New questions this hour following a report on how the president's chief political advisor is weighing in on national security decisions.
David Axelrod apparently sitting in on meetings where life and death decisions are being made on terror targets.
So the question is what if President Bush had done that what if Karl role.
When he was in the white house with President Bush was deciding are helping to decide.
On raids terror targets and repercussion that's what would the backlash have Ben then.
Joining me now to discuss it Bradley the former deputy assistant to president George W.
Villager a Wall Street Journal columnist News Corp.
VP and former chief speechwriter for president George W.
And Dana Perino former white house Press Secretary to President Bush and co host of the five.
Panel thank you -- so much for being here Dana I wanna start with you on this one.
The New York Times has a comprehensive report they talked to three dozen former and current administration officials and the consensus is that this was -- meant to be.
Something that would -- the president make him look tough on terror.
A bit but 4000 words into this piece.
They they they mentioned that the president's chief political advisor is sitting in on the president's so called terror Tuesday meetings or at least was for.
Potentially up to two years.
And the question is what on earth would he have been doing there and what would the reaction have been if rove had been doing that with President Bush.
When it was criticism of Karl went when Karl Rove was in the White House and when I joined as press deputy Press Secretary January 2005 he.
Also is elevated he became around that time.
Deputy chief of staff as well.
I didn't ever been on a foreign trip where the president the -- second ago Carl went and in the chief of staff position.
And the left went crazy because why is a political director on a trip.
He was also serving as the deputy chief of staff.
So I don't know exactly what -- arrives clearance was at what time he was provide providing insight and counsel to President Obama perhaps he sat in the back seat and watched.
But then you see eventually.
This -- -- haven't written -- -- New York Times front page yesterday above the fold.
That would have been all the rage for them right this person somehow.
This story got shape input into the New York Times which to me it begs the question of why are we talking about this at all they have a hundred people.
On a conference call to talk about -- should be next to me that's not often volatile webinar a hundred people.
You know that -- there article raises all sorts of questions about whether President Obama.
Is fulfilling his campaign promise that he was going to be a different kind of national security president.
Then President Bush was and I want to take our panel and our viewers back to president Obama's inaugural address.
In January of 2009 where he echoed a sentiment he would -- many times on the campaign trail listen here.
That's more common defense.
We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.
Our founding fathers.
Our founding fathers faced with perils that we can scarcely -- match.
Drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man.
A charter expanded by the blood of generations.
Those ideals still light the world and we will not give them up for expedience sake.
And yet now -- the times article points out that President Obama has effectively continued President Bush's policies of rendition.
Military commissions.
Indefinite detention and it has gone a step further in get it adopting a very broad definition of what's a civilian.
Killed in these drone attacks and what is not.
And and yet he told us that read it -- would reject as false the notion that you had to choose between national security and being true to our ideals.
Let me let me say something at two different levels of the general level what you're talking about.
I'm I'm four -- certainly aggressive pursuit of America's enemies wherever they are I think I would probably justify most of what President Obama is doing here.
The point is I can justify it based on my beliefs -- -- The president my serve put in place it's very hard to square this with in the rhetoric that candidate Obama use to get into office.
And a lot of that rhetoric on the specific level was about an abuse of executive authority in review -- the executive.
And that that was the real criticism of President Bush and one of the leading critics was -- code the dean of the Yale Law School.
About the president's use of executive authority in his claims -- now we read in this times piece that mr.
-- is OK with these.
Targeted killings because John Brennan's in the room and it's like having -- a quote priests in the room.
-- I mean if that's not a definition of executive authority and an expansive executive authority I don't know what is -- -- we should have the Pope and there approving the let's read what.
How does President Obama effectively get away with this type of you know terror program national security program without getting anywhere near the amount of flak.
That you're a former boss did.
Well because the media who created Obama's not going to be the media who takes him down and let's face it I agree that the Obama of 2008 is not the Obama we have today.
The person wanted to be known.
