I've had a sense for a while that infrastructure-as-a-service (like Amazon Web Services) and platform-as-a-service (like Heroku) are converging.

One sign of this convergence is Pagoda Box, a PaaS that provides a deeper level of control over infrastructure while still abstracting away all the hard stuff. Read More ›

Ukraine president calls for new anti-rebel offensive as crisis deal falters
KIEV/MOSCOW (Reuters) – Ukraine's acting president Oleksander Turchinov called on Tuesday for government forces to relaunch an offensive against pro-Russian rebels after a local politician from his own party was found dead with signs of torture.
Kiev's first push failed last week to retake one of the towns in the mainly Russian-speaking east occupied by the separatists, and its military has largely suspended operations since the United States, Russia, Ukraine and European Union signed a deal in Geneva last week intended to calm the crisis.
Crimea Tatars say leader banned by Russia from returning
KIEV (Reuters) – Crimea's Tatar community assembly accused Russia on Tuesday of barring its leading political figure from returning to the peninsula following its annexation by Moscow.
However, Russian officials declined comment and it was unclear whether Moscow had taken issued the banning order.

Illness & Conditions - Special Health Issues
Topic Contents
Describes heart failure (congestive heart failure). Discusses common causes like hypertension and coronary artery disease. Has info on symptoms. Covers diagnostic tests and treatments. Discusses heart failure classification system and stages of CHF.
Heart Failure
Topic Overview
What is heart failure?
Heart failure means that your heart muscle doesn't pump as much blood as your body needs. Failure doesn't mean that your heart has stopped. It means that your heart is not pumping as well as it should.
Because your heart cannot pump well, your body tries to make up for it. To do this:
Your body has an amazing ability to make up for heart failure. It may do such a good job that you don't know you have a disease. But at some point, your heart and body will no longer be able to keep up. Then fluid starts to build up in your body, and you have symptoms like feeling weak and out of breath.
This fluid buildup is called congestion. It's why some doctors call the disease congestive heart failure.
Heart failure usually gets worse over time. But treatment can slow the disease and help you feel better and live longer.
What causes heart failure?
Anything that damages your heart or affects how well it pumps can lead to heart failure. Common causes of heart failure are:
Other conditions that can lead to heart failure include:
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of heart failure start to happen when your heart cannot pump enough blood to the rest of your body. In the early stages, you may:
As heart failure gets worse, fluid starts to build up in your lungs and other parts of your body. This may cause you to:
If your symptoms suddenly get worse, you will need emergency care.
How is heart failure diagnosed?
Your doctor may diagnose heart failure based on your symptoms and a physical exam. But you will need tests to find the cause and type of heart failure so that you can get the right treatment. These tests may include:
An echocardiogram is the best and simplest way to find out if you have heart failure, what type it is, and what is causing it. Your doctor can also use it to see if your heart failure is getting worse.
This test can measure how much blood your heart pumps to your body. This measurement is called the ejection fraction . If your ejection fraction gets lower and you are having more symptoms, it means that your heart failure is getting worse.
How is it treated?
Most people with heart failure need to take several medicines. Your doctor may prescribe medicines to:
It is very important to take your medicines exactly as your doctor tells you to. If you don't, your heart failure could get worse.
Pacemaker or defibrillator
You might need to have a pacemaker or a defibrillator (ICD) if you have a problem with your heart rhythm. A pacemaker can help your heart pump blood better. An ICD can prevent a dangerous heart-rhythm problem.
Care at home
Lifestyle changes are an important part of treatment. They can help slow down heart failure. They may also help control other diseases that make heart failure worse, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary artery disease.
The best steps you can take are to:
Ask your doctor if cardiac rehab is right for you. Rehab can give you education and support that help you learn self-care and build new healthy habits, such as exercise and healthy eating.
To stay as healthy as possible, work closely with your doctor. Have all your tests, and go to all your appointments. It is also important to:
What can you expect if you have heart failure?
Medicines and lifestyle changes can slow or even reverse heart failure for some people. But heart failure often gets worse over time.
Early on, your symptoms may not be too bad. As heart failure gets worse, you may need to limit your activities. Treatment can often help reduce symptoms, but it usually doesn't get rid of them.
Heart failure can also lead to other health problems. These may include:
Your doctor may be able to give you medicine or other treatment to prevent or treat these problems.
Heart failure can get worse suddenly. If this happens, you will need emergency care. To prevent sudden heart failure , you need to avoid things that can trigger it. These include eating too much salt, missing a dose of your medicine, and exercising too hard.
