Winning 11 games in each of his first two seasons as LSU's head coach didn't allow Les Miles to escape the shadow of former coach Nick Saban, who led the Tigers to a share of the national championship in 2003 before leaving for the Miami Dolphins after the 2004 season. No matter what Miles has done, critics have been quick to remind him that he has "done it with Saban's players." Even Saban refuses to give Miles any credit for what's happened at LSU the past two seasons. One day after LSU finished its 2006 season with a 41-14 Sugar Bowl win over Notre Dame, Saban said, "The players that you saw play last night for LSU were primarily players that were recruited when I was there." Now Saban's back in the SEC at West Division rival Alabama. Since Saban's hiring, Miles has done his part to fuel the rivalry, telling LSU boosters at a recruiting party that his team was "looking forward" to playing Florida and Auburn, "but we have a new rival in [expletive] Alabama!" Then, at a booster club meeting in Pensacola, Fla., in May, Miles said, "It's funny, my entire coaching career, I've never enjoyed the color red. Ohio State, Indiana. Shoot, when I was with the [Dallas] Cowboys, it was the Redskins. I just see it as another opportunity to go back to my roots and kick the crap out of another team in red."

How deep should defense cuts go?
Rep. Chris Gibson was in for an editorial board meeting with us on Tuesday and made news talking about the need to, as he put it, flatten our whole approach defense. By acting more like a republic and less like an empire, he said, the country could dramatically cut defense spending while maintaining a strong, […] [Read More]
Debt limit offers a chance to lead
Our opinion: As the nation nears its legal debt limit, America's leaders could do something truly great here, if they can forsake extremist rhetoric and rise above politics. The United States is on the verge of something potentially earth-shaking. The question is, will it shake the world for better or for worse? The worse option […] [Read More]
'Earmarks' are not a great spending evil
Pork barrel spending, otherwise known as "earmarks," are not going to be the death of the republic, and are probably an inevitable part of the democratic governing process, says Lee Drutman in Miller-McCune. [Read More]
Tea Party would have passed on Ike
Toby Barlow in The Huffington Post shows how far the Republican Party has come, or gone, depending on your perspective, since the days of Dwight Eisenhower. Barlow says Tea Partiers would reject Ike today for his high taxes on the rich and "big government" spending. [Read More]
More spending, less debt, what problem?
Americans are spending more money, paying down debt and acquiring less of it, says Daniel Gross in Slate. These are all good signs for the economy, and critics who see these indicators as bad for the economy are missing the forest for the trees, contends Gross. [Read More]
Federal spending not sustainable
We cannot continue on this budget course without serious consequences, says David Leonhardt in The New York Times. The notion that we have a choice between reducing services and raising taxes is a false one, Leonhardt argues. We will need to both cut programs and increase revenues, he says. [Read More]
We really need to change our habits
"Separate studies have shown that after a massive heart-attack, only one third of patients are able to change their lifestyle.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Engineers should explore the alternatives, says expert
The concept of power generation came from our ancient Panchabhutas, said V.R. Siddhartha Engineering College Professor P.V.R.L. Narasimham.
At a seminar organised by the Institute of Engineers India (Vijayawada Chapter) on the occasion of the Energy Conservation Day, he started his talk by quoting the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Different forms of energy are hidden in nature, he observed. Electrical engineers tap this and convert it into electrical form, he added.
"Energy is always first converted into electrical form because it can be transmitted long distances with high efficiency," said the Electric and Electronic Engineering Professor. Once the energy is converted and transmitted then it is converted again into useful form," he said.
The term energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce consumption of energy, said Mr. Narasimham. If the business and trade sectors conserve energy it will result in financial security, national security, environment protection etc.
Former Chairman of the IEI Vijayawada M.R.S. Prakasa Rao on this occasion stated that dependence on thermal, hydro and gas generated power was not practical.
There were mainly three things that come to one's mind when we think of energy and those were wind, water and coal, he said.
According to reports these natural resource will go extinct in the next 20 to 30 years, said Mr. Prakasa Rao. "We should try to save some of these for the future generations," he said. Engineers should work on alternatives to generate power, he added.
The increasing luxurious way of leading life was increasing consumption, opined the former Chairman. He advised everyone to use appliances with five star ratings which consume less energy. The IEI Vijayawada Secretary V. Mallikarjuna and students from various colleges attended the seminar.

* Up to 15 pct of China's iron ore mines stay shut
* Iron ore prices up more than 80 pct since Sept
* Steel mills look for more supply from abroad
By Manolo Serapio Jr and Ruby Lian
SINGAPORE/SHANGHAI, Jan 11 (Reuters) - China's harshest winter in nearly three decades has hit iron ore output and driven up prices just as demand from steel mills revives in a resurgent economy. Imports are at record levels.
Tighter domestic supply in the world's top steel producer could mean global iron ore prices will continue to rise - they are already up more than 80 percent since September - a boon to mining giants such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton after a slump in prices last year forced them to re-think their expansion plans.