As as a man of peace and a man who could bring countries together is is not the same guy as we have as president who now wants to be known as an executioner.
I wonder -- the Nobel Peace Prize committee.
Would have awarded that same price the Obama of today the fact that he even called the meetings terror Tuesday.
The fact that he has -- kill list the fact that he has actual writers keep political advisor now -- campaign manager in effect.
In on making calls -- -- what terrorist lives what terrorist -- but my nephew was lost in nine elevenths I have.
Every confidence our country is doing everything they can.
Two take on terrorists the problem I have is the duplicity of a president who got into office saying one thing and then doing the other flouting the law.
-- with the -- rendition Guantanamo.
-- -- -- people to trial there's no need for habeas corpus -- you know it's an attorney if the people are dead and that the fact that this president.
Excoriated President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the great work that they did he keeping our nation safe and then he goes and and doubles down.
-- on executive authority that is that is clearly iffy at best with regard to collateral damage and -- to innocents that are being killed in these drone strike -- Not that Dana because you know they talk about it to his standard now for determining what is a civilian deaths in these drone attacks and it it's effectively that if you are a man of military.
Ager you know of majority.
And you are near a terrorist in you get killed in these drone attacks they say they say those men who are near the terrorists are quote probably up to no good.
So they get killed meantime President Bush got ripped for imprisoning people at one time of these people -- just getting -- old.
Right and -- -- read the article it talks about how.
This kill list really test his principles and this in this in his ferocious war and it's pretty over done and meant to be melodramatic.
But it says that was -- the President Obama probably was wrestling with the issue -- -- if I'm going to carry out these drone strikes and civilians are going to be killed I wanted to limit the number of civilians were killed innocent people but how do you get those numbers down.
Well then you might call over to the CIA or DOD and asked them in -- of adult age count even if they're not involved but we can't prove that we might not have time to prove that.
-- -- -- and -- -- -- a civilian casualties and the answer was -- -- -- that might have been the same -- that President Bush and Vice President -- -- it would've gotten back from the CIA and that and DOD -- well.
But imagine.
The outrage and probably senate hearings -- -- calls for impeachment had they done -- And yet you mention the title the title of the article is secret kill list proves -- test of Obama's principles and will.
-- later on Brian Burke stopped all about the imperial presidency under President Bush as well I wanna ask you.
Because he -- president -- now -- -- -- of this attack at this report is taking attacks from both sides.
Here's a former Bush Administration officials saying.
His Obama's liberal reputation and softer packaging have protected him -- the media and then salons green Glen Greenwald as a very interesting piece -- saying he he has put a prettier and more palatable face.
On extremely ugly policies and his argument is that these policies are now mainstream because somebody who's more acceptable to the -- To -- and you know left is behind them.
Yeah I think that's exactly what it comes down to.
President Bush when he was making these decisions was very consciously trying to give.
Future presidents tools to protect the country's -- and he did many of the same things and now we see that the criticisms of President Bush.
We're not about his policies they were because people didn't like President Bush whereas the the willingness to look the other way with president Obama's because they like President Obama.
There's a few scattered criticisms -- it.
By the way but it's nothing like the relentless 24/7.
-- Attack the President Bush -- endured that -- had to deal with that every press conference you'll get the occasional critical piece you will have some on the left that there have been very disappointed.
But there there is no comparison.
Between what President Bush and -- in the second guessing and so forth the New York Times just exposing a program.
Four -- for no reason at all.
And and what we have today -- -- last word your former boss and the vice president were called war criminals and murderers by many on the left we are not really here in that so much.
Now days.
You're not and you know what's worse about.
The decisions that are being made in the people were making these decisions is the fact that these decisions are being made.
For politics they're being made in a PR setting as opposed to a national security setting on how they can use this to bolster the president's credentials for reelection we've seen it in the movies that are being made in the capture bin Laden we're seeing it now with -- release of this information.
This is all about protecting and advancing the president's agenda.
And has very little to do.
With protecting America.
Dosage because he's got a lot of praise actually and some of the right for these policies some on this panel but there is pushed back now.
Panel thank you all so much thank you.

