Juneau International Airport is getting a second X-ray machine to handle the piles of luggage that build up during the morning air traffic rush hour.
The Transportation Security Administration approved the new scanner after hearing from the Juneau Assembly, airport officials, Alaska Airlines and the state's Congressional delegation.
Airport Manager Patty deLaBruere says in the past year Alaska Airlines and TSA employees have had trouble moving luggage through the scanner, even when it's a normal amount.
"What was happening, especially if anyone had come in during those morning bank of flights, in the summer you'd see several hundred bags stacked out in the lobby and it was kind of a mess," deLaBruere says.
Five early morning flights depart the Juneau airport every day during the summer months, with one leaving roughly every half hour between 7 and 8:30 a.m.
DeLaBruere says the baggage problem has caused delays and was still an issue over the winter, when there are fewer departures. With Delta Air Lines offering flights to and from Juneau this summer, she says it was only going to get worse.
In addition to a second X-ray machine, deLaBruere says TSA agreed to increase staffing at the airport.
"We've seen a decrease in the staffing over the last year," she says. "We don't have the numbers yet for the staffing, but we did get approval for the scanner and the staffing to go with it."
TSA officials could not be reached for comment.
DeLaBruere's not sure when the new scanner will arrive in Juneau. She says the machine will be located in the lobby, near the Alaska Airlines check-in counter.

Occupy Wall Street plans May 1 action
Socialists and trade union movements have long used May Day as a protest day
By Frankie Edozien
The New York Times Blogs
NEW YORK — For decades, workers in Europe, South America and China have been celebrated with an official holiday on May Day.
The United States, however, has not followed suit. (And Britain and Canada have tried to wash out the holiday's leftist hues.) Even though the day's origins date to a riot in Chicago in 1886 known as the Haymarket massacre, labor is celebrated Stateside in early September.
Socialists and trade union movements have long used May Day as a protest day. And on Tuesday, May 1, the Occupy movement will attempt to bring 125 U.S. cities to a standstill in commemoration of International Workers Day.

Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering if anybody knows of a good source of Grassfed/finished meat somewhere in or near Fairbanks that is reasonably priced. I have heard that Delta Meat might be pretty good. Does anybody have any experience with them, or any others?
Delta Meat and Sausage might be able to direct you to a rancher in Delta.
I don't recall any that specifically raised beef cattle on grass however, the Fellman's Dairy (part of Northernlights Dairy) let their dairy cows graze in the pastures during the summer. We have had some of their dairy cow after it was butched due to old age and OMG! So good. They really care for their cows.
What about the Hollembeck Ranch? they raise buffalo and elk, maybe cows too. They are all raised on a 1000 acre ranch, I have never seen them feed anything but hay and grasses.

Linux Professional Institute puts Linux in the classrooms
Do you want a job in IT? Then you really need to learn Linux and open-source software.
When I was at the open-source OSCon convention earlier this year, everyone, and I mean everyone, including Microsoft, was looking to hire people with Linux and open-source experience. A recent Dice and Linux Foundation survey found that 93 percent of employers were looking to hire Linux staffers in the next six months and that 90 percent were having trouble finding qualified individuals.
The problem is that there aren't enough Linux-savvy people around. The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the oldest, non-vendor linked Linux certification organization, has a solution: The LPI Academy.

In a Quiet Market for PCs, Chromebooks are Marching Steadily Forward
It's no secret that Chrome OS has not been the same striking success for Google that the Android OS has been. And yet, Chromebooks--portable computers running the platform--have not only found their niche, but they are also introducing a new generation to cloud computing. Chromebooks are firmly entrenched in the education market, where many young users have become used to the convention of storing apps and data in the cloud. Now, according to new research from Gartner, Chromebooks are ready to hit new milestones. Analysts there report that Chromebook shipment growth will be in the double digits this year. At the same time, though, Chromebooks have not become fixtures in the enterprise, replacing Windows PCs.

Leicester unprepared for zombie attack
Leicester City Council has admitted that it's not ready for a fully fledged zombie invasion after a member of the public expressed concerns over the city's defences.
The council said it had received a freedom of information request relating to the matter which had pointed to poor preparations for dealing with zombies.
This isn't the first unusual FOI request that the council has received, Lynn Wyeth, head of information governance told the BBC that there had been requests for records of paranormal activity and haunted buildings in the city.
"Everybody has their own interests and their own reasons for asking these questions," she said.
Freedom of information requests are typically used by journalists and members of the public to find out more about government and local councils. They played a key role in the recent MPs expenses claims stories.
For those living in the Leicester area concerned about the lack of zombie defences, consider consulting Zombiesarecoming.com, which lists everything you will need to combat an invasion.
Some have taken provisions and preparations to an extreme, the 'safe house' designed by KWK Promes is entirely zombie-proof, sealing family members inside behind massively thick concrete walls.
Leicester council members keen to brush up on their zombie defence skills should check out Resident Evil Revelations headed to the 3DS.

