Senate Dems bash climate deniers
Senate Democrats used an emotionally charged hearing Thursday on the effects of Hurricane Sandy to make an aggressive attack on climate change deniers in and out of Congress.
At a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing featuring sometimes tearful reports from lawmakers representing East Coast states, some panel Democrats suggested putting customary congressional collegiality on the back burner to push more forcefully for mitigating climate change.
Story Continued Below
"There is a new normal of new extremes and we have to be prepared for it," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said. "And the reason we have this new normal of new extremes is because global climate change is happening and is real. And we've tolerated the deniers for far too long in this body."
Whitehouse criticized "a rear-guard action in this building led by polluters" against taking action on climate change.
"But we have to face the fact that the deniers are wrong. They are just plain dead wrong," he said. "And we have to deal with that, and I think some of the courtesies that we have given to one another collegially really have to yield to the fact that some of the things that are being said in the Senate, and occasionally regrettably in this committee chamber, are just plain wrong."
Committee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) applauded Whitehouse's remarks.
"The clock is ticking and Hurricane Sandy has shown us all what the scientists sitting right in this room [said] the day I got the gavel, … and they told us exactly what would happen and it's all happening," Boxer said. "And you can close your eyes and cover your ears and put a pillow over your head. But anyone with a heartbeat and a pulse can tell things are changing. And you are right and we're going to do whatever we can."
Whitehouse's and Boxer's remarks came after the lone Republican on the panel who attended — incoming ranking member David Vitter (R-La.) — had left. Current ranking member Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who labels the entire concept of climate change a "hoax," did not attend.
The hearing featured damage reports from nine Senate Democrats, seven House Democrats and three Republicans representing areas in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut that were most damaged by the storm.
"What we're doing here is we're making a historic record of this storm," Boxer said. "Because personally, I think it's a turning point in our approach to climate change. I hope it is."
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) — one of the three House Republicans who testified at the hearing — cautioned against lumping the broader, complex debate over climate change with the need to quickly address the infrastructure shortcomings that Sandy exposed.
"I think that distracts us from the important task at hand, which is hardening infrastructure," Harris told POLITICO after he testified. "And we don't need distractions because we don't have unlimited resources or assets anymore. We have to be surgical in where we designate the spending of our assets."

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Kyli Hanson singled in each game to extend her hitting streak to 11, but Yale lost a non-league doubleheader at Wagner. Morgan Miller pitched a six-hitter in the first game, an 8-1 Seahawk victory, and Victoria Batistelli homered in the second game to lead Wagner to a 7-4 win.
Ashley Sloan went 2-for-4 for the Bulldogs in the opener. Christina Guerland, Megan Enyeart and Allie Canulli also had hits. Sloan and Meredith Parks both had two hits in the second game.
Yale (18-14) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener. Hanson singled, stole second and scored on Enyeart's double to right center.
Wagner, though, answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning. The big blow was Batistelli's three-run homer.
The Seahawks (15-15) added another run in the third and nearly scored two more, but Sloan robbed Ami Iwicki of a home run by making a leaping catch at the centerfield fence.
Yale also grabbed the early lead in the second game. Sloan led off with a triple and scored on Hanson's sacrifice fly.
After Wagner scored twice in the second, the Bulldogs regained the lead with a three-run third. Parks doubled and moved to third on Sloan's single. With two out, Hanson singled home Parks. Sloan and Hanson executed a double steal to account for the second run, and Enyeart followed with an RBI single. Katie Edwards then walked and Tracy Timm singled to load the bases. Wagner pitcher Danielle Wagoner, though, worked out of further trouble.
Batistelli's two-run homer in the bottom of the third gave the Seahawks a 5-4 lead.
Wagner added two more runs in the fourth. Iwicki doubled and scored on a wild pitch, and Natalie Stephens doubled and scored on Lacey Santone's squeeze bunt.
The game was called after Yale batted in the fifth because of darkness.
The Bulldogs return to Ivy League play this weekend with doubleheaders at Dartmouth on both Saturday and Sunday.

