal could always outdo the opponent and prove both its dignity and discretion.
The Elephant also holds a very potent position in Feng Shui. The mother of Buddha had dreams about a pure white elephant directly prior to Buddha's birth; it is for this reason that the Elephant is now an icon of fertility, being used by couples or singles who desire a newborn. It is an auspicious omen, providing protection for the beholder.
In Feng Shui, those who have an Elephant in their house will be blessed with many beneficial sanctions. Here are some Feng Shui tips to achieve that:
1) In Chinese, the word "elephant" is phonetically similar to "Prime Minister". The elephant is thus regarded as a symbol of vigour, aptitude, power and prominence and can be used to enhance the luck of the head of a household or company.
2) For businessmen, display a pair of Elephants in a distinguished spot on your desk in your office, facing outwards. This is believed to provide you with fortification from your opponents, as well as induce victory on your business ventures..
3) Display a pair of Elephants indoors, beside your main entrance, facing inside- this will create a flow of good luck into your home. If they are displayed outdoors, then they should be positioned facing out, as they will safeguard the home in this arrangement.
4) If you and your partner are trying for a child, placing a pair of Elephants with Trunks Down in the West sector of your home (the corner of descendant luck, according to Feng Shui Bagua 8 Life Aspiration formula) or in the bedroom. Briefly caressing its trunk every night before slumber will increase fertility, enhancing the chances of a new baby being conceived.
5) Make a wish when rubbing its trunk. The Feng Shui elephant is also known as a grantor of wishes.

I stopped in at LRO and spent way to much money as usual
. I did get new lines for my 3 and 4wts and replaced some hackle that got destroyed by my dogs.
I wasn't planning on fishing but I decided I'd try for a little while since there was a break in the rain. I fished mostly pullouts with large holes that weren't too fast to fish. I didn't fish long, but landed 6 fish to 10" on BHHEs and an 18 BHPT. I stayed outta the water and never put on waders.
Thanks Daniel and everyone for helping me out, I'm really pleased with the 4wt!

Young scientists share their research results at Fourth Annual STEP-UP Symposium
Five local high school students presented the results of their summer science research projects in American Samoa's fourth annual STEP-UP research symposium held last Saturday at the American Samoa Community College Division of Community and Natural Resources (Land Grant).
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the U.S. National Institutes of Health sponsor the STEP-UP program. It is coordinated in the Pacific region by the University of Hawaii and locally by the American Samoa Department of Education with assistance from the American Samoa Community College Land Grant Program.
The program aims to provide hands-on research opportunities to students to help increase the numbers of American Samoans embarking on careers in the biomedical sciences. American Samoa is no exception in the global trend towards an increase in diabetes, digestive and kidney diseases, and there is an urgent need for American Samoan scientists who can help develop locally appropriate solutions to reverse this trend.
The symposium provided an opportunity for the five students selected for this year's STEP-UP program to describe their results from six weeks of intensive research conducted over the course of the summer.
Tapa'au Dr. Daniel Mageo Aga, Dean and Director of ASCC's Division of Community and Natural Resources, and Ms. Netini Sene, the Department of Education's Science and Health Coordinator opened the program. Over the last four years, Ms. Sene has been responsible for developing and coordinating the program in American Samoa with assistance from Dr. Aga and ASCC CNR.
The opening was followed by special remarks from Dr. Lawrence Agodoa, Director of the Office of Minority Health Research Coordination at NIH NIDDK and Dr. George Hui, of the University of Hawaii Medical School. Both stressed the importance of nurturing young local scientists who will someday be in a position to conduct the research necessary to address problems such as diabetes and kidney diseases that disproportionally affect some groups of people, including many American Samoans.
Three of the five students conducted their research in the ASCC CNR Plant Pathology Laboratory, with the assistance of Plant Pathologist Dr. Ndeme Atibalentja.
Ms. Faaumatialagipuapua Batta Siatuu, a teacher at Samoana, mentored Kimberly Jasmyn Godinet, a senior at Samoana High School. Godinet studied the effect of extracts of bark of the fig (pulu) tree on Fusarium sp., a fungus that causes plant diseases such as root rot and blights.
Mellody Ah-Lam Parungo, a senior at Fagaitua High School, tested the efficacy of extracts of beach pea (fue sina) and tropical almond (talie) leaves on another important plant disease-causing fungus, Fusicoccumsp. Her mentor for the project was Fagaitua teacher Mr. Steven Young.
Another important plant disease, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, a cause of branch dieback and other diseases, was the target of Sarona Talaluma To'alepai, another senior at Fagaitua High School. She evaluated the effect of Derris malaccensis ('ava niukini) leaf extracts in controlling this fungus under the mentorship of Fagaitua teacher Mr. Louie Segi.
Earthworms and hydroponic lettuce were the research topics of the two STEP-UP participants from Tafuna High School.
Ryanny Hall studied the effects of several popular pesticides on earthworms and was assisted in his project by Ms. Cecilia Tuionoula, science teacher at South Pacific Academy.
Talimeli Fa'alenu'u Taufete'e worked with Dr. Ian Gurr of Land Grant to assess the effect of different levels of electrical conductivity in reducing leaf tipburn in hydroponic lettuce production.
Both the Tafuna High School students graduated this year and will be entering college in the fall, Hall at Sierra Nevada College and Taufete'e at ASCC.
In addition to the local STEP-UP symposia, such as the one held here in American Samoa, there is also a national STEP-UP science symposium held annually at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
This year two of the local STEP-UP participants, Mellody Ah-Lam Parungo and Sarona Talaluma To'alepai were selected to represent American Samoa at the national symposium and will be heading to Bethesda to present their research results there on Thursday.
The STEP-UP program happens every year in American Samoa. Students, parents, or teachers interested in the program can get more information at http://stepup.niddk.nih.gov. Application information will be posted at the site during the school year.