Knowing that your health may get worse can be hard. It is normal to sometimes feel sad or hopeless. But if these feelings last, talk to your doctor. Antidepressant medicines, counseling, or both may help you cope.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Heart failure can be caused by any problem that damages your heart or affects how well it works.
Problems that damage the heart muscle
Things that damage the heart's valves
Problems with the heart's electrical system
Other problems
Certain triggers, such as too much sodium or not taking medicines the right way, may suddenly make heart failure worse. This can sometimes cause deadly problems such as pulmonary edema or cardiogenic shock .
At first you may not have any symptoms from heart failure. For a while, your heart and body can make up for heart failure. For example, your heart can pump faster and pump more blood with each beat. This is called compensation.
But as your heart has more trouble pumping enough blood to your body, you will likely have symptoms. These symptoms may get worse or change if your heart failure gets worse.
Symptoms of heart failure start to happen when your heart can't pump enough blood to the rest of your body. In the early stages, you may:
As heart failure gets worse, fluid starts to build up in your lungs and other parts of your body. This may cause you to:
How doctors talk about heart failure
Heart failure is grouped—or classified—according to symptoms. Your treatment is based partly on what class of symptoms you have.
There's also another way to define heart failure. It's based on the stages you might go through as your heart failure gets worse. Your doctor also may make treatment choices based on your stage of heart failure.
Symptoms of sudden heart failure
Sometimes your symptoms may get worse very quickly. This is called sudden heart failure. It causes fluid to build up in your lungs, causing congestion. (This is why the problem is often called congestive heart failure.) Symptoms may include:
Sudden heart failure is an emergency. You need care right away.
More information
What Increases Your Risk
Your risk for having heart failure is higher if you have certain risk factors. A risk factor is anything that increases your chance of having a particular problem.
Heart failure is usually caused by another health problem, often coronary artery disease or high blood pressure. So anything that increases your risk for one of those problems also increases your risk for heart failure.
The risk of heart failure rises as a person gets older.
When to Call a Doctor
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have a pacemaker or ICD and think you have an infection near the device. Signs of an infection include:
Call your doctor soon if you have symptoms of heart failure , which include:
Call your doctor soon if:
Who to see
Many different types of doctors and nurses can treat you for heart failure, including your family doctor.
Exams and Tests
Heart failure is a complex problem. So you will likely have several different tests over time. These tests can:
If you have symptoms that suggest heart failure, you may have:
An echocardiogram is the best and simplest way to diagnose heart failure. It also can help guide treatment.
Sometimes, because of a person's weight, breast size, or severe lung disease, an echocardiogram might not be accurate. If that happens, a cardiac blood pool scan may be done instead. It checks how well the left ventricle is pumping. But it's not as good at finding heart valve disease and a thick heart muscle.
Tests also may be done to find areas of the heart that are not getting enough blood. These tests include:
When you're taking medicine for heart failure, you may have regular blood tests to check how the medicine is working.
More information
Treatment Overview
Your treatment for heart failure depends on:
In the early stages of heart failure, treatment can help your symptoms. It may also prevent more damage to your heart. Treatment may include:
As part of your ongoing treatment, your doctor will also try to prevent or treat problems—such as fever, arrhythmia , and anemia —that can lead to sudden heart failure . Treatment may include:
You might take part in a disease management program. These programs include a broad range of services, such as education, home health care, visiting nurses, and rehabilitation.
A very small number of people may have other treatments, including:
Treatment for causes of heart failure
If you have other heart problems that may have led to heart failure, you might have treatment for those problems:
Sometimes heart failure can be fixed if another problem can be corrected, such as by treating hyperthyroidism .
Palliative care
Palliative care is a kind of care for people who have a serious illness. It's different from care to cure your illness. Its goal is to improve your quality of life—not just in your body but also in your mind and spirit.
You can have this care along with treatment to cure your illness. You can also have it if treatment to cure your illness no longer seems like a good choice.
Palliative care providers will work to help control pain or side effects. They may help you decide what treatment you want or don't want. And they can help your loved ones understand how to support you.
If you're interested in palliative care, talk to your doctor.
For more information, see the topic Palliative Care.
End-of-life care
Heart failure tends to get worse over time. So you need to decide what kind of care you want at the end of your life.
It can be hard to have talks with your doctor and family about the end of your life. But making these decisions now may bring you and your family peace of mind. Your family won't have to wonder what you want. And you can spend your time focusing on your relationships.
You will need to decide if you want life-support measures if your health gets very bad. An advance directive is a legal document that tells doctors how to care for you at the end of your life. This care includes electronic devices that are used for heart failure, such as pacemakers. You also can say where you want to have care. And you can name someone who can make sure your wishes are followed.
