Energy company establishes $123 million credit facility with 33 banks in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey
CHICAGO — As part of its commitment to investing in the communities it serves, Exelon arranged $123 million in credit lines with 33 community and minority-owned banks in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. The credit facility represents a $5 million increase and an addition of three new participating lenders from last year.
"Exelon's minority and community banking program, now in its tenth year, exemplifies our commitment to doing business with diverse suppliers," said Jonathan W. Thayer, executive vice president and CFO of Exelon. "We view our diverse communities as valued partners in our business. The individuals and businesses in those communities — and the diverse perspectives they bring — are essential to our success."
Unique to the energy industry, Exelon's minority and community banking program has grown substantially since its launch in 2003 with a $36 million credit facility from eight community banks. Administered by JP Morgan Chase since its inception, the program has more than tripled in credit facility size and more than quadrupled the number of participating banks.
The four lead credit arrangers for 2012 are the United Bank of Philadelphia, Seaway Bank and Trust Company and Riverside Community Bank in Illinois, and The Harbor Bank of Maryland. With the addition of Baltimore-based BGE and Constellation to the Exelon family of companies in 2012, Exelon has welcomed Baltimore-area banks Industrial Bank and The Harbor Bank of Maryland into the program. Wilmington Savings in the Philadelphia area also joined the program this year.
The minority and community banking program is mutually beneficial for Exelon and the participating banks. It provides Exelon subsidiaries Exelon Generation, PECO Energy, ComEd and BGE with additional sources of credit at competitive prices. At the same time, the program provides participating banks incremental business in the form of deposits – and the increase in their assets helps the banks generate more business and provide more services to their communities.
"Having a relationship with a Fortune 100 company further strengthens our ability to serve our customers, which include small businesses and individuals in our community," said Joseph Haskins, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of The Harbor Bank of Maryland. "By doing business with community banks in Baltimore and other urban communities, Exelon is investing in the economies of the areas it serves."
The partnerships between Exelon and the community and minority banks go beyond the credit agreements. They also offer the banks an opportunity to expand their business with Exelon into other areas, as well as to seek business from other large companies. For example:
• Program participant AztecAmerica Bank now offers low-income community members the opportunity to purchase gift certificates for ComEd electricity service.• Program participant Banco Popular has worked with Exelon employee volunteers to create educational opportunities for local students on managing personal finances.
As part of its business strategy to advance diversity and inclusion, Exelon maintains partnerships with minority- and women-owned investment firms as well. Exelon currently has approximately $900 million of pension and healthcare assets invested with 10 diverse investment firms. Since 2007, the company has included a minority-owned investment bank in each of its long-term capital market issuances.
Exelon has a demonstrated commitment to supplier diversity and has made it a critical part of the company's overall supply chain strategy. With the addition of Constellation and BGE to the Exelon family of companies, Exelon expects its corporate spending with certified minority- and women-owned businesses to be approximately $700 million annually.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

NEWPORT–Devinnie Davis just keeps on rolling.
The freshman netted another two goals on Tuesday as the Falcons shut-out their third straight opponent, defeating St. Johnsbury 4-0.
Davis has been playing at a high level all of her life, and she said that the transition to the varsity program was not as difficult as it may seem to others.
"I feel like a part of the team since I started playing (with NCU) and the girls welcomed me in," said Davis on where some of her confidence has come from.
Said coach Jose´Batista of his leading goal scorer, "She has a lot of speed and she is pretty intense and she is pretty hard on the ball, giving (other team's) backs fits when she does that."
Crystal Moss opened the scoring twelve minutes into the game, with Shelby Maniatty getting the assist.
Then it was Davis' turn, scoring off of a feed from Moss with fifty-two seconds left in the half to make it 2-0.
Junior Natalie Sykes took a pass from Anna Bingham and made it 3-0 a little over thirteen minutes into the second half.
Moss again hooked up with Davis for the final tally of the game, and Davis' second goal of the game.
Jenna Moss had six saves in the win, and was quick to say it is a team effort that is keeping the 0's on the opponent's score sheets.
"We have a strong defense and we hold it tight, but if one fails it is then on me and I always have my eye on the ball and it is not going to go in," she said confidently.
"I think we try to be well organized in the back and Jenna is pretty solid in communicating and controlling her space and that has helped us keep the ball out of our net," said Batista.
Standing at 3-0, Batista is not about to let his team be complacent with their current level of play.
"It was not our best total performance, and we did not control the game as we would have liked to," he said. "As we start getting into the season we got start playing a little better and take it to the next level."
The girls put their 3-0 record on the line this Friday under the lights as they wrap up the season series with the MMU Cougars.
Game time is 6:00 on Veterans Field.