Temperatures in China have plunged to their lowest in 28 years, with frozen coastal waters, cancelled flights and closed highways. Once a thaw arrives, however, prices will likely come under pressure as Chinese miners return to full production.
Up to 15 percent of China's iron ore mines, especially those located in the northern region where it has been coldest, remain shut, said Henry Liu, head of commodity research at Mirae Asset Securities in Hong Kong. Many small mines and processing plants closed last year after iron ore prices slid to 3-year lows and made China's more costly producers unprofitable.
When prices rallied last month, it was already too cold for them to resume production.
"They would want to return to production, but they can't because of the weather," Liu said. "We estimate 10-15 percent of these local mines are still closed because of the cold weather."
The harsh weather conditions have halved utilisation rates at private mines and processing plants in some areas, according to a survey by consultancy Mysteel published on Dec. 28.
China, the world's biggest iron ore producer, imported a record 70.94 million tonnes in December, nearly 2 million tonnes above the previous record. Imports will again be high this month if the weather remains cold, analysts said.
"If the domestic supply of iron ore in China remains constrained, iron ore import prices will stay at high levels," said Zhang Yong, an analyst with Mysteel.
The price rally could be further fuelled as a cyclone threatens Australia's Pilbara producing region and its export facility at Port Hedland. Australia is China's main iron ore supplier. On top of that, shipments from Brazil have been hit by rain.
China typically produced 120-130 million tonnes of low-grade iron ore each month last year, and imported around 60 million tonnes of high-grade material. Output traditionally falls in December-February. In January last year, it tumbled to around 72 million tonnes.
Utilisation rates of all surveyed mines in northeast China were at just 61 percent at end-December, according to Mysteel, lower than the national average of 68 percent.
The benchmark price for iron ore delivered to China has climbed 37 percent from early last month to $158.50 a tonne this week, and is up 83 percent since September.
The rise in iron ore prices from suppliers Australia and Brazil has prompted some Chinese steelmakers to buy cargoes from smaller exporters such as Malaysia and Indonesia to trim their costs, said one physical ore trader in Shanghai.
"For the same grade, cargoes from Malaysia and Indonesia are probably $10-$15 cheaper than those from Australia and Brazil, although the quality is not always reliable," he said.
Iran is another source of cheaper iron ore for China, although prices there have also surged given the brisk demand, said a Chinese trader who sells Iranian iron ore.
"Steel mills are always looking for cheaper non-mainstream iron ore sources, but the problem is there are no large quantities available and they're high on impurities, so may not really help mills lower their production costs," said an official who buys iron ore for a small steelmaker in eastern China.
"The only way out is for steel prices to rise, to transfer the soaring costs, but this isn't happening due to the weak winter consumption season."
China's steel prices, based on Shanghai rebar futures , have risen by around a quarter from September's lows - a much smaller increase than in the price of iron ore.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 861,077 filed Dec. 14, 1977 now abandoned.
This invention relates to improvements in heat fusing apparatus and more particularly to heat fusing apparatus in which a heated roll is brought into contact with an image formed of a resinous powder to heat the powder and fix the powder image to a sheet of paper.
Contact fusing apparatus is known in the prior art. However, contact fusing has the disadvantage that "offset" may occur. Offset is caused by part of the image sticking to the surface of the contact fusing device so that when the next sheet comes into contact with the fusing device the image partially removed from the first sheet is transferred to the second sheet. This offset problem has been overcome in commercial machines by fabricating the outer surface of the heated roll with a resilient material such as silicone rubber which, when operated with a deformable backup roll, will produce offset-free operation without the use of any offset-preventing liquid such as silicone oil. This fusing roll has had sufficient useful life so that it is suitable for use in a system which utilizes high process speeds in which the components of the system are required to have maintenance free operation for a long period of time. However, in actual service, there is a condition where the surface of the heated roll collects toner and paper particles or dust over a period of operating time which results in thoroughly contaminating the heated roll's silicone rubber surface with toner. This condition, which has been known as a "toner ring," causes machine malfunctions in the form of a loss of information on the printed sheet, causes paper to stick to and wrap around the hot roll and can cause data insertion on the printed page.
It is therefore the principle object of this invention to produce a fuser apparatus which is capable of fusing images without offset at a high process speed which produces maintenance free operation for long periods of time and in which the production of "toner rings" is inhibited for long periods of time.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved method for manufacturing a fuser roll having improved properties.
Briefly, according to the invention, apparatus and a method is provided for manufacturing an improved fuser roll. The roll is coated with a suitable silicone rubber material and the coating is cured. The roll is then treated by rotating the roll about its axis while simultaneously irradiating its surface with a predetermined level of ultra-violet (UV) radiation for a predetermined time. Although it was known in the art to use UV radiation to fully cure polymer materials, it was unexpectedly observed that the post-cure treatment with UV according to the invention produced not only greatly improved resistance to toner ring formation, but also resulted in much lower wear rates.
