Comments of Senator Patrick Leahy On Continuing His Chairmanship Of The Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee On The Department of State, Foreign Operations, And Related Programs
January 9, 2013
"Vermonters are outward looking and have a long history of working to make life better here at home and across the globe. I have been privileged to serve as a voice for Vermont on foreign policy matters. That is why I have chosen for so many years to head one of the two Senate committees responsible for U.S. foreign affairs and protecting our global interests.
"This panel is where American values are put into action and funding decisions are made to advance our national security interests, to improve the lives of the world's poor, and to make the world safer, healthier, cleaner and more prosperous. I am proud that Vermont will continue to have a center seat at the table as these decisions are made. And now, as the most senior member of the Appropriations Committee, I will play an even more active role in the full scope of the committee's work, and in every aspect of particular importance to Vermont.
"I especially look forward to helping John Kerry in the new role I expect him to assume as our next Secretary of State. These are uncertain times, requiring steady hands at the tiller. From Afghanistan, Iran and Syria to the Horn of Africa and the Far East, the need for clear-eyed U.S. leadership and responsiveness has never been greater."
# # # # #
[Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is the Senate's President Pro Tem and the most senior member of the Appropriations Committee. Having the choice for many years of heading any one of several Appropriations panels, he has long chosen to chair the Subcommittee on the State Department, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, which he has headed since 1989. As chairman he has led in Congress on issues ranging from protecting human rights and fighting corruption to supporting sustainable development. He has focused on innocent victims of war through such efforts as the Leahy landmine export ban, the Leahy War Victims Fund, and civilian assistance programs in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has championed significant increases in funding for global health programs, environmental protection, refugee assistance efforts, and U.S. disaster and famine relief contributions around the world. He authored the new human rights conditions on U.S. military aid to Egypt, and the permanent "Leahy Law" remains the single most potent human rights tool in U.S. relationships with foreign military and police forces across the globe.]

