You are herecontent / 60 Years of Disaster
60 Years of Disaster
by Jim Haber, Coordinator of Nevada Desert Experience
January 27 marks 60 years since the first atomic bomb test in Nevada. Codenamed "Able" it was tiny for a nuclear weapon: the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT, about 1/15 the size of the bomb that killed upwards of 130,000 people in Hiroshima. Anniversaries are times to reflect, so what is the legacy of the Nevada Test Site (NTS), now called the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS)? What is the current state of the NNSS and what is going on there? Are the nation and world safer for all the Cold War and post-Cold War efforts? As the NNSS re-purposes itself to focus more on detecting and containing national security threats, it still stands as a world-wide symbol of the making of weapons of mass destruction. The name change is intended to reassert its relevance in the absence of exploding nuclear devices, but the inherent problem of the NTS remains. The NNSS is always able to resume testing nuclear weapons within two years should the president order it.
Testing of nuclear weapons didn't only happen at the Nevada Test Site. Historians even argue that using the bombs on Japan rather than demonstrating them on an unpopulated location constitute human experimentation. Treating victims as research subjects rather than patients was widely reported in Japan, as well as from victims of atmospheric testing in the 1950s. Targeting civilians was and remains a crime against humanity, as does threatening nuclear attack on non-nuclear states, no matter how repressive their leaders.
We, as a people, caused much worldwide grief for our part in the Cold War, which used small countries as battlegrounds with no concern for local populations or environments. Official tours of the NNSS and the displays at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas exhibit great pride in the NTS' Cold War role. There is little mention in their history about efforts to stop testing and other parts of the nuclear weapons complex. Efforts to shut down the Soviet nuclear test site in Kazakhstan or French test sites in Africa and the South Pacific garner barely a word. Only a limited view is presented.
At the NNSS which is run by the Department of Energy (blurring the lines between civilian and military in this country), military nuclear waste is buried even as remediation efforts elsewhere are undertaken. The detection and first responder trainings are only defensive in nature if we concurrently support the leadership of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in its mission to monitor nuclear programs around the world. Unilateral or bilateral agreements that ignore the mandate of the IAEA actually encourage other states to seek nuclear weapons to be seen as worthy players on the international stage.
The United States military budget is on par with military spending of all other countries combined. When the US attacks countries that don't have nuclear weapons, it makes the possession of nuclear weapons seem like a necessary deterrent. But if more countries have deterrent forces, then we've lost the disarmament fight.
Taking the land of the Western Shoshone and other native peoples to use it for nuclear testing is not just. Forcing the people of Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands to live on tiny Ebeye Island, creating one of the most densely populated places on Earth is not just. Stealing and contaminating native hunting and fishing grounds is not just.
Thank God so few countries have tested or possess nuclear weapons. The global consensus is clearly to eliminate all nuclear weapons. "Stockpile Stewardship" tests at the NNSS, along with missile tests in the Pacific are undermining the credibility of the U.S.'s agreement to seriously reduce nuclear stockpiles. Sharing nuclear technology with violators and abstainers of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty while threatening countries not in egregious, well-documented breaches of the NPT is not just and promotes horizontal proliferation. Hence, continued testing whether they're full-scale tests or not, signals to the world that the US will keep its finger on the button and will brook no new players in the nuclear game.
When we devise ways for nuclear weapons to be more precise and kill fewer civilians, to be more militarily useful, we undermine the international consensus against all weapons of mass destruction. And how many design upgrades and revisions can be implemented and still not require a real test? At some point, unless we in the United States get serious about pressuring our government to cut its nuclear weapons arsenal, the Nevada Desert will again quake with detonations...and be filled with peacemakers crashing the gates like in the 1980s to shut it down once and for all. This anniversary should serve as a time to work for peace and disarmament.

Hey kidz!!! Military disasters Past, Present . . and Future???
You may want to file this story somewhere safe . . . for future reference . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from Veterans Today)
"Utah Army post reopens after nerve agent found - DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah – The Army said Thursday that Dugway Proving Ground, where military weapons are tested, was locked down for hours because a small amount of a nerve agent was unaccounted for. The amount missing was less than one-fourth of a teaspoon of VX nerve agent, which affects the body's ability to carry messages through the nerves. The missing vial prompted a lockdown late Wednesday afternoon that lasted nearly 14 hours."
(full story)
Don't you just love that line? "A small amount of VX nerve agent" . . . ;-)
Just like that "small amount" of ANTHRAX that went missing from Fort Detrick, MD . . . that the Zionist PNAC Neo-Cons swore up and down had come from "al-CIAda" by way of Sadam Hussein . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article)
"THE 9/11 ANTHRAX FRAME-UP - An Army biological and chemical warfare facility in Utah has been quietly developing a virulent, weapons-grade formulation of anthrax spores since at least 1992, and samples of the bacteria were shipped back and forth between that facility and Fort Detrick, Md."
(full story)
Gee, now that we're getting "official" information that IRANIAN Terror Manuals are showing up in American deserts . . .
(Paging Rita Katz . . . Rita "SITE" Katz, please pick up the white courtesy phone . . . Rita Katz . . .)
. . . is it much of a stretch to project that we'll be soon hearing about IRANIAN VX nerve agents showing up in American cities . . .
(Paging Dr. Philip Zack . . . Dr. Philip "Camel Club" Zack, please pick up the white courtesy phone . . . Dr. Philip Zack . . . )
. . . like Chicago, maybe???? . . . .
(Paging Rahm Emanuel . . . Mayor Rahm "Mega Mossad" Emanuel, please pick up the white courtesy phone . . . Mayor Rahm Emanuel)
What is that old saying about the more things change the more they remain the same? Has military strategy really changed that much in the last 6000 years?
It is all about killing people, destroying things, and taking other people's stuff. . .
. . . and it is all done . . . by way of deception.
"Hear my song.
People won't you listen now? Sing along.

And it has to grow!"

