FreeBSD Manual Pages
AE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AE(4) NAME ae -- Attansic/Atheros L2 FastEthernet controller driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device miibus device ae Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ae_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The ae device driver provides support for Attansic/Atheros L2 PCIe FastEthernet controllers. The controller supports hardware Ethernet checksum processing, hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion and an interrupt moderation mechanism. At- tansic L2 also features a 64-bit multicast hash filter. The ae driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5). 10baseT/UTP Select 10Mbps operation. 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (FastEthernet) operation. The ae driver provides support for the following media options: full-duplex Force full duplex operation. half-duplex Force half duplex operation. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). HARDWARE The ae driver supports Attansic/Atheros L2 PCIe FastEthernet controllers, and is known to support the following hardware: o ASUS EeePC 701 o ASUS EeePC 900 Other hardware may or may not work with this driver. LOADER TUNABLES Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5). hw.ae.msi_disable This tunable disables MSI support on the Ethernet hardware. The default value is 0. SYSCTL VARIABLES The ae driver collects a number of useful MAC counter during the work. The statistics is available via the dev.ae.%d.stats sysctl(8) tree, where %d corresponds to the controller number. DIAGNOSTICS ae%d: watchdog timeout. The device has stopped responding to the net- work, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable). ae%d: reset timeout. The card reset operation has been timed out. ae%d: Generating random ethernet address. No valid Ethernet address was found in the controller NVRAM and registers. Random locally administered address with ASUS OUI identifier will be used instead. SEE ALSO altq(4), arp(4), miibus(4), netintro(4), ng_ether(4), vlan(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The ae driver and this manual page was written by Stanislav Sedov <firstname.lastname@example.com>. It first appeared in FreeBSD 7.1. BUGS The Attansic L2 FastEthernet controller supports DMA but does not use a descriptor based transfer mechanism via scatter-gather DMA. Thus the data should be copied to/from the controller memory on each transmit/re- ceive. Furthermore, a lot of data alignment restrictions apply. This may introduce a high CPU load on systems with heavy network activity. Luckily enough this should not be a problem on modern hardware as L2 does not support speeds faster than 100Mbps.

Shrimp and Lobster Etouffee
The first step is to make the shellfish stock which is very easy and requires relatively little simmering time. Browned vegetables, shrimp and lobster shells, and water simmered for about an hour, but I've also made shellfish stock in closer to 30 minutes. Once the stock is finished, strained, and ready to be used, the etouffee was started, of course, with a roux. The goal is to cook the roux until it's the color of milk chocolate. Mine was just a little lighter than that, but I really didn't want it to burn. Then, chopped onion was added and allowed to caramelize before the diced celery, red bell pepper, garlic, thyme, cayenne, extra cayenne in my case, and smoked paprika were added. I thought it was interesting that Besh suggested red bell pepper rather than green. Next, a peeled, seeded, and diced tomato was added with the shellfish stock. The mixture simmered for just seven minutes before sliced green onions and the shrimp and lobster meat were added. Last, butter was added, and it was seasoned with Worcestershire and Tabasco and checked for salt and pepper. When the shrimp were cooked through, it was served with white rice.
Whether etouffee or gumbo or crawfish or shrimp, I really love this style of food and the flavors that develop as it simmers away. In this particular version, I appreciated the hint of smoke from the paprika. This one seemed a little less overly rich than some etouffees I've had. It wasn't too heavy or too thick. The mix of shrimp and lobster was nice, but it was all about the flavor of the stew.

Mouthwatering flavors!ReplyDelete
I wish I could have one large bowl of them! Delish!ReplyDelete
That looks really good. I could go for a bowl or two of that right now. Nice way to celebrate Mardi GrasReplyDelete
Stunning! This is a great dish.ReplyDelete
Wonderful tips. I never take the time to make a shellfish stock and I should!ReplyDelete
so as a seafood-disliker, what i'm hearing you say is that i have a better shot with gumbo. :)ReplyDelete
this is a very nicely executed batch o' etouffee, lisa--bravo.
I love cajun stews...gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee...I haven't really figured out the difference between all of them either. But what's in a name?ReplyDelete
This looks delicious!
What a delicious looking dish!ReplyDelete
I have always wanted to try making gumbo, it looks so delicious!ReplyDelete
Your pictures are so professional! I need some photography lessons. :)
This was a lovely celebration indeed!ReplyDelete
Mmmmm - there is nothing quite like a good etouffee. Your version sounds amazing and the perfect way to show solidarity for Mardi Gras.ReplyDelete
shrimp and lobster - my fave seafood. what a luxurious bowl of soup!ReplyDelete

I totally admire people who make their own stock! I always feel that they are exeptionally responsible and conscientious. All that I am not. :)ReplyDelete
Delicious! I would love to try this.ReplyDelete
*kisses* HH
There's nothing better than etouffee! And you have a wonderful recipe. I like crawfish too, but your substitutions turned out perfectly. What kind of paprika did you use?ReplyDelete
John Besh is fabulous. One of the great chefs in NOLA. I was so disappointed when he didn't become an Iron Chef...although it certainly won't affect his career. He would have become more well known though.
Barbara: I used a hot smoked Spanish paprika. I think I would enjoy that paprika is just about any savory dish!ReplyDelete
Hi there! Although lobster and shrimp are not something I have ever eaten something tells me that I am going to like your dishReplyDelete
That looks delicious Lisa! :D Thanks for sharing the recipe-I've only ever eaten this in a restaurant :)ReplyDelete
Etouffee is one of my top favorite regional American dishes. I love it, love it, love it. I don't know why I have never learned to make it before. Well, that's about to change.ReplyDelete
I have this book too - and absolutely love it. It's one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've ever seen. Your etouffee looks excellent! I can't wait to make it for myself.ReplyDelete

