- Rajesh Kumar Chaturvedi appointed CBSE chairperson
NEW DELHI: After taking away HRD's power to appoint chairperson of the Central Board of Secondary Education, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday appointed Rajesh Kumar Chaturvedi as the new CBSE head. CBSE has been without chairperson since December 2014. Chaturvedi is an IAS officer of 1987 batch and belongs to Madhya Pradesh cadre. Chaturvedi has wide-ranging experience in the revenue and commerce departments. However, he has never worked in the education sector. He was appointed after the ACC decided that CBSE chairperson be appointed through central staffing scheme and not through search-cum-selection committee method. Chaturvedi's appointment will finally settle nearly two-year-old controversy on the appointment of CBSE chairperson. Earlier this week, the ACC had rejected the name of Sarvendra Vikram Bahadur Singh for the top job. Singh's name was recommended earlier by the HRD ministry despite the fact that he was last in the panel of three names that included Kamalakanta Biswal of National University of Educational Planning and Administration and Khurram Shahzad Noor, a senior official in the education wing of the Indian Navy. This was the second time that the name of CBSE chairperson recommended by HRD ministry has been rejected by the ACC. In early 2015, a search-cum-selection committee had sent the name of Satbir Bedi, a joint secretary in HRD ministry, as CBSE chairperson. But DoPT had raised several queries. DoPT said that Bedi didn't fulfil the basic qualification of having been education administrator for three years. It was also pointed out that since Bedi handled CBSE in the ministry and was its officiating chairperson, it amounted to conflict of interest. Later, the process was junked and new search-cum-selection committee was formed.

KOCHI: The election to chairperson post in Maradu municipality will be held on June 18. The state election commission has issued notification regarding this on Friday. The chairperson's post had fell vacant following the resignation of UDF's Ajitha Nandakumar last week. On May 18, LDF had sent letter to regional joint direct of urban affairs for moving no-confidence motion against the chairperson. But, Ajitha Nandakumar stepped down without waiting for the floor tests. The UDF chairperson had assumed office on November 18, last year. Now, the LDF has 17 councillors, while the strength of UDF is 16 in the 33 member council. An official with the municipality said, "The state election commission has issued notification regarding the election to chairperson post in the municipality on Friday. The election will be held at 11 am and returning officer will oversee the entire process. We will issue notices to all councillors informing them about the election". Divya Anil Kumar, who contested as independent from Nettoor South will be the candidate of the LDF. UDF will field Molly James or Valsa John, who are seniors in the party in the election. A UDF councillor said, "We may not win the election as we don't have majority. However we will field one of the senior councillors to the post".

Globalstar Introduced what it calls the world's lowest power-consuming satellite network chipset for global M2M solutions.
Today, Globalstar Inc. launched the STX3 simplex satellite global transmitter, featuring the lowest power-consuming technology currently on the market. This makes the STX3 a key requirement for customers whose monitoring devices are dispersed in remote and harsh environments.
Globalstar engineers have shrunk the chip technology to be a third of the size of its predecessor, the widely-deployed STX2. About the size of a quarter, and with low-cost and low-power, the STX3 is designed to be easily integrated into a broad range of M2M devices and applications for cost-effective remote sensing, tracking and monitoring of items as diverse as sheep, ships and meters.
These attributes also make the STX3 ideal for hybrid GPRS/GSM-based M2M tracking or monitoring devices to provide a cost-effective, satellite-based backup communications solution for areas where mobile network reception is either patchy or non-existent.
Ovinto, an M2M telematics specialist based in Belgium, is one VAR who has been testing the STX3 chipset. "We have been using the STX2 for many years as it meets our stringent requirements for reliability in even the harshest of environments including contact with explosive materials," said Frederick Ronse, Founder and CEO of Ovinto. "We have been testing the STX3 and see great potential in using this new technology, particularly its very long battery life. Our customers want to use Ovinto Sat with the reassurance that they can go years without having to replace device batteries in wagons and containers across Europe."
Mobiltex Data Ltd., of Calgary, Alberta, was the first company to design a product specifically around the STX3. Engineering Manager Tony da Costa praised the product saying, "The small size of the Globalstar STX3 transmitter module was a crucial factor that allowed Mobiltex to design a unique miniature remote pipeline monitoring product that could be mounted inside existing space-constrained enclosures. Coupled with the excellent Globalstar Simplex coverage footprint, low recurring monthly service costs, and low transmitter power requirements, the decision to use Globalstar for this product was an easy one."
The STX3 module sends one-way data messages via the Globalstar Simplex Network when integrated into a tracking or monitoring device. The module is easily integrated into devices for fixed and mobile asset management, remote sensing, data reporting and data logging applications over a near-global network. Use cases include: dual device tracking (GSM/Satellite), animal tracking, pipeline management, fleet management (marine and vehicular) and many other M2M applications with size constraints.
"We see a huge opportunity for VARs and OEMs to incorporate the STX3 chipset into compact and efficient communications devices targeted at a wide and fast-growing range of vertical markets," said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar. "With its unrivalled low power consumption and small size, this chipset has the potential to accelerate the adoption of satellite-based M2M – both satellite-only solutions and hybrid cellular/satellite offerings."

