THE RADICAL Hamas leadership in Damascus was remarkably successful in goading the moderate Israeli leadership to approve a massive attack on the Gaza Strip, but it has been notably less successful in reestablishing the putative cease-fire that had obtained since June 2008. Over a period of about three weeks, from just after Christmas 2008, the global media focused upon the incongruous juxtaposition of an efficiently coordinated attack by land, sea, and air against a disorganized collection of street fighters who readily fell back, exposing urban agglomerations and residents to the withering fire of the cautiously advancing Israeli forces.
The Hamas leadership in Gaza made little attempt to organize resistance, possibly hoping that the Israeli forces would continue to penetrate the city centers to the point where urban guerrillas could benefit from the tactical advantages afforded by such asymmetrical confrontations.1 Indeed, had some Israeli commanders had their way, their forces would have penetrated further and they might still be in Gaza. The imbalance between the two protagonists was repeatedly expressed in the summation of the fatal casualties on both sides: 1300 to 13, one hundred to one, a biblical calculation. Approximately 30% of the fatalities were reported to be civilians. Later, that number was doubled.
But where are we now that the major fighting has ended? Pretty much where we were before Christmas—and no one is very surprised. So what was it all about? Is it possible that the whole episode was some sort of distraction? Did we miss the real drama under the cover of pointless killing, deliberately induced to draw attention away from a much more complicated high-wire political act?
Presumably, mayhem at Christmas in Gaza began with the breakdown of a very shaky bilateral truce between the Hamas leadership in Gaza and the Israeli government. A six-month cessation of fire, or period of calm (tahd'iah), was agreed to in mid-June of 2008. Though mediated by Egypt, and supported by the moderate Arab states, the United States, and the European states, the tahd'iah did not imply entry into a peace process nor mutual recognition. It was hoped that the period of calm might provide an opportunity to chip away at the prevailing barriers of hostility, mistrust, and disdain, but it was no surprise that the calm was punctuated by the
1. frequent firing of inaccurate rockets into Israel,
2. the frequent closure of the crossings into Gaza by the Israeli authorities,
3. the smuggling of arms and other contraband from Egypt into Gaza via "illegal" tunnels,
4. the bombing of the tunnels
5. the targeted killings of Hamas leaders and rocketers,
6. and other acts of war, terror, and mayhem.
It is apparent that both sides believed it to be in their interest to act as though these frequent and patterned breaches did not render the tahd'iah void and inoperative. Efforts to reaffirm the informal truce were almost as frequent as the breaches, and that is why some surprise was expressed when the Hamas leaders resident in Damascus, Khalid Mish'al and Musa Abu Marzuk, indicated in November that they might oppose the extension of the truce. The reports from Damascus linked the announced intention of Hamas to step up its attacks on Israel to a disputed incident in which Israel claimed that it had detected a squad of Hamas fighters approaching the boundary, with the intent of capturing Israeli soldiers to be held as hostages (like Gilad Shalit, who has been held for more than two years). Hamas claims that the seven who were killed in the Israeli attack were civilians going about their honest business.
It was widely rumored that the Hamas leadership in Gaza, under Mr. Isma'il Haniyeh, had urged the extension of the cease-fire. On December 14, 2008, Mesh'al declared that the cease-fire would not be renewed and over the following days, Hamas operatives fired some 80 missiles, rockets, and mortar shells daily into Israel until, on December 27, the mobilized Israeli forces moved in, cut off the southern part of the Strip and began to encircle Gaza city, while bombing and shelling strategic targets, the homes of Hamas leaders, and pockets of resistance. The population of the Gaza Strip has paid a very high price in support of a questionable strategic decision by Mish'al and Abu Marzuk. What did they hope to achieve? What are the chances that they will realize their desired payoff? Will it be worth the price paid by the people of Gaza?
The Israeli military action has been very popular among the great majority of its Jewish citizens, but both the civilian and the military leadership have been widely castigated in the global media, embarrassing some of their closest allies, including Arab states and Muslim majority states. But it is not at all clear that Israel has achieved any long-term strategic benefit from the thrashing given to the Hamas forces—the rockets and missiles still fly.
The CSIS, otherwise known as The Center for Strategic and International Studies, an influential Washington think tank, has prepared a critique of the Israeli action in Gaza, which reportedly praises Israel's military achievements, but questions the political relevance of its military action. The report quotes the conclusion of the critique as follows, "If Israel had a credible ceasefire plan that could really secure Gaza, it is not apparent. If Israel had a plan that could credibly destroy and replace Hamas, it is not apparent. If Israel had any plan to help the Gazans and move them back toward peace, it is not apparent."2 As yet, it is equally unclear what losses Israel might suffer in what has come to be seen by some, at least, as a human rights issue rather than the opening of a new regional strategic gambit.
The evident disconnect between attainable strategic goals and the escalation of military action on both sides begs the question, but the answer may not be hard to find. Throughout the 22 days of fighting, The New York Times published reports sent by Ethan Bronner from the Israeli side and Taghreed al-Khudary from the Gaza side. On January 19, 2009, with the end of the Israeli offensive, Bronner wrote an insightful piece in which he sought to describe—if not explain—the state of mind of those engaged at the leadership level. Of particular note in this regard was the statement of a ranking Israeli officer, that the Israeli forces deliberately assumed the style and rhetoric of a mad storekeeper, presumably giving away the store—in Hebrew: ba'al habayit hishtageya—thus signaling Hamas that the Israeli forces could not be expected to act rationally and with restraint.3 The CSIS report included a similar statement, possibly from the same source: "The Jewish state had to make its enemies feel it was 'crazy.'" But Bronner's piece went on to quote no less than Isma'il Haniya, the Hamas prime minister, characterizing the Gaza conflict as a "harb majnouna" or a crazy war.4
Now, there is a difference between deliberately choosing to act irrationally and finding oneself in a situation where rational action makes no sense. Even so, there is something fundamentally irrational in Hamas attacking Israel with a clear intent to provoke a violent response which Hamas would not be able to contain. Hamas, after all, is not a band of terrorists enjoying sanctuary in an inaccessible part of a failed sovereign state. Given the small size of the territory, the open character of the terrain, the easy accessibility of every part of the Strip, the densely packed urban areas, and hence the vulnerability of both the civilian population and the mobilized military forces, it follows that provoking a counter attack entailed enormous risk. So long as the breaches of the cease-fire on both sides remained within mutually tolerable limits, mutual restraint could be practiced, but when the Damascus-based leadership of Hamas formally announced the end of the cease-fire, the sharply increased rocketing signaled that rational self-restraint would no longer be exercised.
On the other hand, rationality depends on the mutually understood rules of the game, and now it is clear that Hamas and Israel were engaged in a classic game of Chicken, wherein each of the players signaled the other that it will under no circumstances swerve out of the path of the other. If neither swerves, both die or are gravely injured. If both swerve, they live to play the game again. Theoretically, the most rational outcome is attained when one swerves and the other continues, but you can't come out even unless you play the game at least twice and coordinate on alternating moves in advance.5 Signaling the selected move in advance can serve to coordinate alternation and a rational outcome, but when both sides signal that they will not swerve under any circumstances, the mutual intimidation greatly increases the risk, and if both sides remain steadfast, greatly increases the cost. Hence, it remains most rational from an ensemble perspective that one side swerve despite the declaration of irrational intent—but every now and then both players have to be prepared to assert their capacity for irrational action in order to keep the other side honest. At this moment, both sides appear to be somewhat chastened, as they engage in a tripartite negotiation, mediated by Egypt, to formalize an eighteen-month cease-fire to replace the informal, unsigned arrangement that failed.
Were the hostilities in Gaza instigated or delivered at the behest of other Middle East powers, or were they, possibly, intended to influence the policy measures to be taken by other Middle East powers? Such questions direct us immediately to considering the possible connections between Gazan events and the regional policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran because, in the midst of a general restructuring of the regional system, Iran has emerged as the most active and ambitious player. It is widely agreed that Iran aspires to achieve a hegemonic position in the region by means of the domination of the Persian Gulf, extending its influence in Iraq as the U.S. draws down its forces, encouraging instability in Afghanistan, continuing to support Hizbullah in its assertion of authority in Lebanon and in its proxy war against Israel, and providing vital military and political assistance to Hamas, in a second proxy war against Israel.
We can gain some insight into the role of Iran by means of a close reading of an interesting article entitled "Will Hizbullah Intervene in the Gaza Conflict," written by Professor Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, who teaches Political Science at the Lebanese-American University in Beirut.6 Saad-Ghorayeb, hereafter S.G., starts by asking why Hizbullah has not yet gone to the military assistance of Hamas. Her answer is that Hizbullah will doubtlessly go to the aid of their brothers-in-arms, but they have not done so as yet because of certain constraints and because Hamas is doing quite well and does not yet require assistance. SG lists the constraints on Hizbullah, without sugar-coating, including
its recent recovery from Israel's devastating attacks in 2006,
the expectation that Israel would renew those "disproportionate" attacks with similar results,
additional pressure would then be placed upon Hizbullah to disarm,
and Lebanese opponents would then conspire to drag Hizbullah into an unwanted civil war as happened during May 2008.
Besides, argues SG, with somewhat diminished candor, at this time, Hamas has borne up well and its governing institutions remain intact, so intervention by Hizbullah "would only hurt the movement" or "undermine" it by suggesting that it was incapable of defending itself.
Despite these good reasons for Hizbullah to keep out of the Gaza struggle, SG insists that Hizbullah would intervene if Hamas suffered a devastating military defeat or if it were forced to accept a conditional cease-fire that met all Israeli demands. Despite the fact that Hizbullah would pay a very heavy price for intervening, it would do so because the "resistance movement is one movement." This movement pits Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, and Hamas as the resistance front, against what SG calls the "US-Israeli-moderate Arab axis" including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Fatah, and Jordan. SG tells us that Hizbullah views the Gaza conflict as a continuation of the war of July 2006, as some Israelis have also suggested, and this conflict is, in turn, part of a larger conflict engaging the future of the entire "umma"—a term which usually includes all Muslims but which SG interprets as the Arab nation.
SG speculates that it is likely that Hamas and Hizbullah must have been in touch with one another, that they anticipated that Israel would breach the cease-fire agreement, and that Hizbullah must have assisted Hamas with "weapons, and training, as well as through joint military planning." With this plausible, but unspecified supposition, SG goes on to strain our credulousness by describing the Hamas defense against the Israeli invasion as a tactical duplicate of the Hizbullah successes against Israeli forces in 2006, and a further example of the "new school of fighting founded by Hizbullah's assassinated military leader, Imad Mughniyeh."
SG tells us that Iran, like Hizbullah, also coordinated its "activity" with Hamas, but Iranian assistance was essentially rhetorical and was directed primarily against Egypt, accusing President Mubarak of cooperating with Israel and calling upon the people of Egypt and, specifically, members of the armed forces of Egypt to overthrow the regime. Seeking to magnify the importance of Iran's verbal offensive, SG argues that it heralds the beginning of an open struggle against Egypt that has colluded, allied, embraced, and conspired with Israel, and even demanded that Israel launch its December 2008 attack on Hamas. This emphasis on the intensity of the Iranian attack on Egypt is adduced in order to refute the accusation of many who, according to SG—"have dismissed Nasrallah's verbal barrage on the Mubarak regime as little more than a diversionary or compensatory tactic designed to divert attention from or compensate for Hizbullah's inaction."
The mystery of Hizbullah's inaction and of Iran's role in the regional crisis of Christmas in Gaza is only deepened by SG's next attempt to affirm Iran's support of Hamas and to exculpate Hizbullah. SG writes:
While some commentators have suggested that a rift has emerged within Hizbullah over the circumstances under which it should assist Hamas militarily, such assumptions seem implausible…. Moreover, the party leadership has not publicly committed itself to a policy of restraint…[and most important of all] When Lebanese parliamentary majority leader Saad Hariri announced earlier this month that he had received assurances from Saeed Jalili, the head of Iran's National Security Council, while the latter visited Beirut, that Hizbullah would not respond to the Israeli assault on Gaza, Nasrallah [the leader of Hizbullah] lambasted him for granting 'free assurances' to Israel.
SG denies that Jalili had given any such assurances and goes on to describe Hizbullah's policy of "constructive ambiguity, whereby it neither confirms nor denies its intent to join the conflict"—and then proposes scenarios which Hizbullah could use to justify an attack on Israel to the international community whenever it suited Hizbullah's purpose.
I think that it is reasonable to conclude that SG is quite troubled by the fact that Hizbullah played virtually no role in the Gaza crisis. It is also noteworthy that she denies the report that Tehran prevented Hizbullah from intervening, but avoids speculation regarding the possibility that Iran had other things in mind. At any rate, Hizbullah did not intervene and Iran did not encourage intervention and made no serious effort to break the siege on the Gaza Strip. It is, therefore, all the more interesting that, on February 2, 2009, according to a note carried in The New York Times of February 3, "Hamas's leader-in-exile, Khaled Meshal, spoke Monday at Tehran University, where he thanked Iran for its support during the recent Israeli offensive in Gaza. 'I thank Iran for its official, unofficial and public support,' Mr. Meshal said. 'You are our partner in this victory.'"7 This statement could as easily be an apology as an expression of gratitude, in addition to being an exaggeration.
There was, of course, no victory, despite the view of about 45% of a sample of Palestinians that Hamas won a great victory, unless the mere survival of the Hamas apparatus may be so considered.
It was Mish'al in Damascus and not Haniya in Gaza who insisted on scrapping the expiring cease-fire, and it was Mish'al who, at first, refused to sanction a formal cease-fire to end the carnage. On Saturday, January 17, 2009, The New York Times reported on page 1, that "At a meeting organized by Qatar, a top exiled Hamas leader rejected Israeli terms for a cease-fire and called for increased resistance." Bronner adds, "But the Gaza branch of Hamas, squabbling with exiles out of the line of Israeli fire, seems to have agreed to much of Egypt's cease-fire proposal."8
The motives behind these acts of omission and commission are not obvious, but they may lead in the direction of a disagreement between the Damascus leadership of Hamas and the Khamene'i/Ahmadinejad government in Tehran over the preferred manner in which to greet the inauguration of Barack Obama. It is well known that candidate Obama, during the campaign, made a daring declaration that he was prepared to meet with the leaders of Iran without precondition and seek to end the dispute which has beset U.S.-Iran relations since the seizure of the American embassy in Tehran in 1979. A rapprochement between the U.S. and Iran is unlikely to serve Hamas' interests at the present time. Hizbullah doubtlessly acted (or failed to act) in concert with Iranian preferences. Is it possible that the Gaza conflict was conjured up in Damascus in order to prevent an Obama-Ahmadinejad handshake?
The recent—suspended—conflict in Gaza has not advanced the cause of peace, and it did damage that cause in the larger region of the Middle East. If Bronner and Landler of The New York Times are to be believed, much of the blame may be laid at the door of weaker surrogates, irresponsible proxies, and unstable buffers. They write of "the continued evolution of power in the region away from state players aligned with the West, to non-state players like Hamas, and their anti-western benefactors who support a more direct and aggressive stance toward Israel."9 And, they might have added, who cooperate with Iran.
It is true that Iran maintains close cooperation with Hizbullah as well as providing a measure of support for Hamas in Gaza and the leadership in Damascus. It is also true that neither Hizbullah nor Hamas are merely Iranian proxies. There is, however, little reason to believe that power has shifted from the "state players" to the "social movement" players. As we have seen, Iran refused to intervene in the Gaza conflict and it probably prevented Hizbullah from intervening. We may further speculate that Iran's motive may be a desire to explore the potential costs and benefits of improving relations with the Obama administration—and that speculation has been strengthened by the announcement, on February 8, 2009,10 of the candidacy of former President Muhammad Khatami in the coming Presidential elections; a rather favorable development which must, however, be balanced against the recent anti-American pronouncements of President Ahmadinejad, Speaker Ali Larijani, and ex-president and Chair of the Expediency Council, Hashemi Rafsanjani.
The relationships between Iran and its clients, including Hizbullah, Hamas, and Syria are complicated by the fact that their long-term interests do not coincide. Iran aspires to achieve or consolidate hegemonic influence within the region as a means of strengthening its own security while adding to the stability of the Shi'ite Islamic regime. Iran's relationship with Hamas, in addition to its ability to influence Hamas policy, provides Iran with a diffuse advantage in the form of the favorable view of many Sunni Arabs because of Iran's apparently solid support of the Palestinian cause. In the long run, however, the interests of Iran and Hamas are in conflict. Hamas goals start with the defeat of Israel and the destruction of the Israeli state. In the course of this effort, it may be assumed that Fatah will be crushed. Hamas might then seek an alliance with like-minded Islamist factions in Jordan with a view to the unification of the two states. With the achievement of a greater Palestinian Islamic state, one might expect attempts to build an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Syria. This Hamas trajectory would likely bring it into conflict with the Iranian effort to maintain its hegemony.
This differentiation of the long-term aspirations of Iran and Hamas undercuts the view that describes Iran, Hamas, and Hizbullah as a single united movement. An alternative, and equally questionable, opinion describes Hamas and Hizbullah as militarized proxies for Iran, and goes on to find that Iran is engaged in a proxy war against America.11 But the difficulty with this view is that it assumes that both proxies are completely under the control of Tehran and that both are willing to subordinate their particularistic interests in the expectation of a rich reward when and if Iran achieves a hegemonic role in the region. This level of cooperation with Iran has not been tested, but it may be assumed that both of these "social movement" allies of Iran would be willing to cooperate with Iran, at least for a limited time and for a limited goal, against a common enemy such as Israel. But it may be more important to be able to predict the reciprocal arrangement, whereby Iran would come to the aid of its proxy, as it did during conflict of the summer of 2006. But we have seen that Iran, the would-be regional hegemon and its proxy, Hizbullah, provided little more than moral support for Hamas during the recent fighting. Moreover, in the Gaza case, it appears that the proxy, or the Agent, rather than the Principal, took the initiative and may have attempted to draw Iran into the conflict or, at least, persuade Iran to direct Hizbullah to attack Israel. Clearly, Iran refused to get involved, leaving observers in doubt about the conditions under which Iran would come to the aid of Hamas.
From our brief notes on the long-term differences between Hamas and Iran, it is reasonable to predict that, with time and progress in their joint endeavors, the degree of cooperation between the two will decline. Thus, if Iran is Principal, and Hamas is Agent, the Moral Hazard in working with Hamas will increase and, acting rationally, Iran would probably diminish its support for Hamas unless the diffuse benefit of Sunni popular opinion exceeds the cost of supporting or cooperating with Hamas. Moreover, given the limited military capacity of Hamas, the tight strategic position in the Gaza Strip and the difficulty of maintaining supply, Hamas lacks the ability to carry out complex tasks on behalf of Iran—as borne out by the recent fighting. In the parlance of Principal/Agent games and the insurance business, this weakness is called Adverse Selection. By comparison, Hizbullah promises much more effective cooperation over a longer period of time as a consequence of its social base, its geographical concentration, and its commitment to Twelver Shi'ism. Nevertheless, as the Lebanese Shi'a attain majority status in Lebanon, Hizbullah's political interests may well deviate from those of Syria and Iran to the point of constituting a measurable Moral Hazard such as may well have initiated the adventitious war which has left both Israel and Hamas worse off politically than they were before.
Hamas tried to prove that it is possible to win by losing, and it may try again. Hamas, or at least Mish'al and Abu Marzuk, tried by this means, to reverse the roles of proxy and sponsor, and they may try again even though Tehran demurred on this occasion. On the other hand, Mish'al and Abu Marzuk demonstrated the strategic advantage of making the first move and, thereby, choosing the game. The player, or the antagonist moving second, may be constrained to adapt to the strategic choice of the player acting first. Afterwards, the two may be locked in a strategic dialectic that neither prefers, and which produces little besides collateral damage.

