Politico Editor Suggests Roberts is Gay
Why did ABC News' Robin Roberts score the big interview with President Obama about gay marriage? Lots of folks, from the NYT's Brian Stelter to Politico's Dylan Byers, have weighed in with their analysis.
But Politico Deputy Breaking News Editor Ryan Kearney went there, suggesting that Roberts is, in fact, gay herself.
"The question no one's asking: Will Robin Roberts clarify her stance on gay marriage?" tweeted Kearney.
It's one thing to speculate privately that Roberts is gay — as Gawker reports through anonymous sourcing at the network, it's long been assumed by many — but to do so publicly both exhibits a.) a bit of chutzpah b.) a bit of inappropriateness and c.) begs perhaps the most important question: Are Kearney's bosses at Politico okay with an editor throwing out such sensational charges with no sourcing whatsoever?

Gov. Jerry Brown faced protests at the state Democratic Party convention Saturday from crowds of progressives opposed to fracking, even as he attempted to make the case that California has led the country on climate change and renewable energy issues.
"The challenge facing California is not just drought today; it's climate change, now and forever," said Brown, as dozens of party activists holding "Another Democrat Against Fracking" signs rushed to the front of the hall and stood in their seats at the Los Angeles Convention Center, yelling their opposition to the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to expand natural gas production.
Rex Tillerson is mad. In fact, Fracking Mad.
This 61-year old farmer from Bartonville, Texas is another victim of Big Oil's fracking boom that has invaded people's homes and lives from upstate New York to Southern California.
As Illinois finds itself once again in the throes of a short-term coal rush with devastating health and environmental consequences, it's time to finally turn the page on the past and transition to a future with more sustainable economic development.
As the national media puts the spotlight on the "FrackGate" public relations scandal in Ohio, where state officials worked to "marginalize opponents of fracking by teaming up with corporations--including Halliburton--business groups and media outlets," Illinois residents behind a groundbreaking ballot initiative to ban fracking in rural Johnson County are facing a similar campaign of misinformation and local news blackout.
The recently established Green Army has been raising a lot of eyebrows (and anxiety) in the ranks of the oil and gas industry. "We are under attack from these people, and we have to push back," explained Louisiana Oil and Gas Association (LOGA) President Don Briggs at the recent State of the Industry Luncheon held in Lafayette, La.
Protesters march against LNG export terminal and 'planet-wrecking vision of new fracking wells, pipelines, and compressors'.A natural gas export terminal being proposed near a small coastal town in Maryland would increase toxic gas fracking operations around the region, hurt the environment, speed up climate change, and do little for "energy independence" in the United States, campaigners warned at the "the largest environmental protest in Baltimore history" on Thursday.
In a victory for opponents of the Keystone XL, a local judge on Wednesday struck down a law that would allow the tar sands pipeline to pass through Nebraska, the Associated Press is reporting.
Outnumbering Peabody Energy supporters more than four to one among those willing to make public comments, outraged residents, farmers and former miners expertly broke down the inconsistencies and errors in the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's tentative determination to issue a water quality permit at a packed strip mine hearing on Tuesday in the heart of Illinois' coal country.
When besieged residents, already choked by toxic coal dust, face off with Peabody Energy officials on Feb. 18, in Harrisburg, at an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) hearing for a five-year strip mine expansion permit, more than 1,019 paltry acres will be at stake.

This combination loves fuel, and every time we increased main jet sizes the car went quicker and faster in the quarter-mile.

Looking for a way to take your favorite recipes to the next level? Here are three easy ingredient swaps that can do your body a whole lot of good with just a small bit of effort.
1. Swap out soy sauce for liquid aminos.
Why: Liquid aminos contain 16 of the 20 amino acids, which help serve as the building blocks of muscles. It tastes like a subtler soy sauce, and a half-teaspoon serving contains 160 milligrams of sodium, compared with 533 milligrams in a low-sodium soy sauce. Bragg brand liquid aminos are available at most grocery stores.
2. Swap out pine nuts for hemp seeds in homemade pesto.
Why: Hemp seeds are cheaper than pine nuts, and they're packed with protein, fiber, magnesium and essential fatty acids. Plus, the nutty flavor is similar to that of pine nuts.
3. Swap out regular vinegar for apple cider vinegar.
Why: Unfiltered apple cider vinegar is made with fermented apples, and the pectin in the apples aids in digestion. Try adding some to tea with honey, lemon and cayenne to give your immune system a boost. It's also a tasty addition to baked porkchops.

Did Hackers Hit Detroit-Area Bank of America Branch?
The online banking information of thousands of Bank of America customers could be in jeopardy after a Detroit-area woman discovered more than $100,000 in fraudulent charges on her account last Friday (March 25).
After Christy Clark's debit card was denied at a Royal Oak, Mich., drugstore, she went to report the problem to her local Bank of America branch. To Clark's surprise, the bank lobby was flooded with customers who'd all experienced the same problem, Click On Detroit reported.
As part of the bank's standard practice when it thinks a customer's account may have been compromised by a third-party, bank employees blocked the affected debit cards and issued new cards to customers whose accounts had been tampered with. The company, however, denies a hacker hit it.
There was no security breach at Bank of America, company spokeswoman Betty Riess told SecurityNewsDaily. Riess said a "third-party merchant" was responsible for the fraudulent charges.
Riess told SecurityNewsDaily this was an isolated incident and does not affect Bank of America customers outside the Detroit area.
If the bank was not hacked, it's possible Ms. Clark and others were victims of ATM skimmers, devious devices planted atop or often within ATMs that steal users' PIN codes and card information.