I am anxious to hear from anyone with first hand knowledge of this phenomenon. There are a number of victims' rights groups set up that contact the victims and families of victims immediately (within days) of a major catastrophe, such as Flight 5191, offering "help". Some of these groups are likely legitimate and concerned. Others have a less benign purpose in mind.
Those non-benevolent groups receive considerable funding from large plaintiff attorney firms and were most likely caused to be created by those firms. The firms call this funding "charitable donations" but is actually an unethical form of fee sharing. The groups "help" to the victim or family is to refer them to their sponsor firm for representation and tell them they need to protect their rights quickly. Often, the firm is in a different state. Often these firms expect fees of 40 to 45% (excessive in my opinion) of any recovery before expenses are taken out. They then contract with a local attorney in the state of the catastrophe and give them a slice of that fee (why not cut out the middle man?).
So, if you are contacted by a victims' rights group and they quickly refer you to an attorney or firm, please ask them some questions. Ask if the firm they are referring you too is out of state, and if so, are they aware of a good in state attorney. Ask them if the firm they are referring you to regularly donates to their group and how much. Beware if they cannot or will not answer either of those queries.

"The so-called stimulus bill in 2009 gave the Western Area Power Administration authority to put $3.25 billion of tax money at risk to finance wind and solar transmission lines. And here's the ultimate warning, the measure even provides for forgiveness of the loan if the developer can't repay it. They don't even have to declare bankruptcy! My bill pulls the plug on this program before taxpayers end up holding the bag for these projects," said Subcommittee on Water and Power Chairman Tom McClintock.
"Water and Power Subcommittee Chairman McClintock's bill to repeal the Western Area Power Administration's Stimulus Act borrowing authority for renewable energy transmission is a necessary response to the recent bankruptcy of Solyndra, the now bankrupt recipient of a $535 million Stimulus loan guarantee," said Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings. "In the same way that taxpayers are now on the hook for over a half billion dollars due to the failed Solyndra loan, the WAPA borrowing authority actually envisions and allows for similar failed investments. This is a Stimulus Act experiment that needs to be halted and repealed. Billions in taxpayer dollars are at risk – at risk of a failure and bailouts. Chairman McClintock's bill would protect taxpayers and responsibly end this risky Stimulus program."
The law anticipates the potential failure of these projects by stating: "If, at the end of the useful life of a project, there is a remaining balance owed to the Treasury under this section, the balance shall be forgiven." Similar to the $535 million loan lost by the bankrupt Solyndra, WAPA's borrowing authority ignores free market economics and risks taxpayer money by picking winners and losers in the energy markets.

Anniversary Visit 2015
22 September 2015
It was another fantastic day in Sharpsburg on the 153rd anniversary of the battle. I was very glad to be there for an early morning visit. Here are some quick snaps and impressions.
I made it to the Park in time to join the 7am group – off the turnpike and through the wet grass to the Northern edge of farmer Miller's cornfield – to hear the the now-traditional readings of eyewitness accounts of the long night and early dawn of 16-17 September 1862.
Front page imagery
17 March 2014
The home page of Antietam on the Web is really just a simple table of contents decorated by a photograph taken on the battlefield. Since I did a major redesign/simplification of the site in 2010, I've used about half a dozen pictures to represent the place and the history of Antietam. Here are their stories.
Just as surely dead
8 October 2012
I'm scrubbing through unit rosters, regimental histories, and many other documents as part of the Antietam Roster Project. Most of the listings are sketchy and dry, and when I have the chance, I like to dig a little deeper for more information to flesh out the individuals who were at Antietam.
An example of how this sometimes goes, with a bit of an unexpected twist, is the case of Sergeant Arthur Hascall of the 61st New York Infantry.

Biden's gaffs have sunk his Presidential bids faster than John Kerry can flip-flop
DES MOINES – After spending time away from the first-in-the-nation caucus state, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) is back, kicking off a series of events in Iowa by raising money for House Democrats. But, Iowans still have the not-so-fond memories of the last time he was here. Biden has made it no secret that he is giving serious consideration to another bid for the White House. However, after his previous failed attempts, can he really be taken seriously?
Biden has a long history of putting his foot in his mouth and eroding his credibility. In past, he has plagiarized speeches and lied about his academic achievements. Most recently while campaigning in New Hampshire, Biden showed his true colors by insensitively saying to an Indian-American; "You cannot go into a Dunkin' Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent." (Gannett, 7/7/06).
"Sen. Biden couldn't be further from what Iowans are looking for in a President," said Republican Party of Iowa Executive Director Cullen Sheehan. "It's clear from his remarks and actions in the past that Biden does not embrace the values and beliefs of Iowans.
Sheehan continued, "I am shocked that House Democrats would choose to bring him in to raise money for them. He is not a good representative of their party and I would think that they would want to distance themselves from someone with such a shady past."
More on Biden's Credibility Problems:
In 1987, Biden "Appropriated" Speech By British Labor Leader Neil Kinnock. "Biden appropriated an inspirational speech by British Labor leader Neil Kinnock. Kinnock told of ancestors who played football after long days underground in the mines, who recited poetry and paved the way for him to become the first in his family to attend college. When he saw a tape of Kinnock in action, Biden said … , 'it was a connect. I mean, I could tell how that man felt. That's how I feel.' So he used it – changing the names but little else – at a debate last month in Iowa. But instead of crediting Kinnock, he told the audience he thought of it on the way to the debate." (John Harwood, "Biden's Way With Words Now Seems To Be A Liability," St. Petersburg Times, 9/20/87)
Biden Withdrew From 1988 Presidential Race Under Charges Of Plagiarism And Embellishment, Saying, "Exaggerated Shadow Of Those Mistakes Has Begun To Obscure The Essence Of My Candidacy And The Essence Of Joe Biden." ("Biden Bows Out Of Race, Blames His Own Mistakes," Los Angeles Times, 9/23/87)
Biden "Developed A Serious
Credibility Problem …" "Democrat Joe Biden is a compelling orator,
but he developed a serious credibility problem after questions surfaced
about plagiarism and possible falsifications of his academic record." (Rich
Hood, "Ashcroft Hindered In His Quest For The Top," The Kansas City
[MO] Star, 8/31/97)
Biden Was Also Accused
Of Plagiarism At Syracuse Law School. "Biden soon ran into trouble
at Syracuse Law. He was accused of plagiarism after lifting five pages
from a law review article for a course paper. But his pleading - 'I implore
you, don't take my honor' - convinced the dean to let him stay in school,
take the course over, and wipe the slate clean." (John Harwood, Op-Ed,
"Biden's Way With Words Now Seems To Be A Liability," St. Petersburg
Times, 9/20/87)
Biden Admitted Some Of
His Claims About Academic Achievements Were Untrue. "Sen. Joseph R.
Biden Jr., his Democratic presidential campaign battered by charges of
plagiarism in his campaign speeches and in a law school paper, admitted
yesterday that some of his boasts about his college academic achievements
were untrue, including the claim that he had finished in the top half of
his class in law school." (James R. Dickenson, "Biden: Academic Claims
'Inaccurate,'" The Washington Post, 9/22/87)

