It was a case of make believe mimicking reality. From February 27 to 28, students from five law schools competed in the Philippine rounds of the most prestigious moot competition in the world, the Philip Jessup moot court competition. Simulating oral arguments before the International Court of Justice, students argued both sides of a problem involving the most contentious issues facing international law today.
For instance, given the general prohibition on the use of force which recognizes only two exceptions, those of self- defense and when authorized by the United Nations security Council; should a third exception, based on contemporary state practice, that of intervention on humanitarian grounds- now be recognized? There too was the issue of which government should be recognized by the United Nations and its organs: the regime that exercises effective control overt the territory and the inhabitants of a state, or the government that was democratically elected albeit deposed through a coup de etat but continues to be recognized as being legitimate by an overwhelming number of states. This was the dilemma faced by the international community in dealing with rebel forces in Libya.
But perhaps, what was most relevant to the Philippines was the third issue. Under the problem, several civilians were forcibly made to work in munitions factory during an armed conflict. Long after the war, these individuals attempted to seek reparations from the state that subjected them to forced labor. They initially filed suit against the state in the latter's court but the same was dismissed on the basis of prescription. They then filed suit in the court of their own states, but their claims too were dismissed on the basis of sovereign immunity from suits. Intervening meanwhile was a decision of a regional human rights court that declared that the state of nationality of the victims must give them recourse under their domestic law and in their domestic courts. This prompted the domestic court of claimant's nationality to exercise jurisdiction leading to a money judgement against the other state that resorted to forced labor and levying on execution on assets that were non-diplomatic in character.
I was most impressed by the law schools from the provinces that joined the moot court competition for the first time, to wit: Silliman and the University of the Cordillera. These two law schools proved once and for all that international law is no longer the monopoly of Manila law schools. Their students proved to be even more articulate than those coming from the capital. With a little more experience in mooting, I am sure that they will soon represent the country in the world competition held annually in Washington, DC, USA.
Congratulations to my students from UP who were adjudged the winner in the competition. Ironically, the UP team argued the side that maintained that victims of war crimes could no longer recover reparations when their home states had signed a peace treaty that renounced any and all further claims for reparations. This is the position of our government in the real case of Vinuya, the comfort women's case. Even more ironical is the fact that the Ateneo team, whose alumni include both the Chief Justice and Associate Justice Mariano Del Castillo , argued the side in favor of the comfort women: that the peace pact could not prevail as against the jus cogens norms that forced labor is a war crime and that the state responsible for it should pay reparations. One of the Ateneo coaches told me that the plight of the comfort women, and the fact that the government should espouse their claims was the subject of his thesis. At the back of my mind, I was hoping he will say this to Justice del Castillo or his researcher responsible for the court decision in Vinuya.
I also commend the Philippine Association of Law Schools Deans under the able leadership of its President, Dean,Amado Valdez and its Chairman, Dean Perry Pe, for the impressive manner by which they conducted the national rounds. Special credit should go to Dean Sol Mawis of the Lyceum University Law School who acted as this year's administrator for the competition. This year's national rounds was clearly one of the best in the history of Jessup in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, the real life victims of war crimes -deprived of a legal remedy, continue to pray and hope for justice. They have said that the impeachment of Justice del Castillo would be a step towards the right direction