Hannity misled about several Obama foreign policy positions to ask: "[D]oes that sound like a guy that has the experience to be the commander in chief?"
On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity made misleading assertions about Sen. Barack Obama's positions on civilian deaths in Afghanistan, military spending, and nuclear weapons, and then asked, "[D]oes that sound like a guy that has the experience to be the commander in chief?"
On the September 11 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity followed a series of misleading assertions about Sen. Barack Obama by asking Fox News contributor Lanny Davis: "[D]oes that sound like a guy that has the experience to be the commander in chief?"
Specifically, Hannity said:
When Barack Obama said that our troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing major problems there, when he said he could cut military spending, billions of dollars, cut investment in unproven missile defense systems, will not weaponize space, slow development of Future Combat Systems, when he said he would rid the world of nuclear weapons, set a goal of doing that, does that sound like a guy that has the experience to be the commander in chief? And do you think it was wrong when he accused our troops of air-raiding villages and killing civilians?
But Hannity mischaracterized Obama's statement about his plans to "cut military spending, billions of dollars." And in suggesting Obama was somehow misguided for proposing "slow[ing] development of Future Combat Systems," Hannity did not mention that the McCain campaign has said [1] that the program "should be ended." Further, while Hannity suggested that Obama's goal of a world without nuclear weapons indicated he did not have the experience to be commander in chief, a bipartisan group of experts echoed Obama's position. Moreover, in his repeated [2] references to Obama's statement that "we're air-raiding villages and killing civilians" in Afghanistan, Hannity again failed to note that Obama's claim is reportedly accurate.
Airstrikes and civilian deaths in Afghanistan
As Media Matters for America has documented [3], Hannity has previously attacked and mischaracterized Obama's August 13, 2007, statement [4] that "[w]e've got to get the job done there [in Afghanistan] and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there." On the August 15, 2007, edition of Hannity & Colmes, Hannity falsely suggested [5] that Obama "attack[ed] our troops as murderers," and on the August 21, 2007, show, claimed [6] that Obama's comments were "not true." In fact, U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan -- and accounts of resulting civilian casualties -- have been widely [7] reported [8] in the media and have reportedly provoked criticism from Afghan President Hamid Karzai [9] and a British commander [10] stationed there. Additionally, the Associated Press reported [11] in a "Fact Check" responding to conservative attacks on Obama: "Western forces have been killing [Afghan] civilians at a faster rate than the insurgents."
From the August 14, 2007, AP "Fact Check" article [11]:
"We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there," Obama said.
A check of the facts shows that Western forces have been killing civilians at a faster rate than the insurgents have been killing civilians.
The U.S. and NATO say they don't have civilian casualty figures, but The Associated Press has been keeping count based on figures from Afghan and international officials. Tracking civilian deaths is a difficult task because they often occur in remote and dangerous areas that are difficult to reach and verify.
As of Aug. 1, the AP count shows that while militants killed 231 civilians in attacks in 2007, Western forces killed 286. Another 20 were killed in crossfire that can't be attributed to one party.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai expressed his concern about the civilian deaths during a meeting last week with President Bush.
Bush said he understands the agony that Afghans feel over the loss of innocent lives and that he is doing everything he can to protect them. He said the Taliban are using civilians as human shields and have no regard for their lives.
"The president rightly expressed his concerns about civilian casualty," Bush said of Karzai. "And I assured him that we share those concerns."
Further, in a July 7, 2007, article [12] on NATO and U.S. airstrikes that reportedly killed more than 100 Afghan civilians, Reuters cited the assessment of military analysts that "a shortage of ground troops means commanders often turn to air power":
President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly called for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the separate U.S. force in Afghanistan to coordinate more closely with his troops to curb a spate of civilian deaths from airstrikes.
But Western unwillingness to accept casualties among their own soldiers and a shortage of ground troops means commanders often turn to air power to beat the Taliban, and that almost inevitably leads to civilians [sic] deaths, military analysts say.
Setting a goal of a world without nuclear weapons
A bipartisan coalition of experts, including former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz [13], former Defense Secretary William J. Perry [14], and former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA) offered a proposal for nuclear arms similar to the position Obama has articulated. In an essay [15] headlined "A World Free of Nuclear Weapons" published in the January 4, 2007, Wall Street Journal, the group noted that "Ronald Reagan called for the abolishment of 'all nuclear weapons,' which he considered to be 'totally irrational, totally inhumane, good for nothing but killing, possibly destructive of life on earth and civilization.' " Further, they wrote:
Reassertion of the vision of a world free of nuclear weapons and practical measures toward achieving that goal would be, and would be perceived as, a bold initiative consistent with America's moral heritage. The effort could have a profoundly positive impact on the security of future generations. Without the bold vision, the actions will not be perceived as fair or urgent. Without the actions, the vision will not be perceived as realistic or possible.
Obama highlighted the proposal by Shultz, Perry, Kissinger, and Nunn in a January 17 press release [16], in which he asserted:
I welcome the renewed call by Sam Nunn, George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, and William Perry to urge the United States to support a world free of nuclear weapons. These four Americans have shown leadership on this issue for many months, and I have embraced this goal throughout my campaign. As I said in a speech on October 2 [2007]: "Here's what I'll say as President: America seeks a world in which there are no nuclear weapons."
Military spending
Hannity's assertion that Obama "could cut military spending, billions of dollars" leaves out a key word in Obama's actual statement. As Media Matters has noted [17], Obama told [18] the group Caucus4Priorities that he would cut "tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending," not overall defense spending in general.
Future Combat Systems
Hannity also asserted that Obama would "slow development of Future Combat Systems." In fact, as Wired blogger Noah Shachtman noted [19], Future Combat Systems is a specific Army program [20] that the McCain campaign has said [1] "should be ended." The McCain campaign budget plan that McCain senior economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin provided to The Washington Post editorial board, published [21] July 14, states:
Balance the budget requires slowing outlay growth to 2.4 percent. The roughly $470 billion dollars (by 2013) in slower spending growth come from reduced deployments abroad ($150 billion; consistent with success in Iraq/Afghanistan that permits deployments to be cut by half -- hopefully more), slower discretionary spending in non-defense and Pentagon procurements ($160 billion; there are lots of procurements -- airborne laser, Globemaster, Future Combat System -- that should be ended and the entire Pentagon budget should be scrubbed) and reductions in mandatory spending ($160 billion) from a mix of excessive agricultural and ethanol subsidies, slower health care cost growth, Medicaid savings from the expansion of private insurance, and other reforms.
From the September 11 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: All right, here's my final question.
DAVIS: -- and we don't need that kind of provocation.
HANNITY: When Barack Obama said that our troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing major problems there, when he said he could cut military spending, billions of dollars, cut investment in unproven missile defense systems, will not weaponize space, slow development of Future Combat Systems, when he said he would rid the world of nuclear weapons, set a goal of doing that, does that sound like a guy that has the experience to be the commander in chief? And do you think it was wrong when he accused our troops of air-raiding villages and killing civilians?
DAVIS: Well, when you quote things, Sean, I have to believe that you're quoting --
HANNITY: I just played it. I just played it earlier in the show.
DAVIS: I don't know -- I don't know the context, so all I can say is that some of those words sound as if they're taken out of context.
HANNITY: I played the quote exactly, and I was reading verbatim. I just played it earlier in the show.
DAVIS: I'm only protecting the both of us that Senator Obama might say they were taken out of context. But, so, I don't know those quotes.
MICHAEL STEELE (Fox News contributor): Hey, Sean. Hey, Sean. Sean, that's called the backstroke, baby. Let's get out of it as quickly as possible.
HANNITY: Yeah. Thank God the music is playing. Lanny wants to get out of here.

