[JURIST] A new report [text] released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center [organization website] estimates that the total number of illegal immigrants in the US has risen to some 12 million, despite US government attempts to crack down on inflow. The US House of Representatives passed [JURIST report] a controversial bill [bill summary] late last year to tighten border security, but the Pew report says that this has only caused immigrant workers from Mexico to stay longer since movement across the US-Mexico border is now more difficult. Members of the US Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] began meetings last week to debate several additional proposals [JURIST report] on immigration reform which have bitterly divided lawmakers.This latest Pew report estimates that since 2000, nearly 850,000 illegal immigrants have come into the US each year; a previous Pew study [JURIST report] released in September found that the rate of illegal immigration into the United States had increased despite tighter security measures in place since the September 11 terror attacks, but only at a pace paralleling the rate of economic growth.

[JURIST] The US House of Representatives has approved renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act [PDF text; JURIST news archive], sending the reauthorization bill to President Bush for his signature. The US Senate approved [JURIST report] the USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2005 [HR 3199 summary; DOJ fact sheet] last week. Sixteen key provisions [DOJ report, PDF] of the Patriot Act were set to expire at the end of last year, but members of Congress were initially unable to reach agreement on the terms of the renewal, prompting instead two short-term extensions [JURIST report], the latest of which is set to expire March 10. The renewal legislation will make 14 of the provisions permanent and extend the remaining two until 2009, those being Section 206 on "roving" wiretaps under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Section 215 on subpoenas under FISA. Four Republican senators joined with Democrats to oppose a previous version of the renewal, but eventually reached a compromise agreement [PDF summary; JURIST report] to incorporate additional civil liberties protections in the renewal. The additional safeguards include allowing recipients of Section 215 subpoenas for information in terror investigations to be able to challenge the accompanying gag order; eliminating a requirement that people who receive National Security Letters (NSL) [sample text, PDF; ACLU backgrounder] must provide the FBI the names of lawyers consulted about the NSL; and clarifying current law to ensure that libraries functioning in their traditional roles would not be subject to NSLs.7:45 PM ET - The USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006 [S. 2271 summary] passed the House 280-138 [roll call], with just two votes more than the two-thirds majority necessary to pass the bill on an expedited basis. S. 2271, a series of amendments to the reauthorization bill, was approved by the Senate [JURIST report] last week. Both bills will now go to President Bush for his signature. After the vote Speaker Dennis Hastert praised the anti-terror provisions [press release] in the bill and also welcomed the inclusion of "critical anti-drug provisions that we hope will stem the flow of methamphetamine into our communities." The bill now goes to President Bush for expected signature.
[JURIST] The Netherlands cabinet is set to decide later this month whether to go forward with a ban against Muslim women wearing the niqab [Wikipedia backgrounder], the Muslim religious veil similar to a burqa [Wikipedia backgrounder] that leaves only a woman's eyes visible. The specific idea was first floated [JURIST report] in October. Last year the Dutch Parliament [official website] voted in favor of prohibiting all face coverings in public for security reasons, and the cabinet is waiting to hear whether the proposed ban would violate European human rights laws before deciding to authorize the bill. A female Dutch-Muslim lawyer said she believes a ban will prompt more Muslim women to wear the niqab as a form of protest and expressed concern that a ban will eventually lead to a further ban on the hijab, the Muslim headscarf [JURIST news archive].If the bill is approved, the Netherlands would become the first European country to completely ban the niqab nationwide, following partial bans in France, which outlawed clear religious symbols [JURIST report] including Muslim headscarves, Sikh turbans, Jewish skullcaps, and Christian crucifixes from schools in 2004, and a Belgian town which banned burkas as an extension of laws that mandate easy public identification. Last November, the European Court of Human Rights [official website] ruled [JURIST report] that Turkey's ban on the wearing of headscarves at universities was allowable to prevent extremist political movements. The results of the human rights study for the Dutch bill is expected to be available later this month. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US House of Representatives [official website] Tuesday approved a bill to bolster anti-counterfeiting laws expected to prevent billions of dollars in losses to US manufacturers. The Stop Counterfeiting in Manufactured Goods Act [text, PDF], passed by the Senate last month, mandates the elimination of all equipment used to make counterfeit goods and strengthens laws which prohibit the use of fake trademark labels. American auto suppliers have voiced support for the measure due to losses in revenue and safety concerns over the manufacturing of counterfeit brake pads which proved to be faulty.The National Association of Manufacturers [association website] estimates that fake goods make up almost $500 million of all goods produced each year, crossing industries such as pharmaceuticals, clothing, auto parts, toys, and electronics. The measure will now go to President Bush for his signature. AP has more.
[JURIST] A UN expert on racism warned Tuesday that instances of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia are on the rise worldwide, and pose a special danger as they are not confined to extremist groups but have become integral to mainstream democratic systems. Senegalese lawyer Doudou Diene, UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance [official website], was speaking to the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination [UN fact sheet] meeting in Geneva. Diene said that the fight against terrorism and other government initiatives had led to discriminatory immigration and asylum policies and a retreat from diversity and tolerance: racism was now "commonplace" and ethnically and racially-biased stances had become increasingly legitimized in intellectual discourse by respected scholars.Speaking of recent events, he said the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad [JURIST news archive] reflected a re-emergence of xenophobia, but encouraged the UN to regard the furor over their dissemination as a clash of competing values - freedom of expression and freedom of religion - rather than some "clash of civilizations", indicating that the balance between the two had to be negotiated through dialogue [press release] rather than law. UN News Center has more. Read the full UN summary of Diene's meeting with the Committee.
[JURIST] A CIA information review officer providing a sworn statement to US District Judge Reggie B. Walton [official profile] has indicated that clearing top-level information requested by former vice-presidential Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby [defense profile; JURIST news archive] could take as long as nine months. Marilyn Dorn filed the statement Friday but it was only unsealed Tuesday. Libby, who faces perjury charges [PDF indictment] for lying to federal investigators in the CIA leak case [JURIST news archive], has asked for nearly one year of presidential security briefing transcripts. Dorn also stated that disclosure of the transcripts could potentially compromise national security, suggesting that the agency is opposed to a hypothetical release. Libby insists the documents are necessary to prove that he was so busy with security matters that he simply forget his conversation with reporters about the identity of former CIA operative Valerie Plame [JURIST news archive]. AP has more.
[JURIST] Former Enron [JURIST news archive] Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow [JURIST news archive] took the stand for the prosecution against his former bosses Enron founder Kenneth Lay [Houston Chronicle profile] and former CEO Jeff Skilling [Houston Chronicle profile] Tuesday. Fastow testified that both Lay and Skilling were aware of the creation of two partnerships in 1999 designed to keep the failing firm's liabilities off the books. Fastow said that Skilling encouraged him to create as much revenue from the partnerships as possible, earnings that were later swapped with the parent company to conceal financial losses.Both Lay and Skilling have been charged with fraud and conspiracy [indictment, PDF; DOJ Enron trial materials], and contend that they were duped by Fastow [JURIST report] who initiated the fraudulent behavior to increase his personal gain. Fastow pleaded guilty [plea agreement, PDF] to two counts of conspiracy in 2004 for his involvement in the scandal. AP has more. The Houston Chronicle has local coverage.
[JURIST] US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile] insisted Tuesday that US treatment of detainees is consistent with the Geneva Conventions [ICRC materials], but questioned the relevance of some Geneva provisions in the context of "this new kind of war, against this new kind of enemy." In an interview [BBC report] with BBC News during an official visit to London [JURIST report], Gonzales wondered whether Convention requirements that detainees be given commissary privileges and a monthly allowance made sense and also questioned whether embarrassing or insulting a detainee should constitute cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment. This is not the first time that Gonzales has questioned the relevance of the Geneva Conventions to the war on terror. In a 2002 memo [text; JURIST report] written while he was White House counsel, Gonzales suggested that the post-September 11 situation and the war against terror "renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions." Earlier Tuesday, Gonzales publicly defended US policies on torture, saying that the US respects the rights of detainees and does not knowingly practice extraordinary rendition [JURIST news archive] by sending detainees to countries where it is likely they will be tortured. In a speech [text] at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies, Gonzales said:
The United States abhors torture and categorically rejects its use, as a matter of policy, as a matter of international obligations, and as a matter of US law. Likewise, US law forbids cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees as defined by U.S. obligations under the Convention Against Torture, whether in the United States or abroad, whether at the hands of military or civilian personnel. When violations do occur, as they have, we investigate any credible allegation - and those found to have committed infractions are disciplined. Unlike our enemies who torture and decapitate innocent human beings to make their point, we are committed to rooting out and denouncing the mistreatment of human beings - even when it is committed by our soldiers against enemy combatants. The virtue of the rule of law is not that it eliminates all human flaws; rather, laws expose flaws, and address them justly.Our Congress recently passed and the President signed the Detainee Treatment Act, which included the well-known McCain Amendment. Contrary to press accounts, however, the McCain Amendment did not prohibit torture. Our federal criminal laws have long done that. Instead, the McCain Amendment codified in U.S. law the prohibition against cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment contained in the Convention Against Torture, making clear that the prohibition applies to the treatment of all detainees under U.S. control anywhere in the world.In the context of renditions - another matter that has raised particular concern in the UK and Europe - US policy is also clear. We do not transport anyone to a country if we believe it more likely than not that the individual will be tortured; and we seek assurances, where appropriate, that transferred persons will not be tortured. We do not use the airports or air space of any country in Europe or anywhere in the world for the purpose of transporting a detainee to a country where he will be tortured.
the United States Congress and the President have recognized the unusual nature of this conflict and, the wartime context notwithstanding, have provided additional and unprecedented legal protections to Guantanamo detainees - protections that seem to have received scant attention abroad. First, each detainee is provided not just the traditional assessment of his status by commanders in the field. He is also afforded a subsequent formal hearing before a separate, three member military tribunal to determine whether he is properly being detained as an enemy combatant. Then, if the detainee objects to the tribunal's conclusion, he may appeal to a civilian federal Court of Appeals and thereafter to the United States Supreme Court. In addition, every detainee is afforded an annual administrative review to determine whether he should be released - a process very much like a prison parole hearing.We are aware of no other nation in history that has afforded procedural protections like these to enemy combatants - including allowing access to civilian courts for those captured on the battlefield. In point of fact, more than 265 detainees have already been transferred out of Guantanamo Bay. Unfortunately, despite assurances from those released, the Department of Defense reports that at least 15 have returned to the fight and been recaptured or killed on the battlefield.
[JURIST] The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] in Strasbourg ruled Tuesday that a British woman could not have frozen embryos conceived with a former partner implanted without his consent. Natallie Evans and Howard Johnston entered an IVF program in 2001 and Johnson agreed to the implantation of the embryos, but later withdrew his consent after the breakup of the couple. Evan appealed to the ECHR [JURIST report] in September after two adverse UK court rulings, including a loss in the Court of Appeal [JURIST report] in 2004 citing the terms of the UK Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act [text] under which consent must be given by both prospective parents for in vitro fertilization to be allowed. Evans' lawyers had argued that Evans was entitled to implantation even in the face of Johnson's objection under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights [text], declaring that "Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life...".The ECHR ruling [text, press release] is consistent with the law governing similar circumstances in other jurisdictions. In the United States, courts have thusfar ruled that each parent has the absolute right to prevent implantation of any frozen embryo under the constitutional right to privacy. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] San Francisco Superior Court [official website] Judge James L. Warren ruled Monday that the University of California [official website] system broke a contract with students when it raised fees during their three-year professional programs. Under the ruling the system should refund more than $33.8 million, primarily to students who enrolled in the professional schools in 2002 or earlier. University of California officials say it was always made clear that fees could change. Citing a budget crisis, they contended that it was necessary to raise fees in 2003 to cover cuts in funding. Fees will be raised again for the 2006/7 academic year, in part to cover the costs of the lawsuit [UC Office of the President, 2006-07 Budget Proposal]. AP has more. The Los Angeles Times has local coverage.
[JURIST] US Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) [official website], chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website], has said that the committee may recall US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile] to testify about the administration's domestic surveillance program [JURIST news archive]. Gonzales testified [JURIST report] before the committee last month and later followed up that testimony with a letter [PDF text], which Specter said suggests that the administration is operating other classified intelligence programs beyond the NSA domestic eavesdropping program. Gonzales said last week that the administration is not conducting any additional warrantless domestic surveillance [JURIST report] beyond what President Bush acknowledged in December, but Specter nonetheless said that Gonzales could be brought back before the judiciary committee. Ranking Democrat on the committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) [official website], has voiced frustration [JURIST report] with Gonzales' response to requests for information about the program. Leahy on Monday called for Gonzales to "clear up the confusion he created first by ducking our questions, and later by further clouding the issues with a 'clarifying' letter that substantially revised his unsworn testimony." AP has more.
[JURIST] Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz [official profile] said Tuesday that Israel would consider resorting to targeted killings of Hamas leaders if the group resumes attacks in Israel. Hamas [ICT backgrounder], regarded by much of the international community to be a terrorist group, took control of the Palestinian Legislative Council [official website] this week after a surprise victory [JURIST report] in January's elections. Mofaz said that if Hamas "chooses the path of terror," its leaders would be considered a "terrorist leadership" and no one would be immune from targeted assassinations [BBC backgrounder], even Prime Minister-designate Ismail Haniyeh. Israel's policy of targeting top Hamas officials has drawn widespread criticism in recent years. The assassination of Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin [BBC profile] in 2004 was widely condemned as contrary to international law [JURIST reports] by rights groups and by the UN's Commission on Human Rights [JURIST report]. Early last year, Israel agreed to suspend targeted killings of Palestinian militants [JURIST report] as part of a cease-fire agreement. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The French Conseil d'Etat [official website], the country's highest administrative tribunal, held [decision, in French] Monday that Sikhs have to remove their turbans to be photographed for driver's licenses as a matter of public security. The ruling overturned an earlier decision [JURIST report] by the same tribunal made on procedural grounds in December, when the Council held that a directive by the Interior Ministry on the removal of turbans for identification purposes was not valid because it had not been specifically endorsed by the French Transport Ministry. The Transport Ministry subsequently issued an order that the Interior Ministry regulation would apply to it, and the case went forward again. Read the Council's press release on its latest ruling.The decision is expected to stir controversy in France where religious minorities, including the country's small number of Sikhs, already feel targeted by a recent law restricting the wearing of religious dress - including Sikh turbans - in public schools [JURIST report; text of law, in French]. Sikh tradition prescribes the wearing of a turban as a sacred duty for men. United Sikhs [advocacy website], which helped bring the case decided Monday, provides background materials on its "Right to Turban" campaign in France. AP has more.12:11 PM ET - United Sikhs said Tuesday that it has asked French President Jacques Chirac to intervene in the case, and the lawyer for complainant Shingara Mann Singh has said that he is considering an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights [official website]. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Leading Tuesday's international brief, Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye [BBC profile] has been found not guilty of rape by a High Court judge who ridiculed the disarray of the prosecutor's office in presenting jumbled and often mislabeled evidence and even implied that the woman accusing Besigye was dishonest, saying that while one might forget the day of a rape, no one would forget the month. Besigye was charged with rape [JURIST report] along with three other allegedly trumped-up criminal offenses shortly after declaring his intent to run against Ugandan incumbent President Yoweri Musevini [BBC profile] in February's elections. Besigye still faces charges on treason, conspiracy, and illegal firearms possession. JURIST's Paper Chase has continuing coverage of Uganda [JURIST news archive].

