writerLJBergOregon 2.95/5 rDev -30.3% look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3 12 oz bottle consumed on 1-24-13. Reviewed from notes A: Translucent copper color with a settled foam on top. Bubbles speckle the glass. N: Oak, soap, and grapefruit. A deeper inspection reveals grass, pineapple, and caramel sweetness. Pine and tree bark aromatics. Biscuit, straw, and honey. Good. T: Bittersweet. Spruce is the front end dominant flavor with a biting brulee of burnt sugar in the middle. Yee gods, this is harsh, and not in a West Coast hop way. Pepper corn and dried pineapple combine into a divergent taste, so figure that out. Very tannic; lots and lots of oak. More bitterness, yet, somehow cloyingly sweet like hopped honey in a barrel. M: Biting and sticky. Alcohol carries a hobo shotgun with Rutger Hauer. O: Oak and hops can work, but when they don't, they lead to this abrasive assault. I can't believe the ratings for this one. Have a 2011 Doggie Claws instead.

Creamy head dissapates quickly. Oak contributes a subtle nose of vanilla. Malt, fruit and trace hop aroma. A medley of flavours. Hop and malts meld to apricot, caramel and notes of berry. Also picking up on earthy notes. Full bodied brew that is extremely forward and toot sweet on the palate. Very cloying IMO. The sweetness hides any bitterness. Tough sipper for me. Had a few of these as I really wanted to love this DFH. Will put the other 2 in the cellar. November 2013 Getting more hops and bourbon than the cloying mess. More of a Barleywine than a DIPA. Still not my style-scoring remains the same.

Bottled 11/12/12 poured into a DFH ipa glass. Appearance is dark red amber and opaque with a cream head with good thickness and retention. Oak flavors are powerful with some malty sweetness, hoppy pine resin is present but as expected subdued. Taste is mildly hoppy, medium bitterness, moderate sweetness, a little alcohol present, woody oak flavors on the back end. Mouthfeel is medium carbonation, medium to large body, smooth, a little sticky on the finish, mildly dry. Overall I much prefer this fresh though it held up nicely. Drinks more like an average oaky, mildly hoppy barleywine than an ipa at this point.

This beer is full bodied. Thick and rich with a creamy white head. Sweet and malty up front. You do take notice of the alcohol. Surprisingly smooth and easy to drink for such a high abv beer. Not much bitterness, but I get some citrus hops mid way. I get the oak flavor in the finish. A little boozy, and a little pricey. Not an every day beer, but it makes for a great treat on occasion.