Khmer Rouge
Cambodia: Remembering the Killing Fields and the Communist drive for "equality"
Douglas Levene takes a look back at what happened in Cambodia under Communist leader Pol Pot. He makes the point that although some would like to label it "genocide", it simply doesn't fit the definition. Cambodia is 95% Khmer and what happened was "Khmer on Khmer" violence. It wasn't genocide:
Rather, what happened in Cambodia is what happened in the French Revolution, and in Stalin's purges and mass collectivization campaigns, and in Mao's Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, only on a proportionately larger scale. It was mass murder in the name of equality. It wasn't "genocide"; it was Communist utopianism carried to its logical extreme. The Khmer Rouge, who called themselves Maoists, believed that the most important social and political value was equality and that in order to create their new, classless society in which everyone was equal, it was necessary to exterminate anyone who might be smarter, or better educated, or wealthier, or more talented than anyone else. Thus, they killed the educated, the bourgeoisie, the middle classes, and the rich; movie stars, pop singers, authors, urban residents, and workers for the former government; and anyone who protested — as well as the families of all the above. Towards the end, they also killed cadres who were thought to be a political threat. Whatever their crimes were, the Khmer Rouge do not seem to have been motivated by racial, ethnic, or religious hatred.
The standard leftist cause these days is "equality". We're seeing it play out right here in this country today with the demonization of the rich, corporations and other capitalists entities. And while it is easy to attempt to wave away what happened in Cambodia as an extremist example carried out by a splinter Communist group, in fact Stalin's and Mao's purges were driven by much the same goal. All were striving for a "communist utopia" and they murdered extensively in its name. Certainly there were other reasons, such as Stalin's paranoia, but the murder regime had already been established and was functioning when those victims were added to the collective total.
Given that, Levene wonders why the world insists then on claiming "genocide" as the reason for Cambodia's Killing Fields:
However, I suspect that the most important reason for the usage worldwide is that many people in the international media, international agencies, and international NGOs (not to mention academia) are reluctant to face up to the crimes committed by Communism in the name of equality. To do so might call into question the weight attached by them to equality as the most important social value and undermine the multicultural faith that evil is predominantly the product of inequality, racism, ethnic hatred, or religious fanaticism. That cannot be permitted, so such crimes must be either ignored or mislabeled. And, of course, the remaining Communist regimes in the world are only too happy to cooperate in characterizing the killing fields as the products of irrational paranoia on the part of Pol Pot and his gang rather than the perfectly rational result of the quest for perfect equality.
While there certainly are examples of "evil" driven by "racism, ethnic hatred or religious fanaticism", few match the scale of the evil perpetrated by Communist regimes. Marx called for it in his "Communist Manifesto":
'The violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat.'
And they simply carried out his instructions:
'What the bourgeoisie, therefore, produces, above all, is its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.'
Cambodia unfortunately saw a communist group take Marx at his word:
'The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.' … 'When, therefore, capital is converted into common property, into the property of all members of society, personal property is not thereby transformed into social property. It is only the social character of the property that is changed. It loses its class character.'
The Khmer Rouge attempted to impose these dicta in the quickest and most basic of ways – through murder of all those who represented the hated "bourgeoisie" in an attempt to make society "equal". As Leven says, they carried out the "perfectly rational" pursuit of Marx's utopia. A violent overthrow of the existing culture, the murder of those who weren't politically and ideologically pure or were members of the bourgeoisie class and the abolition of private property in favor of common property in order to equalize society. And, of course, it yielded the horror that became Kampuchea, with its killing fields, mass graves and torture rooms.
While certainly not on the obvious scale of the Khmer Rouge, the left continues the same sort of pursuit here. Equality has become its ideological banner, and it constantly touts it as its cultural goal in the West. Stealth Marxism – not really so stealthy to those who have bothered to look.
Ironically, it is as much a religion to those who believe in it as any featuring a deity. It requires an abiding faith that at its base the Marxist principles are sound and will someday be "properly" implemented despite the numerous examples of the horror and death it has consistently brought. As much as they deride the faith of Christians and their belief in "heaven", Marxists and Maoists and all the assorted different communists still pursue their "heaven" on earth and as a result continue to fill the mass graves its pursuit requires.
Cambodia was not genocide. Cambodia was just the timeline of Communism (and all the other Marxist "isms") in other countries speeded up for the convenience of the self-declared proletariat.
All in the name of "equality".

About the Authors: Julie Stricker, Jacqueline Foster, and Danielle LoVallo are summer interns in the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
Demand for seats was high on July 30 at the Department of State during the second annual Intern Roundtable on Trafficking in Persons. More than 100 young professionals from the Department, other government agencies, and Washington D.C.-area NGOs turned up to learn more about modern slavery and to network with others interested in the issue. They came to listen to Luis CdeBaca, the Department's Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, and Hilary Axam, acting director of the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit at the Department of Justice.
Ambassador CdeBaca discussed the growth and maturity of the movement to abolish modern slavery. More people are becoming interested in combating trafficking, while the means and mechanisms for preventing the crime, protecting victims, and prosecuting perpetrators are becoming more sophisticated. Ten years after the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), it's no secret that men, women, and children around the world are being exploited in compelled service through force, fraud, or coercion. Victims of human trafficking are no longer dichotomized into two groups based on sex: men in forced labor and women in forced prostitution. And we know more about the plight of trafficking victims here in the United States.
Even the interns' questions reflected a greater understanding of the complexities of the issue. They asked about slavery in supply chains and data collection efforts -- some of the major themes in the U.S. narrative featured in the 2010 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report.
Although the understanding of human trafficking has evolved, the reasons for dedicating one's career to combating modern slavery remain the same, both for interns and established figures in the movement. Tackling an abhorrent human rights abuse can help victims reclaim their lives. Ms. Axam told stories about victims who went from total deprivation of liberty to bringing their traffickers to justice. The justice system -- with relevant laws and increased awareness of human trafficking -- transformed their lives and gave them back a sense of self-reliance and confidence. From Ms. Axam, the interns learned that genuine concern for those who are exploited is the driving force behind the demand to work on this issue.
The demand for information and opportunities to engage on the issue is high. As students, we believe we need a greater supply of professors with anti-trafficking expertise to oversee research theses, more career options in governmental and nongovernmental agencies focusing on fighting modern slavery, and better access to avenues within every field -- from law to social work to economics -- to address this global human rights abuse. And we need more events like this to prepare us as future leaders of the anti-trafficking movement.
The next generation is ready to assume leadership in the fight to end modern slavery. Today's students are eager to start their careers in the movement. Last year, at the first intern roundtable, the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons began investing in those future careers. At this year's event, the number of interns surpassed the capacity of the conference room, and we turned away many for lack of space. Next year, we'll need a bigger room.
Learn more about how the TIP Report is compiled and U.S. efforts to combat trafficking around the world.

