What is your secret weapon in the kitchen? The key to Thanksgiving is not the turkey, it's the chicken stock. You want to keep some chicken stock hot on the stove. You use it in a lot of different ways, mainly to reheat things and to bring back moisture in your dishes...
...Lowdown:: Langewiesche, acclaimed author of such books as American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center and Inside the Sky: A Meditation on Flight, has little use for hagiography or hero worship. But his meticulous breakdown of the fateful flight is highly complimentary to Sullenberger. One exception is the author's puzzlement over why such an experienced pilot chose not to apportion credit to his aircraft, whose "fly by wire" automation helps pilots handle basic tasks and is capable of overriding human fallibility. Sullenberger bristled at the suggestion that the plane deserved credit, arguing on Nov. 15 that the book "greatly...
...question being asked today was how all four of the referees officiating the game could have failed to see Henry use his hand to control the ball. The logical fix: allow referees to consult video as they do in professional baseball, hockey, basketball and American football, as well as in international sports like cricket, rugby and tennis.

...increasing number of fans say yes. But both FIFA and its European pillar, Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), have repeatedly rejected using video. Both bodies have threatened European pro leagues with dire consequences if they even test the use of replay.

The cost of such technology, they argue, would mean leagues in poorer countries wouldn't be able to use video, dividing soccer into haves and have-nots. They also claim that the time taken...
...Instead, Platini has been testing the use of two additional referees, stationed behind each goal. These officials would scrutinize play in the penalty area - where the majority of contested calls are made. The problem with that, critics say, is it simply adds two more fallible humans to the current four-person officiating teams. "Thierry Henry's handling of the ball should relaunch the debate on video in soccer, because viewing replays would have allowed officials to sanction the offense, disallow the goal and preserve the integrity of the match," former French referee Bruno Derrien told France Info radio.
