news release
Westchester County and NYPA Unveil One of County's Largest Solar Initiatives on Courthouse Rooftop: Solar Project is One of Many NYPA/County Projects to Save Energy and Reduce CO2
October 5, 2009

WHITE PLAINS—New York Power Authority (NYPA) President and Chief Executive Officer Richard M. Kessel and Westchester County Executive Andrew J. Spano were joined by several government officials today at the White Plains courthouse to announce one of the county's largest solar photovoltaic (PV) installations.
The project, now under construction at the low-rise courthouse in downtown White Plains, is an initiative that is part of a partnership between NYPA and Westchester County government that saves millions of dollars in energy costs and reduces carbon emissions.
The solar installation is one of 22 clean energy initiatives being undertaken by NYPA and Westchester County, including solar and wind power, hybrid vehicles, energy efficient boilers, and lighting replacement improvements. The ongoing initiatives are expected to save almost $2.5 million a year in energy costs and remove nearly 4,000 tons of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere annually.
"Westchester County has been a valued partner to NYPA for nearly two decades," Kessel said. "We've worked together on dozens of projects over the years—including initiatives currently underway—and are pleased to now be able to jointly announce one of the largest solar initiatives in the county."
"This project is just the tip of the iceberg," said Spano. "In partnership with NYPA, we have 22 initiatives at various stages that, in addition to saving us millions, will remove tons and tons of carbon from the air. If every government in every state would do the same, just think of the benefits to the environment."
The PV system has a capacity of 124 kilowatts (kw) and should be ready for operation by the end of the year, helping to reduce the on-site electricity demand. It is estimated that it will save taxpayers almost $11,000 a year.
Since the early 1990s, NYPA has worked with Westchester County, a Power Authority electricity customer, to advance energy technologies and energy efficiency projects. In total, NYPA has completed 25 projects at 32 facilities in the county, saving taxpayers more than $1.6 million a year and reducing greenhouse gases by more than 16,000 tons annually. The facilities have included schools, hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities, and municipal buildings.
The Power Authority is also working with the county on a PV installation in Valhalla with a capacity of 70 kw, which is being installed at a support-services building owned by the county Department of Emergency Services. The excess electricity generation, beyond the power for meeting the building's needs, will be exported to several public buildings in Valhalla, including the medical center, through an electric distribution network. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
In addition, NYPA and the county are teaming together on about a dozen other energy efficiency and clean energy initiatives.
The Power Authority is a leader in promoting energy-efficiency and new energy technologies and is the nation's largest state-owned electric utility with 18 generating plants and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines in various parts of the state.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state-owned electric utility, with 18 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ About 75 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower.

On January 20, 2009, President Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States of America. What foreign policy objectives should the Obama Administration establish as its top priorities?
What foreign policy objectives should the Obama Administration establish as its top priorities?
Joe in Tennessee writes:
LOVED Obamas spin on Hemmingways: The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger in the broken places. PERFECT....
1. Economic viability and stability. Like it or not, we are a democracy premised on monetary trade; regardless of the terminology you wish to use to identify it. The creation of the European dollar combined with the stability of other world powers who may decide not to continue using U.S. currency is a realistic problem and hits the average American in every respect. Warren Buffett put it best: We have a Pearl Harbor economic situation right now and is going to work with the current Administration.
2. New methodology of diplomacy. We seemed to be strong where we did not need be and weak where we should have. This is hindsight and Russia is the prime example. Due to being outmaneuvered and with our pants down, we over reacted and created a rift diplomatically. Russia is not the Russia of old, but a stronger one with much more Nationalistic support of its people for the government and a democracy exist which once never was. Our view of Putin pulling in the ropes to get control of his country as a KGB ideology when the free market path went array was his responsibility as a leader for the greater good of his people. He never said he was going to wave an American Flag as a leader, but put his country back to its rightful place. Whatever politics Putin played in between, the mistake was our own. He has always been open about his overviews. We were simply suckered and having been in DC, the last people to say they made a mistake are the specialist. China is another example and has to be handled separately, not linearly as if it were Russia. India is another separate problem, while the U.S. has outsourced many of our computer programming and service related jobs there, it has come at a greater cost than anticipated and while it has strong ties to Russia, the purchase of an entire military force shows they want independence and will soon be population greater than China and better educated.
3. Putting out the fires. We need a much stronger view in putting out the fires world wide as there are times in which diplomacy will simply not work and to think such will result in many more Rwanda's.
4. HOPE above all the cry of HOPE is what America stands for and that ideology for Freedom and human respect must never be lost. While we put out the olive branch first, we must take action quicker when the hand does not open to accept it. Perhaps this should be first?
5. Counterfeiting of currency: The amount of counterfeit monies worldwide alone cause the alteration of many world currencies. While we tend to view only narcotics, arms trade and human trafficking as the major money makers, the simplest of all methods have been used in astronomical amounts in the last decade. Why it has been overlooked is very questionable to say the least.
6. Crime. Crime is a social element. Like the herding instinct: When crime is not organized, it becomes terroristic and political in nature-and seeks itself at the extreme ends in quantity. When it is organized too much, it becomes a control element with power exceeding much political leadership worldwide. Since it will always exist, a methodology for control must be established by world governments. IT is a reality.
7. Working with the UN to deal with corporate greed and establish something like the Logan act. The countries most in view of this are France, Germany, China and the U.S. -- it is not the countries Governments; but, the greed of corporations that deliberately violate their home countries laws by relocation. Imagine, the very machetes that were used in the genocide in Rwanda came from France, drafted through a French bank that took US currency, meant for the people in rebuilding; but, used for its own purpose claiming insolvency. There must be a stronger set of enforcable laws within the UN to make corporations accountable. Many of the woes of our world are directly related to Greed and nothing more...we need to be builders.