A totally fabulous etouffee, awesome with lobster!ReplyDelete
Oooh, I've been eye-ing this recipe in Besh's book, too. Looks even more awesome in your photos. I can almost taste the deep, complex flavors already.ReplyDelete
wow. everything you do is so fab!ReplyDelete
I too am a big Chef Besh groupie. Your food looks fabulous too!ReplyDelete
I've never had etouffee, it looks delicious! I'm imagining the wonderful briny seafood flavors infused in the tomato base. Wonderful!ReplyDelete
You know, I've never thought about what the differences would be between an etouffee and a gumbo... but you make a good point! This looks scrumptious...ReplyDelete
Delicious ~ love the combation etouffee and the gumbo your food dish look's beautiful ~ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing ~
Have a lovely day ~
What courage. I've made shrimp creole from scratch but it's been 10 years since then and each time I crave something like it - or like this wonderful étoufée - I freak out about making the stock. You have just inspired me! And yum - lobster!ReplyDelete
This looks amazing! So comforting.ReplyDelete
I managed to miss all the awesomeness of Mardi Gras and NOLa's finest dishes! Thank goodness there's no expiration date on something as delicious as this. It's been ages since I've had étouffé, so it's about time I tried it again.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 12, 2015 at 11:17 AM
This is a really old blog post, but in case you're still wondering about the difference, the roux for etouffe is far lighter and incorporates butter. The roux for gumbo is much darker and has only oil - no butter. Also, you're right: etouffe should be made with only one kind of seafood.ReplyDelete
Trying to make Etouffe tomorrow...W/shrimp,crab,&lobster....Wish me luck❗❗ReplyDelete

Charlie Sheen pays for injured teen's therapy dog
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Florida teenager who plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010 is getting some help from actor Charlie Sheen.
Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on the free-fall ride were not raised. She was paralyzed initially but through physical therapy is now able to walk with a walker.
A Marti family friend in Eau Claire asked Sheen for $6,000 to cover therapy dog training, and Sheen wired $10,000 on Thursday.
Sheen said he found it impossible not to help after getting the request and he likes to "pay it forward."
The 15-year-old said she didn't really know much about Sheen before but now thinks he's kind and generous.


text: In the professional realm, we need to be able to argue without being argumentative. Whether you are fundraising for a nonprofit, pitching a business proposal, or suggesting a change to company policy, you are making arguments. In making the case for your topic, you often want to raise awareness, identify a pressing problem, discuss appropriate solutions, and outline specific steps for the audience. To be persuasive, you must be clear (the audience may have little to no existing knowledge), you must be convincing (you are trying to sway the audience that your argument is valid), and you must be compelling (you are trying to motivate the audience enough so that they want to take specific actions). Persuasive speaking thus requires clarity, strategy, topic mastery, plus a sense of style and presence. By the end of this course, you should be able to design persuasive speeches that address problems and solutions and that motivate audience members. You should be able to use rhetorical style strategically and deliver passionate and compelling speeches. Learners will record speeches, providing and receiving peer feedback.

The only way students from india pass exams in America is because they cheat. FBI is investigating.
Du mb asss.
Cheat blah blah blah
25,000 girls were rayped in India while Nigeria was celebrating boko haram day. Two countries match made in heaven.
@8:09 and so what. Are you mother Theresa? ?
Lol. Yep. He thinks he's mother Theresa. But he's a fake. He really doesn't care at all.
I think 8:09 does a little bit of gang rayping himself. Dirty rat.
8:09 author gets turned on talking about it. What a P.E.R.V.
Raype is not a bad thing. It can be pleasurable for both the man and the woman. There are techniques. G spot can help.
The great Ayn Rand "spoke to" that, to borrow linguistic decadence from a former acquaintance who was fired from her job as a union organizer: too rabid.
@Ken. You nailed it!
Modi has a new boyfriend in Nigeria.
Hi all.
I eat kitty poop from India
I lick Narendra Modi's nose
I kiss Narendra Modi's feet
Narendra Modi is my first boyfriend
I asked Narendra Modi to marry me. He said maybe.
Nonetheless India celebrates its first husband i.e. Modi's new boyfriend from Nigeria.
So the rest being posted by RAW sleuths is nonsense.
I massage Narendra Modi's body with oil. He has a smooth behind
I wonder what the kid of Modi's Nigerian husband and Modi will look like?
I eat pig S.H.I.T from Alabama.
Yup. We ship that to India. Enjoy it.
I eat dog S.H.I.T from Louisiana.
Modi's Nigerian husband divorced him today.
Isn't Modi pregnant though? Who takes custody?
Modi found a new boyfriend in Kazakasthan. India's new first husband.
Bueno, so what? The USA may have a very useful first husband soon.
Don't forget what that did for Alaska.
BTW, I now study Spanish every morning. The ability to speak it quite rapidly, with a complete absence of Spain's annoying Ferdinand lisp, will be the USA's latest status symbol.
All have jobs, you know.
Green ones.
Try drawing a parallel with Chad or Mozambique, eh pundit.
India was ruled by moslems from Central Asia for most of its history. Modi having a Kazakhistani boyfriend is a good thing.
Perhaps over the years hindus will become more fairer in skin color rather than use bleach cream.
Please stop it. Our prime minister Narendra Modi is happily married to his wife when she was 14 years old as per hindu brahmin traditions.
Are you proud of the fact that your Indian culture based on hindu tenets is permissive of underage marriages?
Yo. I am a worthless B AST ARD
I am Vikram and I am a
I am a B AST ARD. I am Vikram.
No yous is not. Yous is a hindu from India.
Modi is pregnant from his Nigerian husband.
India's first child. And no, i am not from Umeerika.
I am Garam Masala. And I am a B AST ARD
Girls are sold away in matrimony at the age of 8 yrs in India. Just like in Congo.
Hi. I am Frankie. I am a B AST ARD.
Yous from India?
I read my mother's diary. After reading what she did as a drunk many years ago I discovered that I am a B AST ARD

