Edwards Will Not Seek Third Term
MAYVILLE – Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards will not be seeking a third term when his current term ends in January.
The two-term Republican made the announcement during a press conference late Friday afternoon.
"After much thought and reflection, and after significant review with my family, I have decided that I will not be seeking a third term as Chautauqua County Executive," Edwards said. "I have been blessed with the chance to do important work helping the people of this county, and I have made many close friends that will always be a special part of my life. But, I did not begin this work with the intention of making it my career."
Although he said the outpouring of support and encouragement to run for a third term has been tremendous, he has decided to pursue other opportunities.
"Everything in life has a season, and there's a time for every purpose," Edwards said. "After talking long and hard with my family and friends, I'm excited about what else lies out there that I can become engaged in and commit to. Eight years is a significant time to serve in a leadership role, so I'm looking forward to the opportunities to pursue a new venture."
Edwards was a lawyer for 18 years before becoming county executive. He hopes that in the future he will be able to combine the skills he had as a lawyer with the ones he picked up in the position of county executive.
"I think this experience of leading this wonderful organization, building the team that we built, delivering on the promises that we gave, I think opens the door for me to use this experience, this track record, to hopefully lead another organization," Edwards said. "I look forward to that, and I have faith … I'm confident that opportunity will present itself."
Although his name has been tossed around as a potential candidate for the position, Edwards said his announcement is not a set up to run for governor.
"I truly believe that I have committed myself whole-heartedly to the work that has needed to take place here in the county, but I do not at this time have my eyes set on another elected position," Edwards said.
As for his decision to make the announcement now, in part he is looking out for the county's appointed leaders. He said his decision has been very emotional, as he regards everyone as a team.
On the other hand, Edwards said some appointed officials may have gone on to other ventures, even if he had chose to pursue a third term. He said by making the announcement now, it gives everyone ample time to decide their next steps.
"I firmly believe that these folks are so talented, that their records are so significant, that the capacities that they bring to their jobs are so impressive, that someone following this position will be hard-pressed to find somebody better," Edwards said. "I look forward to working with whoever, eight months from now, is engaged in the transition process. I will do my best to explain the talents of those who are here."
The county Democrats will be announcing their candidate for county executive next week. Norm Green, Democratic party chairman, said Edwards' announcement will not influence their decision.
"Other people may come forward, you know, it's a democratic process, but if they do, I'm certainly not going to change my mind and go after a more attractive person," Green said Friday. "I think this person we are going to announce is very attractive."
Edwards said he feels the end of the year is truly the best time for him to step away from the county executive position, in order to allow someone else to step in to lead the county. Regardless of the candidates, he said he is committed toward helping to find a successor.
"I am absolutely committed to assisting in any way I can to find the absolute best person, that has the best qualifications, the best intentions, the best capacities to step into this role, to assure that we move forward in the best way we can in the county," he said.

The kitchen has long since become the heart of the home, and now designers are dressing it up accordingly. Kelly Wearstler and Stephen Gambrel are fitting out kitchens with elaborate custom cabinetry painted in rich gemstone colors, and accented with gleaming brass or chrome, all lit by unusual lighting fixtures. And companies such as Caesarstone and Antolini have devised composite surfaces that mimic malachite, agate, and other exotic semi-precious stones, perfect for dramatic countertops and backsplashes.

Kitchen and Bath Idea File
A fairy-tale castle sits on the grounds of a grand Scottish estate. Its majestic details include: stained-glass windows, conical roofs and a balcony that's perfect for playing Rapunzel. A construction this whimsical keeps the kids occupied, so the adults are free to host parties on the neighboring deck.
Deep inside a walnut forest, we found this charming modern tree house that's shaped like the nut itself. Stilts support most of the weight, while the terrace is strapped to a nearby tree. Because of the height and large windows, we imagine that once we're inside, it'll feel like there's nothing but air between the leaves and us. It's used as a playroom for the owner's three children, and as an occasional guest room.

Massive voluminous and curly pigtails
Light-colored hair goes from flattened to flat-out huge in a matter of inches. Straight hair is parted a bit off-center, then styled flat on the head. The sheet-like hair is then combed down on both sides. At the cheek level, ends explode in a voluminous flurry of curls. The curls cover the entire neck and shoulders, even extending as far down as the bosom. This style makes the most of hair being an accessory, as it frames the face from under the chin, much like a fur collar, and obscures the top portion of the dress.