Not sure if you should wear that Tommy Bahama shirt out tonight? The magnificent bastard is here to help. Go ahead. Ask away.
Q: The ascot....I am wearing it. It does have a HDD (High Degree of Difficulty —Ed.) but a real MB can pull it off. Your thoughts on this?—Jason A: The ascot meets at least four core MB principles: 1. Anglophilia. They were first introduced in England. 2. Archaism. In the late 19th century. 3. Exclusivity. It's nearly impossible to find a good one. 4. Senseless Lack of Utility. They are even more useless than a necktie (i.e. they're too short to double as a belt or decent tourniquet in a pinch). In other words, we love them. But can you really pull it off? To answer that question we've created an ascot-wearing "decider" flowchart below to help guide you.

by Kellie -- February 26th 2012 -- pasadena, MD
I've had this phone for about a year and it is terrible! It turns off by its self and the screen fades off and will not work, and the keys stop working. If I would on known about this I wouldn't have bought it.
by Lorrie -- February 16th 2012 -- Sioux Falls, SD
I have had this phone for almost 2 years and have had no problems with it. My only complaint would be the battery life. But I have learned to live with it. This is a phone without frills if that is what you want this is not the phone for you.
by joe -- February 9th 2012 -- streator, IL
The charge time is horrible but the battery life is pretty nice besides that it seems like if I dont charge the phone over night the charge won't even last 8 hours of regular use and it seems like whenever I use another charger that's not the specific charger, the charge is horrible.
by Leea -- February 8th 2012 -- Fernley, VT
For the most part the phone is good, I dropped it in the toilet and after 3 weeks it worked fine, but before that is shuts off from time to time but nothing serious.
by Grace -- January 21st 2012 -- Tucson, AZ
Screen broke 3 months after I got it. After a couple days it decides to work again but only when it's in the slide-in position. Otherwise, the screen fades out and dies completely both ways until it wants to work again. Knowing that, I just used it slide-in for the past several months. But then it broke again recently. Terrible phone.
by Kayla Marie -- January 12th 2012 -- Bryan, OH
Well I have had this phone for a year and it just now turned blue the screen is a deepish blue and I can't see what people I am texting or what they say, can't see anything!! Hate the pone!
by Bob -- December 22nd 2011 -- texas, OR
I have the Cosmo and it is horrible. I hate it, my screen is white, I hate it sooo much.
by casey -- November 26th 2011 -- asdfasd, AL
This phone is the worst piece of technology I have ever dealt with. I thought maybe the first one was just a random flaw, but I had it replaced and ONE month later the new one did the exact same thing. It turns off randomly, ALL of the buttons will randomly stop working except the end button? Terrible phone, I will never buy another and I don't think anyone should if they are expecting normal usage. I consider sending a text lucky.
by Susanne -- October 27th 2011 -- Goochland, VA
Overall, I have been pleased with this phone. I love the slide out keyboard! As of yesterday this is no longer my favorite phone. It had been having random charging issues as well as shutting off for no reason for the last 6 months. It suddenly decided to turn off and wouldn't turn back on. The warranty company sent me a refurbished replacement because they no longer make my phone and it went downhill from there. The replacement phone again, the LG Cosmos has become a haunted phone, randomly shutting off and on for no reason and will not stop. I finally had to take the battery out. Right now I am grateful they no longer make this phone; it appears to need a lot of work.
by Jillian McMahon -- October 23rd 2011 -- Center moriches, NY
The phone is ok. It's not the best phone. Verizon website describes it better than it actually is. It's boring the Internet is hard to see and not easy to use. The battery life is legit HORRIBLE it's in the charger more than it's out. If you like to text don't get this phone. The battery goes down one bar within 5 or 6 text messages. The only way you can get a good battery is if you turn the brightness all the way down. It's very easy to text on though that's the only good part. Oh, and it freezes alot! I can't wait till my next upgrade! Because I will never go back to this phone!

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Asheville, NC
May 15, 2009
After a scenic and mountainous four-hour drive from Dahlonega, Georgia to Asheville, North Carolina, we pull into the parking lot of Liberty Bicycles with most of the beautiful afternoon to spare. As luck would have it, Kevin, the service manger at Liberty and the host of tomorrow's ride, is happy to lead us all on a light recovery ride. The shop is located a block from the Blue Ridge Parkway, so, he says, it only makes sense that we ride up to the top of Mount Pisgah. Our rest day has become nearly 4000' of climbing followed by a 30-minute downhill chase on the some of the curviest, darkest and most disorienting roads. Back in Liberty's parking lot we make plans for dinner and our pre-ride breakdown. At no time during the pre-ride briefing is Stoney Fork road properly introduced.
The next day we ride Craggy Gardens. We average 17.5 mph, climb 8900' and it takes 5:50. It's gorgeous and more epic than expected. The crux of the ride is its hardest climb, a 6-mile gravel road up to the Blue Ridge Parkway from the backside of the mountains. The road is called Stoney Fork.
Ben Lieberson: Stoney Fork is like Paris Roubaix only uphill. The 15% section a mile before the end is just cruel, and ridiculous. You can't convey how hard it is - harder than Brass Town Bald that's for sure. In fact, imagine if they ripped the pavement off Brass Town Bald and dumped a load of rocky gravel on it. Then made it three times as long, that's what Stoney Fork felt like. In a word, that climb is traumatic.
Dan Langlois: It's damp like a jungle and I could hear running water the whole time. The road was covered with soft gravel, really soft gravel. I kept sliding sideways to the low side of the road when the camber got steep in the apex of turns. There was no place to take a drink because I couldn't risk my hands off the bars anywhere. Oh, and I was in my lowest gear right from the start, the whole way up I never shifted, not once.
Steve: I haven't thought about not making it to the top of a climb in a long time. But today I did. It's twice as hard as Brass Town Bald, it felt like we climbed hard for 40-minutes solid. On dirt. And the way we got started was horrible. Right as I looked up to see the pavement ending and the beginning of dirt, we were chased by two dogs, a pit-bull and the other Dan calls a 'North Carolina Brown Dog'. Both were all teeth. So by the time we're 100 feet in, I was already at my max and it just kept going, steeper and steeper and steeper.