The Home Performance Super Lab
The SouthWest Building Science Training Center (SWBSTC) was created in 2004, in partnership with the Arizona Governor's Office of Energy Policy, and Foundation for Senior Living (FSL) Home Improvements. The center was created to develop and deliver a complete weatherization training program for the Arizona Weatherization Assistance program (WAP), using Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) funding. Since that time, over 2,200 WAP and home performance professionals have come through our doors to attend classes on Energy Basics, Thermal Performance, Pressure Diagnostics, Combustion Safety, WAP for Admin, Infrared Imaging Basics, Lead RRP Certifications, BPI Certifications, WAP BootCamp, and OSHA 10- or 30-Hour Certifications.
January 4, 2010, marked my first day as the energy training and technical assistance coordinator at the SWBSTC in Phoenix, Arizona. While I was lucky enough to walk into the most comprehensive pressure and combustion labs in Arizona for weatherization and home performance training, I found not only that SWBSTC had all but outgrown its 728 ft2 modified mobile home for building science training, but that this mobile home was just not as representative of the local housing stock as we wanted it to be. While we were the only real choice in Arizona when it came to weatherization and building science training, we would not be happy until we finally built the Super Lab.
The Beginning
One of the first duties handed to me was to work with some of the most respected experts in the region to design and build this one-of-a-kind training facility—a facility that would highlight key features of Southwest housing stock, while never losing sight of the core building science principles that apply across all climate zones.
"We need the ability to simulate the vast majority of situations that a real home performance contractor would see in the real world, but in a controllable environment. Our contractors need to be able to not only diagnose, but implement, correct solutions to real problems found in the majority of Southwest housing stock," said Charlie Gohman, quality assurance manager for the Arizona Home Performance with Energy Star program, when asked what goals he had for the project.
Gohman had served as manager of residential energy efficiency programs for Arizona's energy office for over 20 years, and was instrumental in bringing the first centralized WAP training program to Arizona through FSL Home Improvements, which in turn created the SWBSTC.
When the American Recovery and Investment Act (ARRA) funding came to Arizona, Gohman's office suddenly found itself with the largest T&TA budget it had ever had. "We were charged with looking to the future of the residential energy efficiency programs and the markets this industry would serve. To secure this future, there would have to be a competent workforce to carry out the work. The SWBSTC was the only logical place in Arizona where we were confident that we would see a return on our investment," says Gohman.
With the task outlined and the funding secured, we hired the Moran-Downes architecture team in early 2010. We insisted that our architect attend the first few days of our WAP BootCamp course, so that he would have a better understanding of the training we are trying to accomplish with this building. With that done, we organized a meeting to design the building. Gohman and I, along with Ken Pancost from Arizona Energy Management and Vinny Pedalino from FSL, sat down with our freshly trained architect, and we started brainstorming.
Here are some key components of the proposed Super Lab that came out of that first brainstorming session:
- It had to have some sort of walk-in partially floored attic space that we could easily take ten trainees into.
- It had to have a cantilevered flooring section where we could simulate a tuck-under garage.
- It had to be built using several construction techniques that we see in the Southwest, both common and progressive ones; and it must have a centralized-return HVAC system that could mimic most pressure-related performance problems that we see in this region.
- Charlie made a rough sketch of a building that could house these key components. With this list of demands, the Moran-Downes team got to work on the initial designs. After some back-and-forth, the final drawings were delivered to us.
The CFM50 Pools
In anticipation of the first blower door test for the lab, we had two pools going. The first was an "undisclosed" pool where each person pitched in an undisclosed amount of money in order to guess the results of the test, in cubic feet per minute at 50 pascals (CFM50). The closest guess would win the money. This first pool caused quite the stir nationally—even getting a submission from someone based in Washington, D.C. The second pool was a fund-raiser for Foundation for Senior Living (FSL). Members of the local Arizona home performance community bought a number in the pool for $5. The person with the winning number would receive a $100 gift card to Home Depot. We completed the first official blower door test on March 23, 2012. (View a video of the test.) The results came in at 1,752 CFM50. Keep in mind that the lab was not complete at the time—there were a couple of doorknobs missing, and the zone controllers for two 9-inch ducts were left open in the attic—all of which resulted in additional leakage. With the building finished, we are closer to 850 CFM50. The winner of the undisclosed pool was Regis McCusker, FSL WAP auditor. And the winner of the $100 gift card was Steven R. O'Donnell, Arizona home performance contractor.
Design Overview
First floor. The first floor houses an entrance and two offices. The foundation is slab-on- grade concrete with Quad-Loc Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) walls. Some of these are 10¼ inches thick (R-22) and some are 12¼ inches thick (R-32). Both offices have pass-through vents that can be closed off to demonstrate high room pressures.
Second floor. The second floor is the main teaching props room. Thanks to Arizona's largest electricity provider, Arizona Public Service (APS), and HVAC training engineer Darrin Kramer, this room houses an advanced HVAC training area with two 2-ton split AC systems, each with its own duct system. Each duct run features an Iris-style damper to restrict flow.
One of the systems can add heat and humidity into the return stream to simulate a return duct leaking in the attic during our monsoon season. The two systems have various built-in modifications that allow us to simulate low airflows; fan bearings and motors wearing out; and the ability to pull refrigerant in and out of the system—all from a trainer-operated control panel. The two systems can be used to demonstrate improper charge levels, among other common and uncommon air-conditioning problems.
This room also features an exterior door specifically for the blower door. The walls in this section are built with 6-inch, R-23 structural insulated panels (SIPs). The floor is cantilevered, exposed, and accessible from underneath, allowing students to diagnose and fix insulation and air leakage problems within the floor and in the tuck-under garage. This room also features two identical tall windows that face south—one is low-e; the other is not.
Third floor. The third floor has an additional classroom with standard stick-built 2 x 6 framing. It has partial spray foam insulation and partial fiberglass batt insulation with some common defects built into it that students will only be able to find using infrared cameras. This room also contains a dropped soffit that will pose all sorts of leakage problems in different parts of the building—enough to have even the most experienced energy auditor scratching his head.
Fourth floor. The fourth floor is a walk-in, unconditioned attic over the props room. It has an operating high-tech zone-controlled 5-ton heat pump system, controlled by a thermostat with an IP address that allows us to control everything remotely with our tablets or smart phones. An energy recovery ventilator (ERV), and an electronically controlled fresh-air supply are there for our ASHRAE 62.2 trainings. There are various types of can light, and various types and levels of insulation, between the attic and the conditioned third floor.
Fifth floor. The fifth floor is an unconditioned attic over a classroom section—I like to call it the playroom. It is designed not so much for students learning building science, but more as a designated research area, where building science geeks can test products and techniques. This attic features a powered roof ventilator that has a damper. This allows us to draw from either or both attic sections to demonstrate how these devices will pull the conditioned air out of a home through various penetrations.
Roofing, mechanical systems, and doors. In addition to the various floors, we have three different types of roofing: asphalt shingle, concrete tile, and metal. The main heat pump has a central return system with a large chase from attic to floor, as well as a horizontal soffit that is built into the knee wall that connects the walk-in attic on the fourth floor to the classroom on the third floor, to the floor below, and out to the overhang over the main entrance door on the first floor. Several interior doors allow us to separate the supply ductwork from the return vents to cause pressure problems. There are even manual dampers that will starve the return and/or supply duct systems as needed.
Thank You
"Over the past 30 years I have seen many instances of dedication to training our workforce, but talking to the designer, builder, and trainers involved with the construction of this training lab was awe-inspiring. They have exceeded everything one might want to accelerate learning—a job more than well done!"
—John Tooley,
Senior Building Science Consultant,
Advanced Energy
I'd like this quote to stand as a tribute to all the hard work that went into this new building. From the initial sketches and ideas to the concrete guys who worked the foundation, the roofers, builders, architects, and everyone else involved. Thank you.
Future of the Super Lab
As a stand-alone training tool, this new flexible, yet controllable, lab will allow us to teach all levels of advanced pressure diagnostics, advanced HVAC diagnostics, infrared principles, core building science, and solutions to real-life problems in ways that we never could before.
We also added OmniSense and Hobo sensors throughout the lab. This will help us to conduct research in the facility. The OmniSense system will ultimately allow us to transmit temperatures, moisture levels, and humidity levels to our web site. In turn, our students can see the effects of everything they do to our home in real time, any time, from any computer or smart phone.