BEIJING, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- China says it is firmly opposed to a U.S. Senate amendment on Japan's rights of administration in the Senkaku Islands, claimed both by Tokyo and Beijing.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told reporters, "The Chinese side expresses serious concern and firm opposition to the U.S. Senate's amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act which involves the Diaoyu Island (Senkaku Islands) and its affiliated islets," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
The two Asian neighbors are locked over their respective claims to the Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea, also called Diaoyu Islands in China. Bilateral tensions have escalated since September when Japan, the main Asian ally of the United States, nationalized the islands in September.
The United States has so far not taken a position on the dispute, saying only that it should be settled peacefully.
However, Xinhua reported last Thursday's approval by the U.S. Senate of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act noted Japan has rights of administration over the islands and that "unilateral actions of a third party" would not affect its position.
Hong said the islands and its affiliated islets have always been the inherent territory of China since ancient times and that China has undisputed sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, Xinhua reported.
The report quoted the U.S. Senate measure as saying any armed attack "in the territories under the administration of Japan" would be met under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security.
Hong described the U.S.-Japan treaty a "product of the Cold War era" and that it should not go beyond bilateral scope, nor undermine the interests of a third party.
The spokesman, saying the United States has repeatedly stated that it will not take sides on territory disputes between China and Japan, added that Washington "should not send out signals that conflict with each other" but "do more things that are conducive to peace and stability in the region."
Japan Times said while the unanimously approved U.S. Senate measure is designed to counter attempts by China to challenge Japan's administration of the islands, it sidestepped as to who has ultimate sovereignty over the islands.
The amendment, offered by Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., said the United States opposes any effort to coerce, threaten to use force or use force to resolve territorial issues, the report said. The amendment also reaffirmed U.S. commitment to the defense of territories under the administration of Japan.
"While the United States takes no position on the ultimate sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, the United States acknowledges the administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands," the amendment says. "The unilateral actions of a third party will not affect United States acknowledgement of the administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands."
Senator Webb was quoted as saying that China over the years has taken increasingly aggressive actions to assert its claim over the islands as well as in a broad expanse of the South China Sea.
In an earlier "commentary," Xinhua said the U.S. Senate amendment "will boomerang" as China-Japan ties "plunge to their lowest in decades."
Xinhua said the amendment, which is yet to be approved by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed by President Barack Obama, could "embolden the Japanese rightists to continue defying the international order established after World War II."
The news agency said the amendment will also "impair the much-hyped U.S. pivot to Asia strategy, depriving Washington of the chance to gain advantages achieved by a peaceful and prosperous Asia."
The report said China's determination to defend its "territorial sovereignty should never be underestimated."

Hi Carl,
How are you ? How is your project going ?
As I have mentioned it to you before, I consider your proposed project super ambitious.
How about a less ambitious project ?
At present am working on a personal Vedit Command Glossary file. What I have in my is very simple. I have found the Vedit Maro Language Manual superbly written. Specifically, it is self-contained and so, you do not have to be a computer science person to understand it.
So far, I have found one place where it is not self contained. Specifically, I could not understand the concept of a Mask, describing the parameters of the File_Attribute Command. So, I thought to supply my personal notes on the subject. So, this will be my very first version of my personal Vedit Command Glossary file.
May be you have other parts, where you wish to add you personal comments ? May be we could combine the two files ?
Just a thought. What do you think ?

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup water, the butter and salt. Heat until the butter has melted and the water is boiling.
Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens up and begins to create a dough ball in the center of the pan and the dough is completely pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed, add the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl well after each addition and beating until the bowl feels cool (the mixture should be very smooth and silky).
Transfer the dough to a re-sealable plastic bag and cut about 1/2-inch off one corner. Using this as a piping bag, pipe the mixture into the desired shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 40 minutes.
Cook's Note: These pastries can be made a day or two ahead of time and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. If they feel soggy when you take them out, pop them into a 400 degree F oven for a couple of minutes until they crisp up again. Allow them to cool before filling.

NEW ORLEANS — It was hard to tell what shocked fans more, the NBA's new dunk contest rules or a performance by Vanilla Ice.
Maybe contest organizers should think twice, twice baby.
Washington's John Wall was declared the winner in fan voting Saturday night at the Smoothie King Center … even though he didn't get a chance to compete against fellow champions Paul George and Terrence Ross.
The trio swept head-to-head competitions against counterparts from the Western Conference as part of a "battle round" that left fans and other NBA players fighting mad on social media.
"Wait, what?" tweeted Detroit's Charlie Villanueva.
There seemed to be a consensus that Wall executed the best dunk after he grabbed a ball from Wizards mascot G-Man, brought it down and finished with a two-handed reverse. But many fans tweeted that they wanted the competition to continue.
"I think it was cool," said Wall, who got the idea for his dunk off a YouTube video someone sent him. "It was fun."
Wall defeated Sacramento's Ben McLemore, who staged a grand entrance when he walked onto the court in a lavish robe alongside Kings minority owner Shaquille O'Neal and a squire who proclaimed that the town would now be known as Shaq-Lemore. McLemore then dunked over O'Neal seated on a throne before O'Neal rose to place a crown on his head.
As part of the new format, the competitors performed as teammates in the opening round, often lobbing each other passes. Judges Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins and Magic Johnson unanimously declared the East as winners, which gave them the right to decide whether they would go first or second in the next round.
Just when it seemed things couldn't get any weirder, Vanilla Ice performed between rounds.
Preliminary competitions
After airballing two of his shots in the first round, San Antonio's Marco Belinelli defeated Washington's Bradley Beal, 24-18, in the tiebreaker portion of the three-point competition. Beal had made his final six shots in the final round to force the tiebreaker.
Portland's Damian Lillard teamed with Utah's Trey Burke to win the skills competition by one one-hundredth of a second over Philadelphia's Michael-Carter Williams and Orlando's Victor Oladipo. It was the second consecutive victory for Lillard in the competition, a timed obstacle course relay consisting of dribbling, passing and shooting.
The team of Chris Bosh, Wilkins and Swin Cash defended its title in the Shooting Stars competition that involved making shots from a variety of spots on the court as quickly as possible. Bosh made a pair of half-court shots to lead his team.
Getting older?
New Commissioner Adam Silver said he planned to revisit implementing a 20-year-old minimum age requirement to improve the quality of basketball in the NBA and in college.
"It is my belief that if players have an opportunity to mature as players and as people for a longer amount of time before they come into the league, it will lead to a better league," Silver said in his first All-Star media conference. " … I think it would have the same impact on college as well."
An increased age requirement was discussed but ultimately put aside during the last round of collective bargaining with the players' union in 2011. Silver called the absence of a permanent executive director of the players' union "a hindrance to a certain extent" in addressing issues such as the age limit.
said he would also consider examining modifying the draft lottery, centralizing instant replay in a model similar to the one used by the NHL and increasing the length of the All-Star break by a few days to give players additional rest.
Silver said expansion was not imminent but indicated he would like "a harder system to distribute players better as opposed to the tax system we have in place right now."