Saturday, July 28, 2012 - Text by Mark Phelan | Badminton Photo - Yves Lacroix
Competing in her fourth Olympic Games, Anu Nieminen experienced something today she had not done in three previous Olympiads – the thrill of victory.
The Finnish Women's Singles competitor – clearly a proponent of the old adage "try, try, try again" – has braved injury and disappointment and is still determined to mix it with badminton's best.
Having first represented her homeland in Sydney 2000 and now achieving the rare distinction of a selection four-peat, the veteran finally broke her Olympics jinx with a straight-games win 21-12 21-18 over Mexico's Victoria Montero in the afternoon session of the first day of play.
However, Nieminen's (pictured right) success was not without difficulty as she struggled with the pressure of being the favourite and showed real signs of nerves as she stepped onto the court.
"I felt so nervous today. Before I was never expected to win but this year was different with the new group format. I was lucky to win the first game," said the 34-year-old.
In the second game, Nieminen (pictured left) looked uncomfortable and seemed to be slipping from bad to worse as she struggled to find any rhythm.
"The second game was just awful but at least I have finally won a match at the Olympics which I can be happy about."
As she exited the court, one of badminton's Olympic veterans entered the arena but unlike the Finn, Taufik Hidayat boasts an impressive Olympic record.
The 2004 Men's Singles gold medallist was up against Petr Koukal who distinguished himself in last night's Opening Ceremony as the Czech Republic's flagbearer. Maybe the late night affected him today as he was definitely second best, feeling the full brunt of the Indonesian's attack.
"He (Hidayat) was just amazing today and I had no answers. He hit every line and he looks so hungry to win a medal here," acknowledged 26-year-old Koukal.
Hidayat, by contrast, appeared relaxed not only during the match but in meeting the media afterwards. On hearing that Lin Dan made an appearance to do some reconnaissance on one of his big rivals, Hidayat jokingly commented: "It is nice to hear that Lin Dan came out to watch me so I must come out to watch him in his game also."
Hidayat, 30, could not have wished for a better or easier start; even having the luxury of glancing at neighbouring matches as he cruised to two 21-8 games against Koukal.
"It is hard to judge my level from that game and, with all respect to Petr, it was pretty easy. I felt good and it is nice to get into the hall and get the competition underway. I will relax tonight and prepare mentally for my game against Pablo Abian on Tuesday."
In one of the most eagerly awaited matches of the Men's Singles first round, Kevin Cordon (pictured right) of Guatemala outstayed and outplayed European silver medallist Henri Hurskainen of Sweden in the third and decisive game to set up a mouth-watering tie against home hero Rajiv Ouseph on Tuesday.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Testing course with some excellent support dotted around the 10 miles. Good atmosphere at the Recreation Ground, with stalls, rides for children and demonstrations. Date of review: May 20, 2012
In short: Unique local race - mud, wind and great companionship!Date of review: February 5, 2011
In short: Organisation gets better each year as I get slower!In full: This is the fourth Coventry Half I have run and it continues to improve each year. Coming from Essex (no hills!), I forget about the hills each year and found it raellly tough this year. Marshalls are excellent, crowd support is good, especially at the finish. If it gets any bigger, some parts of the course will become too crowded.I'll be back in May, one month after the London Marathon - anyone fancy jogging round? Date of review: October 27, 2009
In short: An excellent course with the first half being really tough. Fantastic marshalls.In full: I am sure that LOSS will iron out the few minor problems for next year. A great challenging course with a variety of scenery. The marshalls were really encouraging all around the course. They also handled some awkward moments well, especially at the finish where runners and cars were in close proximity!! Well done LOSS.Date of review: September 27, 2009
In short: Good race, despite the repeat lap along sea front. Very hot! Breeze was welcome. Excellent marshalls and good support along course.Date of review: June 14, 2009
In short: As an Essex boy, maybe the toughest Half I've run! 2nd half seemed all uphill!In full: Race came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I'd heard the return from the gorge involved an uphill couple of miles - it seemed more like it was all uphill from mile 8/9! Atmosphere excellent, organisation excellent, marshalls friendly, pockets of support around the course. Vast majority of course was off-road, which was good. The scenery was stunning in places. Really pleased with time too considering the shock of the last few miles!Date of review: March 24, 2009
In short: Well organised race with good PB potential. Interesting goody bag!Date of review: February 9, 2009
In short: Great support during race, start and finish absolute disasters. Too many runners for the venue!In full: Having travelled from Essex to run this race with my brother and his son-in-law, I was looking forward to it. It turned out to be the worst that I have run in over 25 years! I followed the instructions in the booklet, getting down to the runners' village early & to meet my brother. Unfortunately, I had to wait in the rain as he was held up in the queue waiting for busues at the "park & ride" that arrived late and could not cope with the number of runners arriving. After they eventually arrived, we had just handed our baggage in, ready to make my way to the start, as instructed in the guide, when they announced that there was an hours delay. 15,000 runners left in the cold and wet, standing in a muddy field for an hour, trying to find any shelter they could! Then the problem reaching the start, and then finding myself in the sub 1.45 area (there was nowhere else to go). The race was good, although not flat as claimed, with excellent crowd support and marshalls. The finish, however, was as chaotic as the start. I managed to eventually get a blanket, then spotted the T-shirts and goody bags on the other side of the road, so had to move against the other runners to reach them. I heard many runners saying they didn't get theirs (for £30 entry?). Then back into the quagmire. There were long queues at the baggage tents and then it took about 30-40 minutes to actually leave the area and meet up with my now worried wife. We had a meal booked at a local restaurant, which we were 1.5hrs late for. I've run many races of all types in my time but I have to say this was the most shambolic - far too many runners for the area/organisers to cope with at the start and finish. I will definitely not be going back again, although Bath is a lovely city.Date of review: March 17, 2008
In short: Excellent race, as ever, despite the wind!Date of review: January 29, 2008
In short: Well organised, friendly marshalls, lovely scenery and friendly runners.Date of review: May 13, 2007

