Killer JoeRSS
Academy award-winning director William Friedkin helms this dark comedy drama/crime thriller, which is written by Tracy Letts and adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winner's play of the same name. The plot concerns a young man by the name of Chris (Emile Hirsch) who panics upon realizing the size of his debt with a drug lord. Without the means to pay and aware his life is in jeopardy, he decides the only solution is to murder his evil mother (played by Gina Gershon) to collect the insurance money. Chris recruits his dad, his mom's ex-husband, to help him with the plan, and together the two hire a hit man by the name of Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey). Interestingly enough, the tough-looking quiet guy is actually a Dallas cop moonlighting as a contract killer. Juno Temple also stars in the role of Dottie, Chris's sister, who unwittingly gets wrapped up in her dad and brother's heinous murder plot.

Two sources have confirmed that Sean Singletary, a star guard from Virginia who attended Penn Charter, Haverford School and Perkiomen School, will be in training camp with the 76ers.
The information first surfaced on CavalierDaily.com. The website said Singletary has ''a conditional contract'' with the team.
The 6-foot Singletary, 24, appeared in 13 games last season with the Phoenix Suns and 24 games with the Charlotte Bobcats. He was a second-round draft choice of the Sacramento Kings in 2008.
He joins Bryant Stith and Ralph Sampson as the only Cavaliers to be named All-Atlantic Coast Conference three times; his No. 44 jersey was retired in a ceremony Feb. 15.
The Sixers will open training camp Sept. 29 at Saint Joseph's University.

Not only is the thoroughbred industry racing swiftly toward the Eclipse Awards, the Academy Awards of horse racing, but this is the time of year when colts and horses are retired to stud.
Not only is the thoroughbred industry racing swiftly toward the Eclipse Awards, the Academy Awards of horse racing, but this is the time of year when colts and horses are retired to stud. To get the careers of these new stallions off to a running start, good business procedure requires stallion managers to get new stallions retired and promoted well in advance of breeding season.
Breeding sheds around the county open in early to mid-February. The traditional opening day of breeding season is Feb. 15, but if a mare comes into heat, or estrous, a little before that day, stallion managers will fudge their opening day a little.
The reason for this is date is two fold. A mare's gestation period is roughly 11 months, and all thoroughbreds born in a given year become one-year-old on the next Jan. 1. In a sport that organizes races by age group, it is advantageous to be "older" than the competition. Horses conceived in February will normally be born, or foaled, in January.
Thoroughbreds race by age. Two-year-olds race against other two-year-olds. Three-year-olds race against other three-year-olds, in general, until late in their three-year-old year.
A foal born in December would be at a huge disadvantage at the races since it would actually be slightly more than a year old when it turns two. Because of the gestation period of horses and the organization of races by age, the breeding season runs from February to July 4, roughly.
Mare owners, a somewhat obsessive group by nature, want to get an early jump on the competition by breeding their mares as early as possible.
There have been three new stallions added to the stallion rosters of Ocala farms in recent weeks.
Undefeated Thunder Moccasin has been retired to stud at Bridlewood Farm.
This son of A. P. Warrior won both of his races, including the Hutcheson Stakes (gr.2) Gulfstream Park, in a brief racing career. The colt that sold for $35,000 as a weanling and $95,000 as yearling before winning $114,300 in a two-race career.
A. P. Warrior, standing at Stonewall Farm, is the second-leading, third crop sire in Florida. Thunder Moccasin will stand for $2,500.
Repole Stable and Ocala Stud will stand Overdriven, another undefeated colt, in partnership at Ocala Stud. Like Thunder Moccasin, Overdriven only started twice, winning both starts, including the Sanford Stakes (gr. 2) at Saratoga and $126,000, according to the American Produce Records. He won his two races by more than a total of seven lengths.
The son of Tale of the Cat is a half-brother to millionaire, grade-two winner Smooth Jazz. Overdriven was a $200,000 weanling purchase and later sold for $350,000 as a yearling. He will stand the 2013 season for $3,000.
A third newcomer is Florida-bred standout Jackson Bend. The son of Hear No Evil will stand at Brent and Crystal Fernung's Journeyman Stud for $5,000. Bred in Florida by Fred and Jane Brei's Jacks or Better Farm, Jackson Bend won nine races, including two grade ones and $1,613,450. He won the 2012 Carter Handicap over top class sprinters Caleb's Posse and Shackleford.
In addition to his top class sprinting ability, Jacks or Better was able to carry his speed to third in the Preakness Stakes (gr. 1). In all, he won or placed in 19 of 28 starts.
He is out of the Tabasco Cat mare Sexy Stockings. Her first three foals, including Jackson Bend, are stakes horses.