Marinated Grilled Flank Steak With BLT Smashed Potatoes
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
Here's yet another Rachael Ray recipe! This one looked too good to pass up.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or 1 teaspoon ground dried chipotle powder or 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lbs flank steaks
- 2 1⁄2 lbs small red skin new potatoes
- 1 leek, trimmed of tough tops
- 4 slices thick cut smoky bacon, cut into thick pieces
- 1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- salt
- pepper
- 1 cup sour cream (to pass at table-optional)
- Mix garlic, steak seasoning, smoked paprika, chipotle or cumin, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Whisk in extra virgin olive oil. Place meat in shallow dish and coat evenly to marinade. Let stand 15 minutes.
- Cut larger potatoes in half, leave very small potatoes whole. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes 12-15 minutes until tender.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
- Cut leek in half lengthwise. Chop into 1/2" pieces. Place leeks in a big bowl of water and release all the dirt from them with a good wash, separating all the layers. Drain leeks in a colander.
- Grill flank steak 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Put a drizzle of EVOO into a hot nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook bacon 3-5 minutes until it begins to crisp and has rendered most of it's fat.
- Add leeks to the skillet and cook 3-5 minutes more until the leeks are tender.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Smash the potatoes with the chicken stock or broth.
- Add the bacon and leeks to the potatoes and continue to smash. Carefully fold in tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Remove flank steak from grill and let juices redistribute before slicing. Thinly slice meat on an angle, cutting the meat against the grain.
- Serve sliced flank steak next to BLT potatoes and top potatoes with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Most Helpful
Made the whole meal, great flavored steak and rating based on steak alone. Mashed potatoes did not impress us the same way.
This meal is my twin daughters' favorite meal of all time so I was happy to find it here on zaar. The BLT smashed potatoes are awesome (I could make a meal of those alone). Really great marinade and very easy. But do add the potatoes as they really make the meal!
Sorry, Chef 520....I seem to have missed your comments/recommendations regarding this recipe.

I've already written about John Vincent here.
1. John Vincent was born say 1600 and was alive as late as 7 April 1664 and possibly 1670 at Yarmouth, Massachusetts. The name of his wife is unknown, however, a Miss Vincent died at Yarmouth in October 1676 and 5 December 1683, and these records are either daughters or his wife. John Vincent had four children: Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, and Henry.
2. Sarah Vincent was born about 1631 and died after 1694 at Rochester, Massachusetts. She married at Barnstable, Massachusetts on 8 July 1653, William Dexter, baptized 21 February 1618/9 at Great Bowden, Leicester, England and died 1694 at Rochester, Massachusetts, son of Thomas and Mary (Harper) Dexter. William and Sarah had seven children: Mary, Stephen, Philip, James, Thomas, John, and Benjamin.