Peace in the Middle East -- achieved through diplomacy, beginning with extensive, personal, private (totally out of the limelight) discussions between the Secretary of State and Queen Noor of Jordan, who has a fantastic grasp of the situation. (If one wants change, one must do something different.)
Nathan in U.S.A. writes:
The Obama Administration should set as their top priorities the following:
1. Decrease the hegemonic approach to global solutions. In such an interconnected world, there is very little use for unilateral actions from the United States.
2. Eliminating and/or decreasing the use of U.S. contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. For some projects this may not be completely obtainable; however, for the smaller projects, NGOs have proven to be able to make more effective use of money and have much less overhead costs.
3. Ending the "War on Terror". The name itself is horrendous for the fact that you cannot win a war on terror. Terrorism is not something tangible that you can fight-its an ideal.
4. Winning over the minds of the global youth. The only reason that terrorist elements are able to recruit people to join their ranks, is because the children have nothing. They often grow up in impoverished areas, which provides no true school. These children are then offered some money to go and learn at a madrasah, where in turn they are taught a false version of Islam. Education, not war, is the answer. For further information on this subject I would direct you to read Greg Mortenson's book titled "Three Cups of Tea." Further information can be found in a quick google search. Mr. Mortenson is the Executive Director of the Central Asia Institute. [Also may I add-the fact that the State Department has offered the CAI 2M dollars in funding, but its dependent upon when & where the government decides the funds to be used is just awful. I think Mr. Mortenson's work speaks for itself as he's been able to build schools and travel to remote villages in Pakistan and Afganistan. I surely hope this stance changes in the future.]
5. Human Rights & Human Trafficking & Asylum. Human Trafficking is the most horrendous violation of a person's rights. The issue is not talked much about because its horrendous to think about, yet there is much work that needs to be done. In the United States alone, we have people who are trafficked here and forced to work in brothels.
Ultimately, our foreign policy cannot be triaged. Our world has many problems and there are only so many solutions. Our goals the past few years has been selfish and lacked foresight. We need to as a global community come together and discuss real issues. The cold war mentality has to go. How are we to ever have global peace and prosperity if we refuse to talk with people whose ideas differ from our own. I believe the ethnocentric foreign policy approach we have taken has failed our nation greatly.
Theresa in Iowa writes:
Exerting all efforts to make make Israel honor the 1967 boundaries and give the Palestinians back their land and avert another war. Israel must NOT be allowed to use settler colonialism and U.S. weapons to build "greater Israel". They must be a SECULAR, MULTICULTURAL state - or it will be war war war -- funded by Brooklyn Jews and Texas Evangelists.
PLEASE stop selling arms to Israel, and talk to Hamas and Fatah to form a coalition, and get the Israelis back within their borders. It's the #1 problem in the world, and AIPAC doesn't run the country, they just TELL you they do.
Melinda in California writes:
It is difficult to decide what foreign policy objective(s) to focus on; unfortunately, the choices out there are too numerous to contemplate. We need to fix our own country FIRST; only by fixing Domestic Policy can we repair our reputation with the foreign community.
Extend the olive branch to all countries who wish to be our ally, and let them come to us. Look to the successful domestic policies of other countries and LEARN from them (i.e., Education policy in Asian countries)and APPLY those successful policies. Let the United Nations be the World's Police Force, and trust that justice will prevail. Repeal NAFTA (sorry, Secretary Clinton)-bring those jobs back to the USA. Stop accepting bribes from Big Corporations who want to influence the way Foreign Policy is written to begin with.
But that doesn't mean we have to run away with our tails between our legs to lick our wounds; even the best adversaries know when to retreat to their respective corners and regroup!
Once we pick OURSELVES up, dust OURSELVES off, and move OURSELVES forward, can we once again be the United States that the world USED TO look up to.
Chatterjee in India writes:
Stregthen UN army and it's dispute monitoring system so that it can play both more pro-active and active role resolution of dispute anywhere in world so that no individual country has to intervene militarily anywhere in the world except in self defence.
Mobilise U.S. resources for alleviation of poverty in developing countries in a manner which helps it overcome recession now and establish an economic order based on strength of each country and promoting consumption and free flow of goods and services among all nations of the world. For example: U.S. must open channels of cooperation with India in the field of agriculture to create market for U.S. agricultural surplus by helping India to shift it's farming pattern to alternative crops, invigorate India's food processing sector for economic empowerment at grass root level for increased demand of goods and services from devloped countries. Similarly, India and U.S. must cooperate in housing sector (PURA like projects.) I would be happy to associate myself with orgo like USAID for designing and execute a program prototype in India ideally.
U.S. must get to the depth of Chinese ultimate foreign policy objectives and challenges posed by them to countries in Asia and rest of the world including USA.
U.S. must evolve a response to Chinese challenge by involving empowring countries of South Asia and South East Asia.
U.S. must promote growth of population in Europe, Japan and Australia to generate demand of goods and services in next 5 years onwards.
The above thoughts are inspired by one basic thought all nations must empower it's people to create market for all kinds of goods and services. This is not to say that sometime all countries have to moderate consumption and production in a calibrated manner for optimal utilisation of world resources.

Do we really want to close our excellent facility at Guantanamo Bay Cuba? The place has history; in chapter three of Benjamin Witte?s book, Law and the Long War, a detailed description of the camp is given. It would be the ideal location to house illegal aliens prior to deportation. GITMO could be use by DHS/ICE to house all non violent detainees both men and women. I?m sure GITMO meets the minimum standards set forth in the following documentation (http://www.ice.gov/partners/dro/PBNDS/index.htm ). Instead of each State housing illegal?s in its own ICE facility, Guantanamo Bay could be the holding and processing point for deportations nationwide. This might be a cost effective solution for the taxpayer. The book goes on to say that GITMO has excellent communication capabilities and can be accessed by boat and aircraft. Why close the place when it could be used for other purposes. If a bird flu pandemic were to breakout where would we quarantine folks? One of the many unintended consequences of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has been the incarceration of so called illegal combatants. Yet.. . It troubles me that an individual stopped and finger printed in Kirkuk Iraq by US Military personnel, generates a positive criminal database hit for a crime/conviction in Detroit Michigan. Something needs to be done to keep non US citizens for staying in the US if they have committed a crime. They should serve time or be immediately deported if they are on a visa or in the country illegally. It?s incredibly easy to move around in the US, you don?t even have to show ID to board a bus at a Gray Hound bus terminal. All this being said; closing GITMO is not the right move. I mean you aren?t going to mothball the aircraft you used for extraordinary renditions. The airplane(s) is not guilty of human rights violations. You aren?t going to close military bases just because they might have been used to hold terror suspects before sending them to countries where more aggressive interrogation methods could be legally utilized. It just does not make since. Send the detainees back to where they belong and use the facility for something else.

Allen in Washington writes:
I am thrilled to hear George Mitchell will be serving as Mideast envoy. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is clearly a top priority.
I would like to see Cuban relations begin to move toward normalization.
Additionally I think that our Latin American policy in general should move towards tying trade to human rights.
I would pose a controversial idea: that we reconsider the way the war on drugs is funded and how it is carried out. My suggestion with regard to Marijuana is to remove Federal penalties, allow the states to prioritize it as they see fit, and move off interdiction as the primary focus. My theory is that by doing so you would cause the street price to drop as demand falls off, thus removing profits.
Rob in Kuwait writes:
As an American expat here in q8, at the risk of stating the obvious, difficult as it may be, getting something done with I/P should be the top priority. Needs to be. Putting a ton of stuff aside, to see the local/regional media around here, describing it as less than balanced is an early contender for understatement of the year. Plenty of front-page pictures of dead children, columns with lines like "Surely the Jews will cease to exist."
Much as there's seemingly at least some right and wrong on both sides, a lot of people in the Middle East have had and are having a steady diet of "It's all the other side's fault." As hardened and angry as the views are, it's only getting worse.

Mexico is a growing problem day by day. Not only for the people living inside of Mexico in fear, but also for the U.S.A. who is of course its northern neighbor. I am half Mexican, the majority of my family lives in a small mountain town that has recently be overrun with drug gangs...and I am therefore very close to the situation by way of weekly phone calls. Something must be done to help establish democratic rule throughout that will work to eradicate the drug cartels and rampant corruption that threatens not only the daily lives of Mexicans and foreigners living and visiting Mexico, but also its neighboring countries.
Andrew in the United Kingdom writes:
The first priority should be the reigning in of Russia -- probably by aiding Europe in gaining more autonomy in energy policy.
The second should be pressure Israel into realising that it is a tiny country almost completely surrounded by larger countries that it has angered and humiliated for 40+ years. Only when Israel recognises the reality of its own situation will it begin to adopt a Realpolitik and negotiate with its neighbours and others on realistic terms. As it is, the U.S.A. props it up whenever propping is needed, and the results are not good for anyone, not even for Israel, which someday must cut the umbilical cord that ties it to the U.S.
Third, the U.S.A. should as quickly as possible adopt clear, simple, and fair immigration procedures that recognise the value of immigrants to the U.S.A. and that recognise that the U.S.A. is still the most desirable destination in the world. If we are serious about exporting the American Dream, we can start by importing people who already dream it and now want to achieve it. As it is, our policies are too often self-contrdictory, almost always arbitrary, many-times cruel, and generally do nothing to improve the reputation of the U.S.A. around the world.