Better Chance of Becoming Governor: Andrew Thomas or Clifford the Big Red Dog?
Clifford the Big Red Dog (left) and Andrew Thomas.
Disbarred, disgraced, and apparently delusional former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas has actually filed to run for governor in 2014.
"Candy" Andy still insists he did absolutely nothing wrong, although the county just added $1.4 million to the taxpayers' $5 million tab for Thomas' and Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "unholy collaboration" in their power-abusing fights against county political enemies.

Tom Reiss: The Orientalist: Solving the Mystery of a Strange and Dangerous Life
The best biographies are those that illuminate not just a person, but a time, a place, a world. Tom Riess's The Oriientalist is one of those. One reason Riess is able to use his tremendous skill as a writer and researcher to such good effect is that his subject, Lev Nussimbaum, aka Essad Bey, aka Kurban Said, though a prolific and successful writer in the 1920s, '30s, and 40s, has left in his wake, with the possible exception of his novel, Ali and Nino, none of the grand achievements of the sort that usually attract biographers. Thus the book is more about the world through which this Zelig-like chameleon moved than about the man himself. And that world—from Azerbaijan to Turkey to Paris to Berlin to Positano and beyond—is horrible and fascinating, and wonderful. Off now to find a copy of Ali and Nino.
James Ellroy: Perfidia
The good thing about James Ellroy is that his prose has style, or to be more precise, his prose is other than the approved plain style. The bad thing about Ellroy is that—and this is something that threatens any writer who attempts something other than that safe plain style—his style had become mannered. In the last Ellroy I read, and this was some years ago, it seemed to me that his prose style had become a parody of itself: taut and austere had become all one sentence paragraphs, one word sentences, and I tired of it. Further, since his characters walk the same mean streets as Philip Marlowe, it was hard not to draw comparisons. Ellroy came up short in those comparisons, but to be fair, so does pretty much any other writer of this kind of fiction. But . . . I decided to give him another try. With Perfidia he's launched a new series of novels set in and around Los Angeles. This one takes place during the days just before and after Pearl Harbor, and if the novel has one great strength it his his demystification of the "greatest generation," those sometimes heroic alcoholic racists and bigots about whom, for our sins, we hear so much. Such demystification is more than welcome, and I was so sucked into the labyrinthine scheming of his characters, some of whom, like Bette Davis and Fletcher Bowron, existed off the page, that the style became a non-issue. When I purposely slowed my pace to have a close look at what Ellroy was doing with words I found that he had drifted toward the safe plain style and away from machine gun bluntness, and this did not seem to me to be a bad thing. His prose will never be literary—thank the GSM for that—but it now seems appropriate for the stories he wants to tell.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Selected Poems (Phoenix Poetry)
It was nice to sit down and not just read the odd Coleridge poem here and there, but to read several together. One sees, at least in this collection, his Christianity drop away and his gloom increase, and can only speculate on the role opium played in all this. I'm eager now to sit down with the Coleridge biography that's been sitting on my shelf for a decade or so.
Tim Powers: Medusa's Web: A Novel
An artful mix of science fiction and Hollywood fiction that will ring true to those of us who have lived in Hollywood, but were not in "the business." Tim Powers gets the landscape right, and that provides a good grounding for the truly other aliens he creates and those aliens' meddling in human affairs, particular the affairs of an odd family in a gothic estate—such places exist—just a few blocks north of Sunset. Unfortunately, and since I read this novel right after Jeanette Winterson's The Passion this was thrown into stark relief, Powers's sentences get the job done, but that is all.
Jeanette Winterson: The Passion
I remember when books like Oranges are Not the Only Fruit were appearing and readers around me, readers I respected, were excited. Somehow, though I never picked up a Jeanette Winterson novel until now. My loss. The Passion is a superb historical novel, that is superb precisely because it does not foreground the fustian and tedious detail that weigh down much of that genre, but rather is a book that can be read for its beautiful sentences. Set during the Napoleonic wars it weaves together the story of a cook in Napoleon's army and that of a gambler from Venice. One moves eagerly between the two tales, and the delight is only doubled when the story lines come together. Now, to start getting caught up with the rest of Winterson's work.