Huge head of off slightly off white creaminess. Lightly clouded roasted pumpkin colored fluid that shows little carbonation. Quite a bit of lace. Smell is one tick short of sublime. Deep, rich, velvety malt shows caramel and whole grain biscuit. Just a trace of alcohol sweetness and mild citrusy hops. Vanilla and oak caress the back of my nose. Taste is a willing accomplice.Toasty caramel malt with oak and vanilla caressing the tongue with a minty herbal hops in the finish. lovely velvet tongue. Mild carbonation with a drinkable persona. Goes down way too easy in fact. A superb oaked DIPA that leans toward drinkability instead of tongue scraping bitterness. Serving type: bottle 01-11-2013 03:26:21 | More by scootny boilermakerbrewMissouri 4.03/5 rDev -4.7% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 A- This brew pours a deep, deep, golden to amber color. A small, one finger, frothy head forms and retains very well. The lacing is also good. Clarity is very good. All in all, one of the darkest and best looking IIPA pours I've seen. S- All hops on the nose. Big pine notes morph into floral hop notes. Slight oak notes are also present, balancing out the hops with a little bit of sweetness. Not much malt is detectable in the scent. T- More of a hop bomb than on the scent. Hops bitterness starts the drink and dominates throughout. About midway through the drink the oak characteristics make an appearance. The oak gives a little sweetness like in the scent but on the whole bumps up the bitterness of the hops. A harsh alcohol flavor also peeks in for a second among the oak and hops. Mellows out at the end with some sweeter notes and lingering hops bitterness on the tongue. M- This one is a little hot. The alcohol is detectable, but not overpowering. More of a sipper. High levels of carbonation and a thicker texture. Overall, this isn't a bad beer, but the oak flavors and high hops bitterness is a little off-putting. This is more of a beer for IPA lovers. I gave it a chance, and it's not bad, but it's also not my cup of tea...or beer. Serving type: bottle 01-05-2013 01:15:39 | More by boilermakerbrew justintcoonsPennsylvania 4.38/5 rDev +3.5% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Appearance Rusty amber with less than a fingers worth of head that dissipates quickly. Cloudy with low carbonation. Nose Grapefruit zest, orange cream, pine needles, lemon, caramel and toffee. Taste Grapefruit juice, orange cream, lemon meringue and pine sap. Touches of peach and papaya with suggestions of lime. The backbone is perfectly balanced with caramel, toffee and candy sugar. Just a touch of naked oak on the finish. Mouthfeel Medium-full bodied, oily, smooth and sticky. Overall Aging this with oak staves really mellows this out and makes for exceptional drinkability. I forgot how good this stuff is. One of Dogfish's best. Serving type: bottle 01-03-2013 13:55:12 | More by justintcoons jrenihanOntario (Canada) 4.1/5 rDev -3.1% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Bottled November 12, 2012. Copper in colour, with a moderately-sized off-white head. The oak jumps out the most in the nose, followed by a nice dose of caramel malt and juicy, citrus hops. Orange, grapefruit. Some pine. It all melds very well together, the oak modifying and complementing the hops and malt. Like the nose, oak is upfront in the taste, pretty strong. Caramel malt after that. The hops are present (some citrus and pine) but I find they get a bit overcome by the oak. Booze is noticeable but not overly so considering the high ABV. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Slightly oily. Overall, quite good. The aroma is great but I don't find the taste to quite live up to it. Oak is a bit much in the taste but nicely blended in the nose. Serving type: bottle 01-01-2013 23:35:33 | More by jrenihan brewtusOhio 4.35/5 rDev +2.8% look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5 Drank on 12/20/2012 Pours dark copper with a two finger head, nice lacing . Nice nose; oaky, dark fruit, hops obviously, apricots. Taste is very balanced, the oak doesn't overpower the hops or vise versa. Nice dark fruit flavors. Over all I like this one a lot, a great oak aged ale that finds the perfect balance between hops and oak. Serving type: bottle 12-30-2012 17:03:09 | More by brewtus TBoneJonesTexas 4.28/5 rDev +1.2% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Since I scored a couple new 4-packs not long ago, I figure it's time to rotate stock and try from a 1-year+ aged batch (bottled 7/20/11): Pours thick, bubbly, cloudy apple cider-colored brew with a thick 1-finger-width head that soon fades. Smells mildly of bread, oak and an apple-like citrus type scent. Sweet. Wow it's been awhile but I think putting age on this does wonders. While my mouth is coated by the alcohol and the woody oak flavor, the tingling hops round this out as such to remind me this is still a double IPA. It all balances out. What must be the vanilla I'm interpreting as an acidic, cider-like flavor. That works for me since I'm usually not a fan of vanilla in my beer. This is also malty and sweet, but it all works. Woody, earthy, burning, bitter. It's like I'm sipping a smoothly blended whiskey that happens to be a beer, and I don't recall that sensation when drinking this fresh as I always have in the past. Age this. I'm going to do so even longer than planned for my remaining bottles of this DFH top-shelfer. Mouthfeel is medium carbonation, smooth and biting. Pleasant sipping. Serving type: bottle 12-29-2012 05:27:54 | More by TBoneJones CornellAquiredFlorida 5/5 rDev +18.2% look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5 I may be being dramatic, but this blend of American beers (which have been 'pickled' If you will, in an oak barrel) may be the best American style beer I've had. Right away, after you open and taste, you get sweetness, and then bold strong ale that comes after. Not harsh, but smooth and subtle like good whiskey. I'm not one for imaginative fruits and spices, what I taste is craftsmanship. But there is a syrup/molasses scent emitting from my glass. A very rich, enjoyable aroma. I don't think there is another American style brew that can top this off. If you come across Burton Baton, buy it. IT'S Very, very, good. Serving type: bottle 12-29-2012 01:12:38 | More by CornellAquired vfgccpNew York 3.83/5 rDev -9.5% look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 A - Eggshell white head sits low with poor retention and ok lace. Great color on a clear apricot body orange body. S - Bitter woods, grapefruit, maybe a hint of cardamon, touch of bready sweetness. T - Grapefruit pith bitters, Werther's caramel, resiny spruce, oak, tobacco, bready malt. M - Medium-full body. Low carbonation. O - Not bad, but not outrageous. The flavor profile falls a little flat about mid way through the profile, and it could use just a shade more carbonation. Serving type: bottle 12-28-2012 02:16:05 | More by vfgccp GuyIncognitoMaine 4.83/5 rDev +14.2% look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 This is one of the best beers I've had in the past year. An absolute beauty. It smells of wood and hops simultaneously. Beautiful amber color, and a smooth but hoppy taste. Mellow and exilirating at the same time, there is no way this is 10% abv! But it is. Oh, it is. My favorite Dogfish beer by far. A masterpiece. Serving type: bottle 12-25-2012 01:35:45 | More by GuyIncognito duracellQuebec (Canada) 4.43/5 rDev +4.7% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 12oz bottle into a snifter. A - Pours a copper color, slightly cloudy. 1-finger, off-white head with a medium retention and a limited lacing. No sign of carbonation coming from the bottom of the glass. 4/5 S - Very nice blend of oak,smoothing the hoppy character with tropical fruits and floral notes. Malt is well present and balances nicely the rest and adds some fruity aromas to it (mostly peach and apricot). 4.5/5 T - Taste is first dominated by hops and alcohol with a good spiciness. Malt gets bigger in the middle of the mouth and the oak dominates at the end and lingers. 