US 7230180 B2 Abstract A multi-strand steel cable includes steel strands jacketed with plastic fibers, where the plastic fiber jacketing is melted onto the steel strands by a thermal treatment. The steel cable has a core formed by an unjacketed steel strand, and the core is surrounded by jacketed steel strands. The heat supplied during the thermal treatment is introduced in such a way that certain areas of the steel strands which have been jacketed with the melted plastic fibers, namely, the areas adjacent to the core, are melted onto the outside circumference of the core.
Claims(3) 1. A multi-strand steel cable comprising:
a core consisting of a plurality of wires without a jacket; and
a plurality of jacketed steel strands surrounding the core, each strand comprising a plurality of wires surrounded by a plastic fiber jacket which is melted onto the wires in the strand, each jacket having an area which is in contact with the core, said area being melted onto the core.
2. A method of producing a multi-strand steel cable, said method comprising:
providing each of a plurality of steel strands with a jacket of plastic fibers;
subjecting each of the strands to a thermal treatment so that the plastic fibers are melted onto respective said strands to form jacketed steel strands;
providing a core consisting of an unjacketed steel strand;
surrounding the core with a plurality of said jacketed strands to form a steel cable wherein each jacket has an area adjacent to the core; and
subjecting the steel cable to a thermal treatment so that the adjacent areas of the jacketed strands melt onto the core.
3. The method of
Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention pertains to a multi-strand steel cable, having steel strands jacketed with plastic fibers, where the plastic fiber jacketing is melted onto the steel strands by a thermal treatment. The invention also pertains to a process for producing a multi-strand steel cable. 2. Description of the Related Art DE 26 30 417 A1 describes a steel cable in which the plastic fiber jacketing of the steel strands has been thermally treated in such a way that at least certain areas of the jacketing are melted onto the individual steel strands. The steel cable itself is then formed by combining the individual strands which have been treated in this way. It is proposed as an alternative that a cable be formed first out of unjacketed steel strands and that the cable as whole then be provided with a plastic fiber jacket, which is then thermally treated so that at least partial melting occurs. In both variants, the thermal treatment is preferably carried out by means of induction. An object of the invention is to improve the durability of steel cable of this type having of multiple strands. According to the invention, the steel cable has a core, which consists of an unjacketed steel strand, and this core is surrounded by the jacketed steel strands. Heat supplied during the thermal treatment is introduced in such a way that the areas of the plastic fiber jackets of the steel strands which are in contact with the core are melted onto the core. The following procedure is used to produce the multi-strand steel cable: jacketing a steel strand with plastic fibers; subjecting the jacketed steel strand to a thermal treatment so that the plastic fibers are melted onto the steel strand; combining several of the steel strands which have been treated in his way and an unjacketed steel strand, which will form the core, to form a steel cable; and subjecting the steel cable to a thermal treatment, during which heat is introduced in such a way that certain areas of the steel strands which have been jacketed with the melted plastic fibers, namely, the areas adjacent to the core, are melted onto the outside circumference of the core. In contrast to known steel cables, the steel cables produced in this way offer significant advantages in terms of strength and durability. The jacketing of the steel strands protects them against abrasion and corrosion. Because the melted plastic fibers are also bonded to the steel strand forming the core, the overall strength of the cable is significantly increased. As in the state of the art, the thermal treatment of the individual steel strands and of the cable formed from them takes place by induction. The reason for this is that the heat produced by induction comes from the inside, which means that the heat transfer and thus the melting process can be controlled very precisely. Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to, be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein. Thus, while there have shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements and/or method steps shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or embodiment as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto. Patent Citations

Elizabeth Nel served as Winston Churchill's personal secretary during World War II. The vivid and human details of her experiences, of her impressions and memories of the irascible and loveable war hero, take up the story of Churchill's life at No. 10 where the BBC's impressive drama, The Gathering Storm, leaves off-when Churchill took over the reins of Government at the outset of the war. Finally, the author, Elizabeth Nel, at 90 years of age, looks back across the years.
"Mrs Nel was Mr Churchill's secretary from 1941 to 1945 and her experiences, from the first day of inevitable blunders to the wartime meetings in Canada, the United States, Moscow, Yalta and Casablanca to which she accompanied him, are told with a modest restraint."-The Times Literary Supplement "She was by his side when Germany attacked Russia; when Pearl Harbour, the fall of Tobruk and Arnhem occurred. But somehow the distant roar of guns is dimmed by the sweat of being Mr Churchill's secretary."-Daily Express "It is a personal book, but one that shows the great admiration Churchill was able to inspire in those who worked with him."-New York Herald TribuneYou can read this item using any of the following Kobo apps and devices:

Rick Ankiel Rumors
Rick Ankiel To Retire
One of the most fascinating ballplayers of his generation, Rick Ankiel, has officially retired, Cardinals broadcaster Dan McLaughlin announced on the air today (story via MLB.com's AJ Cassavell). Ankiel is hoping to stay in the game by catching on in a front office.
Ankiel is a 34-year-old, power-hitting, free-agent outfielder who was cut loose by two different clubs last year. That seemed an unlikely ending when he cracked the league at age 19 as a big-armed pitcher, announcing himself with a 3.27 ERA in 33 innings for the Cardinals. He followed that up with an outstanding rookie year, throwing 175 innings of 3.50 ERA ball, notching 10.0 K/9 against 4.6 BB/9.
Then, of course, came Ankiel's sudden and stunning meltdown on the mound during the 2000 postseason. He never recovered to regain his former promise, and seemed destined to fade into obscurity.
Things took a second, almost equally startling turn when Ankiel re-emerged as an outfielder. Returning to the bigs in August of 2007, Ankiel swatted a home run in his debut and never looked back. He ultimately logged 2,019 plate appearances, notching 74 home runs and compiling a .242/.304/.427 line. And, of course, he put his powerful arm to good use, unleashing a number of memorable throws that cut down baserunners looking to stretch an extra base.
Though he was reportedly still interested in playing as recently as February, Ankiel had not received any interest at that point. He apparently decided to hang up his spikes now, rather than waiting for another opportunity.
After his time in St. Louis, Ankiel roamed the outfield for several clubs, starting with the Royals and Braves. He played for two seasons with the Nationals before finishing his career in 2013 with the Astros and Mets. Ankiel's overall stat line does not stand out, at least until one notices that it encapsulates two separate careers. Ultimately, his remarkable story, hard-nosed play, and incredible arm ensure that he'll long be remembered as a ballplayer.
Free Agent Notes: Arroyo, Madson, Santana, Lyon, Ankiel
Here's the latest on free agent situations around the league:
- Bronson Arroyo's decision came down to the Diamondbacks and the Orioles, ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick tweets, with Arroyo's preference to stay in the National League playing a role in his decision to sign with Arizona. Baltimore's best offer was "competitive" with the two-year, $23.5MM guarantee that Arroyo landed, tweets Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun.
- Reliever Ryan Madson hit 93 mph on the radar gun during an audition today in front of 15 clubs, reports Crasnick (via Twitter). Multiple teams have expressed interest in the one-time relief ace, who is working back after missing each of the last two seasons due to elbow issues. Madson's former club, the Phillies, are one of the teams that planned to watch Madson, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reported earlier today.
- Another rehabbing pitcher, former ace Johan Santana, tweeted today that he started throwing off of a mound this week. Last we heard, Twins GM Terry Ryan suggested that Santana probably would not be ready to throw competitive pitches until the summer.
- Multiple teams have shown interest in free agent reliever Brandon Lyon, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. The 34-year-old threw 34 1/3 innings of 4.98 ERA ball for the Mets last year, but advanced metrics (3.98 FIP, 4.48 xFIP, 4.38 SIERA) put a somewhat more positive spin on things.
- Free agent outfielder Rick Ankiel told SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio (hat tip to Cotillo, on Twitter) that he is still open to playing. But having yet to hear from clubs with interest, Ankiel says he is "in a holding pattern."

