Some of the Most Flawless Women on WNYC's Airwaves
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
We're not the first to say it. Alexis de Toqueville attributed the singular prosperity of our democracy to "the superiority of American women." New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner pulled that quote in 1956 while honoring Althea Gibson, the first African-American to win a Grand Slam in tennis.
Since then, Gypsy Rose Lee made burlesque an art before Brooklyn said it was; Ultra Violet (Isabelle Collin Dufrense) made a star film director out of Andy Warhol; Angel Derby pilots raced to the Bahamas; Erica Jong went zipperless; and Eleanor Roosevelt laid it down on the ones and twos for which radio station? Oh, that's right. It was WNYC. We happen to have that audio in our archives, along with plenty, plenty more. It's history. It's women. Bow down.
Listen to some of the most important women who've graced our air.

How the Other Half Loves Phoenix Theatre, 414 Mason; (800) 838-3006, www.offbroadwaywest.org. $35, Thurs-Sat, 8pm. Through July 31. In Alan Ayckbourn's 1971 comedy, a night of infidelity propels two colliding couples into menacing a third, a pair of innocents unwittingly drawn into the whole affair as alibis. The collisions are made all the more kinetic by the fact that Ayckbourn cheekily drops the two principal couples into overlapping living rooms, where they continually brush by each other in ironic obliviousness. At the outset of this droll two-act, Fiona Foster (a smart, cucumber-cool Sylvia Kratins) has just slept with Bob Phillips (a brilliantly sourpussed James Darbyshire), junior colleague of her husband Frank (Jeff Garrett, exuding the animated splendor of the full-on English twit), on the night of the couple's wedding anniversary (pure coincidence for the forgetful, loveless Fiona). In loose coordination with lover Bob, Fiona explains her late night absence with reference to a pair of vague acquaintances, the Featherstones (Jocelyn Stringer and Adam D. Simpson). Bob does the same with Teresa (a spunky Corinne Proctor), his homebound wife and a new, deeply disgruntled young mother. Naturally, back-to-back dinner parties with said alibis ensue, much to the horror and chagrin of the adulterers. Off Broadway West Theatre Company's production, smoothly helmed by Richard Harder, makes the most of the complex staging as both time and space collapse over intersecting dining tables. If the play is slow to catch fire, it reaches a nice sustained peak that proves worth the going. Shaky accents from Garrett and especially Simpson can distract at times, but Harder's cast is generally solid and engaging, with particularly enjoyable work from Darbyshire and Proctor as the volatile younger Phillips with their crass bickering, canned erotic energy, and barely countenanced off-stage baby. (Avila)
The 91 Owl African American Arts Cultural Complex, 762 Fulton; 574-8908, www.brownpapertickets.com. $10-25. Nightly, 8pm. Through July 22. A production of Bernard Norris's play about the life of a San Francisco bus stop.

Posibilidad, or Death of the Worker Dolores Park and other sites; 285-1717, www.sfmt.org. Free. Sat-Sun, 2pm; also Sept 6, 2pm; Sept 17, 8pm. It may have been just a coincidence, but it certainly seems auspicious that the San Francisco Mime Troupe, itself collectively run since the 1970's, would preview their latest show Posibilidad on the United Nations International Day of Cooperatives. The show, which centers around the struggles of the last remaining workers in a hemp clothing factory ("Peaceweavers"), hones in on the ideological divide between business conducted as usual, and the impulse to create a different system. Taking a clip from the Ari Lewis/Naomi Klein documentary The Take, half of the play is set in Argentina, where textile-worker Sophia (Lisa Hori-Garcia) becomes involved in a factory takeover for the first time. Her past experiences help inform her new co-workers' sitdown strike and takeover of their own factory after they are told it will close by their impossibly fey, new age boss Ernesto (Rotimi Agbabiaka). You don't need professional co-op experience to find humor in the nascent collective's endless rounds of meetings, wince at their struggles against capitalistic indoctrination, or cheer the rousing message of "Esta es Nuestra Lucha" passionately sung by Velina Brown, though in another welcome coincidence, the run of Posibilidad also coincides with the National Worker Cooperative conference being held in August, so if you get extra inspired, you can always try to join forces there. (Nicole Gluckstern)
Reading My Dad's Porn and French Kissing the Dog The Marsh Studio Theater, 1074 Valencia; (800) 838-3006, www.themarsh.org. Thurs-Sat, 8pm. Through Sat/17. The title of San Francisco writer-performer Cherry Zonkowski's confessional solo show gives only a little awaya passing detail from the Nordic diversions of a spirited army brat and daughter of an alcoholic fatherbut the rest of the narrative leaves even less to the imagination. An account of Zonkowski's initiation into the sex party and BDSM scene, Reading My Dad's Porn bounces gleefully between comically graphic depictions of sweaty, writhing Bay Area meet-and-greets and a childhood and young adulthood buried in family dysfunction, a loveless marriage, and the grueling teaching load of a recent English PhD. Ultimately, it's the story of a woman finding her own identity and community, and if the outlines sound familiar they also feel that way. The straightforward plotpeppered with humorous details and asides (as well as the odd song, accompanied by accordionist Salane Schultz, alternating nights with Aaron Seeman)lacks both urgency and characters of much complexity. The story's patina of outré sex, meanwhile, is far from revelatory and too superficial and jokey to offer much dramatic heft. Nevertheless, the show, developed with director David Ford, draws a limited appeal from the force of Zonkowski's extroverted personality, whose orientation sexual and otherwise skews toward funalthough her more aggressive attempts to corral the audience into participating (mainly vocally) in the show's narrative high jinx may put some off even more than the fisting by the snack table. (Avila)
What Mama Said About Down There Our Little Theater, 287 Ellis; 820-3250, www.theatrebayarea.org. $15-25. Thurs-Sun, 8pm. Through August 28. Writer-performer-activist Sia Amma presents this largely political, a bit clinical, inherently sexual, and utterly unforgettable performance piece.
Young Frankenstein Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor; 551-2000, www.shnsf.com. $30-99. Thurs-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 2pm, also Tues/13, July 20, 8pm; Wed/7, July 24, 21, 2 and 8pm. Through July 25.
For all its outlandish showmanship, Mel Brooks's other movie-turned-musical is not quite as grand a beast as The Producers . Still, the adventures of Victor Frankenstein's reputation-conscious grandson, Frederick Frankensteinplayed with exceeding charm and surgeon-like skill by major cut-up Roger Bart, originator of the role on Broadwayremains a monster of a show, in more ways than one. The rapid-fire repartee, for starters, is scarily deft, the comic timing among a first-rate cast all but flawless (even when milking a line shamelessly), the fancy footwork (choreographed by director Susan Stroman) pretty fancy, and the mise en scène holds some attractive surprises as well. At the same time, and despite the fecund humor revolving around questions of size and virility, the show's actual two-and-a-half-hour length proves a bit wearying, especially as many of the best jokes (though by no means all) are the much-loved and universally much-repeated gags from the film. Moreover, Brooks's songs, while very able, rarely rise to memorable and sometimes feel perfunctory or a bit busy. One of the glorious exceptions is the blind hermit scene (played brilliantly by Brad Oscar), which combines the hilariously plaintive song "Please Send Me Someone" with a lovingly faithful rendition of the original spoof for a sequence that literally smokes.

