Big ideas start here
CSIRO aims to establish and build relationships with members of the community. We welcome people of all ages to come and explore our facilities, holiday programs and public events.
Phone: 1300 363 400
Email: email@example.com
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
The new President of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), CSIRO scientist Dr Tom Beer.
Reference: 07/133
An Australian research scientist has been elected President of the international body that guides research into the nature of our planet.
Dr Tom Beer, a senior scientist with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and an expert in environmental risk, will steer the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) until 2011.
The IUGG is a union of eight associations in the fields of meteorology, oceanography, volcanology, seismology, hydrology, geomagnetic science, geodesy and cryospheric science.
"The union fosters collaborative research and information exchange between Earth scientists in 68 countries," says Dr Beer. "It also encourages the application of this research to societal needs, such as mineral resources, mitigation of natural hazards and environmental preservation."
The Council of the IUGG voted in favour of having their next General Assembly in Melbourne in 2011. "I am proud that an Australian President is going to be able to host IUGG in Australia, which attracts attendance by some 5000 Earth scientists from around the world," Dr Beer said.
The President of the Australian Academy of Science, Professor Kurt Lambeck, who nominated Dr Beer, welcomed the announcement of Dr Beer's four-year term. "Dr Beer has had a long association with the IUGG. He was the founding Chair of the IUGG Commission on Geophysical Risk and Sustainability, and most recently was IUGG Vice President. He will make an outstanding President."
Dr Beer is a Stream Leader in the Transport Theme of the Energy Transformed Flagship of CSIRO. He won the CSIRO Chairman's medal in 2000 for his work as part of a team examining greenhouse gas emissions from low-emission vehicles. He is the author of twelve books, one which has been translated into Chinese, and has published more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
Dr Greg Ayers, Chief of CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, congratulated Dr Beer on his appointment. "As well as his scientific expertise, Tom's extensive experience in developing countries, including a review of oceanographic programs in ASEAN countries and an examination of Thailand's greenhouse strategy, will provide the background needed to help the IUGG coordinate information exchange between scientists around the world."
Australian scientist, Ian Allison from the Australian Antarctic Division, also became President-elect of the IUGG's newest constituent Association – the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences. This is the first time in 85 years that the IUGG has agreed to the formation of a new Association.
"I am keen to work with the new International Association of Cryospheric Sciences and believe that their joining the seven other International Associations that used to form the IUGG will produce a stronger and more relevant Scientific Union," said Dr Beer.

Nigel Farage: UKIP not just a protest vote
UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has dismissed suggestions voters in the Eastleigh by-election backed his party as a "protest vote".
He said people voted for UKIP because they were "offering policy solutions" and "common sense ideas".
But Foreign Secretary William Hague insisted it was the Conservatives who would stay on the "common ground".
Lib Dem President Tim Farron described the result, which saw his party hold the seat, as "game changing".
UKIP finished second in Eastleigh, in Hampshire, with 28% of the total vote, pushing the Conservative Party into third place.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted his party will not "lurch to the right" following the result and will "stick to the course" the government is on.
'Two fingers'The Conservatives have argued the surge in support for UKIP was essentially a protest vote, but Mr Farage dismissed this as "the default position of the political establishment".
More than 48 hours on, there is still a vibrant small industry in reading the political runes of the Eastleigh by-election result.
The battle for votes in the Hampshire town offered little in the way of cheer for either the prime minister or Ed Miliband, with the Conservatives and Labour finishing third and fourth respectively.
The Sunday newspapers are full of stories about senior Tories talking up ideas that will be seen as muscular Conservative fodder, such as scepticism about the European Convention on Human Rights and restricting access to the NHS for immigrants.
It is an attempt to take on the threat posed by UKIP but sits alongside the prime minister emphasising the NHS and cutting the cost of living - what, in the round, Downing Street calls the "common ground" of politics.
In other words, the Tory leadership wants to persuade people the Conservatives have broad appeal, without being accused of a political lurch or knee-jerk reaction to a single by-election result.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that some people who voted UKIP in Eastleigh "probably used it as a chance to stick two fingers up to the establishment", but insisted others did so because the Conservatives, Labour and the Lib Dems were not offering voters "a real choice".
"You can't put a cigarette paper between them on policy," he said. "They don't just vote UKIP because they dislike the other three, they vote UKIP on policy.
"What we're saying to people and what we're putting in front of them is a common sense idea of how we should control our borders, of what our relationship with Europe should be, of what we should be doing about the looming energy crisis.
"Actually people vote for UKIP because they see us offering policy solutions."
But speaking on the same programme, the foreign secretary insisted it was the Conservative Party which was sticking to the "common ground" and offering solutions to the country's problems.
Mr Hague said: "We're not brushing it off. There are people who are impatient for us to sort these things out.
"What we have to do is make sure we follow up and communicate properly the things that we are succeeding in in government."
He cited a fall in net migration, reductions in welfare spending and increases to the personal tax allowance as evidence the government was addressing people's concerns.
'Siren voices'Liberal Democrat Tim Farron said the result for his party, which held on to the seat despite a drop in its vote share, showed that "Lib Dem fortresses are firm".
And he warned the prime minister against listening to "siren voices from the right", which would be "very foolish" for the country and the Conservative Party.
He said it was a "game changing result" for his party.
"This vindicates the position we have taken which was 'It's a tough thing to go into government.'
"The alternatives were worse and it was far better for us to campaign for the right things in power than to sit on the sidelines. It shows you can take power and you can win elections. "
Mr Farron said the result demonstrated the Liberal Democrats had the right to exercise more "muscle" in coalition negotiations, particularly in the run-up to the Budget on 20 March.
He rejected a suggestion from Conservative Defence Secretary Philip Hammond that the defence budget should be protected and more cuts made to welfare.
"At a time like this to think it is more important to be investing in Trident or something like that, rather than protecting people who are the least well off in our society, that would be morally wrong as well as just economically stupid," he said.

