Potato-Crusted Bass
This is a dish meant to impress. The fish cooks up moist covered with the potato scales. Golden brown and served with a wine sauce, it is delicious as well as dazzling.
2 large potatoes, peeled
6 striped bass or grouper fillets (about 21⁄2 lb.)
Flour or potato starch
Egg wash
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 cup white wine
1 shallot, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Minced parsley
Steamed kale
Lemon wedges
- Thinly slice potatoes and trim into uniform pieces to look like fish scales. Air dry potato slices in convection oven at 150°-200°F for 10 min., rotating pan and stirring.
- Coat fish fillets lightly with flour or starch; brush with egg wash. Press potato slices onto one side of each fish fillet, arranging them like scales.
- Heat oil in large sauté pan. Add fish, potato-side down; sauté until lightly browned. Flip fish and place pan in 450°F oven; cook 3-5 min. longer.

An early-morning fire damaged an abandoned three-story home on Somerset Place
The state fire marshal's office is looking into an early-morning fire that damaged an abandoned three-story home on Somerset Place.
Firefighters battled a three-alarm blaze at 16 Somerset Place that started at about 4 a.m. on Monday morning.
Brockton Fire officials asked the state fire marshal's office to investigate the fire, according to fire marshal spokeswoman Jennifer Mieth.
"It doesn't necessarily mean that it's intentionally set," Mieth said. "They do not have a cause determination yet."
The Brockton Fire Department could not be reached for comment on Monday.
The state fire marshal's office has been looking into a string of Southeastern Massachusetts fires over the last few months. Mieth said that the office has not published or confirmed the list of those fires.
"There are a number of fires that we're looking into that are possibly connected," Mieth said.
The three-story home, built in 1889, was foreclosed on in Feb. 2011, according to records from the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds. The 3,500-square-foot house has six bedrooms.

My father served with the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He saw action on D-Day and later fought in the Netherlands (Operation Market Garden) and Belgium (Battle of the Bulge).
My father served with the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He saw action on D-Day and later fought in the Netherlands (Operation Market Garden) and Belgium (Battle of the Bulge).
He followed more than 16 million American men who went to war to fight evil, knowing that their cause was just. Women and older men ran the factories during the war while enduring tremendous challenges to keep their homes a haven in a world of turmoil — these were the men and women who made up of what Tom Brokaw called "The Greatest Generation." After the war, men returned to joyful parades and a thankful world.
But do we remember them today? More than 8,000 American soldiers are laid to rest in graves near Maastricht, Netherlands; each grave is maintained by Dutch families and the sacrifices of those soldiers are remembered with memorial services each year on Liberation Day (May 5).
At the end of the day, there is a concert to express their appreciation to the Americans who liberated the Netherlands. "Il Silenzio" (The Silence) is the last piece that is played and it is a trumpet solo adapted from the familiar "Taps." A young Dutch girl played this beautiful tribute with heartfelt thankfulness; the packed concert hall gave her a standing ovation — it is worth your time (http://www.flixxy.com/trumpet-solo-melissa-venema.htm).
Do we remember them today in the United States? Congress recently voted to eliminate benefits to some of our veterans.
During the government shutdown last year, monuments in Washington, D.C., were closed and veterans were turned away from their own tributes.
Memorial Day in the United States is rapidly becoming a three-day weekend for barbeques while attendance at memorial services or parades decline each year. Please take the time to thank a veteran for his or her service. Remember Memorial Day is May 26; keep it on your calendar to honor our vets at the parade and memorial services. We can do better.

Rachel's "Eclectic Mediterranean" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Rachel
- Location:
- Oakland, CA
- Division:
- Warm
- Inspiration for my palette:
- Our 1920s California bungalow has Mediterranean architectural features like wood beams, rough plaster walls, arched doorways, and wrought iron fixtures. This style definitely set the tone for our color palette, using warm, autumnal colors to reinforce that Mediterranean feel. There's a carved wooden sun sculpture hanging above our fireplace (it came with the house), and it's like our house mascot. I started with yellow ochre walls, and then built up from there.
- Colors used in my room:
- Gold, red, violet
- Tips for using color successfully:
- Your personal spaces should reflect your personality: follow your gut by selecting colors you love. After a while, you'll find that you naturally gravitate towards a particular family of colors, and the elements will start to come together. Another tip: contrary to most people's fear about dark colors making a room smaller, I often find that a deeper, richer color can really make a room feel more finished and cohesive.

Scott Hamilton to headline CNI benefit dinner
It's not all that often that a charity benefit's headliner shows up for the kickoff party. The patron party, maybe; or, a photo op/meet-and-greet held immediately before or after the main event.
Figure skater Scott Hamilton happened to be in Denver on Aug. 5, the date Colorado Neurological Institute was having a cocktail reception to better acquaint committee members and sponsors with the Sept. 24 dinner at which the Olympic gold medalist would be speaking. So he offered to swing by for a minute to meet such principals as benefit chair Quinn Washington; CNI executive director Tami Lack; auctioneer Shelly St. John; Dr. Edward Arenson, medical director of CNI's Center for Brain and Spinal Tumors; Debra Bandstra, who will emcee the gala; and presenting sponsor Dean Mills of the Denver Group at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
Pictures from the kickoff party
The cocktail gathering was chaired by Sarah Tomicich, corporate controller for AlloSource, and held at BNY Mellon Wealth Management in Cherry Creek North. BNY Mellon Wealth Management's regional president Jon Stuck is treasurer of the CNI board and was on hand to greet the distinguished guests.
Hamilton is no stranger to Colorado. He lived here for 23 years and it's where he trained for the Olympics. "I miss Colorado a great deal," he said, adding that he's anticipating a "spectacular evening" when he returns for the gala. "Fundraisers like this don't just raise money, they raise awareness. CNI is a wonderful resource; you are very lucky to have it here in your own back yard."
Since his time as an Olympian, Hamilton has gone on to act, serve as a network TV commentator, deliver motivational talks, write, and survive both cancer and a brain tumor. "Lately," he joked, "I've become better known for my odd hobby of collecting life-threatening illnesses."
The gala will be at the Marriott City Center and in addition to Hamilton's talk will include presentation of the Dawn Denzer Community Leader Award to Linda and Dr. Richard Kelley. He is a past chair of the CNI board.
Quinn Washington, also a member of the CNI board and a vice president at Blacktie-Colorado, said he is chairing the gala as a tribute to the memory of close family friend Joe Franzgrote. The former 9News president was treated there for the progressive supranuclear palsy that eventually took his life.
Washington said he is drawing heavily from his network of young professional friends to help make the event a success. The group includes Garret Hommel, who does business development for Footers Catering; Nicole Gampp; Auna Jornayvaz; Jimmy Melton; Liz Ryan; and Leigh Vadas.