How to Prepare Greek Village Salad

Chef Yiorgo Aretos prepares Greek Village Salad
Greek Village Salad, by Yiorgo Aretos recipe,cheflive,greek village salad,yiorgo aretos
Grab video code:
Hello, welcome to Down To Earth, I'm Chef Yiorgo, real recipes for real people. I owned Sonio's Café here in Las Vegas, popular local restaurant.
Today we're going to be doing a bunch of different recipes that are quick, simple, easy, fun and fresh. We're going to do a Greek Village Salad called the Horiataki so let's get started.
The first thing we're going to do today is we're going to turn the oven on to 400 degrees, get it nice and hot for the pork chops that we're going to do later. Let's jump in to the Horiataki.
Now a salad in Greece is a little bit different than a salad in America. Salad in America, you have a lot of vegetables, you have a lot of lettuce. We have in Greece too, but Greek people like to eat their salad a little bit differently especially the Horiataki. Now, the Horio in Greek means village and what we're going to do today is a sample of the traditional Horio salad.
We're going to start today with some Roman tomatoes and you can use pretty much any type of tomato that you have. I prefer Roman tomatoes because they tend to be a little sweeter especially this time of the year. They're coming right off the vine and you can see when you pick the Roman tomato you want to make sure that you got a nice red color to it. It shouldn't be very pale, it shouldn't be very green, and it should be very firm to the touch.
We're going to start today, make sure you wash them, of course. We're going to start today by slicing of the tips, and the idea with this is to make bite size pieces, pieces that you can walk by and just grab off for the plate. In Greece, when you're eating a Horiataki typically it's a pre-course to the main meal. And you'll leave it out on the table. Everybody in the house will come by and they'll pick off a bit, and grab a piece here and there while they're doing their activities or working.
Now, I'm going to slice this one just so you can see the inside of the Roman tomato. You want to make sure that it's nice and firm there. You want to make sure that the seeds aren't very droopy and that's when you feeling it that's what you're looking for. And we're not going to use that. We're going to slice this into very thin slices. You don't want them to be very thick. You don't want the flavor of the tomato that are overpowering in the salad because we have a lot of the fun ingredients that we're going to put on top of this. So you want to make it about this thin. You can just pick up and pop in your mouth. We're going to cut all those like that.
Now, the flavors of the Horiataki can differ from village to village. My village happens to be simple village and we only have a few ingredients that we're going to put together here from the garden. However, you can use any of the garden fresh vegetables that you have such as cucumbers which we're not going to use today. Those are also popular in Greece and in Greek cuisine. We want to grab a plate that's large enough so that the tomatoes are not overlapping just a little bit. I spread them evenly around the plate. They don't have to be too much close about it because they're all going to be eaten anyhow.
I've got a nice layer of them.
Next step, you want to pick some Feta cheese. Now, there are a lot of different types of Feta cheese that are available in the market. I prefer to use for the Feta cheese. There is domestic Feta cheese. However, it doesn't have the same flavor and therefore I prefer to use an imported Feta cheese. Now, the Feta cheese that I'm using today, I've already dried out. I've soak the juice out of it.
Some people like to use it. You can drain it. You don't have to drain it. Today we're going to drain it. The reason that we're going to drain it, that we have drained it is because we have a lot of other oils and stuff to put on top of it. I'm just going to pour about four ounces onto the top. I like to crumble. If you don't want to crumble or if you can't find crumbled, you can use whole Feta cheese as well. I would cut it into slices that are again bite size, easy to put into your mouth. You don't want to be cutting it just typically isn't the type of the salad that you're going to and taking the knife to either. That's something that you want to stab the fork into and I'm done with.
So the second layer is a layer of Feta cheese. Now at this point, you want to grab some olive oil. Now, I prefer to use virgin olive oil. Some people like to use extra virgin olive oil. I had pretty cook with extra virgin olive oil, but on my salads I like virgin. It has a much bolder flavor.
The olive oil, if you're using a bottle you want to make sure that you're not pouring it so heavily over the top that if becomes a predominant flavor. The idea here is just a drizzle. Just enough to coat the tomatoes, to coat the Feta cheese, drizzle it on the plate and the idea actually is to give it enough moisture, so that when we put the other ingredients on top, the spices and the dry spices on top, that they stick. I'm also going to use some dry basil. Now when I cook with Italian food or I'm making Italian dishes I prefer to use fresh basil. When I cook Greek foods, I tend to prefer to use dry basil, and the reason for that is that the dry basil tends to soak up with vinegar and the oil better than the fresh basil does.
I'm going to take about a tablespoon and we're going to spread it right on the top and feel free to be liberal with this. This is the predominant flavor in the dish. I'm also going to take some ground pepper and if you'd like to use fresh ground pepper that's fine as well, just take you a little bit longer to do it. I'm going to take again this time about a teaspoon, and we're going to drizzle that on top as well.
Now, balsamic vinegar, there are many different kinds of balsamic vinegar available. It doesn't matter what kind to use. We're going to use straight, simple everyday. Something you can find in a grocery store balsamic vinegar. There are flavors, there's fruit, there's pears, there's berries, all of those taste fine with this especially when you're using the Roman tomatoes because they are so juicy. They are so fresh and fruity for this. This is just the basis and I think the flavor speak for itself. Again, with this you're going to do just a light covering. Balsamic vinegar tends to be much stronger than regular vinegars, so you don't want to use as much as you would. If say you were putting together just a toss salad with some red vinegar. This flavor is going to jump out of it. It's going to mix with the Feta cheese and it's going to be very strong because you want to make sure that you layer it just enough to your taste. What I use right there was probably just about over three or four tablespoons. If you prefer it to be a little bit stronger have a little more bite feel free to spread it out.
Now, I also like to use Peter bread with this. If you prefer different type of bread, different types of bread work just fine as well. I prefer the Peter because it's so nice thin bread and it soaks up the balsamic vinegar and the oil very wellness dish. I've cut mine into slices, and I'm going to cut them a little bit more again bite size is the idea with this dish. Just about this big.
Now I'm going to lay them on the side of the dish so that people can come by and grab them as they please, and we're going to have a couple of green onions. You only need two. If you prefer a stronger flavor feel free to add some more. This is for color and it's also for flavor. I'm going to cut them just in half. And we're going to lay those right across the top burger.
We're going to finalize the dish, put some Kalamata olives. Again, very much like the Feta cheese, there's a lot of different types of Kalamata olives that's available in the stores. If you can find imported Kalamata olives I definitely suggest that you do. There's something about the flavor that is just different than the domestic Kalamata olive. However, anything will do as long as it's Kalamata, and I place those around the side as well. And then, I put right on the top. Not a secret, when you're cooking with any type of a Mediterranean food especially Greek food and especially when you're cooking with Kalamata olives.
I love the juice, the juice is a secret to a flavor and if there is any juice left over, drizzle right over the top of that. They really bring the flavor of Feta cheese out, and that is a simple, quick, easy, down to earth Horiataki, Greek Village Salad.