Rick Ankiel Elects Free Agency
Outfielder Rick Ankiel has elected free agency from the Mets, according to the MLB.com transactions page. The Mets designated the 33-year-old for assignment on Saturday to clear roster space for fellow outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
Ankiel was hitting .194/.254/.387 for the Mets but wasn't used a whole lot in the last week of his tenure in Nw York. The converted pitcher has hit .241/.302/.423 in 2,111 plate appearances for the Cardinals, Royals, Braves, Nationals, Astros, and Mets.
Mets To Designate Rick Ankiel For Assignment
The Mets will designate outfielder Rick Ankiel for assignment before the team's Sunday game, David Lennon of Newsday reports (on Twitter). The move will clear roster space for fellow outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who is hitting .232/.339/.486 with ten home runs for Triple-A Las Vegas.
Ankiel, 33, is hitting .194/.254/.387 for the Mets, who have used him sparingly in the past week. New York signed him after the Astros released him last month. Ankiel has hit .241/.302/.423 in 2,111 plate appearances in a strange, winding career with the Cardinals, Royals, Braves and Nationals in addition to the Astros and Mets.
Mets To Sign Rick Ankiel
The Mets have agreed to sign free agent outfielder Rick Ankiel, according to ESPN New York's Adam Rubin (on Twitter). Ankiel, who is represented by the Boras Corporation, will receive a Major League contract, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link). According to Rubin, Ankiel is in the Mets' starting lineup tonight and will play center field, while Andrew Brown has been optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 25-man roster (Twitter links). Right-hander Jenrry Mejia has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list to clear a 40-man roster spot for Ankiel.
The 33-year-old Ankiel was released by the Astros last week — a move which Carlos Pena said "crushed" the team's clubhouse. The veteran pitcher-turned-outfielder was the personification of an "all or nothing" approach this season, as he hit just .194/.231/.484 with five homers and 35 strikeouts in just 65 plate appearances for Houston.
Ankiel is a career .243/.304/.424 hitter in 2044 plate appearances between the Cardinals, Nationals, Royals, Braves and Astros. Mets outfielders this season are hitting just .223/.302/.392 as a whole. Their .694 OPS ranks 25th in baseball, and collectively they've been exactly a replacement level unit, per Fangraphs (0.0 WAR).
Heyman was also the first to report that the two sides were discussing a deal.

Mets Interested In Rick Ankiel
The Mets are discussing a possible deal with free agent outfielder Rick Ankiel, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. It isn't known at this time if there are other teams in the mix, according to Heyman.

Astros Release Rick Ankiel
The Astros released outfielder Rick Ankiel, tweets Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle. The team had designated him for assignment Monday.
Ankiel, 33, had an all-or-nothing approach this year that led to five home runs and 35 strikeouts in 65 plate appearances. A former second-round pick of the Cardinals, Ankiel finished second in the 2000 Rookie of the Year voting as a pitcher but later reinvented himself as a slugging outfielder in 2007. A left-handed hitter, he has a career slugging percentage of .445 against righties.
We're still awaiting word on outfielder Fernando Martinez, who was designated by the Astros at the same time as Ankiel.
AL West Notes: Rangers, Lohse, Ankiel, Norberto
The Rangers took plenty of flak this offseason for missing out on all of their big targets — namely Zack Greinke and Justin Upton. However, USA Today's Bob Nightengale notes that the team is currently tied for the best record in the American League and also has the AL's best pitching staff despite a host of injuries. Nightengale tells pitching coach Mike Maddux to "take a bow" and praises the organization's recent emphasis on pitching. Here's more from the AL West…
- A deal between the Rangers and another heavily rumored target — Kyle Lohse — was never particularly close, GM Jon Daniels tells Sahadev Sharma of ESPN Dallas. Daniels said the Rangers were very interested in seeing if MLB would allow a one-time sign-and-trade exception for Lohse in order to keep their draft pick, but the situation never reached that point because agent Scott Boras found a market for Lohse. The Rangers never made Lohse an offer.
- The decision to designate Rick Ankiel for assignment "crushed" the Astros' clubhouse, Carlos Pena told Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle. Pena says that every player on the team loved Ankiel, a testament that Brandon Barnes echoed to Smith. Smith notes that Pena is now alone in his role as elder statesman of a young, inexperienced team.
- Jordan Norberto told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that he understands why he was released by the Athletics earlier today. He knows the A's are in a tough spot due to injuries and a full roster, but said he loves the organization and fans and would like to re-sign there. Slusser cautions that there will be plenty of interest in Norberto from other teams, and she even adds that she's already been contacted by an AL scout asking how Norberto's rehab is progressing. Norberto has begun throwing after being shut down for a month.