For some time now, there has been talk of an upcoming biographical drama surrounding the legendary rock band Queen, though no such film has shown up anywhere on the Hollywood film circuit. Now, however, it looks like fans will finally be able to enjoy a new biopic surrounding the events leading up to and including the band's legendary rebirth at the Live Aid Festival in 1985. The performance was not expected to be anything special: Queen had lost a good deal of momentum by the early 1980s, and the band was just another group of performers scheduled alongside acts like Elton John, The Who, Dire Straights, Phil Collins, and Paul McCartney. But when Queen finally took the stage in-between U2 and David Bowie, the crowd had no idea they were about to witness rock-history in the making.
Lead singer Freddie Mercury, who later died of complications with AIDS, took command of the stage and delivered an awe-inspiring set that even his band mates had never imagined. Through 25 minutes, Mercury jumped from the piano, to the guitar, to front stage with his sawed-off mic-stand, leading the band through a suite of their musical catalogue that included older classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" to recent singles like "Hammer to Fall". It was all backing members Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor could do to try and keep up with Mercury, whose passionate and energetic performance ignited the crowd and which is remembered as the definitive highlight of the Live Aid festival.

Following this morning's announcement that Apple would be returning some of its nearly $100 billion war chest to investors in the form of a dividend and stock buybacks, we finally have the missing bit of context that we've been pining for: Apple's not sweating a few billion here or there, because it sold 3 million new iPads this weekend. That's right: One million iPads a day. Or 2 million iPads on Friday, and none on Saturday, and another million on Sunday. Or…It doesn't matter. Selling 3 million iPads is as unequivocal a message as the public can muster that tablets — whether to supplement PC use, or to replace them completely — are here to stay. And it's also a clear sign that Apple's current policy of incremental upgrades is working; even if the blogosphere was less than overwhelmed by the inclusion of a faster processor, LTE broadband capability, and a higher-quality display, it's now apparent that consumers were more than willing to pay a premium for those new features.
Historic Sales
To put this number in perspective, Apple's iPhone 4S — another device that was viewed by many as a minor upgrade to the iPhone 4 — sold 4 million devices during its launch weekend, according to Beta News, and was largely seen as an overwhelming success. But that number included online pre-orders — actual weekend sales were closer to 3 million.
And the iPad 2, which was a significant upgrade to the original iPad, sold an anemic 1 million units over the course of its first weekend, according to Reuters, all things being equal — although that number may have been substantially higher if the device hadn't sold out. The first iPad, which was a divisive product when first introduced — the late Steve Jobs was initially criticized for trying to fill a usage void that didn't actually exist — sold about 300,000 in its first weekend of sales, taking almost 80 days to reach the 3 million sales mark. As of December 2011, about 55 million iPads had been sold worldwide.
"The new iPad is a blockbuster with three million sold ― the strongest iPad launch yet," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, in a statement Monday evening. "Customers are loving the incredible new features of iPad, including the stunning Retina display, and we can't wait to get it into the hands of even more customers around the world this Friday." It is unclear from Apple's statement if the new iPad's sales numbers include pre-orders as well.
Billion-dollar weekend
By way of comparison, Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet, which retails for $199 and features a smaller 7-inch screen as compared to iPad's nearly 10-inch LCD, is estimated by Bloomberg to have sold between 3-6 million devices during the 2011 holiday season; Amazon has only gone on record stating that "millions" of those tablets had so far been sold. Because of its low price point, the Fire has been heralded by some as the closest thing to a true iPad competitor, and rumors of an as-yet-unconfirmed 7-inch iPad may lend some credence to that notion.
But with a suggested retail price of $499 for an entry-level 16 gigabyte Wi-Fi only model, sales of 3 million iPads should equal revenues of nearly $1.5 billion ― at minimum ― meaning potentially more revenue in a single weekend than Amazon's Kindle Fire has generated since its release. The sales numbers for the previous-generation iPad 2, which got an unexpected price reduction, were not disclosed.
AT&T announced this morning that it had also set records with its iPad sales, although it did not disclose those numbers.
Apple's success with its new tablet may owe in large part to its widespread availability: On Friday, it was in stock in 12 countries, as well as online. On March 23, it will become available in 26 more.