An Army Veterinary Corps Externship experience is very individual depending on the location and the interest of the student. The typical Veterinary Services location will give exposure to clinical veterinary medicine focusing both on government owned working dogs and privately owned pets. Clinical practice can range from your typical sick call appointment to laparoscopic surgery depending on the location.
Public health is a large aspect of the Veterinary Corps' mission and includes food safety and defense, rabies bite program, zoonotic disease, human animal bond program, etc. Leadership skills are a necessity for all Veterinary Corps Officers, so externs can expect to be exposed to Army Leadership both within the daily running of a Veterinary Clinic and the Army Mission.
Associate Veterinarians and special expertise available
Each location is unique in the expertise that it offers. The army has Board Certified Specialists that work at or visit the various locations. It is a requirement for career progression for Veterinary Corps Officers to attend postgraduate training to include: Masters in a field such as Public Health, PhD in a science field, or Residency Training in areas such as Lab. Animal, Pathology or Clinical Medicine.
Educational Resources
Each Veterinary Treatment Facility has a small library of veterinary books to be used for reference. Also, access to the internet is available for use of VIN and to access e-journals such as JAVMA. A few select locations will do topic rounds, morbitity/mortality rounds and/or journal clubs.
Students will be expected to participate in the activity of the day while on externship. Most of the locations are responsible for covering a diverse mission, so students need to be open to experiencing both the clinical and public health aspects of the job. All cost associated with the externship (travel, lodging, meals, etc) are the responsibility of the student. Students on the Army HPSP Scholarship can have the externship paid for by doing an ADT which requires a minimum of 21 days and must be completed prior 31 March in the year the student graduates.
Student Supervision
Students will have access to an Army or Civilan Veterinarian 5 days a week, 8 hours a day while on externship. Students though will also be working with Veterinary Technicians and Subject Matter Experts on Food Safety while on the externship.

Cooperative Education
For employers, Cooperative Education produces an opportunity to observe prospective future employees and influences the direction of higher education. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and to obtain the necessary forms or contact firstname.lastname@example.com for questions or feedback.
Internships provide students with the chance to gain hands on work experience outside of the classroom. When that experience aligns with coursework, it allows the student the opportunity to put what they've learned in the classroom to practice in real world settings. Many internships provide mentoring and professional development opportunities, and can be used by employers to create a pool of applicants for future hire.
If your organization is looking to establish a partnership to hire students from Delaware State University, please contact our office at 302.857.6120 or email us at email@example.com.

Why Americans Are Chronically Underinsured
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Why is there such a financial gap between what Americans earn over the course of their lifetime and the amount of insurance they buy to protect those lifetime assets for their families and loved ones?
It's a question insurance industry analysts are asking, too, and the data benchmarks they're using show that financial gap could leave families woefully unprotected in the event of the loss of a breadwinner.
Figures from Nationwide Financial show that the average American who is "married, partnered or has dependents" is underinsured by $1.2 million.
Nationwide arrives at the figure like this:
- The average consumer surveyed by Nationwide will earn about $1.5 million over the course of his or her lifetime.
- That average consumer holds about $300,000 in life insurance coverage.
- That leaves the average American breadwinner roughly $1.2 million short of what they need to replace their lifetime income via life insurance.
Why the disparity?
Nationwide says it has something to with Americans' perceptions of wealth. To most consumers, $300,000 seems like a lot of money, and thus a healthy number for life insurance coverage.
"Too many Americans make the mistake of assuming that simply providing what may appear to be a large lump sum of money for their beneficiaries will be enough to protect them," notes Eric Henderson, a senior vice president of life insurance and annuities at Nationwide. "Instead, they should think about how much of their income the insurance money will replace. If it doesn't replace a high percentage of it, their family faces the risk of financial disruption or a reduced standard of living."
"It's simple math, but it doesn't add up for 49 out of 50 of those we surveyed," he adds.
Nationwide says the average U.S. life insurance policy covers only about 16% of a policyholders' lifetime earnings (before retirement) And only 2% of those surveyed have covered their life insurance needs "completely."
Those low figures are attributed to consumers having other financial obligations to fulfill.
"Filling a $1.2 million income replacement gap without life insurance is a tall order for surviving family members when you consider late life expenses such as college, weddings, retirement, health care and long-term care," Henderson explains.
Yet a $99 monthly payment over 20 years will yield a $2.3 million life insurance policy to a healthy 35-year-old American, Nationwide says. That's more than enough to seal that income/insurance gap.
"It's common for Americans to insure the entire value of their largest assets," Henderson offers. "For most of us, the income we will earn before retirement is far more significant to the financial well-being of our family than any material possession. The cost for enough life insurance to replace this income may be less than you spend to insure your home or car."