Hello extraordinarygal! So far I have only watched a couple of taiwanese series. MARS, Frog Prince, Love Contract, Tian Xia Di Yi and At the Dolphin Bay is about it. I'm currently watching Lavender. I think of all the female characters, I am most like the female lead in Love Contract. She is a tough girl on the outside and so am I. She likes kendo, which I think takes a lot of practice and discipline like martial arts and such. She doesn't like opening herself up to ppl. Sort of like me. Not a lot of ppl, even my friends know me very well.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
Interesting! Thank you for responding. I was beginning to think that no one wanted to respond because movie characters are unrealistic. Actually, that may be a valid reason. Sometimes the characters are overly dramatic with so many conflicts. In reality, the normal person may not encounter such conflicts. Personally, my life is pretty mundane, and I make up for it by watching these movie series. They're very entertaining and amusing.
which are you most like??
Ya, i think its because most of them are a bit unrealistic! But if i had to pick one i'd say im a bit like the tianyu character from WZBQW just becuz she's awkward and shy sometimes and gets herself into trouble... the other characters from twdramas that i watched are definitely NOT in the least like me LOL
does this hav to be from a taiwan drama? coz if it is limited to a taiwan drama, i cant pick any...but from other drama prod...i wud say Ma Xiao Hu from MDWAV 3 before he became the god of the underworld... i can always relate to him...i hop one day i wud also find whats in store for me like how he became the god of the underworld...(of course, in a different way, not a a god of the underworld)
想唱就唱, 唱得向亮! 力揚加油
I would like to think I am most alike with Xia Tian of Ying Ye 3 + 1 because she's a tough cookie with a real soft side. Plus she's really loyal to her friends and to her loved ones.
But for TWDramas, I've only seen MG 1 and 2, ISWAK, Frog Prince, Mars, and Hana Kimi so I'm not going to limit myself just yet.
I guess we mostly find similarities with characters in TV dramas to our own personalities, and that is why we get hooked on watching so much...