So, Iain Duncan Smith claims that "it is not worth going from the dole into work if the job pays £15,000 or less" and that people on benefits think those who take up such offers are "bloody morons" (Duncan Smith starts welfare revolution, 27 May). This from a man who proposes to simplify the benefits system. I was unemployed for two months this year, so maybe I can give him a few "simple" figures to assist him. I am 57 years old. I was entitled to £56 per week for a maximum of six months, when the "benefit" would cease, since I live with my partner. If I can "simplify" these figures for him, this amounts to £1,344 a year. I am now working as a temporary worker in the NHS on the equivalent of £13,000 per year for a 37.5-hour week. Notwithstanding this pitiable wage, I can assure you that very very few people on JSA would turn it down. Mr Duncan Smith, you are a bloody moron and should get out there and speak to claimants, not dissemble these false figures and statements. I would welcome a discussion!
Debbie Cameron
• Do people like Iain Duncan Smith never take a few seconds to do the simple arithmetic on the back of an envelope? Government figures show two and a half million unemployed and an average of half a million vacancies. Subtract one from the other and you have two million people for whom there are no jobs, no matter what efforts are made to persuade, cajole, bribe, force or litigate them into work. They are not feckless, lazy or workshy. They do not lack the nous to get off their backsides and on to their bicycles to trundle up and down the highways and byways looking for businesses screaming out for additions to their workforce. And they don't think the working population are bloody fools or morons. What they think of a work and pensions secretary who has just appeared on television proclaiming what great savings there will be in unemployment benefit – a benefit in which there can be no savings, since it was replaced by jobseeker's allowance some years ago – would be a suitable subject for tomorrow's headlines.
John Dean
• Iain Duncan Smith acknowledged that low-paid workers feel they are better off on benefits rather than in employment. Our research in Newham has confirmed this; that is why I created the Mayor's Employment Project, which guarantees that people will not be financially worse off in work.
For more than two years the scheme has been helping residents who are long-term unemployed and those living in economically inactive households.
This research-led approach complements our one-stop shop employment service – Workplace – which celebrates three years of helping residents into work this month. So far, more than 4,500 people have been assisted by advisers that provide a service tailored to the needs of local residents, including CV advice and interview techniques.
Our experience shows that incentivising people to work is successful – we hope to see this rolled out nationally.
Robin Wales
Mayor, London borough of Newham
• If Iain Duncan Smith is serious about welfare reform, he should recognise that the taxpayer currently subsidises employers who play the lowest wages – perhaps in his own ministry.
Private companies contract low-paid cleaners, caterers and care workers to public and private organisations on too-good-to-be true terms, on the face of it providing "better value" than better-paid in-house jobs. But this is a false economy: workers on hourly rates just above the minimum wage will get their low wages topped up by the state through benefits.
Any reform in this area should be coupled with a serious push for living-wage employers across the country, starting with government itself.
Cllr Theo Blackwell
Lab, London borough of Camden
• On BBC Breakfast TV yesterday, Iain Duncan Smith said: "Work actually helps free people." I'm sure I've heard a slogan a little bit like this before somewhere – around 70-odd years ago, wasn't it?

MINNEAPOLIS: What did Jason Kipnis do over the All-Star break? He got a haircut and, oh yes, he drove in the third run of the game with a double off Craig Kimbrel of the Atlanta Braves.
So it was a successful All-Star Game debut for the Indians' second baseman, who did his damage to the National League in the eighth inning, with the American League already ahead 2-0.
"It was my first time, and I didn't want to strike out or hit into a double play,'' Kipnis said. "I just wanted to put the ball in play.''
Kipnis didn't really care that Kimbrel heats the atmosphere with 98 mile-per-hour fastballs, because he was pretty sure that one was coming.
"He started me with two curveballs,'' Kipnis said. "I didn't think he'd throw me a third one.''
It was almost unthinkable that a pitcher who can generate as much velocity as Kimbrel would not show Kipnis his fastball in his first three pitches.
And fastball it was, Kipnis hitting it off the wall in left field.
After his pinch-hit double, he stayed in the game to play second and made the first play of the bottom of the eighth, throwing out Jean Segura, who slapped a ground ball to the right side.
Mariano Rivera pitched the eighth for the American League, and Kipnis was keenly aware that he did not want to ruin the inning for the prospective All-Star closer, who is planning to retire at season's end.
"I'm not lying, I didn't want the ball hit to me,'' Kipnis said. "And the first guy hits it to me.''
Kipnis also caught the last out of the game, a pop fly off the bat of Pedro Alvarez. Kipnis never thought about keeping the baseball, which eventually ended up in the hands of Rivera, who was named the game's MVP.
"It's hard not to be proud of Kipnis,'' manager Terry Francona said. "He sent me a picture of him and [Dustin] Pedroia together.''
Francona managed Pedroia at Boston.
Players from both teams chose to honor Rivera by standing in front of their dugouts between the top and bottom of the eighth inning and letting Rivera jog in from the bullpen as the only player on the field.
But Kipnis didn't know about the plan.
"I almost went out there [to my position], then somebody tugged on my jersey,'' he said. "I didn't know.
''But I thought it was pretty cool.''