Today is Size Doesn't Matter Day, organized by Jamie Cheng from Klei, when game developers talk about how the length of a game is or isn't important relative to its other merits. I've included links to several other blogs at the end of this post. Anthony Flack has also posted his thoughts.
We're all talking about game length, something uppermost in my mind as we plan how long to make Cow Patrol on iPhone/iPad. I say how long, perhaps I really mean how deep – how much replay value we plan to have.
One of the most comment complaints from game journalists is that games are too short. As has become obvious within the many reviews of indie hit Limbo, a high quality game will still be pulled up and criticised over game length.
One of the most common questions publishers ask when pitched a game is, "how long is it?" On the assumption that they aren't just being over-friendly, what they really want to know is how long it will take to play through the game; they want to know how much bang they get for their buck.
But how long is a game and how long should it be?
Let's take an indie title like Castle Crashers. It took me an evening to play the game from start to finish. Although I loved it, I've not played it much since. Many others have been playing it through repeatedly, however, in order to unlock all the items and ramp up their characters. The game was much shorter for me than many other players.
How about Portal? At its heart, this is a simple puzzle game which took perhaps an afternoon to complete. However, I enjoyed playing Portal much more than many other games, even games which I may have played for much longer. I played World of Warcraft for far more hours than I care to remember but it's not a better game than Portal because of its seemingly never-ending play-time. It's a completely different game and needs to be judged accordingly. As a matter of fact, I played Portal through twice, the second time with my dad trying to solve the puzzles (there is no way he could handle FPS controls but he enjoyed the game otherwise). That said, Portal doesn't have the replay value of Castle Crashers.
Castle Crashers, Portal and World of Warcraft – three games of different genres with wildly different playing times. More than that, they are going to be played in different ways by different gamers, with no one way being the right way. I'd put Limbo firmly in the Portal category by the way – most players will only ever play it once, and not even all the way through if they get stuck.
So, we don't even have a simple way to measure the longevity of a game because it's not easily defined. Not a good start!
How long should a game be? It seems to me that it depends who you ask.
Journalists seem to want their games long. Perhaps this is because they've been spoiled by those big AAA games of the past. Times have changed and I think journalists need to move with them.
Teenagers and students, who seem to comprise the vocal minority on gaming forums, gripe about game length – more so with full price titles than indie games. Perhaps this is because they don't have the constraints on their time that take hold as the years go by – family and work for example. I certainly don't have time for most games any more. Smaller games fit better in my life these days.
Publishers want long games with substantial content. I think this is because they are afraid of criticism from journalists and the vocal minority. It's a terrible flaw within the industry that game length is prioritised over quality but that really does seem to be the general way of things.
Game developers want shorter games, generally speaking. This is because making bigger games costs money. Making games is a phenomenally risky business to be in, so making a game containing days of content for players to trawl through is simply not sensible. However, a trend within iPhone, iPad and Social Network games seems to be to launch small and then build the game up if people take to it. I'm a big fan of this approach but it's rather scary and, to be truthful, it's proving tough to get my head around.
And the majority of players? I think they just want a great game. Sure, game length will come into it, but if the gaming itself is of very high quality then I don't think the game needs to last 10 hours for the average player. Portal and Limbo can be completed within 2-3 hours for a cost of perhaps £5-10. It costs £30 upwards to watch a football match (often poor quality as they can't be 'pre-reviewed' unlike games) and £7 for a cinema ticket to see a 90 minute film (plus the excessively priced snacks of course).
I could write much more on the comparative costs of other entertainment but this is covered in some of the other blogs below and far more eloquently than I could put it.
So does size matter?
Yes I think it does, but it's also just one of many factors that go into the melting pot that is a game. I must admit that I would like to see journalists not be critical of shorter games when they are at a lower price point, particularly when they are from independent developers. I think the typical indie game audience is perfectly happy with a short but polished experience, and perhaps this is more true of the wider audience then we all realise. Let's not allow the vocal minority to speak for the majority.
To sign off, I shall just point you to a game of perfect length right here, and please read some of the other thoughtful posts on the subject below:

the same exposure was used at both ISO settings.In order to avoid such confusion, I think it is better to consider exposure as something which is determined only by F/stop, shutter speedThe ISO setting is merely an instruction to the camera's internal processing electronics to process an exposure in a particular way.
Well said Ray. 'Processing' in the sense of amplifying the signal rolling off the sensor before writing it to the Raw data (making it 'brighter'). Amplification can be done analogically and/or digitally. If done digitally, there is no difference whether the signal is increased in-camera (through a higher ISO) or later in the Raw converter (through a +'EV' correction) - so might as well keep the lower ISO and the extra Dynamic Range and correct brightenss later in the raw converter. For instance the D800e applies only digital amplification from about 1600 ISO on up as can be seen in these Raw histograms:
The ISO 800 Raw histogram of the green channel is fully populated, the ISO 1600 is showing a small amount of digital amplification, the 3200 and 6400 are simply the ISO 1600ish ADC integer output multiplied digitally by 2 and 4 - with every second and every fourth value present respectively.
That's digital amplification. What about the analog component, that is when increasing ISO will amplify analogically the signal rolling off the sensor before feeding it to the ADC (think of it as turning up the volume on your stereo)? Some cameras' shadow SNR, in particular those whose ADC's noise floor is higher than the sensor's (e.g. Canons), will benefit from boosting the signal from the sensor before it is fed to the ADC, so in their case it may be worth compromising DR in exchange for better shadow SNR.
This suggests the following strategy, as mentioned by emil and others: First max out Exposure at base ISO by choosing the longest shutter speed and widest aperture allowed by your technical/artistic constraints, thereby gathering the largest number of photons possible for a given blur, DOF and highlight retention objective. Then you may choose to raise ISO as a compromise between minimizing shadow SNR and maximizing DR. Bill Claff has worked out where increasing ISO no longer helps shadow SNR for various cameras. No point increasing ISO beyond 1600 for the D800e (really ISO 400 if one is willing to live with a 1/6 of a stop penalty in shadow SNR for the extra two stops of DR), although if you own a 5DIII you may not want to stop before ISO 2500 or higher - if needed. If the above strategy for the D800e results in a darker image OOC than usual, no sweat: simply correct for pleasing brightness/tones in the raw converter, confident that you have the best IQ possible.
Amplification can be done analogically and/or digitally.
Do you know if that graph has been formulated for cameras other than the D800?
or there might be no amplification at all - just a tag (as a hint/instruction for a raw converter) in raw file.
In order to avoid such confusion, I think it is better to consider exposure as something which is determined only by F/stop, shutter speed, and that quality we often ignore, T/stop, which relates to the transmissive qualities of the glass in the lens.The ISO setting is merely an instruction to the camera's internal processing electronics to process an exposure in a particular way.
+1To avoid arguments that are more about language than photographic technique, let us agree to use words like "exposure" in standard agreed way (like "the amount of light reaching the sensor") and move on the the practical issues.Unfortunately "ETTR" has acquired two different and widely used meanings, so we should distinguish betweena) maximizing the exposure received by the sensor (stopping just short of blowing highlights by overfilling any photosites).b) maximizing the output levels of the ADC, by some combination of exposure to the sensor and analog amplification of the sensor output before anaog-to-digital conversion.
The Raw converter needs to be well behaved for extreme (>3 stops?) recoveries to work as expected (RT apparently is while LR apparently is not).
What makes LR poorly "behaved"?
+1To avoid arguments that are more about language than photographic technique, let us agree to use words like "exposure" in standard agreed way (like "the amount of light reaching the sensor") and move on the the practical issues
to get the low-down for the 5D mark III sensor to be able to really leverage its characteristics when shooting.
Jack, What is happening "north" of 12800 on the 5D3? (or did you answer that as "suspicious")
Also, when you speak of 2500ISO, it is really 3200 as long as you understand Canon's "game" of +/-EC, right?
PS the 5DIII appears to have an effective QE of about 14% and PRNU of about 0.4%, plus a fairly noisy analog amplifier contributing about 8 ADU random noise throughout the range, so the last three bits never contain much information.
Q: How does one reconcile the Unity Gain ISO figures with the Photographic Dynamic Range Shadow Improvement?