MERRILLVILLE | A longtime animal rights activist is working to help prevent pets from falling victim to smoke inhalation in fires.
Merrillville resident Elaine Chenore is hoping to distribute self-contained oxygen recovery kits for pets to fire departments throughout the area and even throughout the state.
"I intend to keep this going as far as I can. I want the whole state covered," Chenore said.
She said the oxygen recovery kits, which come in small, medium and large, can be used on cats, dogs and even birds.
The kits include animal oxygen mask sets that enable rescue squads to efficiently administer oxygen to a stricken animal, Chenore said.
"They can be used on any pet that is living with the family," Chenore said.
Chenore, 82, said she's been working as an animal rights activist for close to 62 years.
Chenore said the kits cost about $85 each.
She's been receiving financial assistance from a number of area businesses, but would like to see additional involvement perhaps in fundraising efforts from schools or student organizations.
She has distributed the kits to fire stations in Merrillville, Lake Station, Hobart, Crown Point, Porter, Lowell, Cedar Lake, Schererville and St. John.
She is in the process of also delivering the kits to officials in Munster and Gary.
She said she sent one of the kits to a small town in Wisconsin, where her father served as a volunteer firefighter.
"I'm doing it in my dad's memory," Chenore said.
Chenore said she's been in both a barn fire and house fire and knows how awful it can be.
"I'm asked why I'm doing this, and my answer is because it's needed," Chenore said.
For more information, contact Chenore at (219) 980-0661 or 742-1384.

Myelinated nerves. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through myelinated nerve fibres and Schwann cells. Myelin (dark brown) is an insulating fatty layer that surrounds the nerve fibre (axon, black), increasing the speed at which nerve impulses travel. It is formed when Schwann cells (light brown) wrap around the fibre, depositing layers of myelin between each coil. The outermost layer consists of the Schwann cell's cytoplasm and is known as the neurolemma or sheath of Schwann.

18 owner reviews for SUZUKI ALTO Hatchback 2009 on
exeptional car
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ2 5dr (Review date: 17th August '14)
No road tax to pay. The cheapest car to run I have ever owned very many mpg. Very quick good top speed and handles very well. It has four doors electric windows and a good radio cd player. It is very comfortable with plenty of room. I have always had company cars. This is the best car I have owned privatly and it cost just over six thousand pounds new.
Nippy Alto
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ2 5dr (Review date: 12th July '14)
so far so good!
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ2 5dr (Review date: 29th April '14)
I am finding it hard to drive this car because it is very small, but I love the fact that it doesn't pay any tax, no MOT, very economical on petrol, easy to park and go through narrow spaces, perfect for my job at the rush hour and for going shopping or to the gym, a real compact city car and no worries about expenses for the next few years. Very modern and cute and even when I prefer bigger cars, this is lovely and cute.
Cheap to run good car.
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ3 5dr (Review date: 6th August '13)
This is our third Alto, each one was a different generation.
Good points
This new alto is very cheap to run. £0 road tax. I get 48 MPG with lots of very short journeys(many less than 1 mile) around town. On a 100 mile motorway run at speed limit I can get 66MPG which I think is quite good.
The new model is better at higher speeds than the previous version as that rolled a lot more. At high speeds and country roads the car is more composed.
Bad points, the driving position isnt that comfortable, the steering wheel is too far tilted away for me and the A pillar creates a blind spot. The boot is very small and only good for shopping but the rear seats do fold down but they are not split fold unless you get the top of the range version.
The ride is quite bouncy and uncomfortable at times.
Looks too cute at the front and not really stylish, although I like the rear of the car. The styling and image isnt up to the other small cars standards.
If you want a reliable and cheap to run car this is the one for you.
I am very happy with this car as this is my fuel economy car and is very cheap to run and good to drive. My other car is a 2.3 Turbo so the savings I make running the Alto gives me more money to rag my weekend car.
My little Alto
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ2 5dr (Review date: 8th July '13)
well Ive had it for a week now and Im loving it. I changed over from a swift and was a bit dubious about getting the Alto having read the reviews, but its brill.
Yes ok, after I have got all my bits in the boot like the jump power pack, first aid kit, tyre inflator, water bottle and spare oil there isn't much room for any shopping. But the five doors allows full access to the rear seats for the bags. the drivers seat is great and gives you a lovely clear view all around. other reviewers are right you do have to stretch the gears sometimes to get the best out of them, but you get used to this.
Parking in the tightest of spots if as easy as pie, esp when you get used to the mirrors. it is a bit weird that the interior one wobbles as much as it does.
Would I change back to a Swift...... not on your nellie. On one tank of petrol I have managed to do over 250 miles but I will have to do a few more to be able to compare it properly with my swift.
Don't want too much out of the Alto, and it will repay you. Its a small car that will work hard for you.

SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ3 5dr (Review date: 16th November '11)
Before I purchased the Alto I had to test drive every small car on the market. It turns out that it drives amazingly well in comparison. Easy to handle, park and manoeuvre in small spaces.
I find the Alto to be the most economical to run, cheep to insure, cheep on road tax, reliable, quite spacious for it size /at least it will fit four girls and few shopping bags/ and with 4 doors /great when you park anywhere/.
Under the bonnet the car is not overcomplicated like others, there is a lot of room, and the main components are easy to reach witch make it easier to work on.
The only downside I can find is the fact that my model had no door speakers which is now rectified.
Still it is the best value for money small car on the market.
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ3 5dr (Review date: 1st November '11)
great little car suits my life style down to a tee
great little mover it can really go no complaints about this
little car it can move when asked this car i would reccomend to any one body is cutely desighned mine is in red and it really a nice little car it is the best car in its class at the price final thought
The Suzuki Alto - A 2 year review
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ3 5dr (Review date: 31st October '11)
So, I should start by telling you that I'm a 19 year old medical student in London. This was my first car, so I lack a point of reference, however, I'd love to give you a glimpse of how the Alto is to live with.
I drive almost everyday, for usually small trips such as driving in to uni, however, I visit my home away from uni most weekends, which is 100+ miles away. Thus, the alto has served me well both n these short and long journeys. Granted, the alto's acceleration leaves alot to be desired, it's actually surprisingly nippy when you give it some juice.... That said, it really doesn't like hills...
Road tax is as good as non-existent and it's about £40 to fill up the tank from scratch. The alto is relatively comfy, aside from the slightly cheap material used to cover the seats, but the ride can be somewhat clunky at times, particularly over speed bumps even at low speeds. It's also great to park even in confined spaces, and has a fantastic turning ark. The sound system isn't actually fantastic, but that's definitely not what your paying for with the alto. I have in fact since upgraded the speakers.
For me; the car is perfect and would definitely suit some one as their first car (if expensive to replace parts) and is a lovely drive around cities. It's also completely practical for motorway driving too.
Agile small city car, although is 4 seated, but best for only 2 adults
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ4 5dr (Review date: 31st October '11)
Brought this car in June 2009. Have a few long journeys with it, including Lake District, Yorkshire Dale, Isle of Skpe, Loch Ness, John O' Groats, etc. Most of those journeys are in highland district, which involved pretty of uphill, downhill and narrow country roads. The car shown it agility and we have a lot of fun. It only struggles while driving uphill above 40 degree and have to stick to 1st gear to do so.
This is a great daily used city car, u-turn and parking are easily done due to it's small turning circle and great handling power. The EPS really kick in while driving in Winter icy road. The fuel consumptions is greatly improved after 8000 miles of driving.
However, due to it only have a 996cc engine, it is best suit only for occupy by 2 adults, 4 will be struggle a lot while doing uphill. The gear box is it weak point, it sluggish in gear changing occasionally.
Suzuki Alto, the good and bad points
SUZUKI ALTO 1.0 SZ4 5dr Auto (Review date: 30th October '11)
I am a town driver and the Suzuki Alto is great. It has a good zip in traffic and is small for parking in London, which is a big plus. I was a bit worried about two recalls to have adjustments based on factors Suzuki worried about, but my car has not been a technical problem.
The main minus is the sightlines There are some blind spots, front on the driver side and back on the passenger. This makes one especially careful in judging cars on the inside lane, so using your mirror is a must. Also I am more wary on zebra crossings in case I miss someone walking out on the driver side at night.
Passengers have complained about a lack of handgrip above the door and I notice the lack of proper glove compartment, the the current arrangement is useful for maps and books.
The minuses make me a more careful driver, which cant be bad, and even so I enjoy driving the car. I do under 1,000 miles a year so cant comment on its long journey issues, but I am sure they may be discomfort; but for town driving it is good news.

My heart is aching and I don't know why. I never needed love but now I've never felt so alone. I'll put it in the back of my mind, but its you that brings it right back. Bittersweet the thought of love and how I'm capable again, but how i won't receive it in return.
From the moment I saw you, I knew I couldn't keep you. I have never wanted to crawl into a person and grow as much as I do with you. I won't allow it again. I'm reaching for the stars again, I'll never learn. So you'll remain a dream. A fog, a reminder that I have to be better. I'll deserve the stars one day.
I think I found something and it runs from me...or I push it away. I long for love. Not like I ever have. I never wanted to look for love, but I find myself wanting it more and more. It's not good for me...It's my heroine. I shouldn't do it, but I love the way it feels. I went on a date. He didn't try to sleep with me. He was a gentleman..it was refreshing. I want to keep him, but I can't..I'm not good enough.