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed the Friends of Syria meeting in Tunis, Tunisia, on February 24, 2012. Secretary Clinton said, "I want to thank Tunisia for hosting this meeting today and I salute the Arab League for its leadership throughout this crisis. I want to particularly applaud the selection of Kofi Annan as a special envoy for both the UN and the Arab League. He will seek to advance the consensus reflected in the Arab League transition plan and the UN General Assembly's resolution, and I look forward to working with him.""Now, we are all here because the Assad regime's escalating violence in Syria is an affront to the international community, a threat to regional security, and a grave violation of universal human rights.
"The Assad regime has ignored every warning, squandered every opportunity, and broken every agreement.
"Faced with determined protesters demanding their rights and their dignity, the regime is creating an appalling humanitarian disaster. Tanks, mortars and heavy artillery continue to target civilians in residential areas, including women and children. Security forces have cut off electricity and communications, sabotaged water supplies, invaded hospitals, and forced thousands of Syrians to flee their homes. The UN has found crimes against humanity. And now there are reports of troops massing for even more deadly assaults.
"Here in Tunis, the international community is speaking with one voice, as we did in the UN General Assembly last week that the Assad regime's brutal assault must stop and a democratic transition must begin. The people of Syria are looking to us in their hour of need. We cannot let them down. Let's begin by reaffirming the core principles we've agreed on today:
"We strongly echo the Arab League's demand that the Syrian Government immediately halt all attacks against civilians; guarantee the freedom of peaceful demonstrations; release all arbitrarily detained citizens; return its military and security forces to their barracks; and allow full and unhindered access for monitors, humanitarian workers, and journalists.
"We call for a negotiated political solution to this crisis and an inclusive democratic transition to address the legitimate aspirations of Syria's people in an environment free from violence, fear, intimidation, and extremism.
"And we are firmly committed to the sovereignty, independence, national unity, and territorial integrity of Syria.
"In support of these principles, this group should take concrete action along three lines: provide emergency humanitarian relief, ratchet up pressure on the regime, and prepare for a democratic transition.
"First, humanitarian relief. Conditions in Syria are dire and getting worse. Emergency assistance is desperately needed, but the regime is doing everything it can to prevent aid from reaching those who need it. It is going after aid workers, doctors, and journalists reporting on the suffering.
"We cannot wait for this crisis to become an even greater catastrophe. Today I am announcing that the United States is providing $10 million to quickly scale up humanitarian efforts, including support for refugees. These funds will help support makeshift medical facilities, train emergency medical staff, and get clean water, food, blankets, heaters, and hygiene kits to Syrian civilians in need. This is not the end. The United States will provide more humanitarian support in coming days.
"Trusted humanitarian organizations have prepositioned humanitarian supplies at hubs in the region and they are already on the ground poised to distribute this aid if safe access can be arranged. To that end, we fully support the efforts of the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator to secure immediate and safe access for humanitarian workers and supplies.
"If the Assad regime refuses to allow this life-saving aid to reach civilians, it will have even more blood on its hands. So too will those nations that continue to protect and arm the regime. We call on those states that are supplying weapons to kill civilians to halt immediately.
"And that brings us to our second line of action: increasing the pressure on the Assad regime, deepening its isolation, and sending a clear message: You will pay a heavy cost for ignoring the will of the international community and violating the human rights of your people.
"We all need to look hard at what more we can do. It's time for everyone here to place travel bans on senior members of the regime " as the Arab League has done -- freeze their assets, boycott Syrian oil, suspend new investments, and consider closing embassies and consulates. For nations that have already imposed sanctions, we must vigorously enforce them.
"There should be no mistaking our resolve: These crimes against the Syrian people must stop and there must be accountability for senior figures of the regime.
"Nor should there be any doubt that the Assad's rule is unsustainable. As we heard directly today, citizens inside and outside Syria have already begun planning for a democratic transition, from the leaders of the Syrian National Council to the grassroots local councils across the country who are organizing under the most dangerous and difficult circumstances. Supporting this process should be our third line of action.
"Assad is tearing the fabric of Syrian society and seeking to pit community against community. To repair that damage and build a sustainable democracy, all Syrians will have to work together -- Alawis and Christians, Sunnis and Druze, Arabs and Kurds -- to ensure that the new Syria is governed by the rule of law and respects and protects the universal rights of every citizen, regardless of ethnicity, sect, or gender.
"We view the Syrian National Council as a leading legitimate representative of Syrians seeking peaceful democratic change and as an effective representative for the Syrian people with governments and international organization.
"As we heard today, the SNC is articulating a plan for the future, starting with an effective transition. In the coming days and weeks, we urge the full range of opposition groups and individuals in Syria, including representatives of all ethnic and religious minorities, to come together around that common vision.
"Only a genuine democratic transition will solve this crisis. As the Arab League has said, the goal should be the formation of a national unity government followed by transparent and free elections under Arab and international supervision. Assad's departure must be part of this.
"Now I recognize that some inside Syria, especially members of its minority communities, are worried about what comes after Assad. We know that they have much more to fear from his continued rule, but their concerns are understandable. So I urge this gathering to send a strong message that the world will not tolerate the replacement of one form of tyranny with another. We will resolutely oppose acts of vengeance and retribution. And we will support a managed transition that leads to a new Syria where the rights of every citizen are respected and protected, not to chaos.
"To those Syrians who still support Assad, especially members of the Syrian military: understand that this regime has no future. The longer you carry out its campaign of violence, the more it will stain your honor. But if you refuse to take part in attacks on your fellow citizens, your countrymen will hail you as heroes.
"Syria is a proud country of 23 million people, with a rich history and ancient culture. The end of Assad can mark a new beginning for Syria. It is a chance to rebuild and strengthen the foundations of the state. If Syrians come together, and especially if the leaders of Syria's business community, military, and other institutions recognize that their futures lie with a reformed Syrian state and not the regime, then Syria may yet emerge as a strong and unified country -- a respected and responsible leader in the region.
"That should be a goal we all share. And as we move forward today, I hope we stay focused on taking concrete steps to end the violence and support the courageous people of Syria in their aspirations."