does the cable connection use PPPoE or dhcp? i know for redhat 9 tehre is an internet connection that walks you through thr process.
Ok here is the deal.
I have no idea what I am doing ??? :-[
I just loaded Mandrake 9.2 from a couple of cd's given to me with no manuel.
I am very new to Linux.
How do I setup an internet connection?
I have cable.
I am using KDE.
does the cable connection use PPPoE or dhcp? i know for redhat 9 tehre is an internet connection that walks you through thr process.
Also, is it out of the wall, into the cable modem, into your computer via eithernet/usb? Or wall, modem, router (for sharing, etc) to your computer via ehternet?
No PPPOE.
I think dhcp.
It connects to my laptop via usb...and when I click the usb icon it reads the cable modem, but I dont get any connection to the internet and dont know how to configure the connection.
I will open the internet browser (Konqueror)
and it will say unknown host.
Sooo I dont know where to go after that
I can go in the settings
and click plugins but I don't see anything new in there.
How's your network setup?
Your ISP --> Cable Modem --> Mandrake 9.2 laptop ?
Using USB port to your cable modem's USB port? Is your modem have Eathernet RJ45 port you can connect to?
We need more info to help you set up.
What is the model of your cable modem? And what is your cable provider?
The reason why I ask is because, usually, you can go to google and type "the name of my modem" + "Mandrake"
"The name of my modem" + "linux" and you will probably find out an article about someone who had the same setup as you, and how that person hot it to work.

Diverse stories take to the screen in CAAMFest's documentary competition
CAAMFEST The feel-good movie of last year's Center for Asian American Media film festival was The Cheer Ambassadors, a documentary charting the high-flying accomplishments of Bangkok University's cheerleading team. This year's The Road to Fame taps the same performance theme, but there's an undercurrent of melancholy that tugs at each of its peppy subjects. The setting is Beijing's Central Academy of Drama, where young adults envision careers like those of celebrity alums Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. The reality, of course, is that the majority of them will struggle to get any job after graduation, much less realize their show-biz fantasies.
Added pressure is applied by the kids' parents. Though Chinese youth may have adopted Western-style dreams of the spotlight, many in the older generation were denied the chance to go to college or experience any freedom of occupational choice. All of The Road to Fame's featured subjects are in the 19-to-21 age range, born in the era of China's one-child policy, so the incentive to succeed is particularly urgent, for both financial and emotional reasons. With two parents and four grandparents looking on, "There are six pairs of eyes on only one child," points out drama teacher Liu Hongmei, whose own martial-arts movie career was supplanted by her desire to work with students.
Given all of these factors, the choice of musical Fame — about a performing-arts school teeming with wannabe stars — as the kids' final showcase is wonderfully apt. As a bonus, American teachers with Broadway bona fides (the lead has a hint of Corky St. Clair flair) have come to China to work with the students, including standouts like charismatic Chen Lei, who comes from "a simple family" that expects her to take care of them, frustrating her desires to work abroad; and Wu Heng, a talented singer with luxuriant pop-star hair whose parents joke (or are they joking?) about him supporting them. Tension arises during casting, and the expected backstage drama ensues as "A" and "B" casts are chosen and the kids — already fearing the uncertainty of life post-graduation — start to get a sense of how difficult making it will be. On a side note, The Road to Fame is the latest from Chinese-born, US-educated blogger and filmmaker (2005's Beijing or Bust) Hao Wu, who was detained by Chinese authorities in 2006 while filming a documentary on Christian Chinese house churches. (Presumably, the government viewed musical theater as a more "appropriate" topic.)
Along with The Road to Fame, CAAMFest's documentary competition is composed almost entirely of urgently contemporary tales. In American Arab, Iraqi American filmmaker Usama Alshaibi takes a deeply personal look at what it's like to live in the US — specifically, small-town Iowa — post-9/11 with the first name "Usama." (The results are not entirely surprising.) More compelling is Dianne Fukami and Eli Olson's Stories From Tohoku, a sensitive study of Japanese still struggling to rebuild after the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Interviews with survivors, as well as Japanese Americans (including Kristi Yamaguchi, who visits the region to lend support), illuminate the incredible resilience of people whose communities were completely flattened.

Just opened a bottle and letting it breath before my first taste.
Will report back later after I get to know this better.
Edit: Sorry, this is from someone who has only drank CoK and Medley rye and bunker enough to last a while so mostly only drink those routinely. The only other rye I have drink is Jeff 10 NCF and HW21 on occasion.
Initial impression (2nd pour) nothing like CoK or Medley. Similar taste profile (from memory) to Jeff 10 NCF and perhaps HW21 that I have been drinking. Will do some SBS to be sure. Note, I have not had Jeff 21 rye yet.
Not woody at all and taste actually very young for 25 years. Smooth and easy to drink.
If you are like me who love CoK and Medley, then this is very different. If you like Jeff 10 NCF and HW, taste profile is consistent and like an older and more refine pour.
May have to compare the Jeff 21 to the HW21 out of curiosity. That means I may have to crack open my last HW21 but I suppose sometimes sacrifices have to be made!
Still looking for the elusive Jeff 25 rye here.
These are available around me, but do not seem to be selling well. Lasting quite a long time for a premium product these days. Interesting to see that IMHO, rye still has a long way to go to catch up to bourbon and scotch for notoriety and popularity.
Finally had a chance to try the Jeff 21 and 25 SBS (along with a Jeff 10 and a couple of other ryes). Understandably hard to justify spending that much on either of them but both are interesting and tasty whiskies. The 25 was particularly nice and a shame it didn't carry a bit more proof although I din't think it was particularly thin.
Passed on this today @ $149.99. Just going thorugh this thread doesn't seem like it's worth it.