4.5/5 M - Lively carbonation, semi-dry finish. Alcohol is certainly there, throughout the experience, but is nicely balanced by the malt. 4/5 O - An awesome beer with an excellent complexity. Alcohol might be a bit intimidating but, in my opinion, it really adds something to it and is never overpowering. Seek it out! 4.5/5 Serving type: bottle 12-22-2012 23:42:18 | More by duracell yamar68Minnesota 4.33/5 rDev +2.4% look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Amber gold body, loads of beading, soapy finger of cream colored head that sits pretty stubbornly... some spotty lacing. Oak, vanilla, a wide array of hop qualities that don't seem to really take any one direction, it reminds me a bit of Great Divide's Anniversary BA IIPA. Vanilla, warming wood notes, hops, awesome. Some caramel/butterscotch/toffee surfaces on the tongue, bold hop flavors take a back seat to these dessert notes and vanilla/oak. Lovely stuff. This is such an underbrewed style of beer... would love to see more breweries take a swing at this. DFH was one of the first, and they nailed it pretty early on. Serving type: bottle 12-21-2012 20:05:11 | More by yamar68 happy4hoppybeerPennsylvania 4/5 rDev -5.4% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Pours a nice dark copper, with half-inch white head. A little bubbly lacing on the side, but not spectacular. Nice aromas of the advertised oak staves, with malted barley in the background. Some dark fruits, dried raisins. Smooth body, medium level of carbonation. Can taste the oak, barley and a good hop presence. Neither which overwhelms another. The hops are actually played down here, in favor of the more malty presence, and the obvious oak barrel. A good alcohol presence is noted and obvious. This a decent beer, nothing great or wowing, but worthy of a try, especially on a cold/rainy winter day. Serving type: bottle 12-20-2012 21:27:40 | More by happy4hoppybeer macrosmaticFlorida 3.75/5 rDev -11.3% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Reviewed from notes. Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a CCB pint glass. A: Clear, dark gold with a thin white head and lots of visible carbonation. S: Pine & citrus hops, and biscuity and caramel malts. T: Follows the nose. Pine & citrus pith from the hops, a bit of woody dryness. Caramel notes from the oak at the end. As a note of comparison, the oak flavors are not nearly as caramelly as CCB's White Oak Jai Alai. M: Relatively light body, a little sticky/dank mouthfeel. The alcohol is noticeable at the end, but acceptable given its high ABV. O: This is all right. I had some higher hopes for this beer. I wouldn't refuse another if offered. I've got one more bottle I'm going to sit on for awhile to see what happens to it. Serving type: bottle 12-18-2012 03:56:02 | More by macrosmatic GoogsNew York 3.7/5 rDev -12.5% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5 Poured from bottle aggressively into a pint glass. A: Dark golden/auburn body. Inch of an off white foamy head. S: Grassy, floral hops right upfront followed by some sweet citrus and a nice hint of oak and breadyness. T: Hops are present here, it's bitter on the finish but not what I was expecting. The flavors I'm getting from the malts and wood are sweet toffee and perhaps a small touch of vanilla. Hops bring some citrus and pine notes into the formula. I'm tasting the booze, it has quite a bite. M: Medium, not as heavy as others could be, Solid carbonation. It's also not very resinous like other double IPA's are. Again I think it's pretty hot, the taste isn't pleasant enough for me to drink a ton of, and the heat just stayed in mouth. Too much. O: I'm not sure if it was the booze being too forward, or the balance of this beer just being off but it's a bit hard for me to drink, I poured the few remaining ounces down the drain. I like my big beers too, I was sippin' BT and White Chocolate last night but this one didn't rub me the right way. But maybe this brew will be so much better in a year with some time to mellow out, right now it's a hot mess. Serving type: bottle 12-16-2012 03:09:13 | More by Googs diddlyNew York 4.35/5 rDev +2.8% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 Poured into a tulip glass from a bottle. Pours a beautiful rich amber, with a thin off-white head, which hangs around some throughout, Aroma is sweet, with some notes of alcohol, and a bit of piney bitterness. Flavor is wonderfully rich, with good bitterness, and a ton of woody oak character. The alcohol definitely comes through and keeps the hop flavor down somewhat, although the bitterness shines through. Mouthfeel is towards the heavy side, as expected for the style. Overall a very good beer, but doesn't have the hop character I would generally expect from an imperial IPA. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though - the oak, sweetness, and hints of alcoholic warmth fill out the beer very nicely. Serving type: bottle 12-11-2012 04:13:26 | More by diddly CMUbrewMichigan 4.15/5 rDev -1.9% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 12oz bottle into a DFH snifter Bottled 9/28/12 A: Dark amber/copper in color. The white head that formed on top faded farily quickly into thin, spotty foam, though this is to be expected in a high ABV beer. Barely any lacing to speak of. S: Hoppy pine, dark fruitiness, dark candi syrup, thick malts, maybe a slight hint of wood character. As it warms, alcohol comes through and the dark fruits are slightly accentuated. T: Similar to the nose. Initially a muted pine for the hops, accompanied by a present, but not aggressive dark fruitiness. Malts are sweet. Some wood aging characteristics can be perceived. Again, as it warms the alcohol comes through along with some more dark fruit flavors. M: The mouthfeel is about where it should be for this beer. The wood aging really mellows the beer and makes it so smooth. Slick, but only slightly oily and coating. This would really be a 4.25 if I could, but a 4 would not do it justice. O: The biggest takeaway for me is that while dark fruit flavors were present, they were also welcome. I usually hate dark fruit, but this did not have the raisin puree flavor I typically find in beers with dark fruit characters. That being said, taste was still not mind blowing. I wanted more hops. I am currently wishing I had opened this beer a couple months ago when I bought it. I also would have likely for more barrel characters to show up, but I am splitting hairs. This was a surprisingly good beer for me. Serving type: bottle 12-10-2012 00:15:48 | More by CMUbrew TheBigLebrewskiMichigan 4.25/5 rDev +0.5% look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 Following an Oaked Arrogant Bastard; shockingly sweet in comparison. Well, it looks better. Golden-red with a thick, long-retaining head just on the cream side of white. General berry-sweet fruit in the scent; gentle malt is apparent, and a little sweet-hop aroma. In terms of flavor, this beer, while being hugely enjoyable, is more sweet than I want it to be. It hints at hops and wood at every stage of a sip, but never gives enough of either. The mouthfeel is detrimentally effected by the sweetness. My mouth candied up with improper ecstasy that I'd rather spend on bitterness or sourness. If I knew a lady that enjoyed beer, flowers, and sweets, I'd buy her every bottle of this I could. And I guess I'd hold onto a few for safe-keeping. Overall, this is another version of a 'big-bad-wannabe-macro-but-good' beer that I'd recommend, but wouldn't quite serve to impress my beer buddies. It's fucking good, but that's all it is. And did I mention it's weirdly sweet? I really wish this one sat on wood a good while longer, and at least another hop addition would have done is justice. Last word: very good, but.... well, give one to your non-beer-geek friends to get them on the path to great beers. Serving type: bottle 12-09-2012 09:30:55 | More by TheBigLebrewski BeerandboardsNew Mexico 3.98/5 rDev -5.9% look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4 Poured from a 12oz bottle into a standard pint A - pours a hazy copper, about a 1 inch head that retains quite well throughout. Medium to high level of lacing on the glass. Small bubbles cascade up through the pint. Don't know what else you could ask for appearance wise. S - smell is muted. There is some ripe oranges, tropical fruit notes, some woodiness. Smells good, but a little light on aroma. T - solid. Rich tropical fruit and ripe citrus. Nice even bitterness. Trademark DFH maltiness adds a really nice backbone to the flavor profile. Lots of woody barrel in the finish. End with a good bit of alcohol drying. Aftertaste brings back the tropical and citrus notes. Tasty and different. Executes the barrel aging very well with the blend of fresh and barrel aged brews. M - nails it here, carb and body are spot on. Perhaps a little lower than normal carb, but seems close to perfect to me. O - nice brew. The barrel element added a nice piece of complexity. Managed to blend the hops, malt and barrel very well. Each element is complex on its own, but doesn't fight the others. I think maybe this would have been a tad better at 8% ABV rather than 10%, as its pretty hot. But, I will certainly track this down again.