Home >> Computing >> Computing >> Pioneer Enters Portable Gps >> Pioneer Enters Portable GPS
Pioneer, one of the last key autosound players to announce an entry into the booming portable navigation segment, said it will deliver its first portable GPS unit this June.
The new AVIC-S1 has preloaded maps of the United States and Canada, an SD card slot, built-in rechargeable battery and Bluetooth for hands-free cellphone calling. Suggested retail price is $599.
Until now, Pioneer, which claims to have a leading share of the $85 million fixed automotive U.S. navigation market, has steered clear of portable GPS — a 2 million unit segment with over 120 percent growth, by Pioneer's own estimates.
Karen Rubin, marketing and product planning director for navigation, said the change in strategy came from Pioneer's research on its current in-dash navigation owners. The company found that more than 30 percent of its AVIC customers already owned a portable GPS. "From those results we [determined] that there's a step-up logic of having a good experience with portable navigation and then wanting to look for something more." Pioneer is therefore offering the AVIC-S1 portable as "an entry point" for navigation customers, said Rubin.
Other features of the AVIC-S1 include a 3.5-inch color touch screen, 2GB of flash memory for map storage and 1.5 million points of interest.
In navigation in general, Pioneer said its real-time traffic sales have picked up recently. Rubin said 40 percent of in-dash navigation customers subscribe to XM NavTraffic. Many AVIC customers are satellite radio owners — over 60 percent — "and all of these customers will use their satellite radio over any other audio source such as CD or MP3 playback … If they already have XM audio, they are more inclined to try out XM NavTraffic," she said. Pioneer is also examining other real-time traffic services using RDS or Sirius.
Separately, Pioneer announced a new multimillion dollar advertising campaign called "Drive Happier," to support its navigation systems. It will include three television commercials to air on five different cable channels and a print campaign. Pioneer has also broadened its cross-country promotion tour for GPS. Last year the tour created more than 7.6 million consumer impressions and more than 25,000 hands-on demonstrations, Pioneer said. This year the 10-month tour will have two separate legs: one each for the East and West, and each will include five demo vehicles. They will travel to malls, festivals, concerts, retailers and other locations to promote navigation.
Finally, Pioneer introduced a new in-dash car DVD/monitor called the AVH-P7800DVD with DVD Audio, DiVX, and Bluetooth and iPod capability. The unit offers 96k/24-bit 5.1 channel sound and has DTS, Dolby Digital and other surround formats, plus a 50x8-watt amplifier with nine channel high-volt pre-amp. Other features include a 7-inch TFT with wide VGA (800 by 480 pixels) and QVGA resolution and 13-band graphic equalizer plus three band parametric equalizer. It has optional attachments for XM, Sirius, a TV tuner, navigation, iPod and Bluetooth devices. The P7800DVD is due to ship in June at $2,200.