|A basic ground beef casserole.
Hamburger Hot Dish CasseroleThis "hot dish" casserole recipe is an adaptation of one found in the September 2009 Pillsbury Classic Pot Pies & Casseroles Cookbooklet. These are the mini cookbooks you see at the register as you're waiting to checkout and they usually have some quick and easy dinner ideas. This issue was loaded with lots of pot pie ideas I hadn't thought of before, lots of yummy casseroles, and some really cute Halloween ideas. As fast as this summer has flown by I have a feeling that winter will be here before we know it!
It's just what we call a simple casserole dish here in the South, but for some reason, our Northern Neighbors refer to most casseroles as hot dishes. Interestingly enough, they are generally one and the same, even, sometimes, down to the cream soups! See y'all... I told you, while we do have our differences, we all have much more in common than some folks sometimes want to admit and certainly in our cooking!
I used the Barilla Plus rotini pasta and instead of a large can of tomato sauce, I used a smaller one and added in beef broth. I like the addition of beef broth with browned ground beef sometimes - it just seems to enhance whatever dish it is used in. I also increased the salt, added some additional seasonings - including my beloved Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning - and made a few other adjustments.
This is a very simple casserole and tasty - The Cajun loved it, went back for seconds, and later in the evening, even thirds! Once you have the casserole mixed up and ready to go in the oven, be sure to taste and adjust the seasonings to your preferences.
According to the original recipe, this makes for about 6 servings. Apparently, they haven't met The Cajun, so if you have hearty appetites in your house, you'll probably want to double it for a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Recipe: Hamburger "Hot Dish" Casserole©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 40 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3 cups of uncooked rotini pasta
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 can of Rotel, or regular diced tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
- 4 ounces of beef broth (1/2 of the tomato sauce can)
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish; set aside. Generously salt a pot of boiling water for the pasta and cook al dente according to the package directions.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil. Saute the onion until softened but not browned; add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking the meat up well. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, sugar, salt, Cajun seasoning, and parsley. Add in the cooked and drained pasta and cook until tomatoes and pasta are thoroughly warmed through.
Turn out into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes or until heated through and bubbly. Remove foil, sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheddar and return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or just until cheese is melted.

I had some spider veins on the back of my legs that were bothering me. It's summer, beach season, and I was a so self conscious I didn't even want to wear shorts. It was just embarassing, I'm in my 40s, not my 60s! I went on Google and looked up spider veins and varicose veins, those led me to Dr. Cheng's website and blog. The information was really detailed, there were a bunch of treatment options so I just made an appointment for the free consultation. Surprisingly Dr. Cheng did the consultation and treatment herself and talked me through everything from laser to injection treatments and why injections were the right choice for me. When she did the injections the veins just vanished. Highly recommended.

What a great 'bedside manner'!!! She explained everything and worked wonders on my veins in my leg. They didn't look too awful but I was self conscious and now I am thrilled with the results!

I have to admit, the only reason I went to Dr. Cheng was for cosmetic reasons. I had some spider veins around my nose that were bugging me and had been bugging me for years. They didn't hurt or anything but I didn't like seeing them in the mirror every morning. Dr. Cheng was able to treat me with a laser treatment and it only took around 45 minutes for the whole thing (including the "consultation" part). I'd highly recommend Dr. Cheng and SDVI if you - like me - have something cosmetic that's been bugging you that you want to get rid of.

I went to see Dr. Cheng because my legs were feeling "heavy" and when I Googled it they said it could be a result of varicose veins. I went to Dr. Cheng for the free consultation and I really liked her bedside matter (she explained everything in a way I could understand), the treatment options, and her staff didn't keep me waiting at all. I think anyone with varicose veins should at least take try the free consultation. I subsequently recommended her to my mother.

Microsoft: No flaw in Media Player
A set of video files available on peer-to-peer networks is piggybacking on Microsoft's antipiracy tools to trick viewers into downloading adware and spyware, security experts have warned.
Spanish security company Panda Software warned earlier this week that several companies are apparently using Microsoft Media Player's digital-rights management (DRM) tool to fool people into downloading spyware and viruses. The existence of the files was confirmed by Harvard researcher Ben Edelman.
Microsoft responded Friday, saying that the security risk does not arise from a flaw in its rights-management tool, although the issue is triggered by an apparently content-protected file. Content distributors can use Windows Media Player to pop up a Web page with information about a video or song, and in this case, that page was apparently loaded with automatic spyware download mechanisms.
The automatic downloads would be blocked on any computer running the Service Pack 2 release of Windows, Microsoft representatives said. People can also protect PCs running older versions of the operating system by turning up the security settings in Internet Explorer to "high," they added.
"There is no way to automatically force the user to run the malicious software," Microsoft said in an e-mailed statement. "This function is not a security vulnerability in Windows Media Player or DRM."
The appearance of the files on peer-to-peer networks marks a new twist in the old problem of "drive-by downloads," in which companies have used vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer browser, or simply taken advantage of Web surfers' unfamiliarity with technology, to trick them into downloading abusive software.
The Federal Trade Commission has sued at least one company, run by former spammer Sanford Wallace, for distributing adware and spyware through this kind of Web page mechanism. This is the first time the Microsoft rights-management tools have been publicly used to trigger the effect, however.
Panda Software said in an advisory that two versions of the dangerous files are being distributed. However, both are easy to spot once they have run. After connecting to the Internet, they display the message: "Thanks for downloading this file. Click Play to listen."
If someone clicks through the site, spyware is automatically downloaded to the victim's PC, Panda said.
A Microsoft representative said the software company was continuing to pursue the problem.
"We are concerned, because it is behavior inconsistent with what we would do with our DRM," said Mike Coleman, lead product manager for Microsoft's Windows client consumer division.
Microsoft is planning to release an update to the Windows Media Player that will shut down a file's ability to automatically pop up a Web page, unless the user turns that function on, a representative said.
Dan Ilett of ZDNet UK reported from London. CNET News.com's John Borland contributed to this report.