Hillary ! Welcome to state department. Wish you the best and hope you will help forge better relations amongs nations around the world.
I hope you will tackle pakistan as one of the major threats to its neighbours, and the major breeding ground for terrorists. Please DO NOT put any stock on ISI. They created Taliban and they have been on a mission of hatred to destabilise both India and Afganisthan. Please examine the close nexus on ISI and chinese interests. Please make this among your top priority along with trying to bring some sort of peace to palestine and israel. Appeasing or legitimizing hamaz or hezbollah is not going to do it for sure..

I'm a 17 year old high school student who has been working as an abolitionist since I was 12. I believe it is time to end our toleration of the sale of human beings. The abolition of modern day slavery must be a priority of the Department of State and every branch of the U.S. government. It should be considered as we evaluate our trade partners, designate funds for local community initiatives and it should be a priority for U.S. based corporations. Hundreds of thousands of students around the world have joined me in the fight against slavery through Loose Change to Loosen Chains and we have raised more than a half a million dollars to prevent slavery, rescue the enslaved and help them begin their new lives. I hope the Obama Administration will join us in the fight.
I have also launched an effort called Generation Change to help other students scale up their efforts to improve the world. This includes mobilizing students to fight malaria, bring fresh water to Africa, increase the literacy rate in America, help the homeless and sick in our communities and fight for the rights of women and children around the globe. We are the someone and today is the day!

colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion,

equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this
Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination."

1. Over a decade of engagement has not resulted in better relations with, or a less dangerous North Korea. The new Administration should push for the collapse of the North Korean Government or at the very least stop talking with them. No good can come from negotiations with these thugs. Not during Bush's term. Not during Clinton's either.
2. The U.S. should formally recognize Taiwan.
3. Stop giving Russia about $1 billion in aid each year.
4. Stop stepping in to aid every nation's population. That is their own Government's responsibility. If the government fail in this responsibility (like Zimbabwe) then their leaders should be pursued in the International courts or other...
Thomas in Tennessee writes:
In addition to replacing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with peace, the top objectives of the Obama Administration should be:
* Working to create a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine.
* Working to create a lasting peace between India and Pakistan regarding Kashmir.
* Working to resolve the continuing crisis in Darfur.
* Supporting and strengthening democratic institutions in Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe as an alternative to pre-emptive war.

As a proud Tibetan American I welcome Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I believe there is an opportunity for the Obama Administration to show to the American people and the international community that the United States can play its rightful role as the leader of the world, with dignity and respect.
In terms of foreign policy priorities, I would hope that we will strongly support H.H. the Dalai Lama's initiative for a peaceful resolution of the Tibetan problem. Tibet is my country of origin and I care about its fate. I know that Secretary Clinton cares about Tibet, too. We need to see more concerted effort from the United States. I am glad that the Obama Administration "will work to ensure that China plays by international rules." We need to see that in action on Tibet.
I wish Secretary Clinton all success.
Miranda in Illinois writes:
A brief note--my area of study is the Middle East, so my suggestions will be biased toward that area. Iraq policy seems to be already on a path, and I don't know enough about Afghanistan to discuss it, so those obvious issues will be set aside.
The obvious one is Israel-Palestine. Beyond resolution of the conflict itself, as many have noted, the international perception that Israel is the tail wagging the U.S.'s dog has only grown in recent years; this can be alleviated both by a shift in American policy toward Israel (away from such blatant partisanship and more toward a mediating role) and by a new American willingness to engage--cautiously--with Israel's enemies.
The recent abdication (relatively speaking) of American hegemony in the region has begun to give rise to new, local mediators in the form of Turkey and Qatar. This should be encouraged, and the State department should coordinate with these countries where appropriate and beneficial. If the desire really is to have a functioning, self-ruling Middle East, rather than a continuation of colonial dependencies and resource-driven U.S. authority, then countries in the region will have to be capable of autonomous resolution of international disputes. Furthermore, issues such as Israel's continued occupation of the Golan Heights may be more easily resolved through a regional mediator like Turkey than through the U.S., with its baggage on the subject and loaded relationships with both countries.
On a general, philosophical level, the State Department must work to move away from the "clash of civilizations" perspective that has often dominated American conversations about the GWOT and the Arab World.
Stepping outside the regional focus, the State Dept. should do what it can to encourage the emergence of similar leaders in Africa. This phenomenon sort of exists (South Africa), but these countries are so embattled in their own development struggles that it is difficult for them to look far outside their borders. It may be (I have neither the data nor the econometric skills to prove this, but Paul Collier probably would have something to say about it) that investing in countries that are closer to the brink of prosperity, in the hopes that they can begin to spread progress or at least intervene in tragedy around their neighborhood, proves to be the highest-yield investment.
Finally, human trafficking is an under-discussed and ignored phenomenon around the world. I would speculate (in fact, I am speculating) that many of the loopholes that make this practice possible are potentially very convenient for terrorists and arms smugglers, and that attention to the issue could be beneficial from a human rights perspective, a defense perspective, and a development perspective.
Good luck!
Ursula in Washington writes:
The comments already made on this topic reflect the wide range of daunting foreign policy and national security challenges that the Obama administration will need to tackle. To meet them, they will need to marshal substantial resources, and one of the most powerful is international education. It is through international education that we can establish a lasting foundation for dialogue and partnership with the rest of the world and create the conditions for lasting global peace, security, and well-being. As the Obama administration charts the challenging course of restoring America?s global reputation and extending a hand of partnership around the world, it should act decisively to elevate international education and exchange as a priority. There are a few key ways to do this: by ensuring that more Americans have an opportunity to study abroad -- deepening our cross-cultural awareness, foreign-language ability and international skills is an imperative in dealing with today's global problems; by restoring America's welcome to foreign students and scholars from around the world ? these are the next generation of foreign leaders, teachers, and innovators; and by strengthening international exchange and volunteer-service programs like the Peace Corps.