*East 14th: True Tales of a Reluctant Player Marsh Berkeley, 2120 Allston, Berk; www.themarsh.org. $20-50. July 24, 31, 8pm; Sun/18, July 25, Aug 1, 7pm; Fri/16, 9pm. Through August 1. Don Reed's solo play, making its Oakland debut after an acclaimed New York run, is truly a welcome homecoming twice over. (Avila)

BOISE -- A neighborhood is fighting a major development that's planning hundreds of apartments.
The Hawkins Company is hoping to build housing and shopping at the corner of Gary Lane and Saxton Drive in northwest Boise.
Boise's planning and zoning department will take up the issue in a public hearing at 6 p.m. Monday.
Luke Tendoeschate lives on Baron Lane and is one of the residents opposed to the plan.
Tendoeschate learned about the proposal earlier this year. He was shocked to learn the scale of the development, and the size of the units -- four floors.
We knew something would happen but this is just a little scary, said Tendoeschate.
He's lived on Baron Lane for two years and his house is one of 34 on this quiet street.
Many are upset about the plans for the corner of Gary Lane and Saxton Drive.
Personally that affects us, that's my backyard and when you go in the backyard you'll have all these balconies looking down, you have kids playing in the backyard, said Tendoeschate.
The homeowners association says they've already gathered 500 signatures on a petition against the plan.
While the apartments are a concern, so is the traffic that would come with 320 units.
If you commute down State Street or Gary Lane, or Glenwood, that will affect everyone, said Tendoeschate.
He says the plan is to bring concerns to the planning and zoning meeting tonight in hopes of scaling down the project.
We're not trying to stop it, but we're trying to find a happy medium for everyone, said Tendoeschate.
KTVB did reach out to the developer who said they are preparing for Monday's meeting and are aware that there may be concerns.

Broadcasters seek Congress' ear on sports
The broadcast industry is urging Congress not to allow major U.S. sporting events to become the exclusive domain of cable and satellite television.
The National Association of Broadcasters board has directed its staff to
work with policymakers to make sure that people who only have on-air TV available to them will be able to tune in to the big games, The Hill reported Wednesday.
The newspaper said the lobbying decision was made amid reports the college Bowl Championship Series will be migrating to cable giant ESPN, leaving folks who don't have cable out in the cold.
Wharton said the issue involves publicly funded colleges.
They're saying 15 to 20 percent of society "¦ are not entitled to have access (to the games), he said.
The question is whether college presidents should be complicit in this.

• MA-05: We have what looks like our first declared candidate for Rep. Ed Markey's seat, assuming he wins the Senate special election and then a House special election is required in turn: state Rep. Carl Sciortino. In his announcement press release, Sciortino referred to himself as a progressive three times, and also wisely endorsed the man he's hoping to succeed. Sciortino definitely has an interesting profile. In his own words:
A leading progressive voice, Rep. Sciortino was first elected in 2004, upsetting a 14-year incumbent at age 25. One of the Commonwealth's seven openly-gay legislators, Sciortino is the leading voice for LGBT rights on Beacon Hill, championing the fight for marriage equality and co-authoring the 2011 Transgender Equal Rights Bill. In 2007, Sciortino co-authored the bill which created the 35-foot buffer zone that protects the entrances to women's reproductive health centers. He has led the fight to close corporate tax loopholes and make the state's minimum wage the highest in the nation.MA-05 is a very blue district that reaches around Boston across the north, taking in part of Cambridge, then extends south and west to encompass the town of Framingham. It went for Obama 65-33 in 2012, so if the seat becomes open, the action here will be on the Democratic side.
I also think downballot candidacies will offer a window into how the political establishment views the Senate primary between Markey and fellow Rep. Stephen Lynch of MA-08. If more candidates express an interest in Markey's seat than Lynch's, then I think it's reasonable to conclude more people think Markey will win the Democratic primary, which is less than three months away on April 30.
• IA-Sen: In the context of the Des Moines Register's writeup of a strange Selzer poll asking Iowans which potential Senate candidates are most "appealing," a spokeswoman for former Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack says that her boss is "not running because she is looking into another exciting opportunity." I'm guessing that'll be something outside of electoral politics (Vilsack lost a race last year against GOP Rep. Steve King). Oh, and who is the "most appealing" person? Vilsack's husband, Tom, the current U.S. Agriculture Secretary—for whatever that's worth.
• MA-Sen: Just days after first openly contemplating the race, Republican state Rep. Dan Winslow decided to embrace the impossible and officially run for Senate. Winslow's big problem now is time: As we mentioned previously, he has to collect signatures from 10,000 registered Republicans or independents by Feb. 27, which is a tall order. (He says he's loaning $100,000 to his campaign to get things rolling.) Given the difficulty of this task—plus massive snowstorm that blanketed the state over the weekend—I'd say there's a non-zero chance that neither Winslow nor any other Republican gets on the ballot.
Amazingly enough, a couple of other GOPers are still considering, including state Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, who promises a decision on Monday. Businessman Gabriel Gomez reportedly is as well, but really, the time to get into the race was yesterday. (For what it's worth, FOX News talking head Keith Ablow has said no—amusingly, citing the advice of "chief advisor Roger Stone.")
• MA-Gov: Dem Rep. Mike Capuano ultimately opted against a Senate run, but could he make a bid for governor instead? Well, he's thinking about it, though he didn't offer a timetable for any sort of decision.
• NE-Gov: University of Nebraska Regent Tim Clare says he's reconsidering the Republican gubernatorial primary, now that frontrunner Rick Sheehy has banished himself to purgatory following his resignation as lieutenant governor due to relationships he was carrying on with women other than his wife. Clare thought about the race last fall but declined; however, with Sheehy's exit, the Great Mentioner started citing him once more, so he says he may change his mind.
• AK-AL: Not that anyone thinks veteran GOP Rep. Don Young is going anywhere, but hey, PPP is nothing if not thorough. Just to be sure, they tested 2010 Dem Senate nominee Scott McAdams against Young as part of their new Alaska poll; Young leads 54-37. More interesting are the gay marriage numbers: Voters oppose the concept, yes, but the 51-43 margin is a lot better than you might expect from other similarly red states, so it lends a bit of credence to the conventional wisdom that Alaska is more libertarian than many other places.
Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski chalks up a very solid 54-33 job approval rating, but the remarkable thing is that she earns over 50 percent support from Republicans, independents, and Democrats. Indeed, Dems approve of her the most. If this trend continues, then I think she could be vulnerable to yet another GOP primary challenge in 2016, just as she was in 2010.
• IL-02: Mike Bloomberg's Independence USA is in with another $37K going after ex-Rep. Debbie Halvorson in the Democratic primary via mail. Unfortunately, the group apparently still is not targeting Halvorson's former chief of staff, state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, whose views on guns differed little from her boss's until a recent conversion inspired only by her run for Congress. Meanwhile, Progressive Kick is spending $27K on a TV ad that attacks both Halvorson and Hutchinson over their mutual "A" ratings from the NRA, though I find some of the imagery (particularly when the screen fills with animated blood) to be over the top.
• NH-02: Two Republicans have mooted challenges to freshman Rep. Annie Kuster in recent days: former state House Speaker Bill O'Brien and former state Sen. Gary Lambert. O'Brien, though, is badly tainted, as many New Hampshire political observers believe the radical agenda he pushed from 2010 through 2012 was partly responsible for the utter washout Republicans in the state experienced last November. Indeed, just two years after recapturing the House from Democrats, the GOP gave it all back, and a lot of Republicans blame O'Brien for it.
• NY-21: The Office of Congressional Ethics released a report last week saying that it will continue its investigation into a trip to Taiwan taken in late 2011 by Dem Rep. Bill Owens. The OCE says it has "substantial reason to believe" that the junket was sponsored by the government of Taiwan, which is impermissible under congressional ethics rules. (The sponsorship was later switched to a university.) Owens has already paid back the cost of the trip, and regardless of what the OCE ultimately decides, the House Ethics Committee would have to then take up the matter if there were to be any punishment.
Other Races:
• CA-St. Sen: We've found one of those rare beasts in the wild: a poll of a state senate race. It's for the March 12 upcoming top 2 primary in the special election in SD-32, a San Bernardino-area seat left open by Gloria Negrete McLeod's promotion to the U.S. House. Democratic state Asm. Norma Torres is in pole position at 29 (unsurprising, since it's her internal poll, taken by FM3); her likeliest general opponent will be Republican Paul Leon, the mayor of Ontario, at 18. (As an aside: Ontario—69% Hispanic in 2010—still has a Republican mayor? Man.) Behind them are San Bernardino Co. Auditor-Controller Larry Walker (D) at 12, Pomona planning commissioner Kenny Coble (R) at 10, Joanne Gilbert (D) at 7, and Ontario city councilor Paul Avila (D) at 4.
Related to this downballot battle is a juicy article from Roll Call's Kyle Trygstad, detailing the long "blood feud" between Negrete McLeod and ex-Rep. Joe Baca, who lost to Negrete McLeod in November after more than a decade in the House. Baca has already announced a comeback bid, so the two will be squaring off a second time in CA-35 in 2014. (The two have been peeved at each other ever since 1999, when Baca won the special election to succeed George Brown, defeating Brown's widow, Marta Macias Brown.)
So what's the connection, other than geography? (SD-32 overlaps much of CA-35, as well as CA-31, where Baca could be running instead.) Torres is a Baca ally, while Walker is tight with Negrete McLeod, so this is a proxy battle between the Inland Empire's two factions. (David Jarman)
Grab Bag:
• House: Political analyst Alan Abramowitz has re-tweaked his formula, based on the last 17 midterms, that attempts to project how many seats either party will pick up in the House in the coming election. Abramowitz converts current delegation size, House generic ballot polling, and prior presidential election results into one handy number.
Based on the few generic ballot polls so far (which average out to an optimistic D+4, thanks, bizarrely enough, to the now Dem-tilting Rasmussen), the good news is that Democrats are actually on track to gain in the House... well, gain a total of one seat, which is well short of a majority but would certainly be an overperformance compared with the average midterm for the party in power. That kind of small gain tends to jibe with my general sense of things, especially where, coming off a cycle with redistricting and a lot of other churn, there's not much low-hanging fruit on either side of the aisle.
The really depressing news? Abramowitz concludes that "Democrats would need a margin of 13 points on the generic ballot in order to gain 17 House seats," the amount they need to regain the majority. The last time either party walked away with an edge that big was 1976: Dems took 55.5 percent to 42.2 percent for the GOP, which was still dealing with a hangover from the Watergate devastation two years earlier. (Dems had an almost 17-point edge in '74.) Partisan politics was a very different beast back then, though, so those old elections may not be especially instructive. (For what it's worth, the biggest blowout in recent times was 2008, when Democrats soared to a 10 point win.) (David Jarman & David Nir)
• Pres-by-CD: At this point, unofficial results are better than no results, and so we'll add three districts using preliminary results from Montgomery County, AL. (These are also marked provisional for now.)
AL-02 and AL-03 were drawn to be fairly similar, and indeed, they did perform similarly, both registering at 36-37 percent Obama. Interestingly enough (and possibly owing to the high black population), AL-02 actually swung slightly towards Obama last year. Could former Dem Rep. Bobby Bright have won here? The new AL-02 actually gave Obama a higher percentage of the vote in 2012 than Bright's old AL-02 did in 2008, but there almost certainly would have been fewer ticket splitters last year than there were four years ago. (AL-07, a majority-Black district represented by Dem Terri Sewell, is a soporific 72-27 Obama.) (jeffmd)

|Energy metabolism and uranium (VI) reduction by Desulfovibrio
|Payne, Rayford B., 1974-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) of the genus Desulfovibrio can breathe uranium in a manner similar to the way in which we (human beings) breathe oxygen. In respiration, we transfer electrons from food to oxygen, producing water, SRB transfer electrons of uranium (VI) to uranium (IV). (This transfer of electrons is also called reduction.) The reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) alters the solubility state of the uranium from a soluble to an insoluble, and therefore less biologically available, form. Because SRB are commonly found in uranium contaminated groundwater and soil, it is theoretically possible that we could use them to bioremediate uranium contaminated environments. However, before we attempt to use SRB to bioremediate uranium contaminated environments, we must first understand the SRB genes and enzymes involved in the process of uranium reduction. We have determined that the enzyme cytochrome c3 can act as a U(VI) reductase by Desulfovibrio when hydrogen gas is the energy source; however, alternate pathways utilizing organic compounds for U(VI) reduction exist. In addition, we have observed that Desulfovibrio that have been previously exposed to uranium (such as those bacteria that would be found in a uranium contaminated environment) are impaired in utilizing some organic compounds, but not hydrogen gas, as an energy source for uranium (VI) reduction. This suggests that in order for us to use SRB to treat uranium contaminated environments, it would be more efficient to add hydrogen gas, not organic compounds, as an energy source for the SRB.

Update: I'm not currently a subscriber. I think it some kind of a Break time for me. I the meantime, my friends can always by chasing my screen name over to the ya place. Nothing but trouble here!!! I retain the strength, character, moral conviction, ethics, and personality of the boy I was at age 12. I haven't changed yet – and I don't expect it to happen in this lifetime. Oh . . . and talk about faults, I'm full of things I need help with like: I can be really stubborn about caring for the one that I love; I feel very protective about family; and I love to shop for fresh groceries every evening before making dinner (maybe you can try to change me into a once-a-week shopper as a means to get that "cooking for someone special shows them how much they're loved" thing out of my system). I'm not easy to meet; I think dating is a butt-pain; and I'm not exactly sure of whom I'm looking for – but I do know that I haven't found her yet. Go figure, eh!!! You should be a woman that cares and is understanding of me, and of others. You should be a woman that can hold her own in a conversation . . . I'm thinkin' someone that's not overpowering, yet someone that's not too meek either; someone with a sincere interest in being close; and someone that recognizes the need for mutual respect between partners. I don't know how it all works -- but to keep me interested, her hair color, eyes, ears, and legs should make me smile. When we meet, we'll find out if you like me and if I like you. Sure . . . I'm quiet. Sure . . . I'm a people watcher. Sure . . . I make judgments about others in a short time frame, based on their observed personality. Possibly, years of therapy might be able to help someone like me -- but I doubt it!!! I know who I am; and I kinda like me, I think you will like me too. I make and keep eye contact -- and I invest time to listen to others. I'm romantic, loyal, and I am a best friend to those that are dear to me. I work hard and I am very generous with my time and emotions. I'm kinda cute. Just a little bit older than I want to be. I confess that I have all of these listed faults, possibly more. Only you will be able to find out how deep this fault line travels. So, what can you take out of all this blabber??? Well, I'm a reserved, kind, considerate, and mostly happy partner. I work hard in this bad economy – and I'm tired when I get home. I have a home and a car. I pay my bills. Note: I haven't given up on being a playful, passionate, or sensual "in the moment" man at this time of my life. I think I've got another thirty good years left in me. So, if you're only looking for a relationship of convenience and/or financial stability . . . then we won't be a good match. * We need just three things in life: something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love. Be happy when God answers your prayer, but be more thankful when God makes you the answer to someone else's "prayer.

Allan R. Sandage, the first recipient of the Peter Gruber Foundation Cosmology Prize in 2000 (shared with Jim Peebles), is celebrating this recognition of his achievement by donating the full value of his $150,000 cash prize to the Center for History of Physics' Endowment Fund. We at the American Institute of Physics extend hearty congratulations and a very big thank you to Dr. Sandage for his generosity and foresight in helping us preserve our past.
The Peter Gruber Foundation established the Cosmology Prize as the first major award dedicated to cosmology. The prize will be given annually to an outstanding astronomer, cosmologist, physicist, mathematician, or philosopher of science, honoring those who have contributed to fundamental advances in the field of cosmology. This prestigious award will help to acknowledge and encourage exploration in cosmology and improve our understanding of the universe.
Allan Sandage, Staff Astronomer Emeritus at the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, was awarded this prize for his achievements in observational cosmology. Mainly using the 200-inch telescope on Mount Palomar, he has tackled the task of charting the expansion of the universe. In his tireless pursuit of the Hubble Constant and related problems he has achieved major findings in stellar evolution, dating of the ages of stars and the universe, quasars, galaxy classification, formation and evolution, pulsating variable stars, and methods of correcting for observational selection bias.

The union home ministry has assured Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, a religious body of Muslim scholars and clerics, that they would look into the arrest of senior Hyderabad-based cleric, Maulana Abdul Qavi, who was taken into custody from capital earlier this week. JUH smells 'political conspiracy' behind the arrest of Qavi ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Gujarat Police arrested Qavi, 58, at IGI airport in the national capital on March 23, when he was on way to Deoband from Hyderabad. Qavi has been arrested for his alleged 'involvement in 2003 conspiracy that led to the murder of then state home minister Haren Pandya and a few other cases', supposedly planned to avenge Godhra riots. Police alleged that he was part of the conspiracy with Pakistan's ISI, Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad.
Interestingly, in 2011, Gujarat high court acquitted all the 12 accused arrested in the Haren Pandya murder case. Qavi, who is a rector at Jamia Ashraf ul Uloom in Hyderabad, and has written several religious books and is also part of the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind.
Delhi Police claimed that they had no information about the arrest and home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde maintained the same when he met JUH representatives at Latur in Maharashtra earlier this week. "We have no information about the arrest," a senior officials of special cell of Delhi police told dna.
However, on Sunday, as per JUH, Maulana Nadeem Sidique of the organisation's Maharashtra's unit received a call from the home minister, saying, "Qavi has been arrested by Gujarat Police and not Delhi Police. He said he would look into the matter." Secretary of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind, Maulana Hakeem-ud-din Qasmi, who has camped in Ahmedabad after the arrest of Qavi confirmed the development.
Even though JUH has consulted a battery of lawyers for the case, Qasmi alleged that the arrest was politically motivated. "Yeh bewaqt pakda gaya (he was caught at a wrong time)," Qasmi quoted a senior Gujarat police official as saying.
"He was not informed about any developments in the case. He was not served any notice. He even went to Gujarat last year. It seems that his arrest is politically motivated especially in the wake of the elections. We don't know, who wants to get leverage out of his arrest," alleged Qasmi.
A special POTA court has sent Qavi to police custody until April 7, and he has been kept in Gaekwad Haweli office of crime branch in Jamalpur area of Ahmedabad. Qasmi has been allowed to meet Qavi and he undergoes medical checkup regularly.
"Qavi said that he was cooperating with the interrogators. He has nothing to hide and nothing extraordinary to share as well," said Qasmi. Qavi, a popular face among youth in Hyderabad, police alleged was involved in pushing youth for arms training to Bangladesh and from there to Pakistan. He is alleged to be involved in criminal conspiracy, collecting arms, waging war against the nations, POTA and arms act.

BOISE -- Less than one month after losing the Republican primary in Idaho's 1st Congressional District, Vaughn Ward faces a new allegation of plagiarism after News Channel 7 discovered that Ward s campaign kickoff speech mirrors that of a speech given by anothercongressional candidatein a district25-hundred miles away.
Ward had already been accused of lifting the final passage of a now-famous speech by then-state Sen. Barack Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and using it as his own in a speech that officially launched his run for Congress.
A close analysis of that speech now shows clear evidence that Ward s text not only includes additional passages from the Obama speech, it also contains 15 virtuallyidentical paragraphsfrom Pat Meehan, a Republican who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania s 7th District.
Meehan delivered his speech on the front lawn of hisDrexel Hill, Pa. home on September 14, 2009.
Four months later, Ward delivered his speech in the rotunda of the State Capitol in Boise on January 26, 2010.
Ward declined to go on the record Friday to explain the apparent blatant plagiarism, except to say that he had recently learned that his speech had been outsourced. But that explanation differs from what he saidMay 24 the day before the primary when first confronted with the Obama comparison. At that timeWardblamedhis former campaign manager Ryan O Barto.
[O Barto] took a speech that I wrote a draft of core policies and things I wanted to say in our announcement speech and he took and made some additions to the speech, Ward said then. [He] is no longer with the campaign.
But in a telephone interview Wednesday, O Barto said, I did not write the speech. He called again on Thursday to clarify his position: Vaughn did not write the speech and I did not write the speech.
O Barto declined to say who did write it. It was an internal campaign problem, he repeated several times.Asked to explain what thatmeant, O Barto said, It's an internal campaign issue and that's the way I'm going to deal with it. That's the way it's going to stay from my end.
O Barto, who once served as an aide to Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, said he knows of Pat Meehan, but I have never worked for him.
Reached by phone at his suburban Philadelphia, Pa.home, Meehan confirmed that he andhis campaign staffers wrote the speech he delivered. Despite repeated attempts to obtain acopy of the raw, unedited video ofthespeech, Meehan's press secretarycould not locate one. Meehan did, however, verify that the textavailable online is what he readlast fall. An edited video storydone by Meehan's campaign is posted on his Web site and includes some sound bites that match his text.
I'm flattered someone looked at the ideas we put forth, Meehan said, but I can't control what happens once we put them out on the Internet.
Meehan says he has never heard of Ryan O Barto and was unaware that his speech had been copied until contacted by KTVB this week.
When O'Barto was asked if a possible reason fornot being more forthcomingabout the authorship of the speech was because he hoped tomaintain a futurerelationship with the Republican Party,he answered: I have no comment.
Later, O Barto added: I'm just trying to move on with everything here. I don t want to be in the news. It s just not good for me. I just want to get past all of this.
Ward blames loss on mash-up, media
Considered the front-runner in his 1st District Republican race against eventual winner Raul Labrador, Ward found himself dealing witha series of public gaffes, the last of which was avideoposted on YouTube by Labrador supporter and fellow Republican Lucas Baumbach. In it, Baumbach mashed togethervideo of Ward delivering the final passage of his speech side-by-side with video of Obama's speechto reveal how the twomirrored each other.
NewsChannel 7 reporter Nishi Gupta asked Ward to explain the word-for-word comparison. Ward said:
That comes back to a process that was changed, a leadership that was changed inside the campaign I dealt with decisively when we had these issues arise. We're talking about something here that's already two weeks old, something we've already discussed on the campaign and on Channel 7 during our debate I said: 'Listen, I take full responsibility for everything that happens on this campaign.' And during that time that dealt with this issue. The same person who was involved in that is no longer a staffer on the campaign, same person who was dealt with writing the speech at the end.
On the day after his loss, after the Baumbach video had gone viral even Jay Leno had used it as the set-up to a joke on The Tonight Show Ward said that he had tried to move past the issue, but unfortunately that was too little, too late. I think we all know that and there s not much else to be said.
He had more to say, however,three days later when, in an interview with the Washington, D.C.-based news and blog site The Daily Caller, Ward said Baumbach spliced together the common words and rhetoric from the two speeches to make it appear that they were identical. It wasn't true. It's now been self-admitted by the people who designed it. It was a piece of propaganda. That's their own words they used. And they used it to blow me apart. And they did.
In several conversations with members of KTVB's staffand in at least one radio interview, Wardnever denied speakingthe words he is seen deliveringopposite Obama in the Baumbach video.
But in the Daily Caller interview, Wardpointed fingers at the media in general, and KTVB in particular:
We asked the media to conduct some due diligence prior to running the propaganda. No due diligence occurred until after the election when the creator proudly boasted of his accomplishment. The largest station in our state headlined this story and played the propaganda video over and over.
For the record, KTVBaired the storyonce - in the News at Ten on the night before the primary. The story did not run in the next morning's newscast, nor did it appear on KTVB.COM until after the polls closed.
Baumbach stands by his 'propaganda' video
Baumbach did, in fact, tell the Spokesman-Review s Betsy Russell that his video wasn t accurate - it was a piece of propaganda.
But in two separate interviews with KTVB this week, Baumbach stood by his video while acknowledging thathe should have been more careful in his choice of words.
My definition of propaganda differs from what maybe some people's sense of it is. Pretty much, everything out there is propaganda and I think you need to sift through it and decide what's true and what's not true. I did not intend for people to come off with the impression that I was a liar or a cheat or that I was smearing people.
Baumbach saidhis videowas - and is- a fair representation of what Ward said. He noted that he ended his video with a billboard that citedall sources used to create his mash-up.
I didn't mean that I was lying; I didn't mean that I was trying to make anybody look worse than they already made themselves look. It wasn t accurate in that I didn t show everything. I left things out. The video speaks for itself.
I learned that you do need to be sensitive to words, Baumbach concluded. The meaning of words are important. I shouldn't have used the word propaganda if that led people to believe that they were duped and they were stupid to change their vote. I think that the video was true.
Ward parrots what Democrat John Kerry believes
When the entireWard speech is examinedline-by-line in comparison toObama's, it is clear thatBaumbach s video only reveals the last section of the speeches and that there were more examples he did not even know about - not only in word-for-wordsimilarities but in the structure of the speeches.
In one section, Ward talks about beliefs in America that mimic what Obama says are John Kerry's beliefs in America. Kerry was the Democratic Party'spresidential nominee in 2004.
In another section,Obama'sexperience at a factory echoes a vignetteWard tells six years later thatraises the questionwhether Ward's meeting actuallyhappened, or wasmimeographedsolelyto be used as a speech illustration,withminor adjustments to account for geography.
Barack Obama's 2004 speech:
We have more work to do. More work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay 7 bucks an hour; more to do for the father I met who was losing his job and choking back the tears wondering how he would pay $4,500 a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits that he counted on.
Vaughn Ward's 2010 speech:
We have work to do for the high-tech workers that I have met in the Treasure Valley. Their jobs are moving overseas and they now compete with their children for jobs that pay minimum wage. You know, I m reminded of in Nampa I met a family who had a small business, 40-year family business, and I met and talked to the mother and the father who owned it, the husband and wife, and it was failing. And they choked back tears, saying, We don t know what s next. What do we do? We have work to do for them.
Suchexamples, none of which are in Baumbach's video,appear to make a strongcase thatthe Ward author plagiarizedObama when writingWard's speech.
Boise State University English professor Mike Markel reviewed the Ward and Obama speeches, at KTVB's request.
Although you cannot ever definitively prove plagiarism from internal evidence alone, I would say it is very likely that whoever wrote the second speech was working with a copy of the first speech before him or her, Dr. Markel said.
Jonathan Bailey, who founded Plagiarism Today, a company based in suburban New Orleans, La. that specializes in tracking and stopping the misuse of copyright information, says he is seeing more incidents of political speechwriters or volunteers interjecting plagiarized material into campaigns, not just in speeches but also Web sites and other campaign literature.
When KTVBtranscribed Ward's speech and pasted the script into Grammarly, a Web site that specializes in detecting plagiarism, it flagged the document as being plagiarized and linked to Pat Meehan s Pennsylvania campaign page that included the verbatimof hiskickoff speech, available to anyone with access to the Internet.
In the side-by-side inspection of Meehan's speech as compared to Ward, it is clear there was no effort to re-work or change thereplications - even when the narratives appear to be personal. An example:
Pat Meehan's 2009 speech:
I have looked the citizens of this Commonwealth in the eye as they have shared with me their deepest fears and their greatest hopes. They have told me they feel as if their voice just isn t being heard in Washington, that the representatives they have elected have sold them out to the special interests, that government now seems to be something that is imposed on them, rather than something that is working for them.
Vaughn Ward's 2010 speech:
I ve looked the citizens of Idaho in the eye and they have shared with me their deepest fears and their greatest hopes. They have told me they feel as if their voices are falling on deaf ears in Washington, and that their current representative is a part of the problem, and that their government now seems to be something that is imposed on them rather than something that is for them.
Ward said in his May 24 KTVB interview that the things he had been talking about on the campaign had 'come from the heart.
The full, unedited texts of Ward's, Meehan's, and Obama's speeches are availableto allow readers the opportunity todo their ownreview,conduct their ownline-by-line comparisons, and make their own judgments whether Ward plagiarized the others andwhetherBaumbach's video wasn't true, as Wardnow claims.
When the passages from Meehan's and Obama's speeches are stripped out of Ward's 1,464 word speech, less than 25% of the textremains -text thatcould reasonably be characterized as original.
O'Barto,who says he resigned and was not fired by Ward when he left thecampaign less than two weeks before the primary,held firm Thursday in refusing to reveal who authored Ward's speech. People who know about politics know what really happened.
It's an internal campaign issue and whether it makes sense to [the public], I haveno other comment on anything else. O'Bartosaid he is moving from Boise to start a new job at a consulting firm in Washington, D.C.
Vaughn Ward said on April 30: We need to elect leaders who believe in transparency, who believe in holding themselves accountable to a higher standard. These are important things that I think that s why people are so upset with our current government. They say, I don t believe them anymore.

Thanks a million if anyone knows how.
So far, I've used a simple "migration" script to use both js 1.9.1 & 1.10.0 which works, but the filtering is not working with the new menu.
The structure is a bit different, meaning the jpList plugin uses the data-path attribute inside a span tag for each category it filters.
The multi-level menu uses a li tag structure with a tags.
I am not sure what variables need to be modified to do this.
I have the source to both & what I've tried so far if anyone knows their way around js libraries.
I'd be willing to send a PayPal payment your way as well if you can help.
Thanks, Sean Wichert, Sr.

Hi i am doing easy peasy sock and i having trouble with turning the heel can i do different heel turn? I tried and still
having problem when i do ssk when i try to take off needles to knit it tight and hard to get off needles? So i took some rows out ttry again. Any suggestions.
i am doing it on dpn i thinking of doing it on circular needles doing magic loop might be better? Thanks Lindasade
You can certainly substitute another heel if you'd like. It's better not to knit the ssk too tightly, especially if it makes it hard to knit into on the next row. You could try the improved ssk (slip one knitwise, slip one purlwise, knit together into the back loop) and see if that works better.
Hi Salamonmac, Thank you for your help i will try improved ssk great video when i turn the heel. Lindasade
Hi, I tried the new improved ssk on working my sock turning the heel it is much easier to do now. Thank you so much for helping me out. Liindasade

What if... I fancy my colleague?
Working long hours in a small research group inevitably leads to some PhD students striking up romantic relationships with each other. There are no rules against it, but becoming an item with one of your colleagues can make others wary of you, says Simon Barker, a PhD student at Newcastle University who works in the same lab as his girlfriend, as well as running a start-up with her. "Although we've never had any domestic scraps at work, some people are shocked that we spend so much time together." He can see how a relationship in the lab could backfire. "I can imagine that if you are new to the relationship, working with a partner could be distracting to other people."
Newth's experience of love on the job isn't as positive as Barker's. Tongues started wagging when she got together with a fellow delegate at the party on the final night of a conference. "I don't regret it but I blush every time I see him at a conference, which is a few times a year. Word spread pretty quickly, and my colleagues are constantly joking about it. I would advise people to think twice about letting loose at conferences," she says.
...Or have a baby?
Stories abound about women being refused maternity leave because their funding would run out before they returned. Universities need to do more to convince women that raising a family and being a scientist are compatible, says Rachel Tobbell at the UKRC, a government organisation that aims to promote gender equality. "Many women decide in their late 20s and 30s that the long, inflexible hours and financial insecurity associated with the early stages of a research career are incompatible with having children. You can't pick up the kids from school and be at the lab bench at the same time." Men also feel the pressure of juggling a research career with being a hands-on dad, with some choosing to work flexible hours; but it is the women that tend to walk away before they get to fill the senior positions, says Tobbell.
Help is out there for parents who decide to stay. The Royal Society's Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships are intended for young researchers who need flexibility because of parenting responsibilities or health issues, while the Daphne Jackson Trust offers grants for those who have had a break of more than two years.
Most graduate researchers enjoy their PhDs, even those who have met problems along the way. Things may appear problematic initially, but they will probably improve as you become more confident and knowledgeable about the subject. "Doing a PhD is like banging your head against a wall," says one student who is about to submit his thesis. "Over time, you learn where the softer parts of the wall are."
Before you sign up
- Decide what sort of supervisor you would prefer: a big name with lots of connections but not much time, or a junior professor with less experience but perhaps more enthusiasm.
- Meet any potential supervisor face to face but don't forget to have a beer with their students and postdocs as well. Now is the time to get the low-down on what their mentoring style is and a feel for the mood of the research group.
- Look at the Research Assessment Exercise rating of your intended department. Three or four stars mean that the research carried out is internationally excellent or world-leading.
- Try to have an overall aim but don't worry if you don't have the exact title of your thesis nailed at the start. The PhD is a continually evolving beast. As you gain more knowledge, your interests may change.
- Choose a project that you are passionate about. There will be times you hate it, but ultimately a PhD must be a labour of love.

Very informative. I often photograph two people together, but with a single light up and to the right. So in my case I should aim it hard to the left, so the further person is in more direct light and the nearer person is in the feathered light?
Silly question...do I still use umbrella or softbox when doing it this way?

3M™ Novec™ >
Product Catalog >
From its inception, 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid was designed to address the global demand for a clean agent halon replacement that offers a wide margin of safety, is effective at extinguishing fire hazards and is not targeted for emission reduction, phase-out or phase-down. This next-generation clean agent offers:
Because of its unsurpassed environmental profile, Novec 1230 fluid is the first halocarbon halon replacement to offer a viable, long-term sustainable technology for special hazards fire protection.
That's why we say that Novec 1230 fluid was created for life: for the life of your people, to help keep them safe from fire and chemical hazards; for the life of your equipment, to effectively protect it from fire; and for the life of your system. It not only meets today's environmental regulations but also those of the foreseeable future.
Read how 3M backs its commitment to sustainability with the industry-exclusive 3M™ Blue Sky(SM) Warranty.
The LEED® Green Building Rating System™, founded and administered by the United States Green Building Council, is a third-party certification system designed to encourage sustainable building and development practices. Because Novec 1230 fluid enables facilities managers to effect a 99% reduction in greenhouse gases in critical function fire suppression, its use may make it possible to claim LEED Innovation Credits.
Read more about how a fire protection system utilizing Novec 1230 fluid could help you earn LEED credits on your next project.
In recent years, concerns about environmental issues—especially those relating to climate change—have led to increasing regulatory scrutiny of compounds with high global warming potentials (GWPs). These so-called "greenhouse gases" include several conventional halon replacements, such as HFC-227ea and HFC-125.
Under the Kyoto Protocol and other international agreements, more and more industrialized nations have committed to reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released to the atmosphere. Although the use of HFCs in fire protection is allowed today, there is growing concern about their future viability, as regulators look for industries and applications where alternatives exist to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, without harming economic growth.
For example, abatement of HFC materials in fire protection applications is one way companies can reduce their overall emissions from the "basket" of six greenhouse gases identified by the Kyoto Protocol. In addition, many forward-thinking companies are beginning to consider the potential costs of monitoring and reporting their use of greenhouse gases, as well as the cost and disruption to replace an HFC-based system in the future, if new restrictions on HFCs come into force. Ultimately, a growing number of end-users are concluding that long-term economics—as well as good stewardship—favor the use of sustainable technologies, such as 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid.

What is the best way to protect the authority of international commercial arbitrations? Is a party obliged to "play defence" and not ask the courts of the seat of the arbitration to interfere until after arbitration proceedings are commenced? Or can a party "play offense" and ask those courts to take jurisdiction before any arbitration proceedings begin? This is the issue which the UK Court of Appeal addressed in AES-Ust-Kamenogorsk Hydropower Plant LLP v. Ust-Kamenogorsk Hydropower Plant JSC.
Clearly, if the courts of countries which are not the seat of the arbitration "play offence" and issue conflicting declarations and injunctions, it would play havoc with the arbitration regime. There must be one and only one court system which exercises this supervisory "sooner or later" jurisdiction, and that is the court system of the seat of the arbitration. For those who need the pro-active internention of that court system to protect an arbitral regime, the Kamenogorsk decision is a powerful pronouncement.

After one washing, following care directions, the quilting was all bunched up inside. I had to open one end and remove the quilting, then sew all edges, making hems all around. It finally fit the bed. I'm still looking for a new one.

Comments about Bella Rose Comforter Set:
I was very disappointed when I saw how shiny the gold was. It is very tacky and I should have returned it. If you like flashy stuff, then you might like it. However, order a King if you have a queen because it is small.

Having gone to Knott's Scary Farm as well as Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights my husband and I decided since we were in Vegas to try something new. Since both of us love Halloween and Haunted Houses and mazes this was looked like it was right up our alley. I really recommend going here. It is located about 10 miles from the Vegas strip and very easy to get to and find.
It's set up in a parking lot in front of the AMC theater. They have been doing this for over 20 years. The outside of the 3 houses look something out of a carnival where you go in to DIE and never ever come out. But that isn't the case. When you step inside you are definitely transformed into each themed house.
They take your picture as you enter for viewing and purchase later on. Which is a great deal compared to some other places and you actually if you buy 2 you get 2 free so that is 4 pictures which are great quality. The ticket booth is set up on the side. Definitely recommend buying the Fear Pass for all 3 houses and the VIP Fast Pass which is an extra $10 BUT gets you a nice tshirt as a souviner of your experience.
Once we had our tickets and shirts we decided to start with Circus of Terror. This one is circus related and there is a clown taking our tickets. The ringmaster asks us if we want to go inside and gives us the rules. The maze is interactive in several rooms. Without giving away anything there are rooms where you are told to do something and rooms you have to figure out what to do. It's in a way better than this year's Trapped at Knott's. Much better darker and creepier. At one point I had to navigate with my hands. The ending had me freaking out a little bit since I was the one picked.
Next up was Castle Vampyre. This is my favorite of the 3 houses. Igor takes your ticket and he is creepy. There is a vampire lady who gives us the rules once again and asks us if we really want to enter the house er castle. This maze is dark, twisted, has a couple really cool effects making you have to think for yourself to get out of and across. The ending had me in awe. Instead of being scared I stood there with my mouth open just watching, mesmerized. The detail in here in some of the rooms effects made me forget about Universal Horror Nights completely. It is definitely sick and twisted.
The last house of the evening is Gates of Hell. Now this house is different because you need to sign a waiver much like Trapped at Knott's. BUT unlike Trapped this is an "R rated house" no one under 17 is admitted. YOU will be touched. YOU will be shoved. YOU will be cussed at. It's very intense. There is a safe word which for this year is "Purgatory" There is a priest who takes your ticket and has you sign the waiver. You approach the Grim Reaper and he explains the rules again. You enter the house. Let's just say this is definitely more intense than anything I've ever been inside of. It's scary and it's very interactive. I had my legs and ankles grabbed at, yelled at and more. The ending had me running out of it. I never said the safe word even though at the beginning I was tempted to. I made it all the way thru.
This is definitely a must do if in the area. Nothing will ever come close to this. There is definitely no conga line thru the houses. It is you and your group only. I think what makes this work is unlike Universal or even Knott's there is no something to watch or look at and something comes out at you from somewhere else. It feels like YOU are the star in some horrible horror house gone wrong. I thought I would have nightmares but luckily I didn't. We were there a little before 7pm and finished by 8:30pm. The pictures they couldn't find ours so they had us redo them before viewing so that took a little more time. We finished and went back to our hotel room quickly and out to dinner and had the evening to spend on the strip.

Bullet Headlight with Visor Chrome Bicycle Light
2 Recommendations
Alyson's recommendation
You can't go putting any old plastic light on your vintage bike. Also, you can get a ticket, at least in LA, for not having a light on your bike. Best to throw down the Franklin and avoid being "that biker" who's been pulled over on her commute home. Trust me on this one.
My Collections:
chad's recommendation
Few bicycles have the audacity to pull this off, but those who can are hailed glorious by all other bicyclers. There is no doubt that a bullet headlight is the coolest accessory you can own. -- I think it'd look great on my '71 Schwinn.
