The wars are declared by the few and not the majority masses. The small ruling elite who plans and wages war is often afraid of citizenry reaction and refusal to accept the rationality of a war. Throughout history, European nationalism institutionalized the doctrine of war as a necessary means to promote national interest and racial superiority over "the other". Most proponents of wars have used "fear" as one of the major instruments of propaganda and manipulation to perpetuate allegiance from the ordinary folks to the elite warmongers in a crisis situation. Sheldon Richman ("War is Government Program" ICS, 05/2007), notes that "war is more dangerous than other government programs and not just for the obvious reason – mass murder….war is useful in keeping the population in a state of fear and therefore trustful of their rulers."
Ordinary citizens do not have passion for war as it disturbs their safety and security, and destroys the living habitats. The ruling elite, the actual warmongers, force people to think in extreme terms of hatred and rejection of others so that people would be forced to align with the rulers to support and finance the war efforts. Sheldon Richman describes how Herman Goering, Hitler's second in command, understood the discourse of war-making:
"Of course the people don't want war….but after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether, it's a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a Communist dictatorship." (Sheldon Richman, "War is Government Program")

In The Collapse of American Power, Paul Craig Roberts stated:
"Noam Chomsky recently wrote that America thinks that it owns the world. That is definitely the view of the neoconized Bush administration. But the fact of the matter is that the US owes the world. The US 'superpower' cannot even finance its own domestic operations, much less its gratuitous wars except via the kindness of foreigners to lend it money that cannot be repaid."
It is undeniable that the US is "bankrupt" because of the on-going wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. David M. Walker Comptroller General of the US and Head of the Government Accountability Office (December 2007). reported that "In everyday language, the US Government cannot pass an audit."
If one is a financial investor, the obvious question asks Paul C. Roberts,
"Would you want to hold debt in a currency that has such a poor record against the currency of a small island country that was nuked and defeated in WW II, or against a small landlocked European country that clings to its independence and is not a member of the EU?"
Consequently, the U.S. dollar is being replaced by Euro and other currencies and soon is going to be abandoned as a reserve currency in global financial system. Roberts appears to be seriously concerned: "I sometimes wonder if the bankrupt 'superpower' will be able to scrape together the resources to bring home the troops stationed in its hundreds of bases overseas, or whether they will just be abandoned."
This War on Terror is Bogus
Michel Meacher, British Environment Minister under PM Blair ("This War on Terrorism is Bogus") - provides reliable insight into the real reasons for the 'War on Terrorism'. He claims that the "war on terror" is flatly superficial:
"the 9/11 attacks gave the US an ideal pretext to use force to secure its global domination ... the so-called 'war on terrorism' is being used largely as bogus cover for achieving wider US strategic geopolitical objectives ... in fact, 9/11 offered an extremely convenient pretext to put the PNAC plan into action. The evidence again is quite clear that plans for military action against Afghanistan and Iraq were in hand well before 9/11."
In their report, the Baker Institute of Public Policy (April 2001), stated clearly that "the US remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma. Iraq remains a destabilizing influence to….the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East" and it its recommendations elaborated the dire need that because it was a challenging risk therefore, the "US military intervention" was the most favored action (Sunday Herald: Oct 6, 2002).
Both the US and United Kingdom have increasing dependence on imported oil from the Middle East. The overriding motivation for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, shielded by a political smokescreen, is that the US and UK will run out of sufficient hydrocarbon energy supplies whereas, the Arab and Muslim world would control almost 60% of the world oil producing capacity and perhaps more significantly, 95% of the remaining global oil production capacity. The news media reports indicate that the US is predicted to produce only 39% of its domestic oil production in 2010, whereas in 1990 it produced 57% of its total oil consumption. The UK Government projects "severe" gas shortages by 2005 and it confirmed that 70% of the electricity will drawn from gas and 90% of gas will be imported. It is interesting to note that Iraq is said to have 110 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves in addition to its approximately 15-20 % of the world oil reserves.
Another research report by the Commission on America's National Interests (July 2000), observes that the most promising new energy resources are found in the Caspian Sea, Central Asian region and these would spare the US exclusive dependence on the Saudi Arabian oil imports. The report outlined the feasible routes for the Caspian Seas oil deliveries, one hydrocarbon pipeline via Azerbaijan and Georgia and another pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan would ensure the future strategic demands of the US government. To review the documentary evidence of the 9/11 events, it is likely that many strategists have seen the U.S. Government's failure to avert the 9/11 terrorist attacks as facilitating a much needed stage drama for its policy aims and an invaluable opportunity to attack Iraq and Afghanistan – a military intervention already well-planned in early 2000. The PNAC policy blueprint of September 2000 projects the transformation of U.S. power as an unchallengeable global superpower and the need for some tangible tragedy to make it happen. The paper states, it "is likely to be a long one in the absence of some catastrophic and catalyzing event- like a new Pearl Harbor." In his analytical view, Minister Michael Meacher ("This War on terrorism is Bogus") states "... 'global war on terrorism' has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project."
Did the US hegemonic war achieve any of its set goals for world domination? Have the US and UK Governments secured any viable hydrocarbon energy routes to ensure their depleting gas and oil stocks and the much planned control over the Arab oil reserves? Is the US dollar still a welcomed international currency used by the world nations?
Mike Whitney quotes the retired U.S. Army General Ricardo Sanchez challenging the prevailing notion of the Bush Administration "Mission accomplished" in Iraq, when he asserted that the occupation of Iraq is a "nightmare with no end in sight." The General claimed that the US administration is "incompetent" and "corrupt" and that the most U.S. people could hope for under the present circumstances is to "stave off defeat" in Iraq war.
Mike Whitney ("Come and see our overflowing morgues…..come and see the rubble of your surgical strikes": An Arab Women Blues by Layla Anwar), elaborates that General Sanchez is neither against the war nor for withdrawal. He simply doesn't like losing…. and the United Sates is losing."
The General is reported to have admitted that "after more than four years of fighting , America continues its desperate struggle in Iraq without any concerted effort to devise a strategy that will achieve victory in that war-torn country or in the greater conflict against extremism." Under President Barrack Obama, the global community looks anxiously on how and when the promised change will come to U.S. failed strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan. How soon will the new President will be able to put the body of US politics together again after its moral, political and financial collapse? The U.S. and Britain appear to be lost, not knowing how to come out of the self-engineered defeat in wars against Islam. Masses have sympathies with the true believers and the Islamic Resistance appears to have lost nothing. They had no banks to declare bankruptcy and they had no Bush and Cheney to go down in disgrace. The Mujahideen remain intact and active on all the fronts even buying weapons from the US and Russia to fight against them.
U.S. strategists know well how to do business in global arms market. As a declining superpower, the US is extremely nervous not knowing how soon it could be replaced by smaller nations of the developing world or a combination of new emerging economic powers such as China, India and others. The U.S. is in desperate need of a Navigational Change. President Obama got elected with the moving slogan - "Yes We Can." Would President Obama know how to make a navigational change when there is nothing left to navigate for Change?
Mike Whitney attempts to share a new humane perspective of the concerns of the Iraqi civilians who are the real victims of this ferocious war against their country. To reflect on how the adversely affected Iraqi people think about the on-going U.S.-British led war, occupation and continuous daily bombing of the civilian population, Layla Anwar, An Arab Women Blues writes in her website blog:
"Everyday, under the pretext of either al-Qaida, insurgents, militants or whatever imaginary name you coined, you have not ceased, not even for one day, slaughtering our innocents……for 4 years, you have not ceased for one single day, not during holiday periods, not during religious celebrations, not even during the day your so called God was born….if you have a God that is."