For more information, see the topic Care at the End of Life.
The best way to prevent heart failure is to have a heart-healthy lifestyle and control existing health problems like high blood pressure and diabetes.
To reduce your risk:
Living With Heart Failure
You can feel better when you have heart failure by taking your medicines as directed, having a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding things that make heart failure worse. Know what things you can do every day to stay healthy, what symptoms to watch for, and when to call a doctor.
Ask your doctor if cardiac rehab is right for you. Rehab can give you education and support that help you learn self-care and build new healthy habits, such as exercise and healthy eating.
Taking medicines
Having a healthy lifestyle
Avoiding things that make heart failure worse
Avoid triggers, such as too much salt (sodium) and certain medicines, that can cause sudden heart failure.
Treating your sleep problems
Many people with heart failure have trouble sleeping. Your doctor may be able to find out what is causing your sleep problems and help you get a good night's sleep.
Having a healthy sex life
Most people with heart failure can still have an active and safe sex life. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about having sex.
Unfortunately, sexual problems are common. Your interest may drop, or you may have shortness of breath or other symptoms that limit your ability to have sex. Men may have erection problems.
Talk to your doctor. You can get help for erection problems or other sexual troubles.
Other things you can do to take care of yourself
Help for caregivers
It can be rewarding to help a loved one with heart failure. But it's also a lot of work. And it can be hard emotionally.
If you are taking care of a loved one, make sure that you also take care of yourself. This can mean taking breaks by getting help from family or friends. You also may be able to use respite care. These services provide someone who will stay with your loved one while you get out of the house for a few hours.
More information
Coping With Your Feelings
Heart failure brings big changes to your life. You may struggle with sadness and worry. You may wonder if you'll still be able to enjoy your life. Coping with your feelings and seeking help when you need it can help you live better with heart failure.
Depression and anxiety
Heart failure can be hard on your emotions. You may feel depressed that you can't do some of the things you used to do. You may worry about your future. And symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, can make this anxiety worse.
These feelings are common. Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms of depression or are worried a lot. Depression and anxiety can be treated with counseling and medicine.
You also can help yourself feel better by changing your "self-talk." Those are the things you tell yourself about how you're coping. Negative thoughts can make you feel bad. Changing the way you think can change the way you feel.
For more information, see:
The challenges of living with heart failure can increase your stress. And stress can make living with heart failure even harder. Stress also can disturb your sleep and make depression and anxiety worse. Explore ways to relax and manage stress to help your body, mind, and spirit.
Getting support
Emotional support from friends and family can help you cope with the struggles of heart failure. You might want to think about joining a heart failure support group. Ask your doctor about the types of support that are available where you live.
Cardiac rehab programs can offer support for you and your family. Ask your doctor if rehab is right for you.
Meeting other people with the same problems can help you know you're not alone. If you're shy or aren't a joiner, you can look at an online support group. Even though people online aren't talking face-to-face, they're sharing their feelings and creating a community.
You probably will need to take several medicines to treat heart failure, even if you don't have symptoms yet.
Medicines don't cure heart failure. But they can help your heart work better and improve symptoms.
Medicines can:
It's very important to take your medicines exactly as your doctor says. If you don't, your heart failure may get worse or you may get sudden heart failure .
The medicines you take will depend on the type of heart failure you have. Some of the medicines treat the heart's pumping problems (systolic heart failure), while others treat problems with filling (diastolic heart failure). The most commonly used medicines are listed below.
Medicines for pumping problems (systolic heart failure)
Medicines for filling problems (diastolic heart failure)
Other medicines
You also may take other medicines for health problems that can cause heart failure or for problems caused by heart failure.
Talk to your doctor before you take any over-the-counter medicines. Some of them might make your symptoms worse.
More information
Surgeries for heart failure include:
Other Treatment
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) uses a biventricular pacemaker, which makes the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) pump together. This can help your heart pump blood better. This type of pacemaker can help you feel better so you can be more active. It also can help keep you out of the hospital and help you live longer.
If you get a pacemaker, you have to be careful not to get too close to some devices with strong magnetic or electrical fields. These include MRI machines, battery-powered cordless power tools, and CB or ham radios. But most everyday appliances are safe.
A pacemaker may be used alone or along with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for heart failure.
Implantable defibrillators (ICDs)
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent sudden death from an abnormal heart rhythm and may help you live longer. An ICD checks the heart for very fast and deadly heart rhythms. If the heart goes into one of these rhythms, the ICD shocks it to stop the deadly rhythm and returns the heart to a normal rhythm.