Issue 1. Palestinean State. Without a state there will be no peace between Israel and the Palestineans. Without this peace, there will be instability throughout the middle east. The entire public of the Arab and Persian worlds are tied into this issue. Solve the issue and there is no other central issue to consolidate middle eastern support against the U.S. The flow of oil is essential to the health of the global economy which we are a part of......Israel drains funding from us, produces nothing we require. If they are hindering the process...drop them from the friends and allies list....
2. Solve the Iranian-Nuclear issue. With the Palestinean issue unresolved and Israel suggesting they have WMD with the means and doctrine to use it....that instability within the security environment of the middle east. There is no counterbalance to Israel's power. Not sure how to end this issue...Israel destroys their WMD, allow another nation-state to counterbalance Israel, or we extend our nuclear umbrella to protect middle eastern nations if Israel were to initiate hostilities with WMD. From a security perspective of a have - not...the situation is not acceptable.
3. Keep North Korea in the box. Follow the path the U.S. has followed through numeerous administrations (regardless of party) until they implode or agree to become part of South Korea. Work the issue so it is a soft implode with preparations for global humanitarian support.
Julie in Illinois writes:
In light of the recent incursion into Gaza, and the huge loss of life of the Palestinians, not to mention Amnesty Internationale's confirmation of the use of white phosphorous bombs in densely populated civilian areas, I suggest the following steps be taken to assist in establishing a lasting peace in Israel/Palestine.
1. Insist the blockade be lifted to allow humanitarian aid and items intrinsic to economic survival into Palestine immediately
2. Immediately halt the building of all settlements and begin the dismantling of all "outposts"
3. Immediately investigate whether the using of phosphorous bombs in civilian areas is a violation of the Arms Export Control Act and punish accordingly if it is.
4. Immediately work to engage Hamas and Fatah and get them on the same page - without both entities, there will never be peace
5. Immediately get assurances from both Hamas and Fatah that any violations of the ceasefire by militants on either side will result in arrests and trial in accordance with the Palestinian Constitution not tribal law
6. Freeze all aid and arms shipments to Israel until significant progress has been made towards the first two points
7. Engage the international community to provide security for the checkpoints and remove all access requests from Israeli control
8. Put the international community in charge of determining what aid gets into Gaza. It should not be an Israeli decision as they state they are no longer "occupying" the country.
9. Send Americans into Gaza to determine what aid we could provide to rebuild their country and help their people. I would suggest evaluating the role wind and solar power could play in the rebuilding process, so they are no longer completely dependent on fuel and electricity from Israel
10. Engage the Palestinian and Israeli business communities as they have the most at stake and are the best able to assist in rebuilding decisions
Also, the United States should immediately sign and ratify the Landmine Treaty and the Cluster Bomb Treaty and insist that Israel, our ally, do the same.
These are simple and fair steps to take to ensure that we are seen as honest brokers of peace. Blindly backing Israel, no matter what tey do, is never going to result in peace for them or a settling of the Palestinian issue.
It will also be a boon for our national security as our blind backing of Israel, a nuclear power that refuses to admit it has nuclear weapons, is seem by terror groups as a justification for their actions and is used as a recruiting tool.
I certainly hope we see a change in our policy towards Israel. Their actions have caused us most of the problems we have in the Middle East.
As for talking to terrorists, I think we discovered in Northern Ireland that without the UDP and th IRA on board, what peace there is would never have been achieved.
Learn a lesson from history. No war has ever ended without ALL parties involved in the peace.

The Obama administration should prioritize a resolution to the Tibet issue.
Tibetans have the right to self-determination, in accordance with UN resolutions and international law.
The U.S. should support Tibetans in their quest for freedom and human rights because (i) it is the right thing to do, (ii) it advances U.S. goals and ideals, and (iii) it sends a message to other disaffected groups that nonviolence can resolve difficult problems.

Tenzin in Washington writes:
In the light of recent repression in Tibet which killed many Tibetans and thousand went missing,
1. release all the Tibetan political prisoner.
2. Since Tibetan are not seeking independence, China must be pressed to give the geniune autonomy to practice their religion freely and protect their cultural heritage.
3. Release the Panchen Lama and tulku Tenzin delek.
4. Stop all the illegal mining and deforestation in Tibet
5. Remove all the police post from Tibetan monasteries.
6. stop forcing Tibetan manks to reeducation.
7. urge Chinese government to invite Dalai lama to Tibet and China as soon as possible.
lastly, regulate and thoroughly inspect all the products (made in China) that are coming to U.S. to avoid all those painful recent memories.
Chand in New York writes:
The Obama Administration should make Human Rights in China a top priority. China is the biggest country in the world and how can we ethically and morally deal with them if they cannot treat their own citizens humanely? And most importantly, the Administration should make Tibet the top priority in this China dialogue. Tibetans have been brutally tortured and repressed for 50 years now and as the worlds leader, President Obama should not allow this to be taking place.
Jim in Virginia writes:
The new adminsitration should seize the opportunity offered by this transition of power to reestablish our leadership position in the world. To do this, the administration should seek to reopen civil dialogues with our many multi-national partners and the various international organizations that exist. This approach will require an increase in both personnel and funding authorizations for the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Clearly there are significant challenges in every region of the world. While all are important, the administration cannot be driven to knee-jerk responses based upon video clips on the evening news. Rather, they should conduct a thorough review of vital U.S. interests and objectives, develop priorities and allocate resources. As has been demonstrated over the past 8 years, we cannot solve all of the world's problems on our own.
In summary, rebuild our shattered alliances and relations, enhance our diplomatic arms and conduct a sober assessment of where we can make a difference, then allocate the resources to address these situations.
Rajesh in Washington, DC writes:
I appeal to Obama administration to look far into the future and not to be overwhelmed by immediate problems. Recognize the dangers of Rising China. China's communist government poses the GREATEST threat to the supremacy of American powers. Chinese people are being kept in the dark and just take the example of censorship of President Obama's inaugural speech. China's leaders provide only selective information to the Chinese public. This is dangerous. As and when they want, they feed the people wrong information and raise their ugly nationalist feelings. Taming of China should be LONG term policy. It is bad for more than one billion chinese people and rest of the world. Monitoring Chinese agents in the country is very important.
Good luck to new administration.
Karma Z. in Virginia writes:
Among the top piorities for the new Secretary of Sate, Hillary, which might get brushed aside, but which should not be ignored is the question of Tibet under China. If real peace has any chance, it must begin from the roof of the world, Tibet, which has suffered so much under the tyranny of Communism. If President Obama is truly committed to peace and freedom in the world, he must turn a new page in Sino-U.S.A. relations, and challange Hu Jintao to sit and talk with the Dalai Lama.
America, the world is looking at you, but I want the president to take China to task on Tibet..... Mr. President open a U.S. consulate in Lhasa..... Ask the Dalai Lama what he really really want, and whether what he has been advocating is what the people of want...... This naturalized Tibetan-American is ready to serve your administration in any capacity..... All you have to do is let me know.
Best of luck.
Dean in Illinois writes:
I think that Mrs. Clinton should work to re-establish the aura of the American. When I last traveled in Germany (after living there for several years) I was appaled that the people there had a exceptionally bad image of the american policies and of the Bush Administration. they remained in love with the americans as people but our impage had been terribly tarnished. I'd go out of my way to help in this if needed. It is the reason that we can no longer work economically or socially as well with our frienly nations as in the past.