I would just like to express my sincere admiration for Ms. Clinton, in her address today, warning of consequences for the Assad regime's murder of it's own citizens.
Portia S. in the U.S.A. writes:
So, it's official! The US and the UK are once again in a full alliance with Al-Qaeda, just like back in the 1980s.
Katie S. in New Jersey writes:
I respect Secretary of State Clinton speaking out, carefully and thoughtfully, and standing up for peace and humanity amidst so much turmoil. In preparation for the elections, there are many who are busy with words for political posturing. Those who are responsible for governing now, are busy using words to govern, to attempt to speak into chaos for peaceful change, and to stand for those are being lost in the seismic movements of the past two years. Thank you for your service to them and for us.
Amie D. in Connecticut writes:
A BIG THANK YOU to Ms. Clinton and her team for all her great work world wide to help the humanitarian cause for PEACE! HOWEVER; I would like to suggest that Hilary Clinton become the advocate to initiate CHANGE IN THE UN IMMEDIATELY, NOW THIS MONTH! We are one Global Community, on this planet Earth of Ours, WE NEED TO EMPOWER THE UN TO BE OUR ONLY WORLD GOVERNMENT/COURT, NOW! THIS CAN BE DONE QUICKLY!!! A new UN Resolution that states all countries MUST AGREE (or not belong to the UN, but still be subject to the UN World Court) TO A BASIC GLOBAL HUMAN-RIGHTS AGREEMENT( #1A): NO PRESIDENT, KING, EMPORER OR DICTATOR CAN COMMITE GENOCIDE OF ITS PEOPLE OR - UPON 90% EVIDENCE OF SUCH THE ACCUSE WILL BE TAKEN (BY FORCE, IF NECESSARY, overnight, using a multi - cultural UN special forces team) To a UN House Arrest Site for A Immediate Global World Court TRAIL! Thus all those in power in this Global Community (Planet Earth) know THE WORLD COURT LAW, and the people of this planet (Earth) know they are safely protected and will never again have to undergo CIVIL WAR/Genocide when requesting change with peaceful protest. NO MEMBER OF UN's THE WORLD COURT CAN HAVE A VETO POWER ON THIS (#1A) BASIC GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE-IT IS THE LAW OF THE GLOBAL LANDS THE WHOLE GLOBAL COMMUNITY(PLANET EARTH!
I do not think this suggestion to Hilary Clinton should be overlooked! Altered by 'Great Minds' yes, but please make an effort for the sake of humanity! IT'S THAT EASY! START NOW-NOT LATER! DON'T WAIT!

The same could be said about the USA...It's quite distressing to see one permanent member of the Security Council using its veto while people are being murdered – women, children, brave young men – houses are being destroyed," and "It is just despicable and I ask whose side are you on? You are clearly not on the side of the Palestinian people." Words means nothing to that woman!
So simple, change few words here and there...Voila! Syria bad guy, Israel good guy.
C. in Japan writes:
Now, we are all here because the Netanyahu regime's escalating violence in Palestine is an affront to the international community, a threat to regional security, and a grave violation of universal human rights.
To those Israelis who still support Netanyahu, especially members of the IDF: understand that this regime has no future. The longer you carry out its campaign of violence, the more it will stain your honor. But if you refuse to take part in attacks on your fellow world citizens, your countrymen will hail you as heroes.
Change few words, here and there..Voila! Now Israel is as bad as Syria...

@ Amie D
Your wishes while noble - the UN is not capable of such lofty heights.
What you want - WILL happen - only when people around the world - from all countries walk together.(or at least most) This will require people moving in much different directions then their own governments in many cases.
Only when people refuse to allow to be divided by any government, one religion or live in ignorance and fear - will what you want happen.
Monolithic structures will lead to monolithic failures - the UN as a world government would be an abomination - far worse than it is now.
There is no easy way forward for change. Some will have to give up what they fear losing - that is never easy. But what people fear losing is nothing compared to what will be lost if the right change is not embraced.
Some will have to embrace what they have forgotten or have lost already.
How can anyone embrace what is right when they embrace what is wrong while believing the wrong is right? (universal)
In many ways people that view themselves as adversaries or enemies will have to come together. ( when the change starts to happen - things will look upside down.Kind of like America and AQ calling for the end of the Assad regime)(laugh)
Every country is moving in the wrong direction - every country is moving with fear - this will cause chaos for all.
Some people have know idea about the power they sit next too and can wield for far greater positive change. They build a wall around their garden and cry they are hungry like fools - while the masses build the wall higher.
People around the world should remember one thing - 99.99% of the challenges, problems and hardships they face- are man made. If you make life hard for your neighbor - you make life hard for yourself. This is the way it has always been.
Seems in thousands of years we have learned nothing - and we think ourselves advanced, superior beings. (laugh)
Look at Afghanistan at the moment with the burning of the Quran. Burning a holy book is very ignorant, but look at the response from the afghans - they allow themselves to be defined by an ignorant act (while believing they act righteous - how many lives have been lost?) Righteous people do not allow ignorance to define them. If they understood the Quran - this would not be happening.
How often do we see this sort of nonsense in social, political and religious affairs? Too often.
One ignorant act sets in motion a response of more ignorance - around and around we go -flushing one another down the toilet.
Seems we are in a global race of who can become the crappiest.(laugh)
At some point it will all come undone.