If you get an ICD, you have to be careful not to get too close to some devices with strong magnetic or electrical fields. These include MRI machines, battery-powered cordless power tools, and CB or ham radios. But most everyday appliances are safe.
An ICD may be used alone or along with a pacemaker for heart failure.
Ventricular assist devices (VADs)
Ventricular assist devices (VADs), also known as heart pumps, may be placed into the chest to help the heart pump more blood. VADs can keep people alive until a donor heart is available for transplant. In some cases, VADs may also be used as an alternative to heart transplant for long-term treatment. VADs are used in people who have severe heart failure.
Intra-aortic balloon pump
An intra-aortic balloon pump is sometimes used to help the heart pump more blood during sudden heart failure .
Talk to your doctor before you take any over-the-counter medicine or supplement. They are used along with medical treatments for heart failure, not instead of treatment.
You may hear about supplements, vitamins, or hormones that might improve heart failure symptoms.
Fish oil (omega-3 fatty acid) supplements have been shown to help heart failure patients. In some studies, fish oil supplements, taken along with other heart failure medicines, helped people stay out of the hospital and live longer. 2
No other supplement, vitamin, or hormone has been shown definitely to relieve heart failure or help you live longer.
Examples include coenzyme Q10 and hawthorn.

Following the premises of injury control, passive prevention strategies may be
more effective than active strategies. Thus, one strategy is to limit access to
lethal means of suicide.
1. Restricting access to guns
The most common means of suicide is firearms. Much of the attention to firearms
has focused on homicide and assault, but more people in the US and in other countries
of the world lose their lives to guns involved in suicide than in homicide.
Decreased access to guns can occur through safe storage of guns and through legislation
restricting access to guns. There are no studies of the impact of safe storage programs
on gun related suicides. There have been however a number of studies of the impact
of gun laws on suicide rates. These are primarily ecological comparisons of different
Review of gun restriction studies:
Study design and target population
US Population
Study quality and conclusions
of firearm suicides before and after law in Queensland, Australia.
The overall number of suicides by men of all ages decreased
in provincial areas but did not change in the other areas nor for women in
any areas.
District of Columbia, 1968-1987 compared to neighboring areas in
Maryland and Virginia.
There were no similar declines in MD or VA. Suicide by other
means did not increase.
of King County Washington with the Vancouver Metropolitan area
The study provides
some evidence that restricting access to handguns can decrease the risk of
youth suicide form handguns.
states, 1960 and 1970
ecological analysis has serious limitations.
Summary on studies of restricting access to guns
The only studies which have been done to date are ecological analyses or correlation
analyses. As a result, the conclusions which can be drawn on the impact of firearm
restrictions are not clear. Case control studies examining the effect of gun availability
are reviewed separately below.
2. Gun availability and risk of adolescent suicide
One design which has been used to examine the effect of gun availability is the
case-control method in which homes where there has been a suicide are compared to
homes where there has not been a suicide on gun ava ilability. In these studies,
it is important to look at ALL suicides so that an substitution effect can be included.
We review the studies here which include specific data on adolescents.
Review of gun availability and risk of adolescent
suicide studies:
Purchase of a handgun.
RR of suicide for personal purchase of gun: 2.0 (95% CI 1.4, 2.8).
Time since family purchase of less than 1 year: 5.7 (2.4,
Access to gun in home.
For males, adjusted OR 1.00 (95% CI 0.74, 1.34).
GSW accounted for only 1.3% of non-fatal and 13.3% of fatalities.
No separate data on adolescents.
No evidence of an effect of access on suicide risk.
Firearms in the home.
Presence of handguns (OR=9.4, 95% CI= 1.7 to 53.9) in the
home. Long guns in the home were associated with suicide only in rural areas,
whereas handguns were more closely associated with suicide in urban areas.
Handguns (OR= 12.9, 95% CI=1.5 to 110.9) and loaded guns (OR=
32.3, 95% CI=2.5 to 413.4) in the home were particularly significant risk
factors for suicide in those with no apparent psychiatric disorder.
Home ownership of guns.
For adolescents, aOR:10.
Effect was strongest in the adolescent age group.
Gund in the home.
Handguns were not associated with suicide to any statistically
significantly greater extent than long guns.
No effect of gun storage methods.
3. Restricting access to non-firearm means
One of the more common non-firearm methods of committing suicide is carbon monoxide.