Nucor West
DescriptionThe Nucor West Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is west of Plymouth, Utah on what is called the West Hills. These West Hills form the eastside of the Unit and the Unit stretches almost to Whites Valley. The highest elevations are on Doro, 6500 feet, but most of the north border is also at 6500 feet. The elevation on the westside above Whites Valley is 5400 feet. Only one drainage cuts the Unit, Johnson Canyon, 4800 feet to 5400 feet. The most common elevation is 5700 feet but ranges from 4800 feet to 6600 feet with an elevation difference of 1800 feet. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 5400 feet and 6000 feet an elevation difference of 600 feet.
Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48) is almost fifty percent (50%) of the land cover on the Nucor West Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU). Intermixed on this Shrubland are patches of Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). On the east part of the Unit are large areas of Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland (76). In the southeast and north are patches of Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23), and scattered throughout the Unit are smaller patches of Invasive Annual Grassland (121).
One of the Nucor West Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, PLYMOUTH (426938), is 6.1 km east of the east edge of the CWMU. PLYMOUTH has thirty-four (34) years of records, 1940 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.39 inches, but it can be as high as 8.54 inches or as low as 0.96 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 16 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 9 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 2.5 inches but can be as high as 11.0 inches. FALL temperature at PLYMOUTH averages 47.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 94.0 degrees F. or as low as 5.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 49 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 3 day above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary.

Homegrown vixen Selena Gomez rocks Thanksgiving halftime at AT&T Stadium
Grand Prairie-bred pop star, singer and actress Selena Gomez took the stage on her home turf Thursday as the halftime performer during the Thanksgiving Day football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
In part a product of the Disney Channel family, Gomez is clearly making a classier transition from adorable to adult compared to many of her peers (ahem, Miley). She was a vixen at center field Thursday, sporting a floor length skirt of leather fringe and golden, knee-high wedges. From hair and makeup to style and grace, Gomez exuded confidence and maturity.
This worked to her advantage during her three-song set that grazed the hits of her debut solo album, Stars Dance, which dropped in July. As Gomez sang the provocative lyrics to "Like a Champion," "Slow Down" and the increasingly popular "Come & Get It," her performance felt natural. The 21-year-old is, no doubt, a budding woman.
And what pop concert would be complete without a wardrobe change. Gomez stripped the skirt after two songs to transform into a modern-day Wonder Woman in red leather crop top and high-waist booty shorts. (Technically Gomez was wearing a one-piece body suit with skin-toned material, but either way she rocked it.)
Gomez's performance served as the kick off to the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign. And if she can't charm the change out of America's wallet, I don't know who will.

Grilled Flatbread with Garlic Rubbed Fillet of Beef, White Bean Puree and Sun-dried Tomato Chutney
- 1 (8-ounce) beef tenderloin
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- White Bean Puree:
- 1 cup cooked white beans, plus 1/4 cup of cooking liquid, or 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, slightly drained
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Sun-dried Tomato Chutney:
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and julienned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 recipe Flatbread, recipe follows*
- 4 roasted shallots, sliced thin
- Flatbread:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
- 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil, plus more for bowl
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe. Sun-dried Tomato Chutney:
Combine beef, olive oil, and garlic in a large resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat the grill to high. Grill on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes, for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then slice thinly.
Puree the beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat grill to high. Flatten flatbread dough and gently press into a large rectangle and throw on grill. Grill on 1 side until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill, turn over, and spread each flatbread with a thin layer of White Bean Puree, sliced beef, roasted shallots, and Tomato Chutney. Return to grill, close cover and cook for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
*To roast shallots on the grill, place the shallot in the center of a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bring the edges of foil together and scrunch to seal tightly. Place on a hot grill, close the cover and "roast" for 25 to 30 minutes or until soft. Remove the skin and slice.
Mix water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and stir to incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
Put sponge in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 balls, if desired, let rise again for 1/2 hour, and then roll out as desired.