Storage in virtualized environments: getting ahead in the move to tomorrows Cloud infrastructures - Bull, IDC and NetApp - Paris/Hôtel George V 08:30 to 10:30 8 September 2010
The virtualization of server environments has already achieved a good level of maturity: 20% of servers bought by companies in 2009 were destined to support virtualized environments. The Age of virtualization is a concrete reality, shaping the new profile of IT as it gradually moves towards the Cloud model.
But it is not possible to evolve towards these kinds of infrastructure without considering IT in its entirety: networks, applications and above all storage, the only area where demand has continued to grow at an exponential rate, despite the major cutbacks in IT budgets in 2009.
At the point where issues of availability, data protection, service quality and even business continuity converge, organizations storage strategies are becoming vital drivers that will prove decisive in determining the success or failure of virtualized infrastructures.
IDC, Bull and NetApp invite you to share their thoughts and experiences at a breakfast seminar on 8 September 2010, at 08:30 in the seminar rooms at the Hotel Georges V in Paris.
- 08:30: Towards a new paradigm based on virtualization and Cloud Computing.
Karim Bahloul, Consultancy Director, IDC France: Evolution and trends in IT infrastructures. The vital role played by storage. - 08:50: How to transform your Data Center into a true Services Center.
- Bruno Picard, Technical Director, NetApp: NetApp storage solutions in virtualized environments for services-oriented, scalable and secure end-to-end Data Centers.
- Philippe Reynier, Director of Bulls International StoreWay Center of Excellence: Bulls expertise and solutions to support your transition to a services-oriented Data Center.
- 09:30: Storage and virtualization at an innovative Web hosting specialist. How has it affected the business?
Cyril Thiery, Offerings Director, Agarik - 10:00: Panel discussion and Q&As with all participants who will join Eric Panetta, Project Manager at French department authority based in Strasbourg who will share his experience of leading the project and successfully implementing storage in a virtualized environment.
- 10:30: Discussion ends.

Strike That Supplement: Book Now for Solo Cruise Deals
Sailing for One? Visit the Solo Cruisers Forum
10 Things Every Solo Cruiser Should Know
(12:45 p.m. EDT) -- Solo cruisers often get the short end of the stick when it comes to booking a cruise: They're forced to pay a single-traveler surcharge, often amounting to a total cruise fare that's twice what their coupled shipmates pay. But recently, we've seen a spate of solo traveler deals, with several river cruise lines waiving the single supplement altogether and several luxury lines offering reduced surcharges of 10 to 50 percent.
But are these deals too good to be true? "There are two reasons why river cruise lines waive solo supplements," says Rick Kaplan, president of Premier River Cruises. The first is capacity; the lines will try to fill up slow-selling, often low-season departures by offering discounts. The second is that "there's a growing realization that within the river lines' target age group, there is an expanding number of solo travelers." So it's beneficial for the lines to attract a demographic that is very keen to cruise.
The lines may be self-serving, but that doesn't mean you won't benefit. What a cruise line considers "low season" may be your ideal time to travel -- or you might much prefer a reduced rate to perfect weather. But if you see a solo deal on a peak-season sailing, be a little wary. It may mean the line just raised rates or the deal is only on low-category cabins that aren't as desirable.
If you're looking for a cabin all to yourself, on a no-compromise vacation with just you, book soon to take advantage of these solo cruise deals. And while many cruise lines list solo deals on their Web sites, it's always wise to contact a travel agent, who might have better deals they can only reveal over the phone.
No Supplement Deals
Avalon Waterways:
This river line is waiving the single supplement on select river cruises departing in July, September and October 2012. Only 10 cabins (in categories B, A and P) on each eligible departure are available for this deal. You must book by July 24, 2012.
Avalon Waterways Cruise Reviews
Details on the Deal
Book by June 30 to take advantage of a waived supplement on two AmaCerto cruises: the November 15, 2012, sailing from Nuremberg to Budapest and the November 22, 2012, sailing from Budapest to Nuremberg. Both cruises are seven nights and fares start from $1,699 for a Category E cabin. Optional land programs are an additional charge (and a solo surcharge may apply to this portion of the trip).
AmaWaterways Cruise Reviews
Details on the Deal
Book a Category 1 cabin on any of Tauck's 14 European river cruises in 2013 and pay no single supplement. The average savings is over $2,400 (but you can save $4,676 on a 24-day cruise). If you prefer a Category 3 cabin (which features a French balcony instead of a window), Tauck is offering $1,000 off the single supplement on eight Europe cruise itineraries.
Tauck Cruise Reviews