Giuseppe di Lampedusa: The Leopard
A self-aware Sicilian prince, the Leopard of the title, in the time of Garibaldi observes the world he has known crumble. Occasionally sad, occasionally furious, he watches for the most part with detachment; his creator, the author, Giuseppe di Lampedusa, views the Prince with humor and affection as he ambles through his life. There is no great action in the book, but Di Lampedusa makes the characters who surround the prince--Sicilians and Northerners, new men and old--human. His compassion for his characters, however flawed they are, reminds one, though the milieu couldn't be more different, of the greatest of all humanist artists, Yasujiro Ozu.
Edmund Crispin: Holy Disorders: Gervase Fen #2
I guess a novel published in the mid-1940s still qualifies as a Golden Age mystery, and thus legitimately partakes of the cleverness and silliness that characterize that category. One unusual aspect of Edmund Crispin's Gervase Fen books is that the title character, though typically eccentric and erudite, is also entirely unappealing. Indeed one becomes much more interested in characters who appear in this novel, Holy Disorders, but will not return in the rest of the series, because, well, they can't. I'd better stop here before giving anything away, because solving the puzzle is a big part of the attraction of novels of this sort, and advance knowledge would spoil the fun.
Anne Tyler: Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant
I read this for its reputation as the prolific author's best novel. It's absorbing, with rounded characters and an involving plot that distract from the conclusion, obvious when it arrives and no less satisfying for that. Novels are said to boost our empathy. Chalk this delightful, sometimes painful family saga as a case in point: I think I understand people a little better for having read it. An enjoyable book, and I've added more Tyler to my reading list. (****)
Hanya Yanagihara: A Little Life
This saga, which features supple prose and sometimes luminous description, follows the lives of four college friends and a handful of others close to them, but it eventually centers upon one life of almost unrelieved mental and physical pain, chronicled in excruciating detail. After dutifully reading the first 350 pages, I could bear it no longer and paged past the sufferings of the subsequent 350. I think I know what the author was aiming for—something that's spelled out on the last page—and the book succeeds at it, but a homeopathic dose of the bitter medicine would have done it for me. (****)
Kazuo Ishiguro: The Buried Giant: A novel
My first Ishiguro, and a new genre for me: Arthurian fantasy romance. In spite of pixies, ogres and dragons, it pretty much worked; I lost myself in the mannered prose and solid storytelling, and now want to know more about that period of history. I regretted the vague ending. There were other loose ends; I don't desire a sequel but if it came I care enough about the characters to want to read it. However, nothing here makes me reach for earlier Ishiguro. (Let me know if I should.) (***)
Graham Swift (and 24 others): The Penguin Book of the Beach
It was a brilliant idea to compile a book of short stories by world writers, all related to the beach: the sand, sun, sparkling sea, swimming, seaweed, fish. (Storms and dead bodies, too, of course.) Perfect reading in the run up to summer, and now I can't wait to spend time on the real thing. (***)
Artemis Cooper: Patrick Leigh Fermor: An Adventure
Patrick Leigh Fermor: adventurer, lover, polyglot, grecophile, author, both bon vivant and frequenter of dive bars, at home with aristocrat and peasant, a person of courage, loyalty, and with an extraordinary gift for friendship. His eventful life is given a splendid and honest telling here. (***)
Jennifer Egan: A Visit from the Goon Squad
At first, the chapters came on like short stories about overlapping characters. Then it was annoying that these tour-de-force fragments seemed so arbitrary and hard to piece together. It finally coalesced into a novel--albeit one dashed to pieces--with characters I grew to love. After finishing, I've started right back at the beginning, to glean information about them that I missed first time around. It is an irritating book, but written with such verve, passion, inventiveness and skill that all is forgiven and then some. My favorite novel since "Atonement" maybe. (*****)
Jhumpa Lahiri: The Namesake
A story of an immigrant experience, of growing up, of relationships, told in a relentless present tense. It took me awhile to be wholly interested in the characters, but the straightforward, detailed telling gradually drew me in. (***)