Matt,Great job, bro! She's a beauty. Looks professionally done!
As I patiently await the arrival of my spiral mixer from Italy, I decided to hone my stretch & fold skills. This is the perfect formula for those of you who don't have a mixer and/or sour dough culture. This is by far the best focaccia I have ever had. The overall flavor was phenomenal; the crumb was super soft & extremely light & airy. The dough tripled in volume as soon as it went into the oven. The details can be seen @ http://chefkeem.com/kitchen/chef-stories/foodie-news/miscellaneous-archives/chef-features/easy-focaccia-bread-recipe-with-flavorful-kombucha-dough-starterWith my version, I substituted the IDY with fresh yeast & did not use any sugar in my poolish. I also went with an overnight poolish fermentation. (adjusting the amount of yeast accordingly) For the final dough I substituted the sugar for organic barley malt.This focaccia absolutely rocked!!!! It requires a bit of work but it's well worth it.Matt
Matt,Your Focaccia looks fantastic! Do you mind telling me what kind of flour you used? Sure could eat a piece of that right now.I am anxious to hear how your spiral mixer works.Norma

The summer heat can make anyone want to jump into a pool, lake or ocean to get that much-needed break from the hot sun - including pets. However, there are some safety precautions any dog owner should take before they let their canine plunge into the water, according to The Star.
Not all dogs can swim, and in some scenarios they can get panicked if they feel like they do not have a way out. It is important to keep an eye on a dog before they immerse themselves into the water. First, an owner should take their furry friend to a shallow part of the water so it can learn how to swim, the media outlet reports.
According to the ASPCA, introducing a canine to the water as soon as possible is the best way for it to get used to it. It is also important to make sure to bring fresh water for the dog to drink, and have shade available. Even in the water, dogs can get too hot in the sun, which can lead to heatstroke, which could be detrimental to canine health.

Vegetarian Chili Verde
Recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis
- Giada at Home
Though there is some prep work that goes into this chili, it's still a convenience in so many ways. For example, it can be made 2 or 3 days[ ahead. Also, it uses canned fire-roasted green chiles as the basis for the sauce and skips the laborious task of roasting and peeling your own. The corn bread, too, which is nice and moist, can be made 1 day ahead. Just cool it completely, then wrap it tightly in foil and let it stand at room temperature.]
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- One 8-ounce Yukon gold potato, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
- One 8-ounce yam (red-skinned sweet potato), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
- 4 large cloves garlic, flattened, peeled and chopped
- 4 large tomatillos (8 to 9 ounces), husked, rinsed, cored and chopped
- 2 large poblano chiles (8 to 9 ounces), stemmed, seeded; 1 diced, 1 cut into 4 strips
- 2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- One 28-ounce can hominy with juices (preferably golden)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- One 7-ounce can diced mild green chiles
- Garnishes, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped green onions, sliced avocados, lime wedges and chopped serrano chiles)
- Buttermilk and Sour Cream Corn Bread, recipe follows
- Buttermilk and Sour Cream Corn Bread:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus more for greasing
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Heat the oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, potatoes, yams, garlic, tomatillos and poblanos. Cover and sweat until the onions are tender, stirring often to prevent browning, about 8 minutes. Mix in the oregano, flour, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the hominy with the juices and the broth and bring the chili to a simmer.
Place the green chiles in a processor. Using tongs, transfer strips of the poblano chile from the pot to the processor; blend just until smooth. Scrape the chile sauce into the pot.
Cover and simmer the chili 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the potatoes and yams are tender and the chili is reduced to desired consistency, stirring often, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
Ladle the chili into bowls. Serve with garnishes and Buttermilk and Sour Cream Corn Bread.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 9 by 2-inch metal baking pan.
Blend the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a processor for 5 seconds. Add the butter cubes. Blend until the butter is reduced to tiny pieces, 15 to 20 seconds. Whisk the buttermilk, sour cream and eggs in a large bowl to blend. Add the dry ingredients from the processor and stir until evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the corn bread until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool the bread on a rack at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I've had the Lyric for quite a few months now. Originally I had it fitted in a Stonebridge OM22CM. I had it sounding great, but was a little difficult for the live stuff I was doing at the time with a full band, so I reverted back to an M1A in that guitar.
I've since installed it into a Gitane D250M for gypsy jazz. Again, it was sounding great! Just a little boost in the bass and it was sounding very natural and very responsive. For some reason, today, it now sounds absolutely terrible. It's lost all it's naturalness, and now sounds extremely boxy, even distorting when played anything like loudly. It's like something's broken. I've checked all the obvious things, tried different leads, a new battery, checked input levels, checked the pickup is still attached properly etc. It's quite frustrating, as I'm in the middle of some recording at the moment, and it was sounding so good just yesterday! Could the Lyric have developed a fault?