"4Chan is misunderstood – people like to think that /b/ is the dark heart of the internet. It isn't just that. People want to think everyone on 4Chan is a young rambunctious male. That's not accurate – it's a wide range of people using it. One of the things that 4Chan does that's really special is the way people come together to collaborate en masse. It's the process at which you arrive at the product that is fascinating."Poole also discussed Facebook honcho Mark Zuckerberg, declaring Zuckerberg's views on anonymity incorrect.
"Zuckerberg's totally wrong on anonymity being total cowardice. Anonymity is authenticity. It allows you to share in a completely unvarnished, raw way. The cost of failure is really high when you're contributing as yourself."He also discussed a mistake he feels he made with 4chan, which is believing the community can police itself, given the right tools.
"One of the mistakes I've made is believing in an invisible guiding hand as far as moderation goes. And that if you give the community the right structure they could police themselves. "I've underestimated the value of having a real staff presence, and encouraging them to police the boards behind the scenes. When it's not clear that we're leading things it's like we're not there and that we don't care – it's extremely detrimental to community."Head on past the break to watch the other two parts from Poole's speech, which features some behind-the-scenes information, including popular memes like CAPTCHArt.Read on...
4chan Down Due to DDoS Attack
Notorious website of notoriety 4chan.org is currently down; even if you manage to get on the site's frontpage, which as of posting could take well over a minute, the boards and images are all offline. According to site administrator Christopher "moot" Poole, the site is down "due to DDoS. We now join the ranks of MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, et al.—an exclusive club!" As of posting, downforeveryoneorjustme.com confirms that the site is down. Yesterday, Internet vigilante group Anonymous, which has loose ties with some 4chan forumers, launched a DDoS attack against Bank of America's website, an act of retaliation which they said came in response to Bank of America's refusal to process payments or donations to WikiLeaks. Placing bets on which group could be behind this. Banks that cut off WikiLeaks' funding and were hit with DDoSes this past month retaliating? Tumblr kids who still take the 4chan/Tumblr war seriously? 4chan? (4chan status via Slashdot.)Read on...
5 Self-Illustrative Guides to Trolling
Trolling, or "posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion" (h/t Wikipedia), is the hot new Internet trend, and a guaranteed way to increase your social media currency.
But the million-dollar question is: How can aspiring viral marketers harness the power of trolling for greater user engagement in online communities? These five self-illustrative trolling guides will show you the way:Read on...
Now Watchable: 4Chan Founder Christopher "moot" Poole's TED TalkChristopher Poole, a.k.a. moot, stumbled upon a Japanese forum and subsequently launched an Internet empire. So large and interesting an empire, in fact, that he was invited to speak at TED. The talk covers a surprisingly broad subject matter in such a short time. From the origins of the site to its social impact, he covers nearly everything about the what, where, why, and when, and distinct lack of a who behind his chaotic forum. In the brief Q&A after his talk, Poole is pressed to defend the supreme message of anonymity he advocates, and he does a great job. Other excerpts from the video include parental response, former music stars jumping out of floats, why his site's viewers are better than CSI, marble cake, and the game.Read on...

