Joe Trippi, Dean's former campaign manager, said, "It shouldn't be an anvil that you keep hammering to destroy his candidacy. I don't think there was a big conspiracy to do that, but that's what was going on."
The incident took on such a life, said Paul Slavin, senior vice president of ABC News, that "the amount of attention it was receiving necessitated more attention." But even Roger Ailes, the influential GOP conservative who runs Fox News for Rupert Murdoch, told ABC News that it was "overplayed a bit."
CBS News president Andrew Heyward said the cumulative effect was that the event was covered more than was justified. "It's just inherent in the structure of the news media today, especially with the role that 24-hour cable plays," Heyward said. "Cable thrives on repetition and, let's be kind, exhaustive analysis, which has to constantly be freshened. If there's a powerful piece of video to fuel it, it's going to be repeated even more."
And as it turns out, the Scream was a phony from the beginning. As Diane Sawyer noted, Dean was using a mic that filters out crowd noise to heighten his voice. In reality, you could barely hear the Scream from the floor.

Billy the Kid is a 1930 American film directed in widescreen by King Vidor about the relationship between frontier outlaw Billy the Kid (Johnny Mack Brown, billed as "John Mack Brown") and Pat Garrett (Wallace Beery), the man who later killed him.
- John Mack Brown as Billy the Kid
- Wallace Beery as Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett
- Kay Johnson as Claire Randall
- Karl Dane as Swenson
- Wyndham Standing as Jack Tunston
- Russell Simpson as Angus McSween
- Blanche Friderici as Mrs McSween (as Blanche Frederici)
- Roscoe Ates as Old Stuff
- Warner Richmond as Bob Ballinger
- James A. Marcus as Colonel William P. Donovan

- Jack Carlyle as Dick Brewer

- Chris-Pin Martin as Don Esteban Santiago
- Marguerita Padula as Nicky "Pinky" Whoosiz
- Aggie Herring as Emily Hatfield
Directed by King Vidor, the movie was filmed in an early widescreen process called Realife, a 70mm format similar to Fox Film Corporation's Grandeur used for the lavish The Big Trail the same year.[1]
While The Big Trail, starring John Wayne, has been restored so that the 1930 widescreen process can be evaluated by modern viewers, no widescreen prints of Billy the Kid are known to currently exist and the movie can only be viewed in a standard-width version that was filmed simultaneously. Widescreen did not get a commercial foothold until The Robe two decades later.
In some newspaper ads, the more familiar Beery, a major star and frequent supporting player since the teens during the silent era, was accorded top billing over young Brown but not in the main posters. Within two years Beery had contractually become MGM's highest paid actor while John Mack Brown was rechristened "Johnny Mack Brown" and demoted into B-Westerns.
The film was remade in color in 1941 as Billy the Kid with Robert Taylor as Billy and Brian Donlevy as a fictionalized version of Pat Garrett. The Howard Hughes version two years later, called The Outlaw and mainly serving as an introductory vehicle for Jane Russell, owes at least as much to the 1930 film, particularly in the casting of Thomas Mitchell, a superb actor who physically resembles Wallace Beery, as Garrett.
Films and television revisited the Pat Garrett-Billy the Kid relationship almost continuously in subsequent decades. Paul Newman played Billy in the '50s in The Left Handed Gun; a television series was filmed in 1960 with the same theme called The Tall Man, with Barry Sullivan as Garrett and Clu Gulager as Billy; Sam Peckinpah directed a movie version in the '70s with James Coburn as Garrett; and Val Kilmer played Billy in Gore Vidal's Billy the Kid, a lavish television version written by Gore Vidal and televised in 1989.

SAC lawyers support delay in civil case against firm's founder
By Casey Sullivan and Emily Flitter
(Reuters) – Lawyers for SAC Capital Advisors founder Steven A. Cohen expressed support for a government motion to delay insider trading civil proceedings against Cohen, pending related criminal charges against his hedge fund, according to a court filing on Friday.
Cohen's defense lawyers said that they supported the Justice Department's motion, with the caveat that the Securities and Exchange Commission promptly provide documents relating to the case, which consists of "at least 375 million pages".
Factbox: Tourre verdict boosts SEC's post-crisis trial record
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Holding people liable for roles they played in the 2008 financial crisis has not been easy for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which a jury ruled mostly for on Thursday in the civil fraud trial of former Goldman Sachs trader Fabrice Tourre.
The SEC says it has brought enforcement actions against 157 people and entities and collected $2.68 billion in penalties and other monetary judgments in response to the crisis. Only three of these cases have gone to trial, and the results, at best, are mixed.