With a five-week summer training program at Rudolf Steiner College completed, I am taking this Sunday morning to breathe, to fill a request for over easy eggs from my youngest son, and well, of course, to reflect-blog!
I began my teacher training last year, and this summer was the second in a four-year summer program; my cup is half full. Oddly, it feels both too much and not enough.
(Break for making breakfast.)
Steiner's work in anthroposophy and Waldorf education is monumental. His philosophical ideas and ideals are imbued with science and spirituality that reach out to the cosmos. His advice and teachings have an interdisciplinary range that is vast. His work is informed by multicultural forces of past, present, and future. In our training this summer, we are in our average day giving quality to the consciousness soul, then telling a story about giants, fairies, and queens and how to present with reverence the pentatonic flute to a first grader, then doing a tinikling dance with bamboo, then singing in three part harmony in Hebrew, then doing free-hand geometry, then trying to delineate the four temperaments,then proving the Pythagorean theorem, then reciting Shakespearean sonnets, and finally, in a refreshing and joyful out of character experience with Antje Staub, ending the day with a rap song about antipathy and sympathy!
And this is why processing is so important. The students of the program, teachers in training, have received a generous heap of salad greens to digest, beautifully prepared and presented by our caring intructors. We ate up our plates, wishing for more time to enjoy it. But aside from the lingering flavors on our taste buds, all the goodness of the meal is inside us. We must now allow ourselves to process, to metabolize, to let the nutritive forces of the training to find their way into our muscles and nerves.
In so doing, in entering into the digestive phase, we can hear the quiet murmuring of our bodies, and if you really listen, there is one truth, one maxim, one directive: KNOW ONESELF. In ancient Greek, this aphorism was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. It has been the slogan of the enlightened for over 4000 years, most likely even further back when early humans, without speech or the written word, just knew.
Floating in the ether of too much and not enough, it is best to land on the ground of the SELF. One classmate, Hillary, in a moment of clarity we all shared, said, "I am enough." But the feeling of not being prepared, which we also all shared, especially for those of us about to dive into teaching this Fall, makes one doubt oneself. It is not easy to hold back the tides of insecurity, which can rise and engulf the ground of the self. It is not enough to be barely holding one's head above the water. So how do we have the feeling of being enough?
One must find calmness in simply being. To just be. To be in the realm of ONENESS, the core of the SELF. (The SELF is one of the five spheres of Waldorf education.)
Connecting with the inner self, and being so fully at peace with what is there, I believe will give us the freedom to be fully present and fully in the moment with the children. This is what I love about the Waldorf way: my being, which holds the power of the cosmos, is blessed to teach the children. Not to teach the curriculum, or to be tethered to some prescriptive standard. But to be the author and artist, expressions of the self, to be a teacher. On a practical note, choose what works for you. Gather your bag of curriculum concepts, your bag of Waldorf goodies, then create from the self. On an esoteric note, meditate. According to Chelsey, a friend and classmate, "Inner work is our battle cry!"
Whether you will be in a Waldorf classroom, a homeschooling parent, or are in a quest for inner enlightenment, it all begins with the self.
It all begins now.
(Break for finishing my cup of coffee.)
It all begins now.
(Break for unpacking boxes from moving to our new place in Davis!)
It all begins now!

The AUD/USD did not move much lately but it may break lower based on the latest reversal from 0.9510 where we called end of a wave 5 of C) that is part of a larger running flat correction placed in wave (4).
Notice that decline from the high is overlapping but it can be counted in five waves as leading diagonal. With that in mind, wave 1 can be finished, so be aware of some upward price action in the next few days, but not much as we see wave 2 underway, only a temporary correction that may cause a strong decline in late of August.
Weakness is expected as long as 0.9510 holds.