EXCLUSIVE: Teddy Schwarzman's Black Bear Pictures has set Eddie Redmayne to star in The Last Days Of Night, joining director Morten Tyldum and screenwriterGraham Moore to tell the story about the battle between industrial age titans Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse to electrify America. Redmayne will play famed lawyer Paul Cravath, in his first major career-making case. Schwarzman's Black Bear teamed with Tyldum and Moore in The Imitation Game, and just before Cannes, Black Bear won an auction for this property, a package that included Moore's scripted adaptation of his book on the subject that Random House will publish with great fanfare August 16. And Tyldum attached to direct as his followup to Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. The Last Days Of Night will start production in the UK late January in anticipation of a fall 2017 release.
Like The Imitation Game —which earned Moore an Oscar and got seven other nominations including Best Director and Best Picture — The Last Days Of Night is built around the complexities and eccentricities of seminal technological geniuses. The publisher describes it as being "about the nature of genius, the cost of ambition, and the battle to electrify America. New York, 1888. The miracle of electric light is in its infancy. Thomas Edison has won the race to the patent office and is suing his only remaining rival, George Westinghouse, for the unheard of sum of one billion dollars. To defend himself, Westinghouse makes a surprising choice in his attorney: He hires an untested twenty-six-year-old fresh out of Columbia Law School, Cravath. The task facing Cravath is beyond daunting. Edison proves to be a formidable, wily, and dangerous opponent. Yet this young, unknown attorney shares with his famous opponent a compulsion to win at all costs. How will he do it? As he takes greater and greater risks, he'll find that everyone in his path is playing their own game, and no one is quite who they seem." Woven into the tale are Nikola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, Stanford White and other technological titans of the late 19th century.
The intriguing thing here is that it sets up a race with two key components of The Imitation Game who are not part of this. Benedict Cumberbatch is attached to The Weinstein Company's rival project The Current War, with Cumberbatch to play Edison and possibly Jake Gyllenhaal as Westinghouse in the race to electrify America. Me And Earl And The Dying Girl's Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is attached to direct.
Redmayne is repped by CAA, United Agents, Gene Parseghian of Parseghian Planco and Untitled Entertainment.

Philip Hefner calls for religion-and-science to shift attention from pure ideas to embodied ideas. He urges scholars to get back to the Baconian idea that science is intended to enhance life; in Hefner's wording, we must give attention to "science-as-enabler-for-changing/improving-the-world." I believe that this is the realm of overlap between all academic disciplines—what I call the pragmatic overlap. To make his argument Hefner mentions two forms of "conventional wisdom" that need to be rethought. First, he is worried that a "pressure toward naturalism" prevents certain words (such as teleological and transcendence) from having instructive meaning. Second, with this move toward naturalism Hefner believes we dismiss as archaic all valuable implications of traditional religious myths and symbols. He rightly highlights these exceedingly significant concerns. However, narrowing our focus to the implications of naturalism alone misses the root crisis. That crisis can be articulated as: "conventional wisdom" regarding nature is too unsophisticated to account for the phenomenon it depicts, and furthermore, this understanding of nature controls the methodological, metaphysical, and practical versions of naturalism acquiring societal acceptance. Accordingly, an alternative vision of nature is needed to transform our current "conventional wisdom" such that Hefner's worries are addressed.

Some have hinted the New England Patriots were a one-man-show for years. Tom Brady proved it in 2013.
Wes Welker left for the Denver Broncos via free agency. Rob Gronkowski spent the entire offseason recovering from arm and back surgeries. Plus, Aaron Hernandez was jailed on suspicion of murdering at least one former companion.
Did I mention the top pass catcher left—St Louis Rams free agent, Danny Amendola—ripped up his groin in the first game?
Yeah, it was a mess. Unfazed, Brady whipped out the silver polish and made and put the shine on yet another 12-4, AFC East-winning season.
But even Atlas shrugged. The undaunted Patriots finally met their match in Denver, falling 26-16 in the AFC Championship Game.
People gush about Bill Belichick's genius—even post-Spygate—but where would he be if Mo Lewis hadn't punctured Drew Bledsoe's lung way back in 2001?
As Brady goes, so goes New England.

Distance Learning | Brief
Odysseyware has converted its 60 most popular online courses to HTML5 to make them accessible via any mobile device.
The company's new virtual labs are also built on HTML5 and the remaining online courses will be converted in "the coming months," according to a news release.
"More schools are shifting to 1:1 and BYOD programs, and we want students and teachers to be able to access our courses no matter what device they are using," said Beth Te Grotenhuis, president of Odysseyware and CEO of its parent company, Glynlyon, in a prepared statement. "This switch from Flash to HTML5 is just another way we are constantly evolving to keep up with the latest trends in educational technology."

