12 ounce bottle beer (I used an IPA.)
8 ounces cream cheese
1 pound shredded cheddar, off the block (not pre-shredded)
1 cup crumbled bacon
Directions:
Place a large pot of salted water on the stove to boil. Once boiling, cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.Meanwhile, pour a bottle of beer in a second large pot. (Choose a light crisp beer that you like to drink.) Place the pot over high heat, and add the cream cheese. As the beer starts to simmer, break the cream cheese into pieces with a whisk and whisk into the beer. Add the shredded cheddar. Warm and whisk until completely smooth.Once the pasta is cooked and drained, pour it into the cheese sauce. Reduce the heat to low, then stir and cook another 3 minutes to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.To serve, scoop the beer mac and cheese into bowls and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
NOTE: If you let the mac and cheese sit too long and it firms up, place back over heat and stir in a little water to loosen the sauce.

Joint Task Force-East
NOVO SELO, Bulgaria — U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel joined together for two symbolic ceremonies Sept. 27 and 28 as exercise Lion Strike came to an end.
First, Joint Task Force-East celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a humanitarian project at a kindergarten in Mokren, Bulgaria. Eleven U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, otherwise known as SeaBees, finished an extensive renovation of the school during the exercise.
The children from the school, along with parents, teachers, school director, local officials and U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel, crowded the small courtyard during the ceremony.
"We say in the United States that the children are our future," said Army Lt. Col. Bruce Sones, commanding officer for JTF-E "Lion Strike".
"We hope through the efforts of those involved in this project that the improved environment created for teaching the children will contribute to the children's development as they grow and become leaders in your society."
The school director, Margarita Nicolova, thanked the SeaBees and then presented them with a picture painted by the children, a CD of Bulgarian folk music, a photo of the children and a glass vial filled with Bulgarian soil.
Of the soil, she said, "Wherever you go, you know you'll have a piece of Bulgaria with you."
The school children then sang several songs for the audience and the ribbon was cut. But, there was another surprise for the children, a HMMWV full of gifts. All of the soldiers, sailors and airmen participating in the exercise had contributed money to buy much-needed school supplies and educational toys for the school.
"We will maintain what you have done, and promise to continue with improvements," said Emil Enchev, mayor of Mokren. "Hopefully we will continue working together in the future."
The next day, all JTF-E "Lion Strike" participants, both U.S. and Bulgarian, came together again, this time to commemorate the end of the exercise during the closing ceremony.
During the ceremony Sones and Col. Biser Kalinov, chief of Training, Bulgarian Land Forces, presented certificates of achievement to 14 U.S. Soldiers and 16 Bulgarian soldiers for their efforts during the exercise.
"During this training, we had the opportunity to gain military experience from the leading force in NATO - the United States Military, and to show that while representing a small army, the Bulgarian officers, Non-commissioned officers and soldiers are honorable partners and excellent professionals," said Kalinov, who spoke first during the ceremony.
He was followed by Sones, who echoed Kalinov's feelings.
"This closing ceremony does not mark the end of a training opportunity or a farewell to relationships fostered," said Sones.
"In our minds, it marks the hopeful commencement of future training opportunities to be conducted between our nations."
"We can truly say the professionalism and generosity of the Bulgarian Land Forces is unrivaled," he continued.
"We know the strong relationship between the United States and Bulgaria, as demonstrated during this exercise, will continue to grow, and we look forward to training and serving with you in the years to come."

Ceviche pairs excellently with many different beers. For a fun, fruity pairing, try matching it up with a fruit lambic like Lindemans Framboise. The ceviche’s oceanic and herby flavors match nicely with the strong fruit of the lambic, and they share a tanginess that is fresh and inspiring.

Currently serving his fourth term in the United States Congress, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is a tireless advocate for social and economic justice. Since his arrival in Congress, he has been at the forefront of a wide range of important issues, such as combating voter suppression, developing meaningful police reform, and expanding economic opportunity for all Americans. In 2018, he worked with top Republicans on Capitol Hill and the White House as the lead Democratic sponsor of the First Step Act—the most far-reaching criminal justice reform passed in a decade.
On February 6, as part of the Brookings Institution’s celebration of Black History Month, Rep. Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, joined David M. Rubenstein Fellow Rashawn Ray for a fireside chat to discuss how lawmakers can address historic inequities in public policy and help combat racism in America.
Questions from the audience followed their conversation.