Six NH Air National Guardsmen off to Kuwait for 6 monthsBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 24. 2014 9:37PM
MANCHESTER — Six New Hampshire Air National Guardsmen left New Hampshire Monday for a six-month deployment in Kuwait, where they will be using their fire-fighting skills.
The six are members of the 157th Civil Engineering Squadron stationed at Pease Air National Guard Base in Newington. New Hampshire National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Greg Heilshorn said they are the last of 13 guardsmen deployed to Kuwait for six-month stints.
All are members of the fire service that serves Pease Air National Guard Base. Some also work as firefighters in area communities. One works for the postal service.
"They are going to be doing their job in a military capacity in other locations," said William Hardekopf, fire chief at the New Hampshire Air National Guard Base.
"They are all volunteering. This is them volunteering to do their service," he added.
The six departed Manchester-Boston Regional Airport for Norfolk, Va., and are due to arrive in Kuwait by Wednesday, squadron commander Lt. Col. Eugene R. Mossoni said.
For Devin Martin, 19, of Merrimack, the Kuwaiti deployment is part of a lifelong dream of becoming a professional firefighter.
"He has been wanting to do it since he was eight years old. He has always been into fire-fighting or rescues or helping people who have been very ill in different places," Martin's father, Herb, said.
Devin Martin was a member of the Manchester Fire Department's Firefighters Explorers when he was in high school.
When he returns from Kuwait, he plans to take a fire-fighting test with larger city fire departments such as Manchester, Concord or Boston, Mass., or with the Air National Guard's fire force, his father said.

With eight returning varsity players and seven seniors on the roster this season, Hood River Valley High School boys soccer is looking to repeat as Columbia River Conference champions and improve upon last year's second-round state playoff elimination.
The team, led by third-year varsity head coach Jaime Rivera, is training hard for the start of the season, and especially for its home opener Tuesday against Rex Putnam, which knocked the Eagles out of last year's state tournament in a double-overtime match that ended in a shootout.
"We have high expectations for this year's squad, and that's how we're moving forward," Rivera said this week. Last season the team shared the district title with Hermiston; an achievement Rivera says he doesn't intend on splitting again this year. "We definitely want the title all to ourselves and are aiming to go deeper into the state tournament this year. We're setting high benchmarks and are going to work hard to accomplish them."
Rivera said 70 kids were on the pitch two weeks ago for tryouts, which is the highest number he's seen in eight years of working with the team. Along with a solid group of seniors to provide leadership, the team will look to young talent to step-up to the varsity level and secure the future of the program.
"We're fortunate to have had so many players to choose from this year," Rivera said. "We've got some hot talent. Obviously senior leadership is going to be very important, but we've also got some good younger guys to add to the equation." Rivera pointed to Giovanni Magana, the only freshman to make the varsity squad, as one such example. "He's a very high-level player; probably one of the top 30 in the nation for his age."
Another interesting addition to the team is senior Camile Buursma, a Dutch exchange student who has a solid background with European club soccer. Senior goalkeeper Alonzo Mendiola returns to anchor the defensive line after earning CRC's Goalkeeper of the Year honors last season. Other seniors are Oscar Bacerra (defender), Jose Muro (defender) Ceasar Romero (midfielder), Sean Lund (midfielder) and Jerry Murillo (midfielder).
About this year's strategy, Rivera said, "Our focus is going to be a more fast-paced attack up front. It's a shift from the possession-based approach we've had in recent years, but it's a necessary step.
"What I've learned in the last few years is that high school soccer is very different from club soccer. Players are generally not as finely tuned as club teams. We need to take that into consideration, see where there is the most room for improvement and take steps to do it. For us that translates to finding ways to score more goals."
The team's schedule opens with Rex Putnam (Sept. 4, 6 p.m. at HRVHS) and is followed by road games at Sandy, Lincoln and David Douglas before returning home Sept. 25 against Wilsonville. League play starts Oct. 2 with a home match against Pendleton.

Last pic..at first I thought oh lala she used a lot of that blue gummy stuff:)
Till I clicked..listened and smiled.
Hope the ironwork we see is part of your view..
Like that too.
Being a northern mid-west girl I have never heard of your greengages or Claudes. I will have to look for them in the upscale shops, me thinks. Did you try a little naples yellow with a little green? It might work.ReplyDelete
Chez vous? HAHAHAHA! Love your washy painted plums, but only you could have a hand that automatically draws life-size! I am a huge fan of roasted plum tart.ReplyDelete

I love your stuff! Can you please tell me what kind of paper you are using when you trace your pic on your iPad? There is no way I can see thru my watercolor paper … then I was thinking maybe I should try newsprint … Finally decided e-mailing you was the best idea! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Simply tracing paper Pam, preferably the cheap stuff.Delete
I love the different summer fruits.Your colour wash of the plums entice me to gather all your how to paint lessons together.Then get my palette out of the cupboard as I'm back home next week, well almost. Lodging in our 'Petite Maison' for 2weeks & I always feel like I'm on holiday when we're there. So it's time to paint.ReplyDelete

Oh Carol, greengage plums are amongst my favorites. I have been asking the farmers at the Union Sq GREENmarket (geddit?) when they will have greengages on display with the other plums. They keep saying "next week." I'll be checking again on Friday.ReplyDelete
Your painting is lovely. How much fun to try to find that elusive green. How great to be able to pick you own fresh greengages!
Are those postit notes on your wall? I thought I was the only one who did that!ReplyDelete
I especially like today's lesson and subject. They're really so pretty -- and that color gets me every single time! What part of the city are you living in now? I hope you will love it!

Oh your colors are so luscious. We picked pears today and the colors are about the same. Love that color. I am sooooo glad you said that about the hand and eye wanting to draw what it sees.