The Orlando Magic risk losing shooting guard J.J. Redick for nothing when he hits free agency in July, which is why the team is open to trading him before Thursday's deadline. In a report filed late Tuesday night, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports cites "sources" as saying Redick's agent, Arn Tellem, is likely to ask for a four-year deal worth $40 million for his client. Orlando, according to Wojnarowski, would be willing to re-sign him that would pay him "near the mid-level exception of $5 million per year." The Yahoo! scribe spoke with several league general managers who believe Redick will ultimately land a deal paying him $7 million annually.

The Doctor Double Take
Shelved by: chase2113 on 2012-01-06
R U My Mommy?
9 Comments:
Wrong Doctor, but funny nonetheless.
Was it a different generation of Dr. Who? I know this actor is Dr. Who but I don't get why it's the wrong doctor.
Because the Doctor from The Empty Child (2 part ep, btw, and the best one from that season IMHO) was played by Christopher Eccleston. That's David Tennant. I might have misspelled both those names. :/
meh, he's alright. he's brilliant at doing one shot episodes, but when it comes to a continuation they generally suck.
If you haven't already, check out the BBC Series "Coupling." Penned entirely by Steven Moffat. Very funny show, that was.
the Doctor is the same. he just regenerated. and hey it could be worse... it could be matt smith!

Founders -- of companies, nonprofits, enterprises of every type -- sometimes have a shelf life: ask new gas/Chesapeake Energy phenom Aubrey K. McClendon, who "retired" last week.
Steve Williamson, CEO/founder of Green Country's quasi-governmental, Emergency Medical Services Authority is a gifted leader/public entrepreneur and a nationally renowned figure in emergency services. EMSA provides ambulance carry and a bundle of related medical services to more than 1.1 million people (over 130,000 carries last year) in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and the surrounding areas, and -- if a host of sources are correct -- is one of the very best enterprises of its kind in the country. EMSA's signature effectiveness issues from Williamson's strong leadership and the high expectations culture he has masterfully crafted.
And the agency is driven by state-of-the art ambulance deployment algorithms, superior on-the-spot catastrophic care, a premier paramedic contractor, and a pioneering mobile telemedicine system. EMSA also rocks because of Williamson's peerless success at demanding and getting, the taxpayer dollars needed to run a great public service. In EMSA's case, these dollars are essentially high-level admin/management funds: most EMSA runs are actually covered by via EMSA's special out of pocket arrangement -- funded via water bill fees -- but mostly via regular third party insurance providers.
Why EMSA Matters
EMSA is a rarity: a public agency with an almost cult-like following. The DNA that animates the emergency service "shop" is a way-pointer to leaner, smarter public services. The agency shows how horse-and-buggy local government operations -- ones that haven't changed in decades -- could be rebuilt using network-centric systems, lean staffing, strong work cultures, and predictive mathematics.
At its core, EMSA uses a propulsive, area wide digital model to prepositioning ambulances: all driven by advanced statistical emulation of emergency cases and historic ambulance runs. This hyper-agile response model could be embraced, with variation, by Tulsa's fire service and by parts of the Tulsa Police Department. The RAND Corporation and the Urban Institute have done elaborate studies on rescaled, redefined urban services -- that look like EMSA.
Somewhat less obviously, EMSA's nimble, off-the-grid, architecture could fuel a wildly more responsive bus service for Tulsans at some point in the future: a "bus rapid transit" system of this sort would look more like a late-stage Jackson Pollock painting then the classic, fixed routes that drive Tulsa's current bus system.
The Reckoning
EMSA's ham-fisted handling of a tiny set of customer billing mistakes has gotten outsized attention in the Tulsa World and on T-Town TV since February 2012. These demonstratively trivial errors (apparently less that 0.2 percent of all patient encounters) got far more attention than merited. But recent revelations of high handed outlays and an apparently suspect giant "tax haven" for a long-standing, essential EMSA contractor sparked the current controversy.
And sadly the whole episode is also a leadership failure. Where is Mayor Dewey Bartlett, as the latest phase of our EMSA "crisis" rolls on -- he was on tap earlier, where is he now?
But here's the tragic thing: it looks like Williamson has forfeited the right to run a venture that he brilliantly engineered and shepherded for nearly three decades. And his board isn't far behind: they've failed to see or quench the now challenged raft of smallish but embarrassing "imperial" expenses, the huge contractor tax haven matter, and a couple of arguably serious conflicts of interest. All illuminated via a recent Tulsa World investigation, a City of Tulsa/Management Review examination and a recently completed state audit -- one oddly called for by EMSA itself.
Cross Winds
Having superb, un-hobbled leadership at EMSA just now couldn't get any more important: the agency has fevered, complicated challenges that will surely have tumultuous impacts on its operating future. Two examples:
1) The impact of thousands of additional insured people spawned by the new Obama healthcare insurance requirement may impact ambulance service calls -- because insured people will arguably no longer be frightened by the cost of ambulance pick up and on the spot care stabilization.
But healthcare policy professional/nursing exec Jan Figart of Tulsa's Community Service Council reminds me that any uptake in ambulance/emergency room usage by newly insured Obamacare users will surely be counterbalanced by the stout incentives in the Affordable Care Act to get providers to push down use of emergency care, including EMSA services. Importantly, overuse of emergency care is a dysfunctional driver of Americans' healthcare cost/outlay explosion. Bottom line -- a larger population of insured persons and the pending "switch up" of Obamacare will surely have combustive impacts on EMSA operations, at least in the middle term.
2) A sea change in the way that healthcare pros and consumers monitor personal health dynamics is afoot. We may soon enter a deeply "entangled" period in U.S. medicine -- some call it the "Quantified Self" revolution. People will be routinely tethered, some observers believe, to an array of biosensors and remote-sensing gear, together with smart phones, to continuously track blood pressure, heart rate, blood chemistry metrics, and other key metabolics. We'll use these gizmos and cheap, "everywhere" wireless to convey these details to physicians and for our own use. For people with chronic or volatile conditions, this new world, together with the breakout healthcare info tech initiative managed by OU's David Kendrick and private sister efforts, could be a huge opportunity -- or a monster disrupter -- for EMSA. How the agency responds to this looming transformation might determine its future and profoundly shape health care in Green Country.
The Path
For the sake of EMSA's future, the excellent service it provides to thousands annually, and its outsized value as a model for rethinking other public services in Green Country, Williamson and the bulk of his oversight board -- which arguably hasn't been doing much oversight of late -- need to go.
There is a path forward: Williamson should be asked to retire immediately and simultaneously be retained for six months as a consultant to EMSA while a newly constituted board searches for his successor: one that he could help identify. And in the process, Williamson can transfer some of his deep, unique insight to his junior peers at the agency. Hiring Williamson as a temp consultant, mind you, isn't a golden parachute sop: it is a deeply practical concession to the fact that he's been the only helmsman, the only principal at EMSA; continuity here is incredibly important. Williamson's brilliant "child" and T-Town deserves one more round of his engagement.