Apple's done something weird, and yet nerdishly cool at the same time: It's hired a Senior Prototype Scientist with expertise in wearable computing. Knowing Apple's innovative heritage this gives us happy Tron-imagining shivers.
The chap in question is engineer/physicist Richard DeVaul, a PhD-touting graduate of Texas A&M University and MIT. His LinkedIn profile gave the game away. Among his stated business credentials like "leadership for early stage companies," "tech startup CTO" and other good stuff, we find some absolute gems in terms of technology expertise: "product development for mobile & wearable technology" and "Student leader and organizer of the MIThril wearable computing project" are the most precious of these. His own Web page reveals he worked on "new human-computer interaction techniques for wearable, mobile and portable applications." We also know that during his time as founder and president of AWare technologies he worked to "deliver effective behavior-change solutions for increasing fitness" and his company also had "one of the most popular health-and-fitness iPhone apps, StepTrakLite."
So what exactly is he doing at Apple? We can but guess—Apple is fiercely secretive about the kind of future-facing cutting edge research that DeVaul is almost certainly working on. But looking at Apple's vast and creative patent archive, DeVaul's expertise, and knowing Apple's conscious of the trend toward more and more computing happening while mobile, we can imagine all sorts of potential exciting Apple kit. Maybe Apple's looking at utilizing on-body local networking (something DeVaul already owns a patent in,) to communicate between different mobile Apple devices carried about your person, or between, say, your iPhone and a secure touch-sensitive lock using near-field comms. Or possibly it's looking at the display market, and imagining a head-worn display system for future iPhones or iPads. Perhaps Apple's designers have seen trends like recent touch-panel on-arm controls, and they're imagining future body-control interfaces for the iPhone. The sky is literally the limit when dreaming up this sort of equipment.
The only way we'll probably find out what DeVaul is up to, though, will be by combing through Apple's future patent applications: While wearable computing initiatives are guaranteed to fire up your inner imaginative nerd and get him all excited, it's unlikely that we'll be seeing any of this faintly Tron-like stuff for years. After all, even in our Wi-fi signal-soaked World, Apple's not even enabled wireless syncing on the iPhone yet.
[Via ComputerWorld]
Ed Note: Yes, we know Tron's characters were computer programs, rather than "wearing" computers. But there's no movie of Snow Crash yet, so there aren't any cool visuals.

To help celebrate his birthday, the big homie Rhettmatic liberates an unreleased project he and Frank Nitt did back in 2008.
In honor of keeping a tradition alive of dropping some free music on my birthday (May 10) as a way of saying "Thank You" to anyone that has supported my music & my musical career, I wanted to share this unreleased 2008 project that I did with my good friend, Frank Nitt of Frank N Dank fame. We only made 8 songs with some skits in between & no one has ever heard this EP until now. This was made on saw "raw sh*t" vibe, not giving a f*ck...we even played this EP for a certain "Beat Conducta" while we would hang out at The Do-Over during the summer of 2009, hence the "What's up to Otis" line in the Intro song. Our unreleased EP would also be the catalyst & sparked the collabo between Frank & Mr. Otis Jackson Jr ("Medicine Show #9: Nittyville). - Rhett (Read his full write-up over at RIK)

Today I'm on a Sanctuary kick so I decided to take a trip back to 1988 to the debut album from the Seattle band. Produced by Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine, this album is considered a thrash metal classic and one of my all time favorite metal albums. The title song Battle Angels grabs you immediately and leaves you wanting more and showcases singer Warrel Dane's high pitched vocals throughout the album. The track listing for Refuge Denied is as follows:
Termination Force
Die For My Sins
Soldiers Of Steel
White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane Cover)
Ascension To Destiny
The Third War
Veil Of Disguise
Only 7,000 copies on of the album were printed on vinyl. When the album was later released on CD, the tracks had been reordered which was common when CDs were first starting to hit the market. The band lineup for Refuge Denied is:
- Warrel Dane – vocals
- Lenny Rutledge – guitar
- Sean Blosl – guitar
- Jim Sheppard – bass
- Dave Budbill – drums
This is a definite must for your metal collection. Sanctuary, who recently reunited in 2010, have recently released their new studio album, The Year The Sun Died and will tour around the US in November! For more on Sanctuary, visit their Facebook page here