I'm on a cul-de-sac here so only parked cars and tons of fresh air wafting over from the Butte Chamont park
I've never tried these- in any country or language- it would be intriguing although I'm not all that fond of plums I guess. Is it true that greens are the hardest colours to do?ReplyDeleteReplies

Because blue + yellow doesn't always work

Blogs and Blogging...
I don't think many of my readers use Bloglines or Google Reader but they are great tools if you follow quite a few blogs. Another is My Yahoo and there are many more readers. You just create an account and enter the addresses of the blogs you read, and the blog reader will find the RSS feeds for them.
When you go to your Bloglines or Google Reader account, the reader will bring in all the new posts from each of your blogs so you can check them there without all that clicking back and forth from a blogroll. Or there are links to the actual blog in your blog reader so you can easily read more or leave a comment if you want.
I have tried Bloglines and Google Reader. Both are free, but in my opinion, Bloglines works much better than Google Reader on dial-up. Google Reader is just too slow. I think Yahoo has a free reader also, but I've never tried it. There are surely many others as well.
A blog, news site, etc. that has a feed will probably display one of the symbols below (or perhaps just the words, "Site Feed" or "RSS Feed") with a link that leads to its feed so you can visit it and subscribe with your blog reader.
You can import other people's lists of blogs into your account. In Bloglines, when you read a blog, it tells you how many other people are subscribed to it. When you click on the subscriptions link, you get a list of all the people who are publicly subscribed, and you can look at their account and see what other blogs they are reading. If you think you might like some of them, you can download ("export") their list of blogs in a special file (.opml) and then upload them to your own account.
I downloaded a couple of lists yesterday from other readers of a blog I like and uploaded them to my Bloglines account. Then I didn't like the folders the other people were using, so I deleted everything I had uploaded and worked on the .opml files a little to make the folders smaller and rename them. (It wasn't hard if you've ever messed around with HTML and know what starting and ending tags do.) It was much easier to do it on my computer offline with a little copying and pasting than to enter each blog subscription online and change its folder. Then I uploaded them again. It worked fine.
Quite a few of my readers here are bloggers, and I read their blogs too. But sometimes, their blogging doesn't keep up with my desire to read something! On those occasions, I have been clicking the "Next Blog" button (on the Blogger toolbar at the top of the page) and wandering off into Blogger-land, which is a vast wasteland of drivel and tripe (yuck!)
I think I have a better alternative. I am going to look through those folders of blogs that other people are reading, as I have time. I'll unsubscribe from any blogs I don't like and I'll keep the good ones. This will have to be a ruthless process, as I am subscribed to about 400 blog feeds at present and I don't want to keep that many! I am hoping to pick up just a few really interesting blogs out of them. I think my chances of doing so are much better with this method than with the "Next Blog" button.
By the way, if you want to see what I'm subscribed to currently, you can do so at my Bloglines account:

Anxiety and mood disorders in later life are the focus of an increasing amount of intervention research, however basic mechanisms and paradigms explaining etiology and maintenance warrant further exploration. Research on future-oriented thought patterns associated with anxiety and depression in this age group may prove useful, as these disorders are both characterized by a tendency to generate and fixate on threat-related future scenarios that may or may not materialize. Additionally, depression is associated with a reduced expectancy of positive future events. In this paper, we review the literature relevant to future thinking in anxiety and depression in older adults. We focus on the mental construction and anticipation of negative future events, and their underlying neurocognitive mechanisms. We then consider clinical and research implications of anxious and depressive future-oriented thought patterns for older adults. We believe that more research investigating future-oriented thought patterns associated with emotional disorders in later life could improve conceptualization, measurement, and perhaps potential treatments for late-life anxiety and depression.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A police spokesman says Israeli aircraft have hit more than 70 targets in the Gaza Strip, including the home of the late leader of Hamas' military wing, five mosques and a football stadium.
Ayman Batniji says tank shells damaged several houses along the eastern border of the territory early Tuesday and that at least 19 fishing boats were burned by navy shells fired from the Mediterranean.
The Israeli military says two soldiers were killed, bringing the number of troops killed in two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting to 27. A Palestinian official says more than 570 Palestinians have been killed since then.
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met in Cairo in a new attempt to broker a cease-fire. Prospects are slim because wide gaps remain.

Premiering tonight:
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (8 p.m., ABC; Sept. 24): In this spinoff of "The Avengers" movie franchise, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) assembles a team of top-secret agents (including Ming-Na Wen) who investigate threats to humanity. Bottom line: We expected more of a "wow" factor from the Joss Whedon-directed pilot, but there's enough wit, flash and promise to lure us back.
"The Goldbergs" (9 p.m., ABC; Sept. 24): Mix "Malcolm in the Middle" with VH1's "I Love the '80s," and you've got a loud, raucous and warmhearted comedy about a family (headed by Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey) just trying to get by in the era of "Pac Man" and "Star Wars." Bottom line: It had us almost warming up to REO Speedwagon. Almost.
"Trophy Wife" (9:30 p.m., ABC; Sept. 24): A reformed party girl (Malin Akerman) marries an older man (Bradley Whitford), becoming his third spouse and a stepmom to three kids in a modern kind of family. Bottom line: With her infectious energy, Akerman is so funny and charming that we bet viewers will be wedded to this show.
"Lucky 7" (10 p.m., ABC; Sept. 24): The lives of seven very different gas station employees are forever changed — and maybe not all for the better — when they strike it rich in the lottery. Bottom line: The snappy pilot had its charms, but we foresee lots of trite, money-can't-buy-you-happiness moralizing ahead.
Returning tonight
"NCIS" (8 p.m., CBS)
"NCIS: Los Angeles" (9 p.m., CBS)
"Chicago Fire" (10 p.m., NBC)