News & Updates: 1/27/2012 – New York
Say it ain't so…
Tom Ford Private Blend is seemingly retiring two fragrances: Bois Marocain (due more than likely to slow sales and low popularity — if you've smelled it, you'll understand why) and Amber Absolute. For Amber Absolute (AA), the flacons are going if not already gone, and you'll find it difficult to pick up any of the last few produced. The 50ml sizes are still available. For now. There's no indication of whether that will continue or it will be removed entirely.
It's an odd decision as Amber is a note now seeming to come into wider recognition. AA, however, was a bit of an odd duck since it was amber heavily laced with woods and incense. The result? The feeling that you've entered a Catholic High Mass when the sillage releases. Ford seems to like his incenses, and there are plenty of very good amber fragrances available, but AA was unique and worth experiencing as a much different experiment with the notes.
Time will tell what replaces these selections, but the previous new entries were a big disappointment in our view. Let's wait and see if he uses the opportunity to retune some of his prior fragrances for future return.
At the end of 2011, we lamented and lambasted Christian Dior's marketing department for the decision to remove online ordering for their La Collection Privee line. Apparently, someone listened because a very recent check of their site revealed that the shopping cart has returned.
Now we've tried a few of these fragrances, and hopefully Dior has gotten their boutiques better educated about the line. In our view, Leather Oud and Ambre Nuit were both very good fragrances at a very reasonable price point for their quantity. Bois D'Argent was interesting though not spectacular, and Vetiver and Eau Noire were very good choices. So was Patchouli Imperial. Of the women's line, Granville and Mitzah are both standouts, Cologne Royale, Milly-la-Foret weren't necessarily exceptional though good, and New Look 1947 was one that my wife found she didn't enjoy with the passing of time (it's since been swapped).
You can find out more on each at http://www.dior.com.
Worst Perfume Marketing Copy. Ever.
Someone recently shared this little tidbit of 'perfume marketing porn', courtesy of Etat Libre d'Orange Secretions Magnifiques.
"Like blood, sweat, sperm, saliva, Sécrétions Magnifiques is as real as an olfactory coitus that sends one into raptures, to the pinnacle of sensual pleasure, that extraordinary and unique moment when desire triumphs over reason. Masculine tenseness frees a rush of adrenalin in a cascade of high-pitched aldehydic notes. The sensation of freshness is gripping. Then the fragrance reveals a metallic side, precise and as sharp as unappeased desire. We are on a razor-edge… skin and sweat mingle, and tastes of musk and sandalwood. The slightly salt marine effect stirs, arouses, and sets your mouth watering. Tongues and sexes find one another, pleasure explodes and all goes wild. Confusion reigns supreme. A subversive, disturbing perfume. It's love or hate at first sight. Sensuous jousting is rarely satisfied with half-measures…In between Don Juan and the Woman who offers herself, arms are laid down…who will be the first to surrender?"
Blood, sweat, sperm, saliva, coitus?!? I feel dirty just from reading this. I have it on good authority that it smells like none of those, but the first sentence alone was off putting enough to remove all curiosity. It does, however, contain adrenalin and blood accords.
Olfactory coitus indeed.

SAN ANTONIO -- The Texas Department of Transportation is hoping for another Fiesta season without any alcohol-related fatalities.
On Tuesday, the department unveiled a new voucher for its Fiesta Safe Rides campaign during a press conference at the Pearl Brewery. This year, the vouchers are in the form of credit cards.
TxDOT is giving away 2,500 cards at taxi stands at designated Fiesta events. The cards are pre-loaded with $20 and may only be used only throughout the Fiesta celebration.
Partygoers are always encouraged to line up a P.A.S.S. -- an acronym for Person Appointed to Stay Sober. But if a designated driver isn't available, get a cab.
Yellow Cab Taxi - (210) 222.2222
Crediting the success of the past educational program, TxDOT cited zero alcohol-related fatalities in 2011 and 2012.
"Safety is the number one priority for TxDOT and its community partners," said Robbi Branche-Smith, Traffic Safety Specialist of TxDOT. "Our Fiesta Safe Rides Campaign encourages all motorists to commit to a safe ride to and from Fiesta events and make responsible decisions before leaving home.
The Fiesta Safe Rides campaign is co-sponsored by Valero, Silver Eagle Distributors, San Antonio
Police Department, Fiesta Commission, Yellow Cab and Gabriel's Wine & Spirit.

I am going to keep this as short as possible so that it is not a book. I cannot begin to write down everything in detail about how unprofessional this company was, I already tried and it was pages.
I was moving from Texas to Pennsylvania
The company arrived late to pick my things up, and they sent Compass Van Lines to make the pickup. The movers having arrived late were doing my moving while I was trying to get ready for work, which made it difficult for me to look over my paperwork thoroughly enough. [continued below]....
I took the free 30 days storage, so I could keep working and save a few dollars before I moved. A friend was supposed to receive my property for me the week before I arrived. The delivery date came and went, and I received no contact from the company. I tried to make contact that whole day and the next and finally got someone who said they would call me back. The bulk of the day passed with no call back. Long story short I got a hold of them again and found out my stuff hadnt left yet. They were planning on delivering it 5 days later without contacting me about it.
Fast forward to the delivery They arrived three days late, instead of five, at 11:00 p.m. EST. My friend has two children and goes to school during the week and wasnt prepared for this. He had cleared storage space for my things in a garage until I arrived but the movers tried to put my things in his kitchen. After ARGUING with them he allowed them to put it in his basement. They left my couch and mattress on his porch in Pennsylvaniain the middle of winter, right after a major snow storm. To top it off my friend said they locked their keys in their truck.
Compass Van Lines was not approved by the insurance (which New Planet recommended I get), and the paper work was not filled out correctly, stating that everything was PBO (Packed by Owner). This voided my Insurance claim, which I am fighting now. The additional materials I paid for were removed, resulting in damages, and all of my boxes were crushed or damaged. I will offer any additional information to anyone interested because I cant even scratch the surface here.
People say that competing companies get on here and post bad reviews; well there is no way to tell if the companies themselves are posting good reviews. I will offer any additional information should anyone want to know. The BBB had a good rating and I was still screwed.