'American Idol' Oklahoma City Auditions Recap: Puppets, Forgotten Lyrics + An Inspirational Kid With Cystic Fibrosis
On tonight's (Jan. 31) episode of Season 12 of 'American Idol,' the show hit Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, the home state and former stompin' grounds of Carrie Underwood, one of the biggest Idols in the show's history. Here's how things shook out in OKC, where puppets, an instance of forgotten lyrics to the national anthem and an inspirational kid with cystic fibrosis left their mark.
Karl Skinner: This 26-year-old ginger kid from Joplin, Missouri auditioned because the bus pulled through his town. Seriously. The show had buses visit small towns to mine for talent tucked in the far corners of the country. He said he'd prove he's got soul. He had a good voice and a rocker's wail when he did 'I Feel Good,' but the footwork was questionable. He strapped on his guitar and came to life and lit up the room. He made it through to the next round.
Nate Tao: The singer, 24, is the son of two deaf parents with a beautiful and melodious voice, which he showed off when he sang Stevie Wonder's 'For Once in My Life' while wearing a white shirt and tie. He was effortless and charming, and he won the entire panel over, as he got a "yes" four times. Oh, how we wish his parents could hear his terrific and well-toned voice.
Halie Hiburn: She is a ventriloquist with Oscar the hand puppet and they dueted on '(I Want to Be) A Cowboy's Sweetheart.' She was super pretty and humorous, but when she yodeled, she lost us. So it was a duet with a puppet and yodeling. Wait, what? She ditched the puppet, the yodeling and the ho-hum gimmick, singing 'More Than Anyone.' Oscar, while cute, held her back. So did the yodeling. She showed she can sing and is going through to the next round. But she almost blew it with all the stupid bells and whistles.
Zoanette Johnson: This confident, room-filling diva wore a color-blocked outfit and sang the national anthem, something she decided she would do if Obama was re-elected. She forgot the lyrics, getting an assist from Mariah Carey, who didn't seem all that amused. But Nicki Minaj was obsessed with her -- that was the actual word the queen of the Barbz used -- and they sent her through, more for her personality and her sass than for her singing ability.
Anastacia Freeman: She cried before she entered the audition room and took off her heels before she sang Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart.' It was really bad, but she believes that God told her to audition after she watched last year's winner Phillip Phillips be crowned. The big G must be tone deaf. During her exit interview, she declared she's done with listening to Carey's music and said she heard Minaj worships the devil so she's glad to be bouncing from the 'Idol' mess.
Kayden Stephenson: This 16-year-old blonde, who has teen idol potential, is suffering from cystic fibrosis. He knows his time is limited so he is making the most of it while he can. He is truly an inspiration and he wasn't just a story that tugged at the heartstrings. He actually can sing, as evidenced by his rendition of Stevie Wonder's 'I Wish.' He was like a mini-Michael Jackson and there was no question as to why he got upstreamed to Hollywood.
The show's coda was a visit from Season 10 and 11 judge Steven Tyler, dressed in drag with a blonde wig and red-painted lips. He faked like he was there to audition but it was obvious that it was Tyler under the hair and makeup. He sure was one ugly woman! Love ya, mean it.

Staff Review
Staff reviews powered by Our TeamThe Pocket Pump should be a staple in any volleyball player's gym bag. Nothing is more frustrating than when you notice the volleyball you are playing with is low on air. This handy device is perfect for airing up volleyballs quickly, saving you time during a game or practice. It is easy to use and is extremely durable.
The Pocket Pump is streamline and small, so it can go wherever you go. It also features an air release valve, giving you a convenient way to let out air if needed. The Pocket Pump, unlike some other ball pumps, is complete with a flexible hose for the needle which helps reduce strain on the ball valve with pumping. This means less broken needles! Using the pocket pump is a quick and easy one-handed operation. This tool gets you back in the game faster.
For volleyball players who want a new volleyball, the Tachikara SV-5WSC Volleyball is extremely popular among our customers. While this ball is durable and well-constructed, you don't need to worry about the price killing your budget. Volleyball players may also find themselves needing a whistle to referee a game. Check out the Fox 40 Classic Colors Whistle! This whistle can be heard above the noise of a crowd and comes in a variety of fun colors.

Be that as it may, I encourage you to read all the comments. Greg has felt compelled to close off comments and I respect his decision. On the other hand, while I hope that such behavior will not migrate to this blog, I still wish to respond to a couple of points raised on his blog. You will see that I had addressed several issues already. If Greg hadn't closed his comments when he did, I would have posted the following. Again, I think that others might be interested in the questions raised, and answers to those questions. So, "Diakonos09". of you happen to find yourself over here on my blog, here's what I wanted to post:
Dear Diakonos09 (#104),
Several points. Your tone suggests that you don't accept Deacon Greg's point that he was quoting me (from my blog) rather than the pope, and that therefore you don't believe that there is papal support for this being an "open theological question." After teaching all day yesterday and preaching four Masses this weekend, the tempting answer out of fatigue is to suggest you read the book, where I review more than a dozen documents and historical events which address your question specifically. But, reason prevailed, and here's a short summary.
Let me highlight both documents and actions.
In terms of documents, both Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II have been influential. In 1976, Paul directed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) to publish "Inter Insigniores", which has an official English title of "Declaration on the Admission of Women to the Ministerial Priesthood." Subsequent teaching, both in papal encyclicals and reflected in secondary teaching documents such as the Catechism, clarifies repeatedly that deacons are NOT part of the ministerial priesthood. In fact, "Inter Insigniores" itself says, "the Catholic Church has never felt that priestly or episcopal ordination can be validly conferred on women." Taking that quotation at its word, notice that it does NOT reference deacons.
In 1994, Pope John Paul II promulgates "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis" which again refers only to ordination to the sacerdotal (priestly) orders of presbyter and bishop -- NOT deacons. Several other documents from this period and up until as late as 2009 further clarify the church's understanding that deacons are NOT included in the "ministerial priesthood" and are NOT included in the teaching of these documents.
Those are just two major documents. But let's consider official ACTIONS, and I will list the major one. Notice the dates of the two documents I listed above. Now, consider that then-Cardinal Ratzinger -- with the approval of the Pope -- assigned the question of ordaining women as deacons (not deaconesses -- they are a separate group) to the International Theological Commission for review as part of their five year term from 1992-1997. Notice that no published report on the question was ever put out by the Commission or the Congregation, although the Pope had during that time promulgated "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis." Since the Commission had not been able to come up with an answer on women deacons, Cardinal Ratzinger assigned it to them AGAIN for their 1997-2002 term. This time, they issued a report, in which they concluded that the question of ordaining women, was something that the Church's "ministry of discernment" might choose to address at some future point; in other words, it remains an open question. Neither Cardinal Ratzinger or Cardinal Levada (who succeeded him at the CDF) has ever acted on that suggestion, although Ratzinger did authorize the public release of that report, and it's available for your study. The fact is, if this question of women deacons were NOT an open question, why would successive popes and prefects of the CDF keep treating it like one, even after they have taken pains to address the question of women priests???!!!!
Finally, a word about being ordained as an icon of Christ. I would never agree with the conclusion that a deacon is not ordained as an icon of Christ the Servant. I wouldn't want to, and as you point out, it's a clear teaching of the Church. But ordination as an icon of Christ need not always be reflected simply in the gender of the ordinand. Can women not be icons of Christ? Mother Theresa comes to mind -- certainly when the poorest of poor encountered her, they encountered the love of Christ, right? And, frankly, to go back to my first points: if this were an issue for the popes and CDF, why didn't they simply say, "Look, we've already addressed this issue in "Inter Insigniores" and in "Ordinatio Sacerdotalis" and it applies to deacons as well as priests." But they didn't do that, even when asked directly about it. Instead, they have consistently put the matter out for further study. That's what we're doing.
Really: I know people will have questions about why we wrote the book, what's in it, and how we come to whatever conclusions we reach in the book. The best way to find answers to those questions, obviously, is to read the book, where we can explain ourselves much better than we can on blogs and Facebook entries. Still, it's a start!