Overheating Problem
Hi! I just came across this site so first let me say hello to everyone. :) I have a 1997 BMW 328i with about 197,000 miles on it and I'm having problems with it overheating. Months ago, there was an issue with the coolant level and I would have to keep filling it back up at least twice a week. Long story short; there was a hole in one of the tubes and the coolant was leaking out so I got it fixed.
Now, some months later I was driving home when I noticed the thermostat was on red so immediately I pulled over, only to find the coolant tank was still full. After finally getting it home and parking it, a few days later I got my step father to come out and help me figure out the problem. He had me start the engine and rev it until it began to overheat so that he could see what was going on and basically; the coolant was literally bubbling over and being forced OUT of the tank even with the cap sealed tightly; along with some steam.
Does that sound like a normal issue? Perhaps anything having to do with the water pump? :dunno:
Either way, I cannot drive it anywhere without it overheating in minutes.
Cooling systems have always been a major weak spot on BMWs, which is why they need to be rebuilt every 75,000 miles or so. Overheating is the leading cause of death for BMW engines, so investing a few hundred bucks now will save you *thousands* in damages down the road.
You can buy rebuild kits online, here`s a good one : http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-20...-3-series.aspx
It`s about 3 or 4 hours of labor for someone who is mechanically inclined.
Good luck !
PS: Add a coolant expansion tank to this kit, they *always* fail when you least expect it !

Blog Post
Telling you some Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 Performance
The EasyShare Max Z990 includes some significant improvements over the Z981, not the least of which is Kodak's first use of a back-illuminated CMOS sensor, which provides for better low light image quality and increased speed of operation. Kodak EasyShare Camera Charger has reduced the megapixel count to 12, from 14, which should further help the Z990's low light ability. The new camera also features improved video, full 1080p HD compared to 720pfor the previous camera. Continuous shooting speed has substantially increased as well.
New features include a "sweep" panorama mode, which enables you to create an ultra-wide panoramic image by slowly sweeping the camera, an HDR mode, which takes three shots and combines them into one image with high dynamic range, a one-touch video button and the option to simulate classic Kodak films such as Kodacolor, Kodachrome, Ektachrome, T-Max and Tri-X. Carried over from the Z981 are full manual exposure controls, RAW shooting ability, the use of optical zoom while taking movies, a super macro mode that permits bringing the camera lens to as close as 1cm to the subject, a "smart capture" mode and numerous scene modes. The Easyshare Max Z990 is certainly a feature-packed camera. The EasyShare Max Z990 makes a positive first impression. Its composite body seems well-constructed and it has a comfortable, rubberized right-hand grip. At 1.3 pounds including batteries and memory card, the camera is no lightweight, though the weight is distributed well so the camera does not get tiring to hold. The EasyShare Max has a chunky mode selector dial and various useful buttons and switches that reduce the need to access the camera's menu system Kodak Camera Charger.
The camera includes an electronic viewfinder which, while not the equivalent in size and brightness to those of the much more expensive mirror less DSLR-like cameras, is nonetheless very useful in sunny weather conditions and for stabilizing the camera by holding it against your face when shooting at the long end of the zoom. Kodak provides four NiMH rechargeable batteries and a charger. Battery life is rated at 500 shots. After two days I'm starting to get comfortable with the EasyShare Max Z990. It is easy to use and has many features I'm looking forward to exploring further. The biggest pluses so far are the camera's smoothly operating long lens and its image quality. I have had little trouble locking focus and getting a blur-free image even at the extreme long end of the zoom. Images are sharp with strong colors and little apparent distortion.
I'm also pleased to see that very few of my shots have had exposure issues. Initially I was disturbed at what appeared to be the camera's very slow shot-to-shot speed. After taking a shot, even in good lighting conditions, the LCD did not refresh for at least five seconds. I then realized that, even though the LCD had not refreshed Kodak Battery Charger, I was still able to take successive shots every one to two seconds. This is something I'm going to be examining more closely.

Linux & Math. Symbolic Toolbox for Matlab
Has anyone got the Mathematica Symbolic Toolbox for Matlab to work under
Linux? Mathlink now works fine with the examples included in the
Mathematica package, after I got some hints from Mathematica support,
which can also be found on
The problem with the interface to Matlab seems to be that Mathematica
wants the a.out-format, whereas Matlab goes ELF. Point 1. of the
web-page mentioned above indicates that the compiler needs the
"-b i486-linuxaout"-option to include the MathLink-libraries correctly.
Since for the compilation of the Symbolic Toolbox Matlab's cmex-script
is used rather than Mathematica's mcc, I defined
CFLAGS="-b i486-linuxaout" in the corresponding line of .mexrc.sh, which
sources the cmex-script. The result are compile-time error messages
math41.o(.text+0x76): undefined reference to '_mexErrMsgTxt'
math41.o(.text+0x17a7): undefined reference to '_mexAtExit'
and so forth.
If I omit the CFLAGS-option, the programme compiles fine, but when I
call up the "math"-routine from Matlab, I get messages like:
Unable to resolve symbol MLOpen
Unable to resolve symbol MLPutFunction
Unable to resolve symbol MLPutFunction
and so forth,
which are obviously due to compiling the programme into an ELF-binary.
Does anybody have a hint how to solve that problem?
Many thanks!

Police: Bride kills niece in dispute
NEW BRIGHTON (AP) — A Beaver County bride fatally shot her niece with her new husband's handgun during an argument over who would be the designated driver after their wedding party, police said.
Police said Christina George-Harvan, 30, of Conway, shot Katelyn "Kaytee" Francis, 21, of Fairmont, W.Va., around 10 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of a bar in New Brighton. Their wedding was held earlier in the day.
"We believe all three were arguing over who was going to be the designated driver," New Brighton Police Chief Charles Vanfossan told TV station WTAE.
George-Harvan is being held in the county jail without bond. No attorney was listed on court papers.
"Everybody in the bar noticed that there was something going on with the people, but nobody knew exactly what was happening," witness James Botinovich told KDKA. "The next thing you know we heard someone got shot."
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday.

