LONDON: Yesterday the French overseas region of La Reunion signed a membership agreement to join The Climate Group as a government partner, at a ceremony held in London.
Didier Robert, President of the Regional Council of La Reunion, accompanied by Alin Guezello, Member of the Regional Council in charge of energy and president of La Reunion's Regional Energy Agency, signed The Climate Group's principles at The Climate Group's offices in London.
Luc Bas, Director of European Programmes and International States and Regions, and Mark Kenber, CEO, attended from The Climate Group.
As a partner, La Reunion will work with The Climate Group to continue its pioneering work to obtain its ambitious sustainable development goals, integrate low carbon innovation into society and reach clean energy autonomy by 2030, and is eager to share its experience with the The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance.
Owing to its rich natural environment, Reunion Island has a wealth of clean energy resources including solar, marine, wind and biomass, and has large-scale plans to develop a leading ecological tourism sector.
In order to preserve this natural wealth and assure long-term prosperity for its growing population of currently 800,000 inhabitants, La Reunion follows ambitious sustainability goals, and has declared 2012 its Year of Sustainability.
Since 2007, its GERRI (Green Energy Revolution) project aims to make Reunion Island the first territory in the world where all low carbon innovations are integrated into society by 2030. Such innovations cover transport, tourism, energy production, storage and use, town planning and construction.
The island also aims to attain energy autonomy by 2030 and strives to reach a mix of 100% clean energy by 2025, constituted by biomass (methanisation of effluents and gasification of the biogas), marine energies, photovoltaics and wind energy.
Didier Robert, President, La Reunion, said: "Every child, every woman, every man has within them a new hope for a better world. Every province, region, company and country is responsible for building the Clean Revolution. La Reunion is a land proud of its multiculturalism, its diversity, its forests, its lagoons, and is proud to take part in this great movement of ecological generosity promoted by The Climate Group"
Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group, said: "La Reunion is a clear example of how low carbon development can be applied to preserve a region's natural resources and ensure the long-term prosperity of its economy. We are proud to have La Reunion join our global network of leading states and regions and are looking forward to its contribution to our work for building the Clean Revolution at the sub-national level."

The gentlemen on Pardon The Interruption exceeded the quota for the amount of times one can say some variation of the phrase "circumcising mosquitoes" on live television today. Cowlishaw, quoting (and imitating) Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, gets in two mentions, but Wilbon never gets his chance. These guys have all the fun, up until the mic gets pulled.

Pa. diocese atty. sues feds over Obamacare FOIA
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The federal government is stonewalling the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh in its fight against some health insurance reforms that church officials say conflict with doctrine, including a charge of $1.8 million and up to five years to respond to records requests, a lawyer for the church says in a new lawsuit.
The suit was filed by attorney Paul "Mickey" Pohl in ongoing litigation over whether the diocese will be exempted from providing employee insurance coverage for contraception, sterilization and abortion under the 2010 federal health care overhaul, which takes full effect next year.
The lawsuit contends the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have blocked the church's efforts to obtain records under the Freedom Of Information Act showing how the regulations were developed and whether religious employers will be exempted.
"Defendants' actions show a shocking disregard for their obligations as government officials to comply with the law," Pohl said in the lawsuit filed late Monday. It was first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice, which is defending the lawsuit, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The diocese, which serves about 700,000 Catholics in six southwestern Pennsylvania counties, is one of about 60 faith-based agencies across the country that sued federal agencies over concerns that they'll not be given a religious exemption to provide insurance for procedures and drugs they deem immoral.
The diocese filed a lawsuit last year that called the mandates an "unprecedented government infringement on the religious liberties of religious organizations." A federal judge in Pittsburgh dismissed that lawsuit in November, saying he didn't have jurisdiction because the regulations haven't taken effect and the government has said rules to exempt the religious groups were still being developed.
The diocese has appealed that ruling, in part, because church officials contend they're being forced to plan or make decisions for future employee coverage with no guarantee of such an exemption.
Pohl's FOIA requests, originally made in September, were aimed at gathering 11 types of records including government communications about developing the religious exemptions and the Institute of Medicine, a nongovernment group that helped develop guidelines that included regulations mandating coverage of federally approved contraceptives.
Pohl did not immediately return requests for comment Tuesday, but told the Post-Gazette the Obama administration was heavily lobbied by pharmaceutical firms that would benefit from mandatory insurance coverage of contraceptives as preventative care.
"We're trying to find out what the communication has been back and forth to HHS, and the reason HHS is fighting religious organizations so hard not to change the preventative care mandates," Pohl told the newspaper.
The new lawsuit says government officials eventually lowered the FOIA processing charges to about $25,000 but that covers a fraction of the information Pohl requested. The lawsuit contends the government has been unwilling to meet with Pohl personally to clarify and perhaps streamline his requests and that it could still take the government three years to provide some information.
"Plaintiff cannot wait three years or longer for a response to his requests and has made every reasonable effort to assist the government in responding to appropriate requests," the lawsuit said. "Yet the government has not been cooperative. In fact, it has been patently uncooperative."