Three Points: Entertaining Ecuador rally to defeat Honduras
Three quick thoughts on Ecuador's come-from-behind victory over Honduras in Group E.
1. Unfancied fixture throws up plenty of fun
With over a week in the books, the 2014 World Cup has been pure sensory overload. Thirty-one teams -- and England -- willing to keep their feet on the accelerator and Dukes-of-Hazzard their way through every game. You'd have been forgiven for picking Honduras vs. Ecuador as a chance to recharge the batteries, but as has been custom this summer, it was another wild and entertaining clash.
France's 5-2 evisceration of Switzerland earlier on Friday set the tone for what these sides needed to do: attack, attack, attack. That both sides were stuck on zero points after their first games -- Ecuador edged in injury time by the Swiss, 10-man Honduras humbled by Les Bleus -- only served to reinforce the need for victory.
And attack, they both did. It was a sloppy, contentious game full of poor passing and aimless dribbles, but the pace of both attacks opened up countless scoring chances, some of which were converted with panache.
Honduras opened the scoring in surprisingly artful fashion, Carlo Costly taking time away from chewing on a straw, toothpick or piece of Yohan Cabaye's shirt to rifle a shot beyond Alexander Dominguez after Jorge Guagua's botched header merely skidded the ball into Costly's path. All in all, a low-fi version of Luis Suarez's game-winner against England on Thursday afternoon.
Another defensive blunder created the equalizer barely four minutes later, Enner Valencia poking home Juan Carlos Paredes' low angled cross at the back post after Brayan Beckeles lost track of the red-hot striker, who's tallied in six straight games for La Tri.
Thus continued the mania; Jerry Bengtson bundled in a second Honduran goal on the stroke of half-time only for the linesman to wave it off for an inadvertent handball.
With the game knotted 1-1 at halftime, it appeared that only one side possessed the quality to pull away in the second half, and Ecuador did just that on 64 minutes. Another set piece goal, too, Walter Ayovi's lofted delivery finding Valencia alarmingly unmarked in the box, his flicked downward header more than enough to beat Noel Valladares at his back post for his seventh goal in a remarkable run.
A raft of long shots, acrobatic tackles and near misses punctuated the remaining half-hour but Ecuador held on for, on balance, a deserved win.
The victory all but ended Los Catrachos' World Cup campaign -- barring some improbable scorliness -- though the history books will show that thanks to the calendar, they lasted longer in Brazil than both Spain and England. Ecuador, meanwhile, live to fight for second place and take on France next week.
2. Fighting for Second Place
Tim Vickery wrote about Ecuador's battle following a difficult year that saw the sudden death of striker and talisman Christian "Chucho" Benitez. Coach Reinaldo Rueda rallied his side, refocused their efforts and they came to Brazil seeming as strong as ever. The work of Valencia up front, Ayovi in midfield and Jefferson Montero out wide served as galvanizing touchstones upon which the rest of the squad could lean.
They considered themselves unlucky to seize a 1-0 lead over Switzerland, only for naive defending to leave them defeated, 2-1, thanks to a 93rd-minute goal on the counter-attack. Here they fell behind through more slackness at the back but recovered with charm.
Their pace throughout was the difference; a step quicker to every 50-50 ball, a yard sharper on every run, an inch more accurate on the crosses that mattered.
Heading into a tricky contest with high-flying France -- two games, two wins, eight goals scored and just one conceded -- will be the ultimate litmus test for their misshapen side.
It's also worth noting that should they advance, Argentina will be likely waiting for them in the round of 16.
It's too early in the tournament for significant trends but the work of CONCACAF sides at this World Cup has been undeniably impressive.
Often mocked as one of the world's less-powerful footballing regions, North and Central America have rocked nearly all comers so far. Costa Rica beat Uruguay and Italy. The U.S. battled and overcame historical bogey side, Ghana. Thanks to Guillermo Ochoa, Mexico held Brazil to a well-deserved draw after edging Cameroon in their rain-soaked Group A opener.
The only blip on the region is Honduras, but it was to be expected, given their reliance on over-aggressive play in midfield that cost them Wilson Palacios to a second yellow card barely 40 minutes into their opening game against France.
The region has much to be proud of based on the early going. Just don't count on Honduras to contribute before they head home.

Our Point of View, by MEA-MFT President Eric Feaver
Jan-Feb 2010
It would be easy to write yet another dismal editorial about hard times, hard choices in government service and public schools...and what we propose to do about the shape of things to come.
But instead I have chosen herein to share a few hundred words about our union, MEA-MFT, 10 years after merger.
Yes, MEA-MFT is 10 years old this year and growing larger, stronger, ever more committed to our members and the work they do that matters. To check this out, visit http://workthatmatters.org.
Frontier teachers and parents created the Montana Education Association (MEA) in 1882. Seven years before statehood. 128 years ago! We may be the oldest continuing organization of any kind in Montana.
Faculty at the University of Montana organized the first American Federation of Teachers (AFT) local in our state during World War One. Their effort died quickly, but not so long thereafter, teachers in Anaconda and Butte organized AFT locals in their communities.
In 1935, Butte teachers bargained our nation's first ever public school employee negotiated agreement—40 years before the legislature adopted the Montana collective bargaining act!
So, we have indeed been around a bit—and we have operated on the cutting edge throughout our history.
In the last 35 years, MEA-MFT has organized thousands of
public and school employees into hundreds of bargaining units.
We are the largest union by far in Montana, better than 50 percent of the state AFL-CIO.
And we have helped preserve the right of all public and private sector workers to organize and bargain in the face of repeated assaults from the virulently anti-union right-to-work gang.
But we are not now nor have we ever been interested only in bargaining or lobbying for better salaries, health insurance, retirement, and working conditions.
For example:
We remain the largest private provider of teacher and para-educator professional development in Montana. We are the primary protector of state funded, teacher paid days dedicated to the same.
The board of public education will likely never adopt nor amend a rule pertaining to teacher licensure and school accreditation without our input.
The last three superintendents of public instruction have been MEA-MFT members. Not an accident, nor were their elections.
When anti-public school legislators attack, we stand unbending in defense and support of the board of public education and superintendent of public instruction.
We were named plaintiffs in two successful constitutional challenges to inequitable and inadequate state funding of k-12 public schools.
Without us, no full-time kindergarten, no quality educator payment, no loan repayment, and no Montana Virtual Academy.
Were it not for us, anti-public school legislators would have already privatized what we do through tax credits, pay vouchers, and charter schools.
We have earned the enmity of social Darwinists who would rip asunder the fabric of government service. Were it not for us almost any one of the virulent anti-government, anti-public school, anti-tax and spend ballot issues proposed in the last 25 years would have passed.
Without us, no inflation-adjusted Montana minimum wage, no prebudget state employee economic negotiations, no increase in state funding of the faculty optional retirement plan, no opportunity for correctional officers to join the game wardens' retirement plan and thus be eligible for retirement after 20 years, no guaranteed annual benefit adjustment in retirement benefits for teachers and public employees, and no Work that Matters campaign.
So, please give thanks for two unions that merged for all the right reasons—and are proving it 10 years after.
For a brief history of MEA-MFT over the last 35 years or so, read this.