Early harvest grape leaves from the Soultanina Greek wine variety, grown at the Kazakis family vineyards are handpicked one by one in May to ensure maximum tenderness and optimum flavor. This explains the lighter green color of the product. Picked fresh and tender, preserved in a light brine and then pasteurized, they retain their natural flavor that makes them an essential ingredient for various Greek dishes, such as "Dolmas - Stuffed grape leaves." The choice of the variety Soultanina has been made on purpose, since they are the most tender and tasty leaves available and can be used straight from the jar, with no need to blanch the leaves.

Issue Brief #3819 on Energy and Environment
January 8, 2013
January 8, 2013 | Issue Brief on Energy and Environment
Interested in raising revenue and reducing global warming, some policymakers in Washington are floating the idea of a carbon tax. In order to sway conservatives to support a carbon tax, proponents are pushing for either revenue neutrality or replacing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) greenhouse gas regulations. These proponents ignore three critical realities of implementing a carbon tax.
Since an overwhelming majority of America's energy needs are met by carbon-emitting fossil fuels, regulations of these fuels directly raise the cost of electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, and home heating oil. Since low-income families spend a larger proportion of their income on energy, a tax that increases energy prices would disproportionately affect the budgets of the poorest American families.
Businesses, faced with higher energy costs, would likely pass those costs on to consumers. However, if a company had to absorb the costs, high energy costs would squeeze profit margins and prevent businesses from investing and expanding. Investors might even move their funds away from energy companies and toward less regulated business enterprises, thus depriving fossil-fuel-based companies much-needed cash for more efficient power generation. The result is higher energy costs, lower income, and fewer jobs.
In 2012, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) made a comparison analysis for a carbon tax that starts at $25 and rises by 5 percent per year (after adjusting for inflation).[1] Compared to the baseline case, without the carbon tax, this would[2]:
In particular, energy-intensive industries and manufacturing would feel the adverse effects of a carbon tax, which comes at a time when many companies, lured by the prospect of abundant and cheap natural gas, are moving to the United States. A recent KPMG analysis of the U.S. chemical industry emphasizes, "With a new and abundant source of low-cost feedstock, the US market has transformed to become one of the most advantageous markets for chemical production in the world."[3] A carbon tax would unnecessarily reverse this resurgence.
Unilaterally reducing greenhouse gases would not make a dent on global emissions and, consequently, would do next to nothing to reduce global temperatures. Even if the U.S. were to curb carbon emissions 83 percent below 2005 levels by 2050 (what cap-and-trade bills required), it would reduce global temperatures by only a few tenths of a degree Celsius by the close of the century.[4]
This is because future carbon emissions will come overwhelmingly from the developing world (China and India, for example), which shows little appetite for squeezing economic growth for the sake of the environment.
A common argument is that if the U.S. leads in reducing emissions, the rest of the world would follow suit. But this is clearly not the case. Despite actions taken by the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide, the developing world has massive expansions planned to increase coal consumption. According to a recent report from the World Resources Institute, there are plans to build nearly 1,200 coal-fired power plants in 59 different countries totaling over 1.4 million megawatts. China and India alone account for 76 percent of the proposals.[5]
Developing countries want access to cheap, reliable electricity (especially since many areas do not even have access to electricity) and have more pressing environmental needs. It is simply wishful thinking to assume that these countries would follow America's lead and curb economic growth to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Two suggestions to garner more bipartisan support for a carbon tax have been to ensure that the tax is revenue neutral by reducing other taxes or to replace the EPA's regulations of greenhouse gas emissions with the CO2 tax. Both proposals are political impossibilities.
Just the sniff of a new revenue stream to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars annually has the special interests in Washington running to Congress for more handouts. Before carbon tax legislation has even been introduced, ideas on how to use the revenue already include income transfers, paying for defense spending cuts, reducing the deficit, transferring money to developing countries to adapt to climate change and the list goes on. History shows that any time more money comes into the coffers of the federal government, there is a political interest to spend it one way or another.[6]
Some proponents of a carbon tax believe that the tax properly prices the externalities that vex opponents of fossil fuels and, therefore, eliminates the need for regulation of carbon dioxide. By this logic, cap and trade would also have eliminated the need for carbon regulation. However, instead of reducing regulations, the cap-and-trade bills would have added to them. For instance, the Waxman-Markey bill went on for nearly 700 pages before it even began the cap-and-trade section.
Just in case there is any confusion as to whether the left is willing to trade off regulation for a carbon tax, Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) recently cleared things up: "A carbon tax or a price on carbon would be a strong incentive for the development of new technologies. But because it's so complicated, I would not support preempting EPA. EPA can assure us that we can actually get the reductions we need."[7] In short, a carbon tax would be no substitute for regulation.
The economic, environmental, and political realities surrounding a carbon tax are clear indications that this is bad policy. Recently, two bipartisan resolutions publicly denounced the possibility of a carbon tax, highlighting the crushing economic and minimal environmental effects of the tax. One resolution, sponsored concurrently by Senator David Vitter (R-LA) and Representative Mike Pompeo (R-KS), and a second by Representative David McKinley (R-WV) and co-sponsored by five other Republicans and three Democrats expressed their disapproval of the idea.[8]
Whether the American economy is booming or heading off a fiscal cliff, the right time for a carbon tax is never.