10 Essential Ingredients of Thai Cooking (Page 3)
2. Curry Paste
Though you can make your own, even in Thailand most cooks buy premade curry pastes. Red and green varieties can be found at well-stocked supermarkets. Both have notes of galangal, lemongrass and coriander root. Green is flavored with fresh green chiles and red with dried red chiles.

Thai Pumpkin Soup
This Thai-inspired creamy pumpkin soup packs a ton of flavor without too much heat—unless, of course, you opt for the Fresno chile garnish.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 stalk of lemongrass, bruised
- 3 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
- One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- Kosher salt
- One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Thinly sliced Fresno chile, for garnish (optional)
How to make this recipe
In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and curry paste and cook for 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree and broth, stirring to incorporate, then season with salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice and let cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender in the pot) and puree until smooth. If needed, add additional water or broth to reach the desired consistency. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Serve warm and garnish with fresh cilantro and thinly sliced Fresno chiles.
Make Ahead
Like most soups, this one is even better made the day before. Reheat before serving.

I have to wonder why there were no convictions. How many of these ever got to trial? Were there 44
arrests with insufficient evidence to go to trial? Were there 44 arrests with insufficient evidence or with other errors by
LEO s and prosecutors to enable plea deals that included jail?
It says that in 20 cases witnesses failed to appear; suggesting ominous happenings such as threats to witnesses.
What about the other 24 cases?
The story is IMO quite incomplete and is from AP, and not even from the Phila. papers. There's got to be one heck of a lot
more to this than repeated witness tampering; and I sure hope someone who follows these stories in the Phila. papers
has more info to tell us on it.

The last 2 years myself and a few guys from work have taken a weekend and gone on an overnight canoe trip. The first year we did a section of the Conn. river from Wells River to Fairlee. It was a bit longer on the second day than we anticipated but still not too bad.
Last year we went to the green river reservoir and canoed out to a camp sight. However at the reservoir we didnt catch many fish.
Does anyone know of a good canoe trip, that isnt too long that you could do with 1 overnight, and that we could catch some decent fish. Put in and take out spots would be appreciated.
Thanks Yellodog1.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook
GBP/JPY struggled in tight range last week and more sideway trading could be seen in near term. Though, with 129.83 minor support intact, another rise remains mildly in favor. Above 131.79 will target 133.48 first. Break will resume whole rally from 117.29 and target 140.02 key resistance. Though, break of 129.83 will indicate completion of the recovery from 127.10. In that case, bias will be flipped back to the downside for 127.10 and below to extend the fall from 133.48.
In the bigger picture, with 126.54 support intact, rise from 117.29 should still be in progress. Current development is still in line with the view that choppy decline from 163.05 is finished at 116.83 already. We'd favor further rise to 140.02 key resistance level next. Decisive break there will confirm this bullish case and target 163.05 key resistance next. Nonetheless, another fall and break of 126.54 will put focus back to 116.83 low instead.
In the longer term picture, fall from 251.09 is treated as resumption of multi decade down trend. It's still a bit too early to say whether such down trend is finished yet and as long as 140.02 resistance holds, another fall would remain favor to 100 psychological level. Nonetheless, break of 140.02 will confirm bottoming and GBP/JPY could then correct the whole down trend form 251.09.

Ten Best Jobs - Wall Street Journal
In statistical and actuarial sciences and financial modelling, you collect, analyze, and model data through mathematical and computing systems.
An actuary is a qualified expert in the design and operation of insurance and pension programs, and is trained in the assessment of risk. Actuaries apply mathematical and statistical techniques to a wide range of financial problems. In Canada, an actuary is defined by law as a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.
The Fellowship designation is granted after three years of practical experience and successful completion of a set of professional examinations. Western will provide you with courses and programs that prepare you to write most of the Associateship examinations. In statistical and actuarial science, you will be encouraged to take a variety of options, including courses in business, computing, and economics.
A statistician is an expert in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data using probability models. The main focus of statisticians in the department is on computer intensive practical applications of data analysis and scientific and industrial modelling, all in conjunction with fundamental theoretical research in the statistical sciences.
Over the past two decades, new quantitative techniques have transformed the investor decision-making process and the financial industry. Today banks, insurance companies, securities and investment firms turn to technical innovation to gain the competitive advantage. Financial Modelling provides the sophisticated mathematical models used to support investment decisions, to develop and price new securities or to manage risk. Financial institutions but also energy companies, utilities and corporations with exposure to exchange rate or commodities risk are hiring quantitatively sophisticated employees.
We encourage close contact and interaction between our students and faculty. Faculty members' offices, most of our classrooms, and one of the best equipped computing labs on campus are located on the 2nd floor of the Western Science Centre (aka Paterson Building).