This Friday will mark the beginning of Major League Baseball's annual period for signing amateur talent. It is open season for teams to sign players from Latin America, Asia and Europe who are over the age of 16.
Some will become diamonds in the rough, signed to what amounts to petty cash lining the pockets of big league clubs who go on to become standout big-leaguers. Others will become colossal busts, signed for six- and even seven-figure deals that yield almost no return.
The process remains an incredibly challenging one on any number of levels. Teams must project how 16-year-olds – players who would be sophomores in high school if they resided in the U.S., in many instances – will mature, and what their incredibly raw skill sets will evolve into over the next seven to 10 years.
That task is complicated significantly by the tremendous amounts of misinformation, especially as it relates to age. There is a long and infamous history of players falsifying their ages to convince teams that they are younger than their actual date of birth in order to make themselves more attractive talents.
But until about a decade ago, there were also many cases of teams doctoring the birth dates of players who had not yet turned 16 so that they could sign them before they became hot commodities. That practice thrived until the 1990s, when current Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre helped to transform how teams dealt with young Latin American players.
It all started in spring training in 1999. Beltre had spent the last half of 1998 in the big leagues with the Dodgers. Though he had hit just .215 with a .648 OPS and seven homers in 77 games in '98, it was an extraordinary performance considering the player's youth. But the baseball world was about to find out just how young Beltre was as a result of a lunch conversation between the third baseman and his agent, Scott Boras.
"He was saying how lucky I was to be playing in the big leagues at the age of 20. I said, 'No, 19,' and my English wasn't that good back then," Beltre recalled. "He looked at me like I didn't know what he was talking about, and he went back and said, 'There's not many third basemen at the age of 20 in the big leagues." And I go, 'No, 19.' He goes, 'What're you talking about?'"
The Dodgers had listed Beltre's date of birth at the time that he signed in the summer of 1994 (for a bonus of approximately $23,000) as April 7, 1978, a date that would have made him 16 and eligible to sign during that July 2 period. But Beltre told his agent that he was actually one year younger than that, having been born on April 7, 1979, something that he demonstrated by showing Boras his passport.
Beltre says that he was unaware of the act of chicanery, or its prospective significance, at the time that he signed. He was a teenager who wanted to play professional baseball. The idea that he was not yet eligible to sign with the Dodgers was one that was unfamiliar to him.
"I didn't know the rules back then," said Beltre. "I was ignorant back then. I didn't know you couldn't sign at 15."
He thought nothing of the date of birth issue while racing through the Dodgers farm system and arriving in the big leagues less than four years after signing with the club. Even after the spring training conversation with Boras, Beltre remained relatively unconcerned about the age issue. Boras, however, glimpsed a world of possibility for his client.
"I didn't really care," said Beltre. "[Boras] goes, 'Do you want to get your age correct?' I said, 'Sure,' but I told him I don't want to make a big deal out of it because my dream is to play in the big leagues, and I don't want to do anything to mess that up. So don't do anything crazy.
"He goes, 'No. We're just going to go to the team and say, 'You guys did this. He's actually this age,' because it might help you. You might get rewarded what you should be getting if you were a free agent back then and a free agent now.'"
Boras brought the matter to the attention of the Dodgers front office, which, Beltre recalled, bristled at the revelation. The team suggested that Beltre had been the one who altered his date of birth in order to sign when he was too young, and that the organization – much like Captain Renault of "Casablanca" – was "shocked, shocked!" by the revelation.
That led to Beltre and Boras submitting a claim to Major League Baseball that the player's age had been falsified so that the Dodgers could sign him early. Following the year, MLB investigated a matter that was all the more sensitive because the Dodgers had already been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
In mid-1999, the Dodgers were penalized for illegally scouting a pair of underage players in Cuba, helping them relocate to the Dominican Republic and then falsifying their birth dates to sign them. So, the Beltre investigation – which took place after the 1999 season – was a significant one.
That winter, MLB officials went to the Dominican to talk to Beltre's parents and to investigate documents to determine the player's actual date of birth when he signed, and to figure out whether the Dodgers were involved – either solely, or with the player's involvement – in age falsification.
"They found out that everything I said was true. When they found out that I was really 19 -- 15 when I signed, claiming that I was 16 -- everything went from that," said Beltre. "So this guy in the [Dodgers Dominican academy] said 'OK, I did it.' They found out everything. They saw the whiteout, where they put the different date of birth."
A few strokes of whiteout, overlaid with the birth date of April 7, 1978, served as a smoking gun. The Dodgers had knowingly signed a player who was not yet 16. Even though MLB said that the player was complicit in the falsified information (pointing to such documents as a U.S. driver's license in which Beltre had used the 1978 birth date), the Commissioner's Office dropped the hammer on Los Angeles.
The Dodgers were fined $50,000 and ordered to pay Beltre $48,500 ($33,000 of additional bonus money, plus interest). More severely, the Dodgers were prohibited from scouting or signing amateurs in the Dominican for a year, and they were forced to close their Dominican baseball academy for a year, forcing them to place their players temporarily with other clubs. A pair of key Dodgers officials in the Dominican – Ralph Avila and Pablo Peguero – were suspended for a year.
MLB did not declare Beltre a free agent because of its claim that he was involved in the decision to alter his date of birth. The MLB Players' Association, however, filed a grievance on behalf of Beltre seeking a remedy that other players had been rewarded after it was revealed that clubs had signed them when they were underage.
Before the grievance hearing occurred, the Dodgers -- fretful of losing a potential superstar to free agency, following a year when, as a 20-year-old, he had hit .275 with a .352 OBP, .428 slugging mark, .780 OPS and 15 homers -- signed Beltre to a three-year, $5.05 million deal in March 2000.
"I had the right to be a free agent if I wanted to, but I chose not to," said Beltre. "I was happy in L.A."
Beltre remained with the Dodgers, but his case contributed to the intensification of Major League Baseball's efforts to combat age and identity fraud in its Dominican office.
Even as MLB continues to augment its efforts to crack down on those activities, that ambition remains a work in progress. Many talent evaluators still characterize Latin America, particularly the Dominican, as the "Wild West" of scouting, a place that is nearly impossible to police.
Yet since Beltre, age forging has been mostly an act committed by players and the buscones who guide them to clubs. Clubs, on the other hand, no longer feature whiteout as one of the staples of their international baseball operations.

