The People's Republic of China's (PRC) notoriously opaque nuclear arsenal could be much bigger than the estimates prevalent in the United States—up to 1,800 warheads as opposed to the 300 or 400 currently thought—according to a report authored by a retired Russian colonel general.
In addition, the report says that the PRC has rail-mounted intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, and nuclear warheads on a series of ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) and cruise missiles—statements that contradict dominant understandings of China's nuclear posture.
Viktor Yesin, the former chief of the main staff of the Strategic Rocket Forces and currently professor at the Academy of Military Sciences, published his view in the military publication Military-Industrial Courier in early May.
He writes that Chinese factories that supply fissile material could have as of 2011 produced 40 tons of weapons-grade uranium and about 10 tons of weapons-grade plutonium, enough for a total of 3,600 nuclear warheads.
Yesin reasons that about half of this fissile material would not be used in warheads, but for stockpiles or other uses. Of the 1,600–1,800 warheads that were probably built, in Yesin's view, perhaps 800–900 would be operationally deployed with the rest in storage, he says.
A translation of Yesin's journal article, which runs to nine pages in English, was disseminated by Phillip Karber of the Asian Arms Control Project, which focuses on the strategic implications of the PRC's nuclear weapons buildup.
Karber's research on the PRC's network of underground tunnels used for storing nuclear weapons has previously drawn controversy, particularly from the arms control community.
In this case, views of the Russian colonel general's warhead estimates are no different, where an analysis of the recent report becomes an exercise in examining the wider debate about the PRC's nuclear posture.
Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, who also blogs on arms control issues, wrote in an email commenting on Yesin's journal article that the retired general's views, which he was already familiar with, are "exaggerated" and "alarmist." Lewis also questioned the veracity and provenance of the information.
On the other side, Richard Fisher, an analyst of the PRC's military modernization and senior research fellow with the International Assessments and Strategy Center, says, "Gen. Yesin has dropped a nuclear bomb on the hubris of the American arms control community."
Yesin is a prominent commentator on strategic issues in Russia, and according to an introduction prepared by the Asian Arms Control Project "is viewed as an authoritative source closely associated with Russian government positions."
"Over the last 15 years he has been a major adviser to Putin," Karber says, adding that Yesin would have a close understanding of the PRC's nuclear arsenal in part due to extensive contacts over several decades between the two powers, and access he may have to classified sources.
Apart from the large estimates of warheads that Yesin gives—which agree with estimates Karber gave in a previous study on the PRC's underground tunnel network—Yesin's remarks about rail-mounted ICBMs equipped with nuclear warheads are significant in Karber's view.
When you have that degree of mobility you can't track how many there are. They drive into a rail tunnel and you can't tell if there are 20 in there or only 1.
"When you have that degree of mobility you can't track how many there are. They drive into a rail tunnel and you can't tell if there are 20 in there or only 1," Karber said. Such weapons could be used as a first strike against enemy forces or as a second strike capability against cities.
The idea of rail-mounted nuclear weapons and nuclear warheads on ballistic and cruise missiles—hundreds of them at least, according to Karber—upends the assumption that the PRC has a small nuclear force focused solely on deterrence.
The assumption that the PRC does have such a small force is shared by Jeffrey Lewis and others in the arms control community. They say that only insufficient evidence, or in some cases recycled, discredited claims or other misinformation, has been put forward to disrupt these basic assumptions.
A practical issue raised by Yesin's report is the possibility of a nuclear arms race as countries in the PRC's periphery seek to gain a semblance of nuclear parity in the face of the PRC's enormous arsenal.
Those countries, which currently see themselves under America's security umbrella, could feel that the United States was unable to protect them.
Fisher said, "By building to a level of superiority in nuclear weapons, China could cause the greatest period of nuclear proliferation in the world, as Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam, and others could all rush to develop their own deterrent nuclear forces."