In 1957, the mean carbon monoxide content of domestic gas (derived from coal) in
Great Britain was 12%. Self-asphyxiation with domestic gas accounted for over 40%
of all British suicides. Following the discovery of natural gas in the North Sea,
homes were converted to natural gas for domestic use; it had a CO content of only
2%. As a result, overall suicide rates dropped 26% and suicide by CO asphyxiation
fell from 40% to less than 10%. However, the recent study by Gunnell below indicates
some substitution may have occurred.
Review of restricting access to non-firearm means
People aged 12 and older.
A&E visits for poisonings at 7 hospitals.
Sales data
There was a 30% decrease in admissions for liver disease related
to acetaminophen poisoning, a 59% decrease in the number awaiting liver transplant
and a 66% decrease in liver transplants because of acteminophen poisoning.
The total number of tablets of acetaminophen did not change,
although there was a drop in the number of tablets of salicylates sold.
They do not provide any data on other types of poisonings in self-harm
attempts, so we do not know if there is any substitution effect.
For females, there was a 54% increase overall, and 89% decrease
in suicide by gas, but a 305% increase in suicide by drug OD.
There was no effect of laws on rates of suicide among 15-17
year olds.
Newcastle, UK
Adolescents and adults
53% reduction
in total amount ingested (1400 mg compared to 3000 mg).
No change in clinical outcomes
Suggests that
safety packaging may also affect intentional overdoses in teens and adults.
overall suicide rate remained essentially unchanged at 11/100,000.
Suicide by MV exhaust increased by 70%.
Although rates of suicide by domestic gas decreased, overall suicide
rates remained unchanged. However, even in 1950, domestic gas accounted for
only 6% of suicides.
15-19 year olds compared to NY state (outside of NY city) 15-19 year olds
However, this effect was most prominently seen in older adults. For
teenage and young adult males and females, suicide by other means did increase
by 9-33%, dampening the effect of the decrease in suicides by CO
evidence that elimination of lethal means of suicide can result in decrease
in suicide rates for older adults, but that there is evidence of a substitution
effect to a large degree among teens and young adults.
Summary of studies evaluating impact of restricting access
to non-firearm means
The recent data from the UK indicates that while there may have been some immediate
effect on suicide rates with the change from coal gas to natural gas, over a 25
year period there appeared to be a substitution effect with a marked increase in
suicide by drug overdoes.
The data on the effect of restricting access to commonly used drugs in suicide
is suggestive that there was an effect on suicide rates. The recent study on changes
in the number of salicylate and acetaminophen tablets allowed to be sold shows an
associated change in suicide attempts related to these two compounds but does not
look at any substitution effect. However, these were not strong designs and futher
evaluation is needed.
There was no indication that changing the legal age for purchase of alcohol affected
suicide rates in the Hingson study of one state, but strong evidence for an effect
in the study by Birckmayer and Hemenway of the entire US.
Recommendations on programs to restrict access to poisons
Based on the above, these interventions appear promising. However,
the data are best for CO, which in most countries is no longer a common means of
suicide. Restricting access to other means of suicide from drugs or poisons should
be accompanied by an evaluation to determine its effect.

Officials: Bin Laden spokesman caught in JordanBy LARA JAKES
The Associated Press | March 08,2013The Associated Press
The late al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is seen in Afghanistan in this file photo. His spokesman and son-in-law has been captured by U.S. intelligence officials.WASHINGTON Osama bin Ladens spokesman and son-in-law has been captured by the United States, officials said Thursday, in what a senior congressman called a very significant victory in the fight against al-Qaida.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith is expected to be in U.S. federal court in New York on Friday in an initial hearing to face terror charges, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
The case marks a legal victory for the Obama administration, which has long sought to charge senior al-Qaida suspects in American federal courts instead of military tribunals at the detention center at Guantanamo Bay.
Rep. Peter King, the former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, credited the CIA and FBI with catching al-Qaida propagandist Abu Ghaith in Jordan within the last week. He said the capture was confirmed to him by U.S. law enforcement officials.
A Jordanian security official confirmed that Abu Ghaith was handed over last week to U.S. law enforcement officials under both nations extradition treaty. He declined to disclose other details and spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Definitely, one by one, we are getting the top echelons of al-Qaida, said King, R-N.Y. I give the (Obama) administration credit for this: its steady and its unrelenting and its very successful.
Abu Ghaith became an international name in late 2001 when he appeared on pan-Arab satellite television urging Muslims everywhere to fight the United States and warning of more attacks similar to those of Sept. 11. In one video, he was sitting with bin Laden in front of a rock face in Afghanistan. A teacher and mosque preacher in Kuwait, he was stripped of his Kuwaiti citizenship after 9/11.
