How Scientology controls John Travolta and Tom Cruise, according to 'Going Clear'Emily Yahr
HBO hired 160 lawyers when the network decided to air "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief," the two-hour documentary based on Lawrence Wright's book. This makes sense when you watch the film, directed by Alex Gibney, which aired Sunday night. Ex-Church of Scientology members and officials reveal secrets of the organization, and tell horror stories of psychological and physical abuse during their time in the controversial religion — and after they escaped. (For the record, the church unleashed a series of attack ads against the film and says that it's "bigoted propaganda" and " built on falsehoods invented by admitted liars.")Read full article >>

Thus witnesses were sweltering and wiping their brows as they testified about global warming."Read full article >>

Md. Gov. Hogan signs his first bill, honoring Vietnam War veteransThe Associated Press Il y a 21 minutes
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Vietnam veterans are getting some long-delayed appreciation in Maryland. Republican Gov. Larry Hogan signed a bill Monday making March 30 "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day." The bill was introduced by Democratic senator and Vietnam veteran John Astle of Anne Arundel County. Del. C.T. Wilson sponsored a similar bill in the House. It passed both houses of the General Assembly as an emergency bill this session. Supporters call it long-overdue recognition for those who served in the war in Southeast Asia in the 1960s and '70s. The war was unpopular at home, and many returning veterans felt shunned by their countrymen. Retired Army Col. Bert Rice of Odenton served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He says the measure makes important recognition of the contributions soldiers made in Vietnam.

As clock ticks, concerns about unintended side effects of possible Iran nuke dealKristine Frazao
WASHINGTON (Sinclair) - The clock is ticking. As the world waits to see if a deal emerges from the historic talks with Iran, questions are emerging about what will happen next. Results of a nuclear deal with Iran would be largely based on what's actually agreed upon, but critics are already concerned of short and long-term unintended consequences. Alan Dershowitz, Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, is an outspoken critic of these negotiations. "I think it's inevitable that this is going to push us closer to war. First of all Israel is not going to accept this deal - this deal endangers its very existence," Dershowitz said. The Obama administration for months has been arguing the opposite - that a deal will prevent war. The U.S. and other allied nations are additionally pushing for this because it will give them the ability to observe nuclear activity within the country. Secretary of State John Kerry reiterated last week the current deal being negotiated is far better than no deal at all. "Iran would have the ability to go right back spinning its centrifuges and enriching to the degree they want, if they want," Sec. Kerry said in Washington before he left. Critics of a deal argue it could permanently change things on a global scale in a way you couldn't see, at least right away, like making the final agreement the gold standard for nuclear programs in the region and beyond. "Whoever wants nuclear energy in the middle east and elsewhere in the world will come to the international community and say why can't i get what you conceded to Iran," said Emanuele Ottolenghi, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Ottolenghi has been studying Iran for years and argued America's standing in the region may take a hit as well. "You already see signs of U.S. allies in the region openly challenging America's judgment and wisdom and taking their own actions without consulting Washington," Ottolenghi said. Saudi Arabia's action in Yemen without coordinating with President Obama could be a first sign of things to come.