Advice on backcountry trip
My wife has talked me into going on a Disney cruise with the family in late October. However, I'm going to look into a BC trip as a counteraction. What do I need to take as far as fishing stuff, camping, etc.? I have camped before so I am prepared to travel light if necessary. Best time- before the cruise or after? Might need both! I'm retired so mid-week for a couple of days is OK. Thanks for the advice. If anyone would care to join, the company is welcome.
I am sure you have came to the right spot for your question. You should get a big variation of answer as this seem to be something that every back country camper I know is always changing and modifing what they bring.
for me and the people I have talked with their seems to be two main approaches that you can work with. The example I will give or at least me and my friends have fun with I will call:
1. The Boy Scott Approach - Be prepared for anything, and in my mind that ends up meaning bring everything you can imagine and stuff in your pack. This approach usually is better if you are just hiking into a back country camp and staying in one place the your entire trip. The more I bring the more I seem to like camping,
2. Second approach and the one that i did not start with but recently moved to is watch your weight on every item you bring. I like to call this approach "A country Boy can Survive". You will be suprised how much information is available on the internet and books about light weight back packing and to me has really been fun seeing how far you can take it. I less weight I cary the more I like hiking.
I started doing 6 day 5 night back country camping trips with everything needed for camping and fly fishing weighing in anywhere around 50 to 55 lbs.
Today I can do the same trip for 6 day and 5 night again with everything needed for camping and Fly fishing at 35 lbs. Now let me tell you 15 to 20 pounds might not sound like much but you will find that it is all the difference in the world.
One thing i found over the years as you dont need much planning when your pack weights in at 50 or 55 pounds but if you want it to come in at 35 you will end up creating a spreadsheet with every item and its weight. I would be glad to send you the spreadsheet I use if you are interested. Just email me at william.mclemore (at) ngc .com.
I am sure you will find others that have their own packing lists and you might find it interesting to compare different lists.
You would not image how much time and fun I have spent with this exact challenge of what to bring, how hard and far is the trip.
Good Luck
Something to think about, the more likely you are to camp in variable weather Oct Nov, the more likely you are to need clothing ranges which means more stuff. When I used to camp in scouts I liked the dead in the middle of the season type trip which meant you knew what the condition were going to be
I'll second what streamhound said...I'd recommend doing the trip before your cruise since the weather should be more stable in mid October as compared to early November...
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19
The Trout Zone Blog
Trout Zone Anglers Guided Fly Fishing
contact: TroutZoneAnglers at gmail dot com
Knothead--I increasingly lean toward the minimalist side as I age--don't like the heavy backpacks. On the fishing side, a pack rod outfit and a basic selection of flies, along with tippet material and a couple of spare leaders are all you need.
Equipment wise the "musts," to me, are: tent, sleeping bag, inflatable pad, ground cloth, cooking stove, lightweight cooking kit, first-aid kit, food, water filter, change of clothing, and personal stuff. You can, with some planning, get all of this into a bacpack and come in right around 40 pounds. Nice extras are a saw or hatchet, lantern, and perhaps a lightweight seat. For many years I've worked off a list, and I recommend that approach to anyone who backpacks much. You can revise, add, delete, or otherwise change as you see fit.
As for October fishing, I rate the month second only to May in the Smokies.
Jim Casada
i gotta agree, but i take about 12 pairs of socks....some how they get wet
I started with nothing, and I have most of it left.
I concur with working from a list and being weight conscious.
I keep a master list which I create a copy of before each trip and whittle down to just the items for that specific trip. Weather, distance, terrain and reason for trip will dictate what I pack.
There are two basic approaches for reducing weight-- bring the lightest weight widgets you can (less weight usually equals more money) and reduce the number of widgets you bring. The second approach probably packs the most bang for the buck (with the exception of things like the tent). While you're camping, pay close attention to all the things you never touch, as well as the things you wish you did bring. The things you don't use will come to the forefront as you hike uphill.
Be sure that your clothing, tent and sleeping bag will keep you warm and dry. Cotton gets a bad rap because it is a poor insulator when wet. But you don't have to spend tons of money on new fleece, just make sure you have something that will keep your cotton clothes dry-- both on you and in the pack. I probably used a Hefty garbage bag as a poncho for several years.
With regards to Jim's "must haves", I wholeheartedly agree that an inflatable ground pad/chair kit combo is worth the weight. Some people swear by water filters, while others use tablets or drops. I love the filter; but it is one of the first things weeded off my list if weight and room are an issue. The stove-- will you want it to simmer, or just boil water? What kind of cookware will you need? Sometimes I just use the coffee pot to boil water. I would say a flashlight is a must have. I like a headlight-- it's hands free. I have also been converted to taking two hiking poles on my trips. In a pinch, I got a cheap pair from Wal-Mart and have been surprised at how well they have held up.
Your equipment list will vary and evolve; and I always enjoy seeing what "systems" others use as well as what "must have" items they bring. A naive and gung ho hiking partner is always a plus. "I'll bring the cotton balls for firestarter and you bring the hatchet. I'll pack a lemon and you bring the skillet."
You shouldn't need much fishing gear-- just what Jim said. Once you have nailed down the dates and destination, I'm sure many on here can give some fly advice.
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without realizing it is not fish they are after." -- Henry David Thoreau
Many thanks for the advice. I'll start a list of things and review it to tweak it before making a final decision. Just think, the oldtimers used to take a knife, bag of salt and a can of lard. Don't forget the Winchester!
Mid-October sounds good although one of the best night's sleep was during a deer hunt many years ago.
I am planning a mid-October back country trip myself. In my planning phase now; figuring out which camp sites to ignore due to horses allowed. Jim made a great point in his book about 1/2 the desirable sites being ruined by 10% of the visitors (bad paraphrasing here). I ruled out 35 (H) sites and have 19 left as possible destinations.
I used the current chart on this page http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisi...ntry%20Map.pdf to rule out the undesirables.
I am taking my brother-in-law on his first back country camping trip and will be introducing him to fly fishing while there. From over the years I have accumulated enough spare equipment that he only needs to supply his own clothing. I advised him to bring nylon, wool, polyester, or silk clothing only. I really suffered during a late spring cold spell in damp cotton pants when I first started backpacking and don't want him to have the same experience.
To read up on the streams, if you don't have Jim's book, get it. I have Lawrence and Kirk also, but use them a lot less now. For more information on the trails; if you can find Kenneth Wise's book, it is excellent. Otherwise the "brown book" by the historical society is great to read up on the trails.
Mattblick--thanks for the kind words about my book. As for Ken Wise's work on hiking in the Park, it is unquestionably in a class by itself. While now out of print and expensive, the good news is that he's well along on an updated version.

Someone with a dissociative disorder escapes reality in ways that are involuntary and unhealthy. The person with a dissociative disorder experiences a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity.
The symptoms of dissociative disorders — ranging from amnesia to alternate identities — depend in part on the type you have. Symptoms usually develop as a reaction to trauma and help keep difficult memories at bay. Times of stress can temporarily worsen symptoms, making them more obvious. Dissociative disorders cause problems with functioning in everyday life.
Treatment for dissociative disorders may include talk therapy (psychotherapy) and medication. Although treating dissociative disorders can be difficult, many people learn new ways of coping and lead healthy, productive lives.

I watched an episode of Lidia's Italy over the weekend about making pizza (episode 24), and although the recipe was more of an emergency dough, I was very intrigued by her use of the Kitchen Aid.She used a regular C hook at a very high speed. That dough was nearly flying out of the bowl, but never did. This method seemed to develop the gluten really well, which was proven when she stretcted the skin. I gave it a shot this weekend making a same-day dough for a calzone, and i'll be darned if it didnt work pretty well. Anyone have a link to the episode? This may be a better alternative to people like me whose KA cannot take a spiral hook.
I watched an episode of Lidia's Italy over the weekend about making pizza (episode 24), was more of an
Believe me JD, that was a fluke cause Lydia don't know noth'in bout no pizza! But I think I am secretely in love with that "ol gal.
It may be a fluke... but I'm floundering for a reason why I shouldn't keep doing it this way!I'll be here a while, thanks.
I would stay close to the mixer in case it jams cause I have seen those mixers fry very quickly if you get a snag.
Did it again today, but with a same-day bread. I'm not a bread maker, but it turned out pretty well. Lots of gluten, not a lot of effort.
My process is to just mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon,until it forms a rough loaf and it holds it shape..sort of.I cover with a damp towel, and walk away for 20 or 30 minutes.I do some stretch and folds, and I'm done.I believe that time and resting allows the saturation we are seeking.I do a neapolitan dough, and I've run from 60 to 68 % hydration, but generally 64-65 %.Perry