Benefits are paid from the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund and are charged to the experience rating record of the base period employers. Employers are charged for a percentage of the benefits paid to eligible unemployed workers in the same proportion as the wages used to qualify the individual. For example, if an unemployed worker has two base period employers, both of whom paid the worker the same amount of wages, then both employer accounts would be charged 50% of the benefits paid to the worker. In some cases, an individual employer is not chargeable, in which case that employer's proportional share of the benefits paid are charged to the trust fund, which means that all employers who contribute to the trust fund share in the expense of the non-charged benefits. An employer's liability for benefit charges are set at the time a worker files an Initial Claim, with the employer's remaining liability (or relieved) for the entire benefit year.
A taxable employer may be relieved* of charges if the reason for separation was:
* IMPORTANT NOTE: A taxable employer's account will not be credited for overpaid benefits if the employer's non-response to request for separation information lead to the improper payment of benefits.

first of all, how is a people oppressed by a dictator better than a "free" people that might develop materialistic and other kinds of superficiality? secondly, if you only wanted to prove your pessimistic view of humanity here why of all very good cases did you choose this one? here's an example of the results of the usage of chemical weapons in the iran-iraq war (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haupx...eature=related) and here's the story of a jewish guy being gruesomly tortured to death by muslims in france calling his parents in the process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilan_Halimi). there's a video of an iranian woman being shot at demonstrations against the unjustly elected mahmoud ahmadinejad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlehNLfk90c). one only has to take a look at the world state of hunger and poverty which is a way greater crime by magnitude than all the other ones mentioned here. this stuff happens every day all the time but you chose a gang rape that accidentally took place on tahrir square.
that's an interesting point. perhaps after at least partially and officially abolishing gene based racism this kind of discrimination is the next for humanity to handle.Perhaps you missed my initial posts, but I started with the claim that I could defend racism on some level. So your observation that I have a negative view of all this "superficiality" isn't quite right. Quite the opposite: I agree with you that it's an inevitable feature of human life. My argument is that people who claim they're better than racists probably aren't. Does this mean I find racism intolerable? Not exactly. It just means I see two types of phenomena on a similar level: judging others because of their somewhat culturally defined ethnicity and judging others based on other types of culturally defined values. The latter includes, for example, not giving someone a job because of what they wear, or consolidating one's ties with a group that drives nice cars, wines and dines at expensive restuarants, has proper table etiquette, etc. So my point contests the idea that the latter group is somehow better than the former. By making that point, I am thereby defending some definitions of racism (I can't cover all my bases as everyone has a different definition) as being just as acceptable as our everyday cultural habits: no better, no worse. But most of us typically think, especially in "multi-cultural" America, that we're just fantastic people compared to those ignorant, naughty racists and sexists! Are we?
yea, actually quite inspiring to look at this form of class division as the equivalent to racism. it is as though people would look for ideas that make them better than others by any means. i guess one counter-argument would be that this kind of division is earned instead of inherited which in a narrow sense probably isn't untrue in many of the cases. still, i mostly find those cases important that are related to real discrimination, not just pre-judging or whatever you want to call it.