D.C. mom admits to torturing son with cerebral palsy
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- A southeast D.C. mother admitted in court Monday that she tortured her 9-year-old son who has cerebral palsy. Betty Threatt, 27, wiped away tears as she pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to aggravated assault on a child, first-degree cruelty to children while armed and first-degree cruelty to children. Prosecutors said that Threatt and her ex-boyfriend, 52-year-old Lester Jackson, kept the boy out of school and "beat him, locked him in a room and had bound his arms and legs with duct tape." Police who investigated the case said Threatt told them she kept the boy locked up because she was ashamed of him. Threatt, who pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors, will be sentenced in June. Jackson, who rejected a plea deal, is slated to go on trial in July.
California woman brutally beaten with skateboard in attack caught on cameraCNN
LOS ANGELES (CNN) - A California woman has a cracked skull and a broken jaw after a group of men attacked her near a skate park. Cell phone video shows one man beating her with a skateboard, and another kicking and punching her after she fell to the ground. The young woman is seen fighting off her attackers before one of them slammed her in the head with a skateboard. She fell to the ground and begins to wail. Witnesses said they felt too scared and outnumbered to help. One man held the woman up while another rushed in to punch her. The attacker continued to kick and punch her while she was on the ground. A friend of the woman who shot the cell phone video and gave it to police said it stated about 9 p.m. Sunday at the Venice Beach Skate park after the victim got into a verbal fight with several men. The young woman walked away, but the men followed her and that's when police said the incident turned violent. Police said that two other men were injured in the brawl, but but the woman took the worst beating and required surgery for a cracked skull and a broken jaw. Police have no motive for the attack and no arrests have been made.
National Zoo increases security after Spring violence in recent yearsSam Ford
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- New security measures took effect Monday at the National Zoo stemming from past incidents of Spring violence. Officials said zoo visitors are now subjected to bag checks, in addition to other increased security steps - the specifics of which were not being disclosed. Spring has been a violent time around the zoo in recent years. Last year, two people were shot on the sidewalk in front of the zoo on Easter Monday; the prior year someone was stabbed.
Consumer Alert: Woman loses hundreds in Facebook grant scamJohn Matarese
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Scripps) -- If money is tight, there is nothing like the lure of a government grant, that promises to make your money troubles disappear. And if a close relative says they received some grant money, you'll trust what they are saying, and may want to jump on board. But one woman who did that got burned badly. Danci Jordan of Cincinnati logged onto Facebook on her phone the other day, and thought her prayers had been answered. One of her aunts said that she had just received a government grant, and told Jordan that she was eligible for the same grant too. "She said she received $300,000, and she said I saw your name on the list too. I thought, that's a lot of money, so I wanted to learn more," she said. Jordan's aunt told her it was intended for people on SSI disability, like her. "It was helping the blind, deaf, disabled," she said. So Jordan thought about it: her aunt had received money, she was also on the list to receive it, and it was intended for people in her situation. Everything checked out. So she texted the government agent handling the grant. He responded by telling her to wire a $300 processing fee to a number in Texas to receive her check. You guessed the rest. "I sent the money, and then found out it was a scam," Jordan said. She is now out $300. The government agent? He was a scammer, of course. Jordan's aunt who received a grant? Turns out her Facebook page had been hijacked by the same scammer, possibly by falling for a "phishing" scam, divulging her Facebook password. He then sent a message to all her contacts, hoping someone would believe it really was the woman. We called the so called "agent's" number several times, hoping to speak with him, but all we got was a full voice mailbox. Jordan's friend Sandee Cleppinger received the same Facebook post from the aunt's hijacked Facebook page. "It's wrong to take advantage of people like that, cause people are struggling as is, and to take advantage of people like that is ridiculous and disgusting." Cleppinger says it's horrible the way scammers prey on people like Jordan, who borrowed the $300 she sent, because she had no money to begin with. Bottom line: The government will never call, email, or text you about free grant money. Grants are very hard to get, and require a lengthy application process. And if a friend of relative tells you on Facebook that they won a sweepstakes or received a grant, call that friend and speak with them personally. There's a good chance a scammer took over their page.

14-year-old girl injured in D.C. apartment shootingABC 7 News, Richard Reeve
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A 14-year-old girl was injured during a shooting in Southwest D.C. Friday evening. The girl was shot while sitting on a front stoop with her family at the P Street Apartments. When officers arrived, they found the girl wounded in the leg. She was transported to Children's Hospital. The girl's identity has not been released, and it's unknown whether the girl is recovering at the hospital or at home. Metropolitan Police officers arrived Saturday night to set up emergency safety lights around P and 1st Streets as they continue to investigate this case. Several MPD cruisers set up watchposts on opposite ends of the block. Police believe a lone gunman was shooting at multiple targets. It's unclear who the gunman was firing at and why. Bullets shattered or broke several nearby windows in the neighborhood. Police so far have released little information on this case, except that they are searching for a white-colored car.