[1]The EIA makes a variety of assumptions for the projections in its Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) 2012. It alters those assumptions to produce the side cases. For instance, in its reference case, it assumes that there is no tax on carbon dioxide. In the carbon tax side case we use, the EIA assumes that there will be a carbon tax starting at $25 per metric ton in 2012 and rising by 5 percent per year in real dollars. The reference case and side cases for the AEO 2012 can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.eia.gov/pub/forecasts/aeo/full/textdata/ (accessed January 8, 2013).
[2]The EIA reference case imposes a 3 percentage point premium on the cost of capital for coal-fired power plants to account for the risk of possible regulation. This undercounts the cost of regulation by attributing a portion of it to the reference case. Therefore, we use the "No Greenhouse Gas Concern" side case as our baseline.

Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is located at our Security Command Center, located on the upper level by the family restrooms. You may report or inquire about your missing belongings here.
Mall Walking

The Pheasant Lane Mall Walker Program, "Hearts & Soles", is designed to provide a safe, indoor location for mall walkers of all ages. This program is provided as a free service to the community and sponsored by Lowell General Hospital. The doors in the Food Court will open on Monday - Saturday at 8:00am and Sundays at 9:00am. All walkers are asked to stay on the lower level to do their walking and each time around the mall is a 1/2 mile which includes the loop in the Food Court.

 Mall Walking Club
 The Walking Club is sponsored by the generous support of Lowell General Hospital. Visit their website to learn more about their programs and services at www.lowellgeneral.org. Lowell General Hospital's commitment to comprehensive services, compassionate care and clinical excellence has earned the reputation as the leading community hospital in the Merrimack Valley. Their mission is providing healthcare that meets the highest of standards: "yours!"

 Visit the Mall Management Office located on the Upper Level next to Macy's to sign up for the Mall Walking Club.

 Lowell General will be providing complimentary blood pressure checks on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. Visit them near the Food Court between 8-10AM.

 Here is how you get some great benefits of mall walking:
 . Protect your feet. If you're walking regularly, replace your shoes every six months. Over time, arch support wears away and joint and heel pain may result. A rule of thumb: If your shoe has molded itself into the shape of your foot, it doesn't have support left. You can cushion your walking shoes with insoles or thick socks.
 . Stand up straight. Maintaining good posture when you walk helps give your abs a workout. "Keep yourself straight up while holding in your ab muscles; every step becomes a mini sit-up". Most of us lean forward when we walk but we can catch ourselves easily at the mall: "Just check your posture in your reflection in the windows".
 . Vary your speeds. After warming up, choose a wing - say, Sears to Macy's - and walk fast. Slow down for a lap to catch your breath, then pick up the pace again. An interval is one fast lap plus one slow one. "Try three intervals per walk every other day". You'll build up both speed and muscle.
 . Make friends. In a mall you have a community of people from grandmothers to toddlers - who are all walking. If you meet people who are like-minded, everyone's healthy habits may rub off.

I am usually good about paying attention to what I put into my body but I recently noticed a protein shake I use has a very high % of my daily cholesterol intake.
Now I have always had good to great cholesterol so I didn't really need to pay too close attention but now that I know I am a bit apprehensive about continuing with this product.
My question is: is this common with most or all whey protein supplements?
The product I am using now claims one serving, IIRC 25 grams of protein, accounts for 23% of the daily allowance of cholesterol, couple that with the fact our bodies create 70% of our cholesterol on a daily basis and that sounds a bit concerning. Especially since it is recommended to have 2 servings a day for best results.
Not a chance I do that now knowing what I know.

The small town of Cetara , situated on the coastline between Maiori and Vietri sul
mare , is renowned for its highly developed fishing traditions .
The houses here all seem to wilfully lean towards the sea , the smell of processed anchovies wafts through the town and the harbour is always full of fishing boats . The name Cetara in all likelihood comes from the Latin word cetaria , which was the name of the ancient tuna –fishing boats . The town extends around the Church of San Pietro ( St. Peter ) with its characteristic 13th century bell-tower and mullioned windows with two light . Lying at the eastern most corner of the Republic of Amalfi , Cetara bordered on the Lombard territory of Salerno . Chronicles relate two episodes of the town being occupied by the Moors : the first one by the Saracens in the year 879 , and the second by the Turk, Sinàn Bassà in 1551. Living proof of the town's past battles can be found in the ancient tower , which consists of two separate constructions: one is cylinder –shaped and dates from the Angevin period , while the other is square in design and was built during the latter half of the 16th century . Cetara was jointly administered by Maiori and Cava dei Tirreni until 1883 when it became an autonomous municipality .
Today , the quaint beauty of this town , which appears like a miniature mountainside carving comes under siege by hordes of tourists at various times of the year .