Police eventually got the altar boy list, with no help from the archdiocese. Investigators learned the extent of Aguilar-Rivera's alleged crimes by interviewing boys ranging in age from about 9 to 13.
In all, police said, 26 boys were molested in just nine months, many of them repeatedly. Aguilar-Rivera would eventually be charged in a felony complaint relating to 10 boys, with 19 counts of committing a lewd act with a child.
A Los Angeles Times reporter asked the archdiocese for comment at the time; its public statement stands in direct contrast to what the newly released documents reveal. "He was asked to stay in the country to face the accusations against him, but he chose to leave," said Joseph Battaglia, the spokesman for the archdiocese.
In the article, police said the church was being less than forthcoming with investigators; a father of two of the alleged victims said simply, "The church shouldn't be telling lies."
With the allegations now in the open, the tone of archdiocese officials shifted. Three days later, Curry wrote Aguilar-Rivera's bishop in Mexico and included a copy of the Los Angeles Times' story.
"May I request that if you know of the whereabouts of Father Aguilar-Rivera," Curry said, "you urge him most strongly to return here to answer the allegations that have been made against him."
While on the run, Aguilar-Rivera even called the home of one of the boys he allegedly molested.
"Don't you know everybody is looking for you?" the mother said, according to a March 11, 1988, memo.
"For what?" Aguilar-Rivera responded.
Aguilar-Rivera would remain in the priesthood in Mexico - for another 21 years. He would be dogged of more molestation allegations while there.
A civil suit filed in the United States in 2010 by a Mexican citizen alleged Aguilar-Rivera raped him when he was a 12-year-old altar boy in Mexico. The suit alleges Mahony and a Mexican cardinal conspired to hide Aguilar-Rivera between the two countries with full knowledge of his alleged pedophilia, putting an untold number of children at risk. Mahony has denied the allegations.
Aguilar-Rivera was convicted in Mexico in 2003 of a misdemeanor sex abuse charge, but was allowed to walk free while the case was under appeal, according to the Dallas Morning News.
He remains on Mexico's federal prosecutor's Most Want List wanted on charges of rape and indecent assault.
Aguilar-Rivera was finally stripped of his duties in 2009 by the Vatican, which approved his removal from "clerical state, a priest who has been accused of the sexual abuse of minors in Mexico and the United States," the Catholic News Agency reported on July 31, 2009.
Attorney De Marco said it's disgusting church authorities did nothing to stop him.
"He was able to walk around with the authority of the collar in a country where that authority carries more significance than it does here," De Marco said. "How could anyone ever justify that 21-year delay? This man molested 26 children in nine months in the United States. How many more were there over 21 years?"
Aguilar-Rivera, now 71, is believed to be alive, a free man in Mexico.
Mahony prays for humiliation
Mahony, who turns 77 next week, was appointed archbishop of Los Angeles by Pope John Paul II in 1985, overseeing the archdiocese until 2011 when he retired. In 1991, he became a cardinal, the highest-ranking Catholic clergy below the pope.
McKiernan, who launched BishopAccountability.org in 2003 to keep track of the widespread church abuse, said the recently released documents show the scope and magnitude of Mahony's and Curry's efforts in "intentionally evading the authorities."