Meditation flashmob takes over Trafalgar Square
Flash Mobs are large groups of people who gather "spontaneously" in a public place, perform an unusual act then quickly disperse. On June 2, the Wake Up London sangha organized a flashmob meditation in London's Tragalgar Square, which attracted several hundred participants. The event was modeled on public meditations such as the one in Austin, Texas, that took place this spring.
The project's goals included creating an environment for people from all walks of life to come together in meditation, spreading awareness of meditation to the public, and coming together as a community to send positive intentions out into the world.
At 6:32PM a female member of Wake Up London started meditating between the square's two large fountains. Over the …

The Buddha of Suburbia: But shaped hedge sparks a religious hate campaign by villagers
It took them 30 years to create a garden of Zen-like calm.
But the peace has been shattered for Raymond and Sacha Hubbard after they had one of their bushes trimmed – into the shape of a Buddha.
An anonymous detractor has written to the couple warning them their enlightened topiary will bring a curse upon their Grade II listed home.
The letter, which arrived by second class post, read: 'It is with sorrow that we saw you cutting and shaping your bushes into a Buddha. Are you not aware that having such an idol of worship will bring a curse upon you? Keep the thing and you have the spirit that goes with you.'
It goes on to quote Psalm 115 in the …

"Brainwashed" ex-RAF officer wins back £800,000 house he gave to guru
A former RAF officer who was 'brainwashed' into signing over his £800,000 home to a religious guru has won his property back.
Military intelligence specialist Richard Curtis, 53, and his wife joined the controversial Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre after he retired from the services.
Mr Curtis and wife Fiananda, 48, also a former RAF officer, gave their luxury country home to the cult and self-styled guru leader Rena Denton.
But a court heard Mr Curtis left the Somerset-based religious group after discovering his wife was having an affair with another man.
He sued the healing centre to get his house back – claiming he was 'brainwashed' into handing over the £800,000 farmhouse in the Welsh countryside.

The Guardian newspaper's guide to meditation
Last weekend the British Guardian newspaper published a guide to meditation. Here are extracts, as well as links to the full articles…
1. How to meditate: An introduction
Rates of depression and anxiety are rising in the modern world. Andrew Oswald, a professor at Warwick University who studies wellbeing, recently told me that mental health indicators nearly always point down. "Things are not going completely well in western society," he said. Proposed remedies are numerous. And one that is garnering growing attention is meditation, and mindfulness meditation in particular.
The aim is simple: to pay attention – be "mindful". Typically, a teacher will ask you to sit upright, in an alert position. Then, they will encourage you to focus on something straightforward, like …

O, Miami: A Month of Verse In Our Paradise of the Perverse
For those who pay any attention, who take care to look a bit further than the glossy pamphlet veneer, there's a great deal more to what makes Miami the Magic City than strung-out nights under neon on South Beach, and half-naked candy kids marching down Biscayne like a horde of zombies. This town is beautiful and blunt and brutal, it's surreal and sublime and stupid, it's decadent and depraved and ceaselessly, wonderfully different. Courtesy of O, Miami
The more you think about how inspiring it can be, in all its chaos and magnificence and degeneracy, it makes one wonder why Miamians hasn't got more of a penchant for poetry when there's so much here to put to pen.
Fortunately, for one month of the year, Miami is saturated with verse upon the arrival of the O, Miami Poetry Festival. Since 2011, the month of April has been made into a citywide celebration of all things poetic, with an array of events ranging from readings and recitations by brilliant writers, to parades celebrating the life and death of poetry and the poets who've practiced it. This time around, the docket of events and projects makes it pretty apparent that 2014 will be the festival's most interesting year yet.
"We typically do our biggest event at the end of the month and we're doing it at the beginning of the month this year," noted P. Scott Cunningham, founder and director of O, Miami. "It's on April 5th at Soundscape Park at the New World Symphony, and it's the first time anyone's done a poetry wallcast, in the same way the City of Miami Beach shows movies on the wall and the symphony does their wallcasts of their concerts. We have two of the biggest poets in the United States reading, and it's going to have the same in-depth, multiple camera angle production-level feel that you get with the New World Symphony, but with poetry."
When Cunningham says "two of the biggest poets in the United States," it is a statement wholly devoid of exaggeration. The two poets in question are Robert Hass and Kay Ryan - both of whom are former Poet Laureates of the United States. For those unfamiliar with the significance of being named the nation's official poet, other former laureates include Robert Penn Warren, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, Rita Dove, and Maya Angelou.
If not one but two Poet Laureates weren't enough, there will also be a reading by National Book Award Winner, Nikky Finney. Put quite simply, if you can make your way to Soundscape Park on April 5th, you are going to hear some extraordinarily talented writers filling the grounds with some incredibly lovely words, and you will not be disappointed.
The month-long festival will pepper the whole metropolis with poetic celebrations big and small, and some promise to be pretty damn colorful. On a yet-to-be-decided day in April, actor Ivan Lopez will ride a white horse down Calle Ocho dressed as Jose Martí and hand out roses with poems penned by the famed Cuban poet and national hero. Imagine, if you will, the joy of seeing a man dressed in a fine black suit and sporting a well-kept mustache ambling along Calle Ocho on a white steed, handing you a rose and a poem before he continues to ride deeper into heart of Little Havana.