Highlighted by a spirited and hard-fought victory in the number-one doubles match, the Bellarmine Prep Lions swept the Stadium Tigers 5-0 at home on Sept. 18, displaying the depth of their tennis squad.
With all of the other varsity matches finished, Lions senior Chase Hassig and junior Henry Wurst completed the sweep by claiming a 7-6, 7-6 win over Stadium senior Aaron Park and freshman Callan Peterson – the Tigers' top two singles players who were playing as a duo for the first time. Hassig and Wurst capped a back-and-forth match by claiming the tiebreaker 7-5.
"We focused on staying at the net," said Wurst, who advanced to the state tournament with Hassig last spring. "We did what we did, got to the net and won our points at the net…it's good practice for district and state, because we're hoping to go farther than we did last year."
Trailing 5-4 in the second set, Wurst's solid serving and returns helped tie it at five games apiece, and the Lions' duo went up 6-5 before Peterson and Park tied it to require the tiebreak.
"Callan is an experienced freshmen coming in and Aaron's got a lot of experience and is playing really well," Hassig said. "When we made a mistake we'd just talk about it, we'd high-five and get pumped up."
Earlier in the day, Bellarmine sophomore Elliot Gardner coasted to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Stadium's Gavin Mackey in the number-one singles match, using a consistent forehand to wear down his opponent.
"I was just stepping forward, which helps me put away balls, and just concentrating and not letting him get in my head, because it's easy to lose a match like that," Gardner said.
Ted Tanner and Chris Wood beat Daniel Yun and Alex Moreno 7-5, 6-0 in number-two doubles, Sean Noronha and Brett Manke cruised 6-1, 6-1 over the Tigers' Alex Sylvanus and Anup Chamrajnagar, and the Lions' Taylor Flaherty took out Tigers' freshman Robbie Bernovich – playing his first varsity match – 6-1, 6-2 in number-two doubles.
Despite the less than ideal outcome, Stadium coach Stefan Green is excited about the future and potential of his relatively young squad.
"I'm excited for our future," said Green, noting the play of Moreno, a junior, and Peterson. "All in all, I wish the outcome was better, but it shows us we have a lot to work on…in the long run, what we're trying to do is to build the program up for the future. We're succeeding in that respect, we've got 31 kids. And the majority of these guys are freshmen."

JP Morgan's CEO to Stay
TAMPA, Fl.- It could have been a day of reckoning, but in the end, JP Morgan Chase shareholders voted to give CEO Jamie Dimon their vote of approval.
That means he can keep his $23 million pay package.
Five days after America's biggest bank lost $2 billion in a risky trade, Dimon went face to face with his shareholders at their annual meeting in Tampa on Tuesday.
Dimon took full responsibility for the costly mistake.
JP Morgan's chief investment officer, and one of the highest ranking women on wall street Ina Drew, resigned on Monday.
Her group was responsible for the $2 billion loss, betting on a complex financial transaction known as a derivative that didn't pay off.
Experts say the incident may result in tougher rules on financial institutions.
Dimon has been accused of working against tougher regulations, but said he is not opposed to better and smarter wall street rules.

During the heyday of the Beatles in the 1960s they were blamed for fostering drug use, for causing youth to abandon their morals and a host of other sundry problems, but never were they regarded as the cause of international conflict. Paul McCartney's visit to Israel has unleashed a propaganda war between Muslims and Israelis over the implication of having a Beatle in your nation. Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Ron Prosor said McCartney's visit was an historic event in human history. "When one of the most admired musicians in the world not only expresses his willingness to visit Tel Aviv, but also publicly talks about the positive things he's heard about Israel, this is an Israeli diplomatic and PR success of the first order"
McCartney was warned by several Arab sources his visit to Israel might be his last because suicide bombers would try to kill him. Somehow, one can assume real issues such as construction of illegal housing on the West Bank or the chaos in Gaza might actually be viewed by all sides to the conflict as ranking higher on the priority list of things that deserve attention.
I guess Paul McCartney should hop into his yellow submarine and scoot for safety.

A small plot near Writers' that the railways needs but the state government won't help acquire is the latest in a long line of land hurdles for the East-West Metro with Mamata Banerjee in the muddle.
If Mamata the rail minister had stonewalled the transfer of railway land to the East-West Metro project when it was the Left Front government's baby, Mamata the chief minister is seen as being reluctant to help the Congress-run railways acquire land for the proposed Mahakaran station.
"Our officials have been trying to persuade the state government to hand over land for the station but it isn't co-operating. If this hostile attitude continues, the railways won't handle the East-West project," junior rail minister Adhir Chowdhury told Metro.
The only period when the East-West project wasn't fighting the land battle on its own was when Trinamul was in charge both at Writers' and Rail Bhavan.
The Rs 4,875-crore project, covering a stretch of 14.67 km from Sector V in Salt Lake to Howrah Maidan, is stuck at three places: Duttabad, Bowbazar and BBD Bag.
The railways, to which the state government formally transferred its stake in the project last year, requires around a third of an acre near Writers' to set up the proposed Mahakaran station.
"There has been little progress so far despite several meetings with the transport department," a senior official of the Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation said.
Work on the Howrah side apparently can't resume unless the plot is finalised. "Tunnel-boring to lay tracks under the Hooghly can't be started because we don't have the final alignment of the Mahakaran station yet," the official said. "Once the boring machine is put into the shaft, there is no going back. The entire stretch has to be drilled in one shot."
The shaft's outlet on the Calcutta side needs to be aligned with the Mahakaran station, otherwise the entire design would have to be altered.
When Mamata was the rail minister and the project was with the state government, the railways had delayed handing over land for the terminals at Howrah and Sealdah by over three years. The revised deadline for the first phase of the project is August 2015, which officials said would be difficult to meet.