Sec. Clinton and team deserve an A+ for diplomatic effort in gathering the opinions of nations together in condemming Assad's murderous depravity.
And while it's all good to try and treat the symptoms to relieve the suffering, no one as yet is willing to do what it takes to put an end to Assad's regime so the people may rejoice.
If Russia isn't willing to repo the tanks and weapons they've sold to Assad, then I think the President should put Mr. Medvedev on notice that we'd be perfectly willing to turn them into scrap without so much as a boot on the ground in Syria.
In the relm of all possibilities and options on the table of course. That our bilateral relations will suffer even further should Russian anti-air weapons be used against US/NATO pilots. That continuing to stand in the way, supporting a mass murderer, and arming him to kill his own people is in direct violation of the concept underscored in the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide and that the Syriuan crisis is at this point merits action on the ground in order to protect populations, that Russia should either stand with us, or stand aside, or be sanctioned and risk going into a very "deep freeze" of which the cold-war would be a warm reminder of.
( I'm envisioning an economic cost and isolation similar to , or greater than, when Russia invaded Georgia)
And when we get to the point of doing this, that we do it with the intent to eliminate Assad as a threat to his people and eliminate his capacity to make war on anyone with 100% totality.
If you'all want to prevent a civil war, forgetabout it, it's already happening, but disarming the regime is a better idea than arming the rebels to put a stop to it.
When protecting a population means forcing the regime to be more concerned with finding a hidy hole to crawl into than killing the people, bombs are the the ultimate tool of diplomacy.
There won't be a doubt in any Syrian's mind that the US stands with the Syrian people when Assad's palace becomes rubble before their very eyes.
No doubt in Assad's mind that he has three choices when the President of the US calls for him to "get out of the way" ; Get out of town, get busted, or get buried.
No doubt in Russia's mind of their limitations of power and influence when we do the right thing despite their objections.
Mr. Medvedev's choice is simply to create a better world for kids to live in by not being politically stupid anymore and no longer being willing to support those who murder children with their weapons.
That political stupidity will cost them dearly if it continues one more week.
China as well, for America can always find other suppliers of products and put a hurting on the Chinese economic outlook.
The Syrian crisis has exacerbated the trends of these two nations to act as spoilers to the will of the rest of the international community who seek to protect populations at risk, and in addressing a kinetic solution, the diplomacy involved in changing the nature of the behavior of governments who arm and support genocidal dictators and sponsors of terror must force them to become well aware of the concequences, and Sec. Clinton has raised some of those impending on the human and moral level.
As much as this gov. would like to have the UNSC on board, there's an aspect of allowing Russia and China (if they are successful in this instance, to continue to render the UNSC irrelevant to any and all crisis of this type in the furure) to have their way that is flat unnacceptable to creating a better more kid- friendly world to live in.
It's not really that complicated, it's just that those inclined to hand-wringing over doing what's right tend to make any solution so, along with those invested in the status quo.
When in doubt, and folks call it "complicated" , just simplify the equasion for them.
You have 135 of the UNGA condemming Assad, do you suppose that's a potential 2/3 majority to revoke Syria's UN membership, since US diplomacy is all about isolating tyrants?
Well now, there's a diplomatic experiment in the offing, just waiting to be tried in the meantime before hellfire rains down on Assad's forces and weaponry.
Portia S. in the U.S.A. writes:
I agree very much with C. in Japan -- the double standard here is excruciating. As for all the sabre-rattlers, I am sure that you intend to help Syria just the way you helped Libya, by bringing Al-Qaeda to power and leaving the country in ruins. But I do note that Secretary Clinton acknowledged the danger of an alliance with Al-Qaeda in her remarks this morning. I only wish she could take back her ugly comments about Russia and China, made at the "Friends of Syria" get-together. We may soon be bombing Syria, but in a very friendly fashion.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Portia S. ,
If Al-quaida wants to try and hang their credibility on the coattails of regime replacement therapy instigated by the people of a nation, in a bizare alliance with us, then it's al-quaida's double standard, and no one is fooled, and I don't see AQ running things in Lybia anytime soon.
Seems you've bought the song and dance routine the Russians would have you believe, but stay tuned, I'm sure the Sec of State will have a few more choice words for them before this is all said and done w/ Syria.
It would be nice if diplomacy was the only thing needed to stop a genocide in progress, but then a saber only rattles when the sword is out and drawn and ready to cut dictators down to size.
If it's made in the USA that is.
Portia S. in the U.S.A. writes:
@ Eric: but the hand guiding the sword is British, which is why there is no "regime change" campaign against Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, or Israel.
Walid H. in New York writes:
I am afraid that if keep waiting for fighting in Syria to stop, more innocent civilians will be killed, like what happened in Bosnia. If we delayed our intervention more it may be too late. We need to stop this dictator ASAP before he kills more of his people. America is the only nation who can make a difference and can stop the Iranian influence in the region, for the sake of all the countries in the region.

The original objective for the pilot was to provide a better understanding of demand response issues in the small commercial sector. Early findings justified a focus on offering small businesses (1) help with the energy efficiency of their buildings in exchange for occasional load shed, and (2) a portfolio of options to meet the needs of a diverse customer sector. To meet these expressed needs, the research pilot provided on-site energy efficiency advice and offered participants several program options, including the choice of either a dynamic rate or monthly payment for air-conditioning setpoint control.

Some expected stereo-3D TV popularity to grow quickly despite of all direct (technology complexities) and indirect (global economic crisis) obstacles on its way and naturally none of the over-optimistic expectations materialized. While the stereo-3D (S3D) technology for home is reality today, its popularity will grow rather slowly. A recent research shows a hundred of S3D TV channels in the world in 2015.
So far stereo-3D channels have been launched in North America, Europe, and Asia in 2010 and more will come in 2011. In addition to linear TV channels, S3D content is being made widely available on pay-TV providers video-on-demand (VOD) systems. Those, who are experimenting with 3D VOD now are expected to make linear 3D channels available as well. The result is an anticipated increase in the number of 3D TV channels to over 100 by 2015, says In-Stat market research firm.
"Pay-TV providers around the globe who have HD systems in place have jumped on the 3D content being made available to them at a faster rate than many had expected. Many took advantage of the World Cup 3D coverage to test transmission of 3D over their networks, and some of them have now launched transmission of regular 3D TV channels. The competitive nature of pay-TV ensures that once one pay-TV distributor in a country is offering 3D, the others need to be fast followers unless they want to lose their top-tier customers," claimed Michelle Abraham, a principal analyst at In-Stat.
The research firm believes that sports, movie, documentary and music channels are most likely to move to 3D first. In particular, S3D live event coverage will grow in 2011, but challenges will naturally remain. As the costs to reproduce in 3D decline over time, the 3D content production will grow more quickly.
According to In-Stat, the largest number of 3D channels are currently available in Europe, where the large number of pay-TV providers play a role.