Nephew charged with threatening to kill his uncle, a Montgomery County judge, and torch his homeKevin Lewis
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (WJLA) - A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge's life threatened, his adult nephew is now behind bars. Police say Hugo Albornoz, 35, of Chevy Chase, divulged murderous plans that included slicing Judge David Boynton's throat, shooting Boynton in the head, plus torching the county justice's million-dollar Bethesda home. "Initial indications are there was some sort of blame being placed on the judge for [Albornoz's] particular circumstances," Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office spokesman Ramon Korionoff said. On January 2, and then again on March 10, Albornoz allegedly told his father about the violent measures he wanted to take against his unsuspecting uncle. Following the second telling in March, Albornoz's father called the Montgomery County Crisis Center. Police were dispatched to the Albornoz residence where they handcuffed the 35-year-old and took him to Suburban Hospital for a mental evaluation. Prosecutors later charged Albornoz with two counts of Threatening to Injure a State Official. "If you look across the county, from Illinois and Michigan and other places, there have been judges that have been attacked, that have been seriously injured or killed even," Korionoff remarked. For instance, in April 2014, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge Audrey Creighton was kidnapped by her estranged lover, Rickley Senning, 25, formerly of Gaithersburg. Creighton, who said she feared for her life, escaped from Senning's grip outside a Darnestown Harris Teeter grocery store. Senning was later sentenced to three years in prison. "As far as making sure that the courthouse and members of the bench are protected, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department does a tremendous job, and they'll continue to monitor the situation," Korionoff concluded. Despite much speculation, police have not revealed why Albornoz allegedly schemed to kill his own uncle, judge Boynton. Albornoz does have a criminal record for offenses like assault, harassment and drug distribution. In fact, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge John Debelius III sentenced Albornoz in March 2014, to three years of probation in an assault case. His most recent arrest violates the terms of his probation. If he's found guilty of threatening to kill Judge Boynton, Albornoz could spend up to six years in prison. His next court date is April 27, in Montgomery County District Court.

The Alfred voice-over is back this week, this time over what looks to be a permanent show opener that quickly sums up the origin of the Birds of Prey, with Batman doing the Batnasty with Catwoman and producing Helena, and Joker killing Catwoman and putting Batgirl in a wheelchair. I suspect this intro might be used all season, á la Alias, in another chapter of network television's continuing refusal to give viewers credit for having any brains. The voice-over refers to Huntress as being "half-metahuman," which I guess is the Catwoman half, but it strikes me as odd since you'd think being a metahuman was an absolute thing; either you are or you aren't. I mean, it's not like the fact that Batman was a guy makes Helena only half-woman or anything. We're reintroduced to Barbara, who was once Batman's protégé until The Worst Pizza Delivery Guy Ever shot her. Now she's a "master of the cyber-realms," whatever that means, and mentors young heroes. "Together they have taken in a young runaway" -- a run run run run runaway -- "named Dinah, a metahuman herself with powers to open hidden doors to the mind, powers that she is only beginning to explore." Meaning: Powers that we're only beginning to make up. "Together, these three are the protectors of New Gotham: the Birds of Prey. My name is Alfred Pennyworth, and this is their story."
Dr. Melfi's office. I mean, Harleen Quinzel's office. Quinzel and Helena sit across from each other. Subtext detectives, take note: The characters in this scene are both women, so obviously we shouldn't listen to what they say, since this scene is really about how badly they want to have sex with each other.
"It's hard for me to come here," says Helena. Translation: "Let's have sex." Quinzel says: "Why is that, Helena?" Translation: "Yeah, totally." Anyway, you get the idea. HoYay devotees, I'm only poking fun. Helena says it's hard for her to trust people. Instead of offering any useful insight or advice, Quinzel just says that Helena's lucky, since this is her last court-mandated session. Helena sarcastically says she must be cured, then. Quinzel leans forward, cocks an eyebrow --
Sars: Okay, Danny, she cocks her eyebrow a lot. We get it.
Daniel: I know, but I don't have a running joke yet. I need a running gag. Or a catchphrase. You have any ideas?
Sars: Your first Birds of Prey recap had more cock in it than most Oz recaps.