Bradford Man Pleads Guilty to Motor Vehicle Homicide
A 52-year-old Bradford man pleaded guilty today in Salem Superior Court to charges in connection with a motor vehicle crash, in front of the Massachusetts State Police barracks in Andover, which took the life of a 30-year-old Bradford woman.
Robert V. Bryant, 52 of Bradford, pleaded guilty to felony motor vehicle homicide and attempting the leave the scene of a fatal crash in connection with the December 12, 2010 incident in which Cynthia Ray was killed.
Judge John Lu sentenced Bryant to two and half years in the House of Correction for the felony motor vehicle homicide, one element of which includes Operating under the Influence. He sentenced him to another two and half years in the House of Correction, one year to be served, for the attempting to leave the scene charge. The remaining one and half years of that sentence is suspended for five years during which he was ordered to refrain from consuming alcohol, submit to random alcohol screens and not operate a motor vehicle. The sentences will be served consecutively. The motor vehicle homicide conviction results in an automatic 15 year loss of his driver's license.
"Once again, we are reminded that drunk driving is a senseless, reckless and lethal act. Ms. Ray's death was tragic and entirely preventable," District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett said. "Today the defendant takes responsibility for his actions. While no outcome can lessen the loss of Ms. Ray's family and friends, hopefully they found some consolation today."
Had the case gone to trial, Essex Assistant District Attorney Michael Patten would have proved that on December 12, 2010, Bryant, while under the influence of alcohol and operating his 2010 Chevrolet pickup truck negligently, struck and killed Ray as she walked to her parked vehicle in front of the State Police Andover barracks. Bryant continued to drive approximately 100 yards past the crash scene where a Massachusetts State Police officer found him. Ray was initially taken to Lawrence General Hospital and was later transported to Massachusetts General Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
Patten explained that the sentence recommended to the Judge was agreed upon with full support of the victim's family who are represented in the collateral civil action by Attorney David Angueira.
Bryant was represented by Attorneys Randy Chapman and Charles Rankin. He was taken into custody following the hearing.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)How this 'Traveling Hero' saved a life - Orlando
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 28th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Dante the Labrador used his bad luck to save a life. Dante has the misfortune to be left behind with a caretaker when his owner, a navy officer, was deployed to Spain with his wife. The decision, it turns out, was a fortunate one for the Navy vet's mother-in-law. ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - Left with Navy Commander Carl Eierle's mother-in-law, Gudrun Mastriano, at her Kissimmee home, Dante was certainly sad. However, the three-year-old lab did not let the sadness stop him from becoming a hero.While walking home, Mastriano and Dante happened across a cottonmouth snake. The deadly snake was poised to strike Mastriano when Dante intervened, placing himself in front of the snake just as it struck. Dante was bitten on both his face and leg as he dragged the snake away from Mastriano. Mastriano then rushed Dante to a local veterinary clinic where he was treated with antivenin. Dante's face swelled by about 17 inches, but rapid veterinary care saved his life. "I thought he looked like a little baby hippopotamus," Mastriano said. Dante was subsequently treated in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy unit to speed his healing. The treatments lasted a week, and the entire healing process took two months. For his reward, the hero dog has been reunited with his owners in Spain. Loaded into a crate marked "Traveling Hero" Dante can now relax with his owners, in a place where there are no venomous snakes for this lovable hero to fight.