What is the PRICE of Emergencies on Cultural Heritage?
Today is "MayDay -- Do One Thing for Emergency Preparedness" sponsored by Heritage Preservation which encourages libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, and preservation organizations to set aside May 1 to "do one thing for emergency preparedness." As in past years, we are devoting a blog post to news and thoughts about emergency preparedness.
Recently, colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution have discussed the roles that we play in preventing, preparing, and responding to emergencies. Even with a robust disaster management program at SI, we discovered that we needed to do a better job of planning for emergencies that affect collections. We know that the offices charged with life safety at the Smithsonian will do a great job managing the people and many visitors at the Institution in an emergency, but what about the collections? Our team came up with a concept that we are bringing to the administration of the Smithsonian, called "PRICE" – Preparedness and Response in Collections Emergencies.
Each of the museums at the Smithsonian functions with its own set of plans for emergencies, but we recognized that at a big place like the Smithsonian there might be scenarios that require the help of the Institution at large. What if a museum needs help from a team of external conservation experts because it is overwhelmed with recovery? What if having a collections emergency recovery contract in place ahead of time, for instance, from a dry-freezing company, would spare a collecting unit from spending the valuable post-recovery time having to write and execute a contract? What if one unit has equipment and supplies needed by another unit? The PRICE concept would provide staffing, training, logistics and administrative support that pertain especially to collections before, during, and after a disaster.
At the Smithsonian we follow the Incident Command System (also known as ICS) for emergencies, and the PRICE concept would fit right into the structure as one of the reporting nodes to the incident commander. If you are not familiar with ICS, today would be a good day for you to look at an important publication on the topic: Implementing the Incident Command System at the Institutional Level: A Handbook for Libraries, Archives, Museums, and Other Cultural Institutions by David Carmichael.
We think that the model that we are proposing will help the Institution take care of its 137 million collection items. Stewardship of our collections must include ongoing review of collections emergency plans and put the emergency preparation, response and recovery experts in touch with one another.

But all I've got is a photograph . . . or an autograph?
As people versed in Integrated Pest Management, we're used to urgent emails that start, "can anyone identify this beetle invading my collection?" Recently, I received an inquiry regarding a very different species of invader. In February, everyone was talkin' 'bout the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' Invasion, or their arrival on the American shores to play the Ed Sullivan show (complete with its own hashtag #Beatles50). Beatlemania was alive again, especially in D.C., where the Fab Four had performed their first concert in the United States at the Washington Coliseum. Over at the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington, "on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the concert . . . archivists discovered a personal note on the back of a photo . . . written to [Harry Lynn, the owner of the Coliseum] and signed by the band." The only trouble was the archivists couldn't read it because the photograph was mounted to thick board – they could only see the impression of a couple of words, as you can see when Zachary Levine turns it in his hands as he shows it to the reporter in this news video (at about 1:23). So they contacted us to see if we could be of assistance, and sure enough I thought this would be a great way to test the limits of some techniques over at the Museum Conservation Institute's Imaging Studio.
I asked my colleague E. Keats Webb, if Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), a technique that enhances dimension of surface features in low profile, could be used to augment the profile of signatures. Essentially, RTI uses multiple images of the same object photographed with raking light from multiple angles, and then with software, layers and interpolates them to create a moving image that can be adjusted to enhance the visible dimensionality.
As Keats moves the green virtual mouse ball to change the direction of the raking light, and changes surface interpolation filters, you can watch the writing below the boys' heads emerge. You can observe that the largest, but also deepest, signature is John Lennon's. His signature literally makes a strong impression – in a detail at high resolution in the Flickr set, you can see that the pressure he exerted created almost arrow-like cracks in the baryta layer below the silver. From this we can surmise that either he had a naturally heavy hand, or possibly he signed his name over a softer surface than all the others – allowing the pen to sink deeper.
Showing opposite characteristics, you can see relatively how much less deep George Harrison's autograph lies; he either wrote with a light hand, or on a hard surface. Another interesting feature is seen in in Paul McCartney's autograph. Can you guess what it is? Not being the biggest Beatles fan in the room, as the image became clearer to my eyes, I gasped and asked aloud, "Is Paul McCartney left-handed?" This is apparently a well-known fact to all those who are saturated with images of Sir Paul holding his bass guitar in the opposite direction to his bandmates. I guessed at it by observing the slant, direction and loops in which the 'P' and 'a' and other letters were started and continued across his name, and confirmed my speculation with a swift Wikipedia search. This observation is of an individual characteristic of Mr. McCartney's handwriting. Lastly, from the matching directional slant, and the center placement of Ringo Starr's autograph, the evidence suggests that Ringo wrote the full dedication: "To Harry Lynn | with fond memories from the | BEATLES", signed it himself and handed the photograph off for others' signatures, seen below.
We also used hyperspectral imaging but the silver and the baryta layer blocked the non-visible wavelengths of light from passing through the photographic print to the ink. However, ultraviolet induced fluorescence photography did reveal a history of adhesives. Also in the Flickr set, you'll see both the residues of a typical address label on the front at lower left corner, and on the back, traces of the damaging so-called "magnetic" adhesive that is common to some photo albums. In fact, the item had been stored in "the sticky embrace" of one, as colorfully described in this lovely article about the provenance of the photograph.
This was a really fun project, but also one which raised serious philosophical questions. Some may ask, but why didn't you just take the backing off to see the autographs? Well, excavation and solvents carry risk for both the object and the conservator. In modern archaeology, sites may be investigated with remote sensing equipment, uncovered, documented, and recovered to protect the integrity of the site. Do we really need to dig for what is definitely there when we have non-destructive ways of seeing? Seriousness aside, can anyone tell me what is going on in this image with the bow and the stuffed cow?