FIG. 1 shows a roll embodiment of the fusing apparatus embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the apparatus for irradiating the roll surface with ultra-violet radiation.
FIG. 3 is a plot of fuser roll tack vs. time of exposure to a low pressure UV source;
FIG. 4 is a plot of fuser roll softness vs. time of exposure to a low pressure UV source;
FIG. 5 is a plot of typical improvement in retardation of fuser ring growth vs. time of exposure to a low pressure UV source;
FIG. 6 is a plot of fuser roll tach vs. time of exposure to a medium pressure UV source;
FIG. 7 is a plot of fuser roll softness vs. time of exposure to a medium pressure UV source;
FIG. 8 is a plot of typical improvement in retardation of fuser ring growth vs. time of exposure to a medium pressure UV source.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the fusing apparatus comprises a heated member 10 in the shape of a roller which comprises a heat conducting base member 12 having infra-red lamps 14 disposed therein and having a deformable layer 16 of an insulating high temperature material such as one comprising silicone rubber on its outer surface. The power to the lamps 14 will vary depending upon the speed of the paper web 24 through the fusing station and the desired temperature for the hot roll surface temperature. The base member comprises a tube 12 made from a suitable material such as copper or aluminum which is good heat conductor. However, since high temperature materials such as silicone rubber are heat insulating materials, the thickness of the deformable layer 16 must be kept thin and, in a practical embodiment, this thickness would normally be ten mils or less. The backup element 18 is also in the shape of a roller, and the roller is pushed against the heated roll with a meshing force supplied in the illustrated embodiment by cam means 20. The backup element is also formed of a high temperature elastomer 22 such as one comprising silicone rubber.
Heated roll 10 is driven by a suitable motor and when backup roll 18 is meshed with the heated roll, the pressure causes paper web 24 to be driven through the hot roll fuser and to fuse and permanently fix the toner image to sheet 24. Paper web 24 may comprise roll paper, separate sheets of paper or fan-fold paper sheets. The fan-fold paper sheets produce greater wear on the deformable layer due to the presence of the tractor holes in the fan-fold paper.
According to the present invention, an improved method for manufacturing a fuser roll comprising tube 12 and deformable layer 16 is disclosed which has a greatly increased useful life. The fuser roll should have the properties at temperatures suitable for fusing toner, of release from the toner after fusing, wear resistance to fan-fold paper especially at tractor holes, acceptable heat transfer and ability to elastically deform under load to give contact with toner during fusing. The time during which the fuser roll retains these properties is its useful life.
These properties can be obtained according to our invention by forming deformable layer 16 with a suitable silicone rubber material. The silicone rubber material is then cured by any one of several suitable curing methods known in the art. One suitable curing method is described and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,530 to Atkin et al which patent is assigned to the assignee of the present invention. In this curing method, the base member is coated with a silicone gum material containing no curing agent, and then treated by heating in an inert atmosphere to a temperature at which substantial cross-linking occurs for a predetermined time to produce a tough long-wearing silicone rubber deformable layer.
The cured silicone rubber deformable layer 16 on tube 12 is then subjected to a treating step which comprises exposing the roll to a predetermined level of ultra-violet radiation for a predetermined time. The level of ultra-violet radiation and the time of exposure is determined by considering not only the effect of the radiation in the formation of toner rings, but also the effect on other characteristics of the roll which define the useful life of the roll. FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 relate to rolls treated with a low-level ultra-violet radiation. Thin sections of silicone rubber tend to have a tacky surface even when fully cured, by all the conventional tests, such as modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation and cross-link density. FIG. 3 gives the relation of the measured tack of the roll with various treatment times with the low level UV. Tack is a measure of the stickiness of the roll and is measured by placing a standard size sheet in contact with the roll and measuring the force in grams required to peel the sheet off the roll. The tack goes to zero by about a six hour exposure for the low level UV exposure.
The softness of a roll is defined as the ratio of the indentation of a standard probe to the total thickness of the silicone rubber coating. FIG. 4 shows the relation of softness of the roll of FIG. 3 to time of exposure. It can be noted from FIG. 4 that the softness decreases (i.e., roll becomes harder) with increased exposure. It can be seen that the softness remains above 50% until about 9 hours of treatment. FIG. 5 shows the improvement in number of copies produced before onset of toner rings for different times of exposure to the low level UV radiation. FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 show that a treatment time of about 6 hours appears to be optimum.
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 show the results of treatment with a medium pressure mercury arc lamp. The treatment times are much less than with the low pressure radiation as can be seen by the tack curve in FIG. 6 in which the tack goes substantially to zero after about 6 minutes treatment. However, the softness is decreased more rapidly with this treatment. It can be seen that the optimum time for this level of UV radiation is a few minutes, although the improvement in performance is not as great as was the case with the low level exposure.
The low level exposure is the preferred treatment due to the level of improvement achieved. However, in some cases a lower level of improvement may be adequate in view of the difference in processing time.