Luhnow Discusses Astros' Moves
With an 8-24 record so far this season, the Astros have played down to the incredibly low expectations of most preseason prognosticators, matching the 120-loss pace of the 1962 Mets. They made a series of moves yesterday, designating outfielders Rick Ankiel and Fernando Martinez for assignment and calling up Trevor Crowe and Jimmy Paredes. The latest on the team:
- "The reality is the team is not where we wanted to be at this point and we feel like outfield is one of our weakest positions, and we wanted to give some guys who are having some success at Triple-A a chance to continue that up here," GM Jeff Luhnow told reporters including MLB.com's Brian McTaggart yesterday.
- The 2010 Diamondbacks own the team strikeout record with 1,529, but the Astros are on pace for 1,635 this year. Curbing whiffs is one reason for the team's recent moves, as Luhnow explained, "The profile of our team being a feast-or-famine type team, we felt we needed different types of players, and with Robbie Grossman there now and Paredes coming, hopefully the numbers in Triple-A are a reflection of the success [Paredes] can have up here. It will change the mix a little bit."
- Ankiel would probably be released if he refuses a minor league assignment, notes McTaggart.
- "We believe Humber is a Major League pitcher and can add value to our team. For now, no decision has been made about any different roles on the pitching side at this point," Luhnow said in regard to righty Philip Humber. The 30-year-old has a 7.03 ERA in 135 2/3 innings for the White Sox and Astros since the start of the 2012 season.
- With a collective 6.53 ERA, the Astros' rotation is the worst in baseball by almost a full run. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports wonders if the Astros could possibly make that rotation even worse by trading Bud Norris or Lucas Harrell. "Trading them in the middle of the season would only lead to further chaos," writes Rosenthal. So far Luhnow has been fearless in his teardown efforts; we'll see if the possibility of a 40-win type season would compel him to hang on to Norris or Harrell.
Astros Designate Rick Ankiel, Fernando Martinez For Assignment
The Astros announced that they have designated outfielders Rick Ankiel and Fernando Martinez for assignment via team press release. In related moves, Trevor Crowe and Jimmy Paredes have been called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City, J.D. Martinez has been activated from the disabled list and Brandon Laird has been optioned to Triple-A.
Ankiel, 33, hit .194/.231/.484 with five homers in 65 plate appearances for the Astros. He will forever hold the distinction of being the first Astro to homer following their shift to the American League. Since reviving his career as an outfielder in 2007, the former Cardinals pitcher has batted .244/.306/.430 in 1948 plate appearances.
Martinez, still just 24 years of age, was long hailed as one of the crown jewels of the Mets' farm system. It was considered a coup for the Mets when they were able to acquire Johan Santana from the Twins without including him in the package, but his star has faded since that time. After being cut loose from the Mets' 40-man roster, the Astros claimed him on waivers in January 2012. Martinez has hit just .206/.269/.362 in 310 big league plate appearances, though he does hold a respectable .279/.337/.474 batting line in 1119 career plate appearances at Triple-A.

Letter: About the airport
Penny Taylor, Naples
Candidate, Naples City Council
About the airport
Naples Municipal Airport is an essential part of our community. It is an economic engine that we cannot do without. Mosquito Control, Naples Civil Air Patrol, MedFlight and the Sheriff's Department all have used or are using the airport. The Winter Wine Festival's gateway to Naples is through the airport and the millions and millions of dollars that this festival has given to disadvantaged children in Collier County is the stuff that dreams are made of.
I support the current structure of the relationship between the airport and the city — an independent airport authority whose board members are appointed by City Council. The airport is nestled in the city and this relationship, like all close relationships, has its ups and downs. However, the airport is exceptionally well-run and has become a necessary part of the Naples experience.
Going forward, as a City Council member I would support more citizen participation in the airport, and whether it takes the shape of a citizen's committee, as suggested at one of the candidate forums, remains to be seen. As the issues arise, I will do my research and make decisions based on what is presented.
Naples Municipal Airport is the best little airport in the country and we need to keep it part of Naples.