Accused tipper to SAC hedge fund arrested in insider-trading probe
By Emily Flitter and Dan Levine
(Reuters) – A securities analyst accused of leaking secret information in 2009 about a potential partnership between Yahoo and Microsoft to an SAC Capital Advisors hedge fund manager and other traders was arrested and charged in California, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Sandeep Aggarwal, who worked as an analyst covering technology stocks before moving to India to start his own internet company, was arrested on Monday by FBI agents in San Jose while visiting the United States. He made his initial appearance in San Francisco federal court on Tuesday, charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud related to insider trading.
'Real Housewives' New Jersey couple facing fraud charges
NEW YORK (Reuters) – She was called a "dumb ass" on national television on Sunday, but things got worse for reality TV "Real Housewife" Teresa Guidice on Monday when she and her husband, Giuseppe, were charged with fraud and tax evasion.
The two cast members of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" were indicted in U.S. District Court in New Jersey on a total of 39 charges, including bankruptcy fraud, making false statements on loan applications, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, according to court filings.
SAC Capital pleads not guilty, but remains silent to investors
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen's hedge fund pleaded not guilty on Friday to insider trading charges in federal court, as investors in the roughly $15 billion fund awaited word on plans for the fund's future.
Several SAC Capital Advisors LLP clients said they had yet to be contacted officially by the firm in an investor-wide call or note. Investors have until August 16 to decide if they will submit a redemption request to the fund. At least one client called, but could get no information.
Criminal case against SAC is strong: lawyers
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The decision by federal prosecutors to bring criminal charges against hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors LP, rather than its billionaire owner, Steven A. Cohen, makes it more likely that the government will be able to secure a guilty verdict, lawyers say.
Attorneys who are following the case said they believe prosecutors have met the standard for convicting a corporation under federal law.
U.S. charges SAC Capital with insider trading crimes
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Federal prosecutors came down hard on billionaire hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen on Thursday, unveiling criminal fraud charges against his SAC Capital Advisors LP that could put an end to his investment career.
An indictment and a civil case seeking an asset freeze and criminal money laundering penalties, cap a seven year-long investigation of one of Wall Street's most renowned firms amid a crackdown on insider trading that led to scores of convictions.
SAC indictment describes 'insider trading group' at Citadel: sources
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A former employee of SAC Capital Advisors' Chicago office, Richard Lee, was once part of an "insider trading group" at a rival hedge fund, according to court filings, and a source familiar with the matter said the hedge fund Lee had worked for was Citadel Investment Group.
Charges filed in U.S. District Court in New York on Thursday against Steven A. Cohen's SAC Capital describe the move Lee made from a hedge fund, identified only as "Hedge Fund A" to SAC, despite a warning that Lee "was known for being part of Hedge Fund A's 'insider trading group.'"
DOJ expects to charge SAC Capital on Thursday – source
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Federal prosecutors are continuing to look for ways to build a criminal case against billionaire trader Steven A. Cohen at the same time as they prepare to announce criminal charges against his hedge fund, said people familiar with the investigation.
Charges of securities fraud and wire fraud expected to be filed against the company on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

TORONTO - There's a great significance to the forthcoming Toronto debut of "Flashdance — The Musical."
After all, the city is where renowned director and choreographer Sergio Trujillo grew up and first saw the 1983 film, which inspired him to pursue a dance career.
It's also the hometown of Robbie Roth, who composed the show's new music and co-wrote the lyrics.
And it's where Tom Hedley, who co-wrote the musical and the original screenplay, got the inspiration for the story of a female welder who does exotic performances at a night club and longs to dance professionally in Pittsburgh.
"She's a lot like some of the girls that I based it on. They were really individuals from here, Toronto," the British magazine editor and screenwriter said in a recent interview.
"I wrote it here and it was conceived in Toronto."
Hedley said it all began when his artist friend, painter Robert Markle, introduced him to a Toronto night club where women put on "modern burlesque" performances to music in the early 1980s.
The venue, Gimlets, sat across the street from the Ed Mirvish Theatre, where "Flashdance — The Musical" will run May 27 through June 8.
"Some of these dancers had real followings, and (they were) kind of hip followings, because the painters went there," he said. "There was nothing exploitive about it."
Hedley wanted to do a working-class, blue-collar musical film with women at the centre of it, and when he went to Gimlets, "it all came together."
"I became interested in the world of the burlesque-meeting-MTV thing. It was in the air and I thought, 'That would be a good arena to create the story.'"
Hedley said he also got inspiration for headstrong protagonist Alex Owens, played by Jennifer Beals in the film, from an actress/dancer he knew who wore hard hats on her day job as a fire alarm installer.
He coined the word "flashdance" as a way to represent "that moment in a flash where fashion, music and dance come together to create an image."
And the steeltown setting? It was based on his time in Hamilton as a child.
"All these ghosts in it, they were all Toronto ghosts," said Hedley. "It was very much the right place to create this story."
The romantic drama became a box office hit, as did its Grammy-winning soundtrack, which includes "Gloria," Oscar-nominated "Maniac" and the Oscar-and- Golden Globe-winning "Flashdance... What a Feeling."
The song "Manhunt" was about women claiming control of their lives and relationships.
"(It) was about, 'Look, it's over for you guys — we decide, the woman decides the romance, not the man,'" said Hedley. "And it just hit a chord with women recognizing that it was their body, their imagination, their taste that won the day, not the men's.
"So it was a kind of sisterhood thing that you felt in the zeitgeist back then."
The stage adaptation debuted in London in 2008 with a book co-written by Hedley and Robert Cary, who also co-wrote the lyrics with Roth for 16 new songs that were added to the mix alongside the original tunes.
"The mandate was to create a score that didn't feel as though you heard the songs from the film and then you were hearing a very sort of disparate theatre score," said Roth.
"My job was to make it all feel like it was coming from the same source."
Trujillo — acclaimed choreographer of musicals including "Jersey Boys," "Next to Normal" and "The Addams Family" — came onboard as director and choreographer after seeing it in London.
"It mirrors Sergio's story a little bit," said Roth. "Because Sergio ... went to chiropractic college ... in Toronto and was sort of on that path but knew inside him that there was something else."
"He saw the movie and he said 'I want to be a dancer,'" added Hedley. "So it was a real sort of bold step."
Roth said Trujillo has "wrung the dance out of every possible moment" in the show so it moves from beginning to end.
Meanwhile, the creative team has tweaked the production to create a deeper love story with a male character who now has a strong arc.
"Tom has created ... such a woman in charge and such an iconic, strong woman, and part of the challenge was to figure out how a woman like that can allow herself to fall in love," said Roth.
"Because she is so strong and independent ... and that's part of the struggle that we deal with in the show, is how can she let this man in and still retain that fire?"
Speaking of fire, the set includes a steel mill complete with sparks and smoke.
And yes, the show has the iconic watery dance scene from the film.
Toronto is the last stop for the current tour of "Flashdance — The Musical." Hedley said it's next due to open in Paris and on Broadway, and will embark on another tour next year.
Seeing his original story unfold onstage decades later has an eerily similar feel, he said.
"When I wrote the thing in the first place, it was 1983, it was the savings and loans scandal ... Iran was the major enemy, double-digit unemployment and it was big recession. It felt exactly like it does now, except it's much worse now.
"So it was born in troubled economic times and it exists in troubled economic times, 30 years later."

I don't have a steamer to steam it first. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that. :) We have a dehydrator, but I'm not sure DH is going to be keen on the idea of using that for my placenta. I've read you can put it in the oven on a cookie sheet (in thin slices) and have the oven on low with the door slightly open until it's dry.
Here is a link I was sent by the gal who did mine last time (we've since moved away and no one here does it).

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
A MAN who discovered a 48-year-old bar of Kendal Mint Cake in his loft believes it may be the oldest-surviving bar of the famous confectionery.
Peter Truelove, 68, of Windermere, bought the bar of Robert Wiper's Original Mint Cake when he and a friend visited Kendal as 21-year-olds in 1964.
The pair were on a 'boy's adventure' which took them from their homes in Kent to John O'Groats, the most northerly point on the Scottish mainland.
"We travelled the distance in an Austin 7 and it took us a week," said Mr Truelove, of Hill Top. "The car only did 35mph at best and it was blizzard weather – the snow was coming into the car.
"We called at Kendal on the way back and we'd heard about the mint cake, so when we saw some we thought we'd buy a bar."
Mr Truelove said he was not sure why he had kept the bar in a box in his loft.
"It was on a shelf as a memento of the trip but it's been in the loft since we moved to Windermere 16 years ago," he said. The bar is still in reasonable condition although some of the sugar is seeping through the wrapping.
Although the original Wipers recipe is still used, the company was sold to Romneys in 1987.
Managing director John Barron said: "We have been making it all these years and I don't think we have any that old – it's impressive.
"It wouldn't do him any harm to eat it now but I don't expect it would taste very nice."
Mr Truelove said what was also interesting to discover was the journal he wrote while travelling, which documented the stop-off in Kendal. He said: "I had to record everything we spent because my friend and I were splitting the cost of the trip. It's funny now to look back and see that someone offered to sell us a car engine and gear box for £2.50, and that 15 litres of petrol was 60p.
"Unfortunately, the price of the mint cake wasn't included, although I did write that we'd visited and purchased it."
ONE of the most important collections of watercolour paintings in the world is heading our way.
More than 40 works from the exquisite holdings of Sir Hickman Beckett Bacon (1855-1945), an avid collector of English watercolours between 1895 and the First World War, will be on show at Abbot Hall Art Gallery, from January 12 until April 14.
Now owned by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the precious paintings will be loaned to the Kendal gallery for its next exhibition - Turner and his Contemporaries: The Hickman Bacon Watercolour Collection.
Abbot Hall chief executive Gordon Watson was thrilled at the prospect of the eminent display, which should have the eyes of the nation's arts world focused on the important regional gallery.
In fact, a fitting time to stage such a grand show as Abbot Hall celebrates a half century since its opened its celebrated doors.
Gordon added: "Fifty years ago on September 28, 1962, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret officially opened the gallery and since then Abbot Hall has established itself as one of the most significant and ambitious galleries in the north of England."
Rarely aired in public, the collection will be shown alongside highlights from Abbot Hall's own permanent collection of watercolours.
Sir Nicholas said that he was delighted to be able to lend the paintings to Abbot Hall.
He continued: "My great uncle Sir Hickman Bacon (Hicky) had unusual tastes for his time and thus the collection is very strong in the type of late, ethereal Turner watercolours that only became widely popular with the advent of abstract painting in the 1940s and 50s. Equally, John Sell Cotman, an artist who had only just emerged from total obscurity, was of particular interest.
"Hicky's collection represents English watercolour painting at its greatest; like so many collectors he was not interested by the fashion of the day, but he was committed to collecting those objects which fulfilled his heartfelt love of beauty."
Born in 1855 into a family of landed gentry, Sir Hickman was educated at Eton. He joined the army, later returning to his old-fashioned family mansion. He suffered from ill health early in his life, and remained a bachelor until he died in 1945. He also collected fabrics, wall hangings, ceramics and Japanese prints – a collection he gave to the Japanese Government.
Abbot Hall collections manager Nick Rogers said that an exhibition of watercolours from the 'remarkable' Hickman Bacon collection was a cause for celebration wherever it was held. He added: "That it is taking place in Kendal, Cumbria, is particularly appropriate, as this is an area that played a significant role in the development of watercolour as the medium of choice for the itinerant artist in the late 18th and early 19th Century."
STUDENTS have been advising Westmorland General Hospital on how it can provide more cost-effective and 'greener' heating.
Sixth-formers from Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy in Lancaster worked with Morecambe Bay NHS Trust on the 'Hands On' project for eight months.
The pupils investigated the hospital's annual energy consumption to see how it could be done differently to cut carbon emissions and suggested using local suppliers as one option.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel des Alpes Lucerne
Some good, some bad
On arrival, the desk clerk was a little officious and was not going to let us into our room one minute before the appointed time. When we finally gained access, we found the room to be most pleasant and comfortable with a wonderful view across the Chapel Bridge.
This proved to be a mixed blessing as the charm of the view was somewhat compromised by the noise emanating at night from the people drinking at the outdoor facilities on the promenade below.
Breakfast was enjoyable in a scenic location and generally we had a pleasant stay but were not made to feel too welcome by the staff and suffered a little from the noise. Also thought that the deposit for a key to our room safe to be a bit much, given that every other hotel on our five week tour provided this facility automatically.
Never Been Disappointed Here -- After Five Visits
I have stayed at the Hotel des Alpes five or six times in the last eight years when I visit the annual Lucerne Festival in September and I have never been disappointed with it, its location, or its thoughtful and helpful staff. Its views -- of the river and of the Alps -- are spectacular and unrivalled except by grand hotels costing much much more. Those concerned about noise should book a room on the side that faces the river and not that which overlooks the street. My guess is that those who had difficulty with the staff were probably pushy or impolite themselves. You cannot match this location at this price.
I will be staying there again later this month -- we'll see how it all holds up.

Okay, but...
We stayed at this hotel for a two night stay on a recent vacation. It was at the recommendation of a neighbor. We did find it to be wonderfully located and close to the train station which was our mode of travel. I had requested a room on a higher floor as recommended by another reviewer but we found ourselves on the bottom floor right near a street light that unfortunately the hotel drapes did not completely shut out at night. We found the desk clerk, Carmen, to not be particularly helpful and somewhat curt. I think on a future visit we would venture to another hotel while we experience this wonderful Swiss town.
Very nice hotel, great location
We spent two nights at the Des Alpes and were very pleased. The staff was courteous and helpful, the room nicely appointed, the bathroom sleek and well lighted and the balcony view fantastic. We arrived prior to normal check in time but the staff had a room ready and allowed us to check in so we had more time to tour the city our first day. Although from the exterior you might expect a charming historical hotel on the inside it is modern. Apparently they have remodeled at least some of the rooms. As far as I could tell the 3rd and 4th floors looked updated. Our bathroom looked to be brand new, totally white, trendy modern fixtures. The bed was firm with good quality eiderdowns, but the highlight was the view.
We requested a room with balcony facing the river and we given room 458 on the non-smoking 4th floor. Balconies on this floor are enclosed unlike those on the lower floors which we liked because of the privacy it offered plus it kept us shielded from the wind on a cool September night.
Breakfast was good, a little more extensive than the other hotels we stayed in on this Swiss vacation. And it was nice that it was warm enough to sit outside on the upper terrace for breakfast with the lovely view. We were unable to eat breakfast our last morning since we had an early departure but the staff opened the breakfast room (about 15 minutes early) and encouraged us to take what we wanted to eat on the train ride.
The location of the hotel couldn't be better for those taking the train and for sightseeing in the central part of town. Lucerne is a great place to stay if you are flying out of the Zurich airport since it's only a one hour direct train ride away.
We would love to return to Lucerne and would stay at the Des Alpes again.
Photos of the room, bath and view are available, if you wish to see them send me an e-mail.
Not Worth It
I chose this hotel exclusively based on the feedbacks I read on Tripadvisor.com, which I typically found very useful. However, for this particular hotel, I found the positively comments I read about it to be grossly exaggerated. In fact, I had the hunch that the positive comments were inputed by the hotel staff themselves. This hotel is located near the Bank of the river in downtown. Good location, but extremely noisy at night. (We were awaken by drunk pedestrian outside; you could well be too) There was no air condition, which was okay. However, the room was small and old even by European standards. For those who are used to North American style of comfort, it is best not to stay in this hotel. For Europeans, I think you can get much better value else where.
In the past, I have always just use the information from this website. However, I felt that I have to leave some comments this time because this hotel is really not worth it.
And Yes, the hotel staff was quite arrogrant, particularly the old woman who seemed as if all the people in the world owe her a million dollar ... it is almost as if she did me and my girlfriend a favor for letting us staying at an old, noisy, overrated and expensive (i.e. we paid the price as advertised on the hotel's website) hotel. Be aware.
Arrogant staff
The hotel was average, Rather little bit expensive for what they were, which was just very basic, exceptionally dark rooms in the city side. and staffs are unkindly and arrogant.
Good hotel but beware of Lucerne spiders
On our recent visit to Lucerne we stayed at Hotel des Alpes and though we had a very small room it was sufficient and the view was spectacular.We overlooked the famous Chapel Bridge and Lake Lucerne.No screens on the windows were a big problem with the heat because of the Lucerne spiders. No one warned us of the spiders though I knew from research they are known to hang from the ceiling of the Chapel Bridge. We had very,very large black spiders in our room that seemed like they flew and would dance on the ceiling.There was a netting screen for the window but it did not deter them.I slept uncomfortably the rest of the time worrying about the spiders which were very unusual looking and scary.The breakfast buffet was adequate and the location was great.Beware of the spiders please. Also beware of the dormer type windows in the higher rooms as I knocked myself out for a minute when I was unpacking my suitcase on the floor and raised up and hit my head on the dormer.
Great location, nice hotel
The hotel is on the river just steps from the train station. The breakfast buffet is quite nice with a wide selection of cold items including yogurt, cheese, cold cuts, cereals, hard-boiled eggs, etc. My room was on the Old Town side but that turned out to be a good thing: the soccer tournament was going on and my friends (with gorgeous lakeside view from their balcony) were kept up by the patrons of the loud, British bar next door. My room (a single) wasn't large but it was comfortable, although the bathroom was a bit cramped. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful.
Great views
The hotel location was great. the room was very clean, and relatively spaceous (not cramped, at least). The balcony overlooking the river was marvelous. The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the rate was very reasonable. We would definitely stay here again!
Awesome views from our room!
We got a room on the 4th floor, with large balcony that had the most spectacular view of Lucerne!! The room is really nothing special and pricey, (but less then some others I had checked.) Great location, kind of a pain to get too if you have too much luggage. It is in the pedestrian zone so you have to park across the river. If you stay, ask for a room as high up as you can (it has 5 floors).

Day 16 - Lake Lucerne and a Snowed in Mt Rigi
After breakfast we headed to the boat station of Lake Lucerne to board our cruise to Vitznau. As we had the Tell Pass, today was to be our second free day, so we didn't need to pay for the cruise. Once on board we opted to pay the small fee to upgrade to first class. I think it was around 6 CHF each, but can't remember for sure. First class …

Today was to be a slightly lazier day spent wandering around Lucerne. We got up and had another delicious breakfast overlooking the Kapelbrucke. Did I mention the wonderful view from our hotel?

Andy Murray has appointed former French tennis great Amelie Mauresmo as his coach.
The Wimbledon champion will work with Maursemo at least through the grass-court season.
Murray said: "I'm excited by the possibilities of the new partnership and Amelie is someone I have always looked up to and admired."
"He's an amazingly talented tennis player and I feel I have plenty to offer both him and the team around him. I'm looking forward to getting down to work and helping him win more Grand Slams," Mauresmo said.
Murray has been without a coach since he parted ways with Ivan Lendl in March.

Front Cover: A method for free radical polymerization induced by visible light has been developed. The polymerization process is controlled in situ by the constant generation of low concentrations of initiator radicals. The light-initiated process is easily and sharply controlled, with no need for preheating or cooling of the reaction mixtures. Polymers with molar mass as high as 5.64 × 105 g mol−1 are achieved.

Egypt's military tries to discredit protesters
The elections were the first since Mubarak's ouster and, by all accounts, have been the freest and fairest in Egypt's modern history. They were the first litmus test of the strength of Egypt's post-revolutionary political forces.
The Islamist groups that won an overwhelming majority of the seats contested so far have stayed clear of the latest protests, fearing their participation would jeopardize their electoral gains.
The military's heavy-handedness drew the ire of the U.N.'s human rights chief on Monday. Navi Pillay called on the ruling generals to arrest and prosecute military and security officials behind the latest crackdown. Pillay called the graphic images of protesters being smashed on the head and body with clubs long after they stopped resisting "utterly shocking." She also demanded a full investigation into all killings, torture and use of excessive force in Egypt in recent months.
Emara, the Egyptian general, said the security forces have a duty to protect the nation's installations and cannot stand by while protesters try to destroy state property.
"What are we supposed to do when protesters break the law? Should we invite people from abroad to govern our nation?" said Emara. He said an investigation into the clashes and the media's coverage of them was under way.
The general showed footage at his news conference clearly aimed at discrediting those involved in the protest movement.
One image was clearly designed to raise questions about a female detainee's morals. It showed the woman talking about her husband, but then later saying she was not married to her partner. The military has been accused of other forms of sexual harassment of female detainees since it has been in power. Human rights groups say they administered "virginity tests" to some.
In footage Emara said was taken by the military, men appeared to be rejoicing over setting a government building ablaze. Other images showed a male protester romantically embracing a young woman.
Another video showed a young man in detention saying that prominent publisher Mohammed Hashem was using his downtown Cairo office near Tahrir as headquarters for an incitement ring, distributing food, helmets and gas masks to protesters. Hashem is a lifelong leftist credited with publishing young novelists and poets whose works have over the past decade become the nation's literary landmarks. His Merit publishing house is a gathering place for young, left-leaning intellectuals, who often congregate there to discuss politics and culture.
Other footage showed a young protester who said he was being paid about $20 a day to pelt security forces with rocks.
There were also images of some two dozen detained young men, their faces bruised and bleeding, squatting on the floor while army soldiers stood over them.
Ahmed Saad, a field hospital doctor who witnessed the early Monday crackdown, said six people were killed by gunshots, giving a toll twice that of the Health Ministry's. He said troops stormed a mosque on the square that is partially used as a hospital, beating up protesters who spent the night inside.
"It was like a rain of bullets in the early morning," he said.

Hunting rules for the parks will not change because of this law. Currently, hunting is allowed in cordoned-off locations in 42 parks, but only after the peak tourist season.
Barna said visitors do need to be aware of the changes in laws across state lines within the parks. For instance, Yellowstone crosses into Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, which all have differing gun laws.
While some visitors might be apprehensive to visit the parks now, Barna pointed out that others who have stayed away because of the gun restrictions might now be more willing to visit.
Arulanandam said the NRA lobbied for the change for seven or eight years. The measure gained momentum after 2008 when the Supreme Court struck down a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., and declared that individuals have a constitutional right to possess firearms for self-defense and other purposes.
The national park gun law change was included in an amendment to the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights Act of 2009, authored by Senator Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and signed into law by President Obama on May 22, 2009.
"We think wherever Teddy Roosevelt is, he's got to be rolling his eyes and shaking his head, said Peter Hamm, communications director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "The national parks are places of solitude and quiet and places to get away from the large number of firearms they are already seeing in society."
The Brady Campaign sued the government to block the rules change. The courts initially sided with the Brady campaign before Congress passed a law overturning that decision.

26 year old man | Olmos Park, TX, USA | Seeking women 18-22 within 50 miles of San Antonio, TX
Relationships start with a friendship they say
I'm a hard working self employed individual. My definition of fun is playing geeky card games and traveling around the country for said tournaments of geeky card games photography. I'm a confident nice guy who knows what I can and can't do, and love to admit my mistakes to learn from then sooner. I don't drink, smoke nor party but that just means I get to be creative on what fun really is. I'm aware this "good guy" nature of mine is a turnoff for some women, but those aren't the people I want in my life, looking for the equally good girls. I always keep my emotions in check, which makes me seem aloof to people who barely know me, but once you do I'm sure you'll have a blast. Also I'm the best person to be around 1-on-1, but I shut down when a third person is in the mix. One of my negatives I know, but just something I'm working on. Looking for a woman who isn't afraid to smile, be perky and overall has a sense of humor. Someone who values fitness and doesn't mind watching a movie at home instead of going out is also a plus.
Movies/Videos , Playing cards , Video games , Watching sports
Billiards / Pool, Soccer, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
Don't go out much right now due to work, but I'm open to suggestions from my date. I'm always open to new experiences.
Latest technology, watching soccer games from Europe occasionally, playing a few rounds of Halo whenever I get the chance and just going to the park to relax for a bit.
Love going to the movies, playing video games, geeky card games and occasionally playing pool.

Newspaper distributor to do same-day delivery for Amazon
It's Thursday. Here's a pop quiz: How many media stories do you think you're about to get?
- UK newspaper distributor will do same-day Amazon deliveries: "Connect Group will make early morning deliveries at the same time as it delivers daily newspapers and use contractors to fulfill a second delivery in the afternoon." Connect distributes The Guardian and The Mirror, Rory Gallivan reports. (Wall Street Journal)
- Longtime S.F. Chronicle editor William German dies at 95: "Mr. German began his career at the paper as a copy boy. When he retired 62 years later, he was the dean of West Coast editors. He had helped transform The Chronicle from the No.3 newspaper in a four-newspaper city to the largest paper in Northern California." (San Francisco Chronicle)
- BBC battles Ebola in Africa with WhatsApp: "The service will deliver information on preventative care, health tips and breaking news bulletins specific to the region about the virus in French and English, and often in audio formats," writes Alastair Reid.

A hypothetical book design—part of the Museum of Modern Perception's collector's series "The Anatomy of:"
The Anatomy of Avant Garde Classical Music is catered toward elitist musicians or those very well-informed on the subject matter. This unusually specific target-audience allowed me to experiment with costume type and a distorted visual language throughout the book in order to emphasize this concept of exclusivity.
Accessibility is an issue with every design produced. Placing this book on one end of the spectrum creates an interesting perspective on what a conventional book should consist of.

|While a Washington Post piece gave extensive coverage to the Post's favorite deficit hawks in a piece on the budget deficit, it did not include anyone who could present the basic economic facts to readers. The reason the deficit expanded from just a bit more than 1.0 percent of GDP in 2007 to more than 10 percent of GDP in 2009 and 2010 was that the economy plunged following the collapse of the housing bubble. The deficit was and is filling in a demand gap in the private sector as a result of this collapse.
The fact that deficit hawks would not allow the government to spend more money is keeping the economy from returning to full employment. As a result, close to 9 million people are out of work who would be employed if the economy were operating near its potential. This is forcing millions of children to grow up in families with one or both parents unemployed. It would have been helpful if the Post had presented the view of someone familiar with basic economics who could have reminded readers of these facts.
It also would have been helpful to include the views of someone who could have ridiculed the obsession with a debt to GDP number. When interest rates rise, as the Congressional Budget Office projects, the price of the long-term debt that we are issuing today (e.g. 10-year and 30-year bonds) will plummet. This means that the government could buy these bonds back at sharp discount rates eliminating trillions of dollars in debt. (For example, a 30-year bond issued with a 2.75 percent interest rate last year, would sell for less than 60 cents on the dollar in 2016 if the interest rate has risen to 6.0 percent. This would mean that if we bought back 30-year bonds with a face value of $2 trillion, it would only cost us $1.2 trillion. This would instantly eliminate $800 billion in debt, lowering our debt to GDP ratio by roughly 5 percentage points.)
This move would be completely pointless since it would not change our interest burden at all. But since Washington budget wonks seem to think the debt to GDP ratio is hugely important, it would be a very simple and costless way to make them all very happy. It would have been useful for the Post to note this so that its readers would realize that the budget debate in Washington is pretty much complete nonsense from an economic standpoint.
Blast from the Past. At Daily Kos on this date in 2004—Pure and Simple: Equal Rights:
|Thirty years ago this month, Right-to-Life activists in Boulder, Colorado—scurrilously egged on by the local, chain-owned daily newspaper—challenged one of the nation's earliest tendrils of what they called the "gay agenda."
Then, as now, the gay agenda was a quintessential American agenda— the acquisition of equal legal protection by yet another group of our country's second-class citizens. At issue in Boulder was not gay marriage or civil union, but another basic right: non-discrimination in employment. Shortly before Christmas, 1973, the nine-member city council—with its two-year-old liberal majority at the helm—passed one of the first four or five such ordinances in the U.S. Some gay activists and progressives to the left of the council had wanted something more: a clause proscribing non-discrimination in accommodations.
The legislation was initiated by Mayor Penfield Tate II, elected by the unpaid council as the first black mayor in Colorado history, chosen in a city with less than 2% African-Americans. A lesbian acquaintance told Tate she had been fired specifically because of her sexual orientation. Tate knew about injustice first-hand. And he saw the matter quite simply: an abrogation of the constitutional right of every American not to be legally diminished for background or belief or biology.

I'm picking Shane, dude is hungry for a win, after a.one sided loss, and a boring draw. Shane was one sided against Floyd, because Floyd took away his strengths, his power and speed. Manny doesn't take away your strengths, he attempts to and does overwhelm you, which he can't try to overwhelm Shane in the early rounds, because if Manny has a weakness its his defense and counter shots. So this could start off as a very good fight, I just hope Shane doesn't gas out, and catch a beaten. I can just see ways Shane could beat him, so I'm picking him

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is starting special courses on sustainable agriculture and food security for northeastern India.
The northeastern region, comprising eight States, covers 7.7 per cent of India's geographical area but produces only 1.5 per cent of the country's foodgrains. Seventy per cent of the region's 40 million people depend on agriculture and allied sectors, underlining the need for special education in these fields.
"As agricultural education and extension services play an important role in making agriculture an instrument of social and economic development, the extension, education, awareness and research system need to be strengthened, systematised and updated," B.S. Hansra, professor in IGNOU's school of agriculture here, told IANS.
IGNOU set up a national centre for open and distance learning in research and training in agriculture (ICRTA) in Tripura, capital of Agartala, last November to develop human resource for agriculture and agro-based industries through open and distance learning.
The ICRTA on Monday held a brainstorming session here on capacity building and vocational and non-formal education in agriculture. Top officials of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), IGNOU's regional directors, experts, NGO representatives, forest officials and professionals from different States of the region took part.
The session was chaired by R.K. Samanta, vice-chancellor of the Bidhan Chandra agricultural university in West Bengal. The experts finalised 12 entrepreneurship development courses for seven of the northeastern States, excluding Assam.
Mr. Hansra, who is also director of ICRTA, said: "IGNOU's main objective is to reach the unreached farmers, entrepreneurs, unemployed people and various stakeholders through diverse modes for sustainable development of agriculture and allied sectors."
The new courses, to be conducted in English and local languages, include horticulture nursery management, honey production and processing, value addition in fruits and vegetables, bio-fertilizer and bio-pesticides production, livestock production and management, fish production and management, mushroom production and marketing, production and marketing of turmeric and orchids, pig farming and production and value addition to the famous chillies of the region.
"To conduct these courses, audiovisual methods and other conventional systems would be used to reach and cover all stakeholders," said Mr. Hansra.
Mr. Samanta said: "Sharing and access to knowledge and training about new technologies, prices of inputs and outputs, distribution channels, weather, water, power and livestock management, quantity and quality of natural resources, credit, insurance, marketability, basic improved resources to the masses by the education and extension system are crucial to enhance the income of farmers and make the sector a source of prosperity."
Maharashtra's Yashwantrao Chavan Open University's school of agricultural sciences director Surya Gunjal said: "Exploitation of huge untapped land and vegetation of northeastern India is essential for the economic prosperity of the backward region."
ICRTA now has seven areas of focus:
* Development of distance education and extension models and tools;
* Development of information and communication system for agriculture management systems;
* Development of resource materials for training in distance education through printed materials, video, audio and computer mediated programmes;
* Capacity building and competencies upgradation of various stakeholders in agriculture sector;
* Conduct of vocational training and non-formal education programmes on various aspects of agriculture;
* Implementation of school of agriculture programmes in northeast region; and
* Action research on agriculture education and extension.
ICRTA's regional director Kiran Sankar Chakraborty said: "A six-month course on leather goods was undertaken by this regional centre for the northeast earlier. As it was so successful, the course is now being carried out in other parts of the country."

Previous imaging studies assessing the relationship between white matter (WM) damage and matter (GM) atrophy have raised the concern that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) WM lesions may affect measures of GM volume by inducing voxel misclassification during intensity-based tissue segmentation. Here, we quantified this misclassification error in simulated and real MS brains using a lesion-filling method. Using this method, we also corrected GM measures in patients before comparing them with controls in order to assess the impact of this lesion-induced misclassification error in clinical studies. We found that higher WM lesion volumes artificially reduced total GM volumes. In patients, this effect was about 72% of that predicted by simulation. Misclassified voxels were located at the GM/WM border and could be distant from lesions. Volume of individual deep gray matter (DGM) structures generally decreased with higher lesion volumes, consistent with results from total GM. While preserving differences in GM volumes between patients and controls, lesion-filling correction revealed more lateralised DGM shape changes in patients, which were not evident with the original images. Our results confirm that WM lesions can influence MRI measures of GM volume and shape in MS patients through their effect on intensity-based GM segmentation. The greater effect of lesions at increasing levels of damage supports the use of lesion-filling to correct for this problem and improve the interpretability of the results. Volumetric or morphometric imaging studies, where lesion amount and characteristics may vary between groups of patients or change over time, may especially benefit from this correction.

USDA chief: Rural America becoming less relevant
"Our role is to defend our producers and our industry in what we feel are issues important to us," he said.
Weber agreed, though, that rural America is declining in influence. He said he is concerned that there are not enough lawmakers from rural areas and complained that Congress doesn't understand farm issues. He added that the farm industry needs to communicate better with consumers.
"There's a huge communication gap" between farmers and the food-eating public, he said.
Vilsack, who has made the revitalization of rural America a priority, encouraged farmers to embrace new kinds of markets, work to promote global exports and replace a "preservation mindset with a growth mindset." He said they also need to embrace diversity because it is an issue important to young people who are leaving rural areas.
"We've got something to market here," he said. "We've got something to be proactive about. Let's spend our time and our resources and our energy doing that and I think if we do we're going to have a lot of young people who want to be part of that future."