The apparatus for providing the treating step is shown in FIG. 2. The roll 10 is placed in a suitable fixture (not shown) so that the roll 10 can be continuously rotated about its axis as shown by the arrow in the drawing to provide relative motion between the radiation source and the peripheral surface of the roll. The rotation is preferably at a low speed and is not critical. In some cases it may be advantageous to provide the relative motion by moving the radiation source. As the roll is rotating, its outer peripheral surface is irradiated with a low level ultra-violet radiation provided by a suitable source such as a mercury arc lamp 30. A reflector 32 is preferably provided to direct the radiation toward the roll 10. The surface of the roll 10 is kept in an inert atmosphere during the treating step under some conditions. The inert atmosphere is provided since the UV radiation in the presence of oxygen may produce ozone, which poisons the silicone rubber coating. In the examples previously discussed, the low level radiation treatment requires the inert atmosphere during treatment, but the medium pressure UV treatment does not require the inert atmosphere during treatment. The reason that the inert atmosphere is not required for the medium pressure treatment is either that the spectral output of the medium pressure lamps used does not generate ozone or that the heat generated by the lamp breaks down the ozone as quickly as it is formed. A cylindrical member 34 is mounted in a fixed position surrounding the roll to confine the inert atmosphere. Cylindrical member 34 is made from a suitable material that is transparent to the ultra-violet radiation. The preferred material is a quartz tube. The inert atmosphere is provided by filling the area between roll 10 and the inner peripheral surface of cylindrical tube member 34 with a suitable inert atmosphere. The preferred inert atmosphere is nitrogen and the nitrogen is present in sufficient quantity to provide a flow of about ten cubic feet per hour in the area between the heated roll and the tube 34. The low level ultra-violet radiation is produced for a predetermined time at a low level. For a specific roll and using a Pen Ray lamp number 3SC-9 and a General Electric type 208 quartz tube, the preferred exposure is four milliwats per centimeter squared when measured at the 254 nanometer line of the spectrum from the lamp 30, and this level of radiation is produced for an exposure time of six hours with the roll 10 rotating about its axis at a speed of approximately 50 RPM. This level of exposure and timing produces a fuser roll which not only inhibits the formation of toner rings for a substantial time as shown in FIG. 5, but also produces about one-third lower wear rate.
The reasons for this improved performance due to the described treatment is not fully understood, but lowering the tack of the rolls appears to contribute to the results. One theory for the improved performance is that the prior art rolls were not fully cured, and this is the reason that the paper sizing material, the paper dust and the toner finally combined to produce the toner rings. However, this does not appear to be the correct theory since the silicone rubber coating of the prior art rolls was fully cured by all the conventional tests, such as modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation and cross-link density. In addition, the problem seems to be present with all curing methods.
Another theory is that for some unknown reason the silicone rubber coating on the prior art rolls was not cured well on the surface. However, this also does not appear to be the proper explanation since the heated roll starts out with a coating of silicone rubber about 10 mils thick. This thickness is reduced by abrasive wear during use and with a roll prepared according to the present invention, the beneficial effect is still apparent with a few mils wear on the roll. This indicates that the explanation is not a surface phenomena since no surface phenomena would be present a substantial depth into the coating.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in the form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The withdrawal of two partners from the Big Stone II project has officials looking for the best way to keep the new coal-fired power plant on track: Options include enlisting another partner or proceeding with a slimmed-down project. Great River Energy announced recently that has chosen to withdraw as an owner in the project. In addition, Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency will not be participating as an equity owner because it's in the middle of a contract lawsuit with Rochester Public Utilities, its biggest member. The combined impact means a withdrawal of hundreds of millions o

The Detroit Lakes area must be doing something right. Visitors almost all enjoy themselves, and most of them come back again. And those visitors tend to travel in slightly larger groups, stay longer, and spend more money than most other areas of the state. That's the news from a recently completed tourism study of the Detroit Lakes-Mahnomen Area -- which also includes Frazee and White Earth -- done by the University of Minnesota Tourism Center. The study involves more than 550 self-identified visitors interviewed throughout the year at places as different as the Fireside Restaurant, th
A Becker County grand jury has indicted a Waubun man for first-degree, premeditated homicide in the April 13 shooting death of Chad Swedberg, which occurred while he was processing maple syrup near his home in rural Ogema. Kenneth Eugene Andersen, 34, of 37997 280th Ave., Waubun (Fish Hook Lake) was indicted Monday afternoon in Becker County District Court. He was a friend and business associate of Swedberg. The grand jury deliberated all last week and reached a charging decision late Friday afternoon. Andersen had already been charged with second-degree murder in the case.