A Fast-Moving and Evolving Space
Better Protein Quantification Can Produce More...
Making Molecular Analysis Count in Diagnostics,...
Findings from the National Faculty Study
(Page 1 of 1)
Aeterna Zentaris is tapping Roche's Ventana Medical Systems business to develop a companion diagnostic for use alongside its own doxorubicin LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone)-targeted conjugate compound, AEZS-108 (zoptarelin doxorubicin). The Phase II-stage candidate specifically targets LHRH receptors and could be most effective in treating patients with LHRH receptor-positive cancers.
The Ventana-develoepd diagnostic will allow evaluation of LHRH receptor expression in patients with cancers including endometrial, ovarian, breast, bladder, prostate and pancreas as an aid to selecting patients most likely to benefit from AEZS-108 therapy.
"AEZS-108 is a promising anticancer compound as demonstrated by the postivie final Phase II results in LHRH-receptor expression endometrial and ovarian cancer," comments Juergen Engel, Ph.D., Aeterna Zentaris president and CEO. "The Ventana companion diagnostic tool will allow us to develop improved methods for the selection of patients to be treated with AEZS-108, in order to enhance the efficiency of our clinical trials and help us with the future successful development of AEZS-108 in a number of different LHRH-expression cancers."
AEZS-108 is a targeted cytotoxic peptide conjugate comprising a synthetic peptide carrier linked to the cytotoxic agent doxorubicin. The drug has been designed so that it specifically binds to and is selectively taken up by LHRH receptor-positive tumors. Aeterna Zentaris claims the drug is the first in clinical development to target the cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin specifically to LHRH-receptor expressing tumors.

Outcry When BBC's 'Gardeners Questions' Handle A 'Black Man's Willy'
For those who have never heard BBC Radio Four's Gardeners Questions, it's the closest thing you can come to a favorite comfy chair and a mug of coco on the radio in the predominantly white middle class homes of the UK.
A panel of gardening experts answer questions phoned or written to them...
A listener phoned in to ask about the Rhodochiton Volubilis, otherwise known as a BMW, Black Man's Willy.
If you are easily offended it's probably best to click away now.
The problem seems to be that the panel tried to make light of the question... and made a number of comments laden with innuendo...
According to a report we saw on the Daily Mail website, a gardening author said he had "only ever seen one close up - and not that colour".
According to the same newspaper, a female horticulturist followed up with: "I've never seen one in my life. They don't really like the cold, as you can imagine. They shrivel up and look very unhappy."
There was hilarity all round, but the BBC received a number of complaints and have now ruled that the comments should never have been broadcast as they were potentially racially offensive.

text: Major newspapers team up for online ad effort February 15, 2008 9:52 AM Anthony Ha Four major U.S. newspaper companies are teaming up to form quadrantONE, an effort to woo large online advertisers, the New York Times reports. The Tribune Company, the Gannett Company, the Hearst Corporation and the New York Times Company will all be transferring a portion of their online ad space to quadrantONE, which will employ 17 staffers in Chicago. The partnership should give advertisers a single entity to deal with when they want to place ads with local newspapers like Tribune's Los Angeles Times, Gannett's Des Moines Register, Hearst's Houston Chronicle and the New York Times' Boston Globe. The partnership is limited to "local" papers, so it excludes national and international publications like USA Today, the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times itself. It's a tough time for the newspaper industry, with online growth contributing to virtually universal declines in circulation and ad revenue, which in turn lead to layoffs and shrinking newsrooms. (The New York Times, one of the last papers to hold off on cuts, announced yesterday that it will be eliminating 100 news jobs.) As more readers flock to their Web sites, newspapers have struggled to find new business models. And while it's not clear if quadrantONE will take off, it's encouraging to see the companies evolve. The New York Times also notes that Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and others are approaching newspaper companies to sell premium ads on their sites, but Hearst digital media vice president Lincoln Millstein says, "We want to control our own destiny." On the other hand, Forrester Research analyst Shar VanBoskirk says newspapers need to partner with technology companies, not other newspapers.

Apple announces 25 billion songs sold on iTunes
Apple today issued an unexpected press release announcing that more than 25 billion songs have now been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Store, setting a new record. In the press release, Apple SVP Eddy Cue thanked users for making iTunes the most popular music retailer in the world, and noted that the iTunes Store averages over 15,000 songs downloaded every minute.
The 25 billionth song was "Monkey Drums" (Goksel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch and was purchased by Phillip Lüpke from Germany, who will receive a €10,000 iTunes Gift Card for the download. Apple previously publicized major music download milestones with public countdown contests, however, this milestone was reached without advance publicity or the promise of a prize. The last major music milestone to feature a prize was the 10 billion downloaded song mark, reached in late February 2010 and awarded a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card. Apple has recently focused more attention on app downloads, which have accelerated far faster than music downloads, hitting 25 billion in March 2012, then 40 billion less than a year later.