[JURIST] US government lawyers on Monday asked a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit [PDF complaint; JURIST report] filed by two rights groups against US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld [official profile] over detainee abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First [advocacy websites] filed the suit on behalf of nine former detainees [ACLU profiles], alleging that Rumsfeld and other top military officials bear direct responsibility for torture and abuse committed by US personnel and their actions violate the US Constitution and international law. In its motion to dismiss [PDF text], the DOJ argues that Rumsfeld is entitled to immunity under the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1988, 28 US Code 2679 [text; DOJ backgrounder], barring civil lawsuits against federal officials for conduct performed within the scope of employment. At issue in the case is a 2002 memo [text] signed by Rumsfeld which authorizes interrogation techniques for detainees, including "stress positions," 20-hour interrogations, use of dogs, and prolonged isolation. Though the DOJ argues that the memo was within Rumsfeld's scope of employment, HRF lawyer Deborah Pearlstein criticized the argument [press release], saying that "the Secretary's position that ordering torture was 'within the scope of his employment' is a stunning abdication of the responsibility of command." The DOJ also argued that the court does not have jurisdiction to hear cases seeking money damages for alleged violations of international law. The ACLU provides additional background on the case, including an overview of the legal basis of the claims. Reuters has more.
[JURIST Europe] UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke [official profile] is expected to propose legislation that would allow the use of wiretap evidence in British courtrooms, specifically in cases of organized crime and terrorism, according to British press reports Tuesday. The practice is already common in the US, Australia, and other European countries to secure convictions. There has been a recent change in the traditional opposition [Guardian report] to the use of wiretap evidence by police, security services and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) [official website], which now say they would not protest the measure but want strict safeguards included in new laws, specifically to protect their agents or covert techniques.UK Prime Minister Tony Blair [JURIST news archive] is thought to favor the potential legislation. The use of phone-tap evidence is also supported by some civil rights groups who believe that it will allow for more transparency in convictions. Others have expressed reservations, suggesting that the move will not make as much difference as suggested and could potentially cause problems.

[JURIST Europe] German Chancellor Angela Merkel [official profile in German; BBC profile] announced [recorded audio, in German] Monday that her cabinet had approved a new bill to jump-start the biggest constitutional reform in Germany since 1949. The bill is meant to undo the entanglement of federal and state governments that was created after World War II as a check on central power and to speed up the political decision-making process. Because Germanys current government is a coalition of the countrys top two parties Merkels Christian Democrats [official website] and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) [official website in German; Wikipedia backgrounder] a consensus on reform has become possible, and it's seen as a test for Merkels 'grand coalition' government.The system currently in place permits state governments to block nearly 60 percent of federal legislation. If ratified, the bill would cut the number of laws that can be vetoed by the Bundesrat [official website], the upper house of the German parliament where German states are represented, and clarify a separation of powers between federal and state governments. A two-thirds majority in both houses will have to approve the proposal. Reuters has more. The German federal government has posted a backgrounder on the constitutional reform process.Tatyana Margolin is an Associate Editor for JURIST Europe, reporting European legal news from a European perspective.

[JURIST Europe] UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke [official profile, JURIST news archive] protested the failure of the United States to ratify the latest US-UK extradition treaty [official PDF text], ratified by the UK parliament in 2003, at a meeting Monday with visiting US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile; JURIST news archive]. Since ratifying the treaty itself, the UK has extradited 12 offenders to the US, whereas the US has extradited only five, including only one in 2005. Congress failure to formally ratify the treaty means that Britain cannot prosecute criminals residing in the US, including suspected pedophiles and sex offenders. 145 MPs have signed a Commons motion [transcript of debate] demanding that Britain cease extraditions to the US until the treaty is ratified.A senior US official has suggested that US ratification may have been stalled by pressure from the strong Irish-American lobby, which fears requests for the extradition of members of Irish Republican Army [MIPT profile], although British authorities say they are not interested in this in the wake of the Good Friday agreement [BBC backgrounder]. The last ratified version of the treaty dates back to 1972 and contains a statute of limitation which forbids extraditions for offences that occurred more than six years ago. This makes it especially problematic to extradite in cases of child abuse, where victims may not come forward until adulthood.