1. Can you find evidence in the readings that indicates any of the men mentioned had witnessed scenes like these?
2. The Civil War was the first war that was extensively recorded by photographers. How might these images have affected the citizens who saw them?
3. What effect would the real views, rather than these photographed views, of the battlefield have had on veteran soldiers, new recruits, and officers in command? How might these images have influenced their readiness to obey orders in future battles, or the strength of their convictions?
4. How might the personal convictions of soldiers influence the outcome of a battle?

'It was a battle and I'm so happy to have won it'
Sabine Lisicki came out on top in a fluctuating three-set Centre Court epic to reach a maiden Grand Slam final as her bludgeoning brutality proved too much for the crafty Agnieszka Radwanska at Wimbledon on Thursday.
The German, who became a household name when she upset Serena Williams in the fourth round, backed up her giant-killing with a gripping test of nerve and she flashed her now familiar smile after securing a 6-4, 2-6, 9-7 victory.
You would not think that the 23rd seed with the walloping serve and firecracker forehands was allergic to grass as it seems the slightest whiff of the All England Club's lawns brings out her spectacular A-game.
She was too tough, both physically and mentally, for fourth seed Radwanska, outlasting the Pole in a lengthy decider and keeping her nerve to set up a Saturday showdown with 15th-seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli.
"It was unbelievable, the last few games were so exciting," Lisicki said after bowing to all four sides of the arena, having delighted the masses following Bartoli's quickfire rout of Kirsten Flipkens.
"Agnieszka played so well, it was a battle and I'm so happy to have won it."

Radwanska provided a fascinating contrast with Lisicki's raw power
Radwanska had pedigree having reached the final last year and her thoughtful approach to the game provided a fascinating contrast with Lisicki's raw power.
The German's cannonball serve initially proved too strong for the Pole, but just as the match appeared to be heading in Lisicki's direction, the Pole used all her skills to reverse the flow.
The Lisicki serve capitulated in the second set and Radwanska worked her around the court, creating angles and forcing errors.
In the end, however, it came down to a test of will and after two hours and 18 minutes, Lisicki prevailed, becoming the first German woman to reach a Grand Slam final since Steffi Graf at Wimbledon in 1999.

Lisicki proved to be a tough nut to crack
It should have come as no surprise that Lisicki was a tough nut to crack because she came back from a career-threatening ankle injury in 2010 which forced her off the tour for five months and sent her tumbling down the rankings.
The 23-year-old, who lost to Maria Sharapova in the 2011 Wimbledon semis, wrapped up the first set in 33 minutes and, brimming with confidence, broke again in the opening game of the second.
The match then turned on its head, however, as Lisicki's concentration faltered and Radwanska started to get a read on her opponent's serve.
She immediately broke back and moved 3-1 ahead and although the German kept going for her shots and was rewarded with another break in the next game, Radwanska had the momentum and took the set.

'I've been dreaming about that since I'm a little girl'
Lisicki's serve, which had been such a weapon early in the match was in disarray. She was broken for the fifth successive time at the start of the third set and trailed 3-0.
That was the position she found herself in against Williams and once again the threat of defeat brought out her best.
She swiftly rediscovered her form, fighting back to level at 3-3 and breaking again to lead 5-4.
She served for the match, but in keeping with what had gone before, she faltered and was broken.
In the pressure-cooker atmosphere of Centre Court, both players diced with danger.
Radwanska saved two break points to hold for a 7-6 lead but was unable to repeat the trick as Lisicki broke decisively in the 15th game when her opponent sent a volley long.
After choking the first time, she kept her cool, ending a dramatic contest with a forehand winner and falling face first onto the turf.
"I've been dreaming about that since I'm a little girl," she said. "That's why I said it's the best place to play my first Grand Slam final. I couldn't imagine any better place.
"I just can't wait to play Saturday."

You stay inside, KB. I just lost a pregnant stray! I don't know if she managed to get out somehow, although I am not sure how, or if she has a super secret hiding spot for having her kittens! I have looked high and low, up and down, back and forth, under things, over things, on things, in things, behind things, have delayered things, uncluttered, recluttered, lifted, moved, lowered, scootched and scooted, rolled and shook, rocked, used a flashlight to look in all the crannies and corners and huffed and puffed and tried to blow the house down! I even mewled like a newborn kitten in distress hoping she would come rescue me, drag me by the scruff of my neck and take me back to "my" littermates. I am so sad....

