NEW YORK (AP) Ś Muslim advocates and scholars are stepping up pressure on the Sept. 11 museum to edit or at least let more scholars see a documentary movie exhibit about al-Qaida before the museumĺs opening this month.
Muslim groups began expressing concerns after members of the museumĺs interfaith clergy advisory panel raised alarms last month that the movie unfairly links Islam and terrorism. One member resigned in protest.
Now the Council on American-Islamic Relationsĺ New York chapter has asked the public to send letters to officials urging the removal of any ôanti-Islamic terminology.ö Meanwhile, about 400 history and religion professors and executives from other museums asked the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum to let a broad scholarly group evaluate the brief movie.
ôLabels to describe organizations such as al-Qaeda are heavily disputed among academics, and in a public environment, without proper explanation and historical context, these terms could easily mislead and assign collective responsibility to Muslims and Islam,ö they wrote.
A museum spokesman had no immediate comment Monday, but Executive Director Joe Daniels has said the museum stands by the scholarship underlying the brief documentary, called ôThe Rise of Al Qaedaö and narrated by NBC anchor Brian Williams.
Daniels said museum officials were satisfied the film was ôobjectively telling the story of what happened.ö
The interfaith clergy group, however, asked museum officials in a letter last month to re-edit the film to make it clear that not all Muslims support the terrorists who conducted the 2001 attacks, which killed thousands of people at the World Trade Center. An imam, Sheikh Mostafa Elazabawy, of the Masjid Manhattan mosque, resigned from the advisory panel over the issue, saying in a separate letter that the film, unless changed, would ôgreatly offendö Muslim visitors.
The museum opens May 21.

Original post made by Palo Alto Parent on Apr 29, 2014
"Verde described an environment in which rape was considered excusable and the victim is often blamed for their involvement," the Campanile story recounts.
The Verde articles last year sparked discussion within the Paly school community, and also gained attention in local and national media, and may have contributed to the June 2013 opening of an OCR Title IX investigation of sexual harassment at Paly. These "unforeseen repercussions have shaken up the district and the Palo Alto community ever since," according to the Campanile.
The Campanile article describes events related to the ongoing OCR investigation, and also explores the role of streaking at Paly in possibly contributing to a culture that has eroded the environment for women and girls on the Paly campus.
"Many argue that streaking is entirely unrelated to the OCR investigation. However, as more details and definitions are brought into the light, the separation between streaking and the rape culture begin to grow more and more hazy," the article states.
"Rape culture…encompasses several issues, but essentially boils down to an environment of hostility toward women, where sexual harassment is normalized and accepted."
The Campanile article concludes that rape culture is "an issue within high schools across the nation and should be treated as such," arguing that solutions to rectify the situation at Paly will "only work to solve a singular problem within a larger issue."
Paly grad and former Verde editor Evelyn Wang, who worked on the rape culture articles, believes that the OCR investigation will only benefit the school culture overall, according to the Campanile article.
"I support any steps that will improve our society and institutions' treatment of sexual harassment, violence and assault," Wang is quoted as saying.
The entire Campanile article can be found at this link:

Thank you Palo Alto Parent!
Yes, this may be an issue across the nation. No - this is not a good excuse.
It seems to me that this issue is not disconnected from the other issues which brought the OCR to PAUSD, the culture, fear of retaliation that was mentioned so many times, etc.
I am reminded again of LaToya Baldwin Clark, who spoke at the PAUSD board meeting after the (first) OCR case became public knowledge. She noted that a recognizing bullying does not call for legal education; heart should suffice. Common sense comes in handy. I noted the link where she can be watched here - Web Link
I also noted (Dec 20, 2013) that "...That goes back to the law of the land, where there is no accountability, no transparency. This is a land where common sense was not exercised, a wild west where imperfect policies are irrelevant..." And so it continues.
on Apr 30, 2014 at 6:18 am
The article quotes Skelly saying that he has no idea why OCR would be interested in sexual harassment at Paly. At exactly the same time that Skelly secretly had to airlift the principal out of Paly for sexual harassment. You have to admire the chutzpah.
on Apr 30, 2014 at 10:15 am
The Campanile article reports that superintendent Kevin Skelly and Paly principal Kim Diorio believe that the OCR's decision to initiate its own investigation of sexual harassment at Palyknown as a "compliance review"-- is an extraordinary course of action on the part of the federal agency.
"After being debriefed by the PAUSD attorney, Diorio revealed that the circumstances surrounding the current investigation are unprecedented," the Campanile reported.
"This is a highly unusual case, because the agency usually starts a case because an individual has a complaint…In this situation, nobody from the school had a complaint," Diorio said, according to the Campanile article.
Information about compliance reviews, their incidence and the reasons for initiating them can be found on OCR's website:
Web Link
For example, in OCR's 2009 report to Congress:
"In addition to resolving complaints, OCR initiates compliance reviews and takes other proactive steps to focus on specific compliance issues that are particularly acute or national in scope. It has been OCR's experience that targeted compliance reviews and proactive initiatives increase the impact of OCR's resources, complement the complaint resolution process, and can benefit larger numbers of students than sole reliance on complaint resolutions, which may involve only one student. Compliance review sites are selected based on various sources of information, including information provided by parents, education groups, media, community organizations, and the public, and, in certain circumstances, on statistical data if they are supported by other sources of information."
This report states that in 2007, OCR initiated 23 compliance reviews; in 2008, it initiated 42.
See full report at:
Web Link
OCR's 2012 report to the President discusses further the incidence and reasons for use of the compliance review enforcement action:
"In the past four years, OCR launched more than 100 compliance reviews
proactive, broad-scale, systemwide investigations of issues of strategic significance. Recognizing a need for greater coherence and strategic focus in its compliance review docket, OCR implemented, during this time, a collaborative, data-driven process to guide its attorneys and investigators through multiple steps of analysisincluding a comprehensive examination of each proposed proactive investigation with regard to its need and priority, causes of concern, geography, severity, impact and other relevant information. With coordination and support from national headquarters, each regional office throughout the country now annually launches compliance reviews that are designed to effect significant change at the target
institutions and provide widely applicable solutions to civil rights problems faced by institutions elsewhere….
"OCR's compliance reviews have dealt with never-before addressed issues, keeping pace with emerging concerns and questions arising under the civil rights laws that OCR enforces, including sexual violence at the K12 and postsecondary levels; comparability of resources; bullying and harassment; booster clubs and the distribution of athletic dollars and resources; charter schools and authorizers; state transportation support for students with disabilities; shortened school days; food allergies; access to college- and career-preparatory courses and services; disproportionate discipline rates; minority over-representation in special education
programs and under-representation in talented and gifted programs; and access to electronic and web-based educational resources."