The Antarctic Treaty comes up for review
Antarctica is the last remaining unspoilt wilderness; untouched by the massive industrialisation common everywhere else on the planet. It covers an area of 13.7 million sq km (5.3 million sq miles) and is covered by an ice sheet 4 km (2.5 miles) deep. It has no human inhabitants, other than a small number of scientists in research stations.
The vast, icy continent is governed by the terms of the Antarctic Treaty, which came into effect in 1961. This was signed by Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway, the UK, Belgium, Japan, South Africa, the USA and Russia. The first seven of these countries have historic claims to the continent (none of which are generally recognised) and the Treaty preserves the status quo, neither recognising nor repudiating the old claims, but forbidding their expansion in any way. The terms of the Treaty also forbid the assertion of new claims.
The discovery of a hole in the ozone layer, and other concerns, led to the addition of a new environmental protocol agreed in 1991. This entered force in 1998. It was intended to protect Antarctica's environment and ecosystems, and included a total ban on the exploitation of mineral and energy resources, as well as strict regulation of pollution and other damaging activities. The protocol is open for review in 2048, exactly 50 years after it was implemented.*
Much has changed in the last half century. Earth's population is over 50% larger, placing a substantial drain on the Earth's resources which has become alarmingly obvious by now. Metal and mineral supplies continue to be an issue, even with large-scale recycling systems in place.* Despite objections from environmentalists, there is general consensus among the international community that some limited exploitation of Antarctica should be permitted, within certain specially controlled areas. Over the next few years, a new treaty is drawn up with modified clauses, though disputes continue over territorial boundaries.
There are significant logistical challenges to mining and mineral extraction in the region – such as the isolation, extreme cold, rough seas and thick ice sheet. However, new technologies look set to mitigate these problems, including the use of robots, heavy automation and alternative methods of drilling. In addition, climate change and the melting of ice is making it possible to exploit some previously inaccessible areas of the western ice sheet.

Reversible biostasis is available
Nanotechnology has continued to progress exponentially, transforming society in ways that were only recently considered science fiction.** Towards the end of this decade, it's becoming possible to actually "freeze" people in a form of suspended animation. This is achieved by shutting down their metabolism and preserving cell structures, using a complex arrangement of nanobots.
These microscopic machines have been around for a while now, in a variety of roles. They are already a staple of military hardware, medical equipment, entertainment devices and general-purpose computing. This latest generation reaches a new level of sophistication. Networked together in the trillions, they are self-guided through the bloodstream and into every cell. Here, they can block the molecular machinery of metabolism and tie structures together with stabilising cross-links, held firmly in place. As water is expelled and replaced with preservative fluid, nanobots pack themselves solidly around each cell, preventing any damage or deterioration.*
Once the patient has been fully stabilised in this way, they are essentially frozen in time. They can be kept in this condition for years, if necessary. To a casual observer, they would appear cold and dead.
The procedure leads to a number of useful applications. In medicine, for example, it provides the deepest possible anaesthesia, giving surgeons unlimited time to work. It can be used for medical emergencies in remote locations, stabilising a patient's condition until help arrives. In space travel it helps future astronauts with long journeys, avoiding problems of boredom and/or food supplies. It can be used in covert spying missions, where an individual might be required to lie in a restricted space for extended periods of time. More commonly, it can be used by citizens as a life extension technology, or for personal financial reasons.
The process is reversed with cell repair machines – so only very minor damage is done, without any lasting harm. Nanobots enter the patient's tissues and remove the "packing" around cells, replacing it with water. The cross-links are then removed; any damage to structures is easily repaired. Salt, ATP and blood sugar levels are then restored. Finally, the metabolic machinery is unblocked and the patient's body rapidly comes to life again.
The near-Earth asteroid 2007 VK184 makes a close pass
This object – measuring 130m in diameter – has a 1 in 3,000 chance of hitting the Earth on this date. It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2007. Ignoring the acceleration of the asteroid due to the Earth's gravity, its velocity relative to the Earth at the intersection of their orbits would be 15.63 km/s.
If such an impact were to occur, it would likely break into several pieces in the atmosphere. However, these individual chunks of rock may still be large enough to cause widespread devastation, if landing in populated areas. For comparison, the Tunguska event of 1908 was thought to have been caused by an object measuring 30-50m. This was large enough to produce an airburst equivalent to thousands of Hiroshima bombs.

Very pleased
Carved in Love - Autumn Address Labels Everything was exactly as shown. The quality was very good and shipping time as promised.
great for fall themes
Carved in Love - Autumn Address Labels I ordered these for to use for my wedding invitations in the fall. They coordinated perfectly with everything and I couldn't believe the price! I immediately ordered other products with this theme. I couldn't believe how fast they came and the great quality. Couldn't recommend more!
Carved in Love - Autumn Envelope Seals The design caught my eye online. It was beautiful and went perfectly with my friend's theme. However, when I received the product I could barely see the initials. It was like it wasn't done in bold font. I wish more could have been done. The quality of the labels was good and probably the only redeeming things about this product. It just looked better online than in real life.
Carved in Love - Autumn Envelope Seals These seasl are just as beautiful as everything else in this collection. I didnt realize how big they would actually be, but that was my lack of imagination. They take up a little bit more on the back of the envelope than I had envisioned. But despite my size misjudgement, they are absolutely beautiful.
Love in the Woods Pocket Invitations I ordered the Love in the Woods invites. We are so do happy with them and I would absolutely recommend them!!

Just a reminder to anyone thinking of entering in the GTBR ...
If you enter before 5 pm on Friday 15th December, you avoid the $100 late fee.
Online entry prior to 15 Dec = $850
Online entry after 15 Dec = $950
I was hoping to be able to do a trip up the 1 in 20 this week, to test out my knee ... but I'm now working for the rest of the week, so there goes that idea (before signing up for GTBR at least).
Do anyone have any idea of the gradients of the hill climbs on the GTBR ... just so I can compare it to the 1 in 20 (4.2%) or Kinglake (4.8%), which I'll hopefully be doing soon.
Thanks, Penny