WEST POINT, NY—According to an official statement released by the U.S. Military Academy Tuesday, six cadets are dead and 14 wounded after an unsuccessful panty raid on the women's barracks Monday night.
The USMA has not yet released the names of the fallen cadets, but according to the statement, the four male and two female cadets will be posthumously promoted to platoon commander and buried with full military honors.
Company Commander Roger Phillips, a junior at the academy, was among the injured. Currently in a full-body cast, he fell from a third-story window after he was wounded by a bayonet thrust in the tomfoolery.
"A bunch of us were goofing around after lights-out, and we started daring each other to sneak into Bartlett Hall and steal some of the girls' underwear," Phillips said. "I guess, as a result of our training, we just can't help but think strategically. Before we knew it, the whole panty raid had somehow turned into a meticulously planned 16-man undergarment-acquisition mission and reconnaissance force."
According to sources within the academy, male cadets crossed the borders of "women's country" at 2115 hours Monday for a carefully coordinated prank strike on Room 245's personal-underclothes storage facilities. The female cadets, alerted to the coming attack by unsuppressed laughter, were able to put up a solid defense. Before the raiding party reached panty-lock-on range, the female cadets laid down a curtain of machine-gun fire and fell into defensive positions inside their barracks.
"We met with an unexpectedly high level of resistance and spunkiness from the female cadets," Phillips said. "The women engaged us with close-quarters skirmish tactics, and we were forced to drop smoke charges to cover our retreat. We withdrew, pantyless, to an adjoining hall, where we were able to regroup."
"I take full responsibility for the hijinks-related combat fatalities," he added.
Phillips noted that the female cadets' resistance was in the "finest tradition of the service."
The women's accounts confirm Phillips' description of the incident.
"They neutralized our sentry early, through sheer numbers," said Battalion Leader Joanna Russell, who received the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and 10 demerits for her part in repelling the panty raiders. "But once we had beaten back the first wave with small-arms fire and consolidated our strength around the footlockers, it was only a matter of waiting them out. We knew they'd be back, primarily because they hadn't gotten to the panties yet, but also because they'd left [sophomore] Bernie [Holman] gut-shot and bleeding in the hallway. The boys may be a bunch of immature idiots, but they'd never leave a downed man behind."
After placing a sniper-and-spotter team atop the bunk closest to the door, Russell moved to collect the contested panties and place demolition charges among them, in order to prevent their capture and public display, as per standard enemy procedure.
Before the female cadets could retaliate, West Point administrators were alerted to the strategic prank-in-progress by the sound of artillery being moved into a flanking position along the women's barracks. Administrators quickly put a stop to the panty raid by turning on all the lights.
West Point officials released a statement asserting that "unfortunate situations inevitably arise when the heady experience of college life combines with hundreds of hours of field training in tactics and weapons."
"I do not condone the actions of these cadets, and I assure you that the academy board will officially investigate the matter and assign demerits or extra credit as is appropriate," said Lt. Gen. William J. Lennox Jr., West Point's superintendent. "However, as a graduate myself, I know what it's like to be young, highly trained, and away from home for the first time. These young people are just full of youthful exuberance and superior military know-how."
The incident marks the academy's worst horseplay-related incident since the homecoming float competition before the 2002 Army-Navy game. Three gaily decorated and heavily armed parade floats were destroyed in the pep rally, and the academy's famous library was badly damaged by incendiary shells in the confrontation, which claimed the lives of seven West Point cadets, 14 Naval Academy midshipmen, and the Navy goat.

Victims of classic rape often start with denial as well. It seems easier to protect the fragile pieces of the mind from the reality of being overpowered and genitally mutilated/attacked than to work for resolution and healing. Easier to pretend it didn't happen. Easier to pretend it was just a variation of normal. Easier to pretend that everything is "just fine."
Yet the irony is that true mental and emotional health and true healing can only come through the 5 stages of grief. Healing comes through recognizing in all its horror what was done to you, in standing strong and empowered before the perpetrator and accusing them, and then forgiving them because you are better and you are stronger. Healing happens when we bring those uncomfortable feelings and truths to the forefront of our minds, when we cast the darkness away with light.
Within the topic of baby circumcision, the direct opposite of healing is what scientists refer to as the "cycle of abuse" or sometimes the "revolving door." The person who was abused cannot confront his own demons and so he spends his life repeating in a direct way, the abuse that was forced upon him. Perhaps one of the most frequently uttered and yet least rational arguments to continue to support genital amputation in America directly displays the sheer amount of healing our American males need. "I want my son to be like me."
I hope that the families who are left to deal with the crime of circumcision can come together despite the obstacles. I hope that gentle yet thorough truth reigns in their home. I hope that the males struggling with their past are able to rise above the injustice and commit themselves fully to ensuring that none of their children will be violated the way they were violated. To all those touched by circumcision: stand up and say that the cycle stops here! Then welcome your whole, beautiful children into this world and protect them.
Circumcised fathers with intact sons:
This man circumcised his first child, but learned and changed his mind. He stopped the cycle of abuse:

Personally, I've never seen the importance of using a heat protector, I'm one of those people that tends to just dry and style their hair using heat and not think about the damage. I actually rarely use any styling products on my hair apart from Morrocan Oil and a tiny bit of hair spray. I always feel like too many products weigh down my long and fine hair and can leave it looking flat and greasy. However Recently I've been much more open to trying out haircare products,and been surprised at the incredible difference in my hair since updating my "hair care routine".
Tresemme Heat Defence Serum claims to protect hair up to 230C, smooth and fight frizz, help damaged hair from previous heat styling as well as seal in shine. I use a Babyliss Conical Wand on 220C (the highest heat) normally to style my hair so this product is perfect for it. Last week I had a massive hair disaster with my hair dryer which resulted in my hair looking like a dry, frizzy, unmanageable mess. I've noticed if I dont dry my hair properly using a hair dryer attachment and a rounded brush it looks terrible. So to try and counteract this, I dampened it a bit and added a few pumps of the Tresemme Heat Defence Serum and then blow dried it straight using a round brush. The Heat Defence Serum smoothed out all my flyaways and ends, and left my hair looked so soft and shiny without weighed down. I've never used a heat protectant or a hair serum before so I dont have the prior knowledge to compare this to another product. However I've really enjoyed using it and probably will keep this in my hair routine for the time being. Its not done anything bad to my hair so far! I tend to apply this to the ends and mid lengths of my hair while its wet before I dry it. I have also tried using it as a serum to add shine after I've styled it, which worked well at keeping my hair sleek.
Tresemme Heat Defence is £4.38 and you can purchase it from Boots, Superdrug and all major Supermarkets

Awesome fish sandwich! Definite keeper! We did take the previous suggestions and added about 1/2 c. mayo. We also grilled rathered than broiled.

quick ez delicious
Apr 17, 2010
This is an excellent fish sandwich, quick and easy; I used tilapia fillets and they worked well. I agree with the comments about the mayo measurement needing adjustment, I added an additional 1/2 c. to make it thick enough to spread on the rolls, I now have enough for additional sandwiches.
Feb 26, 2010
My husband's not a big fish eater, but really loved these sandwiches. I used tablespoons for the mayo, plus added a tad bit more mayo and hot pepper sauce. Even my three and two year old gobbled these down!!
Feb 19, 2010
So far I have made these sandwiches three times. The first time I made these with cod, the second time with tilapia, the third with chicken breast (our lunch guest had severe fish allergy). Very delicious sandwich which my husband actually requests, so it must be good! All three times the sandwiches turned out tasty. The Caesar Mayonnaise makes the difference.
Feb 19, 2010
These sandwiches are delicious and one I'd make only when my third son is not home, as he's deathly allergic to seafood. This recipe is a keeper, though, and one the rest of my family loves.
Jun 16, 2009
I made this last night and based on the comment that the mayo (maybe) should be 4 tablespoons that's what I did and I would bet that is how it should be. It was really runny otherwise. The flavor is very good - the mayo makes it! I forgot to drizzle the butter and think it would have been a good addition as the fish coating was a little on the crunchy side.
May 9, 2009
i thought these were excellent as is! great taste! made a few times and everyone was very pleased!

JLo's love tweet and Whitney, but no Bobby
Jennifer Lopez tweeted this photo of herself with that backup dancer earlier this week to commemorate Valentine's Day, their first one together, and their only one together as not man and wife. She is totally marrying him. She is totally diving right into that dumpster and pulling out her 4th husband. And it's a nice f-ck you to her 3rd husband for taking his new piece to the Grammys. (Did you see Marc Anthony snap at that girl at one point during the show? He seemed visibly annoyed that she wasn't standing up or sitting down, or something.)
JLo quickly pulled the picture down but not before several media outlets copied the shot. Classic JLo impulse remorse, you know? She is so consumed by love, she says yes hastily. The wedding happens. And then she wakes up and realises the person sleeping next to her is actually disgusting. The wedding is like this photo. She throws it on Twitter and a few hours later she regrets getting so public with her personal life and attempts to shut the door. Too late.
After all this time you'd think she'd learn? No. This is a romantic Dumbass.
Oh but here's another interesting photo that has not been removed from her Twitter. It's from the Grammys in 2000 when JLo was wearing that Versace dress that pretty much made her career. As you can see, she's in between Whitney Houston and Puff Daddy (that was his name...then). In the original shot though, Bobby Brown is standing on the other side of Whitney. JLo bought the photo from the agency, zoomed close, and cut Bobby out. Oh if it were only so easy in real life, you know?

Anastasia Krupnik
Anastasia had a small pink wart on her left thumb. It had appeared shortly after her tenth birthday and was only one of the things that were important about that year. Some of those things were good. Like falling in love with Washburn Cummings, who had a fantastic way of walking. And really getting to know her grandmother, who was ninety-two and lived in a nursing home and could never remember her granddaughter's name. And some of the things were awful. Like being the only girl in the fourth grade with a name too long to fit across a tee shirt without disappearing into her armpits.
And then there was the matter of an impending baby brother. There was no room for him, as Anastasia pointed out to her parents. And what's more, he was entirely unnecessary. So when they told Anastasia she could name the new baby when the time came, she wrote in the back of her green notebook the most terrible name she could think of. Anastasia was prepared.