Local health-insurance marketplaces struggle to get people enrolled
Kaiser Health News / The Washington Post, April 1, 2013
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — With almost one in five residents in Palm Beach County lacking health insurance, officials here thought they had hit on a smart solution. The county launched a program that offered subsidized coverage to residents who could not afford private insurance but who made too much to qualify for Medicaid, the state-federal program for the poor. Enrollees would be able to buy policies for about $52 a month — far cheaper than what private insurers were offering. But a year after the program began, fewer than 500 people had signed up — less than a third of the number expected.

Family Caregivers in Cancer: Roles and Challenges (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - The Caregiver's Perspective: Across the Illness Trajectory
Caregivers have their own emotional responses to patients' diagnoses and prognoses, and they may require coaching and emotional support separate from that offered to patients.[1,2] Caregiver roles and caregiver burden are profoundly affected by a patient's prognosis, stage of illness, and goals of care. The existing body of work on family caregivers of patients with cancer focuses primarily on a caregiver's adjustment during the acute survivorship phase, from the time of diagnosis to 2 years postdiagnosis.[3]
As open communication and diagnostic disclosure for patients have gained in popularity, studies have focused on the impact of truth-telling on patients, and guidelines for such communication have been developed.[4,5] Although caregivers are sometimes included in these studies, little attention has been paid to caregivers' specific informational needs and preferences for diagnostic information or to caregivers' readiness or willingness to integrate this new medical information. Yet a caregiver is expected to learn new illness-related terminology, enter the new treatment setting with the cancer patient, and participate actively in treatment decision making. For all of these reasons, caregivers experience a complex array of powerful emotions that may equal or surpass those experienced by the patient during diagnosis and treatment.[6,7,8]

Read the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma article > >
At Diagnosis
Family caregivers in the United States are expected to take an active role in decision making related to treatment options, beginning during the diagnostic phase. The caregiver is expected to do the following:[8]
- Integrate new medical information.
- Learn new illness-related terminology.
- Enter a new treatment setting.
- Find the time to accompany the patient to medical appointments.
During Hospitalization and Treatment
Caregivers play an important role in making decisions about treatment and care. The family often steps in as a patient's advocate and primary decision maker at the request of the patient. How well a caregiver fulfills that role may depend on his or her preexisting relationship with the patient and the level of agreement between caregiver and patient. Disagreements and conflicts can complicate decision making and affect treatment choices.[9] In addition, disagreement within the family about the most appropriate treatment options for the patient can cause excessive stress for both patients and caregivers, resulting in diminished quality of life.[10]
The Cancer Communication Assessment Tool for Patients and Families (CCAT-PF) is an instrument that assesses congruence in patient-caregiver communication. The tool can be used on patients, caregivers, or both and identifies specific areas of conflict that may be amenable to intervention. In the initial validation study, higher CCAT-PF scores were significantly correlated with the following:[11]
- Greater patient depression.
- Higher perceived family conflict.
- Lower patient and caregiver well-being.
- Less expressiveness.
- Lower perceived family cohesion.
The CCAT-PF can be administered by any member of the oncology team.