One little clarification, RG? Is it SUTTR to insult KB?

KB, as RB, "Frankly, RG, I don't give a d-". He would be referring to how the primroses liked the cold. I think they are very nice, but would perhaps also choose to allow them their privacy.

KB looks too sweet and innocent to hurt a little baby tweet tweet (bird). He just doesn't look like a killer. But then again, what DOES a killer look like?
Mama Cat Update:
She IS in the house! Josh saw her, Mr. Bubbles says she was sitting in the dining room this morning when he got up to make coffee. She hissed at him and ran off toward her hidey spot. She is goooood and hidden someplace new. I asked if she still looked pregnant and they both looked at me like I asked them to explain the mysteries of a woman's mind. Rolling my eyes here at the XY chromosome set...

Lady Jane agrees 100% with KB. She looked at me as if I was out of my mind when it was suggested that she go out. She then curled up in the middle of "my" bed to sleep. (We disagree on ownership of the bed.)

Learn how and why dirt affects exposure glass and how to keep it clean.
Until computer-to-screen (CTS) imaging technology becomes prevalent and CTS equipment prices begin falling, the majority of us will continue to rely on the vacuum-frame exposure process when producing stencils for high-resolution printing. Stencil exposure on a vacuum table is a critical step in the prepress workflow, and one that is almost universally neglected. This month, I would like to spend some well-deserved time outlining important factors to be aware of when working with vacuum-frame exposure units. In particular, I would like to focus on issues surrounding the condition and maintenance of the glass exposure surface.
The primary factors we're concerned with in regard to the glass exposure table are its cleanliness and surface condition. Cleanliness is the first and most obvious issue to consider. Only a clean glass surface will allow us to fully expose stencil images without pinholes or other defects. When pinholes occur, we not only risk material waste, we lose production time while we stop the presses to make stencil repairs.
Dirt on the vacuum glass can be a real problem, since there are so many sources of airborne debris and so many ways it can find its way to our exposure units. Making the matter even more difficult is the fact that the constant release of high-intensity UV light from the units facilitates the development of static charges on the glass surface. This static can draw dirt out of the air and onto the glass like a magnet.
Keep it clean for pristine screens
How clean is clean enough for exposure glass? It might sound like a ridiculous question, but judging from the condition of exposure units in hundreds of shops I have visited over the years, it is one that needs to be addressed. The first thing to note is that "clean" is a relative term that depends on the operation to which it is being applied.
I once visited a printing operation that was renowned for screen printing extremely high-resolution halftones (150 lines/in. and up). When I arrived at the plant, I expected to see printers and prepress technicians wearing white lab coats and performing their tasks in sterile, hospital-like conditions. As it turns out, my expectations were contrary to what I found, especially in the screenmaking area.

We've had such an outstanding year for music, I couldn't get down to 10. Albums in the top 5 could have been other years' best record. Without further ado …
12. M. Ward, Hold Time — If anyone's gonna make money from their music playing in Bud Light ads, may as well be someone as distinctly skilled as Ward. His musicianship, offbeat arrangements and voice sounding like an old soft sweater probably deserve a campaign with a better beer. Best song: The beerselling yet ingratiating shuffle of "Never Had Nobody Like You."
11. Dex Romweber Duo, Ruins of Berlin — He doesn't have the voice of when he led Flat Duo Jets, but Dex's rockabilly is way cooler than anything on the radio. He's learn to adjust what he does over the years, but stays true to his musical influences. Best song: "Picture of You," a jaunty yet plaintive rockabilly gem.
10. Madeline, White Flag — A fine example of songwriting in the Southern gothic tradition. Consider her Neko Case's deeper voiced long-lost cousin from the sticks. Best song: "This Train," a folk throwback train song.
9. Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown — I'll admit it. The first time I heard "Longview," I never dreamed the band would be this good and for so long. But this testament to 21st century living, the agony and the ecstasy, is a worthy follow-up to American Idiot. Best song: The most upbeat tune, "Last of the American Girls," where they let their California roots infuse their post-punk ethos.
8. Tegan and Sara, Sainthood — Tegan and Sara albums usually take a while to grow on me, but I'm still not digging this as much as many previous efforts. Plenty of good head-bobbing riffs and make-you-think lyrics though. Best song: "On Directing," a vintage example of their catchy licks and clever songwriting.
7. Good Old War, Good Old War — Better harmonies than even Crosby, Stills and Nash. There, I said it. This group is a revelation, a throwback to a time when honest-to-goodness vocals were more important than studio tricks. Best song: "Tell Me," one of the prettiest songs you'll expect to ever hear.
6. David Gray, Draw the Line — Gray felt his music was getting stale (I'd agree), so he ditched his band and started from scratch. He brings a new energy and outlook, but fortunately his usual vocal prowess remains. Best song: The odd coupling of Gray with Annie Lennox on "Full Steam Ahead," a lot of singing skills on one track.
5. Butterfly Boucher, Scary Fragile — Between this effort and Flutterby, the British songstress has recorded two of the most overlooked albums of the decade. With lyrical, musical and vocal skills, she's got it all, and maybe someday the world will notice. Best song: With its deep-breath introduction, ultracatchy melody line and stop-go-stop setup, "I Found Out" isn't just the best song on this album, I'd give it the nod for Song of the Year.
4. Tragically Hip, We Are the Same — The latest from my favorite band features more great stories marvelously told by Gordon Downie surrounded by solid musicianship. There's a deeper feeling to this release than much of their catalog, and Gordie's vocals seem to get better with age. Best song: "Coffee Girl," which would be a huge hit in some alternative universe.
3. The Damnwells, One Last Century — Track after track of catchy rock tunes wonderfully rendered. And did I mention the band released it as a free download? This mostly unheralded band seems incapable of recording a bad tune. Best song: Kind of a toss-up between gorgeous ballad "Dandelion" and rocker "55 Pictures."
2. Matthew Good, Vancouver — The newest and best of a very impressive catalogue combined the cinematic sweep of Avalanche with some of the intimacy of Hospital Music. The songs are larger than life with the stories running the gamut from war (as always) to small-town frustration to his concerns about what's happening to his hometown of Vancouver. Best song: "Us Becomes Impossible," grammar issues notwithstanding, is a perfect example of the powerful build Good masters.
1. Avett Brothers, I And Love And You — Masterfully written, performed and produced (hat tip to Rick Rubin). The Avetts have always had the ability, but sometimes sloppiness kept this from becoming evident. Here, it's all focused on their ability. Easily the album of the year. Heck, I have it as the #2 song of the decade. Best song: The title track, which will take residence in your head so long you'll have to charge it rent.
There you are. Did I miss anything?