I am trying to use Inventor Fusion for Mac to create some simple parts and I get the spinning beach ball of death at random times into working with the part. Simple sketches only, just lines and circles. I get 30 minutes or so in to recreating the part and then I get the beachball, then the Autodesk error reporting window... then I have to start over again.
I am using OS X 10.8.1 on a 2.7GHz Intel Core i7, 16mb of ram, 768Gb SSD (all stock Apple). I am also driving a 30" external Apple Cinema display but the problems also occur if I do not use the external display. I am doing this while all other software is off (except for Dropbox but the file I am creating is not in a Dropbox folder). I can work around using a mac mini I have which has not given me the problem so far but I would sure like to use my more powerful machine and not have to change my desk setup to use Inventor Fusion.
I like Inventor Fusion a lot I assume it is trial software for a more featured mac program for sale in the future? Thanks for any hints or tips!
As seen here and their App Store reviews, a bunch of us with Retina MBP's seem to be having similar problems. I went a half hour this time before crashing and ending up with a corrupted file A new record!
I hope they fix this soon.
Thanks your information.
We will analyze this issue, and try to fix it in next version.
Thanks. If I had to guess as to what the problem was it seems like it occurs mostly when commands don't process quickly and get queued up and the software gets confused trying to process them in sequence.
I am a (very) new user and basic stuff such as selecting an edge and then using orbit to move around and select another edge can cause problems. The instruction materials don't explain very basic interface guidelines such as how to select, orbit, select again so I end up trying left/right/center clicks and notice the infamous beachball most often shows up after such random clicking. After selecting an edge and then picking orbit, I guess that middle (scroll wheel) should get me out of orbit and back into the select but I am guessing and so may end up with a few extra clicks that then leads to a beachball.
I try to save the file and rename the current workspace to something new before trying anything that takes time as the problem is particularly nasty when it not only crashes but also corrupts the file.
On a related note, Pre-loading the "Save As" field with the current filename would help as well as then I could save versions quickly (as 1, 2, 3, etc.). Right now the field is blank so saving backup files in case of crash/corruption also takes a lot of typing.
Cheers. Still a good program for the price.
This issue should be fixed now.

On the dev list I read how things are committed etc., but I don't see any
of the updates here: https://github.com/apache/kafka/commits/trunk Also, when someone submits a patch, is it possible to download the patched version also? Is it in a remote branch or something? I tried to list the remote branches (in the apache repository) and I couldn't see anything. +

Sometimes it's good to stop and explain why things happen the way they do. It helps me to put the logic behind decisions in writing just to see if my explanation is as clear on paper as it is between my ears.
Each election season as the polling day draws near, journalism stresses rise. Contrary to popular belief, we strive to be fair and objective.
Every year there are 300 to 400 abused and neglected children in Hardin County Family Court. They are in court through no fault of their own, but because their parents or caregivers cannot or will not care for them. Substance abuse, domestic violence, mental health issues, poverty, and generational patterns of abuse all contribute to child maltreatment in Hardin County.
As the project consultant for the Hardin County Vision Project, it is my pleasure to invite each citizen of Hardin County to join Judge-Executive Harry Berry and me by attending the upcoming Hardin County Vision Project community forum.

Members of my staff who attended the recent burial of Staff Sgt. Bryan E. Bolander in Hopkinsville say the event played out in sound.

The cadence of boots on pavement as a contingent from the 101st Airborne Division marched their brethren's coffin to the committal shelter.
A church outing turned tragic for members of the Radcliff First Assembly of God when 27 lives were lost on that fateful night of Saturday, May 14, 1988. They will never be forgotten.

A prayer for the innocent
Gov. Steve Beshear proclaimed May 1 as "Day of Prayer in Kentucky." Thank you, Governor. If I may, here is a prayer for the most innocent among us.
"Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion and send revival to America."
ISSUE: Primary Election Day
OUR VIEW: Ho-hum. Why vote?
Why vote today, you say?
Barack Obama, who basically has ignored Kentucky in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, leads Hillary Rodham Clinton with 1,905 of the 2,026 delegates needed. She has 1,719. Mathematically, there does not seem to be any way Clinton can win the nomination. Maybe.
Unsubstantiated rumor mongering
I was greatly disappointed in the printing of Bonnie Erbe's column "End the mistreatment of race horses" May 8 in The News-Enterprise. Her column was chock-full of horror stories depicting the worst sorts of cruelty to horses imaginable. None were documented. None correspond with my own personal knowledge of pleasure and race horses. Kentucky is horse country. The News-Enterprise should apologize to horse owners everywhere for its implicit endorsement of Bonnie Erbe's slander.
If the odds-makers really know what they are talking about there's little doubt of the outcome when 13 high-strung, athletic thoroughbreds lunge from the starting gate at Pimlico shortly after 6 p. m. Saturday. Odds are 1-2 that Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown will run away with the race.
Nevertheless, breeders, owners, racing fans, even critics, will be holding their breath anxiously the ensuing 2 minutes lest another fatal equine tragedy befall one of Kentucky's signature industries.
Did we learn nothing from tragedy?
Wednesday morning I had the opportunity to see Harold "Bubba" Dennis on Montel Williams' show talking about his experience during the fatal Carrollton bus crash 20 years ago this month.
Since I grew up here I remembered how hard this drinking-and-driving crash struck our community. That same crash is the worst drunken driving accident in U.S. history.
Among its pitiful list of failings this year, the Kentucky General Assembly left Frankfort last month without clarifying the state's laissez faire city classification system, which has caused an uproar the last year in Elizabethtown.
The House, at the urging of Rep. Jimmie Lee, D-Elizabethtown, unanimously approved a resolution to create a task force of lawmakers, residents and municipal officials to study the controversy. But Senate Republicans weren't interested in taking up such a taxing issue.
Think about the future
In the April 13 edition of The News-Enterprise, there was an article titled, "Yarmuth blames Iraq for economy." I think that statement is only partially correct and I can agree in a limited way with his statement.
The toll of American deaths in Iraq reached a milestone Monday: 4,000. The number is a fraction of the losses from other protracted wars, but is higher than the nation expected.
In May 2003 when major combat actions were declared completed, the nation collectively wiped its brow and thought, "Whew. Thank God casualties were relatively few."
"What are you doing?" I asked my niece, my face a little squished and I a little unsure I wanted to hear the answer. With her 3-year-old grip — the kind of grip you can only undo by prying each finger away, one at a time — she clutched the back of my neck in her hand and pressed my cheek close to hers.
She pulled away — only inches — and blinked.
Justice or justification
ISSUE: Delicate balance of justice
OUR VIEW: Remark was in error
The pursuit of justice is a delicate process at best. That's why the symbolic Lady Justice is depicted holding a set of scales. A felony assault trial last week in Hardin Circuit Court illustrates the sensitive nature of pursuing truth.
I remember as a child that I loved Mother's Day.
It never ranked higher than Christmas or my birthday for obvious reasons, but the element of surprise that I could spring on my unsuspecting mother was pretty cool.
Usually what she would get on Mother's Day is something we would put together during school and I would have to make sure I hid the card or the plant somewhere in my room where I knew she wouldn't see it until Mother's Day.
If she had ever sneaked a peek at one of those gifts, she never told me.
People should be held accountable for actions
My daughter attends John Hardin High School and my son is about ready to enter high school. I was appalled when reading the article about the JHHS principal, but I was more disturbed at the formal statement released.To me, this downplayed the whole incident. I am also curious as to who drafted the statement and why the name of the person making the statement was not cited.
I want to thank Commissioners Garry King, Bill Hayes, and Bill Brandenburg for removing the $12.5 million "placeholder" from the county's budget. They acted responsibly to not only serve all the county's citizens but to effectively use our financial resources. This issue has become so divisive that it should be put on hold. Perhaps in a few years and in a better economic climate the Commission as a whole can re-visit it.
Betty Hilliard
This is hard for me because I do not like to call myself a victim. But I am a victim of drinking and driving.
While my life has been very full and blessed, I am happy to say I have five wonderful children, an awesome husband and a happy life. But not a day goes by that I do not look in the mirror and see May 14, 1988 all over again.
I have overcome obstacles that I never thought I would have done. Let me share a few.