Emotions ran high among Lake Park-Audubon School Board members Wednesday as they tried to decide whether to put a school building measure on the ballot. Stung by three building bond referendum defeats within the last two years, Board Member Jeff Swetland pushed long and hard for the board to try a different approach this time around. He wanted the board to sit down with leaders of the "vote no" effort and try to negotiate some kind of compromise. Specifically, he wants to ask them if they would support a new school if the Minnesota Department of Education were to officially reject a "rep
A grand jury has been convened in the Becker County Courthouse, but proceedings are secret and court officials are not even confirming that the grand jury is in session. Grand juries are used to make charging decisions in difficult cases, but a grand jury indictment is also required in Minnesota in order to level a first-degree homicide charge. On Tuesday, a White Earth police officer waited with bailiffs outside the third floor courtroom for his turn to testify. The most recent homicide charged in Becker County occurred April 13 with the death of Chad Swedberg, 33, a Little White Earth
Lake Park-Audubon residents may get a chance to vote on a no-frills school project in late November or early December. Rather than place the same plan on the ballot again, the LP-A School Board is considering whittling it down from $26.7 million to $23.8 million. The proposal, rejected twice by voters, most recently in May by fewer than 100 votes, calls for a new high school in Lake Park and a combination of new construction and renovation at the elementary school in Audubon. The board is considering shaving about $2.9 million off the building bond referendum through a combination of omi
A host of ideas, 12 in all, were considered Thursday when the Lake Park-Audubon School Board discussed options for school improvements. The ideas were compiled from suggestions from the community and past experience. Some options include "very rough projections" from the district's architect, Zerr-Berg, said LP-A Superintendent Dale Hogie.
Detroit Lakes Fire Chief Jeff Swanson wants to make sure smaller fire departments across Minnesota have access to training funds. "I want to make sure the smaller departments don't get left out of the mix," he said. Earlier this month, Swanson was appointed to the 15-member Firefighter Training and Education Board by Gov.
Down 4-1, the The Detroit Lakes Angels amateur baseball team rallied with six runs in the eighth inning to build a 7-4 lead, but they couldn't hold on and the game slipped away to end in a heartbreaking 8-7 loss to the Sauk Rapids Cyclones Sunday evening in Hamburg. It was the second big comeback in as many games for the Angels, but the scrappy Sauk Rapids team made a comeback of their own to end Detroit Lakes' run in the Class C division of the State Tournament. The full story will be posted later today on this Web site.

Route to Orange County evolving
Commuters who battle Highway 91 every day are one small step closer to relief from the daily grind. The Orange County Transportation Authority voted Friday to hire a group of engineers and planners to identify potential routes and costs associated with building a second corridor to link Orange and Riverside counties.
The $3.3 million study is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete, officials said, and will be paid for through money pooled from the Riverside County Transportation Commission and the Orange County Transportation Authority. Each agency will contribute $1.5 million with the remaining money coming from the operators of the Highway 241 toll road in Orange County.
Jacobs Engineering in Riverside was tabbed to identify potential routes and costs. A separate proposal to hire a firm for public outreach services will be heard at a later date.
"The key to this study is being sure that everybody gets their chance to put forth their best ideas toward finding a solution to the problem," said Jim Henderson, the project manager for Jacobs Engineering. "It's absolutely vital that both counties be together on this, which is why the study is being funded by both."
An average of 300,000 cars a day travel Highway 91 on weekdays -- up from 250,000 just three years ago, according to state and county figures. Without a second route, the county projects that number will rise to nearly 500,000 cars a day by 2025.
Henderson said every option for linking the two counties is "on the table." That includes the six possible options identified during the course of Riverside County's four-year land-use planning effort, known as the Riverside County Integrated Project.
Those options range from burrowing a tunnel through the mountains, underneath the Cleveland National Forest to double-decking Highway 91. Other possibilities include linking the two counties through a roadway beginning north of Highway 74 in Lake Elsinore and ending at the 241 toll road.
That roadway would be six lanes and stretch 16 miles with portions of the highway on the surface, connected by two tunnels, measuring about 7,000 feet long each, according to a county estimate. The price tag to build the roadway, estimated last year, would be about $730 million.
Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster, whose district includes that portion of the county, said he favors the road-tunnel option because it would be cheaper and less disruptive than most of the other options being studied.
"I'm very skeptical about this big, long seven- or eight-mile tunnel," Buster said of a proposal by an Orange County engineer that has gained some support in the county. "It just continues the paradigm where this county continues to be seen as the recipient for an onslaught of residential growth and a commuter lifestyle. … Plus, the costs, engineering problems and just the sheer hazard of building it."
Buster said he favors the combined surface road-tunnel scenario for those reasons and others. However, building a long tunnel through the mountains and underneath the national forest is an idea favored by environmental groups, such as the Endangered Habitats League in Los Angeles.

"A reader is a critic with a very fine and important job- to please himself. It is, however, his job, not mine." - Ben Hecht
Illinois Connection
John worked at Chicago Journal, Chicago Daily News, and Chicago Literary Times between 1910 and 1924.