Being on the cover of PASMAG, of course! What else can top this?

What traits do you like most about yourself?

Kisses turn me on. Kisses on my lips, face, neck, anywhere really. Feeling the breath of a man on my neck is another big turn-on. Last, I love to be dominated.

What item of clothing or accessory makes you feel the sexiest?
Definitely my bra!
Have you posed in the nude? If so, how did it make you feel?
Yes, I've posed in my birthday suit before. It's not as big of a deal as many people think. The human body is beautiful and you shouldn't be ashamed of it.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Unless you've been living on another planet, you know that since Nathan Horton landed with the Bruins he's been "excited" about everything.
I'm pretty sure that as long as he's doing it in Boston, spreading bread on butter, pumping gas or any seemingly pedestrian activity is "great" to the always-happy power forward.
In a perfect world, the uptick in intensity from the regular season to the playoffs should spark a similar increase in enthusiasm from Horton. The former Florida Panthers forward, however, has never experienced the NHL playoffs since he reached the game's highest level in 2003. All he knows it what his more seasoned teammates have told him.
"From what I do talk about with guys, you know it's a different game," he said today at Ristuccia Arena after his first-ever NHL playoff practice. "It's one step up from the regular season and every game means something. You're playing in the moment and that's pretty much what they say."
Horton famously came to Boston with the tag as a player that had all the talent in the world but found it difficult to stay motivated and play with the required passion. After a fast start with the Bruins, he hit a lull in December and January that made it look like he was going to live up to his reputation. However, something clicked in February and he became a forechecking, fighting machine that proved to be a perfect complement to season-long linemate Milan Lucic. With Lucic and Horton flanking him, center David Krejci was able to work his magic and combined with the hulking duo to provide the Bruins with a legitimate No. 1 line.
In the playoffs, the cliché about playing every shift like it's your last becomes reality. The postseason should suit Horton's style just fine, as he's transformed into a whirling dervish that can score goals and hit over the last several months. If he doesn't change a thing, Horton should be able to succeed in the playoffs the way he did most of the regular season.
Of course, there have been greater players who were swallowed whole by the playoffs. Everything Horton's heard about the playoffs can't prepare him for the general increase in electricity the postseason brings or the impact having Montreal as the opponent will have on the emotion of not just the players but the crowds.
To his credit, he says he's ready.
"I think I'm pretty confident. This is what you play for as a hockey player and just to be in this situation and be part of this, it's pretty special," he said.
It'll only be special if Horton hits the ground running. The way the Bruins are built, they cannot afford to wait for one of their top goal-scorers to get going. He said when the Bruins traded for him that the new atmosphere would re-start his career, and it took him several months to get going and truly embrace playing passionate hockey in an emotional hockey town.
If anything could wipe the smile off Horton's face and make him think everything's not as great as it seems, it would be an early playoff exit and a goose egg in his goal column. He's waited a long time for this opportunity, so he has to take advantage of it right from the outset.
Horton has been everything the Bruins wanted him to be (a scoring winger) and more (a bruiser and fighter). His chance is now here to add Stanley Cup playoffs hero to his description.

Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

I was so skeptical for so long about these cookies, but trust me. They're delicious, fast, and sooooo simple!ReplyDelete

We must be on the same gluten-free wavelength (or maybe all gluten-free Philadelphians begin to eat alike at some point?!)..I've been making batches of these lately too. I love having an excuse to use mini chocolate chips. :) And these won over my co-workers, surprised that they were naturally g-f.ReplyDelete
I like making these cookies with brown sugar vs white and adding 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp baking soda. This recipe makes a richer cookie. Sometimes I use chunky peanut butter and the chocolate chips. Sometimes I use creamy peanut butter without chocolate chips. They are two very different tasting cookies, but both are excellent. And, like you all said, nobody believes they are GF. ;-)ReplyDelete
Try adding 1 smooshed ripe banana to the mix. Mind-blowing.ReplyDelete

You'll get lots of hype when trying to pick a telescope. But by knowing just a few basics, like the types of telescopes described here, you'll be able to choose the one that's right for your observing interests, lifestyle, and budget.
But there's no one "perfect" telescope — just as there's no such thing as a perfect car. Instead, you should choose a telescope based on your observing interests, lifestyle, and budget. Many (arguably most) good starter scopes cost $400 or more, though some superb choices are available for under $250.
So here is a guide to help you make sense of the "universe" of telescope models available today. Armed with these few basic types of telescopes, you'll have a good idea what to look for (and what to avoid) when scouring the marketplace for your new scope. Get the one that's right for you!
The telescope you want has two essentials: high-quality optics and a steady, smoothly working mount. And all other things being equal, big scopes show more and are easier to use than small ones, as we'll see below. But don't overlook portability and convenience — the best scope for you is the one you'll actually use.
Aperture: A Telescope's Most Important Feature
The most important characteristic of a telescope is its aperture — the diameter of its light-gathering lens or mirror, often called the objective. Look for the telescope's specifications near its focuser, at the front of the tube, or on the box. The aperture's diameter (D) will be expressed either in millimeters or, less commonly, in inches (1 inch equals 25.4 mm). As a rule of thumb, your telescope should have at least 2.8 inches (70 mm) aperture — and preferably more.A larger aperture lets you see fainter objects and finer detail than a smaller one can. But a good small scope can still show you plenty — especially if you live far from city lights. For example, from a dark location you can spot dozens of galaxies beyond our own Milky Way through a scope with an aperture of 80 mm (3.1 inches). But you'd probably need a 6- or 8-inch telescope (like the one shown at right) to see those same galaxies from a typical suburban backyard. And regardless of how bright or dark your skies are, the view through a telescope with plenty of aperture is more impressive than the view of the same object through a smaller scope.
Avoid telescopes that are advertised by their magnification — especially implausibly high powers like 600×. For most purposes, a telescope's maximum useful magnification is 50 times its aperture in inches (or twice its aperture in millimeters) . So you'd need a 12-inch-wide scope to get a decent image at 600×. And even then, you'd need to wait for a night when the observing conditions are perfect.
Types of Telescopes
You'll encounter three basic types of telescopes:
- Refractors have a lens at the front of the tube — it's the type you're probably most familiar with. While generally low maintenance, they quickly get expensive as the aperture increases. In refractor lingo, an apochromat offers better optical quality (and is more expensive) than an achromat of the same size. Watch an animation of light passing through a refractor.
- Reflectors gather light using a mirror at the rear of the main tube. For a given aperture, these are generally the least expensive type, but you'll need to adjust the optical alignment every now and then — more often if you bump it around a lot — but that adjustment (called collimation) is straightforward. Watch an animation of light passing through a reflector.
- Compound (or catadioptric) telescopes, which use a combination of lenses and mirrors, offer compact tubes and relatively light weight; two popular designs you'll often see are called Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutov-Cassegrains. Watch an animation of light passing through a compound telescope.
The objective's focal length (F or FL) is the key to determining the telescope's magnification ("power"). This is simply the objective's focal length divided by that of the eyepiece, which you'll find on its barrel. For example, if a telescope has a focal length of 500 mm and a 25-mm eyepiece, then the magnification is 500/25, or 20×. Most types of telescopes come supplied with one or two eyepieces; you change the magnification by switching eyepieces with different focal lengths.
The Mount: A Telescope's Most Under-Appreciated Asset
Your telescope will need something sturdy to support it. Many telescopes come conveniently packaged with tripods or mounts, though the tubes of some smaller scopes often just have a mounting block that allows them to be attached to a standard photo tripod with a single screw. (Caution: A tripod that's good enough for taking your family snapshots may not be steady enough for astronomy.) Mounts designed specifically for telescopes usually forgo the single-screw attachment blocks in favor of larger, more robust rings or plates.On some mounts the scope swings left and right, up and down, just as it would on a photo tripod; these are known as altitude-azimuth (or simply alt-az) mounts. Many reflectors come on an elegantly simple wooden platform, known as a Dobsonian, that's a variation of the alt-az mount. A more involved mechanism, designed to track the motion of the stars by turning on a single axis, is termed an equatorial mount. These tend to be larger and heavier than alt-az designs; to use an equatorial mount properly you'll also need to align it to Polaris, the North Star.
Some telescopes come with small motors to move them around the sky with the push of a keypad button. In the more advanced models of this type, often called "Go To" telescopes, a small computer is built into the hand control. Once you've entered the current date, time, and your location (and many newer models don't even require you to do that), the scope can point itself to, and track, thousands of celestial objects. Some "Go To"s let you choose a guided tour of the best celestial showpieces, complete with a digital readout describing what's known about each object.
But Go To scopes aren't for everyone — the setup process may be confusing if you don't know how to find the bright alignment stars in the sky. And lower-priced Go To models come with smaller apertures than similarly priced, entry-level scopes that have no electronics.
Remember . . .
Any telescope can literally open your eyes to a universe of celestial delights. With a little care in selecting the right type of telescope for you, you'll be ready for a lifetime of exploring the night sky!