The need for quality facilities for the growth of business in Bucharest has resulted in the development of a major business park on the northern outskirts of the City.
IRIDE Business Park was acquired in March 2000 and to date a number of major multinational and national companies have their facilities in the Park. At the present time 8,800sqm of offices together with 13,000sqm of light industrial facilities are developed and occupied. A further 22,600sqm of offices and 2,500sqm of industrial facilities are under construction to be delivered to pre-let tenants during 2003. All of the facilities are to international standards comparable with similar parks in Western Europe.
The business park is located on a prime site, and benefits from its close proximity to the city center and the capital's international airport. A further advantage is formed by optimal connections to the public transportation system.
The list of current tenants on the Park indicates the strong demand for the premises and location. The following are already in occupation or have committed for buildings under construction: Xerox, Equant, Raiffeisen Bank, Moeller Electric, S&D Chemicals, Nestle, Whirlpool, Otto Publications, JTI, Alcon Pharmaceuticals, Wella, YKK, Advantage Software, Medicare, Chio, Labelon, Catering Partners, RX Atelier, Holsag.
Overview and HistoryBucharest, Romania was first mentioned in written history around 1459 AD. Since then it has gradually grown in influence, becoming the capital of Romania in 1862 and even earning the title "Paris of the East" for its cultural magnetism.The city has a population of about two million people and makes up one of the main industrial centers of eastern europe.The origin of the name Bucharest comes from the legendary outlaw and prince Bucur. Linguistic roots from Albanian and Thracian languages connect that name to words like "beautiful", "glad" and "joyous."Bucharest was home to Wallachian Prince Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century. The city was burned down by the Ottomans in the early 17th century, rebuilt, and ravaged by the Plague over the next two hundred years. Battles between the Ottoman empire and the Austrian Hapsburgs saw Bucharest occupied by Austria and also Russia in the eighteenth century.In 1861 Wallachia and Moldova were united to form the Principality of Romania with Bucharest as its capital. This new region was occupied by Germany during World War One and saw heavy Allied bombing in World War Two. In the middle of the war, Romania joined the Russian side against Germany, and was bombed again, ths time by the Luftwaffe.Following the wars, Romania was under Communist leadership by Nicolae Ceausescu. His tenure came with the construction of many large Soviet-style buildings which took over the historic districts of the city. He was overthrown in the 1989 revolution.The 1991 Constitution established Romania as a republic with a multi-party system, market economy and individual rights of free speech, religion and private ownership.Romania joined NATO in 2004 and the European Union in 2007.Getting ThereYou'll be flying into Henry Coanda International Bucharest Airport, the biggest airport in Romania. Henry Coanda built the world's first jet powered aircraft, did you know that?The airport is 16km north of the city and connects by bus, taxi and a shuttle bus to the Gara de Nord, Bucharest's main train station.TransportationBucharest has an extensive public transportation system, one of the largest in Europe. There's a Metro along with buses, minibuses, trams, trolleybuses and light rail. They have limited the number of taxi licenses to ten thousand to keep down the traffic problems.The main train station is called the Gare de Nord and it connects to all the cities in Romania as well as Belgrade, Budapest, Vinena, Prague and Moscow. The commuter rail line is currently being extended to unite it with surrounding counties.People and CultureThe currency is the Romanian Leu (RON) which exchanges at about 4.3 RON to the Euro at the time of this writing.The first known art in Romania dates to 10,000 BC as cave paintings in northwest Transylvania. Pottery from the Neolithic Age (4000 BC) has been found widely, all around the country. Around 2000 BC there was a distinct group of Thracian people here, whom the Greeks referred to as "Getae". The Romans called them "Dacians" and Herotodus described them as ""the fairest and most courageous of men," because they believed in the immortality of the soul and were not afraid to die.Things to do, RecommendationsRumor has it that Romania sits on one of the world's strongest magnetic lines, and these are responsible for attracting psychics and... wait for it... VAMPIRES to the area!!!Many "dracula" tours take place in Romania, including such places as Sighisoara, the Snagoc Monastery, Castle Bran and of course, Curtea Domneasca. These sites are all related to the life of Vlad Tepes, the legendary Count Dracula.Apart from that, Bucharest is known for its large neoclassical buildings and fashionable parks (in their day). Visit Cismigiu Park, Calea Victoriei street and the Royal Palace for a taste of the architectural history.Text by Steve Smith.

I liked the story because it had many colorful pictures of animals. The book is fun to read because all the characters are doing what makes them happy. My favorite part was about the horse. The horse was having a great day galloping all around a huge field. It made me want to gallop with him.
I think that kids that like animals would like to read this book. The pictures of the animals were very colorful and looked real even though they were painted. It is a great book to share because of the pictures.

For many people, the New Year begins with popping a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine. It's the go-to drink for the celebratory moments in our lives.
Yet champagne is far more versatile than many people think. Beyond just pouring it into a glass, you can mix it with any number of spirits to create a range of champagne cocktails.
"One that starts off a little simpler is a French 75," respected mixologist Greg Seider tells Weekend Edition guest host Jacki Lyden. "[It's] gin, lemon juice, a slight bit of agave, topped with prosecco or champagne."
Seider co-owns The Summit Bar, which New York Magazine once named the city's best cocktail bar. He says one of his favorite champagne cocktails is something he calls a GP Spritz.
"I take hibiscus flowers and infuse that in agave. We add Aperol, a little bit of lemon juice and a hibiscus tincture, which is basically a concentrated bitter. Shake that up, and serve that on the rocks and top that with 3 ounces of prosecco."
If fresh hibiscus flowers are hard to come by, Seider says you can use hibiscus tea bags. "If you didn't have agave, you could do half sugar-half water, and maybe do eight tea bags to a quart [of the sugar-water solution], then you have a nice syrup you can use as a go-to."
GP Spritz
1 ounce Aperol
3/4 ounce hibiscus agave (recipe below)
1/4 ounce lemon juice
3 ounces prosecco
Put all ingredients except prosecco in a shaker tin. Shake and strain onto ice in a Collins glass. Top with prosecco. Garnish with lemon twist.
Hibiscus Agave
In a pot, mix 16 ounces of agave syrup with 16 ounces of water. Add 2 ounces of hibiscus tea or 10 tea bags. Bring to boil. Remove from heat for 20 minutes. Strain out tea. Makes 1 quart.
For many people, 2012 will begin with popping a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine. It's the go-to drink for the celebratory moments in our lives and it turns out champagne is far more versatile than you think. Beyond just pouring it into a glass, you can make it with any number of spirits to create a range of champagne cocktails.
And for a few ideas, we're joined by respected mixologist Greg Seider. He co-owns The Summit Bar in New York's East Village. New York Magazine once named it the city's best cocktail bar and Greg Seider is at our New York bureau. Welcome to the show.
GREG SEIDER: Hi, Jack. Very great to be here.
LYDEN: Happy New Year to you.
SEIDER: Happy New Year to you.
LYDEN: So, I'm so excited to talk to you. You know, the champagne cocktail is one of my favorite celebratory drinks. How do you make yours?
SEIDER: We have a bunch of different versions; one that starts off like a little simpler, a French '75 would be a simple gin, lemon juice, slight bit of agave, topped with prosecco or champagne would be a like a nice starter.
LYDEN: And what's the classic champagne cocktail? I just thought champagne, a little bitters, a sugar cube.
SEIDER: That would be it. That would be your original.
LYDEN: Let's get to your New Year's Eve recommendations. You gave us one that you call a GP Spritz. Tell us about it.
SEIDER: Yeah. The GP Spritz, actually inspired from my friend Angie Mosier down in Atlanta. So what I do is I take hibiscus flowers and I infuse that in agave and we add Aperol, a little bit of lemon juice, and then actually a hibiscus tincture which is basically a concentrated bitter, and shake that up and then actually serve that on the rocks. And we top that with, like, 3 1/2 ounces of prosecco.
LYDEN: I'm wheeling already. Where do you get hibiscus flowers in the middle of the winter, though, if you don't live in Atlanta?
SEIDER: You can just get the tea. And you would just do a concentrated, you know, maybe do eight tea bags, or if you didn't have agave you could do half sugar, half water. And you do like eight bags of tea to a quart and then you have a nice syrup that you can use as a go-to.
LYDEN: Okay. So keep some of the hibiscus infusion on hand.
SEIDER: Yeah. It's like an emergency, you know, along with batteries and the flashlights.
LYDEN: So you also mentioned using Aperol in this spritz and that's an orange liqueur.
SEIDER: Yeah. The reason Aperol - I find it more versatile. It's because it has a rhubarb-orange base to it, but it doesn't quite have the bitter finish of a Campari.
LYDEN: Mm-hmm.
SEIDER: So I find that it's more accessible for a lot of people.
LYDEN: Give us a warm drink, would you, please?
SEIDER: Oh, well, I like to do kind of a twist on the hot toddy. It's always, like, nice and simple where you - you could Irish whiskey. I like bourbon or rum as a nice twist. And just add some honey, a little bit of ginger, a squeeze of lemon, and hot water. Or, you could use, actually, substitute any teabag. You could use a ginger teabag and just put that in with the hot water to give it a nice little twist. And just - nice ounce of Vromer(ph) Bourbon and sweeten it to you liking with the honey.
LYDEN: I love the way you just play with flavor.
SEIDER: Yeah. It's from, like, my culinary - I do a lot of cooking and my friends are some of the best chefs in the city. So I get all my ideas from cooking, actually. I don't really get much inspiration from an actual bar.
LYDEN: Greg Seider owns The Summit Bar and Prima in New York City and he spoke to us from our New York bureau. What a way to start the year. Thanks.
SEIDER: Cheers.
LYDEN: Go to our website npr.org for the recipe for GP Spritz. This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. Scott Simon comes back next week. A Happy New Year. I'm Jacki Lyden. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