Anthony Baye Sentenced for Manslaughter, Arson in Northampton
Convicted arsonist Anthony Baye was sentenced Wednesday in Northampton, Massachusetts to up to 20 years in prison and 15 years' probation for setting 27 fires in that city between 2007 and 2009. Baye plead guilty to two counts of manslaughter and many arson related charges on Monday, just days after the start of his trial. The sentence brings closure to a long recovery process for the city.
Judge Constance Sweeney, prosecutors, and Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan echoed a similar sentiment:
"The citizens of Northampton were true victims in this case," says Sullivan, "but they did something that we can all be very, very proud of, and that was they wanted the justice system to work."
State Prosecutor Brett Vottero says a plea bargain became a viable option last Saturday, a day after the first witness testimonies. But he says there was no new evidence to influence Baye's plea.
"In the end, I think we were successful because we had the truth, and the truth generally wins."
Defense attorney David Hoose declined to comment on most details of how the plea came about. But one factor was the prosecution's offer of a reduction of charges from first degree murder to manslaughter.
"And that was obviously a significant gesture in terms of getting this resolved," says Hoose.
Before he was sentenced, victims of the fires testified in a somber court hearing. Elaine Yeskie, the widow of Paul Yeskie, Senior and mother of Paul Yeskie, Junior, the two men who died in one of the 2009 fires, spoke briefly. Her granddaughter, Erica Desreuisseau read a longer statement on Elaine Yeskie's behalf and spoke after the hearing. She says the resolution is bittersweet.
"It's nice to hear that he's taking credit for what he's done, but at the same time, you can never get back what's been lost," says Desreeuisseau.
Desreuisseau says she and her mother have lived with Yeskie since the fire. Baye will be transferred to Cedar Junction prison in Walpole, Massachusetts.