US lawmakers push for tougher NKorea sanctions
WASHINGTON (AP) — Likening North Korea to a mafia state for its illicit activities, Republican lawmakers Tuesday called for tough U.S. action to cut the authoritarian nation's access to hard currency that helps fund its missile and nuclear programs.
In addition to U.S.-supported moves afoot at the U.N. Security Council to tighten international sanctions in response to Pyongyang's latest nuclear test, there's also pressure in Congress for unilateral action by Washington.
That's driven by skepticism of the readiness of North's chief trading partner China to implement any U.N sanctions, and also by memory of the impact that the targeting of a bank based in the Chinese territory of Macau in 2005 had on Pyongyang's access to international banking.
On Tuesday, the Republican-led House foreign affairs panel examined how criminal activities support North Korea's government — part of chairman Ed Royce's push to introduce legislation for tougher financial sanctions.
"It is important to realize we have more options other than to simply rely on Beijing to 'do more,'" Royce, R-Calif., said.
Royce said illicit activities such as missile sales, meth trafficking and counterfeiting $100 bills are continuing in North Korea and underwrite its weapons programs. The North is also believed to counterfeit cigarettes and pharmaceutical products.
The panel's top Democrat, Rep. Eliot Engel, said the North's criminal conduct, including the sale of nuclear and ballistic missile technology to Iran and Syria, serves as a lifeline to keep itself in power. Although the New York lawmaker did not explicitly say he supported new unilateral sanctions, he voiced skepticism about China's intent to enforce the measures expected to be adopted by the Security Council this week.
"I hope that China will not do what it's done in the past and agree to sanctions and then just evade those sanctions so the sanctions never really take hold," Engel said.
China is considered key to implementation of international sanctions since it accounts for 70 percent to 80 percent of North Korea's trade, although Beijing's admonitions against Pyongyang for conducting its latest nuclear test three weeks ago were ignored by the North's young leader, Kim Jong Un.
That China is supporting the latest draft U.N. resolution shows Beijing's patience is wearing thin with its ally. But the Obama administration may be reluctant to rock the boat further with Beijing by adopting extra unilateral measures targeting China-based banks suspected of working with North Korea.
However, Kim's confrontational approach and concerns that North Korea's nuclear program potentially poses a direct threat to the U.S. are stirring calls in Congress for tougher action. There is deep skepticism that the North can be trusted to negotiate in good faith and accept aid in exchange for disarmament.
On Tuesday, Pyongyang's military threatened to cancel the 1953 Korean War cease-fire.
At the hearing, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., called for North Korea to again be declared a state sponsor of terror on the grounds that it has supplied the weapons programs of Iran and Syria. The designation was lifted by the George W. Bush administration in 2008.
Royce called for U.S. sanctions similar to those imposed in 2005 on Banco Delta Asia, a Macau-based bank which held about $25 million in North Korean funds. That caused a ripple effect among other banks worried about being shut out of the international financial system. But the measure proved complicated to undo when nuclear negotiations with North Korea finally got back on track.
David Asher, a former U.S. official involved in implementing those restrictions, told Tuesday's hearing that Beijing had reacted pragmatically to the 2005 restriction as it feared more banks would be so designated by the Treasury Department. He said such sanctions could be imposed again, but it would require the resolve of the Obama administration to act against Chinese institutions and trading companies.
Marcus Noland, an expert on North Korea's economy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics who didn't testify, said the North's illicit activities continue, although their overall importance for the North's economy has declined as its international trade, particularly with China, has grown sharply.
In a rough estimate, Noland said arms and illicit exports accounted for just under 10 percent of the merchandise the North traded in 2011, compared with more than 30 percent in 1999, when the economy was at a low point after years of famine. International interdiction efforts have also impeded the illicit trade, he said.
The North's improved financial standing could help explain its recent provocative behavior in conducting rocket and nuclear tests, he said, but added it is now very dependent on China, particularly for its energy supplies, and would be economically vulnerable if Beijing changed its policy.

So, I am home from Utah with a few more laugh lines and a bunch of great memories. The skiing was fantastic. I have never skied in Utah and now may have a new favorite spot; Alta Ski resort. It is absolutely beautiful with wide open slopes and NO snowboarders. Don't get me wrong, I think snowboarders are some of the coolest dudes out there. But it was just so nice not to have the roar of that board flying up from behind you.