Diagnostic Errors Found in 1 of 4 ICU Patient Deaths
As many as 40,500 American adults may die in hospital intensive care units each year because their critical care teams didn't accurately diagnose their illnesses, according to a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine review of 30 international papers that examined autopsy results.
That's more people than die each year of breast cancer in the U.S. or from bloodstream infections acquired in the ICU, the researchers say. And many more patients suffer harm from care provided for the wrong condition.
"The bottom line is that these were misdiagnoses made by the ICU staff," says Bradford Winters, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and lead author of the paper.
"We hope this article is a wake-up call so people realize the impact this has," Winters adds.
He notes that most of the thrust of the articles the researchers reviewed "lament the lost art of the autopsy," because autopsies in hospitals or in coronor's offices have been steeply declining over the years, in part because of their expense.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

A Mexican-inspired spice paste, highlighting the smoky, mild flavor of ancho chilies, adds plenty of flavor to lean, pink, and juicy pork tenderloins. Ever since 2011, when the USDA lowered its recommended internal temperature for pork tenderloin to 145 degrees (with a three-minute resting period) you don't have to settle for tough, dry meat. All kinds of pickled vegetables, most famously jalapenos, are an integral part of the Mexican table. Here we underscore the Mexican theme with onions and cabbage in a light pickle to go with the pork.
Save one of the tenderloins for a healthy version of carnitas, traditionally consisting of fatty bits of pork rendered crisp and golden in pork fat. Saute the meat until it turns crisp, add some with the pickle to warmed corn tortillas. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime and you get similar, guilt-free results.

My business and simply the way I work has changed dramatically over the past 12 months. To give a very brief overview of my current situation, I have a job involving 4 key sites and a number of ad-hoc locations, a business which looks after a number of residential and business customers, and I like to write, like I am right now. I also enjoy time with my friends and family and try my best to make that time available. In all no easy feat. But the past year has seen me develop my working habits to the point that I've completely moved away from my office locations and become almost completely mobile. This is how I do it, and more importantly, how I keep on top of my work.Read full article...

REVIEW: Will the O2 Hurricane Canless Air unit get you to ditch canned air?
When CanlessAir.com offered to send me a sample of their flagship product, the Hurricane Canless Air System, I couldn't resist the offer. Like most other technicians out there, I heavily invested in compressed (canned) air for most technical work up until about two years ago. I still keep canned air around for when my beloved air compressor just won't fit the bill (like going into downtown Chicago on the train) and it's still expensive as it ever was.
The premise of the Hurricane Canless Air unit is pretty simple: ditch the canned air that you have to re-purchase consistently, and invest in a piece of equipment like any other that resides in your tool bag. More specifically, a tool that can be recharged numerous times (over 500 times, they claim – equivalent to 1000 cans of air) and provide consistent operation each and every time. All this in the size of a product that is truly not much larger than a decently sized can of compressed air.

Process Hanging? Troubleshoot with WhatIsHang

"This is a historic development for gaming, not just in Nevada but potentially nationwide," said Kirk Sanford, CEO and Founder of Sightline Payments. "The gaming industry has long lagged behind the broader economy in its utilization of electronic payments. The action by the Commission clears the way to bring the benefits of electronic payments to both gaming operators and gaming patrons. We're grateful that Nevada has taken the first step, and we plan to pursue similar regulatory initiatives in other jurisdictions."
The regulatory amendments represent a significant but deliberate step forward in bringing electronic payments to gaming in Nevada, and come after more than two years of discussions by Sightline with regulators, responsible gaming advocates, gaming operators and gaming equipment suppliers. Showing appropriate sensitivity to responsible gaming concerns, Nevada law bans the use of credit cards at games and gaming devices in Nevada. The use of debit cards has been a theoretical possibility for several years now, but regulators had previously been unwilling to authorize the use of traditional debit cards. Prepaid Access Instruments, as defined in the regulations and as further limited by technical standards to be adopted in the near future, have satisfied the regulatory concerns that had previously prevented the implementation of cashless wagering.
In testimony before the Nevada Gaming Commission, Harry Hagerty, President of Sightline Payments, stated, "The consensus view is that Prepaid Access Instruments represent the best possible way of realizing the electronic wagering account transfers that have been contemplated by - but not specifically enabled by – the Nevada regulations for nearly 14 years now."
Sightline's award-winning Loyalty Card Plus® prepaid solution has already been put into use by three online gaming operators in New Jersey (Borgata, PartyPoker and Golden Nugget). Sightline expects to launch its prepaid solution for other online and race & sports customers in the near future. Today's regulatory action clears the way for Sightline to work with Nevada casino operators to bring prepaid to the core of their business: slot machines and table games.

many uncertainties remain which leave in doubt ihesize, and scope of the Chinese program. In general, thetaking more time in the development and production ofsystems than we judged likely several years ago. Chinabroad base in technical and economic resources essential toin the complex field of modem weapons. This situationaggravated, and will to some degree be prolonged, by theconfusion, and uncertainties of the domestic political situation.