- The Pope is speaking out against steroids, saying that an athlete's body "cannot be considered an object" or be "worshipped." "Except cocks," he added.
- A new survey says that 17% of Americans have had sex at work, 4% have had sex on a train or bus, and 3% have had sex in church. "Clean fucking sweep," exclaimed the Pope.
- Ha, turns out that a third of women receiving a placebo sex drug actually experienced better sex, just from how I mentally sex U up, gurl. That placebo: ecstasy.
- Oh great, women in high stress jobs are 40% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than women in low stress jobs. Well, not everyone's job can be fucking the Pope. And that's the real tragedy, medically speaking.
- The WSJ raises an interesting point: the hoity-toity high fashion world is currently obsessed with chefs, mixing with the hoity-toity foodie world. But how can fashionistas really enjoy food when they have to stay so skinny? The answer is, by having sex with it.
- Taking fish oil does not help a common heart condition called atrial fibrillation, according to a new study. But what about magic juice? Did they try magic juice? Come back when you've tested magic juice.

How Obama crossed his own line on Syria
President Obama's decision to arm Syrian rebels for the first time follows an intense, nearly two-year debate within the White House in which the president and his closest advisers consistently expressed skepticism about US intervention in a Middle East civil war, current and former officials said.world Updated: Jun 15, 2013 07:53 IST
President Obama's decision to arm Syrian rebels for the first time follows an intense, nearly two-year debate within the White House in which the president and his closest advisers consistently expressed skepticism about US intervention in a Middle East civil war, current and former officials said.
The two deciding factors in the decision to change course, they said, were growing military gains by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, aided by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia, and harder intelligence that the Syrian military had used chemical weapons in the form of sarin nerve gas.
Which of the developments played a greater role in tipping the balance was unclear. Publicly, the Obama administration pointed to the evidence of chemical weapons use, which one senior administration official said had "ripened" in the last two weeks.
Some of the US officials said on Friday that the real game-changer in Obama's calculus on Syria was not the chemical weapons issue - which had been known about for months - but the growing role of Lebanese-based Hezbollah.
The battlefield advances by Hezbollah have raised the prospect that Assad could stay in power for some time. The Shiite militia's decision to get more directly involved in the conflict against mostly Sunni rebels has also heightened the war's sectarian divide, and increased Sunni-Shiite tensions in neighboring Lebanon.
US officials and European diplomats also cited as a factor in Obama's decision a looming meeting next week with G8 allies -especially France and Britain - in which Syria will be a major issue.
"Had they not made the beginnings of a move on the issue, the G8 meeting would have been pretty hard on the president," said a European diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Obama was roundly criticized by Syria hawks in the US Congress and elsewhere for first suggesting in April that chemical weapons may have been used in the Syrian civil war, crossing a "red line" he set last year, but not then following up with actions against the Damascus government.
But in an interview 10 days ago, well before the White House announced Obama's decision on Thursday, a senior aide insisted that the chemical weapons question had never been dropped.
There are "clear instructions from the president that we are not walking back from the red line," the senior administration official said at the time. "The intelligence community is all over this."
The White House on Thursday announced that it had concluded that Syrian forces had used chemical weapons, and said Obama had decided to supply direct military assistance to the opposition.
While Obama crossed a line of his own in making the move -the White House had for more than a year resisted calls to arm the rebels - he appears determined to keep the United States from getting sucked too deeply into Syria's sectarian civil war.
European officials and others with close knowledge of the situation said the United States would supply the Western-backed Syrian Military Council with automatic weapons, light mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.
While significant, the weaponry will not include shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles known as MANPADs that could bring down Syrian military planes and helicopters, officials said.
And for now, Washington is not backing the establishment of a "no-fly zone" over Syria, which would involve a major commitment of U.S. and European air power to counter Syria's extensive air defenses, they said, in part because there is no international consensus on the step.
"This is, in a way, a low-cost option," a former US official with extensive contacts in the region said of the White House's new steps, worrying that the US military aid was months too late.
The White House and State Department declined to publicly detail what sorts of weaponry and other materiel will be sent to the rebels, or how quickly it will arrive.
While Obama has been consistently cautious about US involvement in Syria, his team has been at times less than unified.
Obama's original decision, in August 2011, to call on Assad to leave power, was preceded by intense debate in Washington, London and other capitals, according to diplomats and former officials.
The Pentagon has been consistent in opposing deep US military involvement, such as a no-fly zone.
Last fall, however, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and CIA chief David Petraeus presented a joint proposal for the United States to arm the rebels. The White House turned down the idea.
In the current situation, Secretary of State John Kerry is said to have been active in pressing Obama on the need to do more.
"The constituency within the administration for doing more is much more significant that it was in the past," said Dennis Ross, who was a senior Middle East adviser to Obama. "But the hesitancy remains, I believe."
Ross, who left government in December 2011, said that during his time at the White House, Obama would closely question the wisdom and consequences of Syria options presented by his advisers.
"What's fair to say, he wanted to be very cautious about the kinds of commitments we would make, he wanted to know even then, look if we're going to take steps, I want to hear, tell me where that leads to," Ross said in an interview this week. "Tell me what's the consequence of doing 'X'. And tell me how that is going to improve the situation and make an outcome that we favor more likely."
Ross said that during his time at the Obama White House, the US experience in recent wars, which highlighted the difficulty in changing conditions in Islamic countries, weighed heavily in the president's thinking.
"I don't think you can look at it independently from Iraq and Afghanistan. And particularly the sense that these are easy to get into and hard to get out of," Ross said.
Obama's calculus would have been different, he added, if there had been a "more coherent, more credible and more compelling" opposition in Syria.
A senior Western diplomatic source gave a similar account, saying Obama essentially tells his aides to prove to him that American intervention would improve the situation.
"It's a legitimate position," this source said. "I don't see at this point the Americans authorizing the delivery of heavy weapons."
It remains to be seen whether the aid will change a military picture that has seen Assad's forces, backed by Hezbollah fighters, steadily regain ground against the rebels, capturing the key city of Qusair and preparing for an assault on rebel-held areas of northern Syria.
"We believe that we can make a difference," White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said, when asked if the US aid was too little. He noted that Arab nations and Turkey are also supporting the Syrian opposition.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Obama's decision was made some days ago, but would not be more specific.
"This has been something that the national security team and the president has been discussing for weeks. I know the White House said the president decided long before this week," Psaki said.