Mystery Diagnosis and the Case of the Unidentified Bird Shadows
In the late 1800s, Smithsonian ornithologist Robert Ridgway sat at his desk, surrounded by watercolors, papers, pens, crayons, and dead birds, carefully preparing the illustrations that would make it into the seminal multivolume History of North American Birds: Land Birds and its companion The Water Birds of North America: Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College
Ridgway spent countless hours bent over his drawings, agonizing over how to most realistically portray the birds. It was no easy feat trying to illustrate a waterfowl in the plushest, deepest shade of blue so that it exactly resembled the specimen on his desk or perfectly capture the subtle hue of a crow's glossy black sheen. But Ridgway succeeded! And over a century later, his bird drawings are still life like, with colors so bright, feathers glistening and eyes shining, that it is hard not to be mesmerized by their brilliance. In fact, he was so meticulous with his colors and color theory that he spent years experimenting with pigments to create a color dictionary, testing for colors that would not fade over time. Which is why it was so very peculiar to stumble upon a few strange Ridgway illustrations with almost haunting, mysterious shadows obscuring the painstakingly colored birds…
You see, recently, I had the privilege of conserving a set of these beautiful and richly drawn bird illustrations in preparation for a rapid capture digitization project. This meant carefully mending tears and flattening folded corners so that the illustrations could be safely handled and photographed. But about half way through the treatments, I came across something unusual: a mysterious shadow covering some of the birds. Whatever, I wondered, could have happened to these particular illustrations? And stranger still, while some shadows were composed of sharp and defined lines, other shadows were more relaxed and loose, creating soft, abstract shapes over top of the birds.
Thinking it might be discoloration from mercury, we set about testing the darkened shadowy areas with X-ray diffraction technology at the Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute (MCI) "open lab day", but alas, this revealed nothing. Aside from slightly elevated levels of Ca (calcium) and Fe (iron) on the image, there appeared to be no discernible elemental difference between the background and the dark area of interest. Confusing us further, the darkened areas did not come off with mechanical cleaning, nor have they rubbed off on the papers lying over top of them for decades.
Perhaps you can help us figure out what happened to them. To assist you, here are a few background details and a slideshow of some of the shadowy illustrations. Ridgway's illustrations were often re-engraved, electroplated, and hand colored, as detailed in Daniel Lewis's wonderful biography of Ridgway The Feathery Tribe: Robert Ridgway and the Modern Study of Birds. While Ridgway drew birds on various types and sizes of paper, the "shadows" only appear on birds illustrated on lined notecards, some of which have the shadows only on the back. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Ridgway was also experimenting with color fastness and dye stability, testing the fading of hundreds of different types of pigments in order to standardize the color nomenclature of birds and produce a color dictionary. Do these markings have anything to do with his experimenting with color stability?
Or perhaps it occurred during the printing process? Ridgway's son was an amateur photographer and often assisted his father. Did he experiment on these illustrations? Maybe these particular illustrations were discarded copies that Ridgway used as scrap paper . . . but what are the shadows? Any ideas are welcome!

BOSTON — Justin Florek and Reilly Smith scored in a three-minute span in the first period and the Boston Bruins evened their playoff series with a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings in the Game 2 on Sunday.
Showing more spark after not taking enough challenging shots on goal in their 1-0 loss Friday night, the Bruins had 18 shots in the first period after managing just 25 in the entire opener.
Luke Glendening cut Boston's lead to 2-1 at 13:20 of the second period before Milan Lucic scored late in the second and Zdeno Chara added a power-play goal early in the third.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven series between the top-seeded Bruins, who won the Presidents' Cup with an NHL-high 117 points, and eighth-seeded Red Wings is set for Detroit on Tuesday night.

Home protection: All deserve to know the law
Bedford officials made the right call when they decided to hold a community meeting to discuss the reported home invasion of Nov. 24 that left Dr. Eduardo Quesada severely injured. The two-week delay in providing useful information to the public had a lot of people on edge. Unfortunately, new Police Chief John Bryfonski erred in refusing to answer a resident's question about homeowner self-defense rights.
People want to know how forceful the law says they can be when facing an assailant at home. Bryfonski should have had a ready answer for that predictable quesiton. Better yet, he could have had copies of the law to give to residents. Since he did not, we shall. The law regarding the use of deadly force in self-defense is RSA 627:4:II. It states:
"A person is justified in using deadly force upon another person when he reasonably believes that such other person:
(a) Is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor or a third person;
(b) Is likely to use any unlawful force against a person present while committing or attempting to commit a burglary;
(c) Is committing or about to commit kidnapping or a forcible sex offense; or
(d) Is likely to use any unlawful force in the commission of a felony against the actor within such actor's dwelling or its curtilage."
The law also states that merely displaying a firearm in response to "a threat which would be considered by a reasonable person as likely to cause serious bodily injury or death to the person or to another" is not a criminal act. Now you know.