He is identified as a major al-Qaida core official by the New America Foundation think tank in Washington. King said Abu Ghaith was involved in the planning in the 9/11 attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Tom Lynch, a research fellow at the National Defense University in Washington, described Abu Ghaith as one of a small handful of senior al-Qaida leaders capable of getting the old band back together and postured for a round of real serious international terror.
His capture and extradition not only allows the U.S. to hold and perhaps try a reputed al-Qaida core survivor, further tarnishing the AQ core brand, but it also points to the dangers for those few remaining al-Qaida core refugees, Lynch said.
Its likely that Abu Ghaith will face a host of terrorism-related charges and possibly murder, which could carry the death penalty, said attorney Michael Rosensaft, who was a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorneys office in Manhattan until last fall and is now in private practice. He predicted the case will last months, if not years, and that some of the evidence against Abu Ghaith will be a challenge for prosecutors to bring to court if it is classified.
Abu Ghaiths trial will mark one of the first prosecutions of senior al-Qaida leaders on U.S. soil. Charging foreign terror suspects in American federal courts was a top pledge by President Barack Obama shortly after he took office in 2009 aimed, in part, to close Guantanamo Bay.
Since 9/11, 67 foreign terror suspects have been convicted in U.S. federal courts, according to watchdog group Human Rights First, which obtained the data from the Justice Department through a Freedom of Information Act request.
By comparison, of the thousands of detainees who were swept up shortly after the terror attacks and held at Guantanamo Bay, only seven were convicted by military tribunals held at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba, the watchdog group said. The vast majority have been sent back overseas, either for rehabilitation or continued detention and prosecution.
They know this is where this case belongs, Raha Wala, Human Rights Firsts national security attorney, said in a statement, praising the move to prosecute Abu Ghaith in New York. That decision underscores the confidence Americans should have in our tried-and-true system of justice and its ability to handle these complex cases.
Republicans in Congress have staunchly opposed bringing terror suspects to the United States and fought the White House to keep Guantanamo open. In a statement Thursday that did not mention Abu Ghaith, House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers said that al-Qaida suspects should not be prosecuted in federal courts because we should treat enemy combatants like the enemy.
The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported that Abu Ghaith was caught while passing through Jordan, on his way to Kuwait, shortly after leaving Turkey.
The newspaper said that Abu Ghaith was taken into custody more than a month ago at a luxury hotel in in Ankara, the Turkish capital. But Turkish officials decided he had not committed any crime in Turkey and released him, the newspaper reported.
In Ankara, Turkish officials refused to confirm Abu Ghaiths deportation or his capture in Jordan to The Associated Press. In Amman, the Jordanian capital, a security official said he had no information on the CIA arrest in Jordan.

As the need for mobile storage has continues to grow, we have had the opportunity to look at some of the highest performing and highest capacity micro SD cards that have come to market.
Today, we have the distinct opportunity to look over and share our thoughts on the Strontium Nitro 64GB microSD. The Nitro is a high performance UHS I memory card catering to the capacity and performance needs of users of Android smartphones and tablets.
Additionally, Strontium has also labelled their card with Windows Phone compatibility, which being a Windows Phone user, something I find comforting. Marketing documentation specifies 85 MB/s read with write speeds following UHS I certifications. Warranty is listed as lifetime.
Our sample included the retail accommodations, so here we have a SD to microSD adapter, along with a USB card reader for the microSDXC card.
Looking over the card, we can see the card is branded with Strontium's color scheme. The capacity of the drive is listed to the left with the UHS I class I logo to the right.
The backside of the card shows the pin out of the microSDXC card.
To test the capabilities of media cards, we utilize both CrystalDiskMark and DiskBench. The card reader utilized in these test is the SanDisk ImageMate SDDR 289.
Our first look over the card shows its storage capacity of 58.9GB formatted in the exFAT file system.
Looking over our results from CrystalDiskMark, we find the Nitro was capable of 83.2 MB/s read, with write numbers touching 22 MB/s.
In our first chart, we have our results from DiskBench. Above, you can see the Strontium did meet UHS I specifications, touching at least 10 MB/s in all three write tests. Peak performance was obtained from RAW image files.
In our price/performance index, we found the Strontium just below the SanDisk microSDXC.
Being that this is the first product that I have had the chance to look at from Strontium, it does give off a good first impression. The card carries ample performance for recording HD video and massive capacity to hold all the pictures your heart desires.
To be more specific, we found the card capable of 83 MB/s read and 22 MB/s write. While DiskBench results did show the card wasn't the quickest we have seen, it did offer plenty performance for everyday use.
Pricing of the 64GB Strontium Nitro microSDXC card is listed at $82.99.