NATO running out of bombs in Libya
I'd love to tell you this comes as a surprise, but it doesn't:
Less than a month into the Libyan conflict, NATO is running short of precision bombs, highlighting the limitations of Britain, France and other European countries in sustaining even a relatively small military action over an extended period of time, according to senior NATO and U.S. officials.
The shortage of European munitions, along with the limited number of aircraft available, has raised doubts among some officials about whether the United States can continue to avoid returning to the air campaign if Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi hangs on to power for several more months.
It helps you understand how incredibly dependent on the US Europe has become.
A war – a small war – and they run out of precision munitions in a month?
No wonder they're almost able to pay for socialism (yeah, that's caught up with them too).
Frankly, this is unacceptable. And of course, it will likely mean one thing:
So far, the NATO commander has not requested their deployment. Several U.S. military officials said they anticipated being called back into the fight, although a senior administration official said he expected other countries to announce "in the next few days" that they would contribute aircraft equipped with the laser-guided munitions.
Why? We have munitions we can give them, right?
Uh, some:
European arsenals of laser-guided bombs, the NATO weapon of choice in the Libyan campaign, have been quickly depleted, officials said. Although the United States has significant stockpiles, its munitions do not fit on the British- and French-made planes that have flown the bulk of the missions.
Britain and France have each contributed about 20 strike aircraft to the campaign. Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Canada have each contributed six — all of them U.S.-manufactured and compatible with U.S. weaponry.
Given this little discovery, I'd guess NATO has some standardization to do? You know, that's why we have standard size rounds, artillery shells, etc.
You'd think they'd have thought of this before (and yes, before someone informs me, France is not a member of NATO), wouldn't you?
20 Responses to NATO running out of bombs in Libya
… and to think this force kept the Soviets out of Europe
As more time passes, I am almost convinced an argument could be made that it was the Soviets that kept the Soviets out of Europe.
Two groups kept the Soviets out of Europe:
SAC and the USN fleet ballistic missile submarine force.
A lot of men and women worked very, very hard for many years, often under hazardous circumstances, to keep a razor-sharp deterent. That there were never commissars in Bonn, Paris or London speaks to how much their work paid off.
Assuming, of course, that the Soviet leadership believed that the US would actually prefer nuclear Armageddon to Soviet occupation of Europe. I agree that the Soviets were probably not detered by NATO conventional forces.
Sir Humphrey: With Trident we could obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe!
Jim Hacker: I don't want to obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe.
Sir Humphrey: It's a deterrent.
Jim Hacker: It's a bluff. I probably wouldn't use it.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but they don't know that you probably wouldn't.
Jim Hacker: They probably do.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, they probably know that you probably wouldn't. But they can't certainly know.
Jim Hacker: They probably certainly know that I probably wouldn't.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but even though they probably certainly know that you probably wouldn't, they can't certainly know that although you probably wouldn't, there is no probability that you certainly would!
Yes, Prime Minister
ep. 1: "The Grand Design" (1986); dir. Sydney Lotterby
spoken by Nigel Hawthorne and Paul Eddington
I suppose in the European court of public opinion is beginning to reconsider its opinion of Obama.
You have to ask who will learn a lesson out of Libya ? Will NATO be destroyed or saved ?
Is Obama trying to show Europe what NATO will be like without the US, so Europe doesn't abandon Afghanistan ?
That is a good question. I've always been in McQ's camp on this too excellent misadventure. I think it is quite clear the Europeans will now finally have to commit to a hard-nosed re–re-assessment of their interdependent relationships with regard to defense and the world at large. Certainly, the East Asians have long since repositioned themselves precisely because of the Obama presidency. It is heartening to see the Auzzies act with such maturity in South and SE Asia. But that is a different world, so to speak.
"Is Obama trying to show Europe …?" Nah. Nothin' of the sort. The only thing the o has demonstrated is the law of unintended consequences. The o heard a call and because he and his team are so immature they saw the kinetic exercise as nothing more than a two pronged ploy: 1) curry favor and above all else 2) turn the action into an advantage for the campaign.
The real question is not so much NATO because it is in our explicit interest to insure its survival. The real question is inside the European mind. With the exception of the Italians and I suppose Icelanders, I don't think I have met a single person (not affiliated with the armed forces) who has managed to put WWII behind them. I am fully convinced that is why everyone is running around in a hypocritically pacifist funk, not a peace with their semi-socialist dystopia and still suffering from debilitating nightmares as a result of WWII.
I am fully convinced that is why everyone is running around in a hypocritically pacifist funk,
But is it really a funk ? … or are only Americans too stupid to see who is being had ?
I posted here not long ago about a guy I knew in college who used to come around every night and get a full explanation of all the difficult homework problems because he acted like Gomer Pyle. We called him "Gobber." Then we found out he was "dean's list" while the rest of us were struggling.
The Europeans have been play the US for suckers for over 6 decades, while they show a "funk." Yeah. It's a "funk" alright .. a funk that comes every time they think about the price tag of protecting themselves. If they can get it on the cheap by faking a "funk" .. why not ?
" its munitions do not fit on the British- and French-made planes"
For half a century NATO has supposedly been making efforts to have as much commonality of weapons and equipment as possible, for precisely this reason. Many NATO countries use, or have used, American equipment, including combat aircraft.
NATO is rapidly becoming a joke. Time for us to get out.
Dood, if US weapons fit on French planes, then they could have the option of buying US equipment!
Non, Non, Non!
Buy French equipment instead!
BTW, Libya has 6 million people. 6 million people in a 3rd world country.
And NATO does not have enough bombs.
OK, maybe they used them up in Afghanistan…snicker.
The good news is we could arm Norway, Denmark, and Belgium and roll over France.
Actually France is a member of NATO again, it rejoined the integrated command in 2009.
And it only took them 10 years after the threat disappeared.
Well they had to make sure that the collapse of the Soviet Union wasn't all some grand German conspiracy to try and invade them *again*.
But seriously, I think they rejoined at the time when there was a lot of talk about there being a dedicated "EU army" of sorts to carry out these sorts of operations since the mission of NATO was no longer clear (and dominated by those pesky yankees). France no doubt wanted a seat at the big-boys table to ensure they got enough of the command. Seems of course it was mostly talk, if the arsenal was only up to 1 month's worth of sort-of war with a few planes. Next they'll be asking the US to pay France and Britain to to produce more bombs that only work on French and British planes.
Lesse…which NATO countries make military aircraft competitive with ours?
I like competition. But I don't like competing with people I am supporting with my taxes.
There is NO excuse…has not been for decades…for the U.S. to defend Europe sans European $$$.
We let the Europeans manage their own affairs and withing two decades they ended on World War only to begin another. Both of which we were sucked into.
I know they're suppose to the be the responsible ones and we're the gung ho irresponsible ones, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Oh, they can just pretend it's a re-do of the Suez incident, pack up their kit bags and berets and call it quits.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Berlin…..