Antidepressants are important drugs in the treatment of mental health problems. As such, they are characterized for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME), and monitored for abuse, toxicology and efficacy. This application note from PerkinElmer demonstrates a fast, simple, and highly-effective method to quantify cyclic antidepressants in human plasma by combining a simple and robust sample preparation method with UHPLC and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI LC/MS) analysis. This procedure has the potential to improve sample analysis throughput in clinical research and pharmacokinetic studies.

Severe weather awareness week – Day 4
Severe weather can strike quickly and deadly. It is important to be prepared now while the weather is quiet. The following web story is a transcription from the National Weather Service regarding severe weather awareness week with a few additions.
This is the fourth in a six part series on severe weather safety which is running in conjunction with New York's Severe Weather Awareness Week. Today we discuss the difference between a Tornado Watch and a Tornado Warning, and give you tips on what to do when a watch or warning is issued for your area.What is a Tornado? A tornado is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground. The wind speed inside a tornado ranges from under 100 miles an hour to over 200 miles an hour. they can travel as fast as 70 mph, and can destroy virtually everything in their path. While most tornadoes that occur in central New York are not as strong as their counterparts in the midwest, strong and damaging tornadoes can and do occur here. On May 31st and June 2nd 1998, central New York was hit by several tornadoes, some of which had wind speeds up to 200 mph!What Does a Tornado Watch Mean? A Tornado Watch is issued when conditions are favorable, over a large area, for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. The Tornado Watch is issued to alert you to the possibility that severe thunderstorms are expected to develop ,and that they may produce tornadoes. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issues a tornado watch for many counties and for several hours at a time.What You Should Do When a Tornado Watch is Issued Go about your normal activities, but watch the sky around you for developing storms. Periodically listen to NOAA Weather Radio, or television and radio stations for updates and possible warnings. Know which county you live in, and which ones border your community. If you are on vacation, or driving through an unfamiliar area, remember the name of the county you are in, and where you are in relation to other towns or cities. Know how to get to a safe place quickly if a warning is issued for your area, or if thunderstorms approach.What Does a Tornado Warning Mean? A Tornado Warning is issued when doppler weather radar shows a developing tornado, or a when tornado has been sighted by SKYWARN Severe Weather Spotters, county emergency officials, police, or the public. The warning means a tornado is going to move through your county soon, so you need to take immediate action to protect your life and property. tornado warnings are issued by national weather service offices, typically for one county, or a portion of a county, for up to one hour.What You Should Do When a Tornado Warning is Issued The key is to remain calm, but take immediate action. If you are at home or in a small building, go to the basement or to an interior room on the lowest floor. Closets, bathrooms, and other interior rooms offer the best protection. Get under something sturdy or cover yourself with a mattress. If you are in a school, hospital, or shopping center, go to a pre-designated shelter area. Stay away from large open areas and windows. Do not go outside to your car. If you are in a high-rise building, go to an interior small room or hallway on the lowest floor possible. Do not use the elevator, use the stairs instead. For the best protection, get under something sturdy or drop to your knees facing an interior wall. Lean forward, with your hands shielding your head. Get out of mobile homes or vehicles. They are easily tossed about by strong winds in the tornado. Take shelter in a substantial structure. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in a ditch or low spot, with your hands shielding your head. Never stay inside the mobile home or vehicle.
The weather safety topics for the remainder of the week will be as follows:
Friday: Flooding. Saturday: Communications.

Slightly caramelized, cinnamon and nutmeg-scented yams.