All the snow and ice this week jogged our slushy post-holiday-season memories… And we realized we'd never announced the winners of our snowy day Instagram contest back in December. Our winners were all alerted, of course, and the $15 store credit prizes were duly distributed. But we'd like to go ahead and showcase the winning entries, even though the recognition is seriously belated. We were so thrilled with how fantastic the entries were — in fact, we couldn't decide on just five favorites, so we awarded seven instead!

Guised as a smarmy version of Fernando Lamas, comedian Billy Crystal has for years espoused, "It's better to look good than feel good." It's an apt mantra for Fort Lauderdale's waterfront milieu, where appearance is everything. After all, just how comfortable can those women on Las Olas Boulevard be, what with six-inch stiletto heels scrunching their calves into knotty fists and breasts rock-hard with silicone and/or saline? The Prowler, Chrysler's new-wave hotrod, is a joyous escape from that mentality. Tucked behind the steering wheel and breezing down the avenues, you can be cool and feel cool. Need to shave off a few more degrees? Head this 285-horsepower bullet to the Florida Turnpike, pay your buck, and take her up to warp speed. For a mere $395 a day, you can rent a limited-edition navy-blue Prowler from Unique Auto.

Winning close games is a sign of a good team but Coon Rapids head coach Jeff DeJoy has seen his share of tense endings to games this season. The Cardinals are 5-0 in games decided by two goals or less. Though two section games have been anything but close, beating Centennial and Osseo/Park Center by a combined 31-21.

Andover boys' lacrosse was primed for a strong run through sections and perhaps its first trip to state.
Not often does a coach with international and collegiate championships take over a high school program, let alone a relatively new team like Spring Lake Park girls lacrosse.
Next season Andover and Spring Lake Park will compete for the same Northwest Suburban Conference title. Monday evening, the Huskies opened the 2014 campaign with a 17-12 loss against a much different looking Spring Lake Park squad.

Published August 13, 2010
For centuries, artists from Hokusai to Hopper have used the ocean's colors to move people. Now a new study says they have the power to move hurricanes too.
What's more, global warming may already be changing the ocean's color—and therefore helping to determine who hurricanes will hit, and who they'll spare.
Led by oceanographer Anand Gnanadesikan, the study used computer simulations to look for links between ocean color and strong tropical cyclones—called hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the northeastern Pacific and known as typhoons in the northwestern Pacific.
"Our group develops climate models," said Gnanadesikan, of the U.S. Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton New Jersey. "One of my jobs is to try to make those more realistic."
One way to make the models more realistic is to look more closely at little-studied variables, such as ocean color.
In the North Pacific the predominant color is green, thanks to an abundance of minute, chlorophyll-packed plants called phytoplankton.
By absorbing sunlight, the floating plants help keep the ocean surface relatively warm. When there are fewer of them, the sun's heat concentrates deeper down.
(Related: "Strongest Hurricanes May Double in Frequency, Study Says.")
Clear Waters Make Hurricanes Hug Equator
In their climate model, the researchers reduced the plankton in North Pacific gyres—vast spiraling currents that can span an entire ocean.
"The gyres are already pretty clear, and we made them completely clear," said Gnanadesikan, whose study is to be published in a future issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
By clarifying the waters in the gyres, the team robbed the gyres' shallowest waters of heat—a crucial change, since warm surface water is fuel for strong tropical cyclones.
Tropical cyclones tend to form along the Equator, over the warm waters of the tropics, then move northward or southward into the subtropics. In the northwestern Pacific, for example, cyclones generally drift north and hit Japan and China.
But in the computer model—with the North Pacific gyres drained of color and heat—the number of hurricanes moving northward out of the tropics dropped by two-thirds, versus the normal number. The storms simply couldn't continue on without warm surface water to sustain them.
With clearer seas to the north, the cyclones tended to hug the Equator and hit the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand.
"This was a huge, huge impact from removing all color" from the gyres, Gnandesikan said. "I was really quite surprised."
(Watch hurricane videos.)
Global Warming's Paintbrush
Gyres are considered "'ocean deserts' because of their low level of productivity"—their ability to foster life-forms, such as phytoplankton—said biogeochemist Manfredi Manizza.
The gyres, will likely "become even less productive because of the warming of the climate," said Manizza, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California, who was not part of the new study.
This clearing of the oceans may already be happening, according to a recent study in the journal Nature.
As the ocean surface warms, it mixes less with cooler, deeper waters, which contain much of the oceans nutrients, the Nature study says. As shallow-water plants, phytoplankton are therefore starving to death, according to the findings.