text: With thanks to Jussi, who posted it on Westeros: Tor's winter 2013 catalogue is now online. Interesting document, as always. Couple surprises, couple books that were expected. I'd urge y'all to check out the whole thing, but here are some books I personally thought were worth taking particular note of: -- Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, A Memory of Light [of course]: I ... was going to post this blurb they've got in the catalogue here, but honestly it is all publicity waffling. There is a better blurb, written by Harriet Rigney I believe, on amazon. Release date still January 8th. -- Steven Gould, Impulse: I've not read any Gould myself, but Jumper's supposed to be great and very popular. Here's the blurb for his latest. [January 8th.]: Steven Gould returns to the world of his classic novel Jumper Cent has a secret. She lives in isolation, with her parents, hiding from the people who took her father captive and tortured him to gain control over his ability to teleport, and from the government agencies who want to use his talent. Cent has seen the world, but only from the safety of her parents' arms. She's teleported more than anyone on Earth, except for her mother and father, but she's never been able to do it herself. Her life has never been in danger. Until the day when she went snowboarding without permission and triggered an avalanche. When the snow and ice thundered down on her, she suddenly found herself in her own bedroom. That was the first time. -- L. E. Modesitt Jr., Imager's Batallion: For the Imager fans amongst us, a blurb for the sixth book in the overall series. Though I fear it's unlikely to tell you much you don't know; much like the Gould blurb it reads like somebody came into work all enthusiastic, but then sort of wandered away from their desk to get coffee or a doughnut or whatever and forgot to write the second half of that cover copy they were working on until it was too late. [January 22.]: The newest novel of the New York Times bestselling Imager Portfolio follows Quaeryt into war The sequel to the New York Times bestselling Princeps follows magical hero Quaeryt as he leads history's first Imager fighting force into war. Given the rank of subcommander by his wife's brother, Lord Bhayar, the ruler of Telaryn, Quaeryt joins an invading army into the hostile land of Bovaria, in retaliation for Bovaria's attempted annexation of Telaryn. But Quaeryt has his own agenda in doing Bhayar's bidding: to legitimize Imagers in the hearts and minds of all men, by demonstrating their value as heroes as he leads his battalion into one costly battle after another. Making matters worse, court intrigues pursue Quaeryt even to the front lines of the conflict, as the Imager's enemies continue to plot against him. -- R. S. Belcher, The Six-Gun Tarot: Now here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a blurb written by someone who was seriously into what they were doing. Or trying to imagine every phrase they wrote as narrated by Samuel L Jackson. Whichever. Gets me kinda intrigued, I must admit. [January 22.]: Nevada, 1869: Beyond the pitiless 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets. The sheriff bears the mark of the noose around his neck; some say he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His half-human deputy is kin to coyotes. The mayor guards a hoard of mythical treasures. A banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins. And a shady saloon owner, whose fingers are in everyone's business, may know more about the town's true origins than he's letting on. A haven for the blessed and the damned, Golgotha has known many strange events, but nothing like the primordial darkness stirring in the abandoned silver mine overlooking the town. Bleeding midnight, an ancient evil is spilling into the world, and unless the sheriff and his posse can saddle up in time, Golgotha will have seen its last dawn…and so will all of Creation. -- Cory Doctorow, Homeland: I'm a sucker for Doctorow's brand of inspirational indignation; I think fiction of that kind's important, so long as it doesn't become a simple excuse to preach, and Doctorow's usually pretty good about making the message iceing fit the story cake. Here's the blurb for the Little Brother sequel. [February 5.]: The direct sequel to Little Brother—in which Marcus finds himself once again risking everything to take on creeping tyranny and surveillance Just a few years after Little Brother, Marcus's problems are back: California's economy has collapsed, taking his parents and his university tuition with it. But M1k3y's political past saves him and lands him a job as webmaster for a muckraking politician who promises reform. Things are never simple, though, as Marcus discovers when his onetime girlfriend Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump full of hard evidence of conscious corporate and governmental perfidy. It's incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. But Marcus can't out himself as the Bradley Manning of this leak, because if he does he'll cost his employers the election. And he's surrounded by friends and acquaintances who regard him as a hacker hero. He can't even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. Nobody—his current girlfriend, his weary parents, his progressive-minded employer, his hacker admirers—knows just how unsure of himself he really is. Meanwhile, hard people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they've got plenty of experience inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Inflicting it on Marcus…or, worse, on people he loves. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paen to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place. This is getting too long. More in next post. Promise I won't reproduce the entire catalogue.