Comments about Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Core Oxford Low-Top Red:
Red freakin' converse! What else needs to be said!? I'm a big fan of lowtop Chuck Taylor shoes and these are my current favorite. Comfortable for casual wear, though I would never consider wearing them for long hikes. I was impressed by the speed with which I received them from Musicians Friend and they had the best prices around. All in all, a very happy shopping experience with zero buyer's remorse.

Comments about Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Core Oxford Low-Top Red:
I have worn these shoes since I was in 7 th grade in the sixties and the were ten small ones and now they are 6 x the price for the same shoe. That is what we call inflation. These shoes and simply for being seen in. You can go to Wal-mart and get a better fit and more supportive shoe for one-fifth of the price. So thesde shoes are for people who have more money than since. How did I get these shoes? Two years ago MF had a sale and I bought six pair for the price of one and a half. The PRos: These shoes will not disintergrat like the Avia or Ecco shoes. Definitely old school

It's nice to have some canvas tennis shoes again like when I was a kid. I hate these new clod-hopper styled leather tennis shoes. Too hot to wear as my feet just fry in them.
These are not built like the shoes of the 60's I grew up with, however if you add a cheap insert, I need arch support, they fit & feel great. Love the colors too!!

Chone Figgins was DFA'd, should Mets make a run?
Jason Wilson asked on Twitter: "Now that he has been released, how about taking a flier on Chone Figgins? He's cheap and a fresh start could help."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Figgins was pretty terrible last season. I'm talking Jason Bay-level terrible. He was no better in 2011.
He had a breakout season for the Angels in 2009, after which he signed a four-year, $36 million contract with Seattle as a free agent. He was designated for assignment, despite having one year and $8 million left on his deal.
Why was Figgins so bad? It's unclear, but M's fans and media will say he was never the same after being moved from the lead-off spot, then made worse by moving him from the outfield to second base. It sounds like the difference between Bay and Figgins might be that, while people think Bay lost skills and is unfixable, M's people feel Figgins still has it, he just needs to find it again… at least that's how I hear it.
To be an upgrade for the Mets, he wouldn't even have to be close to what he did 2009. I mean, his 2007, 2008 would be a significant upgrade, frankly. So, I expect teams to be interested in him and it's hardly a given he ends up signing a minor-league deal or for the league minimum. I expect a small, niche market to develop for Figgins, which could result in him getting a one-year deal.
I'd like to see the Mets make a run at him, but they should by no means go crazy to get him.

We adore anything that can help us conceal a not-so-great hair day. As such, it probably comes as no surprise that we are huge fans of dry shampoo, hats, and the focus of today's Runway to Real Way: the knotted head wrap. Spotted on the Marc Jacobs S/S 12 runway and seen on the likes of Rihanna, Nicole Richie, and Lana Del Rey, this hair accessory can reference anything from old Hollywood glamour to rockabilly flair.
To ensure you look modern and marvelous instead of kitschy, one thing is imperative: don't use a bandana. (It's a little too Rosie the Riveter.) Instead, take inspiration from the runway and go for an elegant fabric like silk. Marc Jacobs showed a Radzimir Head Wrap ($185) in a stunning shade of cornflower blue, while hair accessories guru Jennifer Behr designed a Matte Silk Kerchief Headwrap ($148) in a striking chartreuse and ice blue. Of course, investing isn't necessary; you could also pick up Madewell's Flag Headscarf ($14) for a song, though you'll have to fold and tie it yourself.

Luciferase reporter assays are critical tools for the cancer researcher because they are well suited for quantifying important cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and death. This is due to their wide dynamic range, low endogenous activity, and ease of use. In particular, luciferase reporter assays have been crucial tools in elucidating transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control many aspects of cell physiology and function. Recent improvements within the pGL4 Family of Luciferase Reporter Vectors have further improved the utility of these vectors to meet the demands researchers in both academic and pharmaceutical settings. Our efforts to improve the luciferase reporter gene have enhanced both the dynamic range and the temporal response of luciferase reporter assays. We codon optimized the luc2 and hRluc reporter gene open reading frames to facilitate more efficient expression leading to higher levels of luciferase protein.
Comparison of several different cell lines transfected with luc2 versus luc+ reporter vectors validates that luc2 transfected cells have significantly higher light output than luc+ transfected cells. To enable more rapid assay kinetics and reducing assay time, we incorporated protein destabilization domains into the luciferase protein sequence. The combination of these improvements results in a reporter gene that allows high luciferase protein expression that closely mirrors the transcriptional status of the luciferase gene. In addition the pGL4 Vector backbone has been optimized to significantly reduce the number of potential consensus transcription factor binding sites and lower uninduced levels of the luciferase reporter. These improvements have been incorporated into our GloResponse™ Reporter Cell Lines to generate high quality stable reporter cell lines that facilitate study of the cAMP and NFAT signaling pathways in HEK293 cells.

THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: INTERROGATIONS; How Colonel Risked His Career By Menacing Detainee and Lost
By DEBORAH SONTAG; Ian Fisher contributed reporting from Baghdad for this article.
Published: May 27, 2004
PLANTATION, Fla.— In western Broward County, where Lt. Col. Allen B. West, 43, is preparing to start life over as a high school social studies teacher, the grass is green, the air is moist and the pressure is barometric. Iraq seems very far away, as does the night last August when Colonel West used his gun to coerce an Iraqi police officer during an interrogation.
Intent on foiling a reported plot to ambush him and his men, Colonel West, a battalion commander, made a calculated decision to intimidate the Iraqi officer with a show of force. An interrogation under way was going nowhere, Colonel West said in an interview, and he chose to take the matter into his own hands.
''This could get ugly,'' he told his soldiers. But, he said, he imposed limits: ''This man will not be injured and he will not have to be repaired. There will be no blood and no breakage of bones.''
Still, Colonel West wanted the Iraqi policeman, Yehiya Kadoori Hamoodi, to think ''this was going to be the end'' if he did not divulge what he knew. So Colonel West presided over what he considered a time-sensitive interrogation that grew steadily more abusive until he himself fired a pistol beside Mr. Hamoodi's head.
A strait-laced, by-the-book senior officer, Colonel West deliberately disregarded Army rules and regulations, gambling -- and eventually losing -- a successful 22-year military career that seemed destined for further advancement.
''There are rules and regulations, and there's protecting your soldiers,'' Colonel West said, sitting by a man-made waterway behind his family's new home in a Florida subdivision. ''I just felt I'd never have to write a letter of condolence home to a 'rule and regulation.' ''
''The fact is, I made a choice, the choice had consequences and I accept that,'' he continued.
But, he added, the events of that hot, dusty night still disturb him: ''I'm not some bully who goes around threatening men's lives. Certain things we have to do in war are outside our character.''
Many months before the Abu Ghraib prison scandal raised questions about whether the military was permitting or tolerating the mistreatment of detainees, the Army pointedly rejected Colonel West's aggressive tactics during that single interrogation.
Expressing concern that his behavior could send the signal that abuse was acceptable as a means to an end, the Army relieved Colonel West of his command and contemplated court-martialing him on assault charges.
When Colonel West's case became public last fall, it, too, provoked a debate about appropriate conduct during wartime. But that debate had a far different tenor than the much larger one raging now.
No one is suggesting now that the abuse of the Abu Ghraib detainees was justified or that the military is being overzealous in policing itself. Then, however, Colonel West's many defenders argued that the military should have viewed Colonel West as a hero who did not disobey rules so much as rise above them.
The conservative media personalities and Web sites that raised money for his legal defense portrayed a military hamstrung by concern for the human rights of Iraqi detainees. The more than 2,300 letters and e-mail messages that he received were mostly ''thank you'' notes for putting his men first and resisting the pressure to treat suspects with kid gloves.
Ninety-five members of Congress signed a letter to the secretary of the Army supporting the colonel.
Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, a Republican and chairman of the Armed Services Committee, who has pressed for accountability in the Abu Ghraib affair, expressed empathy for the colonel in a letter to constituents. ''As a former Marine Corps officer, I support Colonel West's judgment,'' he wrote. ''I understand the colonel was well-intentioned and his efforts appear solely intended to protect the lives of troops under his command.''
In his letter, Senator Warner stated that one potential attacker was apprehended and potential ambush sites were identified and avoided as a result of Mr. Hamoodi's interrogation. Colonel West notes that there were no further attacks on him or his men after the interrogation.
But the record of his case is unclear on whether the Iraqi officer provided valuable information, and Mr. Hamoodi said in an interview that he did not, because he knew nothing.
Neal A. Puckett, a lawyer who represented Colonel West and now represents Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who oversaw Abu Ghraib and other prisons, said the intelligence officers he interviewed in Iraq last fall were highly frustrated with their inability to extract information.
''The detainees would regularly treat interrogators with contempt, spit on them, laugh at them and say, 'We don't have to answer your questions,' '' he said. ''They would turn our humanity and our following of the Geneva Conventions against us.''
The information-gathering system was not running efficiently, either, Mr. Puckett said. The interrogation specialist at Colonel West's base was a ''nice young gal oblivious to all things Arab,'' like the common phrase ''inshallah,'' or ''God willing,'' Mr. Puckett said. Information collected was not systematically compiled, he added.
''Problems like that, I've got to believe, put pressure to bear on folks tasked with gathering information,'' he said.

Submission Nokia Siemens To Buy Motorola Unit For $1.2B ->
sylverboss writes: Acquisition of Motorola's mobile network infrastructure business gives Nokia an entry to the U.S. market, where it has long struggled. After several months of failing to break itself up, Motorola finally succeeded Monday as it sold off most of its mobile network infrastructure unit for $1.2 billion to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN). The deal gives Nokia — the world's leading supplier of mobile handsets — an invigorated entrance to the U.S. market where it has lagged far behind other handset suppliers such as Apple.