I've got a Moore at my door; such a bore, to his core
So in Sunday's column, I responded to the statement Aurora Fox producer Charlie Packard issued in advance of last Friday's opening of "The Graduate." He was clearly anticipating some backlash over the company's decision not to let the audience see actor Tracy Shaffer, as Mrs. Robinson, drop her towel and stand naked before young, impressionable Benjamin. So he took the extraordinary step of issuing an advance statement that, among other things, compared nudity with stage violence, in that both can be upsetting to an audience.
If you haven't seen it, you can read that column right here. And if you want to read Charlie's full and unedited statement that got this whole brouhaha started, you can read that right here.
Continuing the dialogue now is the inimitable John Ashton, director of "The Graduate" and a longtime friend to the Colorado theater community. To know John is to love him, but when it comes to this discussion, John thinks I must be thinking with my … well, you know what.
It's been interesting to gauge reader response to my column so far: By advocating for the nudity — in other words, advocating for the scene to be presented as the scene was written — I've come across to some people as a lech, and to others as a sanctimonious prude. John thinks I'm a bit of both at present, hah.
In any event, I wanted to post John Ashton's letter in full, because he's the director, after all, and by golly, he went to all the trouble of writing me a poem — and on Valentine's Day! I think that means we're pinned. Or at least professionally stuck with one another, hah.
John Ashton's letter to The Denver Post:
Denver Post theater critic John Moore says the Aurora Fox is "copping out" and "offending the larger theater community" by deciding not to have our Mrs. Robinson (Tracy Shaffer) appear naked for fifteen seconds in a scene from the current production of "The Graduate."
We felt the nudity was not in any way integral to the tone, message, or even that particular moment in the play. As director, I felt Ms. Shaffer was sexy and powerful enough in the undergarments she strips down to.
When the producers of the original production were faced with the same decision, they opted to show Kathleen Turner naked. Call me cynical, but I believe they based their decision more on financial rather than artistic considerations. Anyway, it turned out to be a good strategy, as that brief moment proved to be one of the critical highlights and box office draws of both the London and New York productions. They had their reasons; we had ours. Can we be so sure which decision is offensive to "the larger theater community"?
In other situations, in other plays, I would certainly argue strenuously for nudity to be included. Not this time. It's "The Graduate" for cryin' out loud.
I have written a small poem on the matter. I trust that in the interests of fair play and journalistic integrity, the last stanza may be acceptable for publication in the newspaper and on website as I wrote it.
To John Moore, theater critic:
The script calls for naked; we have her close to it.
We figured near naked was more than OK.
Not sure what we gain the way you'd have us do it.
Believe me, it's sexy and naughty our way.
Directors and actors will make small adjustments.
They do it on stages wherever you go.
It's done with respect and we hope with good judgement.
It's done without harming what's good in the show.
Journalists sometimes make changes in quotes.
They fix up the grammar and clean up the muck
No daily reporter who takes careful notes
Would dare report truly that someone said (sexual intercourse).
Added bonus:
Tracy Shaffer, who plays Mrs. Robinson, weighs in with her thoughts on her blog:
So what do you all think?

In its simplest form, Oracle NoSQL Database implements a map from user-defined keys (formatted as Strings) to opaque data items. It records version numbers for key/data pairs, but maintains the single latest version in the store. Applications need never worry about reconciling incompatible versions because Oracle NoSQL Database uses single-master replication; the master node always has the most up-to-date value for a given key, while read-only replicas might have slightly older versions. Applications can use version numbers to ensure consistency for read-modify-write operations.
Oracle NoSQL Database hashes keys to provide good distribution over a collection of computers that provide storage for the database. However, applications can take advantage of subkey capabilities to achieve data locality.
A key is the concatenation of a Major Key Path and a Minor Key Path, both of which are specified by the application. All records sharing a Major Key Path are co-located to achieve data locality. Within a co-located collection of Major Key Paths, the full key, comprised of both the Major and Minor Key Paths, provides fast, indexed lookup.
For example, an application storing user profiles might use the profile-name as a Major Key Path and then have several Minor Key Paths for different components of that profile such as email address, name, phone number, etc. Because applications have complete control over the composition and interpretation of keys, different Major Key Paths can have entirely different Minor Key Path structures. Continuing our previous example, one might store user profiles and application profiles in the same store and maintain different Minor Key Paths for each.
Prefix key compression makes storage of key groups efficient.
The value field is stored as a arbitrary byte array. Oracle NoSQL Database makes no internal assumptions about the structure or the data stored within the byte array. Mapping of the byte arrays to data structures (serialization and deserialization) is left up to the application. Applications with very simple data requirements may use values containing simple, fixed record structures. Other applications may use values containing complex structures, a set of named properties (name-value pairs) or other types of self-describing data formats.
There are no restrictions on the size or structure of the value field.