About Sports & Recreation
There are many reasons why golf is the most popular game in the United States. Its the ideal setting for socializing. This is beneficial whether youre playing with friends, business associates, your boss, or potential clients. Being out on the course allows you to get to know one another on a deeper level, yet in a casual atmosphere. There is no other place this can be done. And if its a potential client, this is especially beneficial. Most people buy the person more than the product. Think about it. If a potential client has two offers from people with similar products or services and he goes to play golf with one and not the other, do you think your odds of a sale increase or decrease? Of course, they will increase dramatically. This is pretty simple. The golf course is also a great place to bond with friends. You get to tell stories, make fun of each others poor shots, and attempt to one-up each other from time to time. One little piece of advice for all you golfers out there and leave your technology at home. Its very annoying and rude when youre out enjoying 18 holes and your friend spends half the time talking on the phone or texting. If youre one of those people, its hopeful that you will heed this advice. You are not helping the bonding experience; youre hurting it. And if youre the only guy (or gal) out of four doing it, youre really out of the loop and you just dont know it yet.

More on Golf
If youre into playing at the local golf course and you want to improve your game, theres no better way to do this than visiting the driving range. Lets be honest, even though you say youre just out there to have fun, you do want to be the best player, dont you? Of course you do. Who wouldnt want to be the best at whatever they do? The driving range is a great place to work on your drive and irons. Many people go to the driving range just to see how far they can hit the ball. This is how you tell a novice from an experienced player. The key to this game isnt distance; its accuracy. When you see those flags on top of those little hills at the driving range, aim for them. If you do this several hundred times per week, you will notice that your accuracy will improve by a great deal. This, in turn, will lead to much lower scores. Another way to improve your game is to buy a professional putting green that you can put in your backyard. As you may already know, you drive for show and putt for dough. In other words, putting is the real key to maintaining a low score. By having a putting green in your backyard, you will be able to practice on a daily basis. If you combine the driving range with practicing on the putting green, the next time you go out to play with your friends or business associates, you will be sure to raise a few eyebrows.

After eight years of study, scientists are beginning to understand more about how wolverines live in Yellowstone's 9,000-foot crags. The range of an adult male can cover 500 square miles, larger territory than that claimed by grizzly bears, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society and its scientific partners. And they can move fast, seemingly "floating" on the snow's surface with large feet, and crossing from one side of the Tetons to the other in just hours.
Wolverines are a candidate for inclusion on the nation's list of endangered species.