I had received a phone call from Fara; the office manager at New Planet; stating that she had spoke with the insurance company. She stated that she would forward my report to New Planets Claims Department. Than was the last time I heard from anyone at New Planet Moving and Storage.
I filed a complaint against the company through the Better Business Bearu. It had been quite sometime and I have now received a reply from the BBB. Fara from New Planet stated the following:
"Mr. Subic is not a customer of New Planet Moving & Storage. We have no contract with him. His move was performed by Compass. Please do not add to our complaint report.
Thank you"
This company is trying to say that they never did business with me though I have documentation supporting the opposite. I will update this as I learn more, but do not get sucked in by this company and its shady business practices.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

1966 Buick Skylark
Bob Kimbrow from Poplar Bluff, Missouri
Want your car to be featured? Send us a picture and we'll post it here on our website, and /or on our Facebook and Google+ page.
Released to commemorate Buick's 50th anniversary, the 1953 Buick Skylark convertible is a highly collectible classic. Offered again in 1954 with only about 2500 Skylarks produced between the two years, the Buick Skylark would disappear until the 1961 model was produced. When the Skylark returned, it was an intermediate sport coupe muscle car. Providing the unique Buick Skylark styling and respectable horsepower, the skylark had a bit of everything for everyone. The sport coupe models were in production until 1972 when their performance decreased due to new emission regulations for automobiles. Revived again in '75, it wasn't until 1986 when the skylark would evolve into the coupe many are familiar with today. The Skylark name would continue until the coupe was discontinued in the '97 model year and the sedan removed in '98. Spanning decades of production, the Buick Skylark was known for its distinct looks and comfortable driver friendly features.

NBC looks back at Locomotiv disaster
Sources tell me the Olympics will go on even after both American hockey teams were eliminated from gold medal contention, and with that in mind I recommend a feature that NBC plans for its afternoon show Saturday.

NBC wants NHL back in '18

"The Price of Gold," last month's ESPN look back at the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan saga of 1994, was good at what it did, but it lacked one crucial element: Nancy Kerrigan.

Back in 2008 I was dubious about turning my spanking new iPhone into a gaming device. I was new to the App Store, and the ordinary gaming sites I used to frequent like IGN and Gamespot didn't report much about the Apple phone. I found TouchArcade, and they had a review for Blue Defense! posted on November 12 2008. I was highly dubious getting the game as I hadn't converted from my Nintendo DS yet. A dollar later I was playing the first game that really made me understand that the iPhone could be used for gaming. Now almost two years later the sequel is here.
It has been a busy time between 2008 and 2010 for developer John Kooistra, mastermind behind Cat in a Box Games. After defending the blue planet in Blue Defense! we got to strike back in highly enjoyable Blue Attack! We got to play a RTS set in the Blue vs Red universe in the third game Red Conquest! A cool action RPG devoid from all space references emerged not long ago to fill the byte sized RPG need: Fastar! Somehow John has also managed to get Blue Defense: Second Wave! out a couple of months later.
In the Blue Defense games you control the cannons of a planet. The sequel offers two control methods: tilt and touch. In tilt the cannons autofire, and you simply rotate the phone to fire. This works well, but is a hassle if you use headphones. The new touch controls with multitouch are awesome. You have a stream of fire that you can divide in different directions either setting target looks or twist your fingers around the planet. It gets really hectic, and Blue Defense: Second Wave! is probably one of the most intense games on the iPhone. Removing target locks, setting new ones, using the powerful planet cannon, and trying to figure out what the enemy will do next has to be done really quickly.
Whenever an enemy invades the planet the population decreases, and as casualties become too high the game ends. Generally this is a rather quick process once the enemy has found a hole in the defences. For some reason it always feels like I am in control up to that point, and this is why the game gets that "one more try" thing going.
The presentation of the series is great, and the abstract organisms attacking always mesmerize me…until I blow them to smithereens of course. The universe feels believable, and the cool effects look great against the dark backdrop of space. The sounds of small explosions are accompanied by a soundtrack that is somewhere between hope and doom in feeling. I get the same feeling that I get from the Halo soundtracks.
There is one thing that bothers me about Blue Defense: Second Wave!, and that is that there are too many game modes. To me there would have been enough to simply play two of them. The classic infinite game where the planet is doomed, and highscores is all there is to win is great. But I also enjoy the new gauntlet mode where you have to survive a set number of waves, and there can be a good ending to the fray. I get somewhat confused when I get too many options, and this is a problem also seen in Fastar! To learn the different enemies, and paths I would like a more streamlined experience.
Blue Defense: Second Wave! is a brilliant game to play for that ten minute break, or on the bus. It lacks long term appeal due to both being so intense, and because there are too many modes and choices to make. If you want to have something that feels just as fresh as two years ago, and that blasts away most of the competition when it comes to intensity definitely consider Blue Defense: Second Wave!
Final Rating
Blue Defense: Second Wave! $0.99 Universal
Version: 1.0.1
Seller: Cat in a Box Games
Tested on an iPhone 4.