This high-tech lab fits perfectly into our overall training vision. We pride ourselves on our high-tech computer lab, our smart-board run classroom, our fully functional multidevice combustion lab, and DOE's distance learning program, which allows our students to sit in our classroom in Phoenix and learn our specialized high-tech craft from experts across the country in real time.
This entire project was based on a forward-looking and panoramic vision of the future of home performance. Nearly three years later, that vision has become a reality.

MLB Sluggers on the Rise: Eric Hosmer, Jay Bruce, and Paul Goldschmidt
When it comes to sleepers fantasy managers are often looking for late round picks that could contribute throughout the season. A more valuable sleeper is the talent who is already drafted in the middle rounds, but has the ability to reach superstar potential. Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer happens to fit that mold of sleeper.
The 22-year-old talent was the third overall pick of the 2008 draft. Last year he earned his first taste of Big League action and he found immediate success. The Miami native did it all. He blasted 19 home runs, swiped 11 bases, and offered a .293 average.
While Hosmer may be the Royals top young talent, he is not alone. After several years of struggles, the Royals finally have the making of a top-notch lineup with veterans such as Billy Butler and Alex Gordon joined by Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, amongst others.
This season Hosmer should take another step forward and fantasy managers considering drafting Mark Texeira in the first or second rounds are better off scooping Hosmer in the fourth or fifth rounds. He is more well-rounded than Texeira and could end up offering similar power production as well. Hosmer is one of the top sleepers in baseball even if you have to draft him in the middle rounds.
The Reds already have one megastar in the form of Joey Votto, but there may be another in the lineup. Jay Bruce actually had more buzz around him when he made his debut than Votto. The 12th pick of the 2005 draft, Bruce has been in the Big Leagues since he was 21-years old. While there have been some growing pains over the last few seasons, he has improved, and at 25-years old he should be closer to his prime this season.
Bruce has always possessed power. He already has 100 career home runs before he even turned 25. Last season was his first reaching the 30-home run plateau, as he slammed 32 round-trippers. More impressive for his sabermetric fans, Bruce offered great patience at the plate with 71 walks, which made up for his .256 batting clip.
One of the streakiest hitters in the game, Bruce blasted 12 home runs with a .342 average in May, but then hit less than .240 in three of the next four months. Fantasy managers are hoping that another year under his belt will lead to some maturity and consistency at the plate. Bruce is one of the rare talents who can slam 40 home runs with a .280-plus average. However, that's just talk of potential, and when drafting you need to take more into account.
He's already in his mid-20s, but Paul Goldschmidt could end up being a fantasy star as soon as this season. An eighth round pick out of Texas State, Goldschmidt has been a pleasant surprise in the Diamondbacks farm system.
Goldschmidt's power is legit, as he has slammed 73 round-trippers over the last two seasons. He also has cut down on his strikeouts and increased his walks the last few seasons. In his Big League debut, Goldschmidt slammed eight home runs in 48 games. He also swiped four bases, which is a pleasant surprise for a slugger.
While sluggers often take some time to develop in the Big Leagues, Goldschmidt is expected to produce as soon as this season. BloombergSports.com Front Office projects 30 home runs this season, which could land the Diamondbacks right back in the thick of the hunt for the Division Title.