long as ihe Chinese strategic force remainsondition which is likely to persist beyond thethis estimate, the Chinese will almost certainly recognize thatuse of their nuclear weapons againsl neighbors or thewould involve substantial risksevastatingChina.
II. We believe that for reasons of national prestige the Chinese will attempt toatellite as soon as possible. An attempt this year would probably involve the useodified MRBMaunch vehicle.
i. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
hinese efforts to develop modem weapons go back to at. The original program that took shape wilh Soviet technological and material assistance appeared to be extremelyt thai time Chinese expectations for rapid progress in the nuclear field andange of tactical and strategic missiles appeared to he high. Bul the sudden withdrawal of Soviet technicians0 and tbe economic confusion and depression of theesulting from the Grcai Leapevere impact on the advanced weapons program. Nevertheless, despite economic and political crises Peking persisted in giving high priority to development of advanced weapons and gradually progress was made.
A more rational program concentrating on research and development) in nuclear weapons, surface-to-air, and medium-range ballistic missileseemed to emerge.e[>orUng began to suggestChinese interest in an intercontinental ballistic missilev the end6 the Chinese had demonstrated their understanding of the basicof thermonuclear design.he MRBM program was judged likely lo have reached the stage where deployment tould soon begin and Ihe ICBM program was considered likely to haw reached the stage where missile testing could start.
Subsequent events, however, showed tliat the Chinese program had probably not advanced as far as we had believed, and, in general, tho programs have not moved forward as last as we once thought likely. Wc have received noof activity related to the ronstiuction ol operational sites for MRBMs, and there have been no indications that ICBM flight testing has occurred. The record of the last two years thus raises some perplexing and complicatedabout the pace and direction of the Chinese elicit and what factors control it.
A principal problem is that there is no adequate historical background lor judging Chinas technical and industrial capabilities for producing andweapons systems embodying advanced technologies. It could be argued, for example, that most of the progress in modem weapons recorded thus far has been, and that China, possessingmall pool of skilled and highly trained technicians and few sophisticated industrial plants, will face many delays and setliacks in moving on lo series production and deployment of intricate weapon systems. On the other hand. It could be argued tliat die advantages to China of following the pioneering work of others and the benefits of being able tu obtain much useful data, materials, and equipment from abroad will help lo
ihc time required to accomplish programs. On balance, ihe record seems increasingly tu indicate that Ihe Chinese arc in fact taking more time in tbe development and production of modern weapons systems thau wc judged likely on the basis of their progress several years ago.
Moreover, the chances for any marked improvement are reduced by the unhealthy political situation in China. Although it is not possibleinpoint where damage lias beenlient is good evidence that the disruptions of the Cultural Revolution have intruded into the organizations responsible for military science and technology and tbe governmental ministries in charge nf nuclear and missile development.7 andndustrial production in general declined as did imports frumnf specializedandood portion ol which is ot the type Ihat in Ihe past has been used in Chinese advanced weapons programs.
The present trend oi events in China seems, however, to be toward regaining order. But at the same time there arc indications that Peking is persisting with policies that are likely to erode efficiency and managerial control still further. These, policies reflect Mao Tse-tung's determination to 'reform" intellectuals, whom he deeply distrusts, and his belief that somehow through exhortation and "revolutionary" practices the creativity and productivity of the masses can be released. Perhaps the most lasting arid damaging impact of Maoist policies will he on education which lias already suffered three years of severe disruption. The shortening of school terms, die politically .nil ideologically laden curricula, and the criteria for selecting and promoting students now being inflicted ou Chinese education could, if long continued, severely hamper China's technological progress five orears hence.
The Chinese already have in place many ofnd production facilities necessary lo support an important ongoing advanced weaponsBut the intrusion of political disorder has been disruptive; its ultimate cost will depend, of course, on the time it takes to re-establish political and administrative order.
S. Evenestoration of order, the overall capacity of tbe Chinese economy will remain limited for many years. Il will be able toarge-scale produciion and deployment program for strategic weapons only by scrimping or neglextmg the investment requirements for healthy growth in agriculture and in the general industrial sector. We believe the hard facts of their Overall economic situation will weigh heavily iu considering the size and pace of weapon system deployment
here is little evidence un Chinese thiukiug with respect to the role advanced weapons could play in their overall strategy. Chinese leadersbelieve that possession of strategic weapons will greatly enhance China's prestige and strengthen its claims to leadership in Asia aud its stilusroat power. Ihc Chinese probably hope that possessiontrategic capa-
bilify will also have more tangible benefits including greater security ii.rrsvlunoriary struggles, particularly in Asia,e-stened danger of nuclear urikes on China. Finally, they would also hope any confrontation would be brafted to tbe level of coovcntkmal arms where the Chinese would cipret lo be able to fight more nearly oo their own terms- Moreover, as their relations with Moscow have deteriorated and as the Soviets haveilitaiy buildup on the Siuo-Suviet border, lbc Chinese piobably have thought of their strategic weapons devTloyjmciit also in terms of deterring the Soviets.
evertheless. Chinese military planners roust recofrruie that in thefuture China cannot begin to match the nuclear striking capability of the superpowers- They probably also realize that the deterrent credibility of their first-generation missile systems will be limited because these systems wouldoor chance of surviving an offensive strike against China. These circuinst antes raise several possibilities for the future of Chinese strategic weapons deploytneiit. Peking might opt for only token deployment* ol firs! generation systems in order to concentrate resources jimI energy on unprmc-raetifs and refinements that would lead to better weapons that would appearhreat andeterrent On the other hand, the Chinese might concludearger Initial deployment of weapons,of the technical capabilities, would still enhance tlieir political position, especially in Asia, andonsiderable psychological impact on the US.
IL Another strategic choice eonfrceiling the Chinese is the balance inlimited resourni between uiteicnntinental and regional strategic forces and between weapons systems within the regionalather thanall resources on, say, an ICBM program, tbr Chinese may believe that they could more quickly enhance tlieir overall military posture bysome nf their limited meansone which uould threaten much of Asia. Within the regional force concept, for example, the idea of producing moreew TL'-IO bombers as weapons tamers might become more attractive to Ihe Chinese if Ihey encountered serious difficulties with their MRBM
n sum, tbe future of Chinas advanced weapons development depends not only on political and strategic questions but on technical and wonornlc capabilities as well. Tbes to how all these factors might Infloence various weapons programs suggest caution in estimating the probable rate of progress over the next few years, particularly with respect to the production and deployment of complex and costly missile systems.
A. The Nuclear Program
eapon Testing and Development. Peking's most notable achievements base probably been in tlie field of nuclear weapons design. The Chinese fuse concentrated their effort nn thermonuclear weapons and have rapidly suc-