To learn more about kosher salt and why so many chefs use it, watch Topic 2 of "How to Season with Salt" (around 1:30)
It explains what it is and why it is a favorite in many kitchens...and it's not for religious reasons.
For even more information, there is also a drill-down called "Learn About Gourmet Salts". Cheers!
I will be making these tomorrow, along with all of the other rouxbe holiday items. I plan on adding pecans as others have mentioned. Can I simply chop and toss them in while the yams bake or should I roast the nuts separately and add at the end? I am sure both will "work" but I am wondering if baking the nuts for the full time will dry them out.
I do believe there is a difference but I don't know what it is? Here in France the vegetable that looks like what you are using is called "Patate douce" which literally means sweet potato. It's been so long since I've seen sweet potatoes in the US, but I thought they were more round; like potatoes only orangish.
Thanks in advance!
If there ever was a vegetable or recipe to demonstrate the importance of a sharp knife, this is it! I came away from this one with all of my fingers intact, but I had a few close calls. :-) I actually have a pretty decent knife - can't buy a new one right now anyway. Perhaps I should wander over to the "knife sharpening" lessons next...
Those yams were definitely tough, but the recipe turned out great! I'm excited to try it again, since I finally found some kosher salt in my little town. Thankfully I still have some yams in the freezer - already chopped!
Glad that you liked the yams! It is so important to work with a sharp knife, so hope your Christmas wish list comes true. One note about the frozen, raw yams - they might not turn out the same way just because once thawed, there will be excess moisture and they might not brown well or have the same texture. Give it a try, but you might want to keep that knife sharp and cut the yams up as you need them. Cheers!
Maple syrup on sweet potatoes. What could be more heavenly.
I couldn't find the link that Monique was referring to explaining the difference between yams and sweet potatoes, but here is what I was able to find out when I was researching this subject some time ago: botanically, sweet potatoes are from the Ipomoea genus, which makes them related to morning glories. Whether orange or white-fleshed, this is what we are most likely to find in North American supermarkets. Yams are from a totally different family, and not readily available here (Canada). Even if labeled yams, they're probably sweet potatoes.
But, do we really care - either way, they taste so good, and are good for you!
Echo, as I mentioned in your last comment, "ultimately, you are free to make any substitutions that you like. You just need to know that it will alter the final flavor and as long as you are okay with that then feel free to try it."
Then afterwards, access the dish and ask yourself if you liked it? To really know you should try it once with maple syrup and once with just honey. You will see that they are both delicious but they each provide the yams with a different flavor note. Honey is more neutral while maple adds an obvious maple flavor, which is very typical in many holiday and fall recipes.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
When you are first learning to cook it can be intimidating to make substitutions. With things like baking this can be much more tricky but with cooking in general you can often make substitutions. In the end, the worst thing that will happen is that the dish may not turn out, so next time you don't make the same substitution...but the world will not end :-)
Experimenting and making changes and practicing, practicing and practicing is how we all learn. The more you practice and experiment the more you learn and the more confident you will become...it's that simple.
If you are someone that does like to regularly make substitutions then I strongly encourage you to buy a book like "The Flavor Bible", as this will provide you with a bit more guidance as to what ingredients are better suited to each other, so it is not just a guessing game. With that said, you don't have to use it like a bible, again, they are merely suggestions.
Once you start allowing yourself some freedom it will be like riding a bike for the first time without training wheels...it will feel great!
Hope this helps Echo. Cheers!

Alex Dunbar is a news and sports multimedia journalist for CNY Central.
SYRACUSE, NY -- As many people watched the stock market drop, they weren't thinking what it meant for the overall economy - they were thinking about their 401ks and retirement plans.
"I guess I'm concerned a little bit but overall I think for someone my age, when I'm ready to retire I hope Social Security is still there and my money is still there," said Jacob Levine in Syracuse.
Stacy Murphy said she felt helpless as she watched the final numbers come in each day and now tries to look at her retirement plan as a marathon and not a sprint.
"Well, you feel like especially with the debt situation we're in and the dollar going down. It gets a little nerve wracking - you don't know if you're going to bounce back or not. Hopefully you stay in for the long run and it will come out good," said Murphy.
The drop has been frustrating for accountants and financial advisors as well. Not only are they trying to stay positive but some of their clients are panicking.
"I'm fielding all type of phone calls from my clients who are really scared and I have to explain to them - we've seen this before, we'll see this again. Don't panic," said accountant Mario Bottini.
That's just how Melanie Long looks at the stock market. Ever since she started working she's been saving as much as she could for retirement and her son's education. Long says she's ready to ride out whatever comes next.
"So I think as long as things stay status quo, I'll hang in there and be able to retire," said Long.
Many economists say investors should be prepared for more dramatic swings up and down as the markets assess the strength of the worldwide economy.

