WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon inquiry into a Rolling Stone magazine profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal that led to his dismissal as the top US commander in Afghanistan has cleared him of wrongdoing.
The probe's results released Monday also called into question the accuracy of the magazine's report last June, which quoted anonymously people around McChrystal making disparaging remarks about members of President Barack Obama's national security team, including Vice President Joe Biden.
At the time he dismissed McChrystal, Obama said the general had fallen short of "the standard that should be set by a commanding general." The Defense Department inspector general's report, however, concluded that available evidence did not support the conclusion that McChrystal had violated any applicable legal or ethics standard.
Last week the White House tapped McChrystal to head a new advisory board to support military families, an initiative led by First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of the vice president. The selection of McChrystal was announced on April 12, four days after the inspector general's report was finished.
The report's conclusions were first reported Monday by The New York Times, which obtained it under a Freedom of Information Act request. The Pentagon subsequently posted the report on its website.
The inspector general's report said it reviewed an unpublished Army investigation of the case and interviewed numerous eyewitnesses. It said McChrystal declined an invitation to provide sworn testimony, saying he had already testified to Army investigators. He also declined to comment on the IG's conclusions.
The Pentagon inquiry also concluded that not all of the events at issue happened as reported in the Rolling Stone article.
"In some instances, we found no witnesses who acknowledged making or hearing the comments as reported," the Pentagon report said. "In other instances, we confirmed that the general substance of an incident at issue occurred, but not in the exact context described in the article."
Attempts by The AP to get comment from Rolling Stone weren't immediately successful.
After the Rolling Stone article was published, McChrystal was summoned to the White House and dismissed. He was replaced by Gen. David Petraeus.
Obama at the time called the dismissal the right decision for U.S. national security and said McChrystal's conduct represented in the magazine article also "undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system. And it erodes the trust that's necessary for our team to work together to achieve our objectives in Afghanistan."

Capital win best barista title
Nick Clark takes out national coffee champs
Relevant offers
Cafe Scene
Wellington coffee is officially the best in the country after Flight Coffee's Nick Clark took out the national barista title this weekend.
Competing for his fifth year in a row, Mr Clark wowed the judges with his espresso, cappuccino and signature coffees in yesterday's grand final.
Mr Clark, a part owner at Flight Coffee, beat dozens of competitors to take out the title that will now see him travel to Melbourne to compete at the World Barista Championship International Final in May.
"I'm just chuffed with how well everything has gone especially given there was some real hot talent to compete against,'' he said.
"I've been doing this a few years so I have a good idea of what the judges are looking for and it all came together well.''
Head judge Jessica Godfrey said they were looking for someone who could push the boundaries and challenge their understanding of coffee.
"Nick impressed the judges on every level, from flavour and quality to his creative and engaging performance,'' she said.

by VyckieLibby Anne makes an astute point in her recent post at Love, Joy, Feminism: Vision Forum focuses on problems in society, inflates them, and then blames feminism and modernity. Then Vision Forum seeks to fix the problems by turning back the clock to a time that never existed. The version of the past that Vision Forum sells is a myth. The problems we face in society today are not new. Substance abuse, the challenges of balancing motherhood and work, and the devaluation of women have always been with us. Looking back to some idealized imaginary past where families had no problems, mothers happily stayed home and devoted their time to raising their children, and women were valued … [Read more...]

The Beautiful Girlhood Doll ~ Part 9: The Broken Doll

What were my parents going to think about my new beliefs on evolution, the Bible, the pro-life movement, and female equality? For a few weeks I said nothing, afraid of what would happen when I did. But the longer I listened to my parents praising me for my steadfast beliefs and condemning evolution and liberal college professors the more I realized I couldn't hide my changes in belief. And so I told them. I was used to being only praised and affirmed, so telling my parents about my changing beliefs was probably the hardest thing I … [Read more...]