CHINESE NUCl-EAK TESTS
. t
B. Nucleor Materials Production
onsidering the prolwble initial operational capability (IOC) dates and deployment levels of Cliioesc delivery systems, stringencies in the supply of fissionable material' are not likely to be an immediate major problem. This is not to say that the Chinese have not hud problems In this area. Earlierof plutonium, for example, would have been helpful in weapons develop, ment. But with the accumulated output, and with plutoniumavailable, Bssiouable materials production will probably be able lo keep pace with modest initial deployment programs.
IS. We are still uncertain as to tin- exact process being used forat the Lanchou uranium isotope separation facility'. |
| The availability ol plutonium ana
roduction, however, will help considerably to relieve any such constraint.
here is good evidence that thereuclear energy complex near Yumen. We believe this complexarge plutonium reactor and chemical scpara-tion facilities. J
c believe thai for the next several years, ar leasl, tbe supply of Chinese fissionable materials will be limited lo the output from the Yumen reactor andlant at Lanchou. While this will probably be sufficient fur their needs during this period, in the longer term tht- Chinese probably will seek to expand capacity, especiallyroduction.
C Delivery Systems
hr SI RUM Program. In7ared that MRBM deployment might be Imminent. Though detailed information was lacking, it was known thai th* Chinese had been working on an MBBM type missile for several years.ur information indkated thai activity at the Shuang-chrtig-tAiluvkened. In Octobertbe Chuu-te claimed thai they haduclear device deliveredissile. Byt seemedevsorsabfy paced developnieni program would have progressed to the point at which troop training might be about to take place preliminary to deployment.
Since then we have received no information indicating that operational lauucli site construction Las begun. It is possible that MRBM site preparation is underway, but we are inclined to believe that same indication of this type of construction would become available not long after it bad begun.
It is not possible to explain the apparent delay with much confidence. Technical problems with the missile itself could account for it, but ourdoes not enable us toirm judgment.
It is alto possible, that the Cultural Revolution may have slowed progress in some way. As noted earlier, it could be that priorities assigned to the nuclear developnu sit program are influencing tbe deployment schedule. BVSJB thethat tbe Chinese have never intended to deploy theirile MRBM cannot he completely ruled out. It could be that tbe principal purpose of the MltHM jwogram was to develop torlinology for an ICBM and that tbe Chinese have elected to await devekipincntissile moretoone usine solidate deploying MRBMs.
This seems unlikely, however, as there is evidence that the Chi near are continuingropelled MRBM frrings. and we believe that theyeventually to deploy this system. We tsOmate that tbe missile probably has radio-inertial guidance and uses storablc propcllants The system probably is road traiisportablr. but il is likely that missiles would he deployed at fixed sites involving permanent support facilities. Tbe generally poor road network in Chirm and the likely level of Chinese missile development suggest that initial deployment would be at soft sites near rail linos.
t is possible Ihat thi'! system Is now ready to deploy. If so, and the earliest possible operational capability was their goal, the Chinese could soon deploy the missile in rudimentary field launch positions. This approach would downgrade the idi.ihilily and accuracy of the system. Moreover, if MRBMwere In begin soon, it would almost certainly have toitb warheads based on tbe fourth test, which would mean that thr Oiinesc liad tied up fusionablr material in the production of an meflicsrirt warhead
uch more likely prospect is that the Chinese will take the time to prepare permanent sites with adequate support racilif i'i It would probably' take tbeear or more to prepare their first permanent launchThus, if site preparation should begin soon, it would still be sometime0 before the Chinese bad an operational MRBM capability.
2b. We have no good basis for estimating the size of the MRBM force that might be deployed. It continues to seem probable that tho Chinese objective might be to provide coverage of important mlbtary bases and population centers In the arc stretching from Japan through the Philippines, Southeast Alia, and northern India, hoping iu this way to hold Asian countrln* hostage against any
Surenarine technology, but. even ifsm already started sroei on designing such athey wouhl probably not he able to develop it before thet the carhest.
D. The ICBM Program
M. There is evidence thut umstnictionarge launch facility was begun at ihe SCTMTK in the late suirtmcrut there are no indications that the facility has evesused for firings. It is not yet passible to make firm rodgmeiits about the imputations of this delay. We believe st is probable, how-evei. that the Chinese ICBM program as originally envisioned has undeegone Important change.
wo continue to believe that Ihe ICBM and MltBMbeen closely related ami Uiat the most logical approach for the:use remains one which utill/cs the clustering ol MRBM engines tothmst level required lor an ICBM engine We also continue tn Wlicvcmissile will psobablywo-stag* vehicleeet in length | ^
The question of when the Chinese might begin test firingsifficult one. particularly in viewossible program change. But wc assume that lliglu testing could begin sometime this year. It should be pointed out. however, that there frequently hnve been long lapses between various phases In Chuicse jirograms, and tbere is lonsidcrafalc reason to doubt tliat China's ICBMwill proceed smoothly from one phase tu another.
From whatever time the Chinese beginis likely to require at least three years to achieve an IOC Thus, if tight testing were to begin later this year, tbe earhest possible IOC would probably beowever, this allows tbe Chineseit more time than required by tbe Soviets or tho US with Brst-generalion ICBMs and assumes fairly .smooth progress. In tlie light of China's inexperience and limited technical and scientific base, and considering general political and economic conditions in China, more time will probably be required. Thus. IOC is mure likely to be latererhaps by as much a> two or three years.
c have no basis al this time for estimating how far tlie Chinese will carry deployment af thesr first generitioi) ICBM. In view of the requirements of other military programs and tbe pressure on resources, however, we believe deployment will proceedoderate pace and well below any possibleBy moderate we mean that if the Chinese achieved the earliest possible
IOC ofhe number of operational ICBM launchers5 might fall somewhere betweenn the more likely event that IOC is later, the achievementorce of this size would slip accordingly.
I Problems of this sort could lead the Chinese to limit deployment oi im5 Mil generation systemery small force.
In this connection, we noteolid propellant facility at Ilu-ho-hao-tc reportedly has engine test laeillties which suggest that rocket engines up to ICBM size cnuld be produced there.ajor attempt toecond generation system would almost certainly retard deployment of their Erst system, it is possible that the Chinese are looking aheadolid-fueled ICBM which cnuld be deployed fairly readily in hardened sites. The Chinese probably would nut be able toolid propellant ICBM5 at the earliesl-