The Day The Internet Went Dark And How It Changed History
By Joshua McNichols • Jan 27, 2013
A little over a year ago, Wikipedia, Google and thousands of other websites went dark. They were protesting an Internet privacy act being considered in Congress. It was the largest protest ever conducted on the Internet. And it worked.
One of its organizers was Aaron Swartz. Swartz advocated for the Internet to be free. His quest for free information got him in trouble. He was caught trying to leak academic papers to the public. The US Department of Justice tried to make an example out of him. But he committed suicide.
Today, we hear an in-depth report on Swartz's most successful campaign: the online protest that stopped SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, from becoming law.

I can't believe that another WEFTEC is around the corner! This year is especially exciting with WEF's third annual service project, "Bioswales in the Bayou," which will be completed Saturday, Oct. 2 in New Orleans. Over 100 WEF members and others have volunteered to construct a bioswale at a new home site in the Lower 9th Ward, and (new this year) run a Water Carnival for kids with hands-on water education activities. Opportunities like this, where water quality experts and others can help promote environmental stewardship and leave a positive imprint behind, is just one of many reasons for young professionals like me to come to WEFTEC.
There are several other student and young professional activities at WEFTEC this, and every, year. WEF's S&YPs are a highly motivated group that plan, coordinate, and participate in several very successful events each year. There's a Design Competition on Sunday October 3, where students from universities across the country will present engineering proposals and design concepts to WEF professionals. And on Monday, several companies will be chatting with students and potentially interviewing them for jobs at the Career Fair, a great place find out about careers in water quality and get to know perspective employers.
Also on Monday, there'll be a Student Chapter Meeting, where participants share experiences in building support at the university level for aspiring water quality professionals. There's also a YP technical session, which gives young professionals their first chance to present at WEFTEC. And let's not forget the YP Reception, a great place for students and young professionals to mingle, network, (and maybe win a door prize!) in a fun social setting.
Whether it's the chance to share your passion for water quality with a local community, see some of the most innovative new leaders in environmental design, explore career options, or just hang out with some really fun people and mentors, WEFTEC is definitely the place for aspiring water quality professionals. See you in New Orleans!!