Built in 1929-1931, this Art Deco-style 25-story skyscraper was designed by the firm of Dietel, Wade and Jones to serve as the city hall for the city of Buffalo. Prior to the construction of city hall, the city government of Buffalo was housed in the County and City Hall, built 60 years prior. The city more than quadrupled in population from 125,000 to over 500,000 in the half-century between the 1870s and 1920s, which prompted the city government to start planning the construction of a dedicated, separate city hall building to house city offices and the city council. The west side of Niagara Square was chosen as the site for the building, necessitating the first major alteration to the city’s original street grid with the closure of the block of Court Street running west from the square. The site was previously home to the Greek Revival-style mansion of former Buffalo mayor Samuel Wilkeson, which had been demolished and replaced by a gas station in 1915, which itself was replaced by City Hall. By the time that City Hall was being constructed, Niagara Square had transitioned from a fashionable residential enclave lined with the mansions of the city’s elite to a major civic center and an extension of the city’s central business district, with the high-rise Statler Hotel and substantial Buffalo Athletic Club sitting on the north and south sides of the square. Shortly after the completion of city hall, two Stripped Classical-style federal office buildings were built on the east side of the square along Court Street, solidifying the area’s status as a major cultural and governmental center for the city. At the time of its construction, the 32-story 398-foot-tall city hall was one of the city’s tallest buildings, though the earlier Rand Tower at Lafayette square exceeded it in height. The building was finished at a transition point, as the Great Depression caused the city’s double-digit growth rate to slow to less than one percent in the 1930s, and then begin a long decline in the 1950s from nearly 600,000 people that would continue through the 2010s, when the city neared a population of 250,000. In the same time period, the metropolitan area around the city, following the trends of other struggling postindustrial cities in the Great Lakes and Rust Belt region, grew from under 1 million residents in the 1930s, to over 1.3 million in the 1970s, before declining to 1.1 million by the 2010s. Given when it was built, the building, like Buffalo Central Terminal, represents the city when it was nearing its peak, right before it began a cycle of decline that only ended in the past decade.
The building features an octagonal base three stories tall, with multiple places where the building’s tower features setbacks, giving it a distinctive Art Deco silhouette and meaning that, by the time the building reaches the top floor, the footprint of the floor is about 1/6 of that at ground level. The building is clad in Minnesota limestone and Amherst (Ohio) sandstone, with several courses of gray granite at the base. The building’s floors shrink as it rises, first setting back from South Elmwood Avenue to the rear, the chamfered corners at the diagonal radial avenues, and above the front portico at the third floor, before setting back further at the thirteenth floor, where the north and south wings terminate, and at the fifteenth floor, where the two wings immediately north and south of the portico that extend eastward towards Niagara Square terminate. The tops of each setback feature a low-slope roof enclosed by a sandstone parapet. Above this, the tower slowly transitions from a square footprint to an octagonal footprint, before ending in an octagonal roof with polychromatic decorative masonry, Iroquois busts at the corners, and ribs atop the roof. The building features many historic metal casement windows that open inward, making them easy to clean without the need for exterior window washers. Most window bays, except those on the fourth and thirteenth floors and outer bays of the taller setbacks and tower, feature decorative recessed spandrel panels in copper or stone, flanked by pilasters, which emphasize the building’s verticality. The front portico also emphasizes its verticality, featuring a cluster of fluted sandstone columns with decorative capitals supporting an architrave with a decorative carved relief that represents the city’s history and industrial prowess. The ceiling of the portico features recessed square and triangular patterns set at a 45-degree angle to the rest of the building, with decorative colorful circular trim pieces inside these recesses. Additionally, the entrance doors are on a recessed walls flanked by two concavely curved walls covered with flutes, and features decorative carved friezes on the stone spandrel panels over the doors. The rear facade, facing Court Street to the west at the exterior of the main Council Chamber, features a colonnade with engaged fluted columns flanking recessed windows and copper spandrel panels, with a large relief depicting the city’s history above. At the chamfered corners of the building, along the radial side streets, are two small plazas with statues of Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore, two former US Presidents whom lived in Buffalo.
The interior of the building is richly decorated with murals, bronze doors, decorative bronze panels, stone cladding, stone floors with brass inlays, fluted columns and pilasters, vaulted ceilings, decorative grilles, carved figurines, decorative tile ceilings, carved wooden doors, and a notable semi-circular stained glass skylight in the main council meeting chamber that depicts the sun. Many of the building’s murals were created by William de Leftwich Dodge, with sculptor Albert Stewart creating many of the friezes, and statues by Rene Paul Chambellan. A bronze tablet dedicated in honor of Mayor Roesch and installed in 1937 was created by William Ehrich. The building’s interior is cooled in the summer utilizing a system that catches breezes blowing in from the west off Lake Erie, channeling them into the basement for passive geothermal cooling, and then directed into the building’s air ventilation system. The top of the building features an open-air observation deck, which can be accessed via elevator, with a total of eight elevators serving the building on the lower floors, reducing in number for the smaller upper floors.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is one of the best examples of municipal Art Deco architecture in the world, and stands as a prominent symbol of the city of Buffalo, being one of the largest and tallest municipal buildings in the United States, and being prominently sited west of most of the skyscrapers in the city. The building helps create a major focal point on Niagara Square, and a sense of enclosure for the visual axis running west Court Street from Lafayette Square, located a few blocks to the east.

Tulum is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Coba. The ruins are situated on 12-meter (39 ft) tall cliffs, along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayans; it was at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico. Old World diseases brought by the Spanish settlers appear to have been the cause of its demise. One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists.
