Operation Summary for October 17, 2011 - October 19, 2011 |
Monday October 17 The day shift began with Operations monitoring protons in the Recycler (1.2E10), with the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, and with the NuMI and MiniBooNE experiments taking beam. During the day shift, Linac personnel began a 10 MeV study at 8:55 AM; this study interrupted beam at times. Operations established beam to the Meson FTBF experiment T-992 at 10:25 AM. At 11:15 AM, operators reported that a Booster RF station (BRF14) tripped off for the first of four times in about three hours due to sparking. At 2:49 PM, Operations turned off beam to MI for three minutes so that a Power Supply person could work on a Lambertson (LAM42). Operators loaded protons into the Antiproton Source (Pbar) Accumulator at 3:40 PM for a study. During the evening shift, A Mechanical Support engineer reported at 4:35 PM that he had raised the MI-62 LCW supply temperature from 85˚ F to 90˚ F; this was done to try and resolve the NuMI magnet (HV101) trips on high temperature. The Pbar Accumulator study ended at 6:17 PM. At 8:42 PM, BRF7 tripped off; it reset. Operations disabled beam to T-992 at 10 PM. Operators conducted a Booster injection tune at 11:03 PM. At 11:20 PM, BRF12 tripped off; it reset. Tuesday October 18 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring protons in the Recycler (2.9E10), and with the NuMI and MiniBooNE experiments taking beam. During the midnight shift, at 1:57 AM, MIRF18 tripped off for the first of seven times in three and a half hours; it reset. Operators adjusted the station's feed forward setting. At 3:56 AM, BRF7 tripped off for the first of twelve times in about an hour and a half; it reset. Operators adjusted the station's modulator voltage. At 6:56 AM, BRF7 tripped off three times within a minute; it reset. Neutron Therapy Facility (NTF) personnel began at 7:35 AM preparing for treating a patient later in the morning. A RF person began work on BRF7 at 7:57 AM. During the day shift, at 8:26 AM, LAM42 tripped off; it reset. Operations established beam to T-992 at 10:01 AM. Pbar personnel began a study at noon. LAM42 tripped off at 1:49 PM; it reset. MI personnel began a bunch rotation study at 2:34 PM; this study lowered NuMI's beam intensity. Pbar personnel ended their study at 3:47 PM. Linac and Booster personnel also conducted studies during this shift. During the evening shift, Booster personnel completed their study at 5:12 PM. At 5:45 PM, LAM42 tripped off for the first of four times in about four hours; it reset. At 8:26 PM, a Linac Klystron RF cavity (KRF5) suffered a vacuum burst; BRF14 and 15 tripped off due to bad beam positions caused by the burst; everything reset. Operations disabled beam to T-992 at 8:30 PM; this ended their current run at Fermilab. Wednesday October 19 The midnight shift began with Operations sending beam to the NuMI and MiniBooNE experiments. During the midnight shift, at 1:13 AM, operators prepared Switchyard for a scheduled access later in the morning. Operations turned off the MiniBooNE beam at 6:05 AM for an access that will occur later in the morning. At 6:17 AM, Operators prepared the Meson enclosure M03 for access later in the morning. Operations Coordinator (OPSCO) Plans for Today The plans for today are to end all machine access by noon and then resume normally operations. |

I had previously stated that Southern Tier IPA was my favorite as far as India pale ales are concered, but I stand corrected.
I was turned to this particular brewing company late last year at a beer and wine convention here in Illinois, and this beer stood out against many competitors.
Pegasus IPA is the best and smoothest IPA that Iv'e ever had.
If your looking for a smooth India Pale Ale without all of the bitterness and bite, look no further.
This beer is awesome, and is my personal favorite.
A big thumbs up and kudos to Argus Brewers out of Chi-town for making the best IPA Iv'e ever had.
Also, this is one of the rare beers Iv'e had that actually comes very close to tasting as good in a bottle that it does on tap.
The mouthful effect loses a bit vs tap to bottle, but otherwise, the taste is right there.

I had this on tap at the newly opened Ballydoyle's Irish Pub in Bloomingdale, IL. I never saw anything by this brewery before so I was doubly surprised to not only find it on the menu but to then discover it was from a local brewery right here in Chicago.
Served in it's own Pegasus pint glass.
The beer poured a clear reddish brown color with a 1½ finger creamy beige head. Lots of spider webbed lacing clung to the glass as I drank it. Not a bad look.
The smell was all hops - both floral and citrus.
While the hops did dominate the flavor, there was also a significant amount of caramely sweet malt in here to cut down on the grapefruit and piny hop bitterness.
Smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel. Medium bodied with only moderate carbonation.
High drinkability. No alcohol taste at all. I liked it so much I ordered another one.

Dark brown, slight lacing, small head
Strong malt and hop present, toasted scents
Wonderfully balanced blend of bitterness and bite. Roasted malt flavoring, lingers
One of my favorite IPAs that even rivals the 60 min IPA for my affection. There's a strong hop/malt/bitter presence but not overly so, its strong yet drinkable. I've never had it in a bottle, only on tap many…many times.

Received in beer trade from cousin in Illinois:
Into a pint glass:
A: dark brown colored body and left a film of a head that barely lasted ten seconds. Minimal ringy lacing appeared and slid slowly down the sides of the glass.
S: malts pushing slightly forward than the hops.
T: centered around the malts as well, hops are still there, but more subdued.
M: medium with an all around goodness on my tongue, sessionable.
O: for me, I liked it, but probably not an American IPA, most likely an English IPA (its all semantics, but no big deal to me).

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Dark brown. Tons of nice foam and decent lacing of the glass. Almost like light Guinness Draught (not red though).
Smell: Heavily hopped. Almost smells like some cinnamon as well. Good. A bit burnt.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Like the smell, it tastes heavily hopped. Good clean mouthfeel that doesn't feel or taste watery at all. Once again, good. This batch was skunked or burned.
Drinkability: Delicious pub ale. Goes great with any pub grub. I'm basing this on two experiences with this beer. The first time was better, but it's stilll a great session beer.
Overall: I prefer this a tad over the McCaffery's Irish Cream Ale that Argus Brewery produces. Definitely a good beer!

It's better if you don't think of it as an American IPA. It tastes more like an English IPA, but heavier. Maybe an Americanized English bitter...low carbonation, but a lot of hop character for a bitter.
Like other reviewers, I was expecting an American IPA when I ordered it. But readjusting my expectations, it's a decent low carbonation beer for a hot afternoon.
And as the keg just blew and I'm sitting in front of the tap, I am now wearing it as it violently splashed all over me. As far as beer goes, it is extremely wearable.
Second (free) pint, as the new keg also resulted in a splash effect, which is good because it didn't get my shoulders enough the first time.
More carbonation from the fresh keg, but still low carbonation, and still not at all an American IPA. I stand by the initial impressions, but what little carbonation there is seems forced. This would be a great beer on cask. I am lowering the mouthfeel score slightly as I preferred the bottom of the keg pint.

Pours a depp ruby red color. Pretty much no head. Sweep carmel malt smell, a bit of fruitiness.
Rather clean entry, ripe fruits, carmel malts. A little grapefruit bittering - but fails to overtake the big sweet maltiness.
A flavorful beer. For an IPA, seems dark and sweet. Lacks full bittering as a balance to the sweet malts. Considering by style, that seems a bit off - but nothing off on flavor profile here. I would call this more of a red ale.
For a new brewery - a decent effort.

Saw this at Binny's Willowbrook today, brewed in Chicago by a family from Burr Ridge, very very local...
12oz bottle poured into an imperial pint glass, no freshness dating but supposedly this batch was bottled less than a week ago...
Pours a nice dark red/copper color, very clear, I guess I like a little haze in my APA's/IPA's. Two fingers of light tan head forms, sticks around for a bit and recedes to a thin layer of haze...
Was hoping to get a better aroma out of this one, unfortunately the malt takes center stage here and not the hops. Caramel and toffee, a bit sweet with just a touch of hop bittering...
Taste is a bit better than the nose would indicate. Good balance between subtle piny hops and the somewhat sweet malts...
Nice and clean, medium bodied with decent carbonation. No lingering bitterness, finishes clean and crisp and is very easy to drink...
Not bad. Always like trying a new local, and this one is both very new and very local. Good initial offering by Argus Brewery, I look forward to seeing how they develop over the coming months...

Poured from 12oz. bottle into a 10oz Old Milwaukee glass (aka not the best glass)
A: Pours a dark bronze/amber color with about a centimeter and a half of head. Very little lacing left after head recedes. A bit too dark for an IPA, but not bad overall.
S: Not much aroma in my opinion. I can faintly smell the hops.
T: Very malt and caramel driven with a bitterness from the hops that becomes increasingly straight forward after a few seconds. Bitterness sticks around in the mouth for a little bit. Not bad at all in my opinion, however.
M: Very smooth and goes down very nicely, a bit of a bite from the hops.
O: This beer doesn't necassarily fit all of the characteristics of an IPA perfectly,for example it is slightly lacking on the hops, but I actually did enjoy it quite a bit. Overall, I think it is a pretty good beer that I would order again.

Served in a flared pokal at Bliss.
After this second offering, I wonder if we're gonna be seeing more of Argus here at Bliss in the future...? Regardless, this stuff pours a clear orange-brass topped by a finger of dirty white foam. The nose comprises honeydew rind, mentholated pine, toffee, and a touch of buttery biscuit. The taste brings in more of the same, with the toffee taking on more of a rich caramel character, which comes fairly close to balancing the hops completely. The body is a rather light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, a pretty decent IPA, straight up, just nothing all that impressive.

Trying the Argus IPA...my first from this brewer. The beer poured a darker rich clear amber with thin white head that is leaving a slight lace. The smell unfortunately is not more than average....there is definitely a floral tone to the scent...i'm think columbus hops...not sure. The taste definitely is more floral than citrus...in fact I am not picking up much citrus. Maybe on the backend there is some bitterness. The mouthfeel is good medium body decent carbonation. Overall....slightly dissappointed...but it would not keep me from drinking again. It is a decent beer.

Appears a transparent amber with a small white cap that slowly fades into a mild cap. Spotty bits of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of perfumy, herbal, spiced hops.
Taste is very mild with notes of toasted nuts pulling through with cracked grains and cereal. I thought it was a decent beer but I was looking for a more complex beer being that this beer is based off of a Colorado brewery's recipe.

The color is a dep copper and amber hue with a little ruby darkening the color palate. There's very little bubbling and just a little head and residual foam.
Nice malty IPA aroma. The heavy toasted malt makes me think of caramel drizzled sweet bread. The mild bitter orange peel adds nice contrast to the sweet malty aroma.
Syrupy orange, hop resin that gets musked up by a little B.O. in the tongue. Not overwhelming, the B.O. flavor, just subtlely off-putting. The middle and finish is all caramel malt, sweet biscuits, and Wonderbread crust finish this AIPA off with a sweet finish.

Appearance -- Pours a ruby red with pink and gold highlights and a finger of sudsy beige head.
Smell -- Tropical fruits, mild earthy bitterness, toasted malt, a dab of caramel sweetness.
Taste -- Grapefruit and pineapple up front along with dry and toasty malt. The hop bitterness is pretty significant in the mid-palate. Pine resin and caramel malt in the finish.
Mouthfeel -- Medium-bodied, moderate prickly carbonation. Finish is clean, a bit dry.
Drinkability -- Noble first effort for a new Chicago brewery. Definitely worth a shot.

Finally found a single of this at R & J Liquors in Algonquin.
"1339" Julian date inked on the bottom of the bottle, roughly 3 months old.
Served in a tulip glass, it glows a dark crystalline copper color. An initial head of foam, fairly thin and feeble, forming a collar around the edges. Perfectly transparent despite the deep saturated color, darker than most IPAs.
Bready and malty aroma with some vegetal traces that may have once been hops. Subdued and fairly dull for an "American IPA", if English i'd take it, but this is just weak.
Caramel and toast, light indistinct notes of dried fruit. Very slight residual bitterness, as if designed for mass appeal instead of IPA fans. Fairly light and smooth, malt dominated, light carbonation like an ESB or English Pale.
From the label notes it sounds like they just tweaked a recipe from Smugglers Brewpub. Not surprising really... not much about this stands out, but there are few flaws other than lack of hops.

A vigorous pour produces a nice big frothy white head over what looks to be a red ale. Head dissipates quickly. Smells nice, kind of light pine, but not a big nose on this one. Head completely disappears before I can get my lips to this one. Very light flavor, not a big hop presence(too bad) almost macro like. Crisp and light. I think this would make a good lawn mower beer. Not to light and most certainly not to heavy. Not as hoppy as I like, but drinkable. A big thank you goes out to Lucas at Malloy's for this sample.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a 20oz imperial pint. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!
A: Pours a striking dark ruby with two fingers of sticky, rocky head. Retention was excellent with a small amount of lace left behind.
S: Lots of caramel and toasted grains. Very malt forward. The hops that struggle through smell quite medicinal.
T: Just as above. Aspirin-y hops and loads of sweet caramel and toasty malt.
M: Very smooth with nary a trace of hoppy bite.
O: We couldn't get over how totally average this beer was. Seemed to patterned after mid-1990's IPA's that were put out by now shuttered breweries. Sorry guys, but the bar has been raised considerably...get with the program.

12oz bottle picked up and drank as soon as the bottles hit the shelves in chicago. always excited to try another local IPA. drank out of my sierra nevada hop tulip glass.
A- this one pours out a darker than expected translucent reddish amber colored body with a small eggshell colored head on top. the head is quick to fade and leaves behind random spots of lacing.
S- sweet caramel malts are the first things that i notice. after that comes some traces of hops. a little bit of floral and a tiny touch of grapefruit. not really what i was hoping for.
T- the caramel malt comes on strong. probably a little too strong given the hop profile. a little bit of floral and grapefruit. sadly in balance.
M- medium bodied. highly carbonated. little flavor left behind after i swallow.
D- this wasnt what i was after at all. i probably wont be checking it out again.

Tried on a Whim at Ballydoyle Pub. Chicago has better breweries.
A- Somewhere between amber and orange, decent 1 inch head
S- Almost no hop aroma, dunked my nose trying to catch a whiff of hops.
T- More pale ale than IPA; average hop flavor bookended by underwhelming malt. Slight hop aftertaste.
M- Aggressive initial carbonation gives way to light (perhaps "smooth") mouthful.
D- Average Pale Ale (I really wouldn't class this as an IPA). definitely drinkable, but anything by Two Brothers is a much better option : )

Bottle poured into pint glass
Appearance: Really sad. It's a clear amber with no head to speak of. Sort of looks like soda.
Smell: Weird light metallic scent. Hops and malt scent are also very light. So far this brew is striking out.
Taste: Tastes kind of like soy sauce, paper, hops, mixed in with an amber beer. On a second taste, it sort of tastes like tea might be in this beer. Hops give the beer a citrus/grapefruit and earthy flavor.
Drinkability: I really wanted to like this beer. I'm from chicago and I love seeing new craft breweries set up so I was quick to buy this when I found out about it. But I'm really disappointed in this beer. It's not a bad beer, but it is a less than average quality beer. It's not that this beer needs more malt character or hops, it needs to be re-evaluated completely. I would even say this is a good first try. If I'd made this at home I toss the whole batch.

i'm from chicago. i love all of the craft breweries opening up, and, needless to say, i pick them all up. but, this is the weakest craft brew by far.
if this was marketed as a weak amber ale with a slight hop finish, i might be less inclined to dislike it. i just don't sense any IPA qualities.

Had on tap....
So you are going to name your beer after the mighty Pegasus huh? That winged horse had a lot of Greek mythology backing it up. Lets see if these brewers had enough knowledge to back up this devine name of a beer.
A- Pegasus was a white horse...unlike this beer which was more of reddish coppery color. Maybe it's trying to look more along the lines of the blood that was spilt when Perseus beheaded Medusa from which Pegasus sprang forth? I'm guessing no on that one. It did have a one finger white head though that showed medium retention. Some light streaks of lace on the glass made me realize that if Zeus was drinking this beer he sure as hell wouldn't have put it in the sky as a constellation.
S- Hint of tropical hops in the front. This is quickly left behind as caramel malts with light toasted malts (must be from carrying Zeus's lightning bolts for so long)making up most of the actual aroma. The aroma is very muted dare I say a little watered down (I suppose that's what you get for hanging out with Poseidon). Alcohol really isn't there as well.
T- I wasn't too keen on tasting it to be honest at this point. I mean everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth. If that's not screaming watered down I don't know what is. Just like I thought....initial sip is light watery citrus hops. This fades quickly to a caramel malt body that dominates the rest of the beer like Bellerophon did to the Chimera while riding Pegasus. Some hints of toasted malt and light bittering hops in the ending don't make up for the lack of really any flavor at all. Alcohol is actually quite noticable in the end being a little on the medicinal side.
M- Light medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little on the low side. Light caramel malts and hints of hops left on the palate show up once again in the aftertaste with more of a medicinal alcohol lingering. Flavors were very weak for the style and didn't hold up (unlike the mythology of the actual Pegasus...I mean come one look at the stars). No real off flavors just watery (which I guess they used as a tribute to Pegasus). Light alcohol drying on the palate.
O- I think the beer name should have been looked at again. I could see it being called Icarus for example. I mean they set their sites high I would guess with this beer but it just fell to its death quite quickly. Oddly enough the story of Icarus deals with water as well...just like this watered down IPA. Nice try but a insult overall I feel to the Pegasus legacy.

[JURIST] The UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon [official website] will begin work on March 1, according to the Tribunal's Registrar, Robin Vincent [official profile, PDF]. The March 1 start date for the court, established at the request of the Lebanese government after the February 14, 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri [JURIST news archive], will coincide with the scheduled arrival of prosecutor Daniel Bellemare [Ya Libnan profile] in The Hague. In a televised interview on Monday, Vincent said that in May, the Tribunal will ask the Lebanese government to transfer four generals [Daily Star report] being held on suspicion of involvement in Hariri's assassination to the court's custody.The Special Tribunal will consist of 11 international and Lebanese judges, be based at The Hague and have a budget of $51 million for its first year [JURIST reports]. While no indictments have been issued, Bellemare, a Canadian prosecutor who headed the International Independent Investigation Commission (IIIC) [authorizing resolution; UN materials], believes a criminal network was behind the plot [JURIST report]. The investigation has increased tensions between Lebanon and Syria as several IIIC reports have implicated Syrian officials in Hariri's death [JURIST report].
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] decided three cases Tuesday. The Court ruled 7-2 in United States v. Hayes [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that a federal gun law [18 USC § 922(g)(9), text] that prohibits anyone convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from possessing a firearm does not require that a domestic relationship between an attacker and victim be a specific element of the crime. Hayes, a West Virginia man arrested for owning a firearm ten years after pleading guilty to the misdemeanor battery of his wife, argued that because the statute specifically mentioned domestic battery crimes, applying it to general crimes would unfairly subject an offender to additional criminal charges. Reversing an earlier decision [opinion, PDF] by the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website], the Court held that Congress' intent in writing the law was mostly likely to focus on the wrongful actions of the offender rather than the particular charges of which they had been convicted:
Most sensibly read, then, §921(a)(33)(A) defines misdemeanor crime of domestic violence as a misdemeanor offense that (1) has, as an element, the use [of force], and (2) is committed by a person who has a specified domestic relationship with the victim. To obtain a conviction in a §922(g)(9) prosecution, the Government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim of the predicate offense was the defendants current or former spouse or was related to the defendant in another specified way. But that relationship, while it must be established, need not be denominated an element of the predicate offense.
[w]hile publicly administered payroll deductions for political purposes can enhance the unions exercise of First Amendment rights, Idaho is under no obligation to aid the unions in their political activities. And the States decision not to do so is not an abridgment of the unions speech; they are free to engage in such speech as they see fit. They simply are barred from enlisting the State in support of that endeavor.
[the IRA] limits the Secretarys authority to taking land into trust for the purpose of providing land to members of a tribe that was under federal jurisdiction when the IRA was enacted in June 1934. Because the record in this case establishes that the Narragansett Tribe was not under federal jurisdiction when the IRA was enacted, the Secretary does not have the authority to take the parcel at issue into trust.
[JURIST] US Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers on Monday asked the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official websites] to revisit a January decision in which a three-judge panel ruled [JURIST report] that indefinite civil commitment of "sexually dangerous" offenders was unconstitutional. The DOJ now seeks an en banc ruling [AP report] on the case, and is disputing the panel's holding [opinion, PDF] that civil commitment powers belong to the states. The government had unsuccessfully argued that federal power of civil commitment came from the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause [texts].January's ruling invalidated part of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act [text], which also established a national sex offender registry [JURIST report]. This month, a federal district court ruled the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006 (SORNA) [DOJ backgrounder], which imposes penalties for failing to register, was also unconstitutional [JURIST report] under the Commerce Clause.
[JURIST] US Attorney General Eric Holder [official website; JURIST news archive] visited the Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] military prison on Monday as part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] review of the suspended military commission system established to try the detainees. During his visit, Holder reviewed cases against specific detainees, toured the facilities which had housed the military commission proceedings, and was joined by newly-appointed [DOJ release] Guantanamo Detainee Review Task Force (GDRTF) Executive Director Matthew Olsen. In a Friday release announcing Olsen's appointment and the creation of GDRTF, Holden said that Olsen will be responsible for reviewing each detainee's case and coordinating the government's actions accordingly:
As a leader of the Departments National Security Division and 12-year career federal prosecutor, Mr. Olsen has the experience and judgment to lead the teams evaluation of these individual cases... Weve established a solid framework for the administration to make the right decision on each individual detainee -- decisions that will most effectively serve the interests of justice and the national security and foreign policy objectives of the United States.
[JURIST] The US Department of Defense Monday officially released its anticipated report [text, PDF; JURIST report] on detainee treatment at Guantanamo Bay in compliance with President Barack Obama's January 22 executive order [text] mandating the review [JURIST report]. As expected, the report concluded that conditions at the prison "are in conformity with Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions." The report made several recommendations to improve conditions, however, including increasing detainee-to-detainee contact, better training for guards, easier detainee access to health care services and video recording of interrogations. Introducing the report at a Pentagon press conference [transcript], review head and Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Patrick Walsh [official profile; JURIST report], was careful to distinguish between possible past violations of the Geneva Conventions and the current situation at the facility: "In each case where there were violations the command took appropriate action, and there was discipline and accountability and that is what we are looking for here". Walsh's report was immediately attacked by the Center for Constitutional Rights [advocacy website] which released its own report [text] detailing alleged violations at Guantanamo Bay and calling for an end to abusive practices. The review and the executive order are seen as significant steps towards fulfillment of Obama's pledge to shut down [JURIST report] Guantanamo Bay within a year of taking office.
[JURIST] The Swiss Green Party [official website, in French] has collected enough signatures to force a referendum [link to text, multilingual] on whether the country's service members should be required to keep their government-issued firearms at military compounds. The Green Party has denounced [position statement, in French] the current practice of permitting the storage of weapons at home:
An impressive number of military weapons lie unused in Swiss cellars. No usage, whether military or sports-related, justifies their presence in the midst of the population. Far from protecting the people, these weapons represent a risk for their safety. Easily available, they contribute to increased suicides and murders.
[JURIST] Former Russian oil executive Mikhail Khodorkovsky [defense website, JURIST news archive] was transferred to Moscow on Tuesday to face new charges [JURIST report] of embezzlement and theft, according to court officials. Platon Lebedev [defense website], Khodorkovsky's former partner at OAO Yukos Oil Co. [TIME backgrounder], was also transferred to Moscow from the Siberian region of Chita, where both men have been serving prison sentences following their convictions [JURIST report] for fraud and tax evasion in 2005. Critics have said that these charges are politically motivated due to Khodorkovsky's opposition of former Russian president Vladimir Putin [JURIST news archives]. Their transfer was ordered [JURIST report] last week by a judge for the District Court in Moscow and preliminary hearings [Moscow Times report] are set for March 3.Khodorkovsky is currently serving an eight-year sentence, although he maintains that he is innocent. He requested early release last July, but his application was rejected [JURIST reports] in August because he disobeyed guards at the Krasnokamensk penal colony [Guardian backgrounder], refused to participate in a training program, and faced the possibility of additional charges. Khodorkovsky has appealed [JURIST report] that decision.
[JURIST] US District Judge Samuel Kent [official profile] pleaded guilty on Monday to obstruction of justice charges in connection with the alleged sexual harassment of his secretary and former case manager. The plea agreement included an admission that the sexual conduct was not consensual, in exchange for dropping five other counts of inappropriate sexual conduct with employees. The prosecution also agreed to limit Kent's prison sentence to three years, even though obstruction of justice is punishable by a sentence of up to 20 years. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] issued a statement [press release] describing the agreement in detail:
As part of his plea, Kent admitted that in both 2003 and 2007, he engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with Person A. He also admitted that he engaged in non-consensual contact with Person B from 2004 through at least 2005. According to court documents, when Person A filed a misconduct complaint against Kent, the Fifth Circuit appointed a committee to investigate whether Kent had engaged in unwanted sexual contact with Person A or any other individuals. Kent admitted that when he appeared before the committee in June 2007, he falsely testified about his conduct with Person B.
[JURIST] The International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] announced [public notice, text] Monday that a long-awaited decision on a controversial arrest warrant [JURIST news archive] sought for Sudanese head of state Omar al-Bashir [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] would be rendered on March 4. The court said that "[c]onsidering that there have been numerous rumors over the past weeks on the possible date and outcome of this decision [and that]... this Chamber is deeply concerned about such rumors...", it would issue its ruling on the matter publicly. Earlier this month, the New York Times reported that the warrant had been issued, leading court official to quickly issue a denial [JURIST report]. In an effort to promote Darfur peace talks, Egypt Sunday called on the ICC to postpone its decision [JURIST report] on the arrest warrant. Sudan and the African Union [JURIST reports] have also called for the proceedings against al-Bashir to be delayed. The warrant ruling is in connection with preliminary charges [text, PDF] against al-Bashir filed by ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in July 2008 alleging genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed in the Darfur region in violation of Articles 6, 7, and 8 of the Rome Statute [text]. Al-Bashir is accused of systematically targeting and purging the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa, three Arabic-speaking ethnic groups, under the pretext of counterinsurgency since 2003. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has already urged al-Bashir to comply [JURIST report] with the forthcoming ICC decision.
[JURIST] US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia [official profile, PDF] on Monday dissented [text, PDF] from the Court's denial of certiorari to a Chicago federal corruption case. Three former aides to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley [official profile] appealed their convictions on charges of mail fraud related to granting city jobs to political supporters. Appellants Robert Sorich, Timothy McCarthy, and Patrick Slattery asserted [Chicago Tribune report] that because they received no bribes or rewards for their actions, no federal offense was committed under the federal law [18 U.S.C. 1346, text] prohibiting employees from depriving citizens of "intangible services." Scalia commented on the loose wording of the federal corruption law, last updated in 1987, stating:
If the 'honest services' theorybroadly stated, that officeholders and employees owe a duty to act only in the best interests of their constituents and employersis taken seriously and carried to its logical conclusion, presumably the statute also renders criminal a state legislators decision to vote for a bill because he expects it will curry favor with a small minority essential to his reelection; a mayors attempt to use the prestige of his office to obtain a restaurant table without a reservation; a public employees recommendation of his incompetent friend for a public contract; and any self-dealing by a corporate officer. Indeed, it would seemingly cover a salaried employees phoning in sick to go to a ball game.
[JURIST] Spanish Minister of Justice Mariano Fernandez Bermejo [official profile, in Spanish] resigned on Monday due to mounting pressure following allegations that he interfered with a judicial investigation during a hunting trip with Judge Baltasar Garzon [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. The hunting expedition occurred just days before the launch of Garzon's investigation into corruption charges against the conservative Popular Party (PP) [official website, in Spanish], but Bermejo maintained that it was a mere coincidence that he and Gardon were on the trip together. Bermejo said Monday that he decided to resign [El Pais report, in Spanish] because he believed that it would be easier for someone else to do the job amid the controversy. Current Secretary for Constitutional and Parliamentary Affairs Francisco Caamano is expected to be named [El Pais report, in Spanish] as Bermejo's successor.Prior to his resignation, Bermejo had been criticized for his handling of the judiciary strike [JURIST report] earlier this month. Judges from more than 30 Spanish provinces went on a one-day strike to demand the hiring of more judges and the adoption of electronic technology to decrease their workload. The effort, known as the October 8 Movement [El Mundo report, in Spanish; AJFV materials, in Spanish], was sparked by the fine a Huelva judge incurred in October 2008 [EcoDiario report, in Spanish] for delay in issuing an arrest order for a suspect who later killed a small child. Bermejo had said that he intended to propose a law limiting the ways in which judges may assert their rights, given their role in the government. The judges planned to challenge any such law.

Perl keeps track of online orders
The script needs the Sysadm::Install, Cache::FileCache, DateTime, and DateTime::Format::Strptime modules from CPAN, which are best installed by way of a CPAN shell to resolve dependencies automatically. Alternatively, you can use your Linux package manager if its repository has all of the required modules on hand. Their names might be slightly different in this case, though: libsysadm-install-perl, for example, is Debian's idea of Sysadm::Install.
Before you start, you will need to set up an empty server-side repository manually with the use of git init (Figure 2). Perl modules are not required on the hosted machine; however, you do need the git program, but it is part of most of today's Linux systems anyway.
Figure 7 shows how the first client initializes its local repository, uses shop buy to enter a couple of purchases, runs shop list to query the local database, and ultimately transfers data to the server with shop push. The shop commands do not produce any output if they run successfully.
The second client then uses shop clone to create a local clone of the server repository, as shown in Figure 8. That client also makes a couple of purchases and tags the iPod Nano transaction with Amazon as complete. It then issues a shop push to push the local changes to the server.
The same procedure applies to all further clients; again, they first clone the server repository, make some changes to the local repository, push the new data to the server, and receive the latest updates from the other clients via a server pull. The feast of orders can go on and on, and thankfully, Git will notice immediately any deliveries that fail to reach their destination because of mail problems or supplier sloppiness.

Cross Design Team Interconnect Planning
White Paper
Interconnect and I/O planning between the design teams for IC layout, package substrate design, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout is critical to driving down costs for the package and the PCB. Companies that recognize this fact are struggling to accomplish this task today with a combination of MS Excel, white board sketches, emails, and internal "glue-ware". Often, cross-team meetings are held, but there is no central repository for all of the information and ideas that are exchanged. After the meeting ends, design team members go back into their individual silos and try to correctly recall and incorporate all that was discussed into their layout tool. This cycle repeats itself over and over in typical product release and is prone cross-team misunderstandings and human error.

Finally, something we are addicted to is good for us.
Coffee, perhaps Ethiopia's greatest discovery, has made is possible to attend morning classes and business meetings since the Middle Ages. Now, science is discovering medical benefits hidden in all that steamy deliciousness.
The Washington Post reports coffee drinkers are less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer.
A study conducted by the American Association for Cancer Research in Boston looked at 113,000 participants in two long-term health surveys. Researchers concluded that women who consumed more than three cups of caffeinated coffee a day had a 20 percent lower risk of basal cell carcinoma compared with those who drank less than a cup a month.
More than three cups a day sounds like a recipe for bouncing off walls.
For men, the reduced risk was more modest, just 9 percent, the Post reports.
Coffee researcher Juan Valdez could not be reached for comment.
Earlier, the Post's Jennifer LaRue Huget reported coffee reduced the likelihood of stroke in women.

"The French eat four times as much butter, 60 percent more cheese and nearly three times as much pork. Rates of death from coronary heart disease among males aged 35–74 years were 115 per 100,000 people in the U.S. but only 83 per 100,000 in France."

Actually that's a completely wrong statement. I myself have been testing this with my iPad as well as my iPod Touch 4g and battery life has not been affected.
My wife also has a iPad and iPod Touch 4g and she never closes out the apps and again, no change in battery life.
This is under heavy use for both of them (I stream pandora to the touch) and I watch Netflix and read on the other).

Daniel J. "Danny" White has been named the new
director of UB's Division of Athletics.
A rising star in intercollegiate athletics, the former Notre Dame basketball player and New Orleans native has quickly ascended the ranks of college athletics leadership.
His many accomplishments include notable success in raising funds for programs at major universities, including the University of Mississippi and California State University-Fresno, and coaching and serving as an administrator at Mid-American Conference (MAC) members Ohio University and Northern Illinois University. At Ohio, he helped lead the men's basketball team to a MAC championship and an NCAA tournament berth.
White currently serves as senior associate athletic director at the University of Mississippi. Since 2009, he also has served Ole Miss as the executive director of the UMAA Foundation, leading the organization to consecutive record-breaking years, raising $17.1 million in 2010 and $17.5 million in 2011.
"Danny has an impressive and very well-rounded athletic portfolio—he clearly knows the world of intercollegiate athletics from nearly every vantage point," said Tripathi. "What's more, he has a keen recognition of UB's great potential—and what it will take to realize this promise as we continue our institutional pursuit of excellence.
"Over the years, we have steadily been building a nationally competitive Division I program dedicated to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. With this national search, we set out to find a leader who would continue this upward momentum and take it to the next level—a leader who will help advance UB's mission of excellence by ensuring that our intercollegiate athletics programs compete among the best in the nation," Tripathi said. "I am delighted to say that we have found exactly this individual in Danny White."
As UB's athletic director, White will lead the only full Division I athletics program in the SUNY system, heading up a department that offers 20 intercollegiate sports and has more than 500 student-athletes. He will report directly to Tripathi and serve on the senior leadership team.
His hiring comes at a time when UB's athletics programs are making tremendous strides. The Bulls have won conference championships in the past four years in football, men's basketball, women's rowing, men's swimming, and men's and women's tennis. UB's student-athletes also consistently earn conference-wide and national recognition for their academic achievements, including Academic All-MAC honors and NCAA recognition.
White comes from a family deeply involved in intercollegiate athletics. His father, Kevin, is director of athletics at Duke. His brother Michael is head men's basketball coach at Louisiana Tech. His brother Brian is a senior account executive for Razorback Sports Properties at the University of Arkansas.
"I am thrilled to serve as director of athletics at such a world-class institution," White said. "I am excited about the vision of excellence UB is pursuing under President Tripathi's leadership and I am energized by the prospect of helping to advance that vision by leading the next chapter of UB Athletics.
"Everything I have learned about this opportunity gives me great confidence in the future," he said. "It's especially encouraging to see how clearly the Western New York community embraces UB's athletic department. I look forward to working hand in hand with the community to help us create something special as we build on all of the great work that's been done here."
Francis M. Letro, a UB Law School alumnus who co-chaired the search committee, said White will be a tremendous asset to UB and the Buffalo community. "Our search process drew a very strong, deep pool of applicants from across the country, which I see as recognition of UB's growing national reputation, both academically and in athletics," Letro said. "Danny White clearly emerged as a true leader among leaders."
Dennis R. Black, vice president for university life and services, who served as the other co-chair of the search committee, said White brings the energy, experience and leadership skills that will serve UB and its student-athletes well as the university strives to reach even greater excellence.
"Danny sets a superb example for our students," Black said. "He has earned post-graduate degrees and is working on his doctorate, as well as achieving success on the basketball court and in his chosen profession. Danny, his wife, Shawn, and their family will be wonderful members of the UB community and we are looking forward to their arrival."
From 2007-09, White was the associate athletics director for development at California State University-Fresno. He managed the Bulldog Foundation and raised $7 million annually for Fresno State athletics. He cultivated and solicited the three largest major gifts in the history of the school's athletics program.
In addition to his development duties, White also coordinated Fresno's football scheduling and supervised the men's and women's golf programs.
As assistant athletics director for development at Northern Illinois University from 2006-07, he managed the Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund and increased membership by 30 percent. He also contributed to the completion of private funding for the $14 million Academic and Athletic Performance Center.
White began his career in athletic administration in 2005 as a development associate for the UMAA Foundation at Mississippi. He assisted in the coordination of a $10 million annual fund.
A collegiate basketball player at both Towson University and the University of Notre Dame, White was director of basketball operations for men's basketball at Ohio University for the 2003-04 season, before being promoted to assistant men's basketball coach for the 2004-05 campaign.
He is a 2002 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor's
degree in business administration. He earned master's degrees
in both business administration and sports administration from Ohio
University, and recently completed the coursework for a doctorate
in higher education from Mississippi. He and his wife, Shawn, have
three children: Aiden, 7; Molly, 4; and Caitlin, 2.

Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone — appearing on the Head-To-Head radio network across the state of Mississippi yesterday — addressed the criticism that he has been receiving and his job status:
"Absolutely our fans are frustrated as I am and certainly any of the Ole Miss family is frustrated. And the Vanderbilt game, obviously, was a very low point because of just the game itself and how it was played. But at the same time, we picked it back up last week a bit and there are a lot of emails that come in… It is a lot of passion. And thank goodness the Ole Miss folks have passion. But we're gonna get it done…
No, I have no plans to step down… I will retire at some point and time. I've got two and a half years left on this contract."
Asked if he's the best man for Ole Miss job, Boone said, "I think I am. If I didn't I would leave."
Boone also said his door is open to everyone, including groups like Forward Rebels that have been placing ads in Mississippi newspapers calling for the AD's job.

We're rolling through the camp position previews. Today, I'm turning the page to cornerbacks. The depth chart at CB is a bit messy; perhaps, that makes it a depth shart. There's been significant turnover at the position as just three of the corners coming to camp were on the 2011 Rams.
Hopefully, the Rams' defensive ends should continue to pressure quarterbacks. If the Rams find increased pressure this year, that should give the cornerbacks some cushion to be able to focus on covering early. With the physicality of this group, that's a good thing.
After the jump, the position depth chart and some thoughts.
Name | Yr | Ht | Wt |
Kendric Burney | 1 | 5'9" | 190 |
Jeremy Caldwell | R | 5'9" | 183 |
Cortland Finnegan | 7 | 5'10" | 188 |
Bradley Fletcher | 4 | 6'0" | 200 |
Josh Gordy | 2 | 5'11" | 195 |
Janoris Jenkins | R | 5'10" | 193 |
Trumaine Johnson | R | 6'2" | 204 |
Jerome Murphy | 2 | 6'0" | 200 |
Quinton Pointer | R | 5'9" | 195 |
- The first thing that pops out among the group is the inexperience. There's Finnegan as the seasoned vet, Bradley Fletcher who is listed as a fourth-year player whose injuries really have only given him just more than a season and a half of experience, and a bunch of youngsters.
- I think the real question is how this group is filtered into which specific CB position is going to be interesting to keep up with. Who's going to play the nickel out of this group? Jerome Murphy? And after Finnegan, how does the outside corner spot hierarchy shake out?
- Trumaine Johnson is nearly a half-foot taller than some of these guys. Is he indeed headed to the back of the secondary as a safety?
How do you guys see this group shaking out? Obviously, Finnegan and the drafted duo of Jenkins and Johnson have a leg up over BFB and Jerome Murphy; that's part and parcel of a coaching staff and front office shake up. Ho do things play out this preseason and what changes over the course of the regular season?

Clayton News Daily
Too often in recent times, death has visited itself upon my family, its intrusion bitterly unwelcome.
When my cousin, Jacky, one of the younger members of our sprawling clan, received his personalized calling card to meet the Lord, we all discovered something that we never imagined was possible -- happiness in death. His dying, in fact, was pure joy.
Now, don't get the wrong impression and think that we were happy to see him go, or that there weren't "boo coos" of tears shed. There were plenty of those. And don't think for a moment that he wasn't such a fine fellow that his presence wasn't needed. It was needed plenty. He was, we all agree, the comical relief in the family, as well as one of the finest ones that stood within our midst.
He never said a harmful word against anyone, he loved all he knew and all who knew him loved him back. As far as personalities and other things go, he was the brightest light in our family. He was so downright comical about everything that you wondered how his brain could process thoughts that quickly. I, for one, have to think about being funny, but for Jacky, it came easily. As easy as the teasing grin that slid across his face the moment he saw anyone he liked. And, that was everyone.
At first, we couldn't believe the news. Cancer. And the prognosis wasn't remarkably good. To please his devoted wife,Carolyn, his children and family, he fought. Or, at least, he good-naturedly pretended to. He took all the treatments and under Carolyn's watchful eye, he ate well, rested often and whenever the weather permitted, sat in a lawn chair in his car porch and admired the simple pleasures of nature.
I called one day and he answered the phone. "Aw, I'm havin' a good time," he said happily. "I been sittin' out here all day, just enjoying the beauty. Oh, it's a beautiful day. Yes ma'am, it is."
As death inched closer and we mourned prematurely the day it would arrive, Jacky exuded the excitement of a child.
"Don't feel sad for me," he'd intone time after time. "Y'all need to be sad for yourselves, 'cause I'm goin' on to heaven to see my Lord and all my loved ones there, and y'all gotta stay here a while longer." He'd stop, throw back his head and laugh with crystal pure joy. He wasn't pretending to be brave. He wasn't acting courageous. He truly was happy at the prospect of crossing the river Jordan and living an eternal life in glory.
Two weeks before his appointed time arrived, I carried supper to him and Carolyn one night. Nothing fancy, just Mama's made-up, but delicious recipe of cheesy, creamy chicken noodle soup and cornbread muffins. His excitement and happiness reminded me of a woman who is planning her wedding day. He chattered with tremendous animation.
"Nope, I ain't a bit worried." He smiled broadly and would quote one scripture after another, each one underscoring what the Good Book promises and what he looked forward to seeing.
"Yep, I'll be havin' me a good time in heaven," he threw back his head to laugh and tossed his hand up in a wave. "See y'all when you get there."
I laughed. I couldn't help but laugh. "You're an inspiration," I said with grinning admiration.
"Naw, I just know what I've got waitin' for me."
"Oh death," I thought silently. "Where is thy sting?" My cousin had outsmarted that which we mostly dread. He found the upside in what most consider a downside.
Time after time, we marveled and discussed it among ourselves. We couldn't believe it. We knew many who had taught us the joy of living, but we had finally found one to teach us the joy of dying.
And teach it well, Jacky Miller did.