China's generals believe in hitting as fast and as hard as possible, a style of warfare they demonstrated in their 1987 blitzkrieg against India. The aim is to wage "battles with swift outcome" (su jue zhan). This laser focus has been a hallmark of the wars with India in 1962 and 1987 during which they annihilated Indian Army and destroyed it and captured 10% of India up north in Aksai Chin region.
To compare India and China one just has to look at the 2012 Olympic Medal Chart !!!
China = 38 Gold Medals
India = 0 !!!!!

INDIA is one of the most unpopular countries in the world, only a rank above the least popular Rwanda, an annual poll for the BBC World Service revealed on Thursday.
More than 26,000 people from around the world were asked to rate 16 countries on whether their global influence was "mainly positive" or "mainly negative".
India came second last with only 15% looking upon it favourably, while 55% rating it as "mainly negative."
The poll was conducted for the BBC by GlobeScan and PIPA, and quizzed randomly selected people in 25 countries.

That is true. I can confirm that.
The recent communal violence in Muzaffarnagar, India has once again brought home the danger of playing politics with religious beliefs. In the past eight years, there have been nearly 11.000 thousand communal incidents across the country in India. While the casualties are countable ...... 130,965 dead and over 118,000 injured – the toll on India's economic and social fabric is beyond any metric.
Rights activists say at least 28,000 people have gone missing in Indian Occupied Kashmir since the freedom fighters began fighting in 1989 for independence from Hindu-majority India or a merger with Muslim-majority Pakistan. Indian government crackdowns have killed at least 150,000 people."

"Amnesty International is calling for an impartial investigation into mass graves found in Indian-Occupied Kashmir. Sunday, India's Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission released a report saying a three-year investigation had uncovered 2,156 unidentified bodies in 38 sites in the region.
Indian Army has been killing and raiping Kashmiris for seventy years now. India has refused to implement UN resolutions. Time has come now for India to comply with global resolutions or face sanctions. All options are on table including droning. India will be turned into an inferno, a burning hell if India does not comply

From People's World (an article summarizing recent research by Situationist Contributor Susan Fiske):
Why do people commit atrocities? What is responsible for brutality and the cold blooded murder of innocents carried out by Nazis, the Hutu in Rwanda, or the United States against the Vietnamese people and more recently much of the civilian population of Iraq? Some scientists believe they have found the answer.
ScienceDaily reports ("Brain's Failure to Appreciate Others May Permit Human Atrocities," 12-14-2011) that the part of the brain responsible for social interaction with others may malfunction resulting in callousness leading to inhumane actions towards others. Scientists at Duke and Princeton have hypothesized, in a recent study, that this brain area can "disengage" when people encounter others they think are "disgusting" and the resulting violence perpetrated against them is due to thinking these objectified others have no "thoughts and feelings."
The study, according to ScienceDaily, considers this a "shortcoming" which could account for the genocide and torture of other peoples. Examples of this kind of objectification can be seen in the calling of Jews "vermin" by the Nazis, the Tutsi "cockroaches" by the Hutu, and the American habit of calling others "gooks" (as well as other unflattering terms).
Lasana Harris (Duke) says, "When we encounter a person, we usually infer something about their minds [do they have more than one?] Sometimes, we fail to do this, opening up the possibility that we do not perceive the person as fully human." I wonder about this? What is meant by fully human? Surely the Hutu, for example, who had lived with the Tutsi for centuries, did not really fail to infer that they had "minds."
Practicing something called "social neuroscience" which seems to consist of showing different people pictures while they are undergoing an MRI and then drawing conclusions from which areas of the brain do or do not "light up" when asked questions about these pictures, the scientists conducting this study discovered that an area of the brain dealing with "social cognition"– i.e., feelings, thoughts, empathy, etc., "failed to engage" when pictures of homeless people, drug addicts, and others "low on the social ladder" were shown.
Susan Fiske (Princeton) remarked, "We need to think about other people's experience. It's what makes them fully human to us." ScienceDaily adds the researchers were struck by the fact that "people will easily ascribe social cognition– a belief in an internal life such as emotions– to animals and cars, but will avoid making eye contact with the homeless panhandler in the subway."