Kurt Elling: Stories from New York
"I don't deny it. I certainly identify that way," he says of being labeled a jazz singer. "I feel that's the approach that I have to the music that I take on." Not all singers identify that way, even if it is obvious from their sound and approach. But if one looks at his body of recorded works-nine solo albums since 1995, all Grammy-nominated with one win-and his live shows over the years, the assessment isn't difficult. Elling is steeped in jazz and is always being creative. Always searching for the right sounds, open to stretching. He also consistently trots out new material to work with. While he excels at singing the standards, new material he grasps for usually is not in that vein. Rather he gathers material he is attracted to and molds it according to his aesthetic. In doing so, people may not think "Song A" is particularly jazz, or "Song B" might be too pop-sounding. That's the part that doesn't matter to Elling.
He sculpts a song to show its beauty and add it to his ongoing pursuit to tell stories with some emotional depth and musical integrity. Sometimes, even some fun is involved as when he renders some of his own poetry a funky jazz soundscape laid down by his band mates.
Added to his aforementioned discography is his tenth solo album out this year, 1619 Broadway (Concord, 2012), which again brings in a series of new tunes. The selected compositions have a link to New York City, and in particular a structure called the Brill Building-it's address 1619 Broadway-that was once a haven for songwriters and hit songs.
"The Brill is the very well-known epicenter of songwriting in Manhattan," Elling explains. "While it's not much of a songwriting epicenter these days, it has been a working building of the music business since the 1930s. Just about when the building was being completed being constructed. It's golden era-so called-began in the mid 1950s and ran up through just about 1970. It included songwriting teams like Goffin and King ("Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"), Mann and Weil ("You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"), and Burt Bacharach and David ("Walk On By"). Doc Pomus was based out of there.
"Based upon that so-called golden era, that it was a very important focus for popular music songwriting. But in fact, if you really look at the Brill Building history, you get a strong sense that the building goes way beyond what most people really think of as the classic Brill sound. Duke Ellington had offices there. Nat [King] Cole. Tommy Dorsey. All the way back to Tin Pan Alley people. Irving Berlin had offices there. That kind of a thing. I wanted, in my own career, to put something together that had New York as its locus. Instead of going to the kinds of people that a jazz musician would usually go to-Cole Porter, that kind of thing-I instead went to a number of the classic Brill writers, but also to the great Brill Building history in order to reap the rewards and give myself something interesting to do this time out."
Sam Cooke's "You Send Me," Leiber and Stoller's "Shoppin' for Clothes," Man and Weil's "I'm Satisfied" and, fittingly, "On Broadway" are part of the menu. "Come Fly With Me" is the closest thing to a standard, more and adventure in harmonic changes than Sinatra swagger. The jazziest is Duke Ellington's "Tootie for Cootie," with a lyric written by Elling following a recorded trumpet solo by Cootie Williams, a longtime Ellington horn man. Paul Simon's "American Tune" is packed with emotion and cuts to the heart of its message.
"There is so much to choose from. There are thousands and thousands of songs," says Elling, who got a long list of notable Brill Building compositions from a friend. "From there, I culled through everything that I could listen to, and also did my own homework, from songwriters from the building's inception. Also songwriters whose work has been directly influenced by the Brill. Paul Simon, for instance, only had a couple of songs that came out as a classic era Brill writer before he moved away. Now, as it happens, he continues to have offices in the Brill Building. I was able to include a latter day composition of his in this as well, just as I was able to include 'I Only Have Eyes For You,' which was written back in the 1930s."

Couldn't resist to give the old form of Milano, Mediolanum, meaning 'middle plain'. It's a Celtic placename, and there was one in Britannia: now Whitchurch in Shropshire.

one of the newer orders,(RC) the sisters of charity,
Helen - were they the nuns that had the big white wimples like the one Sally Field wore in "The Flying Nun?" or was that the Sisters of Mercy?

the nuns of 'the flying nun' (i don't know what order they where) are much older... and their head dress/hat is very similar to dutch hats of 16th (17th?) century..and the order is from belgium(area) originally.--i don't know if it was belgium proper (or some border town)
very few orders 'go world wide'.. most have home lands, and countries that they selected for missionary work..
i had ursulines as elementry teachers, they are a french order, and had missions in the 1700's in french canada, and new orlean. (general jackson, on the eve of the 'battle of 1812 dined and (slept) in the guest house of the ursuline convent (just out side the city)
the french --as rulers- left north america, but the ursulines stayed behind. (and still have a big 'mother house' in Montreal)
the sisters of charity, were founded by mother seton..(the first american born woman to be named a saint)and their habits (i spent 10 seconds or so looking for a picture) are some thing similar to the way mother seton is dressed in this photo..
very much like widows weeds of the mid 1800's._________________________

The Flying Nun lived in the convent of San Tanco, on top of a hill near San Juan, Puerto Rico, but I don't think we ever learned the name of the order to which she belonged.