Durham official spent Friday locked down at HarvardBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 20. 2013 3:15AM
DURHAM - By 5 p.m. Friday, Durham Town Administrator Todd Selig had arrived safely back in New Hampshire by bus after a harrowing week in Cambridge, Mass.
Selig spent the week participating in an executive course focused on negotiation at the Harvard Kennedy School focused on negotiation that was disrupted on Monday as a result of the Boston Marathon bombings, and again on Friday, as much of the city was locked down for a manhunt for the bombing suspects.
At about 6:15 a.m. on Friday, Selig said Kennedy School staff came door-to-door in the graduate student apartment complex where he and 50 other international participants have been staying and told them to stay put.
By noon, they were told to make friends with nearby permanent residents, as the school was unable to provide them with food.
Selig sent a picture of himself eating Cheerios, nuts and granola bars with two other participants, food they were able to "negotiate" from the full-time residents of the graduate housing complex at the Harvard Business School.
Just before noon, participants were advised that the search for the suspect had been expanded and were asked again not to leave the building they were in.
At about 2:30 p.m., taxis were running again and C&J Trailways was operating buses to and from Logan Airport allowing Selig to get home.
Around 5 p.m., he sent an email advising he had arrived safely back in Portsmouth.
Selig said being in a class with people from so many different parts of the world provided some unique perspective on the situation.
One professor talked of students in her class from countries in the Middle East where attacks like the one on the Boston Marathon happen multiple times each week, and spoke of how different it is here in the United States, where one attack can raise so much interest and activity.
"Of course what was going through my mind was I want to be in a country where this is the exception, not the rule, and fortunately we are in a country like that in the United States," Selig said.
The situation was also discussed within the context of the course.
"Negotiation isn't only asserting one's position, but also the skill of de-escalating conflict and these types of terrorist actions are just the antithesis of what we're trying to accomplish through active negotiation," Selig said. "Clearly in this case, the people responsible, for whatever reason, were not interested in negotiation, they were interested in harmful action and it was just so unfortunate," Selig said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — In later versions of a Feb. 27 story about Arkansas abortion legislation, The Associated Press misidentified the year of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. It was 1973, not 1976.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Ark. House overrides veto of abortion restrictions
Arkansas House overrides veto of bill banning most abortions after 19th week of pregnancy
By ANDREW DeMILLO
Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas House voted 53-28 Wednesday to override Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of a bill that would outlaw most abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy, hours after a state Senate committee approved a package of even tighter abortion restrictions.
The Republican-controlled state Senate, which overwhelmingly backed the 20-week near-ban on abortions before Beebe, a Democrat, vetoed it, was expected to discuss whether to vote to override the veto Thursday. Like the GOP-led House, only a simple majority in the Senate is needed to override a veto.
The House-sponsored measure is based on the disputed argument that a fetus can feel pain by the 20th week of pregnancy, and thus deserves protection from abortion. Beebe vetoed the bill Tuesday, saying it contradicts the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion until a fetus can viably survive outside of the womb, which is typically at 22 to 24 weeks.
"This is not just any regular bill. It's one that has an eternal impact on each of us and to those children," Republican Rep. Andy Mayberry told House members as he urged them to override.
Two of the House's 48 Democrats joined with all 51 GOP members to support overriding Beebe's veto. Eighteen Democrats and the chamber's only Green Party member did not vote on the override, which has the same effect as voting against it. Republicans hold 21 of the 35 seats in the Senate, which approved the bill on a 25-7 vote last week.
Before the House vote, the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee voted 5-2 to advance a bill that would ban most abortions starting in the 12th week of pregnancy, sending it to the full Senate. The Senate passed an earlier version of the bill that would have outlawed abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, but amended it to push back the restriction and to add more exemptions.
Beebe declined to say Wednesday whether he also would veto the Senate's proposed 12-week ban, but he said he thinks it's on even shakier legal ground than the House's 20-week version.
"I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to do on a bill that's even more problematic than the one I already vetoed, but I won't tell you officially until that time," Beebe said Tuesday.
Seven states have enacted similar 20-week restrictions based on the fetal pain argument, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks laws affecting women's health. A similar law in Arizona has been blocked while a federal appeals court reviews a lawsuit challenging it.
The Arkansas bill is based on research Mayberry and other abortion opponents cite that fetuses can feel pain at 20 weeks. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, says it knows of no legitimate scientific information supporting the idea that a fetus experiences pain.
John DiPippa, dean emeritus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's law school, said he agrees with Beebe that the ban is unconstitutional and likely will be decided by the courts. He said he thinks the fetal pain argument will lose in the lower courts but that it's unclear how it might fare if it were to reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The core holding of Roe is that a state cannot place an obstacle in the way of a woman who wants to abort before viability," DiPippa said. "If you apply that standard, then these bills that draw the line at 20 weeks — which by all medical estimates is prior to viability — would clearly set up a substantial obstacle to a woman's ability to before that age."
GOP Sen. Jason Rapert said he hopes Beebe lets it stand but said he was confident the 12-week ban would have enough support to override a veto.
"The governor has his own conscience," Rapert, R-Conway, told reporters. "I think probably the best route would be that he just simply not sign the bill and let it become law, if that's what he decides to do. If he doesn't, then we'll override the veto and it'll become law in the state of Arkansas."