Michelle Teheux: Another reason to go beyond ACA
The Supreme Court just presented us with the best possible argument in favor of a single-payer health care system.
Rather than the Affordable Care Act, the single-payer option would offer some big advantages, such as nixing employers' attempts to control what kind of birth control their employees use.
Switching to single-payer would mean these decisions could again be made by the individual in consultation with his (in the case of vasectomies) or her doctor, rather than having to take into consideration what the employee's corporate overlords considered the correct method of contraception.
I'm not unsympathetic to the religious views of those who don't agree with one method of contraception or another. I think it's important to note, however, that corporations don't have any religious views. Only people have religious views. Also, the employer is providing insurance as part of a benefits package the employee has earned. Nobody is giving away health insurance to their employees as a gift, any more than they are giving away paychecks. The employees are earning their money and benefits, and if they decide to stop showing up for work, their employer will stop providing pay and insurance forthwith.
We need to remove employers from the health care debate altogether. It isn't any of their concern whatsoever whether their employees choose one form of birth control or another. The appearance that they are paying for the contraception (even though they really are not) has served to give them a voice they shouldn't have.
Imagine if we paid for national defense through payroll deduction. You'd have some people insisting they did not want any of their money to go toward purchasing weapons. Others would say they were OK with throwing their money toward guns, but no bombs. Or rocket launchers are OK, but absolutely no nukes. Etc.
We are all funding things that we don't agree with, because there's no way to always be fair. Sorry to break that to you.
Single-payer has always been my first choice of a health care system. It works well in many other countries, where the citizens are mystified by so many Americans' all-out panic at the idea. We stubbornly insist we have the best health care system in the world, even though a tiny bit of research would show that other countries spend far less per capita on health care and have far better outcomes. It's willful ignorance.
I never thought the ACA was the last word in health care. I always hoped we'd eventually get to single-payer, and maybe the ACA could be a step toward that eventual goal.
One thing we wouldn't see, with single-payer, is any corporation trying to convince anybody that it couldn't stand the idea of being involved in any way with a woman choosing to use contraceptives, because the money would be muddled up much the way money going toward munitions is muddled up. I can't say my tax dollars explicitly went toward buying the bomb that drone dropped. I couldn't say my tax dollars explicitly went toward helping pay for birth control pills for that woman who is in no way prepared for motherhood.
And one more thing. Let the 99 percent of us women who have used birth control stop being embarrassed to talk about it. Yes, sometimes some of us have used the pill to regulate our menstrual cycles or to clear up severe acne or to treat endometriosis, and some of us have chosen to have our tubes tied or our husbands have chosen vasectomies because we have a serious medical problem that would make pregnancy dangerous.
But for most of us, we use contraception simply because we don't want to get pregnant at this particular time, or perhaps not ever, and we are having sex for reasons of pleasure and intimacy, not reproduction.
That's the reason why almost everybody has sex, and it's why we need effective contraception available to every single person who wants it.
The Affordable Care Act ought to have accomplished that. Since it can't, all the more reason to move on to single-payer.

If you were a passenger in a single-engine aircraft that's minutes from making a crash landing, would you 1- write notes to loved ones in case you don't make it out alive, 2- wet yourself while screaming "We're all gonna die", or 3- both 1 and 2.
During a birthday flight (a birthday flight!) over Cache County in Utah recently, passenger Jonathan Fielding did none of the above. Instead, when the pilot told him the plane's engine was seizing up, he grabbed his smartphone and filmed the rather nerve-racking journey back to terra firma.
Fielding was on board the Cessna 175 plane with his wife (it was her first ever flight), their seven-month-old baby son and his wife's mother.
With the pilot anxiously looking for somewhere to bring the plane down, Fielding, with admirable calmness, reassures his family that everything will be OK, uttering the following lines as the plane descends to Earth:
– "This is kind of exciting."
– "We're looking for a place to land."
– "It's kinda scary and kinda exciting at the same time."
– "I'm not worried."
– "I think we're gonna be just fine."
And all this while still managing to compose some delightful shots of Utah's stunning wintry landscape. The pilot, however, remains silent, hopefully deep in concentration rather than busy internally disagreeing with everything Fielding is saying.
Ninety seconds into the extraordinary video, the plane crashes onto a snow-covered field, finishing upside down and pretty beaten up. Miraculously, everyone on board walked away from the wrecked aircraft relatively unharmed.
"The pilot was experienced in field landings but unfortunately the snow caused the landing gear to sever from the plane, flipping the plane front to back and smashing the tail before it came to a rest upside down," Fielding wrote after the incident. "No one was hurt in the accident save for bruises, whiplash and minor cuts."
Fielding kept his phone running throughout the descent and crash landing, though the impact caused it to fly out of his hand. At the end of the video, Fielding asks his wife, "Will you ever fly again?" to which she replies, somewhat bravely, "Yes."

Below, we've posted titles and a brief quotation from some of our favorite non-Situationist situationist blogging during October 2008. (They are listed in alphabetical order by source.)
* * *
From Nueronarrative: "Certainty Takes the Stand: A Discussion with Robert Burton"
"In On Being Certain, neurologist Robert Burton challenges his readers to ask one of the most basic—and crucial—of questions: how do we know what we know? With an engaging, conversational style, he tackles the neuropsychological underpinnings of belief and certainty, carefully examining these ubiquitous dynamics in light of what is known about how the mind works." Read more . . .
From Nueronarrative: "The Lucifer Effect: An Interview with Dr. Philip Zimbardo"
"Social psychologist [and Situationist contributor] Philip Zimbardo has been studying the anatomy of human psychology for nearly four decades. In the summer of 1971, Dr. Zimbardo created the classic Stanford Prison Experiment, a simulation of prison life that investigated a provocative question: what happens when you put good people in an evil place? The results were dramatic, and launched a decades-long journey to discover how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. . . . In The Lucifer Effect, Dr. Zimbardo takes the reader through this often dark journey, and in the process sheds light on topics ranging from corporate malfeasance to torture at Abu Ghraib to organized genocide." Read more . . .
From Psychology Today: "A dollar is a dollar is a dollar…Right?"
"Despite the great flexibility that money permits us, people have trouble treating every dollar the same as every other dollar. Here are two examples." Read more . . .
From Psychology Today: "The Kid-Ceiling: Women Feel It Long Before Seeing Glass-Ceiling"
"The kid-ceiling seems to have little or no effect on Sarah Palin, but for most women who work having a family alters their income, their ability to advance, and their well-being. All is not right in the world of women's work and the glaring deficiencies force women to move in the direction of the smaller, new traditional family. In this post I look at some of the more telling issues and facts. The more children you have, the more likely you'll feel the impact of the kid-ceiling long before you see the glass-ceiling." Read more . . .
From The Splintered Mind: "Six Ways to Know Your Mind"
"Philosophers often provide accounts of self-knowledge as though we knew our own minds either entirely or predominantly in just one way (Jesse Prinz is a good exception to the rule, though). But let me count the ways (saving the fun ones for the end)." Read more . . .