Crazy night in Charlotte. At dinner with the boys when I get a text from Gary Louris and Marc Perlman of the Minneapolis band The Jayhawks. They were about to take the stage at Spirit Theater a few blocks away.
So I head there with photos Jerry Holt and Carlos Gonzalez and videographer McKenna Ewen, and halfway there, I realize I'm wearing a Jayhawks t-shirt that I bought at their First Avenue shows this winter.
Great show, intimate theater, and we even had the pleasure of watching a drunk guy hit on two women sitting in front of us, before he passed out right in front of me and missed the encores.
This morning I'm in the press box at the Panthers' stadium. It's a beautiful day, and I'm about to start Sunday Morning Sports Talk with Tom Pelissero.
Among the topics:
-Should anyone ever listen to anything Donovan McNabb has to say?
-If beating Iowa at home is such a big deal, why isn't Jeff Horton still coaching the Gophers?
-Yes, I really do like Jerry Kill, but I'm not backing off the notion that it was silly to give him a raise and an extension before he won a Big Ten game.
-Christian Ponder and Cam Newton are proof that a promising rookie quarterback brings more promise than anyone at any position in sports. These teams are terrible in terms of record, and yet I can't wait to watch this game. I did not feel the same way when McNabb was starting.
-Check out startribune.com later for postgame video as well as game coverage from me, Dan Wiederer and Mark Craig, plus the work of Holt, Gonzalez and Ewen.
-I'll live tweet as internet allows, at @Souhanstrib.

Legislators Experience CU Philosophy
Credit union CEOs, executives, and board directors filled the halls of the California state capitol building during the 2013 California Government Relations Rally (GRR) last week, impressing upon assembly members and senators the successful financial literacy efforts credit unions are accomplishing within their districts.
Click here to view a photo gallery of the entire event.
CU Members, Districts, and Financial Literacy
Almost 80 participants—with fact sheets in hand detailing their respective credit union's outreach to local schools and organizations—discussed with lawmakers and legislative aides how credit unions are making a difference in local communities. Headlining their visit was the fact that April is Financial Literacy Month, giving credit unions an even bigger opportunity to spotlight their conversation with member-owners and non-members alike.
Positive educational programs weren't the only subject in focus, as CEOs also talked about the effort credit unions make to work with members during times of dire financial need, whether it's a car loan, mortgage, or other types of credit.
Several lawmakers and aides were receptive, acknowledging the credit union movement's continuing success on this front. Many said they realized credit unions work under a different philosophy than banks since the movement is built on a cooperative member-owned structure.
CEOs and board directors extended a welcoming hand to lawmakers, inviting them to visit their credit unions in the coming year. New relationships were forged with freshman members of the legislature, and ongoing relationships with incumbents were strengthened.
A New Political Environment
During the morning's briefing, California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues Vice President of State Government Affairs Melissa Ameluxen said there are 39 new assembly members and senators this year—and because of new California legislation passed by voters in 2012, these legislators' terms are 12 years instead of the usual 6 years incumbent lawmakers have been working under. The longer period gives members of both houses more time to craft legislation.
Although a democratic super-majority exists in both houses, it still takes two-thirds of the entire legislature to pass significant pieces of legislation. This new backdrop gives credit unions insight into the possible political challenges ahead as the state prepares to deal with a number of issues, including health care, privacy, the environment, and taxation.
So far this year, there have been 67 bills introduced—some eliminated, some mitigated, and some being watched by the Leagues—which would have impacted, or may still affect, credit unions. They include debt forgiveness, escheatment, university and college contracts, Iran sanctions, taxes on recorded losses, recovery of property, privacy policies, oral disclosures, repayment of California Department of Financial Institution (DFI) loans, and other issues.
The "hot topic" with both republicans and democrats is payday lending, an area some credit unions have used to teach members good habits regarding paying down debt.
Fundraiser for Assemblyman
In between legislative visits, a group of attendees joined the California Credit Union League Political Action Committee (PAC) in the Leagues' Sacramento office just blocks away from the capitol building to raise money for Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles. Gatto is chairman of the Assembly Appropriations Committee and also serves on the Assembly Banking and Finance Committee.
A proven credit union friend, Gatto said he understands the unique roll credit unions play in their communities.
He was elected to office in a June 2010 special election. He represents Assembly District 43, which includes the cities of Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, La Canada Flintridge, and parts of Los Angeles.
'Extremely Valuable' Support
Earlier that day, Leagues President and CEO Diana Dykstra and other League staff gave an update on system-wide credit union issues, including foreclosure legislation in several different states, as well as the possibility of Congress discussing the credit union industry's federal income tax exemption in light of ongoing U.S. fiscal budget issues. The Leagues remain committed to the success and survival of the industry, she said.
"Your support on this day is extremely valuable as we build relationships with individuals locally in the state—some of whom may eventually run for Congress and move to Washington, D.C. in the future," Dykstra said. "Your hard work really shows when our state legislators are glad to see us and want to talk with us. Keep up the good work."