Thean effective chaff system and of sophisticated, endoatmosphcric decoyscould not be accomplishedultiple reentry vehicles areto bo available by Ibis time. Though Ihe first generation warheadsome inherent hardness, we have no basis for making quantitativethe hardness of dus or future warheads.
E. Space Program
We believe that lor reasons of national prestige tho Chinese will attempt toatellite as soon as possible. Tbe Chinese probably9articularly auspicious year for such an event, combining as it doesh aimiversary of the Chinese People's Republic and the planned 9th Party Congress.
It is possible Ihat the Chinese might have an ICBM booster ready this yearpace shot. But. in view of tbe lad that the Chinese would almost certainly first want lo Wight tesl Iheir ICBM booster, this seems unlikely. Thus wc believe that if the Chinese attempt toatellite this year ihey willmodify their MRBM lor usepace booster.

She must have been the cutest mandolin player ever to jam in a Texas catfish restaurant named Charlie's. Sarah Jarosz was 10 years old and she was on her way, a pint-sized future star in bluegrass and Americana. Now 22, she has become a formidable songwriter.
Jarosz has played the Grand Ole Opry, Conan, Austin City Limits. She just graduated from the New England Conservatory and released her third album, Build Me Up From Bones, which earned two Grammy noms. In June she performs at the 20th Century Theatre, and after that, it's a UK tour with her trio, then back to the U.S. with performances opening for Nickel Creek.
Speaking from her "original home" (her parents' house in Wimberley, Texas), Jarosz, who now lives in Manhattan, explains the origins of one particularly powerful new song, "Fuel the Fire": "A lot of it," she says, "is inspired by being a young woman in the music business and trying to make a career for myself at an early age and all the challenges you face in a business that's often controlled by men. I've worked really hard to be a confident musician." Picking the banjo, telling it, this artist is on fire. Fuel provided.

Fast facts: Sept. 11 victim aid and compensation
Updated On: Sep 11 2013 05:59:13 AM CDT
Here is some background about the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund and the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010.
From 2001-2003 the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund processed claims relating to injuries and deaths caused by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Donald Sterling has a lot to answer for in the wake of his racist comments that TMZ made public late last night. While he has yet to say anything — well, other than the comments that have landed him in boiling water — others around the NBA are and the consensus seems to be that Sterling is a racist moron.
Magic Johnson is leading the charge and is calling for fans, specifically African American fans, to boycott Clippers games.
Magic says he strongly believes the players should focus on playing basketball and should NOT boycott Sunday's playoff game. BUT, Magic thinks African Americans should not line Sterling's pockets by going to the games, saying, "He wants our money but doesn't want us to show up."
Sterling's comments couldn't be any more mind boggling than they currently are and there's no getting out of it. Johnson has a very valid point in that there should be a boycott but not of just African American fans but fans of all races. Sterling's comments sting anyone with a conscious and it's going to be hard to go to a Clippers game and pay Donald Sterling knowing full well that you're paying a racist.
The Clippers players deserve support but that shouldn't come with the stigma of paying Donald Sterling to do so.