The next step in much-needed funding improvements for Auckland's public transport system has been given the go-ahead.
Plans for a south eastern busway between Panmure and Pakuranga have been approved for development.
The plans will cost more than $20m with the New Zealand Transport Agency subsidising $11m of that.
The project is part of the Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) which has a total cost of $1.3b.Construction could begin in 2017 subject to a raft of approvals and consents going through.
Auckland Transport Chairman Lester Levy said Panmure Station and a new road, due to open soon, were just the start of major transport improvements for the area.
"With the first stage in Panmure almost complete and delivering benefits already, we're looking forward to the next stage. This funding will allow us to further develop the design of the busway and other major transport projects."
Levy admitted public transport in Auckland was currently a "poor option" with buses getting caught up in the same congestion as cars.
"Large numbers of passengers are expected to be attracted by quicker, frequent and more reliable buses on lanes separate to traffic."
He said with the new project finished, buses could take about 27 minutes between Pakuranga and Britomart and would run every five to 10 minutes.
NZTA regional manager of planning and investment Peter Casey said Auckland projects were a high priority for the agency.
Mr Casey said the NZTA would contribute just over a 50 per cent share of the total cost of AMETI - funding which comes from the excise duty on fuel, road user charges and vehicle registration fees.
The busway will be the next stage after the current work in Panmure, which included the new Panmure Station and a new link road between Mt Wellington Highway and Morrin Rd.
The Panmure to Pakuranga projects include replacing Panmure roundabout with traffic lights, a Panmure to Pakuranga busway on lanes separate to traffic congestion, Panmure to Pakuranga shared cycle/foot path separate to traffic and a direct connection from Pakuranga Rd to Pakuranga Highway via Reeves Rd.