The Steelers must cut their roster to 53 before midnight today. But that will likely not be the opening-day roster, which is what we try to project at SteelersLounge.com throughout the offseason. With all the various Steelers who are nursing injuries that may sideline them for week 1, and Pittsburgh a strong possibility to claim a released player or two from other squads due to injuries and/or a lack of talent in the second half of the Steelersâ preseason roster at several positions, it is unlikely anyone can accurately project the squadâs 53-player opening-day roster at this point.
The NFL and NFLPA wisely just agreed upon a new rule, which allows teams to place one player on injured reserve for eight weeks. Prior to this agreement all players put on IR were lost for the entire season. Pittsburgh fans can call this the David DeCastro rule, since the rookie first-round pick from Stanford would have cost the team a roster spot even though he is not expected back return from knee surgery until after missing 8-12 games. A quirk of the rule requires that DeCastro be on the initial 53-man roster, meaning someone like Charlie Batch, Baron Batch, David Gilreath, a defensive back, or a linebacker will be cut today, but that one player is likely re-signed to the 53-man roster next week after DeCastro is officially placed on the half-season IR list.At this point it would be surprising if the Steelers do not claim a linebacker from another teamâs waiver wire in the next couple of days. Since our last projection, Pittsburgh activated injured linebackers James Harrison and Jason Worilds from the PUP list. While Harrison seems likely to play at Denver in the season-opner and Worilds a possibility , neither will partake in special teams. Worilds may not be able to do so for quite a while, since the brace he is wearing on his wrist makes tackling difficult. Reserve Stevenson Sylvester will likely not return from his MCL injury until week 2 at the earliest, but is still likely to make the 53-man roster.
With the loss of rookie third-round pick Sean Spence for the season in last nightâs meaningless fourth preseason game against the Panthers, the Steelers would be wise to carry an extra linebacker for the season opener for special teams and depth, although the game being in Mile High means kickoff coverage should be less of a concern.
Undrafted rookie free agent Adrian Robinson has clearly been among the teamâs top eight linebackers this preseason and has excellent long-term potential, but is strictly an undersized pass rusher at this point, who offers no value against the run or special teams. Thus, expect the Steelers to pick up a veteran linebacker in the next 48 hours unless they are comfortable keeping a longshot from their camp roster for a week or two just for special teams and depth at inside linebacker, with Brandon Hicks, Marshall McFadden, and Ryan Baker all showing flashes at times during preseason games.
Other Quick Thoughts:
We had DaâMon Cromartie Smith making the 53-man roster all off-season, because Ryan Clark will not play in the opener at Denver due to his Sickle Cell. Smith, however, was clearly outplayed by rookie free agent Robert Golden in the secondary this preseason.
Smith is stronger, more experienced, and probably the better special teams player. Still, we were leaning towards switching our prediction before Golden sustained a minor hamstring Thursday, which indicates he is probably ticketed for the practice squad. In fact, Pittsburgh could take a week or two to add Golden to that unit if his hamstring injury is more serious than currently assumed.
However, we had Pittsburgh only keeping four cornerbacks in all of our projections and that still seemed the likely result until No. 4 corner Curtis Brown left last nightâs game with a knee injury and did not return. No injury updates on Brown have been posted, but the Steelers would likely need to keep a fifth cornerback (Josh Victorian or Terrence Frederick) for week No. 1 if Brown is sidelined or cannot participate on any special-teams units. Frederick is the better long-term prospect, but he has been burned badly several times in the preseason, and Victorian is the better special-teams player.
Finally, even after the Steelers activated Reshard Mendenhall from the PUP list, with the possibility of his return by game No. 3, we have assumed Baron Batch would make the team as a third-down back. Mike Tomlin, however, said that starter Isaac Redman is his third-down back, Jonathan Dwyer has looked serviceable on passing downs and impressive as a primary back, and rookie speedster Chris Rainey can obviously flare out of the backfield on third down.
Mendenhall is capable of playing on third downs after his return, so why again should Batch make the team? What does he offer? Basically he is a poor manâs Mewelde Moore. That shiftiness and speed that Batch flashed last training camp appears to have been lost due to the devastating knee injury that sidelined him for all of 2011.
Batch, however, does offer more size for special teams than potential No. 5 receiver David Gilreath. Personally, Iâd rather have D.J. Ware â" who is bigger than Batch and was the Giantsâ third-down back last season but was recently released â" over either, but Batchâs knowledge of the Steelersâ playbook may keep him on the roster until Mendenhall returns to action.

BEALLSVILLE, MD. – With all five players among the top 20 individuals, Campbell University claimed its sixth women's golf tournament of the season Tuesday at the Hoya Invitational.
Lisbeth Brooks tied for second individually and Tahnia Ravnjak finished fifth as the Camels handed John Crooks his 70th women's tournament crown and 115th overall (including men's) as a collegiate head coach.
Rated No.-33 in the latest Golfstat NCAA head-to-head rankings, Campbell led wire-to-wire at the par-72, 6125-yard Members Club at Four Streams layout. On Tuesday, Campbell (299-305-290—894) shot two-over-par and finished 13 strokes ahead of Yale (304-307-296—907) in the 14-school field.
Campbell's six tournament wins in one season ties the 1996-97 and 1998-99 teams for second-most victories in a year since the program was started in 1989-90. The 1997-98 team won a school-record 8 tournaments.
"Certainly any of those years are special, but now that we are able to play in some tournaments that include Sunday play, these fields and our schedule is a lot better than it ever has been," said Crooks, the NGCA Hall of Famer who is in his 22nd year in charge of the Campbell women and 23rd at the helm of the men's team. "To win six times against a schedule like this is just fantastic."
Brooks made 34 pars and tied for the event lead with 10 birdies in the 54-hole tourney. The sophomore from Waunakee, Wis., shot 74-72-70—216 to tie with Amanda Chin of Penn (72-75-69—216) for runner-up honors. Harin Lee of St. John's claimed the individual medal at one-under 215 (73-73-69).
The 2012 Big South Conference freshman of the year, Brooks led this week's 80-player field in par-3 scoring (-3) and was third on the par fours (+2). Her 216 was just one shot off her collegiate career-best 54-hole showing – a 215 at last month's JMU Eagle Landing Invitational, where she also tied for second place.
Brooks entered the event with the second-best stroke average (74.56) in the Big South and ranked No.-110 nationally in the Golfstat Cup. She proceeded to secure her fifth top-10 finish of the 2012-13 campaign and was Campbell's low individual for the fourth-straight tournament.
Ravnjak came into this week's action with the best scoring mark (76.04) among all Big South freshmen (and ninth overall) and posted her fourth top-10 of the year. The native of Cordeaux Heights, Australia shot 73-76-72—221 to produce her best individual finish (fifth) of the campaign. Ravnjak had 8 birdies (fifth in the field) and 33 pars (8th), while finishing 2-under on the par-fives and two-over on the par-3 holes.
Campbell senior Teresa Urquizu led the field with 38 pars and was 2-over on the par-3 holes (tied for 4th). She shot even-par on Tuesday and finished in a tie for 13th place (76-83-72—231), marking her seventh top-20 showing of the 2012-13 campaign.
Sophomore Brooke Bellomy shot 76-80-76—232 and tied for 15th place, marking the seventh top-20 of the year for the Ona, W.Va., product. Bellomy had seven birdies (8th in the field) and was even on the par-5 holes.
Junior Kaylin Yost shot 78-77-78—233 and tied for 19th, her best individual finish since winning the Fighting Camel Fall Classic Oct. 22-23. Playing as an individual, junior Maria Jose Benavides tied for 23rd place (80-77-77—234) on the Nick Price/Steve Smyers design.
"This golf course is one of the best in the State of Maryland, one that requires excellence. There's never any let-up. We had three shoot even par or better today. It was just a heck of a performance," said Crooks. "Once again, everybody contributed, everybody pulled for each other, and we just did some really good things in clutch situations."
Campbell entered the event ranked fourth in the nation in birdies (312 through the first nine tournaments) and added 33 to that total over the last two days.
The Camels return to action Sunday when they will attempt to defend their Big South Conference Championship at The Patriot GC in Ninety-Six, S.C.
Crooks ranks second among all active Division I coaches in career tournament wins and is fourth all-time.