Can Washington Replicate FAA Fix?
The Pecksniffs of America had nothing but scorn for Congress' vote last week to stop furloughs of air traffic controllers, which were ostensibly mandated under the 2011 Budget Control Act.
Congress failed to act to stop cuts to Head Start and Meals On Wheels, critics sneered, but did stop the Federal Aviation Administration cuts largely because they hit lawmakers where they live — on the planes that fly them to and from their home districts. Nonsense. Congress did what it was supposed to do. Capitol Hill responded to the flying public's righteous anger. There was a fear factor: If a plane crashed, voters would blame Washington.
Republicans found unused money in the transportation budget. So after Democrats protested and the White House promised to veto any sequester modifications, they fell in line behind an FAA fix; it passed with bipartisan support and was punctuated with a presidential signature.
"Congress is capable of doing that everywhere if the lawmakers really want to," budget fellow Patrick Knudsen of the right-leaning Heritage Foundation opined.
It turns out that the Obama White House had miscalculated. It had become increasingly clear that the White House was using the FAA cuts to gin up voter outrage against the sequester cuts. And that wasn't going to fly.
Republicans took care of their constituents — businesspeople. The real question is: Why haven't Democrats done the same thing if they believe that cuts to Head Start and Meals On Wheels are equally untenable?
Instead, Democrats have supported what, to them, are excruciating cuts because they find the notion of trimming 2.5 percent from a $3.8 trillion budget to be unthinkable. It's their Rubicon. They'd rather cut muscle than fat — that is, they'd rather cut welfare programs than find pork to cut in a still-growing federal budget pot.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, tells me that unlike transportation, welfare budgets are so tight that there's no fat left to trim. He adds that some Republicans have issues with a Senate bill that would cede the authority to make cuts to the president. But that's not the Democrats' problem.
Liberal Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein thinks Democrats should bend. The Dems tried to kill the sequestration by making its cuts stupid and across-the-board. But the sequestration still lives. If sequestration is permanent, Klein wrote, "they might as well make it a bit less painful."
Budget guru Steve Bell of the Bipartisan Policy Center used to think that Washington would cave on the sequestration by June because the cuts would be too painful. The former Hill staffer now thinks that won't happen. Except for the FAA cuts, there is little public protest, not even from the defense sector or the welfare lobby.
Bell told me, "I'm not sure there's much else that has the immediate impact on people's daily lives as air travel." And what does that tell you?

Illinois' Bold Bid to Reshape the Local Food Scene

I've become something of the go-to guy around Governing when it comes to food stories. I've written about street food carts, urban farm plots and the challenges governments face when they're trying to promote local food production and consumption.
But I missed this story out of Illinois, when the legislature this summer passed a law aimed at making it easier to find local food. From the Chicago Tribune :
The legislation establishes a council to develop a fresh farm and food system in the state, and it creates a system that allows buyers for state agencies to pay up to 10 percent above the lowest bid when purchasing locally grown foods. It also sets a goal for state-owned agencies to increase their purchase of locally grown foods each year so that 20 percent of their food purchase is spent on Illinois-grown foods by 2020.
Plenty of cities and states have set up "Buy Local" food councils, but Illinois' plan goes a lot further. Setting the 20 percent goal by 2020? Impressive. (I'll believe it when it happens, but an impressive goal nonetheless.)
The most progressive aspect of the bill, in my opinion, is the clause allowing agencies to pay 10 percent more for food that's grown locally. Right now, local food growers don't have the institutionalized economies of scale that larger producers do. So giving agencies the ability to pay a little more seems like it could go a long way toward really establishing a local-food system.
If you'll forgive a food pun, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit. Again, from the Trib:
Currently, an estimated 4 percent of the money Illinois residents spend on food each year is for products grown in the state, and just several hundred of the state's 76,000 farmers are producing for the local market, according to a task force report.
As Grist points out, that means that less than one percent of Illinois' farmers grow food to be eaten in Illinois (and I'm sure that would be true for most other states as well). You don't have to be a local-food advocate to think there's something a little wacky about that.