What our customers are saying:
"Thanks for your great Missing Link hip joint and skin product. Aydin, my 5 year old Papillon American Eskimo dog loves the flavor and has stopped limping thanks to your product (and everyone compliments his lovely black and white fur."
-Joan and Aydin
"I want to personally thank you for your product The Missing Link Skin and Coat for my dog Max. He's an 11 year old Springer Spaniel who was having many health issues with his skin, digestion, and energy levels. After getting him on your product within a few weeks he's returned to his high energy self and his flaky skin has been reduced greatly. I was fearful that with his age, his condition would get worse and I'd lose my best friend. But now he's his old playful self and chasing after the deer out of the garden and the squirrels up the tree. Many thanks and we are customers for life."
-Jerry W. - Web
"I just wanted to thank you for your product. Our seven year old German Shepherd now sheds only for a couple of weeks in the summer, when she used to shed constantly. Her coat used to be rough and dull. Now it is very soft and shiny, in fact it was noticeably softer in just one week! She loves the taste of Missing Link® and won't eat her food unless the Missing Link® is in it."
-Peter R. -
"Several months ago, I started using your product The Missing Link® with glucosamine for my dog who suffers from severe arthritis. She was having great problems using her back legs to help her get up. Although her problem is too severe to stop using medication, I have seen a big difference in her since we started using your product. Heidi seems almost like a different dog! Her energy level is good, she is quite active, and she seems to be able to get up and down much easier. Her overall spirit seems much happier, too. I attribute it to The Missing Link®. Thanks for a great product. I plan on using the Missing Link® for the rest of her life."

Paul Jenkins came to prominence in the 1950s as a member of the Abstract Expressionist movement. He was born in Kansas City in 1923 and studied at the Kansas City Art Institute before enlisting in the Naval Air Corps during World War II. After the war he moved to New York, where he studied at the Art Students League. Jenkins's paintings are concerned with the application of colour.
He perfected the process of pouring paint to achieve the luminous fields of colour that characterise his paintings. Emissary, an etching and aquatint created in 1980 at Tyler Graphics Ltd, is a work typical of Jenkins.

Hey all. A question popped into my mind today. Keep in view that I am aiming for my own Pizza place (nothing overly fancy or expensive - just great fresh pizza as apposed to "Pizza Hut") and I am just wondering if anyone has had experience with this or can solve my puzzle for me:For a place I described above, is it better to open up in the inner city? (possibly higher potential volume of customers but contending with other pizza places and the generic conglomerates) or outer suburbs? (potentially less customers but not in conglomerate range and only minor contenders that I know I could beat)Any advice or comments welcome.

I recently got the mono boxset and have been listening to it in chronological order. I'm trying to listen to it when I get a chance to sit down and properly enjoy the music so I haven't got that far.
Yesterday I sat down and put Help! on. Great album and the new mix sounds superb (as they all do). However when I got up to take the CD out after Dizzy Miss Lizzy I was surprised to hear Help starting again. I was even more surprised when I realised that my copy has the album on it twice!
Double the amount of tracks, double the length, it just repeats the album. Does anybody else have a copy like this? I'm wondering if it a widespread glitch or something rare?

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
The RUCD HeadStart program recently held a ribbon cutting to open their new facility. It is located at 675 North 400 East in Huntington. Michelle Cornett, the on-site coordinator cut the ribbon to officially open the new facility.
HeadStart and Early HeadStart are comprehensive child development programs that serve children from birth to age 5, pregnant women, and their families. They are child-focused programs and have the overall goal of increasing the school readiness of young children in low-income families.
In 1964, the Federal Government asked a panel of child development experts to draw up a program to help communities meet the needs of disadvantaged preschool children. The panel report became the blueprint for Project HeadStart.
Project HeadStart, launched as an eight-week summer program by the Office of Economic Opportunity in 1965, was designed to help break the cycle of poverty by providing preschool children of low-income families with a comprehensive program to meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs. Recruiting children age three to school entry age, HeadStart was enthusiastically received by education, child development specialists, community leaders, and parents across the nation. HeadStart serves children and their families each year in urban and rural areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Territories, including many American Indians and migrant children.
In 1969, HeadStart was transferred from the Office of Economic Opportunity to the Office of Child Development in the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and has now become a program within the Administration on Children, Youth and Families in the Department of Health and Human Services. A well-established, though still an innovative program, HeadStart has had a strong impact on communities and early childhood program across the country.
The program is locally administered by community-based non-profit organizations and school systems. Grants are awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Regional offices, except for the American Indian and Migrant programs, which are administered in Washington, D.C.
Emery County Commissioners Ira Hatch and Drew Sitterud were among the dignitaries present for the grand opening. Also present were: Sharon Earl, Linda Jewkes, Kent Wilson, Mike Hurdsman, Lynnette Mitchell who is the director of the HeadStart Program, staff members, Emily Olson, Michael Flemett, Crystal Burnside, Corina Shelton, Laura Madrigal, Don Fancy and Merilyn Nielson.
HeadStart is still enrolling students for two class sessions each day. For more information call Michelle at 687-5301.

The Pendleton "POWER" flour is design for a thicker "Chicago Style" deep dish pizza. (Perhaps the word Texture is a better way to say it) If you look closer at photo of my single piece of pizza, you can see that the dough is sort of flat and has no bubbled up spots. Some people do not like the dough this way. But i like that this dough can be cooked in a greased or oiled up Pizza Pan and then a little time on the oven rack.The Pendleton MONDAKO flour (named because the wheat is from both Montana and South Dakota) is designed for a lighter crust. What I mean by that is: The pizza crust has that sort of bubbled up look and texture to it. However, you can not cook this kind of flour in a pizza pan. It has to be cooked in an actual pizza oven or pizza stone. (at least that has been my experience) But 60 percent or higher of the pizza shops that I visited, use MONDAKO flour because they like that lighter texture, and they have commercial pizza ovens, and are not making deep dish pizza.I have seen photos on here of the lighter, bubbled up crust, but do not remember where? Perhaps someone who knows this website better than me, would be kind enough to post the link of those photos here. I also welcome, if anyone else can explain the flour issue. I am not sure that I give the best description or explanation about this. (THANK YOU IN ADVANCE)Finally, I now have a pizza stone to try, so I can use all the MONDAKO flour that I bought. I will let you know how it goes.
I do notice that the POWER flour does not get bubbled up or make light style crust, and that it is easier to bake in a pizza pan.
Maybe it is the way people out here make the dough, but this is what I am told by pizzeria owners and my personal experience, the Pendleton "POWER" flour does not give that lighter / bubbled up crust effect like the PF MONDAKO flour does.
Hi Mike.I had some cold rise dough left in the refrigerator, which gave it three days to do it's thing. I took your advice and tried the make THIN crust pizza with POWER flour. This was not a pre-mix power flour either. I rolled it out very thin and placed it right onto the oven rack without a pan at 475 degrees. Very light on the cheese this time too. It turned out pretty good. Take a look at the photo. (I cut the pizza in half before I thought about taking a picture) Thanks again for the advice.TOMPSMy wife and kids liked it and that's all that really matters! LOL

Microbiology and the Food Chain
MICA division carries out fundamental and applied microbiological research that aims to understand the functioning of micro-organisms and microbial ecosystems so that they can be better exploited, mastered or controlled.
The Division contains most of the microbiologists working for INRA who are based in 22 research units spread throughout the country, 14 of them being associated with other institutions (engineering schools, universities, CNRS, INSERM, Institut Pasteur, etc.).
The Division employs 335 full-tenure INRA staff, 191 of whom are scientists (researchers and engineers) and 144 are technicians. Its research teams also include some 100 external staff (teacher-researchers, research scientists and engineers from other institutions) and 200 young scientists (doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows), making a total of around 635 people.