PHILADELPHIA -- Injured Montreal Canadiens forward Tom Pyatt did not play in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Pyatt, one of the team's top penalty killers, suffered what the team called an "upper body" injury in Game 4 in Montreal. He played 10:45 in Saturday's 3-0 loss, which gave the Flyers a 3-1 series lead and a chance to clinch a trip to the Stanley Cup finals on Monday night.
Pyatt did not skate Monday morning in Philadelphia and teammate Mathieu Darche was told he would be playing.
Pyatt, a throw-in in the deal that brought Scott Gomez to Montreal last summer, has been a pleasant surprise for the Canadiens this spring. He has two goals and two assists in this year's playoffs, including a game-winning goal, and has averaged 13:02 in ice time.

Non-Sale-of-Cubs Stories Rapidly Gaining on Non-Acquisition-of-Brian-Roberts Stories
With all of the excitement—and by excitment, I mean disgust—over the likely Cubs signing of Jim Edmonds, there wasn't an opening here yesterday to note the snag in efforts to peddle Wrigley Field to the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority.
The Sun-Times reported Tuesday morning that the state agency and Tribune Company owner Sam Zell had failed to reach an agreement because the state's offer relied...
...on a novel and untested financing plan: the sale of
individual seats at Wrigley as if they were condominiums. The idea is
called equity seat rights and has been advanced by Chicago area
business executive Lou Weisbach, who has applied for patent rights on
Zell, Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney and their advisers have concluded
that the equity plan and its tax ramifications would violate both the
Internal Revenue Service code and the rules of Major League Baseball...sources said.
Very late Tuesday night, however, the Tribune reported that the ISFA and Zell will continue their negotiations and that "sources said...the media conglomerate is privately
indicating it might hold off selling the ballclub if the inevitable
need for costly repairs at the antiquated ballpark significantly
discounts the bids it fields for the team."
Tribune Company is due to begin paying down its debt with the banks on December 4th, when a $650 million payment will be required. At one point, it was thought this might ensure the sale of Wrigley Field and the Cubs before the end of 2008. But Zell's recent agreement to sell Newsday, a deal that will net Tribune Company about $630 million in cash, gives the foul-mouthed billionaire the latitude to take his time negotiating the sale of the ballpark and the team.

Re: Edmonds Acquisition
The SunTimes' GREG COUCH just officially consigned FELIX PIE to the Cubs' pile of flopped top prospects.
Re: Edmonds Acquisition
that's kinda like bill o'reilly calling something liberal.
when's couch not tearing something down or declaring things finalized?
decent article, but littered with his usual extreme writing and some "what-if's" that are declared stone cold realities.
seems he writes a "oops, i screwed up when i said earlier..." article for every handful of rants he goes off on.
This centerfield thing is getting ridiculous. Thirty five years since we had Monday out there and we still haven't found a good one. One year of Dernier being decent, one year of Walton being decent and that's it.
I think in 85 or 86 we had Dave Lopes in center for awhile, when he was 72. One year even Leon Durham got a few chances there. I think that was 82 or 83. I guess Lofton was good for half a season. Other than that, nothing.
Maybe we can bring back Mitch Webster.
Re: Centerfield
Patterson was good for half a season (before his injury).
.298 / .329 / .511
Re: Centerfield
What, you didn't get enough stability from Jerry Morales and Jerry Martin?
Sosa was acquired with the intent to start him in CF and he gave us a full season at CF I believe. And then pushed to a corner OF slot by Tuffy Rhodes.
Re: Centerfield
Didn't Morales play more leftfield than center? I was thinking he was around at the same time as Monday, at least the first time he was here.
Patterson was good for half a year and Lofton for the other half. One good year in center between the two of them anyway.
Re: Centerfield
We had the same problem finding someone for 3B since Santo and we finally got ARam. I'm confident we'll work out CF before long.
Please, no more Edmonds
For the love of Harry Caray, somebody please change that "Featured Post" picture... I wanna head butt my monitor every time I see it.

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

An optical modulator in silicon based on a diode structure has been operated in both forward and reverse bias. This modulator achieves near state-of-the-art performance in both modes, thereby making this device ideal for comparing the two modes of operation. In reverse bias, the device has a V¿L of 4.0 V·cm and a bandwidth of 26 GHz. In forward bias, the device is very sensitive, a V¿L as low as 0.0025 V·cm has been achieved, but the bandwidth is only 100 MHz. A new geometry for a reverse-bias device is proposed, and it is predicted to achieve a V¿L of 0.5 V·cm.