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
18 May 2013 02:31 GMT | Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, United States
Two commuter trains serving the US city of New York have collided in Connecticut state during evening rush hour, injuring at least 49 people, authorities say.
There have been no reports of fatalities in the Friday collision.
The Metro-North Railroad, a commuter line serving the northern suburbs, said a "major derailment" had occurred near Fairfield, just outside the town of Bridgeport.
It said emergency workers were at the scene of the accident, which occured shortly after 6:00pm local time (2200 GMT) on Friday.
Bill Kaempffer, a spokesman for Bridgeport public safety, told The Associated Press that about 49 people were injured, including four with serious injuries.
About 250 people were on board the two trains, he said.
Cause unknown
Photos taken at the scene showed a train car askew on the rails, with one end smashed and brushing against another train. Amtrak suspended service indefinitely between New York and Boston.
"At this stage, we don't know if this is a mechanical failure, an accident or something deliberate," Lt James Perez, a spokesperson for Fairfield police, told the Connecticut Post.
The railroad said a train that departed New York City's Grand Central station en route to New Haven derailed. A westbound train on an adjacent track then struck the derailed train.
Some cars on the second train also derailed as a result of the collision.
Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett said everybody who needed treatment had been attended to, and authorities were beginning to turn their attention to investigating the cause.

Falling branches damage two campsites
Two families had narrow misses with red gums which dropped their limbs on their campsites recently.JESS CRAIG January 31, 2014 4:20am
Two families were lucky to escape injury or death when huge branches fell from two red gums earlier this month.
The branches, which fell in two consecutive weeks at different camping areas on the outskirts of Echuca, destroyed two cars and came within metres of a tent.
The first branch fell around 2am, crushing a Holden Commodore and leaving campers in shock.
A week later, a second branch fell just after a family had exited their four-wheel drive to check fishing lines at their campsite.
It came within metres of a tent where they had been sleeping during their holiday.
Their four-wheel drive was destroyed.
The branches fell at campsites around Pianta Rd.
Echuca-Moama Search and Rescue was called to help remove the huge, heavy branches at both incidents.
Mr Rowe said he was shocked by the damage and echoed his colleague's calls for people to take care when camping in the area.
''It's a reminder to people to look up before they set up,'' he said.
''These trees are dangerous, particularly on hot and still days.
''The river banks and campsites are covered with red gums.
''The branches are heavy and if they come down on you, they can severely injure or kill you.
''Don't underestimate the danger.''

Good cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein (HDL), helps prevent fat and cholesterol from clogging your arteries. A higher HDL number (> 60 mg/dl of blood) is better. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered bad cholesterol. It carries cholesterol to your arteries and can cause them to become blocked. A lower LDL number (< 100 mg/dl) is better. High-LDL or low-HDL cholesterol levels are major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Visit this American Hearth Association web page for more information.

What do you put in your body to boost your performance, increase your energy, shed pounds, build muscle, or otherwise supplement your diet? What's in that drink, pill, or powder? What will it do for you? What will it do to you? Is it worth the risk?
More and more Warfighters are taking dietary supplements, most without being fully informed that some of the ingredients could have harmful side effects. HPRC has just unveiled its Dietary Supplement Classification System to provide this kind of information and help you make informed decisions about a particular supplement. To start exploring this new resource, visit HPRC's new web pages. If you have a question, contact us via "Ask the Expert."
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to stop using multiple weight-loss products that contain the undeclared drug ingredient sibutramine, which was removed from the market in 2010 for safety reasons and may present significant risks for those with coronary artery disease and other heart issues.

Warfighters must be in excellent physical condition to endure a variety of physical tasks for extended periods. Healthy eating will greatly affect your physical performance. For good health and performance, eat the energy-providing nutrients (known as macronutrients)—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These foods supply fuel and are involved in many functions in your body. For detailed information on each of the macronutrients, see the Warfighter Nutrition Guide.
Whether you are at home or on operations, healthy snacking can sustain your mind and body so your performance is maximized. Keep high-nutrient foods on hand at home, while at work, or during night operations. For specific suggestions and tips on healthy snacking, see the Warfighter Nutrition Guide.

Product description
Penned by a scholar who was personally involved in research into the enigmatic young pharaoh, this comprehensive and fully illustrated new study reviews the current state of our knowledge about the life, death, and burial of Tutankhamun in light of the latest investigations and newest technology. Zahi Hawass places the king in the broader context of Egyptian history, unraveling the intricate and much debated relationship between various members of the royal family, and the circumstances surrounding the turbulent Amarna period. He also succinctly explains the religious background and complex beliefs in the afterlife that defined and informed many features of Tutankhamun's tomb. The history of the exploration of the Valley of the Kings is discussed, as well as the background and mutual relationships of the main protagonists. The tomb and the most important finds are described and illustrated, and the modern X-raying and CT-scanning of the king's mummy are presented in detail. The description of the latest DNA examination of the mummies of Tutankhamun and members of his family is one of the most absorbing parts of the book and demonstrates that scientific methods may produce results that cannot be paralleled by traditional Egyptology.

Zahi Hawass is one of the world's best known Egyptologists, and a former Egyptian minister of state for antiquities. He is the author of many books on ancient Egypt, including several on Tutankhamun.
Review quote
"This is a work by a man who passionately loves Egypt's past and is not afraid of controversy. There is nothing like reading a book that contains first-hand recollections and impressions, bringing to life an exacting academic topic. Dr Hawass does this in masterly fashion." - from the Foreword by Jaromir Malek

Usually golf courses and senior citizen living options go together. Generally, though, they don't share the same land. Due to increasing water supply issues, the Bottle Creek Golf Course could see a new life as an aging-in-place residential area if the city approves zoning changes. As general manager Mary Rentfro says, "There isn't sufficient water for us to sustain a golf course." After meeting with neighbors and discussing options the senior residential development emerged as the most popular idea. The golf course would turn into a mix of single-family dwellings and park areas. A care facility would also be built to assist older citizens, allowing residents to remain in their neighborhood even as their needs change, says Rentfro. After applying for a zone change this spring, owner Terry Kelly now must wait for the city's approval before beginning a subdivision application.
A 146-acre site remains up for grabs after Wal-Mart declined to build a warehouse on state-owned Mill Creek land. Wal-Mart, which would have spent $140,000 per acre for the lot, would have been one of the first companies to begin developing at Mill Creek. Of the 650 acres, 515 are available for purchase, the rest set aside as a wetlands park. According to city manager Bob Wells, while the area is surplus state land it remains within the city's urban renewal area. Salem will provide the infrastructure necessary for development such as water connections and streets.

Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott backs 'strong' Joe Hart to pull through
Published: 05 October 2013
Updated: 02:15, 06 October 2013
Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott backed Joe Hart to come through the criticism being thrown his way after the England goalkeeper helped his club to a 3-1 victory over Everton on Saturday.
Despite his refusal to confirm that Hart would start following his midweek mistakes against Bayern Munich, City boss Manuel Pellegrini showed faith in the 26-year-old while changing more than half his team.
"We never doubted Joe and were never concerned with is form or ability," Lescott told BT Sport 1 on his England team-mate. "Joe's a strong enough man. He can deal with anything that's put on his shoulders."
Defeats by Aston Villa and Bayern Munich had made this a vital game for City and under-pressure Hart, and they responded in style at the Etihad Stadium to end Everton's unbeaten start to the Barclays Premier League season.
Romelu Lukaku put the Toffees ahead in the 16th minute but Alvaro Negredo equalised a minute later and Sergio Aguero struck to give the hosts the lead just before half-time.
The unlucky Tim Howard then diverted in a third in the 69th minute after initially saving Aguero's penalty.
"We went behind but showed great character to get back into the game and dominate from then on," Lescott said.
"I felt we had a few more chances in the first half and maybe we could have done better, but we (showed) our desire and commitment to the game throughout 90 minutes."
Lescott acknowledged it was important for City to get back to winning ways heading into the international break.
"I think it's probably come at the right time, going into the international break," he said. "We can't dwell on it for too long.
"Obviously now we can go away and gear up for something different - qualifying for the World Cup - and then come back and refocus on the Premier League."

Post-match quotes: D.C. United 2 - New England Revolution 1
D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen
On substituting Lewis Neal for Branko Boskovic:
D.C. United 6, Real Salt Lake 4 | MLS Match Recap
WASHINGTON - It seems like D.C. United have been making a habit of giving up early goals. And it also seems like they've been making a habit of coming from behind to erase them.
D.C. United acquire forward Álvaro Saborío
D.C. United announced that it has acquired Costa Rican forward Álvaro Saborío from Real Salt Lake in exchange for forward Luis Silva. Saborío will join the Black-and-Red following the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"Saborío has been a proven goal scorer throughout his career, especially in Major League Soccer," D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper said. "He's a true No. 9 that will provide an immediate spark to our offense."
Post-Match Quotes: June 14, 2015 ORL vs DCU
Head Coach Adrian Heath:
On the game:
Orlando City SC 1, D.C. United 0 | MLS Match Recap
D.C. United knew all week that their Sunday evening encounter with Orlando City SC wouldn't be an easy task.
D.C. United, Montego Bay and Árabe Unido in Group H for 2015-16 CCL
D.C. United has been drawn into Group H for the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League.
Busy D.C. United take "a lot of positives" from reshuffled lineup's performance in Portland loss
After using a midweek cross-country trip as a reason to field an experimental starting XI vs. the Portland Timbers on Wednesday, D.C. United coach Ben Olsen didn't hide his feelings about his side's busy May.
"To turn around come Wednesday, and to fly on Thursday and play on a Saturday, I've said it before – it's silly to ask guys to do that," Olsen said following United's 1-0 loss to the Timbers at Providence Park.
Post-Match Facts: New England vs D.C. United May 23, 2015
Washington, D.C. (May 24, 2015) – D.C. United (6-2-4, 22 points) remains at the top of the Eastern Conference after a 1-1 tie again the New England Revolution (5-3-5; 20 points).
D.C. United pleased with road point, despite failing to fully capitalize on two-man advantage in New England
Heading into their match-up with the New England Revolution on Saturday evening, Ben Olsen's banged-up D.C. United side likely would've been content with a draw. Facing a Revs side that hadn't lost at home in nearly a year and preparing to travel cross-country for a midweek match-up against Portland, a road point likely would've satisfied United, for the time being keeping them atop the Eastern Conference.

Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of The Clorox Company (CLX). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:
Company Description: The Clorox Company is a diversified producer of household cleaning, grocery, and specialty food products is also a leading producer of natural personal care products.
Fair Value: In calculating fair value, I consider the NPV MMA Differential Fair Value along with these four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Avg. High Yield Price
2. 20-Year DCF Price
3. Avg. P/E Price
4. Graham Number
CLX is trading at a discount to only 1.) above. Since CLX's tangible book value is not meaningful, a Graham number can not be calculated. The stock is trading at a 7.5% discount to its calculated fair value of $74.92. CLX earned a Star in this section since it is trading at a fair value.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Free Cash Flow Payout
2. Debt To Total Capital
3. Key Metrics
4. Dividend Growth Rate
5. Years of Div. Growth
6. Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%
CLX earned two Stars in this section for 1.) and 3.) above. A Star was earned since the Free Cash Flow payout ratio was less than 60% and there were no negative Free Cash Flows over the last 10 years. CLX earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1968 and has increased its dividend payments for 35 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA) or Treasury bond? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. NPV MMA Diff.
2. Years to > MMA
CLX earned a Star in this section for its NPV MMA Diff. of the $1,441. This amount is in excess of the $500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as CLX has. If CLX grows its dividend at 9.3% per year, it will take 3 years to equal a MMA yielding an estimated 20-year average rate of 4.%. CLX earned a check for the Key Metric 'Years to >MMA' since its 3 years is less than the 5 year target.
Memberships and Peers: CLX is a member of the S&P 500, a Dividend Aristocrat and a member of the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index and a Dividend Champion. The company's peer group includes: Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) with a 3.2% yield, Colgate-Palmolive Co. (CL) with a 2.7% yield, and Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB) with a 4.1% yield.
Conclusion: CLX earned one Star in the Fair Value section, earned two Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and earned one Star in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of four Stars. This quantitatively ranks CLX as a 4 Star-Buy.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to increase to $96.07 before CLX's NPV MMA Differential decreased to the $500 minimum that I look for in a stock with 35 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 1.24%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $500 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is 6.2%. This dividend growth rate is below the 9.3% used in this analysis, thus providing a margin of safety. CLX has a risk rating of 1.25 which classifies it as a Low risk stock.
As a consumer goods company, CLX sells products with a stable demand that are generally not affected by changes in the economy. Its products are well known and include these popular brands: Fresh Step, Brita, Glad, Pine-Sol, Hidden Valley, Scoop Away, K C Masterpiece, S.O.S., Kingsford, Tilex, Formula 409, Liquid-Plumr, and, of coarse, its namesake product, Clorox. The company's presence in the natural home/personal care products arena through Burt's Bees and GreenWorks is viewed positively by environmentalists.
Although the stock is trading below my calculated fair value of $74.92, I am hesitant to add to my position due to its Debt To Total Capital of 103%. I would like to see this number come down some before buying.
Disclaimer: Material presented here is for informational purposes only. The above quantitative stock analysis, including the Star rating, is mechanically calculated and is based on historical information. The analysis assumes the stock will perform in the future as it has in the past. This is generally never true. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I was long in CLX (0.4% of my Income Portfolio); in addition, I held positions in PG, CL and KMB. See a list of all my income holdings my income holdings here.

Our research is on ice due to shortage of helium
Friday 04 January 2013
At the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity, we have had to temporarily shut down our cryogenic laboratory equipment.
Our multimillion-pound magnetoencephalography (MEG) facility must operate at temperatures of near-absolute-zero degrees Kelvin (-273C), but this month they will not be maintained due to yet another interruption in our helium supply – only liquid helium can cool to such extreme temperatures.
This is not the first time we have had to halt operations over the past 12 months, and we fear more difficulties over the coming year.
Despite the apparent abundance of helium as cheap gas for filling party balloons, industrial-grade liquid helium is a precious commodity, and it is increasingly difficult to secure supplies. Intermittent supplies are extremely disruptive to our research programme, and jeopardise the basic viability of the centre.
The US government is currently the largest helium supplier, but in recent years privatisation has led to a rapid sell-off of the National Helium Reserve. This fire-sale has distorted the helium market, causing turmoil in global supplies.
Like so many natural resources, it is inevitable that demand will out-strip supply. Although the time scale of effective helium depletion cannot be predicted with certainty, most estimates range between 30 and 50 years. Alternatives are available for some usages. For many cryogenics uses, however, there is no equivalent. Without helium, there is simply no other way to cool matter so close to absolute zero.

We have the first signs of Gawker Media's anticipated new commenting system — Gawker users are being asked to update their registration in preparation for the changeover to what's been code-named Pow-Wow.
We don't yet know a ton about Pow-Wow, but it appears to center around creating limited-access comments for people with significant knowledge of the post's subject. Nick Denton talked about this at SXSW. ("The ultimate goal of the new system, Denton said, would be to attract people like American Apparel's Dov Charney or NBC's Brian Williams — who are at the center of news on Gawker sites — to chime in themselves.") And you may remember a Nick Denton memo (via David Carr at the Times) from January touching on the subject:
The new comment system (coming in the spring) is designed to promote intelligent discussion. And there's no better way to spark intelligent discussion than by publishing an intelligent article. We plan to make the new discussion areas civil enough to encourage authors, experts and celebrities to come in for open Web chats. But writers should feel the comments are a place that you can develop your points with your sources, tipsters and friends. You should be looking forward to seeing the reaction to your article, not avoiding toxic commenters. So we'll radically overhaul the comment system technically to keep interesting conversations from being derailed.
