(CBS/AP) NEW YORK – Alec Baldwin says he’s still thinking of running for mayor of New York, but not in the 2013 election.

Pictures: Alec BaldwinPictures: Famous brothers The 53-year-old actor said he’s talking with two top universities about enrolling in a master’s program in politics and government, so he can better understand what the “fiscal imperatives” of the mayor’s job are. He told the paper that he plans to enroll in school in the fall of 2012. Baldwin added that running in 2013 also is impossible because he’s obligated to complete the current season of “30 Rock,” which wraps up in April, 삼척출장안마 and to appear in future episodes of the Emmy-winning series.

Pizza Done the Healthy Way

Posted by | Ago 30, 2019 | |

If you are starting to watch your weight but are having a very difficult time giving up some of your favorite foods like pizzas, you are probably not alone, and you really do not need to give it up. Just like many other foods, Health Affairs there are healthy options as you look at making them. As you try to formulate a healthy one, take into consideration your crust, sauce, and the toppings. You will be surprised at how delicious your healthy pizzas will be. The crust is a very important part of a pizza, but if you are trying to watch your carbohydrate intake and fat intake, it is a mistake to keep eating your favorite buttery, deep dish crust or your cheese stuffed one, or even your average crust made with white flour. The crust in the first two have a lot of fat and carbohydrates, and the latter one will just provide a lot of carbohydrates. An alternative to these less healthy crusts is to ask at a restaurant if they have a whole wheat crust and if they can make it a thin crust. This will still have carbohydrates, but they will be much healthier. Just ordering a thinner crust will help if the restaurant does not have a whole wheat one. If you make pizzas at home, you can try making a thinner crust...

Video: Syrian rebels determined to win or die trying Syria’s official SANA news agency said “armed terrorist groups” – the regime’s phrase for rebels – had been pushed out from areas on both sides of the airport, which is located about 15 kilometers (nine miles) southeast of Aleppo’s historical center. The report did not make it clear whether the fighting was closer to the international airport or the adjacent military airfield, a base for carrying out airstrikes on rebel sites in the north. Aleppo carries major symbolic and strategic value. It’s the commercial hub of northern Syria and close to rebel-held territory and critical supply corridors to the Turkish border. Rebels have sought control of the ancient center, dominated by a medieval castle that is part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. That would deal an embarrassing blow to the regime’s claim that its overwhelming firepower can halt opposition advances. “Those who think that the Syrian Arab army will be defeated are dreaming,” said Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid Moallem in a state TV interview late Thursday. Civilians, meanwhile, have been increasingly caught in the crossfire, and many are fleeing to safety in nearby Turkey. The U.N. refugee agency spokesman Adrian Edwards said 3,500 people crossed into Turkey on Tuesday and Wednesday. Edwards told reporters in Geneva there are now almost 65,000 Syrians in nine refugee camps in Turkey, about 40 percent of them new arrivals this month. In Jordan, nearly 2,700 Syrians have entered since Tuesday, swelling the numbers there to over 150,000. Beyond the refugees who have fled to neighboring countries, the U.N.’s humanitarian chief Valerie Amos estimated that as many as 2.5 million people inside Syria need relief assistance. The core of Assad’s military and political power appears to remain in place, but major cracks have emerged in the wider reaches of his regime. They include high-level military and political defections and the ability of rebel guerrillas to stage bombings and abductions in the heart of the capital, Damascus. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who visited Syria’s neighbors Jordan and Lebanon this week, told France’s Europe-1 radio Friday that he was told “there will be new defections on a large scale.” He gave no other details. Fabius also defended France’s refusal to send weapons to the Syrian rebels, despite their appeals for military help. He claimed rebel backers Qatar, Saudi Arabia and others are sending arms to the rebels — although there has been no evidence of sharply enhanced military firepower by the anti-Assad forces. “We Europeans decided on an arms embargo,” he said. “We are not going to contradict our own positions.” In Lebanon, tensions from Syria have spilled over into the volatile patchwork of factions backing the rebels and others firmly behind Assad’s regime, such as the Iranian-backed militant and political group Hezbollah. In the most prominent incident yet, a powerful Shiite Muslim clan claims to have taken more than 20 Syrian nationals and a Turk hostage in retaliation for the seizure of a family member by rebels in Syria this week. The clan said Thursday it was calling off “military operations” and would halt abductions for now. Another captive was taken by unknown gunmen. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said a Turkish truck driver, Abdel Basit Erslan, was seized as he was driving in the Beirut suburb of Choueifat. It was unclear who was behind the abduction Thursday night. The U.S. and Turkey issued security warnings for Lebanon. On its website, the U.S. Embassy called on its citizens to take extra security precautions, adding that it had received reports of a higher chance of attacks on U.S. nationals. Kidnapping, it added, was another possible threat. The embassy also announced the suspension of the Fulbright and the English Language Fellow student exchange programs. The Turkish Foreign Ministry also advised its citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to Lebanon and urged Turks already in the country to take safety precautions. Arab Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE called this week on their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.