Double interest in St Peter's Hospice Walk to Remember
By sophia1980 | Monday, August 19, 2013, 11:36
This year for the first time, the St Peter's Hospice annual Walk to Remember, which gives supporters the opportunity to walk in memory of loved ones, is being held over two different days in two separate locations.
Walk to Remember
The popular event has traditionally only been held at Ashton Court Estate but this year organisers will also run the event a week later in Hanham, where walkers will tread a route along the River Avon.
Maria del Carmen Moon Park, events fundraiser for St Peter's Hospice, said: "We have always held the Walk to Remember in Ashton Court Estate, which is a lovely location. This year, in addition to the Ashton Court event on Sunday 6 October, we are holding a second Walk to Remember a week later (Sunday 13 October), on a picturesque new route along the riverside in Hanham."
Both locations have been chosen to offer a beautiful and tranquil walk, and give participants the choice between travelling to the east or the west of Bristol. They also offer routes of differing lengths, with Ashton Court covering three miles, while Hanham follows five miles of riverside path.
Both the Ashton Court and the Hanham Walk to Remember will start at 10.30am. They are family-friendly walks – with doggy family members being welcome too. Both venues will have food stalls and entertainment provided for walkers.
Having attracted over 450 people last year, organisers are hoping to increase the number of participants, whose entry fees will help raise funds vital for maintaining the work undertaken by the hospice.
Maria continued: "Registration costs £8 per adult walker and £5 per child (under 16) and there is no charge for your dog. We're also looking for marshals to help out on both walks, and are keen to hear from members of the public who would like to help in this way.
"We are also opening up the event so that people can walk in memory of any loved one, not just those cared for at the hospice.
"This is a lovely event to reflect and remember your loved one and to raise money in their name. The fact that we've had to expand the event over two weekends shows how much people love it so we're looking forward to welcoming everyone in October."
More information and registration forms are available online at www.stpetershospice.org.uk.
Alternatively potential walkers or marshals can contact Maria at email@example.com or on 01275 391428.
Now in its 35th anniversary year, St Peter's Hospice cares for more than 2,670 patients each year as well as supporting family members. It costs £6.8 million to run the hospice with 77% of its income derived from the generous support of local people.

Here is another thread that discusses this topic. Cheers!
Thanks Kimberley.
Actually, the other "thread" is precisely why I made my comment - Vid #4 is in error according to the "other" thread. the bits on the bottom of the pan are "sucs" and NOT "fond" as stated in the video. Unless I have misunderstood, the video is in error - not a big deal, but it can be confusing for the student when one thing is verbalized and another is written in conflict.
Thanks for your feedback - you guys do an amazing job!
Ah, I get what you are saying. Sorry, I didn't realize this was the lingo used in this particular video. You have keen eyes and ears :-) Thanks for pointing it out. This video was from the pre-Rouxbe Cooking School days and should have technically said "sucs". It is great that our students are correcting our own oversights from the past. Cheers!
Ha-ha, having done some teaching myself I know how humbling it can be when a student makes note of an error. However, I trust you must also know that it is a compliment to your teaching that a student is, indeed, learning something; and, at least in the case of Rouxbe, feels complete freedom of expression.
You guys rock!
You make a great point Bryan and we are glad that students feel free to express themselves. Honestly, we do try to teach in such a way that there is that freedom. Our style is not "it's this way or the highway" as there are many ways to do and look at things when it comes to cooking (and in life really).
You know what makes the whole "fond vs. sucs" things complicated is that everyone calls them something different. If you search the word "fond" you will see that many people say that it is exactly what we say "sucs" are. However, if you look up "fond" in Larousse Gastrononmique (a classic French culinary encyclopedia) fond is listed under stock, a "fond blanc" is a white stock while a "fond brun" refers to a brown stock.
In the end, what really matters is that people are in the kitchen cooking and that they are practicing the skills and techniques; but, I have to say...when I hear some one say "fond" I do think "oh too bad, they don't know" :-)
As a food writer, I read this thread with interest. I, too, want to be accurate and not confuse anyone -- myself included. Terminology is important but context can be, too.
My mom just called them "those little brown bits" and everyone knew what she meant. When, through one of your videos, I learned they were called sucs, I though, "There's a NAME for those things?!" Even though I now know better, I still call them "those little brown bits" -- at least when I'm not near culinary professionals.
No matter what you call them, this recipe is one of my favourites. But then again, I'm a cilantro fanatic. Or is it coriander? :-)
I don't really care what they're called either Charmian; I don't care to engage in arguments over semantics, so long (for the sake of learning) as the same term is used consistently to avoid confusion. We can call them "those little brown bits" or "pan scabs" as far as I care.
Uh . . . hmm . . . . actually I prefer "little brown bits" I think.
How about Sweet Underlying Carmelized Succulents?
Or, we could call them "sucs" for short! ;o)
Happy Cooking!
Hi all;
This is my first post to the discussion area here, and let me just say that I've got a HUGE crush on Rouxbe! I'm telling everyone I see about it (up to and including the teller at my bank!!) and how great the website is. THANK YOU!!
Okay, now gushing aside, I have a question.
I'm getting ready to make my first brine... I've never had brined meat (that I know of) but I know lots of people who've just raved about it, so I thought I'd give it a go.
It seems pretty easy and I'm fairly confident about it all, but I was wondering this:
I am going to be brining a pork tenderloin. I'd like to go with a sweet/low-salt brine for this piece of meat and I'm wondering if instead of or in addition to the apple cider called for in the apple cider brine if I could substitute apple cores and peelings from fresh apples?
Anyone ever tried this?
Thanks so much, and happy mother's day!
Glad you are enjoying Rouxbe! You might want to check out the lesson on How to Brine in the Cooking School. There is plenty of good information in there that will help you understand the brining process. Yes, you certainly can add any sort of aromatics and flavorings to a brine to personalize it. Enjoy the school! Cheers!
If your roasting pan cannot be used on the stovetop then you could just add s bit of liquid (stockt, wine or water) to the pan, off of the heat. Then scrap the sucs from the bottom as best you can. The residual heat should still make that pretty easy to do. Then transfer that to a pot or saucepan and continue to make the sauce from there.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
I typically deglaze the Roaster immediately after removing from the oven with a bit of wine (the retained heat is sufficient if you do it quickly), and then transfer to a heavy sauce pan. I don't ever make my pan sauces in a roaster even though I have a few really nice ones. They're just to unwieldy for me.
Happy Cooking!
This has happened to me many times, I test the chicken in every way possible, all say it is done, but, after resting, the juices do not appear clear. In your video, the juices do not look clear, in fact it's a bit pink.
This problem has been my greatest in roasting, and I end up putting it back in the oven, which is a recipe for dried out chicken.
I am truly confused.
This has happened to me as well; however, as long as the thickest part of the thigh and breast reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit, the poultry is safe to eat. The pigments in the bones and tissue can sometimes affect the color of the juices. You can read a bit more about the color of meat and poultry here. Cheers!
The only hitch I had with this was in making the cilantro paste. My first batch had a remarkably bitter taste. I knew something was wrong since it was supposed to be a delicious base for a salad. I was very careful to zest only the yellow parts of the lemon but I made a second batch with no lemon zest and it was much better. Is it possible that the kind of lemon I had was not good for zesting?
Otherwise, I brined the chicken and it was the best roast chicken I have ever made. Scrumptious!
Hard to say for sure, but perhaps you just had a lemon that was not good or it was just particularly bitter? I am an absolute fan of lemon zest and use it in many dishes and I can't say that I have found it to be too bitter (as long as I don't use the pith). Perhaps next time, try using a bit less and/or make sure to wash your lemons well before zesting them. Hope that helps. Cheers!

