WASHINGTON — The vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee says the panel is scheduled to vote early next week on John Brennan's nomination to be director of the CIA.

Democratic leaders of the committee had hoped to hold the vote today. But Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said Thursday that consideration of Brennan's nomination has been delayed because he and other committee members have not received all the information they've requested from the White House about lethal drone strikes against terror suspects and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Huffington Post: Maryland Gun Control Bill Passes Senate

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 10:22 AM PST

The Maryland Senate on Thursday passed a sweeping gun control bill that would give the state some of the country's strictest gun regulations.

The Baltimore Sun has details:

In a 28-19 vote, senators approved a plan to require a license to buy a handgun, limit magazines to 10 bullets and ban the sale of assault-style weapons. Maryland State Police would be empowered to audit gun dealers, and state rules limiting gun ownership for people with mental illnesses would be expanded. Other provisions increase the information sent to databases used for background checks.

Baylor will join the Bruins and Cardinals in wearing the short-sleeved top, which the company debuted with the NBA's Golden State Warriors earlier this month.

"Their unique styles, beautiful ornamentations and designs fascinated me," he told The Huffington Post in an email, a sentiment that is clear in the artist's work, which radiates with creative energy. When Misic moved to New York in 1994 following the civil war, he found solace in a Bic pen and a sheet of paper.

Huffington Post: Dali Theft: Phivos Istavrioglou, Moncler Publicist, Pleads Guilty For Stealing Salvador Dali Painting

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:52 AM PST

The surreal theft of a Salvador Dali painting in broad daylight came to a realistic conclusion in court when publicist Phivos Istavrioglou recently pled guilty to stealing Dali's "Cartel de Don Juan Tenorio" from Venus Over Manhattan Gallery in New York.

Istavrioglou, a 29-year-old from Athens serving as Moncler's international press office manager, grabbed the 1949 drawing from the gallery walls, placed it into a shopping bag and simply walked out. The thief then fled to Greece, yet when he realized his face was caught on surveillance camera he panicked, sending the pricey work to JFK in the mail in a cardboard tube, dorm-poster style.

Authorities tracked down fashion-forward criminal thanks to fingerprints left on the shipment, which matched prints from a separate incident of a juice bottle being stolen from Whole Foods market, according to the Guardian. An investigator posed as a gallery owner offering Istavrioglou a position to lure him back to New York.

Huffington Post: Keira Knightley, Kerry Washington And More Show Us How To Wear Sexy Bedhead Hair (PHOTOS)

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 05:55 AM PST

Keira Knightely, Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland have another thing in common besides the fact that all of their names begin with the letter "K." These three gorgeous stars have mastered bedhead hair. And I'm not talking about that hop out of the bed and shake it out look we all seem to rely on when we've hit the snooze button way too many times. I'm referring to that roughed-up (in a good way) hair.

For her most recent turn as Marie Claire cover girl, Knightley sported bedhead hair with a rock and roll edge. Meanwhile, Washington has been making the red carpet rounds for "Django Unchained" wearing her shoulder-length haircut perfectly tousled. While former Destiny's Child member Roland balances out her new blunt bangs with loose waves.

Ben Skervin, the man behind Knightley's Marie Claire bedhead hairstyle, shares his step-by-step instructions on how to get the look. Prep wet hair with a light foaming air mousse to build volume. Then rough blow-dry using your fingers to make the hair appear less finished. Next, create a side part (or you can comb your bangs forward like Washington and Rowland), add a rich moisturizing hair product like Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Color Gloss Creme and scrunch into the ends of the hair. This helps to create those soft, yet tousled waves, but if you need a curl boost, wrap one-inch sections of hair around a clipless curling iron. To finish, set the style with extra firm hold hairspray.

Gramigna con tonno sott'olio e piselli

La gramigna è un formato di pasta molto usato a Bologna e normalmente si sposa bene con il ragù di salsiccia: oggi io ho voluto condirla velocemente con tonno e piselli e ne è uscito un piatto buono, facilissimo da fare e con colori pastello che mi fanno venire voglia di Primavera…

Il colorato e allegro grembiule che fa da sfondo alle foto di questa ricetta è di Creativitavola.