Sermon Notes 09-11-11am
1 John 3:19
Intro: Ten years ago, when the Trade Towers fell…Pentagon & Pennsylvania… We Lost…Still Grieve.
- Money, Property, Lives…. Security
Suddenly we felt less safe, vulnerable, at risk (Terrorism)
- There is a difference between Feeling Secure and Being Secure. (Feelings are often unreliable)
t/s – John deals with Security. 1 John 5:13 – so that you might know
Blessed Assurance…
… All is at rest, I in my savior am happy & blessed
Being Secure is much more than Feeling Secure
1 John 3: 19-24 (John gets most directly to his point)
Note: vs. 24 – first reference to Holy Spirit… more later.
Two Kinds of Christians
People with an Assured Heart
Exp – "Assure" (19) = to persuade, to soothe… Set Heart at Rest
- "Before God" = "Confidence"… Free, bold speech
In present, ease of prayer in His presence
For Future, no fear or dread…. He Knows!
Ill – Like a child crawling into Daddy's lap, unhindered.
App – This is the Ideal, the Norm… To be Born as His Child!
People with a Condemned Heart
Exp – "Condemn" (20) (21) = to Know + Against… to think ill of…
- Troubled, Dread of God, prayer hindered, No confidence!
App – In my experience as Pastor, two causes for Condemned Heart
1) My experience doesn't match the "Norm"
2) A "Big" Sin in my Past (How could I ever be accepted)
t/s – Living with a Condemned Heart is Torture!
ILL – John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress
- Christian find himself in a dungeon where a giant clubs him mercilessly, leaves him unable to move and causes him to contemplate suicide!
- Giant, "Despair" and Castle, "Doubting"
App – Such are some of You! Clubbed and rendered useless by Doubt
t/s – We do not have to live with a condemning Heart!!
How to Find Blessed Assurance… An Assured Hear…Set at Ease!
NOT Focusing on Our Feelings
- Common misunderstanding of this text.
"Assured Heart" = Saved
"Troubled" = Lost
Result, only the hard hearted have no Doubts!
Focus on the Facts and Let your Feelings Fall in Line
Vs. 19 & 24 – How can we Know that we are of the Truth, that
Jesus abides in us & we in Him by Spirit indwelling?
Read 23 again
Have I Embraced the Truth concerning Who Jesus Is and What Jesus Does?
"Name" = His revealed character
Do I Love One the People around Me (More than feelings…Deeds)
Do I Obey His Commandments….
Vs. 22 – Do the things that are pleasing in His Sight
ILL – "Just the Facts, Ma'am" (Dragnet)
App – John will not back away from his Simple approach.
Eternal Life (from Spirit) is Easy to Identify!
Repeat Three Questions
- Very Practical, measurable, observable, Objective!
John says, "You Can KNOW!"
If so, you can set your Heart at Rest before Him.
Focus on the Facts and Let your Feelings Fall in Line
ILL – Christian wallowed in the dungeon of Doubt & Despair for Days
What a fool I am to lie in a stinking dungeon when I can
Freely walk away! I have a key in my bosom called Promise,
That will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle.
He unlocked the prison door of Doubt with the key of Promise
And walked away free!

A last minute rush decided the winner for your favorite Billy Wilder film:
- Some Like It Hot: 6 votes
- The Apartment: 5 votes
- Sunset Blvd: 3 votes
- Double Indemnity: 1 vote
- Sabrina: 1 vote
- Stalag 17: 1 vote
- The Lost Weekend: 1 vote
The Apartment got off to a quick lead, but the screwball sensibilities of Some Like It Hot ended up prevailing after all. I guess I underestimated the fans of that film because I figured it would be a tossup between The Apartment and Sunset Blvd. Interesting results. Good to see others such as The Lost Weekend and Stalag 17 get votes as well.
This Week's Poll: With Magic Mike doing surprisingly well at the box office this weekend, I thought it would be fun to take a look at director Steven Soderbergh's filmography. With such a long and diverse career, I am curious to see what you guys select as his best film.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend! And Happy Canada Day to those up north!