The Flying Nun's order was completely fictional. Their habit was modeled - sort of - on that of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, an order founded by St. Vincent in France in mid-1600s. I do some work for Providence Hospital in Michigan - which was a Daughters of Charity hospital until a couple of years ago when it merged with a health system sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Anyway, the cornette was the winged wimple you're thinking about. No time to find a photo right now; will come back and do so.
Edit: Can't believe there are no pictures out there; we have a million in the hospital archives. Well, the first page of this newsletter has a drawing of a Daughter of Charity that will give you the idea of what the cornette looked like. http://www.dochs.org/who_we_are/caritas_spring_2003.pdf

well the whole thing was a sit/com, and the nuns seemed to have a life quite unlike any nuns i knew, and i had several cousins who were members of different regilious orders, so i got see/learn about rules and religious orders (as well as learning a thing or two from the ursulines)
there is an order of nuns, (dedicated to teaching and healing the sick ) that do wear elaberate folded head dresses..similar enough to the ones on the show.
the style of head dress that was common enough at the time the order was founded (just as nuns mother theresa 'order' wear sari's)-- nuns habits look strange now, because the reflect styles of the past..
most RC priest are just priests--not members of a specific 'order' they wear a collar, and cassock (sometimes--manytimes they just wear a collar).
there are also 'orders' of brothers(monks) that also include priests--and there are orders of just priests, --like the jesuits,-- an order that has as part of its function, a dispensation from wearing any sort of habit, or special clothing..jesuits are part of the papal equivelent of the CIA--and are undercover priests, and wear 'street clothing'
many ordersof monks, ie, fransicans, (mostly monks, but may also be priests) also wear anchronistic clothes/habits.
franciscans wear coarse *brown wool robes, (and coarse wool under robes) they are tied with rope (not leather) and they wear simple leather sandles (not shoes) -- and special permission has to be granted to them to wear socks even in the cold weather (like now in NY, temp is close to freezing, and is expected to be well below freezing mark tomorrow).
*actually the franciscans wear coarse wool robes make from native wool. in England, they tended to wear grey wool (unbleached simple wool) and were called the 'grey friars'.
many orders of monks are 'cloistered' (as are a percentage of nuns)--they are less often seen._________________________