In USA Today comes this story from the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Wednesday permanently removed a German bishop from his Limburg diocese after his 31 million-euro ($43-million) new residence complex caused an uproar among the faithful.
Francis had temporarily expelled Monsignor Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst from Limburg in October pending a church inquiry.
At the center of the controversy was the price tag for the construction of a new bishop's residence complex and related renovations. Tebartz-van Elst defended the expenditures, saying the bill was actually for 10 projects and there were additional costs because the buildings were under historical protection.
But in a country where Martin Luther launched the Reformation five centuries ago in response to what he said were excesses and abuses within the church, the outcry was enormous. The perceived lack of financial transparency also struck a chord since a church tax in Germany brings in billions a year to the German church.
The Vatican said Wednesday that the inquiry into the renovation found that Tebartz-van Elst could no longer exercise his ministry in Limburg and that Francis had accepted his resignation, which was originally offered Oct. 20.
Back in October, I was part of a panel of guests on the BBC program World Have Your Say, discussing the question, "Should Religious Leaders Live a Modest Life?" The springboard for the conversation was the scandal surrounding Monsignor Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst.
At the Boston Globe yesterday, John Allen sees this as a potential sign of a social gospel alliance between Pope Francis and President Obama, whose first meeting is today: (more…)

I've never understood the fixation on bench press. Why do they even mess with it at the Combine? I think that a deadlift would be a far better measure of total strength or even a squat. In terms of pure athleticism, I think that a snatch would be the best choice - of course, it's too technically complex for the average athlete. And, many would lack the mobility to be able to get deep enough in an overhead squat to catch a heavy snatch.
But, realistically, how often is an athlete going to be lying on their back pushing someone off of them - particularly a football player?
I suppose you could argue MMA when somebody is on their back, but to get a guy off you it's really going to come down to the ability to use the hips to "buck" the guy off. And, I'd contend that pulling strength is more critical to control the arms, wrist, etc. whether you're working from the guard or working in the clinch along the cage.
It's interesting that you never hear anybody bragging about their row - ha ha! And, that's why you tend to see a lot of shoulder issues as people have mentioned here (i.e. bench pressers' shoulder).
By the way, if you want to alleviate the problem, start by checking your technique. You should be retracting and pulling the scapula back on the bench and making the upper back very tight. This will pull the acromion off of the humeral head and give your rotator cuff tendons some breathing room. The biggest challenge in bench pressing is the fact that the scapula are trapped between the bench and the weight of the person. The scapula is important for 60 degrees of motion at the shoulder. This is referred to as scapulohumeral rhythm. Since the scapula is fixed to the bench and it can't move like it normally would if you were standing up, pulling it back & down and retracting it will provide more space for the upper arm to move and help to prevent the rotator cuff tendons and bursa from being pinched under the acromion.
Also, try to keep the elbows tucked into at least a 45 degree angle. And, I would highly encourage people to dump the upright row exercise. That puts your shoulder into an abducted and internally rotated position under load - a recipe for impingement syndrome somewhere down the line
So, how does posture fit into the equation? Well, if you are really rounded forward in the shoulders, then your scapula will be malaligned. Most likely, they will be protracted (abducted) - around towards the side of your body and they will actually be tilted forward - although you wouldn't be able to see this. Again, this closes off that space under the acromion and it also affects your ROM at the shoulder because the scapula will not upwardly rotate properly. I'd contend that in many instances when people have poor shoulder flexibility, it's not a flexibility issue at all. It's related to scapular positioning and that's possibly a function of their upper back posture and mobility.
Anyway, just some food for thought to get your brain going! I'd stick to DB and try to stay in a neutral grip or as close to neutral as possible. Also, I'd do a higher ratio of pulling to pushing exercises. Work on getting those upper back muscles stronger to offset the front side muscles. Couple this with some pec/pec minor stretching and T-spine mobility exercises and I bet you'll see a difference in your posture and your some of your shoulder issues.

This week's photograph features U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford presenting his credentials to Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, in Damascus, Syria, on January 27, 2011.
Speaking to reporters on January 7, Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P.J. Crowley said, "We have significant interests in Damascus and across the Middle East. Being without an ambassador serves no purpose other than to disadvantage the United States. A high-level representative in Damascus will make it possible to deliver strong, consistent messages to the Syrian Government and further U.S. interests and security. Putting an ambassador in Damascus should not be viewed as a reward to the Syrian Government. It improves our ability to deliver firm messages to the Syrian Government and to articulate clearly our concerns and priorities to Syria."