I recently read a "New York Times" article about Melbourne's underworld king of crime, Mark Brandon Read, a.k.a. Chopper, who's not sure how many people he's killed, whose liver is finally expiring, and who prizes his silver-plated dentures that at least partly account for his nickname. A kindergarten friend of our twins, who had a recent bout of dental work, seems to be sporting some new silver herself. But these days talk in our house revolves more around another kind of bling, namely "princess teeth."
"Are my princess teeth still in?" our 2-year-old asked me, parting her lips on her slightly buck baby whites when she clomped into our room at 6:12 the other morning. We had spent the previous afternoon at the dentist, Jane's first visit, which she apparently found delightful.
"Should we shine up your pretty princess teeth?" the dentist asked Jane as he tipped her back in his chair. She gave him a quizzical gaze, never having considered that her mouth might be regal. Little did Jane know that she actually descends from a sort of dental dynasty. I have been told on more than one occasion that I possess "deep grooves," which I've always accepted as the highest form of compliment. One of my husband's college monikers was "Chomp," the true origin of which I am reluctant to learn but which I interpret as relating to some kind of toothy virility.
"Who's your favorite princess?" the dentist asked Jane.
"Well, you're going to look just like her."
Jane found herself unable to resist the lure of induction into our heritage, of accepting her "princess teeth." She assented to treatment with a nod that nearly toppled the orange sunglasses the dentist had placed on her eyes to shield them from his light.
The dentist, however, was not nearly so deferential with me.
"She uses a pacifier?" he demanded.
"Sucks her fingers," I confessed.
"You're helping her brush?"
"Sometimes," I lied.
I suffered a withering look when I admitted I'd been depriving my three children of their fluoride pills. And then I declined X-rays for the twins, in part because I'm wary of gratuitous radiation and in part because we lack dental insurance.
"They don't have cavities that I can tell, but I can't be certain without X-rays," the dentist warned. "Are they flossing?"
"No," I sighed.
"You should help them start."
A wave of fatigue washed over me, as the dentist displayed the plaque he'd just retrieved from between my son's molars. Chastened, I tiptoed to the receptionist, who must have mistaken me for proper royalty because she billed my credit card $534 for the visit. My three children, like true commoners, bickered over cheap prizes from the treasure box. But back in the minivan, clutching her plastic giraffe, new toothbrush and paste, Jane managed to buoy my spirits.
"That was fun!" she cried. "I like my princess teeth! I just don't want to suck my fingers anymore because I have princess teeth."
She flashed me a royal grin. I smiled back at her in the rearview mirror and hoped that she would keep her resolution, since we really can't afford the orthodontist—much less anything with a silver glint.

CIO survey
Federal chief information officers remain focused on tightening the security of government information, but they are increasingly concerned about balancing security requirements with the public's right to information, according to a new survey.
The Information Technology Association of America released its 16th annual Federal CIO Survey last week. Titled "Ten Years After Clinger-Cohen: Looking Back, Looking Forward," the survey outlines successes and problems for government IT executives.
In the survey, CIOs said they had made headway in IT security and privacy, but oversight and the vast space to protect against sophisticated perpetrators are "almost an overwhelming requirement they have," said Paul Wohlleben, a partner at Grant Thornton's Global Public Sector and the survey's program manager.
CIOs are balancing information security and public access, and that brings high stress and significant budget problems, the survey states.
"The consensus seems to indicate that privacy needs to be elevated as an issue and was getting priority attention in only a few agencies where public concerns were driving the issue," the report states.
The Office of Management and Budget sees IT security as an important issue that all government sectors are wrestling with. The Bush administration's fiscal 2007 budget, submitted to Congress in February, boosts funding for IT security throughout the civilian departments by 4.4 percent compared with fiscal 2006 appropriations.
"The pendulum is starting to swing back toward privacy," said Alan Balutis, president and chief executive officer of government strategies at Input.
The 2001 terrorist attacks caused agencies to build barriers to information and beef up their security. But now CIOs are balancing their agencies' security needs with the responsibility to share information with the public. Some military and intelligence agencies must continue to block information leaks and tighten their security. Other agencies, such as the Commerce Department, have a core mission to share information.
Survey respondents also said that to improve system security, they would continue to develop their IT security programs, emphasizing risk and vulnerability assessments; monitoring, certifying and accrediting IT systems; and conducting Federal Information Security Management Act testing in a more coordinated effort with their agencies' executives.
In its March 1 FISMA report to Congress, OMB found that agencies made progress toward greater system security, despite uneven execution.
Besides IT security, CIOs listed enterprise architecture development, updates to IT infrastructure, portfolio management, and data strategy and information sharing as top accomplishments during the Bush administration.