So, yesterday at the first Quantified Self conference, I announced my collaboration with Kyle Machulis, a software and hardware engineer who's building open source libraries for whatever health equipment he can get his hands on. And that includes remote monitoring units used by pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients, eager to access their data.
|Kyle Machulis, of OpenYou.org, presented at The Quantified Self Conference in Mountain View, CA.
|Above, a portion of the OpenYou table at the Quantified Self Conference. A commonly used remote monitoring is seen among a series of gadgets. In the Ziploc bag, an implantable defibrillator.
|A poster announced our collaboration and bold experiment.
The ICD
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is a small, battery-powered electrical impulse generator implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death. The device is programmed to detect a life-threatening arrhythmia and correct it by delivering a jolt of electricity to the heart. It also has the ability to perform biventricular pacing in patients with congestive heart failure or bradycardia (slow heart rhythm).
In addition to providing life-saving therapy, the ICD also collects and stores comprehensive patient, device and physiological data that can indicate progression of the patient's heart disease. Data collected by the ICD is automatically transmitted to a proprietary (and closed) network and made available to authorized physicians via the Internet, thus giving them efficient access to make informed decisions when and where needed.
No access for patients
The main problem with remote monitoring is the fact that it excludes patients from accessing this trove of personal medical data, thus giving them no opportunity to learn from it.
Only time will tell whether or not we will be successful in our experiment. But as Kyle says about the practice of keeping patients from their data: "[It] needs to stop, and we're here to make that happen. It's your data, it's your right to have complete access to it."

Name is Sandy. Older, blonde lady. Used to work at Whole Earth, give you rides to your meetings and listen to you play. Was astonished when one day on our way to your meeting, you recited all the traditions, steps, etc. of the AA creed. It made me realize how hard you had to work, more than most people, to have regain your sobriety. I was very impressed.
I was also saddened when you brought in your court papers about your inheritance and it was clear that you had, indeed, been unfairly cheated.
And even more sad to see the miserable place you were forced to grow up. Those hospitals all over the country were nightmares for the helpless residents.
So you were right all along. You ARE going to be a movie star! And I am thrilled for you and the fine folks who have understood you your very special soul.
P.S. Don't forget to take your bath, wash your clothes and take your meds!
You are way too handsome to be grungy!
J. D. & Sandy

1.Souths hit the ground running
South Sydney looked like a team ready for finals footy already. It is hard to read too much into trial form but Souths looked crisp and, most importantly, cohesive. They looked like a team that were familiar with their systems. And with Greg Inglis fit and firing behind a monster forward pack they look like they will better their preliminary final appearance of last year. For the Dragons, they seemed like a team needing a hit-out, working on combinations. Passes just missed their targets and players were crowding into similar holes with the ball. They weren't too far away and will be much improved before their round-one clash with Melbourne.
2. Slow deal on Beale
Darius Boyd he isn't, yet, but Gerard Beale showed enough to indicate that he has all the attributes to be the Dragons' long-term No.1. The former Bronco was St George Illawarra's highest-profile recruit and he showed glimpses of good touches. While some of his passes went to ground, his ability to catch and pass and become an important link player gives the Dragons a much needed attacking option to ease the pressure on halves Jamie Soward and Nathan Fien. Coach Steve Price has moved Soward back to the left side of the field, where he was instrumental in guiding the Dragons to premiership success in 2010, whereas Fien spent most of the game on the right-hand side. Trent Merrin will fill Dean Young's vacant lock forward position, with the NSW prop playing as a ball-playing option in the middle of the field.
3. Controlling Reynolds is the key
Forget Greg Inglis, Sam Burgess or Issac Luke, halfback Adam Reynolds has emerged as South Sydney's most important player. While Reynolds might not grab the headlines, it is what he does off the ball which makes him so valuable. He is their chief organiser and allows the likes of Inglis and John Sutton to focus on their running game. It's no secret that Sutton and Inglis had career-best seasons last year with Reynolds taking plenty of the attention away from the duo. His deft kicking takes the strain off his big forwards and gives them a handy breather when needed. If he is in-form mid-season and Souths are riding high, he will come into NSW calculations.4. Michael Maguire is ruthless
Just a week after dumping star recruit Ben Te'o to NSW Cup, veteran winger Nathan Merritt was left out of the Charity Shield for not meeting team standards. Coach Maguire has shown he has lofty expectations of his charges and reputations won't matter should they not follow his lead. While Te'o and Merritt were omitted for off-field indiscretions, captain Michael Crocker also felt Maguire's wrath after starting the match from the interchange bench after a poor showing in South Sydney's first trial against Newcastle. Merritt is expected to play for North Sydney on Saturday and may face an extended stint out of the top grade following the strong performance of his replacement Bryson Goodwin.5. Video ref ruling a winner
The on-field referee being forced to make a decision before sending a possible try to the video referee to review will be a winner and reduce endless amounts of replays. The initiative, introduced by new referees' boss Daniel Anderson, came into play when Bryson Goodwin scored the first try in the 10th minute. Controlling referee Adam Devcich indicated a try before sending the ruling to video referees Steve Clark and Luke Patten, who deemed Devcich's decision correct.