Air Conditioning and the human temperament Air conditioning is the great equalizer of seasons and climates.
Air Conditioning and the human temperament Air conditioning is the great equalizer of seasons and climates. The soother of spouses, bosses and employees, shoppers, diners and all of us. As anyone who has endured a summer climate anywhere will tell you, air conditioning can soothe the Sweaty Breast (or beast, as may be applicable). However, some folks remain in denial, or at least put up the front that air conditioning is non-essential. Like my dear father… As a resident of the Northeast, I visit my parents in South Florida frequently. While their new house had a terrific 13 ton, 14 SEER air conditioning unit, Mom & Dad were apparently saving it for a very rainy day, as the thermostat was set at a relatively impotent 79 degrees. I would alternately redirect my dad's attention while my wife or daughter seized the opportunity of such diversion to flick it down to a reasonable 70 or 72. Invariably, my father would change the ambient temperature back without saying a word. And he didn't have to hide it, this being HIS home and his A/C system. On one weekend visit, the guest room was a balmy 80 degrees, with near total humidity. The walls were sticky to the touch, as was my clammy skin. I crept into the hallway to tweak the giver of cool air as my parents slept, then scurried back to bed. All too soon, the cycle was repeated; I would awake in a ball of sweat, stumble blurry-eyed into the hall only to find the dreaded OFF setting. This scenario would repeat itself well into the wee hours, until my elderly father and I were at last in synchronicity, if not harmony; encountering each other in the struggle for dehumidified air vs. a compressor held in obeisance. (Eye to eye) "Dad, it's Jumanji in here!" to which my father, his own brow adroitly wiped countered, "I was comfortable, you're freezing me out of my own home." "Really Dad, is that why you served dinner wearing only a mesh thong?" I offered to close the vents in the Master bedroom, to no avail… "Dammit, I want everyone as hot and uncomfortable as me!" came the retort. How could anyone counter such logic? Perhaps it was a money vs. comfort proposition. Dad had endured the Great Depression, even as I was sinking into my own. In the final analysis, is the preference for low indoor humidity and temperature more than 20 degrees below body heat a function of age or socioeconomic station? What about cultural influences? I have a friend from the Caribbean, who never use A/C. He swears that he is comfortable as the banana plants which adorn the living room. The choice between kilowatts and oblivion are yours to decide. All I can tell you is I won't be riding in Claude's cab anytime soon. Survey Air can help you with all of your air conditioning needs, for more information check out their website: http://www.surreyairheatingandcooling.com.au/about-us/ http://www.surreyairheatingandcooling.com.au/testimonials/

Baroness Thatcher died today at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke.
Margaret Thatcher, who was known as the Iron Lady when she redefined Britain over 11 years as Conservative prime minister, was said to have passed away "peacefully".
Tributes poured in to a woman whose extraordinary leadership was as controversial as it was tumultuous.
Supporters celebrated her triumphs such as winning the Falklands War, privatising loss-making state industries and beating the once-powerful trade unions, including Arthur Scargill's once-mighty National Union of Mineworkers.
Critics recalled that her free enterprise policies led to mass unemployment which scarred much of the country including the North, Wales and Scotland.
Lady Thatcher, Britain's first and so far only woman prime minister, won three thumping election victories in 1979, 1983 and 1987 — only to be cast aside by a panicky Tory Party when her fortunes faded. But friends and enemies united this afternoon to hail her record as one of the strongest and most inspiring political leaders in British history.
David Cameron, who joined the Conservatives under her rule, said: "It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Lady Thatcher. We have lost a great leader, a great Prime Minister and a great Briton."
Flags on the roof of Downing Street were lowered to half mast today and Mr Cameron cut short a trip to Europe as the news emerged.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen was sad to hear of her death and had sent a private message of sympathy to the family.
Former Cabinet colleague Lord Hurd said: "We will live to understand how strongly we are in her debt. She persevered. She had her own ideas and she saw them through. "
Her death was announced by former PR man Lord Bell who said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning. A further statement will be made later."
Former Conservative prime minister Sir John Major described Baroness Thatcher as a "true force of nature" and a "political phenomenon".
He said: "In government, the UK was turned around under - and in large measure because of - her leadership.
"Her reforms of the economy, trades union law, and her recovery of the Falkland Islands elevated her above normal politics, and may not have been achieved under any other leader.
"Her outstanding characteristics will always be remembered by those who worked closely with her: courage and determination in politics, and humanity and generosity of spirit in private."
US President Barack Obama said today the "world has lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true friend."
In a statement, he said: "As a grocer's daughter who rose to become Britain's first female prime minister, she stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can't be shattered.
"As Prime Minister, she helped restore the confidence and pride that has always been the hallmark of Britain at its best.
"And as an unapologetic supporter of our transatlantic alliance, she knew that with strength and resolve we could win the Cold War and extend freedom's promise."