Washington • Fake appointments, unofficial logs kept on the sly and appointments made without telling the patient are among tricks used to disguise delays in seeing and treating veterans at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics.
They're not a new phenomenon. VA officials, veteran service organizations and members of Congress have known about them for years.
The "gaming strategies" were used to make it appear veterans were getting appointments within target times set by the department, according to a 2010 department memo to VA facility managers aimed at fighting the practices.
The memo from William Schoenhard, then the VA's deputy undersecretary for health operations and management, said that when a medical appointment wasn't available within the 30-day target time then used by VA, some schedulers would:

Atlanta Low Back Pain Expert Helps Hundreds Alleviate Pain Without Surgery
The advantage of the pain treatment techniques that we utilize in our practice is that they can be performed in a comfortable outpatient environment and they are highly effective.
Living with chronic back pain is living hell on earth. It affects people not only physically, but emotionally as well, leaving many people lonely, depressed, disabled, and sometimes jobless. Low back pain is the leading cause of disability and the number 2 cause of missed work days in the United States, according to the North American Spine Society.
A generation ago, when our parents were our age, the only treatments available to treat their low back pain
were either aspirin-like drugs or surgery. They were usually told by their doctors that they would "just have to live with it."
Over the past decade, however, pain management physicians, working closely with scientists who study the anatomy and the way the nervous system works have discovered that identifying the structures that cause the low back pain is absolutely critical to prescribe an effective treatment plan and avoid surgery .
"The obvious advantage of the pain treatment techniques that we utilize in our practice is that they can be performed in a comfortable outpatient environment, outside of a hospital, they are highly effective, and are very safe in the right pair of hands", states Dr. Guevara. Long-term pain and suffering is fast becoming a ghost of the past. Armed with new treatment options, compassion and thorough medical examination, we are fortunate to live during a time in which we no longer have to live with our pain.

We offer a variety of services at our clinic which are sure to meet the health needs you are seeking, whether it be back pain, neck pain, car accidents, sports injuries, decompression therapy, or just general wellness, we are happy to offer the best in conservative chiropractic and therapeutic care.

May 8, 2014
(MONTGOMERY)--Attorney General Luther Strange announced the theft conviction today of a former public employee of the Madison County Commission. Deborah Kay Sims, 59, of Gurley, pleaded guilty to first-degree theft. She is to pay $154,673 in restitution for funds stolen from the Madison County Commission, and sentencing is set for June 20.
According to information stated by prosecutors at today's hearing in Madison County Circuit Court, Sims had access as an employee of the Madison County Commission to public funds in the Madison County Fishing Rodeo account. She wrote checks and used a charge card to obtain cash and personal items that she kept for herself.
After irregularities were noticed in this account, Madison County Commissioners requested a special audit by the Examiners of Public Accounts and also sent the matter to the Alabama Ethics Commission. Both agencies referred the matter to the Attorney General's Special Prosecutions Division, which conducted an investigation along with the Ethics Commission.
The Attorney General's Special Prosecutions Division presented evidence to a Madison County grand jury on March 11, resulting in Sims' indictment and leading to today's conviction. Sims faces a potential penalty of two to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $30,000 for the class B felony.
"This defendant abused her public trust to steal more than $150,000 from a public fund, and I am pleased that we are recovering the stolen funds for the citizens of Madison County," said Attorney General Strange. "Today's conviction should send a message to all public employees that they will be held to account if they steal taxpayers' money."
Attorney General Strange commended Assistant Attorney General Bill Lisenby and Special Agents of his Special Prosecutions Division, and thanked employees of the Madison County Commission, the Examiners of Public Accounts and the Alabama Ethics Commission.

Last week, Vice president Joe Biden "guaranteed" Boston Mayor Tom Menino, co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, that there would be massive gun control by the end of January. This statement resulted in a lot of head-scratching.
Given the fact that Congress hasn't passed a budget since 2009, how could the vice president have made such a promise to Menino and keep a straight face? Maybe he knew something the rest of us didn't.
On Wednesday, before a gathering of gun advocacy groups, Biden hinted that President Obama may fall back on the vehicle he's resorted to all too often when he wants something that Congress won't give him — the executive order.
"The President is going to act, there are executive orders, executive action that can be taken", Biden said. "We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the Attorney General and all the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action, we believe is required."
Among those attending the meeting were representative from Arizona for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
According to a Fox News report, "The vice president will hear from the other side of the gun-control debate Thursday, when the nation's leading gun lobby meets face to face with his task force in what could be a testy session. The National Rifle Association confirmed to Fox News that the group accepted an invitation to meet with the task force, which is running up against an end-of-the-month deadline to produce a set of proposals."
On a personal note, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land,m and as such, is superior to any act of Congress. The same applies to executive orders.