On NYC Prep it's not enough just to be rich.
Taylor, the lone public school student among the private school elite of the new Bravo reality show, would easily be the queen bee in any other corner of the world. But she's cast in the role of the striver here, the Jenny Humphrey trying to keep up with a group of unfathomably wealthy teens for whom trivial things like credit card limits, curfews and parents just don't exist.
Taylor and her frenemies cruise from one New York hotspot to another, BlackBerrys surgically attached to their hands. Though one of the girls emphatically proclaims her hatred for Gossip Girl, these kids revel in living out every cliché the fictional series has introduced to the masses.
With his Peter Frampton haircut and husky mumble, Nate Archibald clone Sebastian is a magnet for unsuspecting teenage girls. Just one hair flip and they treat him like a long-lost Jonas brother. PC, Chuck Bass surrogate and real-life step-grandson of the woman who created Sesame Street, provides a tutorial on how this society works: it's all about money and connections. He's got them; the rest of us don't.

My son is 10-months-old and is very active. He enjoys playing with this toy when he sits in his high chair. It's great when I need him to wait while I prepare his food. When he has the freedom to move around, he has difficulty sitting still to play with it. However, I think he may use it more as he gets older.

"Tiger Mom" Daughter Gets Harvard, Yale

Parenting isn't just about getting your kids into the best schools, it's also about making sure they like what they do, are socially active, etc. I know nothing about her daughter so I won't comment but it's ridiculous to say that just because she got into Harvard and Yale Amy Chua is automatically a good parent.
2. Amy Chua went to Harvard and teaches at Yale.
I'm all for discipline and making sure my kids value education, etc. but I wouldn't be able to look at myself if I pushed my kids in a way that made them successful but ultimately unhappy. If you ever read the Chua book, you'll see that in the end she realizes that being such a tough parent isn't always the way to go

Best of luck to her daughter (she's pretty cute)--there is no truly correct way to raise a child, only a ton of really awful methods.

I haven't been able to locate a map that shows the paths that campers can use to access the beach in Sawmill Bay Campground.On another website, campers indicated that they went from site #114 down a slope to the water to launch their canoe, but I can't see anything noted on the Park Map.Does anyone know where the paths are?

photo by Allan Hawkins Dinner! Another expression for iguana here in Panama is "pollo de palo" --- literally translated, stick chicken --- as reptiles and amphibians taste a lot like birds and iguanas are mostly arboreal. This iguana, which looks like it's about to shed its skin as all reptiles do, was encountered by Allan Hawkins at the Azuero Fair. Has it been stewed with a little sofrito by the time you see this photo? Panama is a little country that has regional cultures, cuisines and dialects. The Azuero Peninsula, which is more arid than the rest of the country, is the heartland of the cultura típica, with such expressions as the cumbia, tamborito and decima musical genres; mud and wattle quincha house construction; polleras and montunos and so on. One of its towns, Chitre, is the place to go for tiles if you need them for your Spanish-style roof or the interior of your house. Another of its towns, Las Tablas, is home to the biggest of all the Carnival celebrations. Panama's liquor distilling industry is headquartered in the Azuero, and the peninsula's blunt southern shore, from Pedasi to Tonosi, is home to Panama's most notable surfing beaches. *
* *
The Azuero is shared among three provinces, Herrera, part of Veraguas and Los Santos. The baseball team from the latter, whose home field is in Las Tablas, won this year's national baseball tournament. By the time that competition is held, the best Panamanian practitioners of the sport are playing in various professional leagues abroad, primarily in the United States but also in Mexico and Japan. If you want to see the major leaguers of tomorrow you should catch the national junior tournament in January and February and if you want your alma mater to go to the NCAA College World Series you should encourage the baseball coach to attend or send somebody to scout and recruit that tournament, as many major league organizations do. The other day I went to the Rodney Carew National Stadium in Panama City to catch a baseball game in which the all-stars from the various military services in the US Southern Command played the all-stars from the teams that didn't make it to the national baseball tournament's finals. It was kind of a lopsided contest and at times the stadium was blanketed in toxic smoke from a fire at the city dump nearby on Cerro Patacon. I discovered first-hand one of the hazards of sports photography --- while I was shooting a photo of a batter swinging, he fouled off the pitch and, having been watching through the tunnel vision of my camera, I wasn't able to catch the ball's trajectory. It hit me squarely in the chest. No injury to me, or to the camera, but it was a reminder of just how horrible a player I was back in Little League. A few days before that I was in Margarita, where Manzanillo International Terminal, a subsidiary of Seattle-based Stevedoring Services of America rebuilt the old Little League stadium where I used to play. They did a beautiful job. *