Born in 1925, the grocer's daughter from Grantham in Lincolnshire, always claimed she learned the values of hard work from her middle class father, Alfred Roberts. Their family lived in a flat over the shop.
After grammar school and Oxford, she became a research chemist and then a barrister before becoming MP for Finchley in 1959. As education secretary from 1970 to 1974, she earned her first nickname — "Margaret Thatcher, Milk Snatcher" — after abolishing free school milk to save money. "I learned a valuable lesson. I had incurred the maximum of political odium for the minimum of political benefit," she admitted later.
In 1975 she beat Edward Heath to the Tory leadership, starting one of the longest grudges in history. It took the 1979 "Winter Of Discontent" to propel her in to Downing Street with a mandate to cut the subsidies keeping British state industry afloat.
Keith Simpson MP, who served as a special adviser in her government, said: "Many of us in politics dribble along in the slow lane, but she was always in the fast lane. She was remarkable because as a woman she had a long fight to get selected and then elected. She managed to combine being a very good constituency MP, and later a minister and prime minister, with bringing up a family.
"She was someone with courage and determination and was not prepared to accept the status quo. She was divisive because she often was not prepared to compromise. There will be those that cannot say a good word about her, but as far as I'm concerned she made an enormous difference to the UK." Boris Johnson said: "Her memory will live long after the world has forgotten the grey suits of today's politics."
Damian Green, minister for police, tweeted: "RIP Margaret Thatcher. A great PM, as history already shows." Tory MP David Davis said: "Margaret Thatcher was the greatest of modern British prime ministers, and was central to the huge transformation of the whole world that took place after the fall of the Soviet Union.
"Millions of people in Britain and around the world owe her a debt of gratitude for their freedom and their quality of life, which was made possible by her courageous commitment to the principles of individual freedom and responsibility. Her passing is a very sad event and she will be greatly missed."
Iain Duncan Smith said: "Baroness Thatcher was the reason I came into politics. She bestrode the political world like a colossus". Nick Robinson, BBC political editor, said: "The dominant figure of post-war British politics is dead. Love her or loathe her, Margaret Thatcher shaped this country as few others did."
Shadow international development secretary Ivan Lewis said: "Hoping all Labour supporters will respond with dignity + respect to news of Baroness Thatcher's death. Our thoughts with her family + friends."

Which method do you use for calculating IBUs? I plan on doing full boils - is Tinseth the best for full 5-gal boils?
Thanks in advance,
It's been a while since I read up on the different algorithms, but I think Tinseth is generally accepted as the most accurate among homebrewers. That's the one I settled on after reading as much info as I could find.
I have heard peoplw say Tinseth was best for full boils too.
Of course they are all estimates, so it is most important to be consistent. Everyone's equipment and water will extract bitterness differently too. On Basic Brewing Radio they send out some beers to a chemistry lab and had the IBU analysis done. Tinseth and Rager were usually pretty close...averaging them usually got you closer.
Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaning toward Tinseth. Looking at his website, it looks like there is some good science behind the numbers.
By the way, Yuri - I admire your work - quite handy with the welding and metal work.
I use Tinseth. I now know what to expect when I make up a recipe, since I've been using the same scale.

What's it like to be Somali in Kenya
Twitter is abuzz and Somalis are trending in Kenya, not for reasons of their own, but rather impositions beyond their capacity. There is quite a lot of outrage from all corners that Kenyans venture, from the passionately human to the average reactionary comments in " full support" ("remove them") of the state. The police chief has dubbed this "operation sanitize" and the media as usual in Kenya has a penchant for rather crude and unconscionable fascist statements towards Somali, Somalia and everything Somali, Kenyan ethnicity notwithstanding. Chime in the police who have dubbed Somalis ATM machines.

#WhiteHistoryMonth: What Britain did in Kenya
The following is the full text of a letter written by David Larder to the Guardian newspaper last year, following the court settlement which saw the UK government pay out £2,670 to each of the 5,228 elderly Kenyans judged eligible for compensation for atrocities committed in the 1950s. The UK government still refuses to apologise for what it did in Kenya. That's one reason David Larder's letter is worth reading.