(Related: "Warming Oceans Put Kink in Food Chain, Study Says.")
But Gnanadesikan, the computer model study leader, said that other studies have found a rise in plankton in recent decades.
"The big problem in estimating chlorophyll changes [in the ocean]," he said, "is that there's really only one good record, from a satellite that's been up for 12 years"—NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor.
In the future, though, Gnanadesikan and his team aim to use ongoing satellite data to track changes in ocean color, and to see if there's a real-world link to tropical cyclone paths.
I agree it may deflect... BUT! here in Bacolod City, Philippines during the strongest storm ever, we experienced a phenomenon that I believe it was Divine Intervention, for we survived among our surrounding islands ( Tacloban, Ormoc, Bantayan, Iloilo ... etc. ) and there was a sattelite picture of a triangular void during the storms (haiyan / yolanda) peak. & I had a picture taken of a sky view with that triangle. In short I believed we survived because GOD said so.

A Wichita sports tradition is changing its roots as the biddy basketball program passes hands.
Michelle Griggsby, biddy basketball organizer, said young athletes will not tip-off in the Garvey Sports Center this season.
The new director made the announcement during a biddy auction Monday. The Salvation Army put the equipment on the auction block after ending the 50 year program in February.
The Salvation Army pulled the plug on the youth basketball program citing the poor economy and lack of interest. Money raised from the auction will fund other Salvation Army programs.
"It's pretty sad. There's a lot of good memories. It's so sad to see these kids coming up won't have those memories as they are growing up," said long time Biddy coach Tom Staats. He bought all the trophies and wants to donate them to kids or coaches who won them.
But local parents are trying to get the organization back on it's feet. Griggsby said games will be held at a to-be-determined facility this summer. But she said plans are in the works to build a new 16-court facility.
Today's auction raised approximately $46,000 for the Salvation Army.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - The economic impact of the oil spill is starting to spread beyond the beaches of Louisiana and Alabama. Some Southwest Florida real estate agents say buyers are backing out of deals because of uncertainty about the oil.
BP has already given out nearly $2 million to people and businesses just in Florida because of losses since the spill; but such claims aren't as easy in some industries, like real estate.
"We actually had two contracts cancel today," said real estate company owner Marc Joseph.
Joseph's office has been getting the calls for more than a week from people unsure about oil who are having second thoughts about buying a Southwest Florida home.
"The person who wants to retire here, they don't want to look at black water," Joseph said. "And there is a concern on our level, we're finally getting good news about our economy, and we're finally getting to the point where the average median sales price is starting to creep up."
But making up for lost buyers isn't going to be easy. While BP is paying out claims to affected businesses, proving a link to the oil crisis is required.
"It's basically a matter of keeping very good records, and showing a contrast between before-and-after the loss," said Cape Coral attorney Robert Adamski.
Adamski says lost profits need hard numbers comparing past months or years to current losses. Photographic proof of oil's impact or people can also back it up.
"An affadavit or a deposition from some of the people who cancelled about why they cancelled, I think that would be excellent testimony," Adamski said.
Marc Joseph does not plan to make any claims with BP, saying it would be too difficult to quantify for an industry still recovering from collapsing prices and foreclosures.
"Very frustrating," Joseph said. "We've hit every obstacle imaginable down here."
BP is accepting claims for lost wages and income at http://www.bp.com/claims/. There are also other options for any business that can't get a claim from BP, or those that get denied. Tuesday, the White House approved a half-million dollars in low-interest small business loans. Claims also can be filed through the federal Oil Pollution Act via the U.S. Coast Guard's National Pollution Funds Center at http://www.uscg.mil/npfc/Claims/default.asp.

Polled in March 2012, top academic economists overwhelmingly agreed that "freer trade improves productive efficiency and offers consumers better choices, and in the long run these gains are much larger than any effects on employment."
This academic consensus has penetrated popular opinion to the extent that some people believe increasing cross-border trade flows is unambiguously good for everyone. Likewise, there is a relatively common — and wrong — belief that the Hawley-Smoot tariffs were a significant factor in the severity of the Great Depression.
We don't want to suggest that trade is bad, but it is worth highlighting that the actual views of the experts who study these issues are much more nuanced than what the "pop internationalists" often spew out.
For example, a new paper by Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, David Dorn, Gordon H Hanson, and Brendan Price estimates that the sharp increase in bilateral trade between China and the US cost somewhere between 2 and 2.4 million jobs between 1999 and 2011 — about 1 percent of the entire civilian population in 2011. Less than half of those jobs were in manufacturing sectors that directly competed with Chinese businesses. Read more