Carl and three of his friends who are avid fishermen decided to visit four of the world's finest sport fishing locations over a period of four years. Each friend had a different favorite location, so they chose the order in which they would take the trips by drawing the place names from a hat. Based on the statements below, what is the first name (Andy, Bill, Carl, or Dennis) and surname (Barrott, Cole, Crowley, or Whelan) of each friend, what was the favorite fishing location of each, and what was the order in which the trips were to be taken?
1. Andy and Barrott work for the same company; Bill is self-employed.
2. The Iceland trip was planned for the year before the Alaska trip, which was not Andy's Favorite destination.
3. Carl and Barrott and their wives frequently play bridge together.
4. Whelan's favorite fishing location was the third trip, which was neither Patagonia nor New Zealand.
5. Whelan and Cole are married; the other two are not.
6. Dennis was disappointed that his favorite destination, New Zealand, was not to be the first; Crowley's favorite destination was planned for the last trip, so he was unsympathetic.
7. Barrott's favorite destination was the first.

Samutprakan, Thailand, 22 February 2010 -- Greenpeace Water Patrol activists take sediment samples from Bangnangkreng canal along Chao Phraya River in Samutprakan Province, around 30 kilometers from Bangkok. Hundreds of factories located in this area discharge their industrial effluents into the water. Greenpeace is calling on the Thai government to proactively tackle chemical contamination of Thailands water resources, beginning with the Chao Phraya River and initiate a legislation that makes it mandatory for industries to disclose all information on usage, release and transfer of hazardous chemicals as a first step to the eventual elimination of toxic chemicals from all industrial production.

Watch These Animals Playing on Slides — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5110768"]
Who doesn't love a good trip down the slide?

The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.

King of the Trident
King of the Trident and King of the Rivers and the Hills were titles used by various river kings from the riverlands prior to the War of Conquest. The titles refer to the numerous rivers in the kingdom, such as the Trident with its three forks and the Blackwater Rush. The hills between the riverlands and the westerlands were also historically contested by river kings and Kings of the Rock.[1]
Numerous houses ruled as First Men river kings, including Houses Fisher, Blackwood, Bracken, and Mudd.[2][3] The Mudds ruled from the Trident to the Neck and reigned as kings for a thousand years before the Andal invasion.[4]
After the Andals divided the riverlands amongst themselves, many petty lords named themselves river king, the most successful of them being the Justman and Teague dynasties.[5] The Hooks were river kings of old, although it is unknown if they were First Men or Andals.[6] The Teagues, the last of the native river kings, were eventually extinguished in the Battle of Six Kings, and the riverlands passed first to the Storm Kings from House Durrandon and then the Kings of the Isles and the Rivers from House Hoare.[2]
During his War of Conquest, Aegon the Conqueror created the title of Lord Paramount of the Trident for the liege lord of the riverlands within the Seven Kingdoms.[6]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
The river lords join the northern bannermen in declaring Robb Stark king at Riverrun.[7]
A Storm of Swords
When Robb, the Young Wolf, gathers his bannermen in Riverrun's Great Hall after campaigning in the westerlands, Greatjon Umber calls out, "King in the North!", to which the river lords respond with "King of the Trident!"[8]
Robb is betrayed and murdered during the Red Wedding at the Twins by his bannermen, the Freys and Boltons, with no known heir made public.
A Dance with Dragons
Tytos Blackwood, the last resisting river lord, reluctantly agrees to swear fealty to the Iron Throne.[9] The title King of the Trident is left vacant.

15 April 2013 at 3.37pm | Comment on this article
Dance ensemble Bern Ballett return to the Linbury Studio Theatre next month to present Witch-hunt, a powerful new work by Cathy Marston based on the true story of Anna Göldi, who was brutally tortured and executed in Switzerland in the eighteenth century. Göldi was the last witch to be executed in Europe. We caught up with Cathy during rehearsals to find out more:
How did you discover Anna Göldi and what inspired you to create a ballet based on her story?
The idea came through the music. I was asked to collaborate with chamber orchestra Camerata Bern on a piece with Baroque music, and I became interested in the fact that so many witch-hunts took place in Switzerland during the Baroque era. I found it very strange that such structured, upright music was contemporary to such an underhand and horrific process like the witch-hunts.
Dramaturg Edward Kemp and I were drawn to Anna Göldi's story in particular. It's rather well-known in Switzerland thanks to three books, a film, a museum, and an human rights prize in her name!
For the first time, we're going to have spoken word in one of our pieces, to combine text and dance. The words that he has written are minimal, but dense – almost verse-like. An actor will be involved, she plays the character that was supposedly bewitched. She accused, and thus condemned, Göldi. She has been dead for over 200 years, but is unable to rest at peace. Now, as the living people of the 21st century decide that Göldi was innocent, the accusor questions her own guilt.
Anna Göldi was executed in 1782. What is the contemporary relevance of her tale?
In 2008, Anna Göldi was officially exonerated by the Swiss Government after a group from Glarus, where she was killed, proved that she had been unjustly tried and killed. This unique turn of events has made her somewhat of an icon for human rights, in particular women's rights.
I am also personally drawn to the story's themes of guilt and innocence, inclusion and exclusion, and how the past changes when viewed from the present.
How would you describe the choreography of Witch-hunt?
Like all of my work, the choreography is a mixture of ballet and contemporary dance. The actual movement, however, is unique to this piece, and I am working closely with the dancers to develop each character's physical way of communicating and developing emotionally.
You were previously an Associate Artist with The Royal Ballet. How did this help you to develop your craft?
Being given the chance to make work and experiment with the support of the Royal Opera House technical departments and artistic staff was a wonderful experience. I have also taken a lot from The Royal Ballet tradition, particularly with narrative work.
Later, when I worked with small group of freelance dancers under the banner of ROH2, I was able to develop my method more fully. The production of Ghosts was the major outcome of this – a work that I'm still very proud of.
How do you feel about coming back to ROH to present a new work with Bern Ballett?
This will be my last work with Bern Ballett, and it feels very good to bring it home to the Royal Opera House. Keeping my London audience up-to-date with my choreographic journey is very important to me and now, as I embark on the next chapter of my career, I want to continue my close relationship with the ROH, the UK, and other artists who live and work here.
Why should audiences come and see Witch-hunt?
Not only will it be a compelling dance-drama with dynamic and expressive movement, but the story will challenge you. It will make you question ideas about guilt, innocence and memory, and you will get that amazed 'wiped out' feeling you get after watching something that has completely absorbed you for an hour!
Witch-hunt runs from 22 - 25 May 2013. Tickets are available now.