Teachers know best what they and their students need on the XO.
If you are a teacher using the XO with your classes (or wishing you were), what kind of activities would help your students learn? If you are a retired teacher, what sort of programs would you have liked to be able to use with your students?
If you can come up with some very specific ideas, there is probably someone out there who can write the code for a down-loadable activity to add to your XO!
Let's make a wish list....
I'll start with...Basic Algebra practice activities available in many languages.

Looking forward: The way we pay
The Task Force for the Payments System Review will provide recommendations to help guide the evolution of the payments system in Canada by the end of 2011.
Payments evolve. From iron bars in ancient Rome to paper money originating in China a thousand years ago, the way we pay has always reflected economic and technological change.
Today, payments include cash, cheques, credit and debit cards, electronic funds transfers, reward points, gift cards, and virtual currencies used online. No matter what shape they take, payments are simply how we buy and sell things.
Every year, Canadians make 24 billion payments worth more than 44 trillion dollars. These payments allow people to run households, make it possible for businesses to operate, and let governments fund essential programs.
While the Canadian payments system is reliable and secure, the payments business is undergoing a dramatic shift. Just as the industrial revolution brought about massive change in production and manufacturing, the information revolution will change our payments system.
A digital economy is emerging, and Canada's payments system must keep pace. Innovative players challenge the existing payments infrastructure. Smart phones bring the promise of instant digital transactions to our fingertips. However, Canadian consumers and businesses continue to rely on paper-based payment and invoicing systems not intended for the digital age.
The Task Force has recently posted the discussion paper, The Way We Pay: Transforming the Canadian Payments System, which elaborates on the goal of becoming a world leader in payments by 2020, and carves out the elements of a proposed Governance Framework.
We invite you to participate in this dialogue. Responses to and comments on the paper will be posted online from now to September 2011.
The Conversation Hub is also a great place to learn. Check out our video crash-course on the future of payments, facts and questions we want you to think about, and follow us at @cdnpaymentsys on Twitter or on Facebook.
Your feedback will be essential in transforming ideas into actionable recommendations. By working together we can develop a shared understanding of the issues, find common ground, and define a clear way forward.

ESCALON - Authorities found a woman's body near the banks of the Stanislaus River early Tuesday in Escalon, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
ESCALON - Authorities found a woman's body near the banks of the Stanislaus River early Tuesday in Escalon, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
California Highway Patrol officers discovered the body about 3:40 a.m. after responding to a report of a possible car accident in the 25800 block of East River Road, authorities said.
Officers found an abandoned vehicle on the roadway. The woman's body, which showed signs of "severe trauma," was found on an embankment about 60 feet from the vehicle, authorities said.
Sheriff's detectives were called to investigate. They have ruled the woman's death a homicide, authorities said. The woman's identity is being withheld pending notification of family, deputies said. A determination of the cause of death is pending autopsy and toxicology results, officials said.
It is not yet known when the woman died. Her death marks either the Sheriff's Office's 12th homicide investigation of 2012 or its first of 2013.
STOCKTON - Police arrested a parolee at large and another man in a stolen car following a five-minute pursuit in downtown Stockton early Wednesday, officers reported.
Officers attempted to make a traffic stop near North California and Channel streets shortly after 1:30 a.m. The driver refused to yield and led police on a two-mile chase that ended when he stopped and fled on foot near East Miner Avenue and North Pilgrim Street, authorities said.
Police said the driver, 37-year-old Vicheth Sek, was apprehended after a short foot pursuit. He was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft, possession of stolen property, parole violation and traffic violations. The other man, 26-year-old Luis Medina, was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and possession of stolen property.
STOCKTON - A multiagency operation to crack down on drunken driving during the holiday season resulted in nearly 150 arrests in San Joaquin County, authorities said.
From 12:01 a.m. Dec. 14 to midnight Tuesday, representatives from 10 local law enforcement agencies made 150 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, officials said. There were 130 arrests during the same period in 2011, authorities said.
The operation included DUI checkpoints and involved law enforcement officials from Stockton, Lodi, Tracy and Manteca. It was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ovechkin posts 12th career hat trick in leading Capitals to 4-3 victory over Panthers.
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
SUNRISE, Fla. – Alex Ovechkin recorded his 12th career hat trick and added an assist, and the surging Washington Capitals survived a late rally by the Florida Panthers for a 4-3 victory on Saturday night.
Ovechkin scored twice from in close on the power play, and weaved through traffic for his other goal, as the Capitals (19-17-2) improved to 8-2-1 in their last 11 games in completing a four-game season sweep of the Panthers.
The Capitals, who scored at least five goals against Florida in their previous three games, struck quickly with a pair of goals from Mike Ribeiro and Ovechkin within 1:41 early in the second period.
Braden Holtby made 27 saves in posting his fifth career victory over the Panthers (12-20-6) without a loss.
The Panthers, who were seeking their fourth straight victory, rallied in the third period behind two goals from Tomas Kopecky and another by Peter Mueller.
Ovechkin, who has 23 goals this season, started his night by beating Jacob Markstrom from the stick side following a 5-minute boarding penalty to Panthers' defenseman Erik Gudbranson in the first period. Ovechkin tipped in a cross-ice pass from Ribeiro just over a minute following the major.
Gudbranson's penalty, which included a game misconduct, followed a hit from behind to right-winger Martin Erat at the 14:37 mark of the first period.
Erat, who came over from Nashville and made his debut with the Capitals on April 4, was down for several minutes and had to be helped off the ice with a lower body injury. He did not return and will be re-evaluated.
The league's top power-play producers struck again with the man advantage just 43 seconds into the second period when Ribeiro was able to tuck in a loose puck after Markstrom made the initial save off a blistering slap shot by Mike Green from the high slot.
Washington made it 3-0 when Ovechkin maintained possession of the puck despite two poke-away attempts by Panthers' defenseman Filip Kuba and connected on a wrist shot past Markstrom.
Overckin then took a perfect feed from Marcus Johansson and sent his patented quick wrist shot past Markstrom for Washington's third power-play goal in five attempts.
Markstrom surrendered four goals on the Capitals' first 22 shots.
Niklas Backstrom added three assists for the Capitals. He leads the team in assists with 33.