Biographical and Professional Information
Ben Hecht worked as a reporter in Chicago. He was also an author, Broadway playwright and prolific Hollywood screenwriter. He was nominated six times for the Academy Award, winning twice, in 1929 and in 1936.
Ben Hecht moved from journalism to a successful career as a novelist, playwright and screenwriter. As a writer for the Chicago Daily News, he wrote a columnthat became the basis for the collection of sketches, A Thousand and One Afternoons in Chicago (1922). Hecht's greatest theatrical success was The Front Page (1928), written with Charles MacArthur and set in a Chicago newsroom. The play set the image of the tough, wisecracking newspaperman for decades. Moving to Hollywood, Hecht wrote, co-wrote or adapted some of the most successful movies of the 1930s, including the film version of The Front Page (1931), Nothing Sacred (1937), Gunga Din (1938) and Wuthering Heights (1939). Some of Hecht's liveliest writing about his Chicago years appears in Gaily, Gaily (1963; filmed in 1969), Letters from Bohemia (1946) and his autobiography, Child of the Century (1954).

Artisan: Alberto Aparicio Canchari
A dedicated ceramist, Alberto is inspired by the customs and beliefs of Andean villages. His workshop seems inhabited by half-finished creatures, waiting for him to give them the breath of life.
"I've been a ceramist since I was a child, as my parents taught me the craft. Later, I tried to develop my own pieces with a personal style. My main purpose is giving life to my creations, and I've achieved this through the expressions of their faces. My aim is to reflect daily attitudes, Peruvian country scenes, even protests - and I'm satisfied and content. In the workshop I work full-time with my wife.
"Most of our pieces are hand-molded, as only the weight of the hand can give the right shape. We use clay and simple tools; paints and pigments are blended together to produce the required hues, like that of the skin. All are made to resist high temperatures. The process starts from when we mold the pieces, then we paint them, fire them, and at the end, just polish them.
"I've participated in several fairs and exhibitions, winning first and third prize in the 'Inti Raymi' Contest, 1993; and the second prize in the Credit Bank Contest, 1998. I hope that my art will be promoted and valued abroad, not only for its commercial value, but also for its cultural background."

Judge hearing cases against Yeddyurappa among them
C.B. Hippargi, Judge of the 23 {+r} {+d} Additional City Civil and Sessions Court and Special Court for Lokayukta Cases, Bangalore, was among the 174 judges transferred by the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday. Nangali Krishnarao Sudhindrarao is the new judge of the court which is hearing criminal cases against Chief Minister B.S Yeddyurappa and Home Minister R. Ashok.
As many as 50 civil judges, 49 senior civil judges, 22 ad-hoc district judges and presiding officers of fast track courts and 53 district judges are among those transferred.
The controversy over appointment of Director-General and Inspector General of Police reached the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday with Bangalore City Police Commissioner Shankar M. Bidari challenging the April 21 order of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) asking the State Government to send to the UPSC only the names of those officers who are working in the DGP rank in the pay scale of Rs. 75,500 - 80,000 for empanelling them for selection to top police chief's post.
The petition was moved before the vacation bench headed by Justice V. Jagannathan.
Bidari claimed that CAT had directed the State Government to finalise the names of those working in the DGP rank by May 1.
In view of the CAT's directions, only a few officers' names would be sent to the UPSC and names of six officers, including him, would not be sent.
He further claimed that to enable the UPSC to shortlist three names for final consideration by the State Government there should have been names of at least nine officers.
The CAT had passed the order on a petition filed by senior IPS officer D.V. Guruprasad, who challenged the January 20 communication sent by the UPSC to the State Government.

Real Christian Parenting
Real Christian Parenting
By Chelsea Aubin
There are a few types of parenting, called Christian that has caused a big debate. Some people actually link Christian with child abuse. This is not the case. In fact, many people don't have the facts straight, and do not know what Christian is all about.
On this issue of spanking, the rumor is that all Christian encourages spanking, yet this is very inaccurate information. In a world where everyone in conscious of abuse and child neglect, many people are reluctant to apply physical punishment to their child. While years ago spanking a child was found as suitable punishment and was accepted widely, today it is looked at in an almost fear. Child abuse today can take a child out of his or her home and away from their parents. There are two different views on spanking a child with any parent, even Christian parents. There are those who think that this method is effective, and isn't abusing the child. Then there are those who think that spanking their children will lead to abuse later, and that they could get their child taken away from them.
About ten years ago the practice of "Growing Kids God's Way". This method was originally accepted but quickly sprouted controversy. There are three main parts of this kind of parenting. The three are infant feeding, first time obedience, and servant hood. ...continued below/
Infant feeding is a technique that is supposed to show a child that he or she is not the center of the world. That his or her needs will be met, but maybe not at the time that they want it met at. This is almost the exact opposite of what most experts and parents believe, and that is that a hungry child should be fed when he or she is hungry.