On May 2 most of
the country got a heavy rain, and although we are not getting rain
every day the shift in the winds tells us that dry season is over. I
want to get another day of heavy rain before I start putting in my
garden, but meanwhile in San Carlos there are two of the sure signs of
rainy season's onset:
1. Bugs are emerging from the soil, tree bark and other dry season places and we're getting the first flying insect invasions of the year. There are lots of fireflies and the first of the things that crunch when you roll over in bed. The little black beetles that bite will no doubt be along soon. I have burned my first Chinese punk coils of the year. 2. We're getting an early mango season and I have been harvesting and processing a lot of fruit from my mother's trees. As a matter of fact, at my side as I type these words I have a mango milkshake in my mug. (Chunks of mangoes, crushed ice, milk and sugar, liquefied in the blender.) Last night I did a panagringo variation on a Cuban recipe. I thawed a couple of frozen turkey legs in the microwave, then stripped the meat away from the bones and tendons and cut it up into bite-sized chunks. Meanwhile in a saucepan I simmered about two cups of diced mango (not including peels or seeds, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept), a small onion (sliced), a couple of cloves of garlic (minced), dashes of powdered ginger and Chinese mustard powder and a few drops of aji chombo sauce. After heating and stirring, when the mango chunks have dissolved into goo and the onions are transparent, the sauce is ready. The chunks of turkey go into a casserole dish and the mango sauce goes on top of it and it all goes in the oven. When the meat is thoroughly cooked, then the night's main dish, turkey in mango sauce, is ready. Put mango slices away in the freezer now and you'll be able to have mango sauce and milkshakes when the season's over. Dry bits of mango in a food dehydrator and those can be the basis of another set of recipes, if you don't eat them as sweets first. *