Categories: International and Comparative Law Legal Theory and Jurisprudence
Instructor(s) Quraishi-Landes, Asifa
This class is designed to give students a basic understanding of the internal workings of Islamic law at its theoretical roots. This will be done by analyzing the various methodologies that are represented in Islamic legal literature, helping to enable the students to identify modern manifestations of these methodologies in contemporary Muslim discourses. Specifically, we will undertake a study of ijtihad, the mechanism of Islamic legal reasoning, focusing on the role of human fallibility in interpreting divine text, issues of certainty and probability in Islamic lawmaking, and the resulting landscape of multiple schools of law madhhabs. We will review the dominant tools of legal interpretation in Islam, such as those rules surrounding the reading of source texts (Quran and Hadith), as well as qiyas (analogical reasoning) and ijmaa (consensus). This study will be done with an eye to the various rationales behind the jurists methodologies and the corresponding impact on Islamic law as a whole. Students will be asked to compare similarities and differences, and offer their own critiques of various approaches. The class will conclude with some attention to specific doctrinal areas, such as Islamic family law, criminal law, and finance. Attentive students should come away from the class with a working understanding of the various methodologies in classical Islamic jurisprudence, as well as an appreciation of the types of Islamic legal arguments that are employed in global Muslim debates today.
Reading Materials:
Readings will be from a collection provided on an online moodle site, as well as selected readings from WAEL HALLAQ, AN INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC LAW (Cambridge 2009).

On an airport runway strewn with bodies Wednesday, one student's job was to lie completely motionless. Another's job was to go crazy. Both pulled off their acting jobs without a hitch, along with dozens of others from Sun 'n Fun's Central Florida Aerospace Academy.
LAKELAND | On an airport runway strewn with bodies Wednesday, one student's job was to lie completely motionless. Another's job was to go crazy.
Both pulled off their acting jobs without a hitch, along with dozens of others from Sun 'n Fun's Central Florida Aerospace Academy.
The students, along with some adult volunteers from Sun 'n Fun, played the victims — 25 "died" while 65 were injured �— in a mock plane crash disaster. The drill was practice for the Lakeland Fire Department and Polk County Fire Rescue and serves as the airport's Federal Aviation Authority recertification.
John Maddox, an LFD battalion chief, said the drill went well. It included four cars getting clipped by an airplane, with six people injured, before the plane landed on the runway and split in two.
The mock disaster was filmed so emergency workers can use it as a training tool.
"I believe some things we did well," Maddox said. "And some things we can do better."
The so-called airplane was actually a junk bus, used as the fuselage with an airplane wing thrown in and a minibus, which represented the cockpit.
"We bought them from Webb's junk yard," Maddox said with a certain amount of pride.
In the future, the Lakeland Fire Department' response to a real plane crash with multiple victims will be more efficient than it is now, he said.
The LFD has an airport rescue and fire-fighting unit located at the base of the Lakeland Linder Tower. The unit can only operate on airport property.
In June, with the arrival of a new fire engine and 12 new firefighters for the city, a residential and commercial unit will be added to answer calls in the southwest portion of the city outside the airport. The temporary facilities near the tower will be expanded. The residential unit also will aid in emergencies at the airport.
A permanent Station 7 could be in operation for both airport and residential fire-fighting by summer of 2014, City Manager Doug Thomas has said.
As for those child "actors" from the aerospace school, Keegan Sommer, 16, had to stay still because his role was to be paralyzed with a spinal cord injury.
"It wasn't very comfortable being strapped onto one of those boards," Sommer said. "But it was fun."
Leslie Mathers, 15, was anything but still.
She had "cuts" on her forehead and her job was to wander around yelling for her family. Her family was not on the plane.
The responders had to get Mathers away from the other injured people so emergency workers could do their jobs.
"They had to carry me off," she said. "It was awesome."

Possible to have an Allergy without Symptoms?
Is it possible to have a positive blood test for a food allergen but not experience any allergic symptoms when the substance is ingested?
Thank you.
Absolutely. The blood test means only that you have allergic antibody to the food. This finding does not necessarily also mean clinical reactions to the food.

The coal export terminal proposed for the Columbia River town of Longview, Wash. is moving to the next phase in the environmental review process.
The Washington Department of Ecology announced Wednesday what environmental impacts it will consider in its review of the Millennium Bulk Terminal, which will move more than 40 million tons of coal from trains onto ships. At maximum capacity, 16 trains will service the terminal every day, traveling to and from the coal mines of the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana. Each month, 140 ships will deliver the coal to Asia.
It's one of three proposals in the Northwest to build shipping facilities to transfer trainloads of coal onto ships bound for Asia.
The Department of Ecology received 215,000 comments from the public about the Millenium Bulk Terminal. People asked Ecology to consider the environmental impacts of the vessel and ship traffic in the region. They also wanted Ecology to look at how the coal terminal will affect air and water quality, traffic, safety, human health and wildlife.
"Today we are just in the starting blocks for gathering information," said Sally Toteff, the agency's southwest regional director.
The draft environmental impact statement will include an assessment of greenhouse gas emissions, including terminal construction, operation, rail and vessel traffic and also the end use coal combustion, Toteff said, although she specified that Ecology will not be evaluating environmental impacts in the countries that import and burn the coal.
Ecology did not have a date for when the EIS will be completed.
Communities along the train route from the Powder River Basin to the proposed terminal have expressed concerns about coal dust, traffic and public health impacts.
"Spokane has much to lose, and little to gain by allowing all these new coal trains through our town," said Ben Stuckart, Spokane City Council president, who was pleased to hear of the broad scope of Ecology's environmental review. "It's great news that our state agency listened."
Ecology has recently come under attack by those who support coal exports in the region for its decision to look at impacts outside the immediate vicinity of the project, including greenhouse gas emissions from burning the coal.
"This month marks the two year anniversary of submitting permits to invest over $600 million in a coal export terminal near Longview," said Ken Miller, president and CEO of Millennium Bulk Terminals in a statement. "We are pleased the co-lead agencies are moving forward with drafting an EIS."
The two other coal terminals under consideration in the Northwest would be built near Bellingham, Wash. and in Boardman, Ore.
Millenium Bulk Terminals: Longview, Wash.
A $640 million terminal that would eventually export 44 million tons of coal at a private brownfield site near Longview, Wash. It's a joint venture of Australia's Ambre Energy and Arch Coal, the second-largest coal producer in the U.S.
Players: Alcoa, Ambre Energy, Arch Coal
Full Capacity: To be reached by 2018
Export Plans: 48.5 million short tons/year
Trains: 16 trains/day (8 full and 8 empty)
Train Cars: 960/day
Vessels: 2/day
What's Next: On Feb. 12, 2014 the Washington Department of Ecology announced what environmental impacts it will consider in its review of the Millennium Bulk Terminal. In September 2013, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced split from what was to be a joint review process. They will conduct a "separate but synchronized environmental review and public scoping process." The corps' review will be narrower in scope than that of Washington state. For more information on how to submit comments and to learn details for the public meetings visit the official EIS website.