The Seri people who landed on the unnamed island in the Sea of Cortez were astonished by the gigantic size attained by one of their animal delicacies, the chuckwalla. At 18 inches long, the chuckwallas grew three to four times the size of their mainland relatives.
They may have taken the big lizards as a favorable sign for settling there; in its honor, the Seri named the island Coftecol lifa, the Peninsula of the Giant Chuckwalla. Today, it is called San Esteban Island.
The science of island biogeography studies organisms' development in remote, isolated locations. It shows how the descendants of migrants like chuckwallas become new species, often tending toward dwarfism or gigantism — the latter in the case of the San Esteban chuckwallas.
The first, normal-sized chuckwalla to arrive on San Esteban was probably a pregnant female that floated on a piece of driftwood from mainland Mexico. With few predators around, their descendants were free to select for bigness, which probably provides the extra stomach space needed to ferment their diet of flowers and leaves. They are now a rare and unique endemic species.
When a predator attacks a chuckwalla, the lizard scrambles into the nearest rocky crevice. The chuckwalla's grapple-like claws hook the ragged lava and its back scales snag on the rocks. Gulping air, the animal inflates its wide midsection, growing half again as big and inextricably wedging itself in the space.
The Seri knew how to deal with that problem, though. The Indians would stab the lizards with sharp sticks to deflate them and then pulled them from their crevice retreats.
Today, the Seri work to preserve this harmless and endangered animal: There is a chuckwalla captive breeding program in Punta Chueca, a Seri village on San Esteban. These rare and harmless creatures inhabit only three small islands.
The Pueblo Zoo's San Esteban chuckwalla display is in a naturalistic "rocky" environment in the Islands of Life building.

text: March 21, 2013 STEUBENVILLE, OH— The best way to defend Catholic teaching on contraception is to remain on the offense and utilize secular statistics, Adam and Eve After the Pill author Mary Eberstadt told an audience gathered earlier this semester at Franciscan University of Steubenville.Eberstadt emphasized that contraception and its consequences are not "just a Catholic thing.""There's a lot of misconception and ill will out there in the secular universe, particularly toward the Catholic Church. The sexual revolution and its repercussions are an everybody thing," she said.Eberstadt became intrigued by the sexual revolution while doing research for an article she was writing on Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical, Humane Vitae. From her research Eberstadt developed extensive arguments rooted in studies conducted by secular scholars that supports Humane Vitae's teachings. This, she said, is the key for engaging society in this topic."The sexual revolution has had a … sometimes catastrophically negative fallout for men, women, and children across the globe, and the secular world remains indignantly ignorant … (and) in denial about that fallout, even as the secular evidence continues to mount," she said during her talk.Eberstadt presented myths created by the sexual revolution and reasons why the information presented in those myths is false. For example, she said, the argument that women are happier while on birth control is flawed, because there is increasing evidence that women complain more about their lifestyle—about men, marriage, their job—when on the pill."This is not the language of people who have been liberated," she said. "It is the language of people who have given up on human relationships. It is the language of defeat and unhappiness."There is hope, though, in the notion that the sexual revolution is not a permanent fixture of society."History is littered with movements that claimed inevitability for themselves and that are now as outdated as typewriters and telephone extension cords," said Eberstadt. "No social movement gets a special dispensation from history, no matter how badly some people might want it to."Eberstadt's talk was part of Franciscan University's 2013 Distinguished Speakers Series, which hosts leaders whose integration of their faith and public life inspire the next generation to be a transforming presence in the Catholic Church and society.For a full-length video of Mary Eberstadt's talk, plus presentations by many other Franciscan University speakers, go to www.FaithAndReason.com, select 'Channels,' then 'Toward a Culture of Life.'

Einhorn's Apple Argument Supported by Hidden Stock Gain (Update1)
(Updated to include statement from Apple.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The fact that Apple(AAPL) has handed shareholders a gain in the past year supports an argument made by Greenlight Capital Management's David Einhorn that the company should give more of its cash to shareholders .
Before the stock market opened Thursday, Apple's shares had fallen in the past 12 months. Still, the company was able to provide investors with a positive return, albeit one that significantly underperforms the S&P 500's near 12% gain.
The key is Apple's $2.65-a-share dividend that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company instituted in March 2012. Apple forecasts the program will return $45 billion in cash to investors over a three-year period.
Apple's current dividend has an appeal to investors, even amid the company's poor share performance in the past year and cries by the likes of Einhorn for bigger payouts.
In fact, the three quarterly dividends of $2.65 a share paid out to investors represents the company's only return in the past year.
Focusing on the almost $8 a share in dividends that Apple's paid out in the past three quarters is a shortsighted way of looking at the company, given its success in developing blockbuster products and near-record earnings.
Nevertheless, Apple's dividend-centric total return indicates the company may be entering new territory when it comes to thinking about returning cash to investors as a way to keep them invested in the stock.
Currently, Apple faces increasing uncertainty on the direction of its profit margins, as Google(GOOG) and Microsoft(MSFT) and others compete against the company's major breadwinners, the iPhone and iPad.
Meanwhile, billions in telecom carrier iPhone subsidies given by Verizon(VZ) and AT&T(T) may be at risk , according to some industry analysts.
In spite of those threats, Apple is poised to post awe-inspiring earnings in coming quarters as iPhone 5 and iPad Mini sales ramp up. As such, hedge funders like Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Management feel the company's single-digit forward earnings multiple represent an obvious value, in a tech sector marked by the sky-high valuations of Amazon(AMZN) , Netflix( NFLX ) and Facebook(FB) .
Those selling shares in the company in recent months appear to be concerned about Apple's future products, given reports of moderate tweaks to its existing set of smartphones and tablets, lower priced smartphones, and a vague push into the streaming-media business.
It is Apple's dividend policy that could be a ballast for investors as the company's existing products mature and the public awaits a new gadget that redefines the consumer electronics market.
Apple's one-year share performance -- or lack thereof -- should signal to Chief Executive Tim Cook that new thinking is still needed when it comes to the company's dividend policy after instituting a shareholder payout in 2012.