- Noted sociologist passes away in Kolkata
KOLKATA: Eminent scientist and sociologist Ramkrishna Mukherjee passed away in Kolkata on Sunday, at the age of 98. He was an advisor at Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) and adjunct professor of Sociology at State University of New York, Binghamton. His research interests included genetics, historical sociology, social classification, problems of acculturation and social indicators. After obtaining his PhD from Cambridge in 1948, he was chief research officer to His Majesty's Social Survey, London, consultants, Government of Turkey and London School of Economics, guest Professor of Indian Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin and research professor at the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, until 1979. His experience included studies on India, Bangladesh, France, Germany, Sweden, UK, Czechoslovakia, Turkey, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda. With over a hundred research papers in internationally reputed journals, Mukherjee was member of Indian Council of Social Science Research and Executive Committee of the International Sociological Association, president, Indian Sociological Society and an advisor to institutions and journals. At ISI, he emphasized agrarian class structure, class relations and agrarian social change through large scale sample surveys. Through his work, the theme of agrarian social structure the change re-appeared in Indian sociology only after a gap of nearly two decades in the late 1960s and the 1970s. His The Rise and Fall of the East Indian Company (1958) is a landmark contribution to South Asian economic and social history. His last publication, The Measure of Time in the Appraisal of Social Reality (2009) was a scathing critique of the return of caste based politics in India with the implementation of the Mandal Commission report. Mukherjee started life as a geneticist, loved classical music and played the sarod. Sociologist Mukul Dube said, "While primarily known as a sociologist, Mukherjee had done many other things in the course of his life. His first major work was to do with the Bengal Famine of 1943. He left the Communist Party of India for personal reasons, although he never lost his commitment to the Left. He once told me that his job title was "computer" i.e. one who calculates and computes. It is little known that he was a competent photographer who, at least in his younger days, even earned money from photography. From my experience I can say that he liked good brandy, good cooking, and (not least) babies" Mukherjee started life as a geneticist, loved classical music and played the sarod.

Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has tipped Lionel Messi to return from injury "like a bull" as he prepares to resume training.
The Argentina star has been recovering from a hamstring injury in his homeland and has not featured for the Catalan club since a 4-1 victory over Real Betis on November 10.
However, Barca confirmed Messi's return to training on Thursday, and hopes will be raised that he will be available to play some part in Sunday's Liga clash with Elche, with Fabregas expecting the attacker to come out fighting.
"He definitely needed to rest physically because he had already suffered this (injury) and there was no other option than to stop playing," Fabregas told Marca.
"He had four or five injuries in a row in a muscle that he uses a lot in accelerating from a standstill, which is what sets him apart.
"He had to stop no matter what and he'll be like a bull when he is back."
Messi's absence has increased the pressure on the performances of Neymar, but Fabregas feels the 21-year-old is finding his feet at the club.
"Scoring is all about streaks," he continued. "Right now the goals are going in for Neymar and that will give him a bit more confidence, stability and composure in the penalty area.
"As time passes his importance to the team will increase. He is 21 and he will develop from game to game.
"The confidence will make him a better player."

Report produced by Asociación Latinoamericana de Educación Radiofónica (ALER) on the first day of the agrarian strike in Colombia.
A national agrarian strike began on Monday in Colombia to demand government action in response to the "terrible crisis" in agriculture and cattle production that is affecting the whole rural sector in the country.
The situation in the countryside is especially bad as a result of the neoliberal policies implemented in the 80s and the Free Trade Agreements signed by recent Colombian governments, which have left national production at a disadvantage.
Cesar Jerez, member of the National Association of Peasant Reserves said "we demand land property for the peasants, especially for the peasant areas comprised under Law 160, which have been illegally vetoed by the Ministry of Defense".
Jerez also mentioned that the government is demanding the actual participation of the traditional mining communities in developing the mining policy. "This sector has suffered severe repression under recent Colombian governments".
Another demand is to ensure the political rights of peasants, indigenous and African-descendants. "These are social sectors and organizations that are being constantly targeted by the government and which are constantly at risk. There are nearly 7,000 political prisoners in Colombia", he said.
The national agrarian strike is a response to the government's historical abandonment of a sector that is still responsible for 70% of the food production that is consumed in the country.
Jeréz said that after the strike began today there have been road blocks and a strong military deployment in some highways such as Panamericana, which links the southwest of the country with Ecuador. Over a million Colombians rely on that highway since the early morning hours.
After the beginning of the strike there were reports of peasants arrests. The protest has had massive popular support.