School of Nursing Hosts Future of Nursing Initiative Meeting
On Thursday, November 17, the St. John Fisher College Wegmans School of Nursing hosted representatives from all of the associate degree nursing programs, and collegiate RN-to-BS degree programs in the Finger Lakes area for a meeting regarding the Future of Nursing Initiative.
The group, co-chaired by Dr. Dianne Cooney Miner, discussed strategies that would achieve recommendations put forth by the Institute of Medicine that 80% of the nursing workforce be baccalaureate-prepared by 2020.
During the meeting, the group identified the importance of collaboration among all programs, as well as the importance of building on work that has already been accomplished by the Baccalaureate and Associate Degree Councils of Nurse Educators. In addition, they discussed challenges and innovative potential programs.
Dr. Cynthia McCloskey, Director, Graduate Program in Advanced Practice Nursing in the School of Nursing, is leading the initiative in the Finger Lakes region. She has been working behind the scenes with the leaders of the regional team, orienting them to the initiative and devising an action plan. Next steps will include additional meetings among the leaders and nurse volunteers for a kick-off event in March 2012.

Lessons For Entrepreneurs To Learn From Good Incubators
By Martin at March 31, 2014 | 8:07 am | 0 Comment
More and more entrepreneurs are hearing about the successful graduates and investors queued behind a few well-known startup incubators, including Y Combinator, TechStars, and the Founder Institute. They dream of appearing at the door, with their idea on the back of a napkin, and popping out a few months later with investor money to burn. The reality is far more...
Why Investors & Incubators Need To Look At Pre-Incubation?
By Guest Post at August 3, 2011 | 10:59 am | 0 Comment
Why Investors & Incubators Need To Look At Pre-Incubation This week, I've had several meetings with venture funds, incubators, corporate accelerators and other significant players in the startup eco-system. One theme seems to come up over and again, especially from geographies outside Silicon Valley: lack of a reliable pipeline of deals. On July 1, 2006, more...

text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 242302 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 602 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2014 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 303 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 Quiet weather is expected through the short-term, as upper-level ridging dominates the weather. Any convection that occurs tonight will develop well to the northwest across central/western Iowa along a slow-moving cold front. This activity will lift northeastward into Wisconsin on Monday, remaining well north of the KILX CWA. Potential outflow boundary from this convection will stay to the north as well, as synoptic subsidence keeps skies mostly clear. As a result, have removed slight chance PoPs from the far north Monday afternoon. Main story will be the heat, as high temperatures on Monday will be a degree or two warmer than today. Afternoon highs on will climb into the lower to middle 90s, with peak heat index values reaching 105 degrees or higher across the whole CWA. && .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 303 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 First concern this forecast period is the heat that will be a continuance from the short term into Tuesday. Also, with the models slowing the front from coming into the area, have decided to expand the advisory to include the rest of the CWA and to extend the advisory into Tuesday afternoon. The front will get closer to the area Tuesday and this could bring some pcpn into the northern parts of the CWA during the day. This pcpn and cloud cover could keep the northern three counties from getting heat advisory criteria, but will let the day shift cancel there early if need be. So, advisory has been expanded in area and extended in time into Tuesday. The cold front will advect into the area Tue night and Wed and this will lead to a chance of thunderstorms progressing south and covering the whole CWA by Wednesday. Unfortunately, this front is forecast to remain over or near the CWA through the week and into the weekend. So, the rest of the extended forecast has a chance of thunderstorms for most of the CWA through Sunday. The positive side to this is that with pcpn and clouds over the area through the period, the temperatures will be cooler than this past week. It appears afternoon high temps will be around normal, which is in the middle 80s. Lows will drop back down into the 60s as well. MOS guidance looks to be on the warm side for high temps, given the pcpn and clouds forecasted to be in the area through the period. Low temps look to be ok. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) ISSUED AT 600 PM CDT SUN AUG 24 2014 VFR conditions will continue thru the evening with another chance for patchy fog bringing MVFR or local IFR vsbys in the 09z-13z time frame. Quiet weather expected this forecast period with high pressure firmly establised aloft and expected to hold over our area thru Monday evening. Forecast soundings showing any fog that develops early Monday morning should quickly lift with mainly few-sct cumulus at around 4000 feet developing by late morning or early afternoon. Surface winds tonight will light southeasterly at 5 kts or less and then become south to southwest on Monday at around 10 kts. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING until 7 PM CDT Tuesday FOR ILZ042-047>054- 056-061>063-066>068-071>073. HEAT ADVISORY until 7 PM CDT Tuesday FOR ILZ036-040-041. HEAT ADVISORY from Noon Monday to 7 PM CDT Tuesday FOR ILZ027>031-037-038-043>046-055-057. && $$ SHORT TERM...BARNES LONG TERM...AUTEN AVIATION...SMITH