HP: Expect More PC Pressure
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - HP(HPQ) reports its fourth-quarter results before market open on Tuesday amid limited expectations for the no. 1 PC maker.
Last week's third-quarter miss by rival Dell(DELL) , the latest in a string of underwhelming results this tech earnings season, has done little to inspire confidence in HP's fourth-quarter numbers.
Moody's analyst Richard Lane pointed to Dell's 19% year-over-year decline in PC revenue, noting that within PCs, notebook revenue fell 26% and desktop revenue fell 8%.
"The news bodes ill for Hewlett-Packard Company, which derives 30% of revenue and 15% of total operating profit from its personal computer segment," he wrote. "Going into 2013, we expect worldwide personal computer unit sales to decline between 2% and 5%."
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect HP to report revenue of $30.43 billion and earnings of $1.14 a share, compared to revenue of $32.1 billion and earnings of $1.17 a share in the prior year's equivalent quarter.
These are tough times to be selling computers. Declining PC and printer sales weighed heavily on HP's third-quarter results in August. The company also lowered its guidance for fiscal 2012.
Recent comments from other tech bellwethers have done little to boost investor confidence in HP, which has seen its shares slip more than 48% this year.
"With Dell, Intel(INTC) and Microsoft(MSFT) giving disappointing comments on PC demand, investor expectations are fairly low," warned Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu, in a note.
Wu, who has a neutral rating on HP, anticipates mixed results from the tech giant on Tuesday. "From our supply chain work, we believe revenue will likely come in light, but EPS in line or better," he wrote, attributing the earnings number to HP's cost controls.
Wu's modeling $30.4 billion in revenue and earnings of $1.16 per share.
The analyst highlighted continued sluggish trends in PCs and printers, which will be somewhat offset by healthier trends in servers and services. Software, a key area of focus for HP recently, should also be positive, although this is still a relatively small part of the company's total sales.
HP, of course, is still in the throes of a major restructuring effort , as CEO Meg Whitman attempts to turn the company's fortunes around. Last month Whitman started to flesh out this plan, but warned that it will take at least another three years.
Speaking at a securities analyst meeting in New York, Whitman described fiscal 2012 as a "diagnosis and foundation" year, with fiscal 2013 a "fix and rebuild" year. "Recovery and expansion," "acceleration" and "industry-leading competition" will characterize the years 2014 through 2016.
Highlighting the scale of the challenge facing HP, however, the company expanded its previously-announced job cuts in September.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White expects HP to meet his revised fourth-quarter forecast of $30.43 billion in revenue and earnings of $1.14 a share. The analyst, however, has longer-term concerns about the tech giant.

"Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. "
Bizav Industry Rebuts Wall Street Journal Article
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) has responded to a Wall Street Journal article that criticized corporate jet use. In a letter to the editor that the Journal published June 23, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen wrote, "Your front-page story detailing the movements of 'general aviation' airplanes by businesses unfortunately neglected to mention that the personal use of a company's airplane typically accounts for only a tiny fraction of the aircraft's flights."
NBAA members and other companies in the business aviation community sent letters to the Journal echoing Bolen's comments. For example, Gary Dempsey, president of Teterboro, N.J.-based Jet Aviation Holdings USA, wrote in a June 23 letter, "The executive's life today requires round-the-clock communications with all 24 time zones. The only time key executives are out of touch is when they fly commercially, from the time they enter the boarding line until they deplane hours later. With the pace of business today, key executives cannot afford to be incommunicado for that length of time. And that dictates the use of business jets."
Another response came from Wilson S. Leach, owner and managing director of AIN Publications, which publishes BJT, Aviation International News and other aviation trade magazines. "Contrary to the portrayal in your article," wrote Leach, "business aircraft are used mainly for legitimate business transportation. In addition to providing security, time savings and efficiency to businesspeople, private individuals and government leaders, including President Obama, business aviation offers an invaluable benefit to the companies, institutions and other entities these people represent."

Meeting Description:
The conference 'Sensory-Motor Concepts in Language and Cognition' will take place on 1-3 December 2011 at the University of Duesseldorf, Germany. The conference is intended as an interdisciplinary platform for discussing different perspectives of grounded cognition and embodiment theories.
The conference focuses on the challenges and boundaries of an interdisciplinary study. The goal is to discuss strategies and to propose ways to bridge the gulf between theoretical operating disciplines such as linguistics and more experimentally orientated disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience. The following questions dealing with the representation and computation of language in the minds and brains of speakers will be raised: How do we perceive the world? In which way are the single entities of our perception stored? What role do sensory-motor concepts play in our understanding of the world and for the linguistic encoding?
Concepts are the elementary units of reason and linguistic meaning. They are conventional and relatively stable (Gallese and Lakoff 2005). Recent theories in cognitive science propose that many concepts are grounded in sensory-motor processes (Barsalou 2008, Gibbs 2005, Pezzulo et al. 2011, Wilson 2002). The conference will explore the thesis of grounded cognition from the perspectives of linguistics, cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of the mind, and critically discuss empirical, experimental and clinical results and linguistic evidence as well as conceptual arguments.
The linguistic perspective focuses on the fact that language and body are closely interrelated. Embodiment not only plays a role for the lexicon (e.g. metaphors, Steen et al. 2010), but also for the grammar of a language. For example, in many languages auxiliaries and analytic verbal constructions can be traced back to action concepts (Ströbel 2010, 2011) involving body parts such as the hand/arm (e.g. make, do, give, take, etc) or the foot/leg (e.g. go, come, etc.).
Recent neurological studies using neuroimaging techniques (e.g. fMRI, EEG) and also patient studies (Grossman et al., 2008) have provided several pieces of the puzzle concerning auditory language perception, reading and language production and deliver valuable insights into this highly developed cognitive function. Furthermore, these studies have shown that premotor and motor areas are activated somatotopically when subjects read verbs referring to hand or foot actions (Boulenger, Hauk and Pulvermüller 2009; Hauk, Johnsrude and Pulvermüller 2004; Hauk and Pulvermüller 2004). Several parts of the brain subserve different aspects of language comprehension and production and only their coordinated interplay warrants effective functioning. Another focus of interest is activation of brain motor areas in abstract use of prefixations of concrete action, such as German greifen 'grasp' vs. begreifen 'comprehend' and in abstract use of prefixations of abstract verbs, such as e. g. German denken 'think' vs. bedenken 'consider'. While contrasting the concrete and abstract simple verbs resulted in greater activation of primary motor and somatosensory cortices in concrete as compared with abstract verbs no such difference emerged for the prefixation (Rüschemeyer et al. 2007).
Similarly, in philosophy, theories of embodied or grounded cognition (Barsalou 2008, Glenberg and Kaschak 2002) have been acknowledged and the importance of sensory-motor processing concepts is now widely recognized. Traditional views of the architecture of the mind, such as computational views and the theory of a language of thought as a general format of mental representation, will be reconsidered in the light of empirical findings.
2nd Call for Papers:
The conference will focus on transparent and opaque source domains, both of which are grounded in sensory-motor concepts and highlight the interdisciplinary character of this particular phenomenon. The linguistic theoretical foundations will be enriched with neurological analysis and philosophical empirical findings. The aim of the interdisciplinary approach is to achieve a better understanding of the way language is conceptualized, structured and cognitively stored.
We invite the submission of abstracts on all kinds of empirical and theoretical approaches which involve sensory-motor concepts and which deal with the following questions or topics:
- Advantages and limits of sensory-motor source domains
- Language change based on sensory-motor concepts
- Action versus object processing
- Temporal aspects of language processing
- Clinical evidence for allocation of action or object attributes in the brain
- The relation between perception, action and sensory-motor concepts
- Is thinking based on linguistic abilities or is thinking grounded in perception and action rather than language?
- Can sensory-motor concepts be transduced into more abstract concepts, or is abstract thinking based on very different grounds than perception and action?
- Are theories of grounded cognition modern versions of concept empiricism?
- Can rationalistic/transcendental theories be formulated coherently while appreciating the role sensory motor concepts have in science?
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts are not to exceed two A4 pages in length, including examples and references, with at least 2 cm margins on all sides and 12 pt font size. The abstract should not identify the author(s).
It is intended that the conference proceedings will be published.