The next part of "Growing Kids God's Way" is Servanthood. Servanthood is taught by modeling that the relationship between Mom and Dad takes priority over the children in all circumstances, and that Dad is the head of the household. Dinner is served to Dad first, and his needs and desires are most important. This creates a family hierarchy that places the children at the bottom.
The next is First Time Obediance. This is the thought that the child is to obey the parent the first time the parent asks the child to do something. If the child does not obey, then it is considered sinning, while if a parent asks the child again, the parent would be sinning because it would, it turn, be encouraging the child's behavior.
People believe that Christian parenting, or people who accept it, are agreeing to the "Growing Kids Gods Way" program. In reality, this way of raising children has become less and less popular with Christian parents for the same reason it is becoming out of favor with any "average" parent.
Because of a few ill-advised Christian programs, and because Christian parents are stereotyped as harsh, spanking disciplinarians, Christian principles are rejected. Christian isn't child abuse. It's simply by Christians, who are looking for the same answers and guidance everybody else is.

Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon Low was the founder of the...
Thomson, McDuffie County, lies thirty miles west of Augusta along the east-west corridors of Interstate 20 and U.S. 278. Thomson was named for J. Edgar Thomson of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the chief civil engineer and surveyor of the Georgia Railroad, which ran from Augusta to Crawfordville. Thomson was incorporated in Columbia County by the state legislature on February 15, 1854. When McDuffie County was created from parts of Columbia and Warren counties in 1870, Thomson, near the center of the new county, was designated its county seat.
Thomson grew with the railroad. The wooden station gave way to the 1860 granite depot, later augmented with brick. John Langston, a farmer who owned much of the land that made up Thomson, converted his house to a hotel serving railroad crew and travelers. Langston's son-in-law, the Reverend J. H. Stockton, bought land south of the railroad, dividing it into building lots. Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport have influenced the city's development.
Gold was discovered near Thomson in 1823. Most of this gold, totaling $80,000 in bullion, was obtained close to the earth's surface and refined by the use of a stamp mill, constructed by the local mine owner Jeremiah Griffin. After the Civil War (1861-65) gold mining declined. Today Thomson's industries include kaolin mining, textile manufacturing, iron works distribution facilities, and agribusiness. Several large industrial parks surround the city.
According to the 2010 U.S. census, Thomson's population was 6,778. Thomson is known as the "Camellia City of the South" Clarks Hill reservoir, has encouraged a variety of competitive recreational activities. Augusta's Masters Tournament has encouraged the development of more than twenty area golf courses. Baseball, softball, and fishing tournaments are held in Thomson, as well as archery tournaments like the
Dixie Bowhunter Jamboree. The Belle Meade Hunt, one of the few fox hunts in the Southeast, begins with the "blessing of the hounds" in early November, and hunts take place each week through March. Pine Top Farm, known for its equestrian events, served as a training site for Olympic competitors from five countries before the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
Among the
Augusta Techncial College operates a satellite campus in town.
Thomson was the hometown of statesman and politician Thomas E. Watson, a prominent member of the Populist Party in Georgia and the namesake of the Watson-Brown Foundation. Other Thomson natives include the blues musician "Blind Willie" McTell and the folk artists Jake McCord and Zebedee Armstrong.

AirAsia Plane Carrying 162 Lost; 3rd Malaysia Airline Shock
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs are going on a road trip and you're all invited. The Charmed stars reuniting for Off the Map with Shannen & Holly, a new Great American Country reality series. In a statement Doherty said, "I always wanted to do something in the travel space and really explore America and all its diversity and beauty. To do that with my best friend just makes it that more special."
An astonishingly tragic year for air travel in Southeast Asia turned worse Sunday when an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people disappeared over stormy Indonesian waters, with no word on its fate despite several hours of searching by air and sea. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished in airspace possibly thick with dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Searchers had to fight against heavy rain. The Malaysia-based carrier's loss comes on top of the still-unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine. At the Surabaya airport, shocked family members pored over the plane's manifest, crying and embracing when they learned the news. Nearly all the passengers and crew are Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays.
In 2012, Gabby Douglas was an adorable tiny underdog who won the all-around gold medal in gymnastics at the London Olympics. This weekend, at the City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy, she was the veteran trying to make a comeback. The shining moments of a gymnast's career are cruelly brief. In American gymnastics, comebacks are nearly impossible. But Douglas looked incredibly good at her first competition in more than two years. This week, the gymnternet is cheering her amazing accomplishment: finishing fourth in a small competition at which all of America's biggest rivals were absent — more than three points behind a newer incredible American talent, Simone Biles.
Régis Le Sommier, the deputy editor of French publication Paris Match, says he believes that a video apparently showing the chaotic final seconds on board the Germanwings flight is authentic. "I'm convinced this is real," Le Sommier told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie. "We are pretty positive about our source, which is close to the investigation team, so there is no doubt that what we saw are the final seconds of what happened." A French police official told NBC News that the cell phone video appeared to be "a fake." "The footage is very blurry, but the sound…there's no doubt the passenger knew what was going on inside and knew what was going to happen," Le Sommier said.