Seniors Complete Program, Win Scholarships
Justice Sonia Sotomayor Attends College Bound Ceremony
Sam P.K. Collins | 5/28/2014, 3 p.m.
A local nonprofit handed out thousands of dollars in scholarships to a group of students during a ceremony at a prestigious theatrical venue last week.
College Bound, Inc. recognized 36 high school seniors from across the D.C. metropolitan area for completing its academic mentoring program during its 23rd annual End-of-the-Year Celebration. All of the students, many of whom participated in the program for more than three years, plan to attend an accredited college or university in the fall.
"It does not matter where you come from or what you've been through. You can be great," said Kenneth A. Ward, executive director of College Bound, Inc. since 2009, during his keynote address at the May 21 event.
"We all have struggles but I encourage you not to lose your way. The challenges you face will make you stronger. Education has everything to do with freedom. It wasn't that long ago that our ancestors could not go to school. Have faith in yourself. Believe in your dreams even when common sense tells you not to," said Ward.
A 2013 report by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education honed in on racial and socioeconomic disparities in D.C. high school graduation rates. More than 80 percent of white students in the District graduated on time compared to 53 percent of black students. Young women enrolled in District high schools also graduated at a rate 20 percent higher than that of their male counterparts.
More than 500 parents, College Bound partners, educators, and community members watched video testimonials of College Bound students and an alumna. They later cheered on honorees as they received a total of $135,000 in scholarships. Throughout the two-hour program at Arena Stage in Southwest, a group of students provided up-to-the-minute Twitter and Facebook updates from a live room.
College Bound graduating seniors Jalen Jones and LaNae Kearse served as master and mistress of ceremonies. Guests included U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and D.C. Council member Anita Bonds (D-At Large).
Beatrice Smoot, a College Bound alumna and viola player, serenaded the audience alongside her sister Jessica who played the violin. Smoot, who recently finished her freshman year at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, said that she appreciated College Bound's continuous support.
"College Bound has scholarships that you can apply for even after you graduate from high school," said Beatrice Smoot, 19. "It was very hands on. I always got my homework done and prepared for the SAT and ACT at the weekly meetings. We also went on college tours for low prices," said Beatrice Smoot who lives in Southeast.
The celebration provided Johnette Anderson, a health care provider who volunteered with College Bound between 2002 and 2005, an opportunity to reminisce about her experiences as a partner.
"College Bound saves lives," said Anderson, 63. "A mind is definitely a terrible thing to waste. That's why I support this program with my time and my money. More people have to volunteer. They'll like it. When I got involved, I realized that I couldn't afford not to do more," said Anderson who lives in Adelphi, Maryland.
Since 1991, College Bound, Inc., based in Northwest, has provided academic enrichment for local middle and high school students. Those who sign up receive tutoring, mentoring, SAT preparation, and career development at any of its six D.C.-based sites. College Bound's academic mentoring program pairs each of its more than 150 students with partners – men and women who work in various career fields. The connection doesn't diminish once students graduate; more than 90 College Bound alumni keep in touch with their partners through the virtual mentoring program.
Mikel Kennie, a College Bound graduating senior who will attend Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Indiana, Pennsylvania this fall, said his partner helped him become a more focused individual.
"I can talk to my partner about anything," said Mikel, 18. "He's a big brother who has been where I want to go. We've reviewed Latin, looked for scholarships, and written essays. We've even gone to the movies. He's broken me out of lackadaisical habits," the Northeast resident said with a smile.

I wasn't sure I would ever use these when I received them from a swap. I happened to be doing a LO w/ bright colors and pulled them out and was so happy I did. They are stronger than I thought and they are self adhesive. The adhesive covers the whole back and holds very well! Very good product.

"With rare courage and devastating insight Tony Smith analyzes how militant liberalsseeking to use American military power to further democratic valuesallied themselves with conservative nationalists in a 'crusade' of war and aggression that betrayed their own principles. A Pact with the Devil is the 'J'accuse' of the Iraq war, and war liberals no less than war conservatives are its target."
-Ronald Steel, Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California
"In the course of this provocative polemic, Smith attacks practically everybody who writes about foreign policy in the United States today. A Pact with the Devil might well end up being one of the most talked-about and controversial books of the year."
-David Fromkin, Professor of International Relations, Boston University
"A compelling exposéand biting indictmentof the ideological excesses that have led U.S. foreign policy so woefully off course. Smith spares neither liberals nor conservatives as he explores the intellectual origins of America's imperial turn."
-Charles A. Kupchan, Georgetown University and Council on Foreign Relations, author of The End of the American Era
"This is a deeply disturbing and important book. A probing examination of the Bush Doctrine that shows that its roots lie not in a fringe neoconservative movement, but in liberal political thought that is central to much American thought and history. Smith convincingly argues that liberalism's optimism, faith in democracy, and expectation of progress have combined with fear of terrorism and America's excessive power to yield utopian policies that undermine our values at home and abroad."
-Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University
"A Pact with the Devil is a fascinating, learned, and deeply troubling book. It is now obvious that the neoconservatives and their foolish ideas have done enormous damage to America's international position, but Smith shows that liberal internationalistswhose ranks include many prominent Democratsalso bear considerable blame for the fiasco in Iraq and other failures of recent U.S. foreign policy. This impassioned and insightful work demonstrates why America's liberal ideals must always be tempered by realism, and by a clear appreciation of what U.S. power can and cannot do."
-Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"There is no one better qualified than Tony Smith to trace the intellectual origins of the Bush Doctrine. With his characteristic verve and clarity, Smith shows just how influential liberal internationalist thinking in the 1990s, with its triumphalist overtones, has been in providing the intellectual capital for the Bush Administration's quest to spread democracy by force of arms. This is a penetrating book."
-Robert J. Art, Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations, Brandeis University
"It will be hard for anyone to say after reading this book, that the mission was just, we simply did not do it right."
-Lloyd Gardner, Rutgers University