Your Midday Pick 4 results for Sunday March 19, 2023 are as follows:
Did you get lucky today or not? Remember, you can come back to this page shortly after each draw in order to find out if you are holding the winning numbers.
Need more options? Don't disregard games like Lightning Roulette, which features has a hand-crafted wheel, an immensely engaging and educated live vendor, and the full exhibit of roulette wagers. Additional options would be American Roulette, which is played on a wheel which presents 38 numbers containing boxes 0 and 00 or European Roulette. The European roulette wheel has 37 divisions, where numbers from 1 to 36 and 0 can be found.
They say you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than at winning the lottery. If the math is right, the odds of winning in a pick-6 game is 1 in 14 million. Is it ever worth playing, or is it just a waste of money?
If you're looking for strategies on how to win, you'll find that a lot of these tips don't work. That's because, at the heart of it, the lottery is largely influenced by probabilities. But fear not—you can still follow these:
- Gather your friends and create a lottery pool: If we're talking about strategies, you don't increase your odds by playing frequently, but by playing a lot of tickets. By having a pool, everyone can chip in in terms of resources and then have all play as one.
- Measure which games have the best odds: Different games, different rules—that's pretty much clear for anyone playing the lottery. Different prices, different payouts, too. Before jumping into the fray, do your research and see which ones can provide you with the best odds. Think of scratch cards—they have smaller payouts, yes, but often have better odds. It's up to you to weigh which one is more of a priority.
- Don't be afraid to play rare numbers: What you're going for here is a bigger payout. Since everybody else is gunning for the popular or lucky numbers, it is more than likely that when someone wins, they will not be alone and will be sharing the pot with a few more. By choosing to go with a more unique combination, you are also increasing the likelihood that you will be the only winner.
- Second chances for the win: The back of your lottery ticket may be the key for a future payout since you can use this to play for another round if you don't win the first time. Simply fill out the form, and you're good to go—you don't even have to shell out the extra dough. Many lotteries offer this opportunity, so don't toss your ticket to the bin just yet.
Did you know that?
- Bill Morgan, an Australian national was once pronounced dead but was revived 14 minutes later. To celebrate the occasion, he bought a scratch-off lottery ticket and won a car worth $17,000. While he was being interviewed about his luck, he won another $250,000 jackpot.
- The "Speed Camera Lottery" is an electronic traffic monitoring system in Sweden that automatically enters drivers who drive at or below the speed limit. The winnings come from fines paid by speeders.
- More people would rather win the lottery than find true love.
- French writer Voltaire was an early lottery winner.
- Around 70% of 20- to 30-somethings buy at least one lottery ticket per year. Approximately 45% of seniors age 70 or older buy at least one lottery ticket per year.
- Very few winners opt for plastic surgery after a lottery windfall.
- 48% of winners keep their day jobs.
- 44 states: the number of US states that participate in the lottery. Six states have opted out: Utah, Alabama, Alaska, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Nevada. Nevada does not participate because the state already benefits from gambling profits.
- A former math professor (who clearly knows a thing or two about odds) has won the lottery four times: $5.4 million the first time, $2 million a decade later, $3 million two years after that, and finally, $10 million in 2010.
Celebrities, authors and journalists have mused about the lottery for centuries. Among a sea of quotes, here are a couple of great ones about the lottery:
"People would love to be rich, but they're looking for the easy way. Who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Just to score." – Bryan Cranston
"My first audition was for a commercial for the lottery. I didn't get it, so I hate the lottery." – Kat Dennings

The Orange County District Attorney's Office Tuesday filed charges against hip-hop singer Jay "Young Jeezy" Jenkins and five others for allegedly possessing an illegal assault weapon at a concert venue in Irvine, a spokeswoman said.
The charges followed a fatal shooting at a tour stop in Mountain View over the weekend.
Jenkins, 36, was charged with felony possession of an assault weapon, as were David Robert Kuniansky-Altman, 31, Alexa Beason, 53, Peter Arthur Maynard, 38, William Paul Gilmore, 48, and Kena Jermaine Marshall, 39, according to district attorney's office spokeswoman Farrah Emami.
The three-page complaint against the defendants was filed this afternoon in Orange County Superior Court in Newport Beach.
Prosecutors allege that the six defendants possessed an assault weapon on a tour bus on Sunday, the day they were arrested by Irvine and Mountain View police at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, Emami said.
When he was arrested Sunday, Jenkins had been on tour for concerts with the headliner Wiz Khalifa. He had performed at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on Friday night when Eric Johnson, a 38-year-old man from Orinda, was shot to death backstage, according to Mountain View police.
Police obtained search warrants at the Irvine venue for Jenkins and the five others, Mountain View police said.
The criminal complaint filed Tuesday further charged Maynard and Marshall each with felony counts of being in possession of a separate firearm, for being felons in possession of a firearm and for possession of ammunition.
Maynard has a previous conviction for criminal conspiracy in Georgia in 2008 and Marshall has one for possessing marijuana with the intent to sell in 1995, also in Georgia, according to the filing.
Prosecutors listed recommended bail amounts of $1 million for each of the accused except for Maynard, who had no bail amount listed.
No one has been arrested in connection with Johnson's death, police said.