The Taliban summer offensive coincides with Afghan police and soldiers taking on more responsibility for security while international forces start to withdraw. Separately, NATO reported that one of its service members was killed Wednesday in an insurgent attack in the east. NATO did not disclose the nationality of the soldier or provide any more details. So far this year, 285 international troops have been killed in Afghanistan. At least nine worshippers were wounded when the grenades exploded during morning prayers at a mosque in Baghi Sara area, Khost police chief Sardar Mohammad Zazai said. One exploded inside the mosque and the other went off in a courtyard outside. The third failed to detonate. Zazai blamed Taliban insurgents for the attack. “This was the work of the enemy,” he said. “It cannot be a private dispute. Why would anyone be so angry to throw grenades in a mosque while people are praying?” He said many of the worshippers were Afghans who work at the nearby U.S. post, Forward Operating Base Salerno. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid issued a statement that did not acknowledge the mosque attack but claimed an insurgent suicide bomber had attacked a U.S. base in Khost, causing several American casualties. A spokesman for the NATO military coalition said Wednesday that there was no attack on the Salerno base, which is close to the mosque in Baghi Sara. Lt. Col. Hagen Messer said the American personnel at the base reported hearing gunfire from the mosque but that Afghan police were investigating. At least 14 people, including four women and a policeman, were injured when explosives set up on a bicycle exploded at a market in the city of Herat while people were shopping for an upcoming Muslim holiday, said Noor Khan Nekzad, a spokesman for the provincial police. The latest violence follows a particularly bloody day for Afghanistan. Suicide bombers launched multiple attacks in remote Nimroz province in southwestern Afghanistan near the Iranian border on Tuesday, killing dozens of people, including shoppers buying sweets for a Muslim holiday. The bombings left charred and smoldering bits of cookies and dried fruit among the bodies on the ground. A separate market bombing later Tuesday, this one in Kunduz in the north, killed 10 people, including five children. And in the eastern province of Paktika, a car hit a roadside bomb. Four children died in the blast, provincial spokesman Mokhlis Afghan said, bringing Tuesday’s death toll to 50 – 11 police and 39 civilians. At least 110 people were wounded in all the attacks. The attacks came as the Taliban and their allies step up their assaults in a display of force that often results in civilian carnage. Militants are especially trying to weaken the still-developing Afghan security forces, who are to assume control across their homeland in 28 months, when most foreign combat troops will have left. The Taliban “want to expand their influence – show that they are everywhere,” said Afghan political analyst Jawid Kohistani. “They want to show that the Afghan police are not strong enough, so they are targeting the security forces and the government.” Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said Tuesday’s attacks were “acts of intentional mass murder.” “By targeting innocent civilians in populated areas, the insurgents have again shown they will kill non-combatants without hesitation to advance their backward-looking plans for Afghanistan,” Allen said in a statement. “Once again, I call on (Afghan Taliban leader) Mullah Omar to rein in his murderers. His intentions not to target civilians are hollow.” In past statements, Omar has asked his fighters to avoid civilian casualties. In one message in 2010, for instance, he said: “Pay attention to the life and property of the civilians so that … your jihad activities will not become a cause for destruction of property and loss of life of people.” The U.N. reported last week that civilian deaths were lower in the first six months of 2012 than in the first half of 2011, but that an onslaught of summer attacks from insurgents were threatening to reverse that trend. In all, 1,145 civilians were killed in Afghanistan between January and June of this year, according to the U.N. report.