One of the
delaying factors in getting this issue's front page uploaded was that I
the evening of May 6 watching election returns from North Carolina and
Indiana. It was a fascinating show for a politics junkie and another
shift in momentum that surely makes Obama the presumptive Democratic
nominee. (I expect them to split the remaining primaries, and even if
she does better than I expect he'll end the primary season far ahead.)
In this issue I give space to US presidential politics: Obama weighs in on energy policy and McCain on health care in the English opinion section, while Hillary Clinton talks about immigration reform and George W. Bush talks about NAFTA in the Spanish-language opinion sections. *
* *
Quite frankly, I
have hated the mudslinging and guilt by association campaign that the
Clintons have been waging and I'm glad to see that it hasn't succeeded
in changing the basic momentum of the campaign. No doubt what the
Clintons began, the Republicans will continue in the fall.
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his beliefs don't particularly offend me, although I do find some of them fairly bizarre and I can readily understand Barack Obama's irritation when Wright says or insinuates that Obama agrees in his heart but won't say so. That's insulting because it demeans the presidential candidate as unduly influenced by others or hypocritical or both, so I understand Obama's harsh words about his former pastor. But we should also be aware that much of the attack on Obama for his association with Wright is based upon a totally distorted lifting out of context of a few seconds of the pastor's remarks. The Clinton people and the Republicans sought to bring the campaign into the gutter with that tactic, but meanwhile on PBS Bill Moyers did a show that put the remarks in their proper context, and you can watch that show online by clicking here. Some of the conspiracy theories that Wright and, polls indicate, a large portion of the African American community believe are, on the other hand, pretty far out there. But then, it's not as it Wright is deranged or ignorant or insincere. There are reasons why he and a lot of other people believe as they do in certain unreasonable propositions. Are we, for
example, to blame the US government for the spread of AIDS among black
people? Are we to even go farther than that and believe that the
disease itself was the product of a US military germ warfare
experiment? Wright has embraced the former idea, and a surprisingly
large number of people also believe the latter one.
The best evidence is that HIV originated as a disease among a species of monkeys in Africa and was somehow transmitted to humans there --- maybe by someone eating monkey meat that wasn't fully cooked or maybe by someone being bitten by an infected animal. The exact circumstances of the cross-species jump we will probably never know. It seems to have been around among people for many years before it was identified. The ability of this virus to mutate was surely a factor in it becoming so contagious, and then a few unhappy circumstances shaped the ways in which the epidemic grew. DNA and other evidence suggests, for example, that a single person was the vector by which the disease was introduced into the North American gay community, where it thrived on promiscuity. It is also known that in the early days of the US epidemic the disease spread rapidly among drug addicts who shared needles, a disproportionate percentage of whom were black. It has gone well beyond that now and is neither a "gay disease" nor a "junkie disease," and in many parts of the world was never either one of those things. But is there a history of the US government experimenting on black people with infectious diseases? Yes there is. The most notorious example was the "Tuskeegee Study" of how, over many decades of unethical medical supervision, untreated syphilis affected black men. And is there a history of the US government experimenting with, developing or using "ethnic weapons" that would affect one race or nationality differently than another? That goes way back to before the days of the American republic with the legendary passing out of blankets infected with smallpox among Indians, includes US experiments during World War II on Panama's San Jose Island to see if Puerto Rican soldiers reacted differently to mustard gas than other American troops, and gets into more modern research in search of stink bombs that are more annoying to Third World cultures without modern plumbing. No doubt, US military labs are involved in biological weapons research. If nothing else, this is done to protect against an attacker that might not have the same scruples about germ warfare that the American government presumably does. Recall that in the days after Al Qaeda attacked the United States there was a big scare about anthrax letters, which caused at least five deaths. The crime remains unsolved but it is believed by both US law enforcement agencies and scientists, on the basis of DNA tests, that the pathogens used in those attacks were obtained from a US military lab. And if AIDS was spread through black communities starting with the junkies, what has been the role of the US government with respect to drug trafficking? Yes, there are the DEA and the War on Drugs and there are hundreds of thousands of people locked up in the United States for drug offenses. But then there was also heroin smuggling by the CIA's Air America during the Vietnam era. The Reagan administration's Contra War against Nicaragua also involved US alliances with cocaine smugglers. Also notice that since the Taliban was replaced by a government that the United States backs, Afghanistan's opium production has gone way up. The initial US public policy reaction to the AIDS epidemic was flawed in many respects, and it would be easy to twist this into a charge that the government spread HIV in black (and other) communities. But did it cause the AIDS epidemic as a deliberate, malicious act? There is no credible evidence out there to support this proposition, even though a lot of people, especially a lot of African Americans, believe this to be the case. On this point I believe Jeremiah Wright to be wrong, and Barack Obama rejects the reverend's belief about that as well. But given what I have cited above and many other examples that could feed suspicions, I can't say that Wright's mistaken belief on that point is a lunatic's fantasy. In any case, for the Clintons to base an attack on Barack Obama for his association with Jeremiah Wright is a prime example of the unprincipled crudeness in American politics that Obama has been criticizing on the campaign trail all these months. After all, when Bill Clinton was facing impeachment charges for some obnoxious personal behavior and lies that he told to deny it, who came to the president's defense? Why, as you can see from this White House photo, none other than --- Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The Clintons hypocritically bashed Obama about Reverend Wright because they well knew that their opponent's character is such that he wouldn't stoop down into the gutter and throw that association back at them. 'Nuff said about this pastor. If the GOP wants to make an issue of it in the fall, the Democrats can start talking about the holy men in and around the McCain camp. * * * Here in Panama the Democrats are resurgent from a low point a few years ago and the US antiwar movement may not be marching in the streets of this country but it has strong support and was surely an important factor in Obama carrying Panama in the Democrats Abroad primary. But we also have a part of the American community here that enthusiastically backs the Iraq War. They'll be gathering at the Navy League meeting on May 20 to hear a report from the former deputy director of the Strategic Counterintelligence Directoate (SCID) on the progress that's allegedly being made in that conflict. The SCID is an organization that combines the various military and civilian government agencies and "civilian contractor" mercenaries to, as a recruiting firm puts it on its website, conduct "investigations and operations to identify and neutralize or influence the activities of Foreign Intelligence and Security Service (FISS), terrorist, insurgent, and other entities adversely affecting the mission." Meanwhile, do we hear the drums of war off in the distance in this region? The US Navy has reconstituted its Fourth Fleet after many decades, with one of the reasons given being the rise of governments in Latin America and the Caribbean that are not friendly to US policies. Meanwhile in landlocked Bolivia, there is a secessionist movement in the country's eastern region --- where most of the white people who lost power to the indigenous majority with the election victory of Evo Morales live, and under which most of the country's oil and gas lies. It may come to blows, just as when an oil-producing part of Nigeria tried to become independent Biafra and as when the southern states tried to secede from the United States. Here in Panama some of the folks whom you would suspect are beginning to mobilize support for Bolivian unity. And then there is the steady stream of newspaper stories and outright propaganda that suggests that Panama really needs to drop its traditional "hands off" approach to Colombia's civil conflicts and support the Bogota government and its irregular death squad auxiliaries against FARC. Might FARC be playing right into the hands of such people as well? And if FARC is a foreign terrorist group operating in Panama, are they the only one? One needs to be cautious --- as some of the folks whom you would expect not to be are not --- but our lead story this time is about a couple of possible terrorist angles to what at first was reported as a garden variety kidnapping. In cases like these one needs to be careful, to note the biases and the background details that might be relevant, and to be patient with people and institutions that are wary of saying something that could get somebody killed. I try. *
* *
It looks like
Panama's electric rates, already high, are
about to go up again. It's a
big deal for everybody, even those who don't directly see it because
their household electricity is subsidized.
High energy costs are one of the major factors driving a worldwide spike in food prices, which is starting to cause food riots in some of the poorest countries like Haiti, is destabilizing governments of various political hues and which is the subject of labor agitation in many places. For this issue I attended the Mayday parades, noted who was there and who wasn't and in what numbers, read the different unions' literature and talked to some of the different labor leaders. There is simmering discontent among working people in Panama and one of the main reasons why this is so is the increased cost of living. I also stopped by the courthouse in Balboa where the number two man in SUNTRACS, Saúl Méndez, had s preliminary hearing on some conspiracy allegations. (The judge threw out the charges but the prosecutors say they'll appeal.) This edition's featured Cool Internet sites are also labor-oriented, with looks at the origin of Mayday, Panama's two most successful labor unions and some interesting websites from the US labor movement. *

I have been in
food production mode of late, and really do need to visit some more
restaurants in order to write some more dining out articles. Maybe on
my own, or as contributions from some of you readers, I should publish
some more recipes in the coming issues as well.
But this time I received a kitchen feature with the recipe not included. Enjoy. * Although this
front page is several days behind deadline and there are still parts of
this issue yet undone, other parts of this publication appeared before
the stated publication date. All of these sorts of problems will be
taken care of in a new format to come, but meanwhile, and after the new
platform is installed and running as well, people who are on The Panama

Chris Casher makes case for fifth star
FSU defensive end commit puts on show, as do several offensive linemen
The Linemen Challenge at The Opening featured the big men in different events designed to test their unique abilities. They received instruction from players such as current pro Ndamukong Suh and former pros LeCharles Bentley and Chuck Wiley. Most of the players also competed during one-on-one drills in helmets and shoulder pads, which allowed for a little more of a realistic look. Here are some who stood out.
Top prospects
Chris Casher (Mobile, Ala./Faith Academy)
Position: DE
6-5, 236
College: Florida State
Casher proved why he is one of the top defensive end prospects in the nation with his performance at The Opening. He is a young man who easily passes the eye test and is able to defeat blockers in an array of ways. He displayed a good initial burst and was able to at times use his size and power to get physical with and push blockers back to the quarterback. He also displayed the ability and savvy to be able to work some moves. In one rep against the monster-sized Zach Banner he came up-field hard then quickly countered back inside with a well-executed spin move. Casher possesses a nice combination of size and athleticism for the position, and he is working hard to close that narrow gap between him and a fifth star.
(San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente)
Position: OT
6-6, 270
College: Undeclared
A top 30 prospect in the ESPNU 150, we knew going into the event Murphy was a very good prospect, but the big man still managed to impress and even surprise us some with his ability as a pass blocker. We knew he could be a dominating run blocker and saw the tools be a good pass protector, but at The Opening in pads he answered some questions about how far along and strong he was in that phase. He displayed the nimble feet we saw on film and was able to quickly get set and kick back and was tough to get around. He can bend well and mirror and displayed good upper-body strength to be able to punch and lock down rushers. Even more impressively Murphy still has room to grow physically and improve some, but he showed a lot and proved he can be very good as both a run and pass blocker.
Jay Guillermo (Maryville, Tenn./Maryville)
Position: C
6-3, 292
College: Clemson
Guillermo was the only center in attendance, but he proved he was all the camp needed. Rated as the top center prospect in the nation he put forth an effort worthy of that. With the natural ability to snap the ball and quickly move his feet and play with bend, Guillermo was tough in pass protection. Also impressive was that the high school center showed he is coachable and got better every day fixing little mistakes. He still needs to work on the use of his hands and be sure not to bend at the waist, but the top center showed he has good ability with some coachable flaws and the work ethic and attitude to get better.
Vadal Alexander (Buford, Ga./Buford)
Position: OG
6-5, 320
College: Undeclared
A high school tackle, Alexander is someone we project to fit better at guard at the next level, but at The Opening the No. 5 rated guard showed that a transition to the next level as a tackle still is very possible. The four-star had a solid showing the last time we saw him on the camp circuit at an NFTC, but he came to Oregon and elevated his performance. He came looking a little leaner physically and was much more consistent and improved in his play and showed signs of being a player that could play inside or on the edge. Alexander was extremely tough to come inside on as the big tackle quickly showed he could "pound the post" and take away the inside counter and wash pass rushers down. Overall, he put forth a very strong performance.
Sheldon Day (Indianapolis/Warren Central)
Position: DT
6-2, 275
College: Undeclared
The ESPNU 150 defender may not have been the biggest defensive tackle in attendance, but it didn't stop him from being one of the most productive. He consistently showed throughout the camp that he could use his compact and stout build to his advantage by quickly firing out and getting under blockers' pads, winning the leverage battle and pushing them back into the pocket.
Isaac Seumalo (Corvallis, Ore./Corvallis)
Position: OG
6-3, 280
College: Oregon State
The Oregon State commit is not the most physically imposing line prospect, but he continues to prove he is one of the best and most consistent. On the first day of one-on-ones, the No. 2 rated guard was outstanding, stuffing pretty much anyone who tried to rush him. He was not as dominant the other days, showing he is capable of getting beat every now again, but overall this an excellent prospect. He needs more mass, but has a nice frame to develop and is very technically sound. He is able to quickly get set and is very good with his punch and placement. He plays with bend and moves his feet well. With added size he could very well play as a freshman for the Beavers.
Ellis McCarthy (Monrovia, Calif./Monrovia)
Position: DT
6-4, 305
College: Undeclared
A big defensive tackle, McCarthy can be a disruptive interior pass rusher. He needs to be more consistent and have a plan at times so he can be more efficient with his activity, but he is very active with his hands. He has a violent club move and will try and attack half-a-man. With his a combination of size and violent weapons, McCarthy proves that when he can put the pieces together he can be a real handful as a pass rusher.