Gina's Memphis Mud Pie
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped, plus shaved chocolate, for garnish
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans, plus finely chopped pecans, for garnish
- 1 deep-dish, store-bought, chocolate cookie wafer crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt the chocolate and the butter in a double boiler. Stir continuously until combined and smooth.
Using a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup and salt on medium-high speed until it lightens and doubles in volume, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the melted chocolate mixture and fold in the pecans. Pour into the chocolate wafer crust and bake until the filling is just set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool. The pie will fall slightly. Once cool refrigerate until well chilled, roughly 1 1/2 hours.
In a medium bowl add the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract and beat until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pie with the whipped cream, makng a nice mound on top of the pie. Garnish the top with shaved chocolate and finely chopped pecans. Serve immediately.

Sparlin talks about river fishing
NEW ULM – River watershed district board members and Minnesota River enthusiasts attending a resources tour got a real time look at fishing Thursday at the Riverside Park boat landing.
Scott Sparlin, Executive Director for a Clean Minnesota River (CCMR) talked about the fishing on the river to several dozen people while a night crawler and spinner dangled on the end of a fishing line. Sparlin got a strike and reeled in a small catfish halfway into his talk.
"If you like fishing backwaters, this is the year to do it," Sparlin said as a light breeze could be felt at the water's edge, under large shade trees. "The river is up and its got lots of fish."
Earlier in the afternoon, tour participant Richard Meyer of Appleton reeled in about a foot long drum fish that Sparlin said should taste pretty good.
"Walleyes and catfish are starting to hit (on the Minnesota River near Appleton)," Meyer said. "Perch fishing has been good for a while on Big Stone Lake."
Sparlin told tour members to always cast at an angle with the current to avoid snags. He used night crawlers on shanked hooks, snap-on weights and standard spinners.
"You never know what you'll catch in the (Minnesota) River," Sparlin said. "I've caught sturgeon, walleyes, Northern Pike, carp, mud puppies, paddle fish, suckers, Buffalo fish, catfish, even American eels and many other species. I've caught as many as nine species in one day."
He talked about a number of southern Minnesota fish that transported by refrigerated truck to the East Coast where they become part of fresh sushi at Asian restaurants in New York City and nearby large cities.
Sparlin said the story of the American eel itself should be reason enough to feel strongly about improving the water quality of the Minnesota River and its big watershed.
"When they're (eels) ready to propagate, some American eel will swim the length of the Minnesota River to the Mississippi River at St. Paul, then swim south through St. Louis, past New Orleans, into the Gulf of Mexico, around the tip of Florida, far offshore to the Sargasso Sea to deposit their eggs," Sparlin said.
From there, young eels may take years riding ocean currents and migrating inland to rivers, lakes and streams where they feed and mature for 10 to 25 years, then migrating back to the Sargasso Sea.
"If that story isn't enough to make you believe its important to preserve the river, I don't know what it will take," Sparlin added.
He led a tour of the Minnesota River History Center in the former schoolhouse in Riverside Park before tour participants returned to the New Ulm Event Center for beer and wine tasting, a buffet dinner and Minnesota River wildlife and natural history program. Polka music by local musicians followed.
The tour continues Friday including a spouse's tour of New Ulm historic sites.

Waiting Room Games to Pass the Time
If there is one thing that everyone "hates" about going to the doctor's office it is the wait. In pediatrics there are so many variables as to how a child's visit will go that it can take longer than expected and patients have to wait. My office's waiting area has toys, books, a fish tank and a TV to pass the time. Over the years, I've noticed how parents handle the wait and how clever moms and dads can be. Once a patient gets to the exam room there may be another wait. Many parents use their cell phone or iPad to provide "in room" entertainment or older kids may get a jump start on their homework. Recently, one clever mom and her 1st grade son decided to spend some quality waiting time by going through spelling word flashcards!. When I walked in the room there they sat with the cards all spread out on the counter. He was happily working on combining words to makes sentences! Not only was he getting his required reading done, he and his mom spent quality time together. This would work for colors, shapes, numbers and vocabulary words. I hate it that my patients have to wait, but I'm now encouraging everyone to try to figure out the best ways to turn the wait time into quality family time. I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parents take charge.