Artis is a Seattle-based artist who does a lot of political commentary / topical songs, and (obviously) rips out on the spoons. He opened for Phish in Seattle and also in Portland & Olympia (and maybe one other show) during this run. In Seattle, many of us were sitting on the dance floor in front of the stage (no seats, just a wood dance floor) for the opener, and Trey came out and sat next to me (pure chance) and dug all of Artis's show. The guy was very engaging.
When he walked on with Phish during Brother, it was exhilarating, and the band seemed to be having a lot of fun with him up there. Not sure what version of the tape you have (or whether this is on Phish OD or any similar service), but when the band came out for the encore, the emcee said, "from Vermont - Phish!" and Trey followed right up with, "from EVERYWHERE, Artis the Spoonman!"
While I agree that you might not want spoons at every show, it was great, it was fun, and it was a one-off novelty. I got the cassette a couple years after the show, when I still lived on the East coast. When I moved to Seattle in '99, I ran into Artis at Folklife festival. I talked to him about sitting in with Phish. He remembered the experience fondly. I burned a copy of the tape for him (this was before MP3s were around, kids). He was gracious, just as he was on stage with Phish.
Anyway - I think this was terrific show. I thought the band, all-in-all, was hotter than the night before, and I think the recordings bear this out.
My 2 cents.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- For the seventh time in the nine-year existence of the award, Creighton University has been recognized with the Missouri Valley Conference All-Academic Award. Bluejay student-athletes posted a 3.33 cumulative grade-point average over the 2010-11 academic calendar, matching the school's best mark ever. Creighton previously shared the award in 2003-04 and was the outright winner in 2004-05 and in each of the last five years.
Notably, 105 of Creighton's 237 student-athletes (44.3 percent) earned a 3.50 GPA or better during the spring 2011 semester. Also, Creighton had 135 student-athletes make the Dean's List at least once last year, including 73 student-athletes who earned the honor both semesters.
In addition, 18 student-athletes (7.6 percent) earned perfect 4.00 GPAs during the spring 2011 semester; 180 student-athletes (75.9 percent) earned a 3.00 GPA or better in the spring of 2011 semester; and 11 teams (women's basketball, crew, men's cross country, women's cross country, men's golf, women's golf, women's soccer, softball, men's tennis, women's tennis and volleyball) had team GPAs of 3.15 or better and every team owns a cumulative GPA of 2.82 or better.
Creighton received the 2011 American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award for having a team GPA of 3.45 last spring and a 3.42 cumulative GPA. Bluejay volleyball also won the award in 1998, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Creighton now owns 33 CoSIDA Academic All-American honors. Last year sophomore baseball pitcher Ty Blach was named a third-team Academic All-American.
The MVC All-Academic Award was first recommended by the league faculty representatives in hopes of recognizing institutional academic excellence. The MVC Joint Committee quickly took its lead to establish this prestigious award. The conference academic excellence award is based on the average student-athlete grade-point average for the academic year. The GPA calculations are tallied for all student-athletes in MVC-sponsored sports who compete, practice or received athletic aid during the academic year.

Down Sleeping Bags
- 6 Items
- 6 Items
Down sleeping bags are lightweight, highly compressible, and will keep you toasty for the long haul. The technology behind sleeping bags has come a long way in recent years, meaning you can stay warmer and carry less weight at the same time. When every ounce—and every temperature degree—matters, the right down sleeping bag can mean everything.
The difference that a down sleeping bag brings is all about the insulation. No manmade fiber can stand up to the incredible warmth and lightweight capabilities of natural goose or duck down. In this, as in most things, Mother Nature has managed what no amount of manufacturing can. Of course, that doesn't mean we haven't tried. Although most companies promote safe and ethical down collection, you can also find synthetic fills that make a difference.
Choosing the Right Down Sleeping Bag
Choosing the right bag for your adventure is an extremely important consideration when venturing into the great outdoors. Without proper rest, even the hardiest individual will be worn down quickly. Our premium sleeping bags feature the best natural fills offered to date for excellent warmth-to-weight ratios, compressibility, and durability.
Marmot sleeping bags are always a top-rated choice, especially if you need warmth that will sustain you down to sub-freezing temperatures. The unique design of these bags traps your natural body heat while also making sure you have easy in and out access all night long. Sleeping bags from Mountain Hardwear are another great choice, with both men and women sizes that promote warmth and comfort at the same time.
No matter what brand you choose, always look at the temperature ratings and sizes before you purchase. Because these down sleeping bags are designed to make the most of your natural heat, you want a close fit that will still give you enough room to move around and stay comfortable.
The products in the Down Sleeping Bags category have an average rating of 4.7 of 5 from 32 customer reviews.