WE desire to remind our readers that the fair of the G. A. R. opens next Monday in Lyceum Hall. It will offer unusual attraction to students in the shape of a handsome bat, which is to be given to the Harvard ball-player who receives the most votes. Let us all rally to the support of our friends! Then, again, our votes should certainly secure the silk banner to "Cambridge I," that company always first at fires and always courteous and obliging to students.
THE exact number of the Freshman Class is 218.
SECOND-YEAR HONORS IN MATHEMATICS. - Class I., O. P. Dexter, '76; M. G. Post, '75; A. S. Thayer, '75. Class II., M. S. Fenollosa, '75. Class III., J. C. Lane, '75; N. Mathews, '75; W. A. Reed, '75; M. L. Willard, '75.
A RECEPTION game will probably be played with the Bostons by the Harvard Nine on the return of the former from their tour next week. The game will take place on the Boston Grounds, and we hear that Mr. Bush of '71 will play once more under his old colors.
THE authorities are hard at work on the new Catalogue, and we may hope to see that welcome volume at Thanks-giving.
ST. PAUL'S SOCIETY. - The Rev. James De Koven, D. D., President of Racine College, will preach before the Society at Christ Church, Cambridge, Sunday evening, November 2. All are invited to attend. Service at 7.30 P. M.
IT may be a source of satisfaction to some of us to understand clearly the matter of cuts in Chemistry 2. For the benefit of those interested it is as follows: Absence from 10-11 on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays, whether it be lecture or laboratory, counts as a full absence. Absence from Professor Cooke's lecture on Wednesday counts as a full absence. Absence from any three laboratory hours counts as a full absence. The weeks on which Professor Cooke lectures, one hour less laboratory work is required.
Instructor in Logic. Mr. -, what is the universal negative?
Student. Not prepared, sir.
MR. J. A. HODGE, '75, has taken the position of instructor in Zoology and Botany for the ensuing year at De Veaux College, Suspension Bridge.

Soil and Nutrition at Anthony's
We've been buzzing about the importance of soil for growing nutritious food ever since JJ saw Dan Kittredge speak back in November. Now we can't believe that the Soil and Nutrition Conference we're hosting with NOFA Mass, begins February 2nd. We'll be cooking food for attendees, and finding time to listen to different speakers. Interested in attending? There are still slots available.
Menu Brainstorm
This week we're escaping the doldrums of New England winter by pouring over our cookbooks and getting creative with the menu. We're trying out new recipes and revisiting old favorites from around the world. Sign up for a share to travel with us:
- Italian Minestrone
- Sean's Chicken Curry
- Spinach and Sweet Potato Tortilla Espanola