A Dinner in Castle Combe, the Prettiest Village in England: Our dinner at the Castle Inn tonight was part of a tour to Castle Combe to see the "prettiest village in England". Before dinner, we had time to wonder around the village which looks like it's been frozen in time. Except for a few cars parked in the streets, there were no traces of modern intervention in Castle Combe - no WiFi hotspot signs, TV aerials or ugly power cables. In fact, I don't even remember seeing any street lights … [Read more...]

From our hotel in Bristol it was a 50 minutes drive to Castle Combe and peak hour traffic jams meant that we were a little late arriving. We … [Read more...]

Hazel Dell Square
Project Details
Gramor Development hired Mackenzie to provide architectural and structural engineering services for three buildings in this five-building, eight-acre retail center at NE 78th Street and Hazel Dell Avenue. Mackenzie provided design services for buildings one, two, and four, 37,629 SF of the center's total 68,153 SF. The buildings' designs include varied elements and materials, including brick veneer, stone, stucco, sloped roofs, canopies, and steel and wood accent features. The client desired the use of moment frames within the building to allow for larger storefront openings, providing a greater visibility into the tenant spaces. Phasing of the project accommodated relocation of an existing tenant to one of the new buildings prior to demolition work to make room for the balance of the new development.

Even though this result is interesting and the experiments were carefully executed, several questions readily come to mind. The biochemical characterization of the soluble and insoluble fractions compared to the initial transgenic extract is quite modest, as only monomeric Aβ levels are reported. In my opinion, it would have been more relevant to document the relative content of oligomeric Aβ molecules (dimers, trimers, Aβ*56, and annular protofibrils) present in all source material used, especially since the potential involvement of these species is suggested by the authors in the discussion. For instance, multiple Aβ antibodies could have been used to further characterize the source material (by Western blot or ELISA). Without such analyses, it is difficult to extrapolate on the nature of the assemblies responsible for the induced amyloidosis. The last presented experiment using various durations of sonication might indicate that the "soluble" molecules at play are bound to plaques. If it is the case, one would expect to see increased Aβ dimers in the fraction most sonicated, as dimers were previously shown to bind to plaques (Shankar et al., 2008). Finally, it would have been intriguing to compare the soluble fraction of the transgenic extract containing 1 percent of total Aβ with an injectate made of the insoluble fraction containing that same 1 percent of total Aβ. Doing so would allow for a better appreciation of the relative importance of the nature (oligomeric vs. fibrillar) of the Aβ species involved in these effects. View all comments by Sylvain Lesne

By Mae Anderson The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A last-minute jump in spending seems to have saved the holiday shopping season for stores.
Major retailers including Costco, Gap and Nordstrom on Thursday reported better-than-expected revenue in December. That comes as a relief for stores that can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the winter holiday shopping period that runs from November through the end of December.
Americans initially spent cautiously during the holiday season because of the damage after superstorm Sandy. Then, they were consumed by fears about the possibility of the U.S. economy falling off the "fiscal cliff," triggering major budget cuts and tax increases that would mean much less money in their pockets. But they loosened their purse strings in the final shopping days of the year.
Twenty retailers reported that revenue at stores open at least a year - a figure that indicates a retailers' health - rose an average of 4.5 percent in December compared with the year-ago period, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. That's on the high end of the expected range of 4 percent to 4.5 percent. Only a small group of stores representing about 13 percent of the $2.4 trillion U.S. retail industry report monthly revenue, but the data offers a snapshot of consumer spending.
"I wouldn't be doing cartwheels that it was a particularly great or strong holiday season, but it could have been worse given the headwinds," said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics, a research firm. "The government and Mother Nature were not as cooperative as retailers would have liked. But it was definitely not as bad as feared."
December's results provide a brighter picture than reports earlier in the month that proclaimed that the holiday shopping season was shaping up to be the worst since 2008, when the U.S. was in a deep recession.
To be sure, the season had multiple fits and starts, with healthy spending during certain periods followed by stretches of tepid sales. Overall, revenue for the combined months of November and December rose 3.1 percent, slightly above of the 3 percent rise the ICSC had predicted.
Sales were weak at the beginning of November in the wake of Sandy on the Northeast and the U.S. presidential campaign. Then, there was a surge during the four-day Thanksgiving weekend. Spending fell off after that until a shopping rush around right before and after Christmas, when some stores began offering bigger discounts.
"That last-minute shopping, coupled with post-Christmas bargain hunting and early gift-card redemption helped propel sales at the end of the month," said Michael P. Niemira, ICSC's chief economist.

text: This book is broadly organized in three parts. The first section ('Enhancing and Managing Customer Value') focuses on presenting the state-of-knowledge in managing and enhancing customer value through extraction of consumer-centric knowledge from mountains of data that modern interactive applications generate. The extracted information can then be used to provide more personalized information to customers, provide more relevant information or products, and even to create innovative business processes to enhance overall value to customers. The second section in the book ('Computational Approaches for Business Processes') focuses on presenting several specific innovative computing artifacts and tools developed by researchers that are not yet commercially used. These represent cutting-edge thought and advances in business computing research that should soon find utility in real-world applications or as a tool to analyze real-world scenarios.The final section in the book ('Supporting Knowledge Enterprise') presents approaches and frameworks that focus on ability of an enterprise to analyze, build, and protect computing infrastructure that supports value-added dimensions to the enterprise's existing business processes.