42 U.S. Code § 6962 - Federal procurement
Application of section
Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a procuring agency shall comply with the requirements set forth in this section and any regulations issued under this section, with respect to any purchase or acquisition of a procurement item where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or where the quantity of such items or of functionally equivalent items purchased or acquired in the course of the preceding fiscal year was $10,000 or more.
Procurement subject to other law
Any procurement, by any procuring agency, which is subject to regulations of the Administrator under section
6964 of this title (as promulgated before October 21, 1976, under comparable provisions of prior law) shall not be subject to the requirements of this section to the extent that such requirements are inconsistent with such regulations.
After the date specified in applicable guidelines prepared pursuant to subsection (e) of this section, each procuring agency which procures any items designated in such guidelines shall procure such items composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable (and in the case of paper, the highest percentage of the postconsumer recovered materials referred to in subsection (h)(1) of this section practicable), consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, considering such guidelines. The decision not to procure such items shall be based on a determination that such procurement items—
Agencies that generate heat, mechanical, or electrical energy from fossil fuel in systems that have the technical capability of using energy or fuels derived from solid waste as a primary or supplementary fuel shall use such capability to the maximum extent practicable.
After the date specified in any applicable guidelines prepared pursuant to subsection (e) of this section, contracting officers shall require that vendors:
All Federal agencies that have the responsibility for drafting or reviewing specifications for procurement items procured by Federal agencies shall—
as expeditiously as possible but in any event no later than eighteen months after November 8, 1984, eliminate from such specifications—
within one year after the date of publication of applicable guidelines under subsection (e) of this section, or as otherwise specified in such guidelines, assure that such specifications require the use of recovered materials to the maximum extent possible without jeopardizing the intended end use of the item.
The Administrator, after consultation with the Administrator of General Services, the Secretary of Commerce (acting through the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and the Public Printer, shall prepare, and from time to time revise, guidelines for the use of procuring agencies in complying with the requirements of this section. Such guidelines shall—
designate those items which are or can be produced with recovered materials and whose procurement by procuring agencies will carry out the objectives of this section, and in the case of paper, provide for maximizing the use of post consumer recovered materials referred to in subsection (h)(1) of this section; and
set forth recommended practices with respect to the procurement of recovered materials and items containing such materials and with respect to certification by vendors of the percentage of recovered materials used,
and shall provide information as to the availability, relative price, and performance of such materials and items and where appropriate shall recommend the level of recovered material to be contained in the procured product. The Administrator shall prepare final guidelines for paper within one hundred and eighty days after November 8, 1984, and for three additional product categories (including tires) by October 1, 1985. In making the designation under paragraph (1), the Administrator shall consider, but is not limited in his considerations, to—
Procurement of services
A procuring agency shall, to the maximum extent practicable, manage or arrange for the procurement of solid waste management services in a manner which maximizes energy and resource recovery.
Executive Office
The Office of Procurement Policy in the Executive Office of the President, in cooperation with the Administrator, shall implement the requirements of this section. It shall be the responsibility of the Office of Procurement Policy to coordinate this policy with other policies for Federal procurement, in such a way as to maximize the use of recovered resources, and to, every two years beginning in 1984, report to the Congress on actions taken by Federal agencies and the progress made in the implementation of this section, including agency compliance with subsection (d) of this section.
"Recovered materials" defined
As used in this section, in the case of paper products, the term "recovered materials" includes—
postconsumer materials such as—
manufacturing, forest residues, and other wastes such as—
dry paper and paperboard waste generated after completion of the papermaking process (that is, those manufacturing operations up to and including the cutting and trimming of the paper machine reel into smaller rolls or rough sheets) including: envelope cuttings, bindery trimmings, and other paper and paperboard waste, resulting from printing, cutting, forming, and other converting operations; bag, box, and carton manufacturing wastes; and butt rolls, mill wrappers, and rejected unused stock; and
finished paper and paperboard from obsolete inventories of paper and paperboard manufacturers, merchants, wholesalers, dealers, printers, converters, or others;
fibrous byproducts of harvesting, manufacturing, extractive, or wood-cutting processes, flax, straw, linters, bagasse, slash, and other forest residues;
Procurement program
Within one year after the date of publication of applicable guidelines under subsection (e) of this section, each procuring agency shall develop an affirmative procurement program which will assure that items composed of recovered materials will be purchased to the maximum extent practicable and which is consistent with applicable provisions of Federal procurement law.
Each affirmative procurement program required under this subsection shall, at a minimum, contain—
a program for requiring estimates of the total percentage of recovered material utilized in the performance of a contract; certification of minimum recovered material content actually utilized, where appropriate; and reasonable verification procedures for estimates and certifications; and
annual review and monitoring of the effectiveness of an agency's affirmative procurement program.
In the case of paper, the recovered materials preference program required under subparagraph (A) shall provide for the maximum use of the post consumer recovered materials referred to in subsection (h)(1) of this section.
In developing the preference program, the following options shall be considered for adoption:
Case-by-Case Policy Development: Subject to the limitations of subsection (c)(1)(A) through (C) of this section, a policy of awarding contracts to the vendor offering an item composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable (and in the case of paper, the highest percentage of the post consumer recovered materials referred to in subsection (h)(1) of this section). Subject to such limitations, agencies may make an award to a vendor offering items with less than the maximum recovered materials content.

Stuffed Grilled Chicken Recipe
"As a single working mom with two kids, I look for recipes that are fast and simple," writes Candi VanMeveren from Lamberton, Minnesota. "My family loves this one and it gets me out of the kitchen fast." TIP: This recipe is just as delicious broiled, Candi adds. Place chicken on foil-lined pan (for easy cleanup) about 4 inches from heat for 12 minutes on each side.
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- In a small skillet, saute onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons butter for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; stir in bread crumbs. Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast half. Fill with bread crumb mixture; secure with metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining butter; stir in lemon peel. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting frequently with lemon butter. Yield: 4 servings.

Real Maryland Crabcakes are Back on the Menu (Gluten & Dairy-Free)!
Categories: All, Main Dishes, Recipes
Tags: , Allergy Friendly, Dairy Free, Dinner, Egg Free, GFCF, Meals, Seafood
I'll admit it: I'm a bit of a crab snob.
I'm lucky that I never did care for that fake "krab" ubiquitous to California Rolls, so now that I'm gluten free, I don't have to worry that there is wheat in most all of those "crab sticks" (although I did recently find a gluten-free crab stick product in Wegman's grocery store, it is quite rare and best to just avoid it all together).
I stick to the good stuff – it's a good rule, don't you think?
Whether you pick your own crabs or buy lump, backfin or claw, you'll want to save the good stuff for these crabcakes because it's really all about the crab in this recipe, just as it should be!
Filler is something you shouldn't notice in a crabcake. Whether you use finely crushed corn tortilla chips, make your own gluten-free breadcrumbs from a frozen loaf of GF bread, or buy brown rice bread crumbs, the resulting crab cake shouldn't taste like any of them.
I guess that's why I have never understood why restaurants (or friends and family, for that matter!) seem to have such a hard time with the concept of gluten-free crabcakes. To me, this is one of those no-brainer ingredient changes that does not change the final product … unless the original recipe was too heavy on filler to begin with!
So the next time you're faced with a well-meaning chef or friend who protests that making their "secret" crabcake recipe just wouldn't be the same if it was gluten-free, you may want to suggest that they are using too much filler …. otherwise, why would they have a problem switching such a minor ingredient to gluten-free? Hmmmmmmmm … ; )
Enjoy these crabcakes the way a crabcake was meant to be: good crab with a lot of spice and only a little filler.
(P.S. – If you prefer your crabcakes without any crab – aka vegetarian – I have a fantastic recipe for you in my new cookbook, Free for All Cooking: 150 Easy Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Recipes the Whole Family Can Enjoy)
- 1 ½ pounds lump crabmeat (cleaned)
- 4 large eggs (or egg sub: use just enough vegan mayonnaise like Earth Balance Mindful Mayo OR soy or dairy sour cream to hold crabcake together)
- 1/8 cup minced red onions
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley or Italian parsley
- 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ¼ – ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
- Old Bay Seasoning, to taste (at least 1 Tbs.)
- ½ tsp. dried mustard (or 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard)
- 1 tsp.+/- Tabasco sauce (optional) or Cackalacky zesty sweet potato sauce!
- ¾ cup gluten-free breadcrumbs* or crushed gluten-free corn tortilla chips or corn flakes
*Make your own gluten-free breadcrumbs using any gluten-free bread. Slice and toast bread, then process in a food processor or blender until fine crumbs are formed. Freeze extra breadcrumbs for later recipes by storing in a zip-top bag.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Pick through crab meat to ensure no shells remain. Clean, drain and set aside.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir eggs, onion, spices, mustard and Tobasco. Add crab meat and stir gently with a fork. Slowly add gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed chips or cereal – adding only enough to help the mixture stay together in patties when formed.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining with aluminum foil then spraying lightly with cooking oil.
Divide mixture into approximately 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Place on the oiled foil, spaced apart from one another by at least 1 inch.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then test to ensure the internal temperature is 165 F. Add bake time if necessary to ensure they are cooked through, then switch the bake setting to broil and monitor for another 3-5 minutes while broiling to lightly brown the tops.
Remove and serve over salad greens or on a gluten-free bun for a crabcake sandwich!
(Note: Crabcakes may be fried instead, if you prefer. Cover the bottom of a large skillet with high-heat cooking oil and heat to medium-high. Place patties in the hot oil and fry for approximately 3 minutes per side. Internal temperature should reach 165 F. Remove to drain onto paper towel-lined plates before serving).