Prosecutors pushed to restrict details on what they called a deadly X-ray weapon, as its alleged inventor faces trial, the Schenectady Daily Gazette reports.
Federal prosecutors in New York urged a judge to place the weapon's design under seal, limiting the crucial details to participants in the trial of 49-year-old Glendon Scott Crawford, the newspaper reported on Thursday. The move may even restrict discussion of the weapon in court hearings, though some specialists have questioned the feasibility of the mobile gun said to be capable of poisoning victims with radiation rays.
"Limiting dissemination of details of the weaponized, mobilized and remotely controlled radiation-emitting device designed to kill or seriously injure unsuspecting human targets … has underlying reasons that are readily apparent — protecting public safety and reducing the likelihood of similar attempts by others," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a motion filed with U.S. District Court Judge Gary Sharpe.
Crawford's trial is scheduled to begin on April 29. An FBI sting netted the possible Ku Klux Klan member, who allegedly drafted a design and gathered components for a weapon believed capable of harming and possibly killing its targets.
Some observers, though, voiced skepticism about the usefulness of a gun they said would have huge power requirements and a weight capable of smashing automobiles. In addition, defense lawyers have contended that neither Crawford nor Eric Feight, an alleged co-conspirator, had the expert knowledge necessary to create a viable X-ray gun.
Crawford faces charges of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to produce and use a radiological dispersal device, and distributing WMD information. Feight pleaded guilty in January and could receive up to 15 years prison time in his May 22 sentencing.

Hillary Clinton hopes that television ratings for the candidates' acceptance speeches at their respective conventions aren't foreshadowing of similar results at the polls in November. Preliminary results from the networks and cable channels show that 34.9 million people tuned in for Donald Trump's acceptance speech while 33.3 million watched Clinton accept the Democratic nomination. However, it is still possible that the numbers are closer than these ratings suggest: the numbers don't include ratings from PBS or CSPAN, which tend to attract more Democratic viewers.

DNV gathered before and after operational-performance data which indicate that redesigning the bulbous bow of slow-steaming container ships can produce fuel savings of 5% or above. These "nose jobs" can have a payback time of less than a year, DNV said.
Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) operates a series of 8,600 TEU container vessels which were designed and built for high speed. These vessels are actually able to operate at 27 knots. However, today the vessels are "slow steaming", operating in the range of 15 to 18 knots. At these speeds, the existing bulb is not efficient.
To quantify the possible savings potential, DNV carried out a comprehensive study to develop a new bulbous bow shape optimized for the expected trading conditions. A cost-benefit assessment was conducted based on the estimated savings and this created the basis for HMM to go ahead with a conversion.
Based on input from DNV, Daewoo Ship Engineering Company (DSEC) carried out the structural design work. The conversion of the first vessel, the Hyundai Brave, was completed in March 2013.
Onboard measurements have shown that the $680,000 modification has reduced fuel consumption by almost 1,000 tons per year.
"The performance of the new bulbous has carefully been evaluated as part of verification over about 2 months period after delivery and fuel saving in operation so far has been found to be around 5% or above. The payback period is expected to be much shorter than the 1 year originally estimated," said Taeg-Gyu Lee executive vice president of HMM.
"Close cooperation between DNV, the structural designer and the yard ensured the timely execution of the design and installation work," said Jost Bergmann, DNV's Business Director for Container Ships. "Improvements in fuel economy have now been demonstrated in loaded, light and full capacity operations."
The project, starting with the initial planning phase, was completed in 14 weeks and, with pre-fabrication, the yard erection work was completed in only two weeks during the vessel's regular docking cycle.
DNV developed a series of potential bulb shapes, made to suit the new operating profile of the Hyundai Brave, that where all tested by use of computational fluid dynamics. The new bulb does not add to the vessel's overall length and is five tons lighter than the original.
DNV said it is confident that the recorded success of this project will assist other owners looking to improve the competitiveness of older vessels.
"Existing ships have to compete with a new breed of efficient and flexible designs," Mr. Bergmann said. "One result of the high design speed of many existing container ships is that the bulb is highly tuned to reach the maximum speed. The new reality for much of the existing fleet is that this affects efficiency at lower speeds. DNV's bulb optimization service now has hard data to demonstrate."