I don't succeed to write dimensions in a dxf file that can be imported in AutoCAD 2010. I have written a dimension style with writeDimStyle() and a linear dimension entity with writeDimLinear().
AutoCAD imports the file without message but the dimension is not visible. DXFOUT in AutoCAD writes the dimension again in an output file.
When I replace part of a dxf file that contains a dimension entity drawn in AutoCAD by the part out of my DXF file it can be imported on the condition that the entity refers to a block that defines the look.
Is it possible to write dimension entities on an easy way using the library functions?

BEIRUT (AP) -- Syrian activists say government warplanes struck a strategic rebel-held town in the country's north today in an attempt to reopen a key supply route.
The town lies along the main highway between Aleppo and the capital, Damascus. Opposition fighters took control of it earlier this month, hampering the government's fight in Aleppo, where troops are bogged down in a bloody battle for control of the country's largest city.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights based in Britain says troops and rebels have been battling for control of a nearby Syrian military camp that has been under siege for days.
The activist group reports more than two dozen casualties among the rebels in today's airstrike, but it did not have the breakdown of killed and wounded.
The strike comes as a U.N.-proposed cease-fire meant to start this week appears increasingly unlikely to take hold. The U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria has suggested that both sides in Syria's 19-month-old conflict lay down their arms during Eid al-Adha (eed al-AHD'-hah), a four-day Muslim holiday that begins Friday. However, neither side has committed to a truce.