Anobit breaks MLC flash barrier
Israeli startup Anobit reckons it has the technology in its Genesis enterprise SSDs to make flash storage practicable for all tier one data. Flash solid state drives (SSD) are being used for the storage of the most active tier one data in storage arrays as they provide the IOPS needed without the expense of having a large number …
What's the point?
"It provides a pricing example in which SLC flash costs $6.75 per GB and has an endurance of 50,000 program/erase (P/E) cycles, whereas MLC costs $1.58/GB but has only 3,000 P/E cycles. Anobit says MLC flash with MSP costs the same as the SLC flash and delivers 50,000 P/E cycles too."
So, this new flash is as fast as SLC, has the same endurance as SLC, and costs the same as SLC. Why not just buy SLC?
Typo alert
Our mistake; the text should have read, and now does, MLC and not SLC. Duh. Holds head in shame.
Ah, I see you fixed the article - it now says they cost the same as the MLC items with speed and endurance of SLC. I see the point now
Why not buy SLC?
Cos the Israeli's can probably monitor all the data everyone ever puts in THEIR stuff somehow ;o)
Anobit clarifies MSP and Genesus relationship
An Anobit spokesperson clarified the relationship between Genesus and the MSP technology, saying: "Regarding the SD, microSD, and USB flash drives, these products have first generation Anobit *MSP* baked into them, not Genesis SSD technology (the distinction being that MSP is the secret sauce within Genesis, but Anobit also offers MSP on its own). The 'second generation product' you reference here is also the underlying MSP, and the not the Genesis SSD itself."
The articlehas been amended to make this clear.
Missing the point -- over and over and....
The nonsense persists.
The relevant "performance" problem with MLC has nothing to do with endurance -- which is easily and cheaply fixed via widely known wear leveling and over-provisioning techniques, This without any need for some single-source mystery "algorithms".
No...the performance problem with MLC is write latency (or to be strictly accurate, erase-reprogram speed).
MLC is not only much slower than SLC, but it gets slower and slower as MLC densities increase.
The NAND Flash issue going forward is write performance -- period. Anobit does absolutely nothing about this, at least nothing they can articulate or quantify.
Anobit looks like another startup with no storage industry background whatsoever soaking VC cash ($40 million so far) from the NAND flash SSD hype-cycle.

VALPARAISO | The stage of the Chicago Street Theater provided a different sort of drama Tuesday with a cast of two, the man running for mayor of Valparaiso.
Mayor Jon Costas and challenger Bob McCasland told the near full house they agreed on the importance of keeping neighborhood schools, that they preferred the appointed school board but would support a change to an elected board if residents wanted it, and that the city's worst problem is drugs.
They found plenty of things to disagree about in between. McCasland stressed his goal to be a full-time mayor with no outside business interests and his plans to reduce redundancy and the use of outside consultants in favor of local businesses. By eliminating some positions, he would have more money to spend fighting the drug problems, he said.
Costas cited his record of accomplishments over the past eight years and doing it with the aid of $57 million in state and federal funding. He said he spends the vast majority of his time being mayor, but said the success the city has had is due in large part to the talents of his administrative team.
The biggest disagreement came on whether they would serve the full term or, if asked, seek higher office as Costas did in a run for state attorney general a couple of years ago. McCasland left no doubt, saying he would not leave under any condition. Costas said he could not answer a hypothetical question but said he is running with the intent of serving as mayor.
McCasland said he would strengthen the older neighborhoods by using $250,000 from the city's share of the county economic development income tax to allocate $50,000 for each council district to be spent in the district as each councilman saw fit. Both men supported Porter County's involvement in the Regional Development Authority, but McCasland said he was unhappy with the county's representative on the board and the number of representatives the county has.
McCasland said the ChicaGo Dash express commuter bus service has the potential to be self-supporting enough to continue but questioned the V-Line's viability saying fares might have to be raised or changes made in the operation. Costas said the V-Line is supported with CEDIT funds and Valparaiso University subsidies and is depended on by many poorer residents. He added all transportation is subsidized.
The debate was sponsored by the Greater Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce, which will host a debate for all the council candidates at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Memorial Opera House.

GM opens new plant for Chinese budget brand Baojun
Monday - 11/19/2012, 12:34am EST
By KELVIN CHAN
AP Business Writer
HONG KONG (AP) - General Motors Co. and its local Chinese partners have launched a second plant to make cars for its local discount brand Baojun, ratcheting up the battle for customers at the fast-growing lower end of the world's biggest auto market.
The SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture opened the factory on Sunday in southwestern Guangxi province. GM and its partners have invested 8 billion yuan ($1.3 billion) in the facility, which will be capable of turning out up to 400,000 vehicles a year.
The joint venture is also building a powertrain factory at the plant that will be able to produce up to 400,000 engines annually. It's scheduled to open in September 2013.
The first car to roll off the plant's production line was a Baojun 630 midsize sedan, one of two cars sold under the only-in-China badge. The 630 sells for about 63,000 yuan ($10,100) while the Le Chi mini car goes for about 40,000 yuan ($6,400).
China surpassed the United States as the world's biggest auto market by vehicles sold in 2009 but slowing sales growth has prompted global automakers to look for new ways to tap the faster-growing low end of the Chinese market in smaller cities and the countryside.
In September, Nissan unveiled the second model from its new low-priced Chinese brand Venucia, a compact hatchback that will sell for as little as 67,800 yuan ($10,760). Honda has also launched a budget brand, Li Nian.
The SAIC-GM-Wuling is focused on making mini-trucks and microvans.