You want some St. Pat's green? You got it. While we don't (yet) have a specific St. Patrick's Day card, that doesn't mean we neglect green. In fact, a rich bright green is one of the signatures colors here at J.Falkner Cards.
We have a chartreuse notebook, chirping away (see above).
We have a buzzy green notepad, gathering all your to-dos.
And, of course, we have many green-colored cards, including this one with a quote from Coco Chanel (above).
We even have little green cards, like this Bee's Knees enclosure card (above) which measures just 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches — the perfect size to adorn a little gift, or hostess present.
Find all our cards , because though St Patrick's Day comes but one day a year, we believe in celebrating green all year round.

Chick-fil-A Gifts 100-Year-Old Customer Free Food for Life
Chick-fil-A staffers in Florida threw a grand 100th birthday bash for one of their most beloved customers. Every week for the past 20 years, Stephen Bellissimo has visited the chain's Oldsmar location, where he's sat in the same booth and eaten the same two rotating orders of food, according to local Fox affiliate WTVT.
10 Things You Didn't Know About Chick-fil-A
Restaurant staffers, who've grown to know the sweet centenarian as "Mr. Steve," surprised him on his special day by decorating his booth and gifting him free Chick-fil-A for life.
"Oh, I think this is just one great surprise for me," he graciously told the outlet. "I didn't expect anything like this."
Believe it or not, Bellissimo frequented the Tampa-area eatery daily before switching to once a week. The switch-up happened just last year after he fell and injured himself. But now that he's been guaranteed free food at the joint, he says he'll be back every day.
Most registered dieticians probably wouldn't suggest eating that much fried chicken to live a long and healthful life, but there are plenty of 100-year-olds who attribute their longevity to junk food. Elderly men and women from around the globe have credited their vitality to Guinness, potato chips and beer, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, whisky, and red wine. Even 96-year-old Betty White claims that hot dogs are the secret to a long life. Forget the fountain of youth; stay young and beautiful with America's 75 best hot dogs instead.

NEW DELHI: Today Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched a national electric vehicle plan which will help accelerate consumer adoption and domestic manufacturing of the low carbon transport in India.
The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) aims to improve national energy security, increase domestic manufacturing and tackle the environmental impacts of the automotive industry. It includes a total investment of over Rs 23,000 crore to be equally shared between the Government and the automotive industry.
Manmohan Singh expressed his fresh support for electric vehicles (EVs) at the NEMMP launch, which was attended by transport industry leaders and expert researchers. He said: "These technologies are not only more efficient but they are also cleaner. They have the potential of contributing substantially to our efforts for mitigating the adverse impact of economic development on the environment."
The Prime Minister also explained how producing electric vehicles in India will ease the nation's reliance on imported petrol, but that hurdles still exist to widespread EV adoption which is why it is "necessary to create an eco-system where these technologies can be nurtured." He then offered a reassuring promise of urgent action: "The Government is committed to work with industry and other stakeholders to make it happen."
Manmohan Singh concluded his speech with: "[NEMMP 2020] gives me the confidence to believe that the automotive industry, which has been at the forefront of Indian manufacturing, will be able to fully realize the potential that exists in our country for the new technologies."
NEMMP 2020, the mission document for the NMEM that was approved in August 2012, sets out the joint Government and industry vision and targets for electric and hybrids technologies by 2020.
Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group commented: "The long awaited electric mobility mission plan is a welcome and important milestone in the clean revolution of India's automotive industry. But to ensure effective scale-up of EVs, the Government must continue to funnel funding into supporting adoption by commercial fleets and get the necessary charging infrastructure in place. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is clearly aware, the production of hybrid and electric vehicles in India is an investment that will deliver economic growth, quality jobs and a cleaner future for the nation."

As long as you boil the garlic/oil stuff it should be fine. If it is contaminated and growing then I would not want to ingest it uncooked at any time, I hear that 1mg of botulinum toxin can kill 1,000,000 guinea pigs (think it was guinea pigs, if not then probably hampsters, and I have no idea who decided to test this). Point being that the lethal dose of the toxin is very low, which is one reason I cannot understand why someone would pay to have it injected into their skin for cosmetic reasons. I had one person tell me that botox is not a toxin, we argued and she never did come around, can't remember her major, I just hope she is not premed... Course if she takes micro then she'll get straightened out, everyone should take micro, not just a sanitation/food safety course since those tend to breed fear and paranoia (no offense, I've experienced it myself before taking a real micro course). When will people learn that nonpathogenic microbes are our friends and that overuse and misuse of antibiotics and antimicrobial products is going to lead to (and in some cases has already led to) uncurable disesases...