It's been well over a year since we started Sammamish Patch, and now that we're welcoming Issaquah into the site, we're more proud than ever to be part of the community. Thanks for your warm support so far.
So for new users in Issaquah, we want to let you know all the ways you can use Patch, and for our active Sammamish community we want to remind you why we're here and what this site is all about.
Simply put, it's still about you.
Sammamish-Issaquah Patch gives you plenty of opportunities to comment on stories, share your opinions, post photos and announcements, and add events to the community calendar. We hope that our site will strengthen the community, but we can't do it without you. So let's get to it!
1. Comment on an Article
We subscribe to the idea that "news is a conversation." Much of our reporting will emanate from what readers tell us in e-mails, comments on our sites and in conversations around town. Share your thoughts and reactions to our articles by posting a comment directly below each story.
2. Post an Event
Do you know of a book signing at our local bookstore, a celebrity chef appearing at a cooking store or an art exhibit at a local coffee shop? Is there a garage sale or graduation ceremony coming up? If it's not on our Patch calendar, it should be. Feel free to add your event to our site at sammamish.patch.com/events/new.
3. Post an Announcement
Post births, engagements and wedding announcements. Tell us who made the honor roll or share school awards, social notes and thank you shout outs. If you're looking for volunteers or searching for your lost dog, we welcome you to call on your community for help. Just remember, our Terms of Service say announcements should be for personal use and not for advertising.
4. Claim Your Directory Listing
Our business and organization listings aren't skimpy. Our team of researchers actually hit the streets and visited businesses, schools, parks, libraries and more so we can provide photos as well as detailed information such as products sold and hours of operation. To contact us about the listing for your business or organization, e-mail us at email@example.com. If you own or manage a business or organization in our directory, claim it at sammamish.patch.com/listings.
5. Review Businesses
Do you want to be the first to tell your friends whether the new restaurant in town gets two thumbs-up? Like your local hardware store? Are the clothes on the rack at a Kentucky Street shop the real deal? You can post a review of your favorite (or least favorite) business on any listing at sammamish.patch.com/listings.
6. Social Media Engagement
Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/SammamishPatch and follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/SammamishPatch. Immerse yourself in our content and actively contribute and engage via social media. Let's start a conversation together.

At the bottom of the homepage, there's a link that says, "Send Us News Tips." Tell us about stories we should cover. Your tip will be sent straight to the editor at firstname.lastname@example.com.
8. Sign Up for Newsletters
The daily Sammamish-Issaquah Patch newsletter brings you all articles and announcements that have been posted in the last 24 hours. It is delivered to your e-mail every day at 6 a.m. You can also sign up for the weekly newsletter, which shows a subset of the content created and featured on our site over the last few days. It is delivered every Thursday at 10 a.m.
9. Upload Your Photos and Video
Upload videos of the high football touchdown or your Sumner Little Leaguer's first home run. Post photos from local festivals, or send in a snapshot of your best holiday recipes. We invite you to share the memories that you've caught on camera with the rest of the community.
10. Send a Letter to the Editor
Patch would like to extend an invitation to every member of the community to submit a letter to the editor. Express your thoughts or concerns about anything that might be stirring up conversation around town, and we'll post it. Make sure it's not longer than 300 words and email it to Editor Lauren Padgett at email@example.com.
The more Sammamish-Issaquah Patch serves as on online space for community dialogue, the more useful our site will be. So next time you have something to share with your neighbors, consider taking a moment to send a letter to Patch. Chances are, you're not the only who feels that way.
For all advertising queries, please e-mail our Sammamish-Issaquah ad manager, Sean Sammis, at email@example.com

John Legend - Green Light ft. Andre 3000
Artist: John Legend
Featuring: Andre 3000
Producer: Malay & KP [for Ghett-O-Vision Ent.]
Album: Evolver
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 139 total votes )
It's out with the old John and in with the new! Gearing up to release his third studio album, Evolver, this September, GOOD Music/Columbia recording artist John Legend has put his live instrumentation tracks on the back burner and will instead focus on production with up-tempo drums loops and new-age synthesizers from the likes of Kanye West and The Neptunes. Joining Legend on the funky acid jazz-like Green Light, a potential first single off the upcoming project, is Outkast's Andre 3000. Together, the pairing is an absolute musical match; so harmonious, in fact, that it should have plenty of fans clamoring for an entire collaborative project. DJBooth will provide more details on Legend's new project as they emerge in the coming months.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
styledotcom All of your #NYFW questions, answered: stylem.ag/1vQNFNo pic.twitter.com/Yane65B6P0
Memo to fashion-show organizers: Is it time to add Amber Heard to your front-row invite lists? The young actress is enjoying a new boost in popularity, thanks to her relationship with Johnny Depp, but the surprise is not the May-December romance (he's 50, she's 27), but how well she's been holding her own against Mr. Depp's famous stylishness. That redoubtable organ The Daily Mail dedicated a page today to her dog-walking style, and we're inclined to agree that she looks great in an oversize coat (expressively tied à la Celine Fall '13), skinny jeans, and booties. The last two may be young-actress standard-issue, but Heard manages to elevate them to a gamine place that Lou Doillon or Charlotte Gainsbourg would recognize. See you in February, then?