Indonesia is home to 5.4 million children in need -- some are orphans, others victims of domestic violence -- with about 300,000 registered with the government as street children. But the social affairs ministry believes there are 'tens of thousands' more unregistered children, although actual numbers are not known. There is also little data on the prevalence of sex abuse among the children. AFP PHOTO / ADEK BERRY (Photo credit should read ADEK BERRY/AFP/Getty Images)

Dr. Alberto LaCava: Renaissance Man
Robert Heinlein once laid out an incredibly varied list of abilities one should possess, including "chang[ing] a diaper, plan[ning] an invasion, butcher[ing] a hog, conn[ing] a ship, design[ing] a building" and many more. "Specialization," he said, "is for insects." Although it is not clear whether Felician College's Dr. Alberto LaCava could work his way through Heinlein's particular and prescriptive laundry list of abilities, there is no question that his wide range of knowledge and ability makes him a modern-day embodiment of the Renaissance man.
Because of the talent, impressive training credentials, and vision Dr. LaCava brings to his role at Felician College as a professor of computer information systems, it may be surprising to some that his Ph.D., earned at The University of London's Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, is actually in chemical engineering. It was his research in chemical engineering that led him to push the envelope in computer modeling and simulation and helped him to develop his expertise in computer information systems. It has also earned him what he quantifies as "twenty or thirty" patents. Indeed, he continues to pursue research opportunities in chemical engineering that place him in the vanguard technological advancements.
Dr. LaCava joined Felician's Department of Computer Science as a Full Professor in 2002. As department chair from 2003 to 2006, he directed the development of four degree programs, including a bachelor's degree and minor in computer information systems, and a fast-track degree program for adult undergraduate students.
Felician's community of students and the flexibility to create new programs are what Dr. LaCava identifies as his favorite aspects of the College. He can be found teaching up to six courses during any given semester, splitting his teaching load about evenly between courses offered to traditional undergraduates and courses for adult undergrads. His current favorite courses to teach are in the high-demand field of Information Assurance and Security. However, he also offers a course in nursing informatics for undergraduate nursing students, and a graduate course in data and healthcare for students in the Master of Science in Nursing Executive Track.
In the area of computer information systems, Dr. LaCava has completed training at Purdue University, under a program of with the National Security Agency to become certified in Information Assurance Graduate Education, and is certified as an Administrator, Professional, Security Specialist, and Academy Certified Instructor through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). He is passionate about Felician's offerings in Information Assurance and Security, noting that students emerge from the program "with the experience and entrepreneurial spirit needed to maintain a position in front of threats, protecting data and identifying breaches of security within corporations or government agencies."
Dr. LaCava is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards in research and development, innovation, and technology. His extensive publications explore areas including computer modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence applications, and chemical engineering. He is currently working with a team from Lehigh University researching a method for carbon dioxide capture, as well as consulting for AMCS, a New Jersey company working on development of an ethanol synthesis technique.
Despite the long list of accolades and accomplishments Dr. LaCava has built, he is unfailingly approachable and disarmingly humble. His work on technologies such as carbon dioxide capture might conceivably play a huge role in climate preservation in the future. Yet, when asked for this article whether he ever feels like he might just be saving the world, this man of extensive and various accomplishment turned his eyes down with a slightly embarrassed smile and said, "Well, you know, maybe just a little bit, but one must have humility."

|Avery SO Charges Two Women in Meth Counts
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 05 March 2013 07:37
Two women have been charged in separate investigations by the Avery Sheriff's Office involving methamphetamines. Friday, officers with the Avery County Sheriff Office and the Beech Mountain Police Department arrested thirty-six year old Jacquelyn Robin Boone of Elizabethton, Tn.
after officers with the Avery Sheriff's Office received information about possible drug activity at the Pinnacle Inn on Beech Mountain. When officers arrived at the location, they were given consent to search the entire residence and found evidence of an active methamphetamine lab, leading to the arrest of Jacquelyn Boone. The Tennessee woman was set a bond of $25,000.
The earlier investigation led to the February 20th arrest of Beverly Gwyn Harmon. Deputies of the Avery County Sheriff's Office made traffic stop on US 19E, and upon questioning the driver of the vehicle about a suspended driver's license, obtained consent to search the vehicle. Officers located a glass methamphetamine pipe and one gram of methamphetamine, leading to the arrest of Beverly Gwyn Harmon, and after the arrest of the 45-year old woman, officers recovered an additional bag of marijuana and a pipe. Beverly Harmon was transported to the Avery County Jail and was set a $3000.00 bond.