Irina Shabayeva is the new winner of Project Runway 6. The New Yorker designer won over all the judges with her mostly all black design collection, winning $100,000 towards her line, an agent and a trip to Paris.
The judges Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Susie Menkes chose Irina over Carol Hannah Whitfield, who came in third, and Althea Harper, the runner-up. All three women all showed their strong collections back at February's fashion week in Bryant Park.
Irina's collection was inspired by New York, right down to the detailed T-shirts worn beneath knitwear armor. "My collection is really about New York," Irina said before her portion of the runway show. Congrats to Irina on winning the 6th season of the show.

Green Alpha Capital
I am a strategically minded and commercially focused finance director with significant corporate finance experience. I offer SMEs first rate strategic and financial advice without the need to make an ongoing overhead commitment to a first rate salary. I am available on a flexible basis for anything from 2 days per month to 2 days per week, or on a project basis, to help small to medium sized companies with strong growth potential. Companies I work with typically have sales of between £1m and £20m where achieving growth requires a strengthening of the management structure, improved management processes, financial reporting and financial systems. The companies I work with often need access to third party finance but lack experience and expertise in fundraising and corporate finance. Whilst scale up companies need this strategic financial advice and mentoring they are normally short on cash and unable to afford a first rate finance director until they have achieved the growth they are targeting. I can fill this gap for them during this critical growth period, so increasing their chances of success.

Brazil's real touched a nine-month high as Finance Minister Guido Mantega signaled that the government will allow the currency to appreciate another 5% before the central bank intervened to stem gains.
The currency slid 0.3% to 1.9717 per dollar at 12:49 p.m. in Sao Paulo after rallying 0.8% to 1.9511, the strongest intraday level since May 11. It has gained 1% this week, the most among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg, on speculation policy makers will let the currency strengthen to contain inflation. Swap rates due in January 2015 climbed five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 8.24% today.
The government will curb the currency if it reaches 1.85 per dollar, Mantega said in an interview with Reuters. The real erased its advance after the central bank intervened by offering reverse currency swaps for the first time since October.
"Mantega mentioned 1.85 as a potential new ceiling but interventions today signal that appreciation will be managed gradually in line with rising inflationary concerns," Bernd Berg, an emerging-markets strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, said by instant electronic message.
The currency rose yesterday after a central bank board member said in a phone interview with Bloomberg News that inflation is high, spurring speculation that policy makers will let the currency strengthen to contain consumer prices.
The government may increase taxes on foreign inflows or buy dollars to block speculation, Mantega said in the interview with Reuters. Exchange-rate policy hasn't changed, and Brazil won't allow speculative appreciation of the real, the Finance Ministry said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg News. The central bank auctioned $502 million of reverse currency swaps, selling 10,000 of 37,000 offered.
'New Ceiling'
"Mantega gave a new ceiling for the market to test," Reginaldo Galhardo, a currency trader at Treviso Corretora de Cambio in Sao Paulo, said in a phone interview. The level of "1.85 per dollar has become the new uncrossable limit, with the ceiling for central bank tolerance changing once again."
The real rallied to a level stronger than 2 per U.S. dollar on Jan. 28 for the first time since July after the central bank renewed $1.85 billion of currency swaps about to expire, refraining from buying dollars to settle the contracts. On Jan. 31, the government exempted foreigners from a tax on real-estate funds traded on the stock exchange, spurring speculation that
Policy makers swung in 2012 between selling currency swaps to prevent the real from falling too quickly and offering reverse currency swaps to protect exporters by keeping the real from strengthening beyond 2 per dollar.