 

INGREDIENTI (per 4 persone)

400 gr di gramigna

200 gr di tonno sott'olio

200 gr di piselli freschi o surgelati

olio extravergine d'oliva

sale

pepe

 

PROCEDIMENTO

Portare a bollore una capace pentola piena di acqua, aggiungere una presa di sale grosso e versarvi alla gramigna e i piselli.

Cuocere la pasta a dente e scolare il tutto: condire con il tonno sott'olio sgocciolato, un filo d'olio a crudo e una bella macinata di pepe, mescolando per amalgamare bene il tutto.

Disporre nei piatti individuali e servire subito.

"[Lawmakers] should find an alternative, they should do their job, but why not empower the president and his administration?" Walker said during a Monday appearance on "Fox and Friends." "Give them the authority within their budgets to make those changes so they don't have to do some of the things they are talking about."

Walker hit Obama's "scare tactics" over the sequester, noting "there's always a better way" to deal with spending cuts.

Huffington Post: Ben Bernanke Urges Congress To Avoid Sharp Spending Cuts, Defends Stimulus

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 08:07 AM PST


By Pedro da Costa and Alister Bull
WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly defended the U.S. central bank's bond-buying stimulus before Congress on Tuesday, saying its benefits clearly exceed possible costs.
The Fed chairman also urged lawmakers to avoid sharp spending cuts set to go into effect on Friday, which he warned could combine with earlier tax increases to create a "significant headwind" for the economic recovery.
Bernanke said Fed policymakers are cognizant of potential risks from their extraordinary support for the economy, including the possibility the public loses confidence in the central bank's ability to unwind its stimulus smoothly or the potentially destabilizing effect of low rates on key markets.
But he added these did not seem material at the moment, adding the central bank has all the tools it needs to retreat from its monetary support in a timely fashion.
"To this point, we do not see the potential costs of the increased risk-taking in some financial markets as outweighing the benefits of promoting a stronger economic recovery and more rapid job creation," Bernanke said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Senate Banking Committee.
Minutes of the Fed's Jan. 29-30 policy meeting, released last week, showed that a number of officials felt the potential risks posed by buying bonds could warrant tapering or ending the program before hiring picks up. However, several others argued there was a danger in halting it prematurely.
Bernanke appeared to be in the latter camp, citing improvements in the housing and auto sectors and tracing them in part to the Fed's stimulus.
He also noted that inflation, one of the risks most often cited by critics of the central bank's so-called quantitative easing, remains projected to stay at or below the Fed's 2 percent target for the foreseeable future.
In response to the financial crisis and deep recession of 2007-2009, the Fed not only slashed official interest rates to effectively zero but also bought more than $2.5 trillion in mortgage and Treasury debt in an effort to push down long-term interest rates and spur investment.
The Fed is currently buying $85 billion in bonds each month and has said it plans to keep purchasing assets until it sees a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market.
In unusually direct remarks on fiscal policy, Bernanke warned that the near-term spending cuts know as the sequester, which are set to take hold later this week, threaten an already challenged economic expansion.
"The Congress and the administration should consider replacing the sharp, frontloaded spending cuts required by the sequestration, with policies that reduce the federal deficit more gradually in the near term but more substantially in the longer run," Bernanke said.
"A substantial portion of the recent progress in lowering the deficit has been concentrated in near-term budget changes, which, taken together, could create a significant headwind for the economic recovery," he said.
The U.S. economy braked sharply in the fourth quarter, but is generally forecast to grow around 2 percent or more this year. Unemployment has remained elevated, and registered 7.9 percent in January.
Bernanke said persistent joblessness was a scourge with potentially long-lasting effects for the United States.
"High unemployment has substantial costs, including not only the hardship faced by the unemployed and their families, but also the harm done to the vitality and productive potential of our economy as a whole," Bernanke said.

Huffington Post: Double Ultrasound Bill In Indiana Changed To Require Just One Procedure

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 08:07 AM PST

Indiana state senators have dropped a requirement that would force women to undergo an ultrasound procedure both before and after having a medication-induced abortion, after the legislation attracted national criticism.

"I think that physicians know a little bit more about that particular area than legislators," state Sen. Ron Alting (R), who is the author of Monday's amendment to Senate Bill 371, told the Evansville Courier and Press.

The Senate Health and Provider Services Committee approved the legislation last week, sending it to the full chamber for a vote. It would impose heavy regulations on doctors and clinics that offer medication abortions.