In the Fukanzazengi, Dogen's manual of Zen meditation, he succinctly describes the form for practicing zazen:
At the site of your regular sitting, spread out thick matting and place a cushion above it. Sit either in the full-lotus or half-lotus position. In the full-lotus position, you first place your right foot on your left thigh and your left foot on your right thigh. In the half-lotus, you simply press your left foot against your right thigh. You should have your robes and belt loosely bound and arranged in order. Then place your right hand on your left leg and your left palm (facing upwards) on your right palm, thumb-tips touching. Thus sit upright in correct bodily posture, neither inclining to the left nor to the right, neither leaning forward nor backward. Be sure your ears are on a plane with your shoulders and your nose in line with your navel. Place your tongue against the front roof of your mouth, with teeth and lips both shut. Your eyes should always remain open, and you should breathe gently through your nose. Once you have adjusted your posture, take a deep breath, inhale and exhale, rock your body right and left and settle into a steady, immobile sitting position.
This is pretty clear and straightforward. The practice of Zen meditation, as taught by Dogen, places a particular emphasis on the external form that the body takes. This is in fact the position that the Buddha took when he attained enlightenment, and we are to take the same posture, and thereby express the sane, wakeful quality of our hearts. Of course today we recognize that each person's expression of Buddha's posture is different – some may sit in half lotus, some may sit on a bench, some may lie down – but in our practice, each of us is expressing our awakened hearts by putting our bodies into a specific posture.
One of the hallmarks of formal Zen Buddhist practice is that it involves placing significant limitations on our activity. We walk in a certain way, we bow in a certain way, and we sit still for a long time. This can look pretty austere – and it can sometimes feel that way too! – but if you stick with it, most people find that there's something liberating about giving yourself over to the restrictions of the formal practice.
I think there's an analogy in music. We don't make beautiful music simply by playing whatever notes we want, whenever we want. Think about the music of Bach or Mozart. They are highly structured pieces, and we make beautiful music by limiting ourselves to play particular notes in a particular key, with strictly regulated tempo and harmony. If we just play a bunch of notes, we can't make music; we make noise, dissonance. So in a similar way, in our Zen practice as in the rest of our lives, we have to limit ourselves. But it is through this limitation that we give voice to the music of our lives.
Dogen expands on this point in Genjo Koan:
A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. A bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. However, the fish and the bird have never left their elements. When their activity is large their field is large. When their need is small their field is small. Thus, each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm. If the bird leaves the air it will die at once. If the fish leaves the water it will die at once. Know that water is life and air is life. The bird is life and the fish is life. Life must be the bird and life must be the fish.
It is possible to illustrate this with more analogies. Practice, enlightenment, and people are like this.
Now if a bird or a fish tries to reach the end of its element before moving in it, this bird or this fish will not find its way or its place. When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point. When you find you way at this moment, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point; for the place, the way, is neither large nor small, neither yours nor others'. The place, the way, has not carried over from the past and it is not merely arising now.
Accordingly, in the practice-enlightenment of the buddha way, meeting one thing is mastering it–doing one practice is practicing completely.
No matter what our life circumstances may be, we have some element. In the zendo, our element is the formal practice of Soto Zen Buddhism. If we are able to relax into the forms of our practice, we will naturally covering our full range. When we completely do the formal practice, we never reach the end of it. This is why we can continue to practice day after day, year after year and continue to find depth and support in the practice of zazen.
I have always been inspired by Dogen's statement that doing one practice is practicing completely. This reminds me of a story about the great choreographer George Balanchine of the New York City Ballet. One of the lead ballerinas was having difficulty with one of his dances, and rather than working with her on the whole dance, Balanchine just had her practice one particular turn of her foot, over and over and over again. When she got that, the rest of the dance came together for her. This is one practice, practicing completely.
On the other hand, if we're sitting in the zendo grumbling about having to sit still for so long or about having to face the wall when you'd rather face the center of the room, or about having to bow in a certain way, that is trying to reach the end of our element before moving in it, and we will not find our way. We all know this feeling. This is what happens when we get overwhelmed by life and try to do too many things at once, or when we wish that our life situation was different from what it is. So, as always, the practice is just to come back to what is, to totally experience our realm.
When we can do that, even if it's just for a moment, that's a moment of complete practice. What is the element of your life? How do you play the music of your life?

It must be somewhere, the original harmony,

LYONS FALLS More than half a million dollars is coming to Lewis County, in the form of a Brownfield Opportunity Areas grant, for cleanup and redevelopment of dormant and potentially contaminated properties.
Lyons Falls will receive $553,761 for projects that Mayor Catherine L. Liendecker said she hopes will bring a variety of businesses to the community.
Mrs. Liendecker said the funds will be distributed among four primary sites throughout the village.
There are several ways the money is planned to be spent, with marketing strategies and testing of the areas a priority.
The site of the former Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper mill is the largest of the areas.
It will be a major part of it, Mrs. Liendecker said.
Owned by the Lewis County Development Corp. and in the beginning stages of an expected cleanup project, the former mill site contains approximately 24 buildings in various stages of decay. While some may be salvageable, a majority will require removal.
That removal will allow the expansion of a hydroelectric complex owned by Northbrook Lyons Falls, a subsidiary of Kruger Energy, Montreal, and an eventual mixed-used development that could include light industrial, retail or residential areas.
Mrs. Liendecker said some interest already has been generated from the possibility of usable property on that site in the form of a biorefinery.
The second site, at Cherry and McAlpine streets, is a vacant building known as the old Marinos.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has not yet granted final clearance to use the property, according to Mrs. Liendecker. That clearance will open the building up to a variety of uses.
Property owner Terry J. Thisse said the area, once owned by Alaskan Oil, has been cleaned and hes been told its ready to go.
On McAlpine Street, two additional sites are privately owned. Though Mrs. Liendecker was unsure of the level of involvement the owners will want, issues to address with the former train station and the former Lyons Falls Elementary School were specified on the grant application.
This really is great news for the whole county, not just the village, Mrs. Liendecker said.
One of our key elements is tourism, she said. We have two rivers and the falls.
In attracting businesses to the future sites, she said, Were not going to put all our eggs in one basket. Wed like diversity and different sorts of businesses.