WORCESTER, Mass. - Junior forward Eric Meister (Boalsburg, Pa.) had a career-high 19 points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots, to lead the Holy Cross men's basketball team to a 61-44 victory over Colgate at the Hart Center in the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament. Meister hit nine out of 10 shots from the floor on the day, setting a new school-record for best field goal percentage in a Patriot League Tournament game (90.0 percent). Holy Cross improves to 18-13 overall, and advances to the Patriot League championship game, where it will play at American on Friday, March 13, at 4:45 p.m. Colgate concludes the season at 10-20.
The Crusaders jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first five minutes of play, before the Raiders scored four straight points to keep things interesting early on. Holy Cross was then up 16-11 with six minutes left before the intermission, before closing out the half on a 12-3 run to take a 28-14 advantage into the locker room.
Colgate was able to trim the Crusaders' lead to 12 points (36-24) with 16 minutes remaining in the game, before Holy Cross used an 8-0 spurt to increase the lead to 20 points and put the game away. The Crusaders would eventually lead by as many as 27 points (53-26 with 9:55 left to play), before finally posting a 17-point victory.
Holy Cross posted a 40-26 rebounding advantage on the day, while holding the Raiders to just 31.9 percent (15 of 47) shooting from the field.
Freshman guard R.J. Evans (Salem, Conn.) finished the game with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Crusaders, while sophomore guard Andrew Beinert (Floral Park, N.Y.) added eight points, six assists and five rebounds. Colgate was led by Yaw Gyawu with 13 points and four rebounds.
On Friday, Holy Cross will be playing in the Patriot League championship game for the seventh time in the last nine years, and the 10th time overall. The Crusaders' 10 total conference title game appearances are the most in Patriot League history.

Statistics say that married adults are happier, healthier and more productive than their unmarried peers. Less well publicized is the fact that that marriage also brings substantial safety to women. According to "Marriage: The Safest Place for Women and Children," a 2002 Heritage Foundation report, mothers who have married are 50% less likely to suffer from domestic violence than mothers who have never married.

This episode is all about apologies, and this time, it's Yandy's turn. Last week, she was on Rich's case for not bringing in the talent they need to get their record label moving, and this week she admits that the stress she's under in her personal life with Mendeecees being away is getting to her, and it spilled into her relationship with Rich.
"I know you're going through it. I know it's rough," Rich says. "You're a strong black woman right now, you doing what you gotta do."
"I don't wanna be strong all the time," she cries. The label is something that's just adding to her stress and she really needs Rich to step up if they want to make it work, because she can't carry all that weight on her own.
"The money gonna be there," Rich tells her. "We know our way to it."

Underground hip-hop legend Talib Kweli will return to Bend on Nov. 20 for a show at the Century Center, the complex of buildings behind the old Brightwood Mill that just hosted the Bend Roots Revival.
Specifically, Kweli will play the large, L-shaped room that held the Century Center stage, right next door to Mailboxes, Etc. Posters for the show call the venue "The Music Mill," though Jesse Roberts — founder of local humanitarian organization Rise Up International and the man who booked Kweli — said Wednesday that name may not stick permanently.
The name may still be up in the air, but Roberts is definitely working to turn the space into Bend's newest, bustling music venue. With a capacity of 750 people, the room would provide an option in town for mid-sized touring acts and popular local bands that's bigger than the Domino Room (cap. ~500) but smaller than the Midtown (cap. ~1,000).
Right now, the plan is for Roberts to be the venue's talent buyer, he said, and while he has a few things on tap for fall and early winter (including the Kweli show), he's currently focused on making contacts with artists' agents, establishing the space's name and reputation, and booking shows for early 2011.
Century Center owner Dave Hill set aside the room for a future events center/music venue while he was developing the rest of the new retail complex, located at the corner of Century Drive and Commerce Avenue. Roberts got involved this summer, when he helped organize the weekly Hump Day Hash events, which paired local bands with local nonprofit groups.
"I love music and I've always loved music," Roberts said. "I started doing things over there this summer and got to know Dave, and it just kind of went from there."
Hill is a strong supporter of the local arts scene who envisions the space being used not only for concerts, but also meetings, conferences and beyond. And over the past few years, Rise Up has played an increasingly large role in the local music scene, holding benefit concerts in its warehouse on Bend's east side, promoting local artists like Mosley Wotta, and sponsoring a massive upcoming tour for local pop-punk band Capture the Flag.
But, the Century Center venue would be Roberts' first real booking gig, and he's currently trying to learn exactly what kinds of shows Bend will support. He hopes to attract a variety of genres, from hip-hop to country to indie rock, and he would like to use the shows to promote the local arts scene whenever possible. For example, one of the opening acts for Talib Kweli will be a showcase of local emerging MCs by Poethouse Art's education arm, CADA | CASA. There's even been discussion about someday booking shows at the venue via a nonprofit group, similar to the arrangement at Eugene's W.O.W. Hall, Roberts said.
First things first, though. For now, Roberts is concentrating on the basics — namely, a website and getting people to return calls to a place they've never heard of.
"It'll be a learning experience, that's for sure," Roberts said. "But it's good to have the support of Dave (Hill) and I'm looking forward to seeing what the community will support. I'm definitely excited."

text: The two-part TV movie Cross of Fire is set in the 1920s, when the Ku Klux Klan was at the height of its political power in Indiana. Part One, originally telecast November 5, 1989, details the resurgence of the Klan (which had been created during the Reconstruction era) under the leadership of David "Steve" Stephenson (John Heard). Cloaking himself in the twin veils of patriotism and morality, Stephenson rails against such "deviates" as blacks, Jews and Catholics, gaining political clout and financial kickbacks as his "invisible empire" grows. Part two of Cross of Fire, telecast November 6, traces the fall of Stephenson -- not because his followers have wised up, but because of a 1925 rape and murder charge. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To the Editor:
The legacy of Red Cross sisterhood has sadly come to a conclusion this past week. Long-time former Red Cross Director Lois Gordon passed away peacefully at the golden age of 83.
Lois, of New Philadelphia, proudly served our local Red Cross of Carroll, Harrison and Tuscarawas counties for more than 50 years. She, along with fellow Red Cross Director Carol Cunningham, who served prior to Lois, molded our Red Cross into what it is today. Together, they had over 100 combined years of dedication to helping others right here in our local neighborhoods. Carol recently passed away after celebrating her 100th birthday.
These two resilient women were true sisters of kindness and determination in a family encompassing the entire community. They touched the lives of thousands of adults, children, military personnel and disaster victims during those years. From first aid, CPR and swim lessons to home fires and emergency military messages, Lois and Carol made a difference with the assistance of committed volunteers and supporters. The two gave back to our community and positioned the Red Cross as strong agency partner that is there in times of need.
Specifically, Lois, in her 50 plus years of involvement, started as a volunteer driver and promptly became a CPR and first aid instructor. Later, she became a board member and then served as the executive director. In 1997, she retired but continued to volunteer for the chapter.
Today, we have a hole in our Red Cross family and more than a century of Red Cross service has come to an end. But a new legacy chapter has already begun with the memory and inspiration of two astonishing ladies. This Red Cross sisterhood will carry on in each individual they reached out to-including me. We honor them and their families and say thank you for being a light in the darkness of need.
Chad Conrad
Executive Director

A 20-year-old Rochester man is recovering at Strong Memorial Hospital after he was shot on Wednesday. It happened just before 4 p.m. on Friederich Park.
Police say the victim was confronted by the suspect as he walked down the street. Investigators say the two began talking and then the suspect shot the man in the upper body. He was taken to the hospital with what police believe are non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing.

First off, lets talk about the difference between hardback and softback shades. If you have a dressier lamp, or are placing your lamps in a more formal setting, opt for softback shades, meaning the shades will be silk or fabric lined. They are almost always more expensive, but the look is more luxurious. On the flip side, softback shades are more prone to dry rot, which occurs when the heat of the bulb dries out the lining and causes it to shred. This is almost impossible to repair, because once dry rot starts, shades begin to deteriorate and there is nothing to patch onto. If you decide to choose a softback shade, make sure you either use a low-watt bulb, or at least a smaller bulb, such as a torpedo bulb, which puts off the same amount of wattage but less heat because it sits further away from the shade. In my experience, it is nearly three times more expensive to have the original shade repaired than to buy new shades, so keep this in mind when searching for shades.
Hardback shades are the second option. A more casual, relaxed option that is perfect for a more casual space, hardbacks last longer and are more affordable. Hardback shades are great for basic lamps, and also work well for retro lamps. Pottery lamps that are more rustic look fabulous with burlap, textured shades, and brass lamps are especially sharp looking with a black paper shade with a gold or tortoise-shell lining. Anything clear, such as popular glass or acrylic lamps, though usually more formal, can take a hardback shade if in a more casual or modern setting. It really depends on the look you are trying to achieve in the room- as a basic rule of thumb, hardback= casual, softback= formal.
Well, you have your basic knowledge of shades, now back to the important task of fitting them properly! Remember this: half of the neck needs to show. What is a neck?
A neck is the part of the lamp between the actual piece that is made into a lamp and the socket. You never want the socket to show, and you never want to cover the top of your lamp. See some examples below.
Now the good examples, where the shade sits at the proper height, allowing half the neck to show.
How can you achieve this? With the correct harp! The harp is the u-shaped piece that fits into the saddle located at the base of your lamp's socket, which your lamp shade sits on. There are several sizes- from 5" to 14". There are also low-weight and heavy-weight harps, which really cannot be determined unless you bring your lamp to the store and fit it yourself.
When searching for lampshades, it is very important to bring the lamp with you if possible. This will save you several trips back and forth from shops, and a lot of headache. With the experience I have, I still wouldn't be able to eyeball what shade I need for a lamp, and more importantly, the correct harp size. Also be sure to tell the consultant if you need a pairof shades as early as possible- trust me, nothing is more heartbreaking than finding what we would refer to as a "onesie" that we fell in love with, only to discover that the client needed a pair!
New shades can make a tired lamp look brand new. With proper care, shades can last up to 30 years, it all depends on the wattage of the bulb, the size and fabric the shade is made of, and of course a proper fit. Taking your lamps to a specialty shop might cost more initially, but like everything in life, you get what you pay for- quality!
Moonshine Shades for funky fiberglass reproduction shades.
Alluminaire for contemporary drum and square lamp shades.
Pottery Barn has excellent basic hardback shades, including black and textured options.

3D Vision Pro glasses don't turn on quickly, Quadro 4000
Glasses do not easily turn on.
Quadro 4000 card
Nvidia 3D Vision Pro
3 pairs of glasses total
Driver Version:
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 275.09.07 Wed Jun 8 14:16:46 PDT 2011
GCC version: gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)
Debian 5
xorg, Debian version 1:7.3+20
System has three pairs of glasses and one emitter. Waking up all three pairs of glasses was difficult. By this I mean that no lights were lit on the glasses and the glasses did not activate the shutter component of themselves.
I logged in, started nvidia-settings, and started my 3D program (pymol). I then attempted to wake up the glasses by pressing the button. One pair started after several pressed. The second pair started to work after holding the button on the glasses for over a minute. The third pair took 20 minutes of futzing, pressing the button quickly, holding the button, plugging the glasses into each of the different power cables for the glasses.
After the glasses are on, they stay on. However, they do not turn on reliably.
Other information:
The glasses are plugged into a powered USB hub, with the emitter plugged directly into the computer. This was tried as glasses very rarely have amber light lit solidly despite being plugged in for nearly a week. This issue also present with 280.04 driver.
I also get syslog messages of usb 8-1: usbfs: process 19275 (Xorg) did not claim interface 0 before use
. This issue also present with 280.04 driver.
With user logins and outs, nvidia-settings will often not list glasses that are currently correctly displaying 3D images. This issue also present with 280.04 driver.
Multiple concurrent users also prevent the 3D from working. If A is logged in, and B selects Switch User; B will be unable to use the 3D Stereo. This situation worked flawlessly with the old CrystalEyes system. This issue also present with 280.04 driver.

When Frank Wisner said at the Munich Security Conference that his old friend Hosni Mubarak "must stay in office" to oversee a transition, it was suggested that he was speaking out of turn. Not so fast. Now it seems that Secretary of State Clinton, who sent Wisner as a personal administration envoy to Mubarak, seems to be taking the same line. She has now expressed support for an "orderly" process led by Omar Suleiman, Mubarak's long-time right-hand man.
This may be explained as a tilt toward "safety" and "stability" by the administration. But it is hardly clear that the new administration line is in fact the safest course to take. There is no guarantee that Suleiman will preside over a transition to a genuine democracy; he may very well work to keep the same ruling clique in power with a new front man — possibly himself. As long as a corrupt oligarchy continues to rule, the people will seethe with discontent. These conditions create a fertile breeding ground for the Muslim Brotherhood, as the past three decades have already shown.
At this point, the safest option may well be to make a clean break with Mubarak, inaugurate a transition government, lift the state of emergency, and allow the full blooming of democratic politics. Most analysts knowledgeable about Egyptian politics believe that, under those conditions, the Brotherhood will emerge as a minority party; it has flourished only in an atmosphere of repression because the mosque has been the one part of Egyptian society not fully controlled by the state.
But for that to happen, the administration would have to find the spine to force Mubarak from power. That's hardly impossible to do since we provide Egypt with some $2 billion in aid. Threaten that money and the incentive for the Egyptian army to toss Mubarak out of office would increase dramatically. So far, however, the administration has not been willing to do that. The result, unfortunately, is to prolong the current crisis and to leave an impression of American impotence.

Dear EarthTalk: What is "kenaf" paper? From what I've heard, it's good for the environment. But what exactly are its benefits and where can I obtain some? -- Tiffany Mikamo, via e-mail
Kenaf, a fast-growing, non-invasive annual hibiscus plant related to cotton, okra and hemp, makes ideal paper fiber as well as great source material for burlap, clothing, canvas, particleboard and rope. Its primary use around the world today is for animal forage, but humans enjoy its high-protein seed oil to add a nutritious and flavorful kick to a wide range of foods. In fact, kenaf has been grown for centuries in Africa, China and elsewhere for these and other purposes, but environmentalists see its future in replacing slower-growing trees as our primary source for paper.

Recipe by Ginger Smith
"This recipe is compared to the flowering onions you get in a steak house! It is a breaded vidalia onion fried to be crispy and served with a tangy sauce. A friend of mine gave me this recipe, I have brought it to several cook outs and get great compliments every time. Enjoy!"

1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
1 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
egg, beaten
1 cup
1 large
Vidalia or other sweet onion, peeled
1/2 cup
creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip™)
2 tablespoons
prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon
dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
1 quart
vegetable oil for frying
This was a lot easier than I thought it would be and fun. I tried this one because it was on AR. This is very tasty and easy to make if you have a onion slicer (its like an apple one) you just put on onion and push down. I would recommend trying the ice bath with onion to get to bloom open more. I got mine to bloom but not quite as much as I had hoped. You want to make sure your grease is 350 and you want to fry it core down first then flip if your grease does not submerge the whole onion. DO cook for the 10 Min.. I thought mine was done at 7... but no, its not because it wont peel off to eat if not tender...We had a lot of fun making this. We only made one and I have left overs for another one. Dont skip the refrigeration part of the onion. THE DIP: Well lets just say you should put everything in the bowl excep the "horsey" and add it 1tsp at a time to your liking. I had pure horsradish and my son was making the dip, we ended up doubling everything but the horsey and it was still a little to much for us. Thank you for the recipe. Take a look at my pics and you will see the cutter I am talking about.
This recipe didn't have very much flavor to me at all. Neither the sauce NOR the breading. It turned out okay, just not comparable at all to what you get in restuarants. I had to add lots of spices, hot sauce, etc to get it to taste good.

Wonderful! I did need more oil to fry the onion in than the recipe called for, but I may have just had a really big onion. It looked lovely. I left the room to get my camera, came back and the guys had eaten half of it. So, sorry, I can't post a picture. I will definitely make again. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Pretty good. Careful with the horseradish. One tablespoon is MORE than enough. Add more miracle whip if the radish is to strong. Also cook the onion a minute or two longer

Hey Mr. Bill,
Aren't there more than two candidates? What about Georges? Boasso?
MR. BILL RESPONDS Why isn't either one willing to discuss the oil industry's culpability in the destruction of our wetlands? Plus neither one has specific ideas to fix problems. They know we have problems but just keep saying leadership is the solution. Georges made a lot of money...so what? Boasso was in a boat saving people, good, but that was over two years ago. What are their solutions, particularly to address our number one priority..coastal hurricane protection? They have none and Foster Campbell has the only logical solution. Watch the debate tomorrow night and you'll see what I mean.
Hurray!!! Borders, thanks for that vote of confidence. While I love, and will continue to support, Maple Street, Octavia Books and Garden District Books, this new presence will have a huge and positive impact on the city, and provide services that the independents aren't equipped to handle - cd's, dvd's, etc. I can't wait to welcome them.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The most widely used human embryonic stem cell lines lack genetic diversity, a finding that raises social justice questions that must be addressed to ensure that all sectors of society benefit from stem cell advances, according to a University of Michigan research team.
In the first published study of its kind, the U-M team analyzed 47 embryonic stem cell lines, including most of the lines commonly used by stem cell researchers. The scientists determined the genetic ancestry of each line and found that most were derived from donors of northern and western European ancestry.
Several of the lines are of Middle Eastern or southern European ancestry. Two of the lines are of East Asian origin. None of the lines were derived from individuals of recent African ancestry, from Pacific Islanders, or from populations indigenous to the Americas.
In addition, U-M researchers identified several instances in which more than one cell line came from the same embryo donors, further reducing the overall genetic diversity of the most widely available lines.
"Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to change the future of medicine," said Sean Morrison, director of the U-M Center for Stem Cell Biology and one of the study leaders. "But there's a lack of diversity among today's most commonly used human embryonic stem cell lines, which highlights an important social justice issue."
"We expected Europeans to be overrepresented, but we were surprised by how little diversity there is," he said.
For the study, Morrison teamed up with two colleagues at the U-M Life Sciences Institute: stem cell scientist Jack Mosher and population geneticist Noah Rosenberg. Their findings are scheduled to be published online Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A fundamental principle of medical research is that new therapies are tested on

Exports provide boost
Posted: June 30, 2014|
MORE Staffordshire firms are helping to increase overseas trade regionally and expand their business operations as a result.
Export statistics issued by HMRC show that the West Midlands continues to be the top region for overseas growth, having the highest year-on-year percentage increase in exports in England.
Annual exports are up from 23.3 billion to 27.8 billion, which is a 19.2 per cent increase compared to the last year's figures.
Staffordshire County Council is urging more businesses to export and get the expert backing they need to do so.

Its export advice events, run with UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and supported by local MPs, have been attended by hundreds of companies.
Nearly 30 businesses attended the latest event in Leek, hosted by Staffordshire Moorlands MP Karen Bradley and sponsored by Lloyds Bank.
Frances Bromley from Leek art and design studio Scabetti spoke of her exporting journey and the opportunities that working with UKTI have brought to her business.
She said: "The trade show assistance results in invaluable networking and PR opportunities and enables us to personally present our products to overseas markets."
Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for economy and infrastructure Mark Winnington said: "Exporting can really open up opportunities to businesses and enable them to substantially increase their operations. UKTI speaks to businesses all of the time about perceived barriers and will guide them through so they can successfully tap into overseas markets."
Karen Bradley MP reiterated the importance of promoting the British brand to overseas markets and encouraged others to participate in exporting their goods and services abroad.
She said: ''We have many creative, innovative and impressive businesses in the Staffordshire Moorlands like Scabetti, who manufacture their products in the UK.
"Exporting these products not only reinforces the British brand but also helps to increase our sales to international markets.''
UKTI presented a taster of the range of support and advice they can provide to businesses wishing to start or enhance the amount of exporting they currently undertake and were on hand to provide more detailed support on a one-to-one basis.
Anyone wanting support with their exporting plans or ideas can contact firstname.lastname@example.com where they will be put in touch with a dedicated UKTI International Trade Advisor.

A hearty congratulations are due tonight to Javier Colon, the winner of the first season of NBC's The Voice. The 34 year-old, who was dropped from his label Capitol Records after releasing two albums under their watch, triumphed over his competitors Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez, and Beverly McClellan.
We first felt like the Javier wave was about to crest last week after his stirring rendition of Coldplay's "Fix You," a performance which also saw him shed his (then trademark) cap for the first time. At the time, we opined that he might have pulled this maneuver a week too soon, but you know what they say about hindsight.
Last night, though, Javier proved himself to be one of this competition's frontrunners with an engaging performance of his original song, "Stitch By Stitch" (which we have for you below). And tonight, he proved he had nerves of steel when he stood toe-to-toe with Stevie Nicks during a duet of the Fleetwood Mac classic, "Landslide," never losing confidence despite Stevie's not-so-subtle direction on how he should inflect his vocals. Judge/coach Adam Levine described it, perhaps with a smidge of hyperbole, as "one of the most beautiful duets I've ever heard in my life," but there is no denying that Javier Colon is having one of the best nights of his life. He's got a second chance at music superstardom, but only time –and perhaps the ticket sales for this summer's The Voice multi-city tour– will tell if he'll end up making Capitol Records regret their decision to let him go.

WILLIAMSPORT — Governor Tom Corbett was recently asked about why the state's unemployment rate remains so high.
His response? Because workers are too.
On a radio program Monday, Governor Corbett was asked why the state's unemployment rate is slightly higher than the national average.
Corbett's responded that companies need workers with more training and workers who can pass a drug test.
It was only part of Governor Tom Corbett's answer as to why the state's unemployment rate is relatively high.
"There are many employers that say, 'We're looking for people, but can't find anyone who has passed a drug test." That's a serious concern," said Corbett on Radio PA.
It was that part of Corbett's answer that got the most criticism.
A front page headline in the Philadelphia Daily News read "Big Bong Theory," all because the governor was relying on what employers told him about problems they have filling open positions.
"Most people I've talked to that are out of jobs, that's not their priority. The priority is there are no jobs to go to. That's the biggest thing," said Timothy Packer of Williamsport.
At the PA Career Link office in Williamsport there were a number of people in search of a job.
The governor's comments do not sit well with some.
"I think there's a lot of people out here looking for work, just can't find it," said Herbert Brown who has been searching for work for three months.
"He's going to have a hard time next election explaining why he'd call these people druggies," added Packer.
Nowadays there are quite a few companies affiliated with the natural gas industry that require drug testing before they hire people for employment. But whether or not there's a significant number of people who apply and fail the test or choose not to take it, people who administer those tests said it's a small, small percentage.
"It's typically about 10% that would test positive," said Sherry Bender of Affiniton, LLC.
Affiniton in Williamsport carries out drug tests for potential employees, and the folks there believe there are other reasons, not drug test results, that disqualify workers.
But as soon as Corbett's comments were questioned, the PA Chamber of Commerce came to his side.
"We frequently hear from member companies that this is absolutely a problem for them. It is especially an issue for industries that have a zero tolerance policy on drug and alcohol use," said Gene Barr, PA Chamber President.
A governor's office spokesperson said the comment is being taken out of context and is being used for political benefit.
Still, no one the governor's office referred us to was able to back up his statements with any facts or figures, only what they called "anecdotes" from industry types.

Is there a good way to monitor how quickly items are dropping out of memcache?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I've found this quite useful in the past.. Although probably not quite what you're after. http://code.google.com/p/memcache-top/
If you telnet to the server and run the 'stats' command you will get the number of evictions since the server started. If you automate this and run it periodically you will be able to track the eviction rate over time, although you will not know exactly what was evicted.
You can try phpmemcacheadmin like stand-alone monitoring tool to to see both evicted item counts and rates.

Deltak edu, LLC, a provider of online higher education services, is expanding its partnership with Boston University to launch BU's Master of Law degree (LL.M.) in Taxation in an online format. This is the second master's degree program Deltak has introduced online with the University, having launched its Master of Social Work degree in 2011. Boston University's graduate tax program, which was started in 1959 and was among the first of its kind in the country, has been ranked fifth among American law schools offering the program, according to the 2013 edition of U.S. News and World Report's rankings.
Deltak, which has successfully launched more than 100 online degree programs for colleges and universities around the country, will assist Boston University in bringing its enriching LL.M. in Taxation degree online. The program reflects a mastery of the practice, ethics, and subtleties of tax law and prepares students for a variety of careers through electives, allowing students to concentrate on courses that allow for exposure to all areas of tax or courses that will prepare them for specialization in a particular area, such as business organizations and transactions; estate planning and wealth management; or international tax. The same quality educational experience offered to on-campus students will now be offered online.

Prom spending on rise
The prom is making a big comeback.
The recession forced parents and teens to cut back on spending for the annual high school dance, but wallets are finally opening again.
"Dresses are more elaborate," says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group. "They are now buying two pairs of shoes, one to go to prom and one to dance in."
"This crop of kids cares about prom," says Cohen.
And so do the parents, who see the dance as a rite of passage. The pressure to help give teenagers a memorable night is high. "You don't want your kid to be the only kid who doesn't have what the other kids have," says Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University.
Prom spending is expected to rise this spring to an average $1,139. That's among families who are planning to spend some money to attend the annual affair, according to a survey of 1,025 parents of prom age teens by payment processor Visa Inc. and research company Gfk. Not included in the average were 12 percent who said they wouldn't spend anything on the prom. A majority of parents with teenagers surveyed were still unsure how much they'd spend.
Leigh Dow didn't have a budget for her 16-year-old daughter's prom dress. She wanted it to be well made, have a good fit and be unique.
Dow paid $500 for a raspberry-colored gown with silver beading and a sweetheart neckline. She expects her daughter, Darby McDaniel, who is a junior in high school to wear the dress more than once.
Dow will also pay for a hairstylist, a spray tan and part of the cost of a party bus to drive a group of kids to the dance.
"Prom has become a very big production," says Dow, who owns Dow Media Group, a marketing company.

Because of failed scoring opportunities here Tuesday, Sweetwater's softball team let a chance to be the undisputed second-place team in District 5-3A slip away as it lost to Big Spring, 5-1.
Sweetwater had eight hits, but produced just one run as the Lady Mustangs fell to 2-3 in district. Sweetwater is now in a three-way tie for second place with Snyder and Big Spring, with Wylie — which comes here Friday — just a half-game behind all three teams at 1-3.
Sweetwater had several chances to get on the board Tuesday after falling behind 4-0 in the first inning, but the Lady Mustangs didn't score until the seventh inning on a two-out single by Kinsey Browning. Her hit scored Kendra Crosson, who walked and went to second on a fielder's choice by Taylor McKoy prior to Browning's single. On the mound, McKoy took the loss despite allowing just one run after the first inning. Alicia Finn got the last three outs, and was 4-for-4 at the plate to account for half of Sweetwater's hit total.

The flashback-inducing psychedelia of the Flaming Lips just got an official mainstream seal of approval: Lead art-agitator Wayne Coyne told Rolling Stone that he is in talks to turn his band?s last record, a concept album entitled Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, into a Broadway musical. (For a band that routinely played with Justin Timberlake in a rabbit costume, this isn't much of a stretch.) Producer Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys) will help adapt the record for the stage. No word yet on whether or not the Playbill will be printed on blotter paper. Would you pay to do acid . . . we mean, see the Lips on the Great White Way?

In reading this book, you have observed that the spatial data used in landscape ecology come from many sources and in many forms. For many organisms, these data take the form of presence or absence at a location, or numbers of individuals at that same location. For species such as trees, where huge size differences exist between individuals, indices such as basal area, metric tons per hectare, or canopy cover are more useful than counts. For any measured species that is handled (or sampled noninvasively; Taberlet et al. 1999; Kendall and McKelvey 2008; Schwartz and Monfort 2008), an additional data source is available: the genetic data stored in the organism's tissue. If genetic samples are taken, then these data become another type of spatial data associated with the location where the organism was sampled. As such, genetic data can be analyzed with many of the same approaches used to analyze data of other types that vary spatially.

'Hill' fooled by Rouhani Twitter account
On Tuesday, the congressional news outlet 'The Hill' erroneously reported that Iranian president Hassan Rouhani was using Twitter to lobby for a meeting with President Obama.
"Iran's president lobbies over Twitter for UN meeting with Obama," the Hill's original headline read.
The tweets hat led them astray came from @drRouhani, an unconfirmed Twitter account that publishes news about the Iranian president. Rouhani's true Twitter account is @HassanRouhani.
In the tweets, @drRouhani wrote: "96% of the participants in a survey by The @Guardiannews voted Yes to #Obama-#Rouhani's meeting. #UNGA," and "@NBCnews: #Obama and #Rouhani could make history with a handshake. #UNGA"
(PHOTOS: U.N. General Assembly 68th session)
The Hill has since updated its report; the headline now reads: "Iranian president's purported Twitter account sparks confusion."
"The Hill originally ran a story saying Rouhani had taken to Twitter to lobby for a meeting with Obama at the United Nations on Tuesday, based on the Dr. Rouhani account," the updated version states.

By: Collette Wieland
It's that time of year again - when a lot of us loosen our belts and prepare for an overindulgence of comfort foods and sweet treats.
It may seem impossible, but you can survive the holidays without packing on a few extra pounds.
We know that just the thought of a Thanksgiving feast is enough to make your mouth water.
Registered dietician Valerie Edwards says can be bad if it goes way beyond that.
"It's not the one day that's the problem," she said.
"For a lot of people, it just becomes two months of overeating and that's where the problems occur with weight gain."
Edwards says you should save those extra calories for special days and for foods you really love. And don't forget to exercise, even if your family is in town.
Personal trainer Danielle Norwood says there are easy exercises you can sneak in, even while cooking, to keep your metabolism up - exercises that will get your stomach ready for the feast.
Get creative- use a pumpkin or canned food as weights. Grab paper plates, and use them as gliders.
The other thing that can boost your calorie count is drinks.
Keep those averages in mind when filling your glass. A 5 oz glass of white wine is 120 calories - a similar glass of red will run you 130. A 12 oz beer is 150 calories.
And it's not just the alcohol - peppermint hot chocolate is 300 calories. Eggnog is 345, without rum. Add 75 calories if you go that route.