The head is slightly off white and thick and fluffy with sticky lacing left all over. Lots of fruit(orange, peach, mango, grapefruit) on this which was surprising to me coming from DFH. The oak barrel is there providing some slight vanilla. The alcohol is fairly evident. There is also a pleasant floral rose aroma. Can't wait to dive into this thing. The bitterness and alcohol provide a bite here. The taste isn't as great as the smell due to the alcohol. It's got the grapefruit citrusy hops. A little pine. Sweet caramel and bready malt. The finish is dry leaving a oaky flavor. Medium bodied beer that is smooth and creamy. This took me by surprise. If not for all the alcohol flavor I would kick the taste to a 4. A great beer for sure and the beer dude at the store said it is now year round which is cool. An aged bottle would be interesting to try.

UN investigators urge Security Council to refer Syria to ICC [New TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Female #1
Our representative in New York, Samer Nader, reported that Lakhdar Brahimi will present a report on the results of his visit to Damascus at the United Nations General Assembly meeting that will be held at the end of the month. And regarding the impact of the ongoing violence and clashes in Syria, Cairo is hosting a ministerial meeting for the "contact group" on Syria, while UN investigators seek to refer the violations case to the International Criminal Court.
Reporter, Female #2
Cairo is hosting the first ministerial-level meeting for the four-way contact group on Syria, which includes Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, in the presence of UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi. In this framework, Brahimi briefed the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Nabil al-Arabi, on the results of his visit to Damascus, and his meetings with President Bashar al-Assad, the opposition, and civil society representatives.
Reporter, Female #2
On the other had, UN investigators made a recommendation to the Security Council to refer the case of Syrian violations to the International Criminal Court, and to take the appropriate procedures. While presenting his report at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the chair of the Commission of Inquiry, Paulo Pinheiro, announced that human rights violations in Syria have recently witnessed an increase in number, pace, and intensity.
Reporter, Female #2
The spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry called on all parties of the Syrian crisis to immediately end all violations of human rights, as well as international and humanitarian law. France also announced that it is looking into the means of referring the case to the International Criminal Court. Paris announced that this report includes compelling evidence against the regime in Damascus, which committed unprecedented crimes, and said that armed opposition groups must also refrain from committing unacceptable war crimes.
Reporter, Female #2
On the ground, the clashes and media wars between the authority and the opposition continue. As SANA announced that regime forces were able to control the neighborhood of al-Midan in Aleppo, the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, announced to Agence France-Presse that clashes continue in al-Midan and several areas in Aleppo.

Hamas court charges four in slaying of Italian activist [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Female #1
A military court in Gaza issued rulings that varied in prison terms, including a life sentence for two of the four accused, for participating in the kidnapping and killing of pro-solidarity Italian activist, Vittorio Arrigoni. Arrigoni was kidnapped and killed in the Gaza Strip in April of last year at the hands of a group that calls itself the Tawhid and Jihad Group.

Far from the camera lens, the military court in Gaza issued its ruling against 4 Palestinian youths accused of participating in an operation in which they kidnapped and killed pro-solidarity Italian activist, Vittorio Arrigoni.
Guest, Male #2 (Colonel Ahmad Atallah, Head of Gaza Military Court)
Three of them are the primary accused, and one of them was sheltering the accused. The court issued multiple rulings. Two of the suspects were sentenced to life in hard labor, the third to 10 years of hard labor, and for the one harboring them, a year of incarceration.
Reporter, Male #1
Though subject to appeal, the decision left a positive impact among rights groups and friends of the late Arrigoni.
Guest, Male #3 (Khalil Shahin, Activist and Friend of Arrigoni)
I feel joy, because the court took into consideration the wishes of our friend Vittorio, and his family as well, by not issuing death sentences, which he regarded as a harsh punishment.
Reporter, Male #1
The Gaza military court rulings regarding the kidnapping and killing of pro-solidarity Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni, came over a year after the incident. An incident that had been met with great anger and criticism in various Palestinian circles.
Reporter, Male #1
Arrigoni had arrived to Gaza aboard one of the flotillas that aimed to end the siege. He settled there, and united in solidarity with Palestinians' rights.
Reporter, Male #1
On the 14th of April last year, an armed group that called itself the Sahabi Muhammad Bin Maslama Brigade, kidnapped Arrigoni to demand the Gaza government release one of the Salafi group's leaders, as it stated in its declaration. Hours after the group posted the video, Arrigoni was found dead in a home north of Gaza.
Reporter, Male #1
The Gaza government's response at the time was swift and decisive. Their forces stormed a house in which some suspects in the incident had barricaded themselves. At the time, they refused to turn themselves in. Two were killed, among them a young man of Jordanian citizenship.
Reporter, Male #1
It was an incident regarded by Palestinians as a deviation from their approach as well as their struggle, whose aim was always to win over and protect all those who sympathize and stand in solidarity with Palestine and its cause.

Iran: IAEA swayed by lobbying countries, mismanagement [Press TV, Iran]
Iran says that the International Atomic Energy Agency is distancing itself from its principle of fairness due to mismanagement and the influence of certain countries. The head of Iran's atomic energy organization, Fereydoun Abbasi, warned that some states had been swaying the UN agency in its decision-making. He also talked of the penetration by "terrorists" and "saboteurs" in the IAEA, adding that there are enough reasons to be pessimistic about the agency's reports.
Ex-US consul warns of looming conflict with Iran as IAEA stresses 'commitment' to dialogue [IBA, Israel]
Regarding a negotiated solution over the Iranian nuclear program, there will likely be a military confrontation in 2013 with Iran-- this was the warning sounded by former US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk in an interview with CBS. He explained that Israel sees the turmoil around them from a much closer perspective than the US, making them "very nervous."
Despite the lack of progress so far, the IAEA will hold further talks with Iran aimed at clarifying concerns about its nuclear energy program. IAEA chief Yukiya Amano made the announcement at the member state gathering, stressing that the agency is committed to further dialogue with Iran. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is scheduled to meet with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator as well. German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said that a political solution is still possible to the Iranian nuclear issue.
Times of Israel editor: 'Inconceivable' that Obama can't meet face-to-face with Netanyahu [IBA, Israel]
It is "inconceivable" that US President Barack Obama cannot find the time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu face-to-face over the Iranian issue, says David Horovitz, Editor-in-Chief of the Times of Israel, in an interview with IBA. He calls the lack of talks a "failure in leadership" for the US and Israel.
Kenyan politicians fuel tribal feud ahead of elections [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female #1
The deadly tribal confrontations that have been ongoing in Kenya for a month intensified concerns that acts of violence will prevail over the upcoming elections that will take place next March. The current clashes resulted in the deaths of over 100 people from two rival tribes. What makes the situation even more dangerous is that politicians seek to utilize the confrontations for their own gain in the elections, which has led to the expulsion of a minister from the current government.
Reporter, Male #2
The killers arrived in the early morning. They were in the hundreds. They were armed with arrows, axes, and darts. They set the homes in the village on fire, and they beat the residents to death. They did not distinguish between children, the elderly, or women. They committed a massacre.
Reporter, Male #2
Jamila is an eight-year-old girl. An ax cut a large wound through her innocent face. She is still too afraid to even speak. But those who are able to speak, those who survived the massacre, tell horrific stories about what happened to them.
Guest, Male #2 (Massacre Survivor, Member of Pokomo Tribe)
The attackers were in three groups. The first set the houses on fire. The second kidnapped the wounded. And the third did the killing.
Reporter, Male #1
This conflict takes place over land and water. On one side, there is the Pokomo, young farmers who produce crops on the banks of the Tana River, in order to make money to pay for their daily needs.
Reporter, Male #1
On the other side, there is the Orma tribe. They are Bedouin shepherds who are constantly in search of shelter for their animals. In the past, conflicts were resolved peacefully.
Reporter, Male #1
But the shepherds armed themselves for protection, according to them. Some of them admit to being thirsty for revenge.
Reporter, Male #1
In neighboring villages, religious clerics and politicians preach about the importance of security and peace. But there are those who believe that the land is not only important to the farmers, but to politicians who are using the conflicts to win the upcoming elections.
Guest, Male #3 (Massacre Eyewitness, Member of the Pokomo Tribe)
If you have political power, then you have everything. There are many posts that you could win, and whoever wins has power and influence. That is enough reason to incite conflict.
Reporter, Male #1
The Kenyan government pushed military forces to stop the confrontations, which killed over 100 people within a month. But there is increasing worry that the upcoming elections may turn into a bloody battle incited by senior politicians.
Palestinians mark 30th anniversary of Sabra and Shatila massacre [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Male #1
This marks the 30th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre that occurred on September 16th, 1982. The massacre lasted for three days and claimed the lives of a large number of martyrs, estimated between 3,500 and 5,000.
Reporter, Male #2
The Palestinian people's history is filled with black days, and the darkest of them were the three days in which the Sabra and Shatila massacre was committed. On its 30th anniversary, it still remains a mark of disgrace on the face of the Israeli occupation. If only time had skipped these three days from mid-September 1982; if the evening of Wednesday the 15th of September had gone straight through to Sunday morning on that month. History would have changed, and the thousands of victims among our people would have still been alive. They would not have been forced to face their gruesome deaths at the hands of criminals who lost their humanity, and let loose as heartless killing machines that were directed to kill innocent people who did not commit any sins. They were only Palestinians, which is a sufficient reason to be targeted by Tel Aviv's generals.
Reporter, Male #2
Hundreds of unarmed Palestinian, women, children, and elderly were slaughtered by criminals who had mastered killing innocent people, at a bad time when Palestinians were left as a diaspora with no supporters. After three days, the darkness lifted, and the occupation's atrocities in the camp were revealed. The result was thousands of martyrs and injured people among the Palestinians' ranks. They were subjected to this massacre as revenge for their resistance, before the siege that ended with international guarantees, most notably the protection of the camps' unarmed residents, after the Palestinian resistance left Beirut.
Reporter, Male #2
However, the countries who made these reassurances did not abide by their obligations, and left innocent people to face their fate, being killed, massacred, without taking measures on the ground, only denunciation and condemnation, which still gives Israel a green light to conduct its crimes whenever and wherever it desires.
Reporter, Male #2
The main goal of the massacre came in the form of terrorizing Palestinians to push them to migrate outside of Lebanon, and also to incite sectarian strife there. This was a continuation of the strike that the Israeli invasion directed at the Palestinians' existence in Lebanon.
Reporter, Male #2
The Sabra and Shatila massacre was not the first Israeli massacre committed against our Palestinian people, and it certainly was not the last. It was preceded by the massacres of Qibya, Deir Yassin, and Tantura. It was followed by the Jenin massacre and the Gaza massacres. And despite the atrocities of the killings and destruction in Sabra and Shatila, something the entire world had witnessed, the criminals are still free. Mohamed Noufal, Palestine TV.

Everything you need to know about Accutane, including user reviews
Accutane (also known as isotretinoin), or Roaccutane as is also known in parts of the world, was discovered in 1979 when it was first given to patients with severe acne, most of whom reacted with dramatic and permanent clearing of their acne symptoms. It is a vitamin A derivative (13-cis-retinoic acid) that is administered orally in pill form, normally for 15-20 weeks (3.5-4.5 months).1 It was originally prescribed for people with severe acne that did not respond to other treatments,2 but has gained in popularity in the past 25 years and is prescribed more and more frequently for less severe acne.3-5 This practice is controversial because Accutane is a serious medication which can cause long-lasting side effects. It is often referred to as the 'nuclear option' for acne. Accutane need not be paired with other medications.6
Exactly how Accutane works on a cellular level is unknown but we do know that it affects all four ways that acne develops.
Although acne may get worse within the first month of Accutane use for about 30% of patients, the ultimate results are usually dramatic.10 Accutane works to achieve partial or complete clearance of acne in about 95% of people who complete a cycle, regardless of whether they have inflammatory or non-inflammatory acne.11 The majority of people who take it see their acne effectively cured, experiencing long-term remission of acne symptoms. Studies show an average relapse rate of around 33%, and in these cases sometimes a second course is given.6,8,11-15 This relapse rate is dose-dependent.12 Patients who receive a cumulative dose of 100-120 mg/kg see the best results and lowest relapse rates. Patients who receive a lower dose relapse more frequently. Daily dosage depends on how much the patient weighs; 0.5 mg - 2 mg/kg is typical.14
Low and intermittent dosing: Researchers have published two studies attempting to gauge whether people with mild to moderate acne can achieve long term remission of acne with lower dosages of Accutane. Initial data is showing that people with mild to moderate acne may be able to achieve long term remission with only about 75% of the usual Accutane dose, and thus suffer less side effects.16-17 Intermittent dosing (taking Accutane only 1 week of every month) appears to work less well, producing inadequate results for more than half of the patients studied.17
AKA Hepatotoxicity. Clinical research found this to occur in 15% of cases.3
AKA Pancreatitis. Clinical research found this to rarely occur.
Difficulty breathing (bronchospasms, respiratory infection, and voice alteration).8
Clinical research found this to occur in 92% of cases.3,8
AKA Xerosis. Clinical research found this to occur in 57% of cases.3,7-8
AKA Epistaxis. Clinical research found excessively dry nose to occur in 30% of cases.8
Eczema is a medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed, with blisters that cause itching and bleeding. Clinical research has shown it may be exacerbated by Accutane use.7-8 Other, more rare forms of facial rash have been reported.10
A small percentage of people are affected on a short-term basis and at a low level.7-8
AKA Uticaria. Rare cases of allergic reaction to Accutane, including hives, have been reported.7-8
Alopecia is a condition that results in loss of hair from the scalp and sometimes other areas of the body. Rare cases have been reported.7
Rare cases of hirsutism have been reported.
Extremeley rare cases of nail abnormalities have been reported.
AKA Xanthomas. Clinical research found this to rarely occur.
Accutane is the #1 prescribed teratogenic (causes birth defects) medication in the United States.2
AKA Myalgia. Clinical research found this to occur in 15% to 50% of cases.7-8,14,19-20
Clinical research found this to occur in 30% of cases.
AKA Arthralgia. Clinical research found this to occur in 15% to 35% of cases.7-8,13-16
AKA hyperostosis. Clinical research found detectable changes to occur in 10% of cases.8,11
Inflammation of a tendon.7-8
Temporary yet painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints.8,15
Clinical research found this to occur extremely rarely.14,17-18
Calcification is hardening of the bone, tendon, or ligament caused by the deposition of or conversion into calcium carbonate or some other insoluble calcium compounds; calcified cartilage.11 Clinical research found this to occur only in high-dose, long-term (several years) Accutane therapy.12
AKA Rhabdomyolysis. Clinical research found this to occur in rare cases.8
Clinical research found this occurred in 10% to 28% of cases.8
Certain: abnormal oil secretion in the eye (abnormal meibomian gland secretion), inflamed mucus membrane that lines the eye (blepharoconjunctivitis), cornea becomes less transparent (corneal opacities), loss of night vision (decreased dark adaptation), decreased tolerance to contact lenses, decreased vision, increased salt concentration in tears (increased tear osmolarity), inflamed cornea (keratitis), oil gland atrophy in the eye (meibomian gland atrophy), near- or shortsightedness (myopia), eye discomfort (ocular discomfort), dry eye (ocular sicca), excessive sensitivity to light (photophobia), birth defects regarding the eyes (teratogenic ocular abnormalities).7,8
Probable/likely: decreased color vision [reversible], permanent loss of night vision AKA loss of dark adaptation.3,9
Possible: permanent dry eyes AKA keratoconjunctivitis sicca.7-8
As a side note, the FAA {United States Federal Aviation Administration} is considering more stringent rules regarding pilots who have been exposed to Accutane.9
AKA intracranial hypertension. Clinical research found this to occur very rarely.8
Neurological symptoms.
Including dizziness, drowsiness, insomnia, lethargy, malaise, nervousness, tingling/pricking/numbness (paresthesias), seizures, stroke, fainting (syncope), and weakness. Clinical research found this to occur in 16-29% of cases.8
Depression and suicide have been linked to Accutane in clinical research but as data mounts, it appears unlikely that depression is more commn in people as a result of taking Accutane. More research on the connection between suicide, depression and Accutane is needed. See the Suicide & Depression section for more detailed information on the topic.21-22
AKA Cerebral ischemia. Clinical research found this to be extremely rare.23
"Has been reported" and "may persist after therapy has been discontinued."8
Rare anaphylactic reactions have been reported in clinical research.8
AKA Neutropenia.26
Although Inflammatory bowel disease and chrohn's disease are often connected with Accutane, clinical research found no correlation. Clinical research did find a weak correlation between Accutane and ulcerative colitis.27-28
Elevated triglycerides, cholesterol, transaminase. Clinical research found this to occur in 44%, 31%, and 11% of cases respectively.8,24-25
AKA Agranulocytosis. Clinical research found this to be rare but life-threatening.
AKA Anemia.
AKA Thrombocytopenia.
Patients have reported depressive symptoms while taking Accutane since shortly after the drug became legal in 1982. Whether the drug caused these depressive feelings remains a subject of intense debate. There are, after all, millions of people taking the drug, and there are bound to be people experiencing depression amongst them. Despite the confusion around this topic, Roche Pharmaceuticals®, the makers of Accutane, added a warning to its label regarding suicide and depression in 1998.
Media coverage on the topic spiked in 2000 when Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak's son BJ committed suicide while on Accutane. Research began in earnest to determine whether there is a causal link between Accutane, suicide & depression.1-2
Quite a few studies have been conducted since. These have included large population-based cohort studies, retrospective analysis studies, and relative risk estimates, performed in the United States, the UK, and Canada.3-11 The first of these studies showed no conclusive evidence linking Accutane with depression or suicide.1-2 As the studies mounted, the data continued to show no evidence of a link.7-9,12 One study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found, "431 cases of depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, or suicide in U.S. patients treated with isotretinoin," within a 10 year period. The article went on to note that the numbers listed do not exceed the U.S. suicide rate.13
If a researcher were to examine the evidence from 2000 until 2005, he or she would likely conclude that there is no evidence linking Accutane with suicide or depression.7-9 However, as is often the case, further analysis showed limitations to many of the studies.14-15 A general overview published in 2006 by the International Journal of Dermatology noted, "the overall lack of concrete scientific data limits any conclusion that can be drawn about a causal relationship between isotretinoin and psychiatric adverse events."16
Then, in 2006, depression-related behavior was shown in mice injected with the drug. While animal studies often do not reflect human models, it was marginally intriguing.10 But even more provocative was a large cohort case-crossover study published in 2008 by the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, which was the first controlled study to find a correlation between Accutane, suicide and depression, albeit relatively minor.11 Two recent studies, one small American study and one large Swedish study, again showed no connection.5-6
The preponderance of the evidence at this point is that Accutane does not appear to be linked with suicide and depression. However, to be safe, it is important for anyone taking Accutane to closely monitor their mental health while on the drug.1,4,17 If you find yourself feeling depressed or suicidal, seek help right away.
The birth defects caused by Accutane are devastating and life threatening. Birth defects include skull, ear, eye, facial, central nervous system, cardiovascular, thymus, parathyroid abnormalities, and death.3 Clinical research shows extremely high risk for birth defects in pregnant women.4 The effects and risks of Accutane on unborn children are so severe that female patients of childbearing age are required to use two (2) forms of birth control while on Accutane.5
The iPLEDGE program was launched in March 2006 to prevent women from becoming pregnant while on Accutane.5-6
iPLEDGE program telephone: 1-866-495-0654
iPLEDGE program website: ipledgeprogram.com
Roche started with a program called SMART (System to Manage Accutane Related Teratogenicity) in 2000, which became the iPLEDGE program in March, 2006. Female patients of childbearing age are required to use two (2) forms of birth control while on Accutane.
Gerald Peck and co-workers from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) in Bethesda, Maryland, first studied isotretinoin in patients with skin cell disorders. They accidentally found that it also worked on patients with severe acne. Isotretinoin was registered in 1979, released in the United States in 1982 as Accutane, and released in Europe in 1985 as Roaccutane.1
Roche's patent expired in 2002, and manufacturers began selling generic forms of the drug.
In June, 2009, shortly after a jury awarded $33 million in damages to people who claimed Accutane caused bowel disease, Roche decided to discontinue selling brand name Accutane. The company cited declining sales as their reason.
According to the FDA:
Buying Accutane or any other prescription over the Internet often means you will receive pills that contain little or no active ingredient, or in some cases, a different medication entirely. Buying Accutane over the Internet is not only illegal, it is potentially dangerous and is also a waste of money.4 I agree strongly with the FDA. NEVER buy Accutane over the Internet."

Topical isotretinoin exists but does not produce the results of oral isotretinoin. It is largely of historical significance in acne treatment.
As a critical sociology major in college, I learned that it is important for an author to present his or her bias. Because we are human and it is impossible to be completely unbiased, the presentation of bias allows the reader to take the author's bias into account when absorbing content.
My bias: I suffered with moderately severe acne in my adolescence and early adulthood. I took Accutane at age 20. It cleared me up completely within weeks. I transformed from a shy introvert to an outgoing college student. As a result of my skin clearing up, my mental state felt relatively light and good, albeit still somewhat anxious as I had always been. My side effects included severely dry lips, extremely dry skin, dry eyes and sometimes severe joint pain. Since Accutane, whenever I sprint or exert myself in quick bursts my joints react with inflammation. Whether this is coincidence or the result of Accutane is unclear. My acne relapsed post-Accutane, albeit not to the degree it was before my Accutane cycle. I am now able to control my acne symptoms with The Regimen."

When health care reform passed the House in November, the vote was 220-215. Since that time, three Democrats who voted yes are no longer in the House (two resigned, one died). Also, the sole Republican voting yes has announced he will vote no when the Senate bill is brought to the House. One Democrat who voted "no" -- Rep. Eric Massa, N.Y. -- has also resigned. Moreover, as many as a dozen Democrats who voted yes on the House version say they will vote no on the Senate version because it lacks language to prevent taxpayer subsidies for abortion coverage. Included in this group are Reps. Bart Stupak (Mich.), Jim Oberstar (Minn.), Marion Berry (Ark.) and Dan Lipinksi (Ill.). UPDATE: Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Calif., who voted for the House bill in November, said last month that he would vote "no" on the Senate bill. When you do the math, Democrats probably have only about 205 votes to pass health care reform. With four empty House seats, they will need 216 to guarantee passage. Democratic leaders will be working furiously to twist the arms of the 39 Democrats (38 are still Democrats) who voted no last time. Their names are listed below, and the ones who might still flip are listed in red. Note, however, that whip counts like this one are often unreliable. In 2003, as Republicans scrambled for the final votes for Medicare Part D, I interviewed one conservative Congressman who was adamantly opposed to the bill. He laid out his case against it spectacularly. Hours later, he voted "yes" under heavy pressure from the Bush administration. Here are the 18 Democrats who, after voting "no" on health care reform in November, are now most likely to flip and vote "yes" this time around: John Adler, N.J. On Fox News Sunday, he didn't quite rule out voting "yes": If the House and the Senate cant work out cost containment, I dont see how I support a bill that doesnt help our business community and create more jobs, he said. (Fox News Sunday, Mar. 7, 2010) Jason Altmire, Pa. Altmire equivocated this weekend on Fox News Sunday, saying he has an "open mind" about it. I have to make a decision between passing this bill...or doing nothing. And I'm weighing the balance between the two. Brian Baird, Wash. Although he said he planned to vote no, the retiring congressman hedged a bit on CNN's State of the Union Mar. 7. The problem is, if I think we could come up with a better solution, OK, than just to say health care reform goes down and therefore nothing ever happens, that would be a tragedy. And so that's the choice. I don't think this bill is what I would like to see us do if I could -- if I ran the universe, as it were, but I don't get to do that. So the status quo is unsustainable. John Barrow, Ga. He always has close races in his Savannah-area district, which was made significantly more Republican through mid-decade redistricting. A "yes" vote might end his career. He has not indicated how he will vote, nor has he responded to inquiries from The Examiner. John Boccieri, Ohio A Mar. 4 statement from his office says he is encouraged that President Obamas plan contains important provisions to reduce fraud, waste and abuse and reduce the deficit. The Daily Caller lists him among the "undecided." Rick Boucher, Va. He is considered by the AP one of those most likely to flip. But Boucher has resisted his party's leadership in the past -- for example, when he voted against McCain-Feingold. This year, he faces the fight of his career against the state House Majority Leader. His office has not responded to inquiries by The Examiner. Ben Chandler, Ky. Chandler, already under fire for his support of cap-and-trade legislation last year, has given no public indication so far on his health care vote. His spokeswoman has not yet responded to inquiries by The Examiner. Lincoln Davis, Tenn. His office tells The Examiner that he remains undecided. Bart Gordon, Tenn. He is retiring, and considered by the Associated Press to be among those most likely to flip. In light of his recent comments, this seems quite likely. "He is not going to be making a final decision until he sees the final language," he told The Examiner. Tim Holden, Pa. The Allentown Morning Call reported last week that Holden, a pro-life Democrat, is not saying how he will vote, and he has not responded to inquiries by The Examiner. Suzanne Kosmas, Fla. Her district was drawn for a Republican, but she defeated former Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla. by exploiting his relationship with now-imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Her office has not responded to The Examiner's inquiries, but some consider her a prime candidate to flip and vote "yes." Betsy Markey, Colo. Her re-election chances in her Republican district could be slim in a bad year for Democrats, but she isn't ruling out a "yes" vote. Her office has not responded to The Examiner's inquiries. Jim Matheson, Utah Just as he began to contemplate his vote, President Obama appointed his brother Scott to a federal judgeship. Good timing. Matheson told The Deseret News that he is undecided. "He has not announced how he will vote," his office told The Examiner. Scott Murphy, N.Y. The victor in a 2009 special election, Murphy is a fan of a single-payer health care system. His office did not reply to The Examiner's inquiries. Glenn Nye, Va. Nye, who defeated former Rep. Thelma Drake, R-Va., is among those considered most likely to switch and vote "yes," but his office did not respond to The Examiner's inquiries. Ike Skelton, Mo. Skelton, an old House bull with a pro-life voting record, could nonetheless be appealed to on party loyalty grounds, or even the loss of his chairmanship of the House Armed Services Committee. His office did not respond to The Examiner's inquiries. John Tanner, Tenn. Tanner is retiring. His staff recently released a statement that leaves him open to switching: "Until we know what that bill will include, how will it be brought to the floor and what the Congressional Budget Office says regarding its cost, there is no way for [Congressman] Tanner to declare his support or opposition. His office did not respond to The Examiner's inquiries. Harry Teague, N.M. This freshman already polls behind his Republican challenger, who previously represented his district. He has given no clear indication as to how he will vote, and his office has not responded to inquiries by The Examiner. Among those likely to vote "no" again: Dan Boren, Okla. Boren, who has a very conservative record, will vote no, his spokesman told The Daily Caller. Allen Boyd, Fla. His office did not immediately respond to The Examiner's inquiries. Bobby Bright, Ala. Bright, who narrowly won in a heavily Republican district in 2008, told The Daily Caller that he is voting "no." Travis Childers, Miss. His office did not immediately respond to The Examiner's inquiries. Artur Davis, Ala. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., accused Davis, an African-American, of being a race-traitor for voting "no." But he is running for governor, and not only does he plan to vote "no" again, but he promised to leave the campaign trail if necessary and return to Washington to do so. Chet Edwards, Tex. He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he will vote "no." Parker Griffith, Ala. After the November vote, he switched parties and became a Republican. Good luck changing his mind. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin, S.D. She told the Rapid City Journal she is a "no" vote. Larry Kissell, N.C. He told The Daily Caller that he is a "no" vote. Frank Kratovil, Md. A freshman in a tough rematch for re-election, Kratovil told the Annapolis Capital last week that he will vote "no," if the House is asked to pass the Senate version of the health care bill. Dennis Kucinich, Ohio Kucinich voted against the House bill because he wants a single-payer system or nothing. He is considered likely to vote against it again. Then again, he was also pro-life until the moment he decided to run for president. Jim Marshall, Ga. He told the Daily Caller that ObamaCare will bankrupt the country. He's a "no." Eric Massa, N.Y. Here's one Democrat who cannot be turned. He resigned from the House under a cloud of scandal, and over the weekend angrily accused Democratic leaders of railroading him because he voted no last time. He might have flipped if he'd stayed, but we'll never know. Mike McIntyre, N.C. He participated in a December event in which members of Congress prayed for the failure of ObamaCare. Mike McMahon, N.Y. A Democrat representing Republican Staten Island, McMahon told the Staten Island Advance last week that he will vote "no." Charles Melancon, La. He is locked in an uphill battle to unseat Republican Sen. David Vitter that goes from hard to hopeless if he changes his vote to "yes." Walt Minnick, Idaho After the Associated Press published a report that he might change and vote "yes," he called AP to say he will not be voting for this bill. Peterson, Minn. Peterson told Minnesota Public Radio that he will vote no. Mike Ross, Ark. -- Ross, who at first threatened to block the House bill in committee, relented, but he then voted against it under heavy pressure from constituents. He told The Daily Caller that he is a definite "no" vote. Heath Shuler, N.C. He told a local newspaper he will vote against any attempt to pass health care using reconciliation. Gene Taylor, Miss. One of the most conservative Democrats in the House, Taylor is among those least likely to bend. Although not definitive, his recent statements about the bill in his district give a strong impression that he is a "no" vote, and his office tells The Examiner that this impression is correct. "He does not support the bill," his spokesman said. Read more at the Washington Examiner: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op...#ixzz0hibTe0FQ |