There will be no hate crime charges for two males arrested in the beating of a man that may have been sparked by a question about the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown. According to authorities, St. Louis police have charged 21-year-old Ronald Williams with assault. A 15-year-old has also been arrested. There had been speculation that the suspects might be charged with a hate crime because the victim was white and the people who attacked him were black. And because the punches were thrown following the Michael Brown reference. The beating, which occurred on a MetroLink light rail train, was caught on surveillance cameras and a passenger's cell phone camera. The video showed a male unleashing a barrage of punches at the head of the victim, who covered himself with his hand and forearms.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday that the situation in Ukraine had become calmer in the weeks following the Minsk agreement but added that the ceasefire had not yet been fully implemented. Speaking at a news conference in Berlin with Merkel, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said separatists supported by Russian soldiers were still involved in fighting even though that had been reduced. He said 75 Ukrainian forces soldiers had been killed and many injured since the Minsk ceasefire agreement took effect on Feb. 15.

Asset allocation? Think asset location
Annuities can be very valuable

Japan has two. Even Brazil has one. So why not a hedged
currency ETF for the U.K.? Today's debut of the WisdomTree United
Kingdom Hedged Equity Fund (
) takes care of that as the new ETF becomes the first to offer
investors of a way of investing in U.K. stocks while hedging
fluctuations in the British pound/U.S. dollar currency pair
Issuer WisdomTree has already attained success on the currency
hedged front with the $9.4 billion WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity
Fund (NYSE:
). The WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (NYSE:
). That ETF was converted to a
hedged euro dividend ETF
last August. That helped ratchet the fund from relative to
obscurity to raking in almost $280 million in assets this
The WisdomTree United Kingdom Hedged Equity Fund looks to
build on that success and will be in direct competition with the
unhedged iShares MSCI United Kingdom Index Fund (NYSE:
"We believe DXPS offers investors a unique way to capitalize
on the growth potential of leading global companies in the U.K
while hedging exposure to the British pound. Moreover, we believe
the upcoming appointment of Mark Carney as Governor of the Bank
of England (
) represents a potential near-term catalyst, with Carney's
reputation as a forward thinking Governor who may enact bold
policies to reinvigorate the U.K economy",
said WisdomTree Research Director Jeremy
There are obvious advantages to hedging the yen, namely that
Japanese stocks benefit from a weak currency. Additionally, the
euro is viewed by many market observers as overvalued relative to
other developed market currencies, potentially putting HEDJ in a
position to benefit if the European Central Bank
employs additional stimulus measures
But what about hedging the pound? Is this a move investors
should consider? The data indicate the answer is "yes." Over the
past decade, investors could have trimmed volatility in U.K.
stocks by about 430 basis points by hedging pound exposure,
according to WisdomTree
In the past 12 months, the volatility for the iShares MSCI
United Kingdom Index, the index tracked by EWU, is 8.08 percent.
Remove sterling from the equation and that number drops to 6.48
At the sector level, DXPS is dominated by staples, financial
services and energy names with those groups combining for over 54
percent of the ETF's weight. Material and health care also
receive double-digit allocations.
Top-10 holdings in the new ETF include a familiar batch of
U.S.-listed names such as Vodafone (NYSE:
), Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) and BHP Billiton (NYSE:
DXPS has an annual expense ratio of 0.48 percent, slightly
lower than the 0.5 percent charged by the $2 billion EWU.

This is the first time we have been to Phuket and the Patong Beach Hotel which we found to be a very clean and comfortable hotel. The room was excellent with a fabulous bathroom fit-out and a comfortable king sized bed. There was only one chair in the room which I found odd as normally there would be two chairs and a small table. We stayed in the superior Siam wing though my preference next time would be for a room in the Ocean View wing as we were on the 1st floor and had to walk up the steps to access our room. We found the breakfasts to be excellent with great variety to cater for all nationalities. The pool was fantastic. The hotel is central to everything. If you are looking to stay in Phuket you should definitely consider this hotel.

A recap of the Washington Wizards 89-74 win over the Brooklyn Nets:
How it happened:
After leading by one after the first quarter, Washington opened the second quarter on a 17-1 run. Meanwhile the Nets shot 0-for-12 from the field during that span.
Things got so bad Brooklyn's first field goal in the quarter didn't come until the 3:36 mark. Brooklyn's 11 points tied the lowest amount in any quarter for a Wizards opponent this season.
What it means:
The Wizards have now won nine of their last 10 games at Verizon Center and are 9-7 since John Wall returned from injury. But its not just the return of Wall. The number one reason behind Washington's improvement is their commitment to defense. They've now held opponents under 100 points in eight straight games and 16 of their last 18.
Injury update:
Bradley Beal made his return to the lineup after missing five games with a sprained right wrist. The reigning Eastern Conference rookie of the month scored three points on 1-of-5 shooting in 18 minutes.
Important note:
