Stock Futures Spike as Housing Bright Spot Overshadows Cyprus
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures indicated that major U.S. stock markets may snap a two-day losing streak after better-than-expected data on housing starts and building permits in February reassured investors the housing market remains a bright spot in the U.S. economy.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 26 points, or 40.94 points above fair value, to 14,416 after the index on Monday logged its largest two-day point and percentage decline since Feb. 26.
Futures for the S&P 500 were up 3.75 points, or 5.2 points above fair value, to 1,550.5 after two straight down days.
Futures for the Nasdaq were higher by 9 points, or 11.2 points above fair value, at 2,796.
The Census Bureau reported that housing starts, or new home constructions, rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 917,000 in February from an upwardly revised 910,000 in January. Economists were expecting an increase to 915,000. Furthermore, the government agency said that building permits, a proxy for future construction, increased to a 946,000 annual rate, compared to the predicted rise to a 925,000 rate. The prior month's figure was downwardly revised to a 904,000 pace. The Federal Reserve begins its two-day policy meeting Tuesday and is scheduled to announce its latest policy stance at 2 p.m. the following day. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. "Based on his recent speeches and testimony, we expect on net dovish remarks that support our expectation for QE3 to continue well into next year," Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York, said in a Monday evening note. U.S stocks slumped on Monday as investors considered that the harsh bailout plan mapped out by eurozone finance ministers for Cyprus could be enacted in other eurozone countries to recapitalize distressed banks. European markets were trading sideways to lower on Tuesday as lawmakers in Cyprus got ready to vote on the details of how to go about raising €5.8 billion called for by the finance ministers for the near-bankrupt nation. The FTSE 100 in London was up 0.04% and the DAX in Germany was falling 0.29%. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 8/32, diluting the yield to 2.023%. The dollar was up 0.06%, according to the U.S. dollar index. May crude oil futures were down a penny to $94.10 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. AmerisourceBergen Corp (ABC) shares were jumping 5.59% to $51 in premarket trading Tuesday after the drug wholesaler announced a 10-year pharmaceutical distribution agreement with Walgreen (WAG), the U.S.'s largest drugstore chain, and Walgreen affiliate and European drug wholesaler Alliance Boots. The deal also gives the companies rights to acquire a minority stake in AmerisourceBergen of up to 23%. AmerisourceBergen predicted that its revenues will rise $25 billion in the first year of deal. Shares of Dublin, Ohio-based Cardinal Health (CAH) were tumbling 4.9% to $43.87 as the company's pharmaceutical distribution contract with Walgreen expires at the end of August and its services are mainly replaced by AmerisourceBerge. Skullcandy (SKUL) shares were popping 6.94% to $5.70 after the maker of headphones named Hoby Darling, an executive from Nike, as its president and CEO. Darling was the general manager for Nike's digital sport unit. He replaces Jeremy Andrus, who stepped down as president and CEO in February. Lululemon Athletica (LULU) said Monday it was pulling shipments of certain yoga pants from its stores because they were too sheer. Lululemon said the mistake by a supplier would reduce its expected first-quarter sales to $333 million to $343 million, down from previous expectations of $350 million to $355 million. Shares were tumbling 4.48% to $62.95. Written by Andrea Tse in New York >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Andrea Tse.Select the service that is right for you!

text: Manchin to public: Read gun billApril 19, 2013PARKERSBURG — A West Virginia senator who brokered a compromise on a bill requiring background checks on gun sales encouraged everyone Thursday to read the legislation.... MrMegaIt states, "to prevent criminals and those with a mental illness from buying guns" yet if mental patients are never entered into any system, then these checks are good for? And, criminals are not going to be stopped by BG checks. Internet sales; already on the books, even includes older C&R collectibles now, so that didn't even need to be discussed. Will just drive up prices of all gun purchases, plain and simple. 12 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MrMegaAlready has ammo prices sky-high, IF you can even find what you need in stock, so if you enjoyed target shooting as a hobby... well, you've been screwed. Hard to find even small .22 cal in stock anyplace around here, now. 9mm - forget it. 8 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MrMegaAlready has ammo prices sky-high, IF you can even find what you need in stock, so if you enjoyed target shooting as a hobby... well, you've been screwed.

This is just the foot in the door and we all know washington, they cant leave well enough alone and this thing will just keep snowballing...I hope the voters remember old Joe come election time and put him out....I didnt vote for him the first time and ill be voting for next time. 9 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » rightfactsJoes showing who he really supports. He is an Obama supporter and just as liberal as the rest. He will support many more of the current administrations efforts for the next 3 1/2 years. 11 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse » denverIt's completely reasonable to require universal background checks .Anyone opposed to or doesn't want a background check are those that need it most! 6 Agrees | 11 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WVWVWVJoe has turned against the people of WV. He has become a tool for BHO and will do what ever BHO wants.He has lost my vote. Never thought Joe would cave. BHO must have promised Joe a great job in the Kings government.

How long will we tolerate this. 3 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » bkhwv1You can't believe anything he says anymore. he is Obama's biggest supporter 8 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ViennaVoterI think Joe is finishing his final term. No way WV voters will put him back in. You forget your job is to represent your state not your president! 8 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ramrodIs there a provision that makes it a crime for doctors who dont report mental illness? There is already laws on the books pertaining to mail order purchases. It has to go through a dealer at both ends of the transaction.Joe is scared now or he wouldnt have put out this appeal for us to read the BS that he started. Also there is plenty of ammo on the shelves in Ravenswood. 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousman"None of that is in the bill" Uh, yeah Joe, it is. If I can't go to a gun show and buy a gun off a guy I've known for years without having a background check ran, and therefore alerting the federal government of the weapon I'm planning to purchase, it's doing pretty much what the NRA has said. When the government has a record of the guns we purchase, it's a defacto "gun registration" scheme. Joe is toast. 8 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousmanI voted for Joe. Since he's gotten into national office it's clear that like Jay, his brother on the left, he's forgotten who he represents and instead wants to please his buddies on Capitol Hill and possibly have a career in national Democrat politics which means he'll have to toe the party line at some point, which doesn't reflect what WV Demcrats (the majority of them) think. 7 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SookieI love how all posters (well, excluding Denver) keep sayinng that Joe doesn't represent WV voters and what we want. I have to respectfully disagree, he is representing my views and beliefs quite well. There has been a required national background check for nearly 20 years...anyone ever hear of a little thing called the Brady Law? It just makes sense to me that EVERYONE be subject to a background check in order to buy a guy. Otherwise, anyone can go to a gun show and just buy up whatever they darn well please. I don't understand all the hub-bub...if you are afraid of the government knowing you own a gun, then that sounds to me like you have something to hide. 9 Agrees | 9 Disagrees | Report Abuse » seleahAm I missing something? Senator Manchin is a Democrat. Stop expecting him to act and/or vote like a Repubican. For those who think he will not win re-election, think again. He is the most popular Governor West Virginia has ever had. He will most likely be on the ticket for Vice President of the United States in 2016. I took the time to read the 49 pages before the vote in Washington. I believe Manchin. No rose colored glasses here, just an informed opinion based on what I read. 7 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse » RemingtonStupen , then explain why WV is the 2 BS poorest state in the Nation and 1st place in the fattest state in the Nation. The laughing stock of WV was the idiot you people kept voting in was Robert Byrd, who was the biggest pork spender in the Senate. People tell me why would a bunch of hicks vote for a 80 year old fart, that was a KKK member? Arch Moore was a good governor when I lived there. 3 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » JoyceByGodTo quote my Rightie friends from a few years back...."if your doing nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Every seller at a gun show is your "long time friend" wink wink. 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » GoldNBlueI talked to Joe during the Greenbrier last year. He despises Obama, told me directly that BHO is "the most arrogant man I have ever met". Anyway, Joe is doing the right thing. I am a gun owner and don't want a mentally ill or criminal to own one. I think arming every responsible adult is a good thing. The problem is, we have far too many people WITH guns who SHOULDN'T have them. This bill would have been favored by the NRA ten years ago, they wanted this before. What has changed since then? The NRA's leadership, who is more concerneded with the gun industry sales then doing the right thing. 5 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousman"Senator Manchin is a Democrat. Stop expecting him to act and/or vote like a Repubican." I don't. I expect him to act and/or vote like a West Virginian. I'm betting the majority of West Virginians don't think that more gun control is either an answer to any existing problem, or a very high priority. The fact that Joe is spearheading this despite that likely fact has nothing to do with party affiliation, and everything to do with who he represents. "It just makes sense to me that EVERYONE be subject to a background check in order to buy a gun" Why should we have to get permission from the government to practice a Constitutional right? 2 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousmanRemington: I stopped voting for Byrd back in the early 90's. I believe he started thinking too much of his self and was enjoying all the "naming" rights he was getting for all the pork he was pulling in. However, I did appreciate until towards the very end of his career he stood up for most traditional, WV values when most Democrats where going the other way. 4 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousman"The problem is, we have far too many people WITH guns who SHOULDN'T have them." Newtown was done with guns not owned by the perp. More "gun control" won't really solve the problem. Also, I don't think people receiving mental help are put on any "don't sell" list, so they won't show up. Only certain criminals. Criminals don't need background checks to get guns. The entire idea is either based on a lack of understanding of how the system (and our second amendment rights) work, and a naive belief that criminals will obey the law when it's been proven time and time again that they won't. All this will do is inconvenience law abiding citizens, and it's stupid to do that for something that simply isn't going to be of much benefit. 2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » stupendousmanSo, with Joe, he's not really focused on the issues most West Virginians think are important, wants to make it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase guns, and doesn't seem to even really understand the issue he's talking about (and accusing others falsely of certain misrepresentations). Why would he be voted back into office? 4 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » GoldNBlueStupidedous, Guns are a touchy subject. What other constitutional right also gives you the instrument to violate anothers constitutional rights? The right to bear arms can also be interepreted differently, this was written to support a well armed militia. This was not put in as a free for all blanket statement about gun ownership. And frankly we have only ourselves to blame. American society has accepted and encouraged gun ownership, thus viewing gun violence as just an acceptable part of our open society. All this bill is trying to do is mitigate the damage of open gun ownership. I am okay with that personally. 4 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 25 of 34 comments Show More Comments

In Matthew 26:52 we have a scene where Jesus rebukes Peter for being rash:
Then said Jesus to him, Put up again your sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.In the Greek, the bolded part above reads thus:
παντες γαρ οι λαβοντες μαχαιραν εν μαχαιρη απολουνταιA plain retro-translation back into Galilean Aramaic reads:
pantes gar hoi labontes mahairan en mahairê apolountai
For all who did take a sword, by a sword they shall die.
בגין כל דנסבון סייף בסייף נמותוןWhich is *very* interesting.
bagin kal d-nsab saiyf, b-saiyf yimuthun
For everyone who took up a sword, by a sword (OR "in the end") they shall die.
In Western Aramaic dialects (specifically Galilean) the word saiyf can mean either "sword" or "end." Given the context, this wordplay is undoubtedly intentional, and the Greek as we have it today, of course, misses this right off the bat.
Furthermore this has fun implications for the "Peshitta Primacy" movement, as it outlines differences between dialects.
The same passage in the Peshitta reads:
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܤܒܘ ܤܝܦܐ ܒܤܝܦܐ ܢܡܘܬܘܢNot only does this double meaning not occur in Syriac, or other Eastern dialects from the era, the Peshitta misses it completely, instead choosing to render both instances of /saipa/ in the plural (which makes the pun impossible in the Peshitta... say that 3 times fast).
kulhun ger hanun da-nsab saife, b-saife n'muthun
For all of they who take up swords, with swords they shall die.
I've gone ahead and put this into the "He Who Lives By The Sword" and "Problems With Peshitta Primacy" articles over on AramaicNT.org, but I think it might deserve its own spot in an article devoted solely to Galilean Aramaic Wordplay.
Finally of note, this pun does not occur in Hebrew. (As far as I am aware.)
All of this taken together is strong evidence that this saying within Matthew dates back to an Aramaic source (be it oral or written) which means that it is quite an early tradition.

Hiker injured in Zion canyon during flood warning
An injured hiker was reported stranded in The Subway in Zion National Park on Saturday night as rains posed a risk of flash flooding in the slot canyon.
Another hiker called 911 after exiting The Subway canyon hike on Saturday evening to report the hiker had suffered a lower leg injury, said Ranger Tim Hearns. Rescuers did not yet know the nature or severity of the injury, or whether the hiker was mobile, Hearns said. It also wasn't clear which part of The Subway the hiker was in. Some parts of the hike allow access to higher ground; other parts pass through deep slot canyons that can expose hikers to flash flooding.
"During a flash flood, the water level rises quickly, within minutes or even seconds," according to a safety notice about hiking The Subway on Zion National Park's website. "A flash flood can rush down a canyon in a wall of water 12 feet high or more."
As of 9:30 p.m., rescuers were poised at the trailheads as weather forecasts and conditions were being evaluated to determine how risky a rescue may be, Hearns said.
"It's a search and rescue, it's at night, and there's weather," Hearns said. "But we're taking appropriate risk management."
The Tribune will report further details as they become available.

Hopefully this will be the saddest thing I see today -
The National Police plane was left cut in half on the tarmac of the Olaya Herrera airport in Medellin, Colombia's second largest city, and a notorious centre of the international drugs trade.
According to a police spokesman, a grenade carried by an officer that was boarding the plane accidentally exploded.
It wounded eight officers of the 27 that were on board but there are no further details of their injuries.
Also today a Colombian air force intelligence aircraft with a crew of five or six crashed near the northwestern town of La Dorada.
The fate of the crew was not immediately known, a military source said.
"We have had an accident with an AC-47 plane with the plate number FAC 1670 which was on a training mission and crashed'' just outside the town, the source said.

So we get a sauna scene out of Stephan and Kotetsu sweating in there. Luckily their in boxer shorts. Nice Olympics reference too!!! The gym leader flashbacks were nice but it'd be better if Chili or Cress showed up in the league. What happened to them?
It does seem very similar to the Don battle tournaments oddly so far.
Agreed, it's like Don George is secretly the dictator of Unova, and controls the way all trainers have to battle. Okay, I went a little too far there.
Every tournament in BW has been the same thing so far, being all one on one tournaments that focus more on the character development of side characters, along with them being overpowered over the main characters. I mean, the gym battles have all been done properly and were usually 3 on 3, why can't the tournaments be 6 on 6.
I think they're just refusing to show the rest of Trips team, as they think "Serperior's the best Pokemon ever" apparently, and it's the only Pokemon Trip ever owns, or more rather, it's the only one of his Pokemon we ever see, I mean, are they THAT lazy to come up with the teams for the rivals, I mean really, here are everyones teams:
Trip: Serperior
Stephan: Sawk, Zebstrika, Liepard
Bianca: Pignite, Minccino, Shelmet
Georgia: Bisharp, Beartic
Kotetsu: Riolu, Samurott, Ferrothorn, Hydreigon
Virgil: Eevee and it's evolutions
Burgundy: Pretty much non-existent at this point
It's like they don't even want to bother giving them full teams of six, and have made it so that their signature Pokemon is their ONLY Pokemon, and with that, make that Pokemon as overpowered as possible, it's like they're not even trying anymore with their teams. It's like "*insert Pokemon here* is *insert rival here*'s strongest Pokemon, let's make it their ONLY Pokemon!"
The only ones that even have what is close to legitimate teams are Kotetsu and Virgil, and even then, the latter is nothing but the same evolution line, while Kotetsu, even with only four of his Pokemon known, is the only rival who has most of his team known.

The thing is, Trip does have a full set of 6, a very good variety of different types, as well as a lot of Pokemon rivalries - yet he's the only one who gets a 1 on 1 battle.
Well its because nobody really cares. Trip was a poorly received rival from day one and these last 2 years didn't change that. He's being given an early exit for the same reason Kenny was dropped from the Sinnoh Grand Festival quickly.
They're getting the "dud" rival out of the way quickly to focus on the more interesting characters. Just be glad the writers have acknowledged which characters are received well and which aren't, it dates back to the days of Johto when Takeshi Shudo was unhappy with the tedious direction of the series back then.
All we really need to see is Pikachu get its revenge on Serperior for both its two prior losses, and Trip's Serperior dominating the Junior Cup, and then the whole Trip rivalry can be shelved. I also guarantee Trip will immediately leave after he loses rather than sticking around to watch the rest of the tournament.
The thing about 1 v 1's is the don't really show how good a trainer really is, just how good there pokemon of choice is for that battle. I don't like Trip at all, but its a poor way to end the rivalry. Beating one of his pokemon doesn't prove at all that Ash is better than him
Yeah...And back in Sinnoh Ash actually deserved to win because of all the hard work he did through the saga. He had a fairly developed team, he had motivation to do better, and he actually used strategy.
Honestly I agree...Trip is Ash's "primary" rival for the series and he has lost to him 3 times and drawn with him once. They have the potential to give a decent battle with a full 6 on 6 but they choose to ignore that and give us JUST Serperior vs. Pikachu. The thing that bugs me the most is that Ash ALWAYS gets a 6 on 6 with his main league rival, but here....a 1 on 1 against a rival who was poorly written
Claimed Monferno on 12/8/13
well, ash has been very unlucky with his pokemon's ability kicking in or any side effects from moves. rememver the match vs roxie? like every of her atks 100% poison , when it should only be 10%/30% chance at max according to the game. and pikachu's iron tail has never caused any opponent to be paralysed before. furthermore, it takes a huge number of hits on pikachu to get the static to kick in. so the writers are like super unrealistic on move side effects and abilities. if i remember, pignite only managed to burn the enemy once in all its battles using fire type moves, unfair much
LOL, that was totally unexpected, but i was kinda hoping for ash to take out at least 3 of tobias's pokemon. and i think the decision to go with torkoal was a bad one, swellow too. if he has chosen glalie, charizard or snorlax, he could have pulled off 1 more win at least imo
my guess, entei, articuno, registeel and.... Mesprit? haha
it was mega horn, not horn drill, either way, focus punch+ megahorn from ash's heracross should be able to take down any darkrai... tis was the same heracross who beat gary mother******* oak 's magmar 2 series ago!
oh and back to UNOVA LEAGUE, ash vs trip 1 on 1 doesnt surprise me, but using sceptile vs seperior would have been soooo much cooler! my guess from the next ep preview's pikachu's sneaky smile,
ash and pikachu actually have a REAL STRATEGY this time, so im looking forward to that. we all know ash will inevitably win. but im quite happy trip loses so early, he deserves it. but im not happy cause trip deserves a thorough beating from ash like how alder beat him an pikachu wasn't the best pokemon of ash to deliver that. imaginve charizard, now that would satisfy me to my heart's content

Trip's Serperior looked taller than previous.
Nice way to start off the league and please stop the lame jokes with Kotetsu.. He has been given a good team of pokes but has been considered as joker of Pokemon.. it sometimes tickles n some frustrate.. Ash vs Trip in round of 128(1vs1) seems weird ,, also other rivals have strong team compared to trip which may help in eliminating nd advancing Ash..
Prof Oak, Delia Ketchum nd also Moltres flame missing from previous seasons..
Wow, what a great episode, and a really fun way to start of the League. Seeing Satoshi and his friends and rivals bond together is always nice.
As for the battles, they were spectacular. I know they were all short, but they were really intense, and said a lot. You could tell just how confident and strategic Bel has become since we last saw her, and Kotetsu and Virgil had pretty interesting, even matches where they didn't just steamroll through everything. I only wish we could see the full matches.
Also, Pikachu had fat arms during its battle with Jalorda.
You know what? This was a really decent first league episode.
The battles were quickly showcased, yes but I didn't mind this time because it felt...well...good.
The first part of Pikachu VS. Serperior was also nicely done.
And...Stephan's name gag is over? Yay.
And...Bianca isn't hyperactive for once...good lord.
I'm guessing the writers got sick of Cabernet and Langley, since neither of them have showed up. Cabernet was shown to be collecting badges, and Langley had a Pokedex so I had imagined they'd both be turning up...
...then again, Cabernet was about as failed a rival as you could get. She didn't get one win under her belt throughout the show, and eventually just became comic relief to be blasted off.
As for Langley... meh, guess since Iris defeated her the writers decided she'd run her course. Pity, at first I thought she was pretty interesting.

TV Fashion: Gordon Ramsay of 'Hell's Kitchen' (FOX)
Great taste in the 'Kitchen'
And just as we expect the entrees in a quality restaurant to have a pleasing appearance, so should the chefs preparing them. No one wants to order roast magret duck breasts with shaved black truffles prepared by someone who can't match his belt and shoes. Gordon Ramsay of "Hell's Kitchen" gets that. True, he may be the orneriest Scot to hit our shores since Sheena Easton sang "Morning Train," but when he's packing heat - 350 degrees for four to six minutes, then stir - the man simmers in stylish chef wear.
Neat and trim like a New York strip, Gordon's kitchen appearance conveys strength, power and self-assuredness wrapped in a pasty white shell that only the British Isles can produce. Clearly gas ranges produce no UVA or UVB rays. Nevertheless, a proper chef jacket goes a long way to implying you have a clue behind a set of Ginsu knives even if you burn water on a good day.
Traditionally double-breasted with cloth-covered buttons, the jackets are often constructed of midweight cotton and feature either rounded or squared French cuffs, a pair of front-faced pockets and what passes for a Nehru collar. They also come in a variety of sleeve lengths. If their very appearance didn't conjure up the smell of grease and day-old ketchup, this could conceivably be a very hot look outside the kitchen. They're cleanly Asian - a look we embrace.
For the lower half of the ensemble, Ramsay prefers to stick with slacks in basic black for a more regal appearance, though most kitchen workers sport pants that have more of a scrubs appeal to them: elastic and drawstring waistbands and a full to wide leg with a patterned fabric to help fool the eye when it comes to stains. But for you, in your home during your moments of culinary showboating, stick with black.
Another thing Ramsay doesn't cut corners on is his shoes. Chefs are on their feet virtually their entire shift, so they need comfort above all else. But kitchen-oriented footwear is some of the ugliest, chunkiest stuff imaginable. The fact that they often come with steel toes - hey, you might drop a cleaver or a 20-pound can of puree - doesn't help their style. But in this case, it is actually better to feel good rather than look good. And that, we promise, is the last time you will ever see us type that sentence.

Mike Connor - Director, Bureau of Reclamation
Michael L. Connor was confirmed Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation by the United States Senate on May 21, 2009.
Connor has more than 15 years of experience in the public sector, including having served as Counsel to the U.S. Senate and Natural Resources Committee since May 2001.
At the committee, Connor has managed legislation for both the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Geological Survey, developed water resources legislation and handled Native American issues that are within the Energy Committee's jurisdiction.
From 1993 to 2001, Connor served in the Department of the Interior, including as deputy director and then director of the Secretary's Indian Water Rights Office from 1998 to 2001. In this capacity, Connor represented the Secretary of the Interior in negotiations with Indian tribes, state representatives, and private water users to secure water rights settlements consistent with the federal trust responsibility to tribes.
Before joining the Secretary's Office, he was employed with the Interior Solicitor's Office in Washington, DC and in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He began his Interior career in the Solicitor's Honors Program in 1993.
Connor received his J.D. from the University Of Colorado School Of Law, and is admitted to the bars of Colorado and New Mexico. He previously received a Bachelor of Science degree. in Chemical Engineering from New Mexico State University and worked for General Electric.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is a contemporary water management agency and the largest wholesale provider of water in the country. It brings water to more than 31 million people, and provides one out of five Western farmers with irrigation water for farmland that produces much of the nation's produce. Reclamation is also the second largest producer of hydroelectric power in the western United States with 58 power plants.

When Miss Henderson stepped out of the house she saw the family dog fight¬ ing witb tbe wolf. She seized the moji handle, the flrst weapon that came Into ber hands, and went to the dog's res¬ cue. She killed tbe wolf and received a bounty of f 10 from the Hecretary of state, witb a personal letter of congrat¬ ulation, nnd also $10 from the county, Tbe skin of the wolf Is t)elng made into a set of furs, which Miss Hender¬ son will take pride in wearing, "It wasn't much." said Maliel, "1 saw the wolf and got mad. I did not tblnk of being In danger myself and just grabbed tbe flrst thing I got my hands on. That was all.

Elevated Minisatellite Mutation Rate in the Post-Chernobyl Families from Ukraine The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 71, Issue 4, 1 October 2002, Pages 801-809 Yuri E. Dubrova, Gemma Grant, Anatoliy A. Chumak, Vasyl A. Stezhka and Angela N. Karakasian Abstract Germline mutation at eight human minisatellite loci has been studied among families from rural areas of the Kiev and Zhitomir regions of Ukraine, which were heavily contaminated by radionuclides after the Chernobyl accident. The control and exposed groups were composed of families containing children conceived before and after the Chernobyl accident, respectively. The groups were matched by ethnicity, maternal age, parental occupation, and smoking habits, and they differed only slightly by paternal age. A statistically significant 1.6-fold increase in mutation rate was found in the germline of exposed fathers, whereas the maternal germline mutation rate in the exposed families was not elevated. These data, together with the results of our previous analysis of the exposed families from Belarus, suggest that the elevated minisatellite mutation rate can be attributed to post-Chernobyl radioactive exposure. The mechanisms of mutation induction at human minisatellite loci are discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (819 kb) |
Two Modes of Germline Instability at Human Minisatellite MS1 (Locus D1S7): Complex Rearrangements and Paradoxical Hyperdeletion The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 72, Issue 6, 1 June 2003, Pages 1436-1447 Ingrid Berg, Rita Neumann, Håkan Cederberg, Ulf Rannug and Alec J. Jeffreys Abstract Minisatellite MS1 (locus D1S7) is one of the most unstable minisatellites identified in humans. It is unusual in having a short repeat unit of 9 bp and in showing somatic instability in colorectal carcinomas, suggesting that mitotic replication or repair errors may contribute to repeat-DNA mutation. We have therefore used single-molecule polymerase chain reaction to characterize mutation events in sperm and somatic DNA. As with other minisatellites, high levels of instability are seen only in the germline and generate two distinct classes of structural change. The first involves large and frequently complex rearrangements that most likely arise by recombinational processes, as is seen at other minisatellites. The second pathway generates primarily, if not exclusively, single-repeat changes restricted to sequence-homogeneous regions of alleles. Their frequency is dependent on the length of uninterrupted repeats, with evidence of a hyperinstability threshold similar in length to that observed at triplet-repeat loci showing expansions driven by dynamic mutation. In contrast to triplet loci, however, the single-repeat changes at MS1 exclusively involve repeat deletion, and can be so frequent—as many as 0.7–1.3 mutation events per sperm cell for the longest homogeneous arrays—that alleles harboring these long arrays must be extremely ephemeral in human populations. The apparently impossible existence of alleles with deletion-prone uninterrupted repeats therefore presents a paradox with no obvious explanation. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1588 kb) |
Evolutionary Fate of an Unstable Human Minisatellite Deduced from Sperm-Mutation Spectra of Individual Alleles The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 70, Issue 4, 1 April 2002, Pages 1038-1043 Jérôme Buard, Charles Brenner and Alec J. Jeffreys Abstract Although mutation processes at some human minisatellites have been extensively characterized, the evolutionary fate of these unstable loci is unknown. Minisatellite instability is largely germline specific, with mutation rates up to several percent and with expansion events predominating over contractions. Using allele-specific small-pool polymerase chain reaction, we have determined sperm-mutation spectra of individual alleles of the highly unstable human minisatellite CEB1 (i.e., D2S90). We show that, as allele size increases, the proportion of contractions rises from <5% to 50%, with the average size of deletion increasing and eventually exceeding the average size of expansion. The expected net effect of these trends after many generations is an equilibrium distribution of allele sizes, and allele-frequency data suggest that this equilibrium state has been reached in some contemporary human populations.

Unequal crossover has long been suspected to play a role in the germline-specific instability of tandem-repeat DNA, but little information exists on the dynamics and processes of unequal exchange. We have therefore characterized new length alleles associated with flanking-marker exchange at the highly unstable human minisatellite CEB1, which mutates in the male germline by a complex process often resulting in the gene conversion–like transfer of repeats between alleles. DNA flanking CEB1 is rich in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and shows extensive haplotype diversity, consistent with elevated recombinational activity near the minisatellite. These SNPs were used to recover mutant CEB1 molecules associated with flanking-marker exchange, directly from sperm DNA. Mutants with both proximal and distal flanking-marker exchange were shown to contribute significantly to CEB1 turnover and suggest that the 5′ end of the array is very active in meiotic unequal crossover. Coconversions involving the interallelic transfer of repeats plus immediate flanking DNA were also common, were also polarized at the 5′ end of CEB1, and appeared to define a conversion gradient extending from the repeat array into adjacent DNA. Whereas many mutants associated with complete exchange resulted in simple recombinant-repeat arrays that show reciprocity, coconversions were highly gain-biassed and were, on average, more complex, with allele rearrangements similar to those seen in the bulk of sperm mutants. This suggests distinct recombination-processing pathways producing, on the one hand, simple crossovers in CEB1 and, on the other hand, complex conversions that sometimes extend into flanking DNA.

Latinos: A Biography of the People
The latest census counted 22.4 million Latinos living in the United States—approximately 9 percent of all Americans. They are of twenty-one different nationalities and of mixed Indian, European, African, and sometimes even Asian descent. About 9 million of them were born outside the country. About 63 percent of them are Mexican American, 11 percent Puerto Rican, and 5 percent Cuban American; the remaining 21 percent have roots elsewhere in the Caribbean or in Central or South America. Latinos are young: their median age of 25.3 years is almost ten years beneath that of the general population, and almost one third of them haven't yet reached 15. Most live in cities in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, and New Jersey, or in towns throughout the Southwest. Already one of every four Californians and Texans is a Latino. Sometime around 2010, Latinos will pass blacks to become the largest minority in America.
If only they could leave off being just Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and Cubans and start acting as a group, Earl Shorris writes in his bitter and diffuse new book, with their exponentially increasing numbers, Latinos might be the great force propelling American politics toward the close of the century. Instead Shorris worries that five hundred years of intimidation and neglect by the Spaniards and the Americans have produced a people too distracted by their different burdens to work in unison. "There are no Latinos," he declares in his introduction, "only diverse peoples struggling to remain who they are while becoming someone else."
What Shorris means is that Latinos travel no single route. They have arrived over four centuries, under every imaginable circumstance—as job seekers, adventurers, well-to-do exiles, or persecuted refugees, or simply because the United States took over the land they happened to be living on. Once here, too, they have lived every kind of life. As he traveled the country rounding up exemplary Latinos, Shorris found mostly hapless victims, such as the family of Mexicans overtaken by bandits as they crossed the border into Texas, and the Puerto Rican mother who keeps her daughters indoors with her, watching television and eating junk food, away from the gunfire outside their Bronx apartment. But he also spoke to a middleclass owner of an office supplies business in El Paso, to a corporate lawyer in Los Angeles, and to a few people, such as Jorge Más Canosa, the millionaire leader of Miami's conservative, anti-Castro Cubans, who are wellknown and powerful.
These individual portraits should, like dots on a pointillist canvas, add up delicately to a large picture of Latino life. But unlike the dots, they cannot be taken in at once; they must appear to us scattered through five hundred pages. Even as Shorris convinces us of his subjects' diversity, his book leaves the grim impression after a while that Latinos of almost every station are stoic dupes, awaiting an oppression as certain and predictable as rain.
Shorris's own overprotective attachment to the …

Sun Reviewing Google 'Blackbox' Patent
October 10th, 2007 By: Rich Miller
The news that Google (GOOG) has received a patent on a modular data center in a shipping container raised an immediate question: what might this mean for Sun Microsystems' Project Blackbox? The Blackbox, an energy-efficient data center housed in a 20-foot shipping container, was announced in Oct. 2005 and installed its first unit at Stanford in July. Executives of Sun have said the Blackbox resulted from a 2005 conversation between two of its technologists. Google applied for the patent in 2003.
Sun (JAVA) isn't saying much just yet. "We are aware of a modular data center patent being issued to Google," a Sun spokeswoman told The Register. "Our legal team is reviewing the patent, as this is a broad concept. Until that review is complete, we don't have further comment."
The Register speculated that Google may be an unlikely candidate to wield its patents to try and crush competitors, given its recent calls for patent reform, "As the company complains about the injustice of the patent system, it's hard to imagine it going on the offensive with its new patent. Of course, stranger things have happened."
Posted October 10th, 2007PatentFizz commenters have done a good job of comparing the claims of the Google datacenter patent (US Patent No. 7278273) to the details of Sun's Project Blackbox. See the comments section at the bottom of the FizzDisplay for the patent to follow the discussion (available here: http://www.patentfizz.com/fizzdisplay.php?patno=7278273

Nokia 808 Pureview goes up against Nokia N8, should probably pick on someone its own age (video)
Aside from a brief video ad to show off its own motion-capture chops, it's gone a little quiet on Nokia's 808 PureView. The imposing 41-megapixel cameraphone, or phone-camera, is Nokia's latest Symbian device so why not run it (almost) side-by-side with the Nokia N8? The screen looks substantially more impressive on the 808 PureView, which is 0.5 inches larger than its older relative, but that brighter showing probably has more to do with the new phone's placement center-stage in exx10sive's hands-on video. Arguably Nokia's last Symbian big-hitter, the 808 PureView seems far more responsive to touch; apps appear to launch almost immediately, while the Belle UI also seems better suited to the newer device, with larger menu text and icons in view. The camera app has also been given a more modern flavor, in line with other smartphone camera UIs. A full-fat eight-minute comparison lies in wait after the break. Hopefully, those hints at a May launch will hold true — we're waiting for the camera, not the Symbian.