We Southern girls do love our crabcakes, don't we? These look DEEEVINE, Jules. I like the little bit of red onion. Must make soon–thanks, dear!
Jules said: on July 12, 2011
You know it, Shirley!
Colette Martin said: on July 11, 2011
Nice! It's so hard to find seafood that isn't coated with wheat. Thanks for this!
Jules said: on July 12, 2011
Colette – I agree! If the seafood is good, it shouldn't be covered up!
Derik said: on July 11, 2011
Any thoughts on how to make them without the egg too?
Jules said: on July 12, 2011
Derik – thanks for pointing that out! I'll go back now and add that egg sub. It's easy in a recipe like this to sub out eggs by using sour cream (soy or dairy) or mayo (egg-free). I like Earth Balance's new Mindful Mayo as an egg-free option here. You just need something wet to hold the crab together, so even milk could work in a pinch!
stephanie @ gluten free by nature said: on July 11, 2011
Oh boy – I am now in the middle of NJ jones-ing for some crab ! What's a girl to do? These look absolutely fabulous:)
I love how you put so much parsley in there. And the addition of mustard is a winner!
miss you and hope you're enjoying the beach
ps – I LOVED your news video – totally awesome !
Jules said: on July 13, 2011
Stephanie – I can't wait until we get together for GF Blogger Reunion II and can make these together — egg-free, too!! : )
So glad you loved the video! Me too! I think it's so hopeful to see all that yummy food made gluten-free … all in one place. There really is nothing we can't do!
Claire said: on July 16, 2011
Are you saying that the
"Gluten-free fake "krab" from Wegman's … a rare find. Stick with the real thing to be safe!"Is not good …. I am confused by the above statement
Jules said: on July 16, 2011
Claire, sorry to cause any confusion. Yes – the gluten-free fake "krab" from Wegman's is a rare find – I've never seen any restaurants use anything but the fake "krab" that contains wheat. To be safe, steer clear of any fake "krab" or anything called "Crab Stick" unless you see the package and can be sure it's gluten-free.
Sheri said: on July 19, 2011
We have a restaurant in our area that has real crab crabcakes on their gluten free menu and they are AMAZING–mostly because there is very little filler and all you can taste is crab. However, I could go broke eating there every time I have a hankering for crab, so I was very excited to see this recipe today! Especially since the doc told me last Friday that dairy is now verboten along with the already axed gluten. Perfect timing, Jules! (I'll be ordering that cookbook ASAP.)
Deborah Mickel said: on December 14, 2011
Jules, would it be a sin to used canned crabmeat? Living inland, cannot always find fresh seafood or something affordable.
Jules said: on December 14, 2011
No way, Deborah – you use what you have! Obviously, the better, fresher the crabmeat, the better the results, but there is no reason not to use high quality canned crabmeat if that's what you have available! This recipe is too good to pass up just because you're super picky! (pun intended!)
Sherrie said: on February 13, 2012
These are the best crabcakes I have ever tasted, and I consider myself a "crabcake conoisseur"!!
Jules said: on February 15, 2012
Awesome, Sherrie!!!
LISA said: on May 24, 2012
Can you tell me the details of the manufacturer of the gluten free surimi? I am in Florida and have been unable to find it here. Thanks
Tina said: on January 8, 2013
Making this for my anniversary dinner. I'm newly gluten free, and this looks divine. Thanks for sharing with us!
Jules said: on January 9, 2013
Oh, Happy Anniversary Tina!!! Enjoy the recipe – crabcakes are supposed to be all about the crab, not the filler, so you'll love this recipe, I'm sure!

In the wake of the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy, it's not difficult to imagine the damage that's possible when the power grid is disrupted. But natural disasters aren't the only threats looming over the electrical grid. According to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a cyber attack on the US power grid could be more destructive than superstorm Sandy, costing not only hundreds of billions of dollars, but also thousands of lives.
As a response to this threat, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has increased regulatory requirements in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). But with cyber security standards rapidly evolving, maintaining compliance and protecting systems from cyber attacks becomes increasingly problematic, especially when faced with more sophisticated and more numerous offensives. In a recent interview with marcus evans, John D. Rhea, Compliance Officer and Attorney for OGE Energy shared his personal perspective on meeting CIP standards.
While Rhea provided a strategy for meeting NERC CIP standards (namely standardizing documentation and assigning individuals to each facet of compliance), his most exhaustive point dealt with the relationship between CIP compliance and actual cyber security. "In order for a utility to meet its responsibilities in each realm its compliance and security groups must work hand in hand," said Rhea. "Most of the NERC CIP standards are rightfully focused on prevention, but as the Stuxnet virus showed, preventing the attack is not always possible. Since it is not always possible or affordable to eliminate every threat, the quick detection of a successful penetration and the immediate elimination of the threat is at least as important.
As for the future of CIP (extending beyond version 5), Rhea believes the goal lies in customization rather than a one-size-fits-all set of rules. This should allow the focus to fall on resolving vulnerabilities unique to each utility.
Perhaps future versions will bridge the gap between compliance and genuine security, helping the US to stymie the sort of attack the NAS warned of.

Here is an excerpt from the official Social Security website:
"The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are the largest of several Federal programs that provide assistance to people with disabilities ... both are administered by the Social Security Administration and only individuals who have a disability and meet medical criteria may qualify for benefits under either program. Social Security Disability Insurance pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you are "insured," meaning that you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. Supplemental Security Income pays benefits based on financial need. When you apply for either program, we will collect medical and other information from you and make a decision about whether or not you meet Social Security's definition of disability. Use the Benefits Eligibility Screening Tool to find out which programs may be able to pay you benefits. If your application has recently been denied, the Internet Appeal is a starting point to request a review of our decision about your eligibility for disability benefits. If your application is denied for Medical reasons, you can complete and submit the required Appeal Request and Appeal Disability Report online. The disability report asks you for updated information about your medical condition and any treatment, tests or doctor visits since we made our decision ... You also may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, to request an appeal."