If you like to get dirty, then we've got three worlds you might want to visit. You can get a peek at all three of them early this evening. They're low in the west as darkness starts to fall.
The most obvious member of the trio is the Moon. Its surface is coated with a powdery dust that sticks to everything. The dust formed as tiny meteoroids pounded the surface, pulverizing volcanic rocks. The dust may become electrically charged, and occasionally levitate above the surface like a spray of dandelion petals.
Look to the right of the Moon for the planet Mars, which looks like an orange star.
Dust coats the surface of Mars, too, along with grains of sand that can form giant dunes. Strong winds push the dunes across the surface. They also sweep particles into the sky, giving it a pink or orange color. And vortexes of wind can create mile-high dust devils that spin across the landscape.
The planet Saturn is well to the lower right of Mars, just barely above the horizon.
Saturn doesn't have a solid surface, but its big moon Titan does. Sand dunes as tall as 30-story buildings completely encircle its middle. They're made of frozen hydrocarbons that start out as tiny droplets in the atmosphere. The droplets come together and partially melt, so they stick together, building up sand grains that fall to the surface.
So if you ever visit any of these dirty worlds, be sure to take along a good broom.

Virtual Currency (VC) in NBA 2K14 is a problem and if consumers don't voice their concerns, it's going to get worse.
Sure, there are ways to get free VC via the mobile app (if you can get it working), but gamers shouldn't be required to use VC to do simple tasks such as changing a lineup. We can understand using it in MyTeam (as it has been successful for EA Sports and Ultimate Team), but to have it added into other modes really has the community fired up. Customization isn't as fun as it once was, since VC is needed to update accessories and the ratio is ridiculous. Could this be next?
While there are many posts here at OS slamming it, other sites such as NeoGAF and Reddit have also been killing it from day one. PastaPadre has written a detailed article on it and the hate is spilling over.
VGRevolution warned users about it last year. Twitter is filled with complaints from users actually purchasing VC and not receiving it or crashing/freezing in modes, losing what they've earned. With no official word from 2K Sports, this is becoming a very large concern.
Where do you stand on VC?
EA Sports has released Madden NFL 25 title update #3 for Xbox 360 and PS3 users today, focusing on an issue with injuries in online CFM games, which caused desyncs.

For years, Madden players have been accustomed to playing EA�s NFL franchise a certain way, and rightfully so. Due to the games shortcomings and exploits, gamers foundMadden to be less of a sim, and more of battle of �who can exploit the most � me, random online guy, or the AI?� That is never a good thing, and definitely not what players are looking for when they want a true NFL simulation experience - one they can feel great about when dropping $60 � on a yearly basis. Madden fans found it routinely easy to exploit the AI defense, the return game, the lack of a pocket (or need to stay within it), and the patterns that the AI typically displayed on both sides of the ball.

Players will be able to step straight into the climactic Pool Hall and immerse themselves in unprecedented hyperrealism.

Of all the PlayStation 4 sports games, NBA 2K14 is the one I have played the most. I have almost exclusively played the new-look My Career mode, where you create an avatar and guide him through the clich� ascent from unknown street baller to NBA champion.
While the premise itself is stale, the mode's presentation is fresh, plus its scope is larger than any previous sports gaming story mode. You'd have to go all the way back to Midway's retired NBA Ballers and Blitz: The League series to find a sports game that put anywhere near as much work into crafting storylines and choreographing cutscenes.

EA Sports had a clear opening opening with NBA Live 14, and they didn�t even realize it.
NBA 2K14 fumbled its launch about as much as 2K Sports could manage, which is to say � there are still some problems, a few of which are quite serious which consumers are facing, but the game is largely quite good.
Connectivity issues, save file issues with MyCAREER, crashes, and some old legacy gameplay issues are hampering the product at this point. A patch has fixed some issues, but many remain it appears.
In all reality, there is a lot you can find wrong with NBA 2K14 if you look hard enough.
And despite the wasted opportunity this year, it's now clear there have been key areas of mismanagement which plague the NBA Live series, and until each is fixed individually, this series has no future.

The 2013 college football season is in full swing! Operation Sports� Dual Threat Podcast is a college football podcast hosted by Matt Cahill, a.k.a. Drab T-Shirt, and Robert Bode, producers at 106.7 The Fan in DC, and they discuss everything college football related with an opinionated and fast-paced show!
In the seventeenth episode of Dual Threat: Season 2, Bode flies solo and discusses the Jameis Winston situation, the incredible Iron Bowl and whether it is the best college football game ever, Auburn AD Jay Jacobs' comments about no SEC team in the BCS title game being a "disservice" to the nation, whether a one loss SEC Champion deserves to jump an undefeated Ohio State team, a projection of which teams would participate in a four team playoff this season, USC's hiring of Steve Sarkisian and the rest of the coaching carousel, and much, much more! Plus, Bode previews and makes his predictions for the two huge Big 12 rivalry games, Oklahoma-Oklahoma State and Texas-Baylor, plus all the conference championship games this weekend; Bowling Green-Northern Illinois, Marshall-Rice, Utah State-Fresno State, Duke-Florida State, Stanford-Arizona State, Ohio State-Michigan State and Missouri-Auburn!