I have to hand it to most of them. They aren't, at least at this point, just going to vote for something because it's the party line thing to do. They are actually thinking what's best for this country, the present and future.

After heated debate this summer surrounding big cuts to nutrition programs in the farm bill, a last ditch effort to get at least a portion of the bill passed resulted in an unprecedented decision to split it into two.
While the farm-only portion narrowly passed, the time has come to revisit the hot-button topic of food stamps. And the negative feedback hasn't disappeared.
Ahead of the expected vote on Thursday, lawmakers expressed their discontent with the steep $40 billion cut from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance in the nutrition portion.
"Even if this bill is defeated, as it should be, I worry the debate will eliminate any remaining goodwill needed to pass a farm bill," he noted in a statement this week. Suggesting that leadership is catering to extreme members of the party with such steep cuts, the Ranking Member added, "It's time to get serious. If they will just get out of our way, the House and Senate Agriculture Committees can work together and provide farmers, ranchers and consumers the certainty of a five-year farm bill."
Democrats Debbie Stabenow, chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota agreed Wednesday. Stabenow was particularly critical of the House decision to split the farm bill into two parts.
"In the Senate, we've passed a budget that will replace sequestration with a balanced solution – but a handful of Senators are blocking us from being able to even send negotiators to the House to finalize the budget," Stabenow said on the Senate floor Wednesday. "And so we are now stuck with a policy that makes absolutely no sense, that economists say is slowing down our economy and costing us jobs, because of political games in Washington."

A place where you can curl up in bed and take a look at where other people curl up in bed. To be frank (actually, I'm Katie), I have a tendency to not know where most of these pictures come from. And I'll tell you on the rare occasion when one of them is mine. I just search the hills and valleys and creepy back-allies of Tumblr and elsewhere for bedroom photos to delight and inspire you.

Permanently Changing GRUB Menu In Ubuntu
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009Ubuntu has a nice install screen that lets you press F4 for Modes or F6 for Other Options. If you have an older laptop, you may find that you can't boot unless you turn on "Safe Graphics" or check "acpi=off".
(Note: In my case, the failure I was experiencing on boot was accompanied by horrible graphic corruption on the LCD. This made me think I'd need safe graphics mode, but that had no effect. It turned out the acpi=off was the setting I needed to get through the boot. YMMV.)
Yet there's a catch to getting Ubuntu working this way. It may get you through the install, but once you're finished and try to boot from your hard disk these options aren't there any more. As of 9.10, it seems that it does not slipstream these settings into the configuration files on your hard disk.
As more of an exercise than anything else, I looked into how to address this after installing Ubuntu onto an old Pentium III laptop. Hopefully it can help someone else. Here goes…

I suspect that you could reformulate such a code as a "memory-extension" MPI job and avoid the need for custom hardware.