Budget Committee
Introduction to Budget Committee
Budget Committee is the CSA committee responsible for allocating all CSA funds. Each year, your student activity fee is combined with all other students', resulting in a large pool of money that we are responsible for allocating. We review proposed budgets during Spring Allocations and continue to meet weekly throughout the year to review incidental requests for funds and events. Our meetings are every Thursday at 8 PM (in Sayles 251) and open to anyone who would like to come. We make a recommendation on each request and CSA Senate gives the final approval for each request at its meeting on Monday at 7 PM (in Weitz 236).
I want to...
...learn about CSA funds.
...request money from Budget Committee
...read the CSA Budget Committee Bylaws and Guidelines.
...understand the CSA reimbursment process, once I have received funding.
...learn about Spring Allocations, and how my organization can get funds from CSA for the entire year.
...read past Budget Committee meeting minutes.
Members of Budget Committee
Budget Committee is chaired by the CSA Vice President. The VP conducts the meetings and does not vote. The committee is composed of two Senator liaisons and 10 students-at-large. New members do not vote their first term unless a quorum (more than half of all members) cannot be met otherwise. Students-at-large keep their seats on the committee until they go off campus or graduate. BC meets every Thursday at 8:00pm in Sayles 251.
Carleton Student Association Budget Committee will use cost/benefit analysis to reach conclusions on how to fund opportunities for Carleton students in a way that most effectively benefits campus. All decisions regarding matters not related to the bylaws are at the discretion of the Budget Committee. The following guidelines are not rigid, but explain the tendencies and ideas for best practice and function of the committee. Budget Committee will enforce its bylaws as stated.

How to lock your screen in OS X

While using a cable lock for both desktop and laptop systems is a good recommendation, you also might set the system up to prevent unauthorized access if you need to quickly step away from it.
One way to ensure your data is safe is to simply log out of your computer every time you leave; however, this will quit your running applications and interrupt your workflow. In OS X Mountain Lion, Apple's autosave … Read more

CNET Editors' Take
September 30, 2011 12:06 PM PDT
Another sleek Sony Ericsson design hits the U.S. The Xperia Ray runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and has two cameras.
If you've got unrequited love for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, NewEgg.com is doing something to ease the pain.
NewEgg will soon sell the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread smartphone unlocked to U.S. customers for $424.99.
Announced this past June at CommunicAsia, the Xperia Ray follows up on the Xperia Arc with a thin, sleek design. The Ray's aluminum chassis measures just 9.4mm thick and contains a 3.3-inch display. Sony Ericsson's Mobile Bravia Engine renders the Ray's 854x480-pixel "Reality Display" resolution.
As with the Arc, the Ray features an 8.1-megapixel camera with a Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor, but it also adds a front-facing VGA camera for video chats and self-portraits; 720p HD video capture is another feature common to the Xperia line. A 1GHz processor keeps things going behind the scenes.
Globally, the Ray comes in four colors: black, gold, white, and pink. It supports North American 3G bands.

Phew ... I'm coming in just under the wire.
April, it turns out, is National Grilled Cheese Month.
As a true-blue fan of this sandwich art-form, I had to create a special sandwich for this month-long celebration.
You might be thinking that grilled cheese sandwiches might not be on the menu in a Welcoming Kitchen. No gluten? No dairy? Honestly, it's no problem!
This sandwich is gooey and crispy, while tasting fresh and spicy. The structure of the sandwich is a quesadilla made from corn tortillas (or other tortilla of your choosing) with the flavorful new Daiya offering Jalapeno Garlic Havarti Style Wedge. (If you read this blog, you know that I'm a huge fan of Daiya. No, they didn't provide me with anything to sing their praises.)
The center of the sandwich has marinated cabbage, a little chives for that onion-y flavor without the bad breath, tomatoes and avocado.
I bet you're drooling now. You'd better hurry up and make this before April ends. Oh, who am I kidding? I eat grilled cheeses all year round!
I shared this recipe with Allergy Friendly Lunchbox Love , Allergy Friendly Fridays and Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays.
Spicy Crunchy Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Makes 2 sandwiches
1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh-squeezed, if possible)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon agave nectar
dash of salt
a couple of grinds of pepper
1 tablespoon chives, finely diced
1 cup shredded cabbage
4 corn tortillas
2 ounces Daiya Jalapeno Garlic Havarti Wedge non-dairy cheese (or other vegan cheese)
tomato slices
avocado chunks
1. Combine lime juice, olive oil, agave and salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
2. Add chives and cabbage to dressing, toss, and set aside.
3. Over a medium flame, cook 2 quesadillas (tortilla, cheese, tortilla stack for each) until cheese is melted, flipping halfway through -- about 3-4 minutes total.
4. Remove quesadillas from heat, cut in half.
5. Make a sandwich with one half of a quesadilla on the bottom, half of the salad, tomatoes and avocado in the middle, and the other half of the quesadilla on top. Repeat for second sandwich.
Happy Cooking!