[Eran Elhalal, food consultant, (about to become a restaurateur) chef extraordinaire, brings us a delicious Passover cake recipe and accompanying photos. He provides the gebroks and non-gebroks version. CS]
Pesach Almond -Pistachio Cake
12 Servings
The origin of this recipe is the Italian Baci De Dama or Lady's Kisses, a festive hazelnut cake. I replaced the flour for sifted Matzo meal and based the cake on fresh ground almonds and pistachios, to make it more our own.
[For the non-gebroks version of this delectable dessert, use potato or tapioca starch instead of the matzoh meal. Make sure, however, that you mix it well with the nuts before incorporating into the wet mixture, or the starch may clump up.]
Cake base:
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups ground almonds
3/4 cup ground pistachios
1/4 cup sifted matzoh meal
5 eggs separated
pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tbsp crushed pistachios ( Garnish)
4 ozs confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 Tbsp warm water
1. Whisk egg yolks and gradually incorporate 1 cup of the sugar.Continue until the batter is bright and fluffy.In a separate bowl mix the nuts , matzo meal, oil and then incorporate vanilla and lemon zest.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites with the salt first, and then gradually whisk in the rest of the sugar until stiff peaks are formed.
3. Fold the egg whites into the nuts mixture gently only until combined.
4. Grease an 8 inch round baking pan.Pour the batter into the pan.
5. Insert into a 350 degree preheated oven , and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry.
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
7. Prepare the frosting by whisking the lemon juice, confectionery sugar and warm water well.
8. Spread evenly on the cake and sprinkle the crushed Pistachios .
For a truly heavenly gastronomic experience, pair this cake with a glass of Tzora Or 2006, a delicious wine from one of Israel's boutique wineries. It is made Made from Gewurztraminer grapes, deep frozen for two months after harvesting. After 24 hours of thawing only the first drips of grape juice will be used for this potable. The gold colored wine is filled with honey and tropical fruits on the nose. Full bodied on the mouth, citrus, pinneaple and a hint of mint.
If this wine is not available, another great choice (more economically priced) is the Carmel Sha'al Gewurztaminer 2006 or 2007, otherwise, any dessert wine will most certainly suffice.

Dog lost in 60-vehicle pileup returned to owners after two weeks
YREKA – Miracles do happen, and nobody knows that better than Chris and Jackie Fyhr of Seattle, Wash.
When the couple became entangled in the 60-vehicle pileup north of Yreka on Dec. 18 and their frightened dog Yuna, a German Shepherd mix, dashed off to escape the commotion, Fyhr said he was "devastated." He thought he may never see Yuna again. Nearly two weeks later, a loving couple rescued Yuna and she was reunited with her owners – who drove from Seattle to pick her up and bring her home.
Fyhr said the incident began when he and Jackie were making a permanent move from Las Vegas, Nev. to Seattle in an SUV with their two dogs nestled in the back cargo area. While traveling northbound on Interstate 5 outside of Yreka during the evening of Dec. 18, they came upon the 60-vehicle pileup.
When he observed the series of collisions, Fyhr said he successfully pulled onto the shoulder and made a complete stop. However, within 30 seconds of stopping, a vehicle struck the rear of his SUV, causing it to spin.
"That was definitely terrifying. I didn't know if we were gonna go down the canyon," he said. "My very first thought was my dogs. Our vehicle had been hit in the cargo area where my dogs were."
The Fyhrs immediately opened their doors to check on their dogs. The petrified Yuna bolted out the door onto I-5 and disappeared into the darkness while the other dog hovered, shivering in the cargo area.
"We tried for hours to find Yuna," said Fyhr. He added that even emergency response personnel joined the search for Yuna after injured victims had been transported and authorities began clearing the scene of the collisions. However, Yuna was nowhere to be found.
"It was absolutely horrible," said Fyhr.
Ultimately, the couple had to make their way to Seattle without Yuna.
Then, on Dec. 29, Anderson Grade Road resident Maureen Wagner said she and her husband Charles Zepp saw a strange dog on the hill next to their property.
"The dog was skittish and ran each time we tried to approach, so we put a large bowl of food out on the patio and went inside the house," said Wagner.
They watched as the dog warily walked up to the bowl and ravenously ate all the contents. Then, the dog backed away but stayed close to the house.
Next, Wagner and Zepp left a large ham bone for the dog, who retrieved it and disappeared up the hillside.
The following day, Wagner said she saw the dog again on the hillside.
"This time, I placed a bowl of dog food by the front gate. She came by, ate and then stayed," said Wagner.
She said when she approached the dog, she was able to get close enough to grab her collar and coax her through the gate.
"Once inside the yard she allowed us to pet her and we were able to read the tags on her collar," said Wagner. As it turned out, the dog's name was Yuna.
One tag had a Nevada phone number and address. When she called, Wagner said the number was disconnected. Next, she called the number on the rabies tag and was able to obtain a cellular number.
"Jackie, who answered the phone, was overcome with joy when she heard the words, 'we have your dog,'" said Wagner. "She screamed, sobbed, laughed and kept repeating, 'is she okay?'"
Fyhr told the Daily News that he and his wife were shocked and surprised that their dog had been found.
"Emotions flooded out at that point," said Fyhr. "We were elated that Yuna had been found. It had been almost two weeks."
Fyhr made arrangements to meet Zepp at the Collier Rest Area to retrieve the pooch. He and his brother traveled from Seattle to the rest area to pick up Yuna. The reunion took place on Dec. 31 at 8 a.m. Then, they headed back to Seattle.
"What a fantastic way to start the new year," said Wagner. "Yuna was home again on New Year's Eve. It was wonderful to be able to return her to her owners."
Fyhr said he was overcome by the kindness and compassion of Wagner and Zepp, as well as the rescue personnel who took the time to help him and his wife search for Yuna at the time of the vehicle collisions.
"We want to express our gratitude to Charles Zepp and Maureen Wagner," said Fyhr. "We are so grateful Yuna was found."