Post subject: Cold Water V. Boiling Water
In reference to cooking by boiling my grandma always said that if it comes from the "cold" earth, like potatoes, you start it in cold water. If it comes from the "hot" air, above ground, you start it in boiling water. Also, I find that boiling the potatoes whole results in a better product than peeling the potato first. It seems to preserve the structure of the starch plus it is easier to peel the potato after boiling if you don't like the skins.

Post subject: More on the Botulism
So now I am in food microbiology and botulism is a popular topic, especially since there has been a recent outbreak associated with carrot juice of all things. Turns out that several outbreaks have been associated with the garlic in oil mix. My professor said the main problem is that the mixture is often set out on the counter/table for its storage, the oil excludes oxygen and so the botulism spores germinate and grow. If this mixture was cooled and kept in the fridge then this would not be a problem because only one kind of botulism grows at refridgeration temperatures and it is pretty much only associated with seafood (which is why it is a bad idea and illegal for stores to have fresh seafood vacuum packed unless it is frozen). So boil it to get rid of the growing cells and the toxin and keep it cold and this stuff should be rather safe and likely keep for a long time

Post subject: COLD WATER AND OTHER STUFF
The reason one should always!!!.. start their potatoes in cold water... Is for the simple reason of evenly cooked potatoes. If you plce the potatoes in cold water , then turn up the heat, the whole mass of the potato will heat up evenly and cook evenly. But if you would put your potatoes into boiling water the outside of the potatoes will cook faster then the cold interior of the potatos, resulting in undercooked insides and mushy overcooked outsides usually resulting in mirky startchy water. A loss in nutrients and potato.
i like to season potatos after to make sure not to much salt is in the boiling water. but could add herbs, bay leaf, whatever.
I usually don't cover the pot either, just have enough water to cover the potatoes, find it nice to drain the potatoes and let steam excess moisture ( the moisture is just water and you want to replace it with good stuff like cream, garlic, butter, etc.)
i was told it is better to mix in your cream and seasoning first till just combined.. then finish with the butter after.. as the potatoes will absorb lots of the cream... and the butter isn;t lost.. it is accented better i the dish if added at the end.

Post subject: Garlic in oil
Under no circumstances should you try to preserve garlic in olive oil. Clostridium botulinum is one bacteria that just doesn't give a darn how much you think you know about cooking and food safety.
It grows in soil, so garlic is especially problematic.
The worst part is the way it kills you. The toxin paralyzes your muscles and you slowly suffocate.

Post subject: NYTimes
Hey Mike --- I was reading up on mashed potatoes in the NYT and saw that you were interviewed. Way to go!!! I do have a theory on why mashed potatoes become tacky when over-worked. Could it be the protein in them potatoes? Sort of like gluten in flour during kneading. Ground meats do this, too... which explains the firm textures of hotdogs and such.

Post subject: Quick tips
Russets are tough to work with in texture. I prefer to use red potatoes--just a little TLC with a hand mixer produces creamy without the gumminess. Leaving in their skins adds a little texture, which I love. They're probably more trouble than it's worth to actually peel since the skins are thin and the potatoes tend to be small.
I haven't tried pre-roasting the garlic (sounds delicious though!), but boil peeled, crushed (slightly) clove with my potatoes and a little bit of chicken broth and use a little of that liquid along with sour cream and plenty of butter to mash with them.
Amazing, isn't it, how many different tricks and variations there are for an old standard like mashed potatoes?
Thanks for your fantastic site!

Post subject: Tips for increasing the recipe?
I'm interested in using this recipe at an upcoming pot luck, and want to feed 20-24 people.
Do I just triple all of the ingredients?
Do the cooking times need to be extended?
Much obliged,

>>triple the recipe
Chris -
essentially yes - I would advise:
do not add all your liquids in one batch - the amount of moisture remaining on the (cooked) potatoes prior to mashing affects how much liquid/cream you need for the right consistency.
cooking time: going by the only the clock is not recommended. be sure the chunks of potato are reasonably the same size (even cooking) and go for "fork tender" - use something like a caving fork or an i ce pick, not a dinner fork - stick a potato chunk, lift it vertically out of the water, if it falls back into the pot, potatoes are ready. check several "spots" around the pot...
with that volume, I'd be temped to drain the pot, spread the chunks out on a big sheet to allow the excess moisture to evaporate.
and don't forget to taste as you're going along - the "strength" of your garlic and salt amounts in particular.

Post subject: Another taste
As well as using sour cream instead of heavy cream as has already been suggested, I add grated Parmesan as well. gives a very good flavor. Sorry I don't have any measurements, I go by feel and taste.