From the Panhandle's home for good news and great mornings, Chef Bud Andersen's recipe for Pulled Pork Tacos.
4 lbs pork butt or shoulder (bone in and fat cap on)
1 C fresh squeezed orange juice (about 3 oranges)
2/3 C fresh squeezed lime juice (about 6 limes)
1 head garlic (peeled)
½ ea small sweet onion
1 tsp fresh oregano (dried works as well)
½ tsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp canola oil
1 ea small head of red cabbage (shredded)
1 Tblspn sugar
Corn or flour tortillas
Sour cream
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
Cut many slits in the pork, and stuff with the aromatics. Season the outside liberally with kosher salt, coarse black pepper and a touch more oregano. In a sealable container, combine the pork butt with the orange juice, lime juice, red wine vinegar and canola oil. Let marinate at least 6 hours up to overnight (which adds incredible flavor)
After marinating, place pork and marinade in a pan, cover with film and foil. Place in a 300 degree preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours. Turn the pork over halfway through the cooking process. You will know it is ready when the meat starts falling off the bone. You can also test it by giving it a fork test to see if the meat is easy to shred.
An hour before serving, shred the red cabbage and add vinegar, salt and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
When the pork is done, use two forks to shred and pull apart the meat. You can also drizzle over more of the cooked marinade. Warm tortillas on a flat grill or in a pan, place the shredded pork in the middle of the tortilla, dollop some sour cream, top with quick pickled cabbage, and garnish with cilantro. You cadd some red pepper flakes to the cooked marinade for a spicy taco sauce. Enjoy!

Gov. Hassan Urges Drivers To Get Off The Roads
New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan asks for drivers to be off the roads by 7 p.m. Hassan expects residents will exercise caution as blizzard like conditions begin to bear down on New England.
The governor's vote of confidence came after her counterpart to the south, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick issued an executive order barring drivers from bay state roads after 4 p.m. At an afternoon news conference with state emergency officials, Hassan said closing New Hampshire's roads never crossed her mind.
"Well I think it's really important that we do what we always do in the Granite State, which is use our judgment, and make sure that people have the opportunity to get to where they need to be."
But New Hampshire will close its state run liquor stores at 6 p.m. Forecasters expect two feet of snow to fall in parts of state, but safety officials don't anticipate large or widespread power outages.

Good beach for families. A lot of space, good ocean coast for kids and non-swimming people. Can find interesting crabs-horse shoes. Don't touch them, just take a look! Lucky ones can sea swimming dolphins.
One of the perks of this particular beach is the lack of crabs, most others around are crab galore! I know it can't be controlled, but it was great to go and not have to think of those sideways crabs! Family friendly, you can mingle as you please and it is not overly crowded, or it wasn't the day we... More
Went with my daughter and grandkids. It was a really great day to be at the beach. Everyone had a great time.
Great beach area for families with smaller children. Waves are smaller than at the oceanfront and generally the water temps are a few degrees warmer. Plus the beach is less crowded making it easier for parents to watch their kids. Unless you go to the state park, finding a parking place in somes areas can be a real challenge unless... More
Just over the berm from my sons place..Visiting with my daughter, granddaughter and daughter in law....No one crowding us water was warm, sand clean and tiny surf...Perfect on a hot and humid July day.
Sand and sea - what else do you need?! A gentle sea so warm it's almost like walking into a bath, that laps onto clean sand. Perfect for families. Bring drinks and a sunshade for a great afternoon.
This is a quiet family beach with softly lapping water that is wonderful for young children. A lovely place to enjoy the beach.
Had my sons rehearsal dinner, we had the fish & chicken tacos which came with all the sided. Having our own private area made the rehearsal dinner even better. Great service, you could not have asked for a better waitress, she gave us all her attention. We even had T-Shirts ordered for everyone in the bridal party. A fun place... More

text: Home Culture What Is a 'Feminista,' Exactly? She's not a hairy, man-hating woman, says Feminista author Erica Kennedy. This modern woman is smart as hell and not afraid to flex. By: Rebecca Walker Posted: Sept. 24 2009 6:55 AM 0 Editor's note, June 15, 2012: The staff of The Root was saddened to learn of the recent death of writer Erica Kennedy. We will update our readers with more news about this tragic development as it comes in. Erica Kennedy and I go way back … to Facebook. We "met" last year while she was living in Miami writing her new novel, the just released Feminista (St. Martin's Press), and I was living in Hawaii enjoying controversy about my then just-released memoir, Baby Love (Riverhead Books). Somewhere between talking about writing, mental illness, having babies and Pharrell's impressive collection of Hermes murses, we shook our heads about grown-up things having to do with race, gender and advertising, and became Facebook friends. Turns out I wasn't the only one caught up in the rapture of Erica's hilarious prose tacked onto shots of herself on Lincoln Road in floral dresses from the flea market. Erica was assembling a team. With a laptop and Wi-Fi connection, she was convening a global feminista posse: some powerful women with opinions. The sisterhood went into full effect around Obama's campaign and election, like everything else on the planet. We live-chatted the presidential debates, live-cried the inauguration and live-cheered Obama's signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Act for Equal Pay. Since then, we've OMG'd and SMH'd at Chris Brown on Larry King, weighed in on therapy for Kanye and tattoo removal for the endlessly irresistible, on-the-verge Amber Rose. We've ROFLMAO at too many things to list. And we owe it all to Erica. I've never met Erica or any of the other feministas I talk to on Facebook at least twice a week, but I feel like I know something precious about them, and they know something precious about me: We're smart as hell and not afraid to flex. We shop hard, love harder and care about the world even more. Which is kind of what Sydney Zamora, the heroine of Erica's new book, does, and it's kind of why I love her. I also love her because she cracks me up, like seriously made me laugh out loud while reading, and because underneath her tough exterior lies a woman who, like every other human being, just wants to be loved. The Root: So what is a feminista? Erica Kennedy: I never felt comfortable calling myself a feminist because that word has so many negative connotations. The stereotype of the hairy, man-hating woman is just that—a stereotype, a caricature that no longer exists. And there's a reason that woman no longer exists. Because we've proven ourselves.