Local support for NRG still sought
The decision has yet to be made on the future of the NRG Energy repowering proposal for its Dunkirk site. The state's Public Service Commission is still reviewing all the information it has received from NRG, National Grid and other groups and individuals who have weighed in on the matter.
On Tuesday, Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards continued the support effort, sending out an updated Monday Morning Memo asking area residents to continue to contact the PSC, urging the PSC to pick the repowering plan proposed by NRG. Edwards said it was imperative to let state officials know how critical the repowering project is to the area's future.
"The PSC will be making a decision in the near future on whether repowering the NRG Dunkirk plant will be allowed. I urge you to write individual letters as soon as possible to Governor Cuomo and to the PSC Chairman Garry Brown," Edwards stated in his memo. "Your letters should make it clear to the governor and the PSC that our communities are very supportive of the Dunkirk power plant upgrades and want to have a repowered plant in the community. They also should indicate that you think the PSC analysis should take into consideration a broader economic benefits analysis as a significant factor in its final determination."
Addresses are:
Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, New York State Executive Chamber NYS Capitol, Albany, New York 12224.
Chairman Garry A. Brown and Acting Secretary Jeffrey Cohen, NYS Public Service Commission Agency Bldg. 3, Empire State Plaza Albany, NY 12223.
Refer to case number 12-E-0577.
Public comments and letters may also be submitted to the PSC online by going to documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Comments/PublicComments.aspx?MatterCaseNo=12-E-0577.
Edwards included a list of beneficial aspects of repowering Dunkirk, which are available at www.powerupwny.org.
"Please add any pertinent information as to how the loss of the plant would affect you and how the newly repowered plant would benefit you and the community," Edwards stated. "Please do not hesitate to contact me directly should you have any questions. Thank you for your help in following up on this request."

Coolinary Cafe is among those rare restaurants that transcends it surroundings, encouraging the rest of the community to catch up. Helmed by Tim Lipman, quite possibly a cooking messiah, Coolinary is a small (an understatement, at 45 seats) culinary hotspot in Jupiter, the newest shining star of northern Palm Beach County eateries.
A bastion of gourmand activity, Coolinary could easily hold its own in the food-forward towns of New York, San Francisco or Miami; Delray Beach and West Palm would be a stretch for the flavors Lipman is merging and creating. But in the tiny community of Abacoa, Lipman has found an audience—a willing and adventurous one at that—that has rallied behind this respite of culinary excellence, where flavors determine what's on the menu.
"People here like to eat good food. They like to go outside the box," Lipman says. "I want to be able to appeal to everybody. But I also want to open people's eyes, help them understand that it's not just meat and potatoes. There are so many other ingredients out there, so many different flavors out there in the world."
This willingness to experiment is what makes Coolinary so different. Things change based on seasons, whims and availability. The menu consists of a specials board, which changes twice—daily. As for the mainstay menu, dishes may stay in print, but their make-up changes, a lot. The housemade sausage, a consummate starter, changes nearly daily—on a recent visit, alligator and pork made for one of the best flavor combinations I never knew existed.
Lipman's cooking style puts flavors first, creating profiles that often pair ingredients that seem contradictory but somehow work. Have you ever had a jalapeno cheddar waffle? With coleslaw? And fried chicken? Sounds bizarre, but once you try it, an Eggo will seem lacking in so many ways that it's embarrassing. With no one influence, Coolinary's dishes range from southern staples (fried chicken) to Latin flavors (the Florida-raised shrimp escabeche with yuca griddle cakes was eye-opening) to international fare (Berkshire pork shoulder with coconut curry milk might be the best thing that ever came from Colonialism), and they are constantly changing.
"There are influences everywhere. You have to be open to everything, learn from everyone, your surroundings, everywhere. In terms of cultural cooking, this really is a melting pot down here. It opened my eyes tremendously," Lipman says.
The open-kitchen restaurant is one of the hottest tables in town; even during the offseason, expect a wait, and for good reason. Coolinary's mantra is spelled out on the menu: honest, fresh, simple, refined. Calling the place farm-to-fork is appropriate (nearly all ingredients are sourced locally or regionally) but still does not sum it up. Coolinary is a dining experience, a display of flavors that is hard to explain, best tasted.
Here, Lipman spoke with palmbeachillustrated.com about food, community and flavor.
What's your cooking philosophy?
We strive to stay within our frame, which is on the menu: honest, fresh, simple and refined. In terms of honesty, we want the ingredients to speak for themselves—this is the ingredient, let it speak.
Make it as fresh as it can possibly be. We try to get as local as we can. [Lipman points to a chalkboard on the wall.] These are some of the farms we are using right now. I can call any one of those farms personally and talk to them about their operation. That's big for me. I need to know what's going on, that at any given time I can go take tour and see what is going on; be a part of it.
Simplicity—just don't overdo it. Nothing too complicated, like too many ingredients, dressings, marinades or anything like that. Try to keep it simple.
Refined, to me … we are not fine dining here. It is not what we're here for; it is not what we are about. Refined is … take our hamburger, for example. You can buy any ground beef on the planet. Ours is chuck brisket and short rib—that's refined. It's on a fresh-made Challah roll—that's refined. We make all our pickles, ketchup and mayonnaise. These are the types of things that are very simple, honest. The mayonnaise is nothing special; it's mayonnaise. The ketchup is what it is; I don't buy it, I don't open a can—we don't employ can-openers here. The pickles … they're just pickles. It's stuff like that which is so easy to do, yet the industry sells thousands of five gallon buckets of pickles.
Why the Palm Beach Gardens/Jupiter area?
When I was opening, people told me to go to Miami, Delray Beach, even West Palm. But if I could not cook for my family and friends, I would be miserable now, and I am a happy camper. This is my community. I live here and I knew the community needed something like this.
I wanted to make a place where people can come and get something fresh and different. And I want to get to know the people that come in. This is where I spend all my time. I am here every day, six days a week. I want to know the customers, be the place that people make the time for.

Tupper's Warrior Run registration opens
TUPPER LAKE – Registration for the third annual Tupperpalooza Warrior Run began Sunday, and the event is shaping up to be a ramped-up version of its predecessor.
The 3.5-mile run has become a staple in Tupper Lake's summer activity line-up, drawing hundreds of competitors to the Big Tupper Ski Area. The registration date marks the beginning of a six-month countdown leading up to the race, which will take place July 19.
Aside from the usual Warrior Run fare of mud, obstacles and mountain terrain, this year's event will include a music festival featuring Albany jam band Formula 5 and five-piece Ithaca rock band The Blind Spots.
"We have a good start with the first two years, but one thing we realized last year was that when the event was over, everyone kind of cleared out, and it finished kind of early," said Tupper Lake Chamber of Comerce President Adam Boudreau. "It's a beautiful spot, so why not enjoy the afternoon up there? That's what we want for this year – trying to keep it going, get that party atmosphere ratcheted up a little bit and also attract some spectators and patrons other than the participants themselves to enjoy the beautiful scenery, some beer and some good music."
The music will begin with a yet-to-be-determined local band around 11:30 a.m., just as runners are finishing the grueling race. After a short break, the music will continue until about 5:30 p.m. Boudreau said that time might be later at future Warrior Runs if attendance is good this year.
The run will include many of the same obstacles as last year, but Boudreau warned that a couple of new obstacles will have more of an edge – a sharp, barbed wire edge.
"We want to do a Juno Beach barbed wire crawl," Boudreau said. "We'll have some barbed wire set up, maybe 18 or 24 inches off the ground, and force participants to get down and dirty in the mud to make their way through."
Boudreau said there also might be a Spanish rider obstacle, which would be comprised of a 4-foot-high, tunnel-shaped frame with barbed wire crisscrossed throughout to make passage difficult.
A timber carry might also take place to test runners' upper body strength. Although the details aren't etched in wood yet, Boudreau said there will probably be different size logs for men and women, and longer, heavier logs for teams.
Runners must sign a waiver to participate, but they also have the option of skipping obstacles that seem particularly threatening.
"We obviously don't want to see anybody get hurt, but as we look out at other races across the country, a lot of them have some really crazy obstacles," Boudreau said. "We want to keep it practical for a local soccer mom who wants to go up and run it, but we also want to encourage a younger, rowdier crowd to come up and give it a shot."
Part of the push for changes in this year's Warrior Run is to attract more spectators to the event. Boudreau said he hopes to have a spectator map or board guiding attendees to various race viewing stations along the route.
"The pond is always interesting watch," Boudreau said. "It's usually about 60 degrees, and everybody freaks out when they hit the water."
The chairlift might also be running to give spectators a bird's-eye view of the mud runners in action.
"We want to make these events bigger and better every year," Boudreau said. "That's what draws the people here, and ultimately that's what keeps people staying in hotels and eating at the restaurants."
There will be an entrance fee for participants and spectators to help fund the all-day event.
Registration for individuals is $50; individuals on a team of three to 10 people pay $40 each. The price for spectators is $5 per person or $20 per car.