Preview: 4 pages from forthcoming Steve Jobs graphic novel
Forbes has published four pages from the upcoming Zen of Steve Jobs graphic novel. The 60-page book is brought to you by Forbes and the people at JESS3, who specialize in data visualization. The Zen of Steve Jobs is a re-imagining of Steve Jobs' life during the mid-1980s after he left Apple and before he founded NeXT.
During that time Jobs befriended Kobun Chino Otogawa, a Zen Buddhist priest. The two shared a passion about art, design and innovation. The graphic novel imagines how their friendship influenced Steve Jobs' later decisions when he returned to Apple.
Yeah, it's a little weird that Forbes is publishing fictional Steve Jobs comic books, but I'm sure it'll be a best-seller. The graphic novel will have its digital release in late fall. In the mean time you can check out four preview pages by clicking the link above and another page here.

The King's Speech
Laurie Sparham/ The Weinstein Company
Britain's King George VI never aspired to be king, but in 1937 when his older brother gave up the throne to marry his American lover, he had to step up. The new monarch suffered from a debilitating stutter, a condition that he and many others thought would preclude him from becoming an effective leader. In a new movie, "The King's Speech" we learn the story of the remarkable friendship that developed between King George VI and the speech therapist who helped the king conquer his stammer and deliver speeches - speeches that buoyed the spirits of his countrymen before and during World War II. The speech therapist's grandson and two speech experts join me to talk about stuttering and how it can be treated. Please join us.

I fail to understand why the administration worked so hard to hype President Obama's West Point speech. He didn't really announce any new plans or programs. Instead it was merely sold as Obama "explaining" his foreign policy doctrine. That of course shouldn't be something that needs to be explained. If you have been implementing a [...]

Immigration Reform Is the Last Chance for Obama to Prove His Legislative Strategy
|By: Jon Walker Friday May 23, 2014 9:19 am
Immigration reform is probably the last chance for President Obama to prove his legislative strategy for advancing his agenda wasn't a mistake. After President Obama was elected he faced a serious choice about how to implement his policies. He could either take a steamroller approach or focus on bipartisan outreach. With huge Democratic majorities in [...]
Obama's Job Approval Continues to Slide
|By: Jon Walker Tuesday November 26, 2013 6:50 am
There is more bad news for President Obama in the recent Gallup polling. His job approval rating has been trending down for months and is now tied with his previous lowest rating ever. From Gallup: Being unable to successfully implement your own signature achievement will really undermine people's opinions about your job performance. Obama needs [...]
Another Day, Another Terrible Poll for Obama
|By: Jon Walker Wednesday November 20, 2013 7:39 am
Only 37 percent of Americans now approve of how Obama is handling his job, according to the CBS News poll, while 57 percent disapprove. This is a huge 9 point drop since last month when 46 percent approved of Obama's job performance. What should concern Democrats is that there has been a huge loss of confidence among Independents. His job approval rating with this group is only 29 percent.
Obama's Schizophrenic Position on Being the World's Policeman

Obama Is Still Lying About the NSA

Tax Repatriation to Pay for One Time Investment in Infrastructure
|By: Jon Walker Tuesday July 30, 2013 12:02 pm
In the simplest terms possible, it appears that President Obama's new proposed "grand bargain for middle-class workers" is to use a corporate tax repatriation to pay for a one time boost in infrastructure spending. As best as I can glean from the limited details in his speech and fact sheet, this is the true heart [...]
Less a Pivot and More a Campaign-Style Reminder

Today President Obama delivered the speech which is supposed to begin yet another one of his "pivots" to the economy, but it came across more as a campaign-style reminder. Much of the speech was focused on Obama patting himself on the back for what he has already done for the economy, like passing student loan [...]