Post subject: Re: Tips for increasing the recipe?
Sorry, just found this site so I assume your potluck is over already, but for future reference I will post this. We have done this kind of recipe for very large groups, I use a thin bladed pointed knife to test how done the potatoes are. When they are done we drain them in a large colander and mash them by hand in the pots we cooked them in, this makes potatoes with more lumps and texture. They could be whipped in a mixer or put through a ricer if you want creamer potatoes. We place them in warming trays and store them in a Cambro or warmer to keep them hot until served.
For the kind of thing you are talking about, a 12 quart pot would work well. Wrap some beach towels around the pot to keep it hot.

Post subject: Gummy Mashed Potatoes
I've been cooking for 50+ years. I've used hand-mashers, ricers, and mixers. You can make excellent mashed potatoes with any of these tools. The problem arises when you overcook the potatoes, which happens easily when you cut the raw potatoes into "too small" chunks, then overcook them. Only add enough water to cover. NO more. I like to add salt to the pot before cooking (less salt is necessary this way). Excessive water in the potatoes from too much cooking adds to the mess. It's very important to drain the potatoes when cooked, then place pot back on stove for a few seconds to dry bottom of pot. (I always mash the in the cooking pot to retain heat.) Now, mash until all potatoes are smashed, more if you like really smooth potatoes. Then, slowly begin adding warm milk or cream and butter while mixing. It's not difficult, really. Season to taste.

Post subject: Awesome and cheesy
Mashed potatoes will always be in demand because it is easy to make and it takes less time to get ready. It is a protein-rich food and I simply love it. Mashing could be tricky for a guys like me. I use Breville The Sous Chef for the mashing stage.

well, don't use that one. you need 220v models for Asia.
that aside, a food processor is likely to turn them into glue before you can switch it off.
potato is about 2% protein; legumes roughly ten times that.

Guest blog: Women farmers in Asia speak out
Every day, rural women in Asia face mounting challenges caused by an increasingly broken system of food and agriculture. High food prices, low income, land grabbing, climate change and decreasing control over seeds mark the experiences of the women farmers who grow much of the region's food.
Our Stories, One Journey: Empowering Rural Women in Asia is a traveling journal, recording the thoughts of eight rural women for 10 days in eight different countries. The women write, draw and compose poetry and songs. Their message is simple: help transform agriculture into a more equitable, fair and sustainable system.

ON MENTAL ILLNESS: Deterioration or Improvement with Age
People with major mental illnesses often do not look forward to a happy and comfortable old age. Long term effects of medication, the illnesses, abuse of street drugs if applicable, and unfortunate life circumstances, often generate bleak or no prospects. I have seen a number of my acquaintances in the mental health treatment system deteriorate when they get older, or die of various causes before getting older.
I have seen people, some of whom I once called friends, take a turn for the worse in terms of personality. Sometimes there is no explanation for this deterioration, and sometimes it seems traceable to a traumatic event.
My wife had a friend who ended the friendship over a head of lettuce. The person had received a great deal of money from someone who had been a perpetrator. The influence of this abuser coming back into this person's life seems to have been more than the person could handle, given the preexisting fragility of having a mental illness. (It would have been better for my wife's past friend to refuse the money-accepting the tainted gift carried too high a spiritual price.)
People with mental illness need to take extra care when there has been a difficult event. The medication can only do so much, especially when a person is overwhelmed with difficult emotions, and may lack the skill to handle these emotions.
I believe people are better off if they can organize themselves around a goal. If someone has not decided where they want to go, they can become a victim of the caprices of life's ever-shifting winds.
People who don't have a mental illness are generally programmed to seek success in their work, fulfilling relationships, marriage, a house, a dog and children. Someone with mental illness may find that all of these things are beyond reach. If so, what is to be our life's purpose? This lack of direction can create a great deal of depression, substance abuse, or medication noncompliance. People with mental illness apparently are taught not to try. When we do make an effort to get somewhere, there are multiple avenues of sabotage and discouragement.
The negative shift that some persons with mental illness experience may happen to them in their thirties or forties. When in one's twenties, a person with mental illness hasn't reached the point of realizing that they might have limited prospects. Up to a point, a person still seems optimistic, and still has juice to continue facing challenges. At some point, a person may become tired of trying, and they may just give up.
A person can seem nice enough, and then at some point, they have lost that niceness and have become unable to live among people. It doesn't seem to me like people "snap." Instead, they experience a fairly abrupt downturn, like an aircraft losing altitude. In relatively rare instances, this is accompanied by the person becoming violent. While in other instances, the person just fails to continue doing the basic life maintenance and self care that people must do.
When someone has a loss of functioning like this in middle age, it may lead to long term institutionalization.
On the other hand, there are people with mental illness who improve with age. They are past the worst of their illness and have found a reason to continue. They might be living for that morning coffee or for the sight of a blue jay hanging out in a tree. They might be doing little things that interest them like long walks along the trails, sometimes with a friend. They might have found a lifetime partner, and then again might not.
The rule concerning people with mental illness is that you can't generalize. There is a whole range of possible outcomes, and these outcomes are the responsibility of individuals to forge for themselves. Someone who is external to a person with mental illness can not change the insides of that person. They can encourage and they can assist. And that is all they can do. There is no replacement for someone's willingness to keep trying.