Lynyrd Skynyrd wows huge crowd
Today's band more than able to pull off classic hits
At this stage, it's about tradition and honor.
It would be a misnomer to call the Lynyrd Skynyrd of 2013 the same band that put Southern rock on the map in the 1970s. Due to tragedy and other factors, that's impossible.
But guitarist/songwriter Gary Rossington and six-stringer Rickey Medlocke, together with vocalist Johnny Van Zant — brother of founding member Ronnie Van Zant — and friends have kept the rebel brand not only alive, but thriving.
A capacity Southwest Motors Events Center crowd learned that first-hand Saturday, as the seven-member juggernaut tore through the classics that have served as the soundtrack to many a life.
And fueled a 40-year career.
Looking exactly like a road-worthy Southern band should — long hair, black vests and shirts, blue jeans, boots and tattoos — LS kicked off the night with 2012's slide guitar-fueled "Last of a Dyin' Breed." From there, it was straight down that Florida back road known as memory lane.
The standards followed one after the other — a testament to just how many standards this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band produced during its heyday:
The piano-heavy "They Call Me The Breeze," the playful "What's Your Name?" and the defiant "Gimme Back My Bullets" sounded as sweet as the days of black vinyl.
But the band didn't stop to catch a breath. From there, the frivolity of "Down South Jukin'" was tempered by the seriousness of "That Smell," a melodic warning against hard living. Another rocker with a serious overtone was the meaty "Saturday Night Special."
"I got one thing to say, and one thing only," offered Van Zant. "Skynyrd is in the house!"
It was the understatement of the night.
"You Got that Right" gave Medlocke a chance at the mic while the jazzy "I Know a Little" gave fans a chance to boogie right where they stood.
The first ballad of the night was a choice one, the autobiographical "Simple Man" from 1973, sent out to those in harm's way.
From that same year came the hoe-down stomp of "Mississippi Kid," a little-known but very fun LS tune, and the bittersweet ballad "Tuesday's Gone" — great enough for the mighty Metallica to cover.
Saving what are arguably the best for last, the Jacksonville-born group dealt two aces in the form of "Gimme Three Steps" and the anthemic "Sweet Home Alabama," complete with Confederate Flag wrapped around the mic stand.
Oh, wait. There was one more.
The song that perhaps best sums up Lynyrd Skynrd's spirit and career was the night's encore. The reflective ballad that morphs into a dual lead guitar frenzy, the iconic "Free Bird" was a 12-minute tribute to those who can never be tied down.
And that included the sold-out crowd, who rose to their feet en masse.
And somewhere good, you just know that Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Billy Powell, Allen Collins and the other late members of the LS family are looking down smiling.
And flying free.


text: I know this has nothing to do with football, or the Patriots. I just thought that some might have watched this as well. I don't know if anyone here watched that game last night, but A&M was royally hosed in the final minutes. For those that missed it, here is what happened: * With about 5 minutes left and Texas A&M leading by two, an A&M player had a breakaway. As he was going in for the layup (using his right hand) a Memphis player clearly hit the Aggie solidly over his left neck and shoulder with his upper right arm (while going for the ball). It was a clean foul, but it was obviously a foul. There can be no discussion about this. No foul was called. * After a barrage of last second missed Memphis shots and offensive rebounds, a chicken **** foul is called on an Aggie. It was a desperation "rebound and quick flip" by the Memphis player that never had a chance in hell of going in. In the replay, there was clearly some contact (the Aggie used his elbow too much in vying for position) but it was nothing different than about 50% of all rebounds. It gave Memphis two free throws, down one, on likely the last play possible. * After the Memphis player made the two free throws (with A&M having no TOs) the inbounding player made a mistake and tossed it to an unsuspecting teammate. The guy let the ball go by, but luckily, it was touched by a Memphis player about three feet before going out of bounds. Now, fouls are one thing, but this was the worst. I have watched games where players supposedly had time to catch a pass, set their feet and shoot the ball - all in less than a second. In some cases, less than half of a second. Considering this, how much time do tyou think should be run off if a ball that is travelling quickly towards the sideline is touched by a player three feet before hitting the ground out of bounds? .2 seconds? .4 seconds? .6 tops, right? Try 1.1 seconds. Somehow, a ball that was travelling at least 10 mph (which breaks down into ~ 15 feet per second) needed 1.1 seconds to go 3 feet. 1.1 seconds may not seem like a lot, but when there were only 3.1 seconds to begin with, that was difference between getting a clean shot off and throwing up a running prayer. I was so disgusted that I refused to watch another minute of basketball, and I don't believe that I will any time soon, either. Was I the only one that outraged?

Topic: Split a windows path?
I am trying to split a windows pathname down into the component bits but of course the bloody backslashes are calling problems. How would you split the following?
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\screenshot.jpg"
The following doesn't work and I am not sure how to escape it.
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\screenshot.jpg".split('\')
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\screenshot.jpg".split('\\')
results in
"C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopscreenshot.jpg"
Basically I am trying to get the filename. I can't use the pathname2 gem to create a windows path because I am getting errors when I try and run it from the Gem.
Can anyone quikly give me the code I should put in the split command?

I just had a luthier install the new anthem system in my custom Mark Kett 000-13 Fret and its sounds fantastic except...
I started to notice a static crackling from the 12" speaker in the Genz Benz Acoustic amp I own. I thought it was the amp and cleaned all the pots and inputs, but its still there.
I just got a Roland JC-77 and I played out on Friday and again noticed the same crackling coming from the 2-10" speakers.
I checked all the cords etc and then plugged in my Morgan Concert with the LR Baggs iMix system in and no noise. I tried another guitar, a CA with a fishman and again, no noise.
It's now quite probable that it is coming from the Anthem ( I have the adjustable version, not the SL)
Has anyone experienced this problem? Could improper installation cause this? The pickup is amazing and I would love to solve the issue so I can use it this weekend.
PS: The problem is intermittant and sporadic. It's OK and then it starts to crackle, stops, then starts and goes for a while, then stops etc.
I would appreciate any input the members may have.