Courtesy of the Post, it looks like the Knicks have their sights set on a point guard, Hofstra's Charles Jenkins.
"Where I go depends on how I work out, how I impress scouts in the workouts," Jenkins said. "It all depends on me. Projections by 'experts' are one thing. It all depends on how good I play."
The Knicks have Chauncey Billups, 35 years old and coming off a knee strain that knocked him out for most of the first-round playoff sweep against the Celtics. His backup is Toney Douglas, who the Knicks have deduced does not have the decision-making skills to be their playmaker of the future.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Jenkins, 22, may just have them. The Knicks also are looking at Boston College's Reggie Jackson and Georgia Tech's Iman Shumpert if they go the point guard route in the first round.
"He's a throwback point guard with a really good feel for the game," one NBA executive said. "He plays with a quiet confidence. He's more polished than Jackson. He's more savvy, more ready. Reggie is more of a scorer, maybe more upside, but Jenkins has more consistency and he's got a strong upper body on him."
According to DraftExpress he was the nation's second most efficient scorer coming from isolation situations (Jimmer Fredette was 19th). Here's his scouting report:
Jenkins has a firm understanding of his game and what will be asked of him at the pro level.
"One thing that separates me from a lot of other guys is I don't force things," he says. "I know I'm not going to get there and finish over a guy like Dwight Howard, but I have a pull up jump shot that I can rely on and I'm a great passer which a lot of people don't really know. People see my scoring numbers and that's really all they see, but I'm smart enough to know the ways I'm going to score there."
That really is one of the great allures of Charles Jenkins: He's smart enough. Smart enough to realize he isn't going to receive the same notoriety as many of his peers, but smart enough to let it serve as a motivator. Smart enough to know he won't enter NBA Draft talks with the kind of hype befitting his scoring average, but smart enough to know his game will do the talking when it comes time. In the end maybe it is best that talk of Jenkins has been confined to YouTube clips and internet chat rooms. After all, he is college basketball's best kept secret.
Taking a point guard here isn't as crazy as it sounds. The Knicks chance at grabbing either Chris Paul or Deron Williams in free agency next summer is nearing extinction, and they're thin at the position. A very important one at that. In a draft that's been deemed especially disappointing, Jenkins could be a pleasant surprise. He's a proficient scorer, something point guards need to be today, yet reading about him there's no selfishness. He's a proponent of correct, team oriented basketball, and would be complimentary to Amar'e and Carmelo once Chauncey left town. While I'd still prefer the team take a rebounding big man, if none are available in this draft there's no sense in reaching for another Jordan Hill. Still, it's interesting to see the possible direction the Knicks are heading by taking a point guard who seems mature enough to lead an NBA team (Jenkins enters the draft as a senior). This might be reading into it too heavily, but taking Hofstra's all-time leading scorer would make moving Chauncey at the trade deadline a much smoother move for the Knicks. In such a case, I'm convinced that contract gets moved for a big man, but that's me getting ahead of myself. Jenkins could be the George Hill of this draft: A solid, athletic scorer capable of playing the NBA game after coming from a small school—no surprise he's already worked out for the Spurs. Who wouldn't want to copy them.

The Obama administration and the NEA continue using taxpayer money to push their outrageous agenda.
If the liberal media, Hollywood, and pro-abortion Democrats are truly concerned about protecting women, why is there no outcry?
There is nothing wrong with taking care of our bodies while we work toward making disciples of Jesus Christ, but let's look at this approach strictly from a Christian perspective.
The Grammys seem to be following the lead of other entertainment industry awards shows that push the envelope of decency in a desperate attempt draw ratings.
How would the media have reported on Benghazi if we had a Republican president such as Chris Christie? I think we know the answer.
Much has been written regarding the fallout between A&E and Duck Dynasty's Robertson family and this debate is much too important to dismiss after only a week or two of dialogue. The primary reason these public squabbles rarely get resolved is there is now a clear cultural divide in America, and both sides cannot coexist peacefully any longer. There is too much at stake.
It happens every year around this time. Some refer to it as the "War on Christmas," but that's not completely accurate.

I sure hope they do a digital crop anti-shake in this cam. Given the sensor it seems they should be able to and maintain full res. Between that and an IS lens maybe it can perform anti-shake on par with a CX550 (which uses both) which is to say truly amazing.

Watch the part of ABC's undocu-drama "The Path to 9/11" in which Sandy Berger goes weak-kneed when presented with an opportunity to order the killing of bin Laden. DISCLAIMER: This never happened in real life, and is one of the most blatant falsehoods contained in the miniseries.
Crooks and Liars:
Instead of watching the fiction known as Path to 9/11 last night, I opted for something a little more realistic last night ? the FOX Sunday night line up. Even though I didn?t watch it, C&L contributor Mike did and he has supplied us with the big scene that tries to put all the blame for Osama on Sandy Berger.

It took little time for legislatures in North Carolina and Texas to begin drafting legislation that throws up roadblocks to voting following a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that jettisoned one of the provisions of the Voting Rights Act. West Virginians should take heed that lawmakers in Charleston don't entertain similar folly come the next legislative session.
Lawmakers who propose such bills say they do so to combat voter fraud; an effort more akin to tilting at windmills.
The North Carolina law, which is expected to draw lawsuits, reads like fair and open elections are the last thing it seeks to promote. It shortens early voting, disallows provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct from being counted, ends straight-ticket voting, does not allow a student ID card to be counted for voting identification purposes and ends same-day registration and pre-registration for minors. The law, in effect moves far beyond insisting on requiring a valid voter identification.
To buttress their argument in favor of voter ID requirements, supporters have argued that little can be done without proper identification — from boarding a plane to opening a bank account. Of course, these are elective activities, not provided for in the U.S. Constitution, and not part of an individual's rights and responsibilities in a democracy.
Efforts to restrict voting by citizens are as old as the Republic. Alexander Hamilton as well as many early southern Democrats sought to limit voting rights to the rich aristocrats and landowners. Thomas Jefferson opposed both Hamilton and southerners like John Randolph, just as he'd likely oppose the shenanigans of Republican majorities in Texas and North Carolina. Jefferson believed rightly that voting belonged to all free men, and that efforts by some to impose restrictions on others were an abuse of power. Said Jefferson: "It has been thought that corruption is restrained by confining the right of suffrage to a few of the wealthier of the people: but it would be more effectually restrained by an extension of that right to such numbers as would bid defiance to the means of corruption." Well said, that.
Those who seek to throw up roadblocks to voting protest that such requirements are an attempt to secure the integrity of the election process. It's not the integrity of elections they hope to secure; it's the outcomes.