I was a senior and high school and since I had been bumming around the Dead lots for the past few summers. There seemed to be a lot of hype about Phish the prior year at the Creek. I had gotten my hands on a show from Northwestern 4/15/91. So when we heard they were coming to the Aragon - it was a must go. We hopped (and dropped) on the Red Line about 5 pm and got there a good couple hours before the show. The show was GA and there was plenty of room to find space to chill till lights.
The crowd definitely had a different vibe - younger, more energy, and lots of excitement. I felt right at home immediately.
When the boys opened with Runaway Jim I was off to new heights. I had the tape from NW and recognized a couple from the show but wow. The Sparkle was great - and timing was excellent with the extras consumed. The My Friend was scary good. The Chalkdust ripped me a new one - and the Bowie...OH, the Bowie. Go get it. It's an early hidden gem. At around the ten minute mark it hit this rhythm on a track heading to the top of a volcano that erupts in the ultimate Bowie fashion. Full of all kinds of hidden language goodies too.
The second set opens with a strong Lengthwise>Maze (teases of stuff throughout - but it escapes me right now). The rest of the second is high energy with an excellent Rift, fun-ass Glide and a jamming Mike's Groove with some Floyd pinched between PLUS Chicago's own Sugar Blue coming out to Funky Bitch thru the set closer Cavern.
At my age I was really excited to hear all the new stuff and still have them throw in some Floyd (Great Gig) and Zeppelin (GTBT). It is still in my top 10 shows of all time Phish. It never gets old.
After we left - I like most of us here - got everything & anything I could get my hands on. I remember chatting and comparing them to the Dead - and believe it or not, there really was no comparison - except for the crowd (a bit), improv and a different show every night thing. We laughed our asses off that night. So much fun. Thank God the next gig was Monday about 2.5 hours away in Iowa, on Monday (after school). Oh, young love.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team took part in the first of 10 practices for its 10-day foreign tour to Italy on Tuesday, Aug. 6. The Islanders will play at least three games against professional Italian teams during the trip, which runs from August 20-30.
"This is going to be a spectacular opportunity for our players, not just to experience the Italian culture, but to suit up against professional players," head coach Willis Wilson said. "The bonding experience on a trip like that is unparalleled, and it will bring us together both on and off the court. Great teams are assembled when the sum is greater than the parts, and this trip puts us in position to develop our teamwork in a way that should make it so."
The NCAA allows men's basketball teams to take one foreign tour every four years to play professional teams overseas. In order to prepare for this, the program is allowed 10 additional practices before the start of the tour. Normally, before the start of the official practice season, coaches are limited to two hours of skill instruction per week with their teams.
In order for players to take part in the foreign tour, they need to be eligible to compete for the upcoming fall semester. Incoming freshmen need to have taken at least six credits during the summer session to join the team.
The Islanders depart out of Houston on Tuesday, Aug. 20, arriving in Milan the morning of Aug. 21. After four days in Milan, the team heads to Florence from Aug. 25-27, and will conclude its trip from Aug. 27-30 in Rome. Information on the Islanders' official schedule of games for the tour is still yet to be finalized.

BELPRE - About 100 pets had their photos taken for the holidays on Saturday during the fifth annual Paws with Claus for a Cause.
"Today was awesome," said Sharon Davidson, organizer of the event and The Max Fund. "It was just wonderful with all of the pets people brought in."
The proceeds from the event went to The Max Fund, which is a Belpre-based animal rescue and aid organization that supports people who cannot afford vaccinations, spay and neuter and other health issues with their pets. The organization and rescue also cares for abused and unwanted animals.

JOLENE CRAIG Special to the Tiems
Terri Taylor, of Belpre, calms Wennie, a 5-year-old shih tzu, as the dog poses with Santa Claus in the Belpre Volunteer Fire Department bingo hall on Saturday during the fifth annual Paws with Claus for a Cause. All proceeds will go to The Max Fund, an animal rescue and aid organization in Belpre.
"I started the organization when my 18-year-old pomeranian Max died," Davidson said. "He was so special and I wanted to do something that would help other animals."
Pet lovers from around the Mid-Ohio Valley, including Parkersburg, Williamstown, Marietta and Belpre, brought their dogs, cats and other animals to be photographed Saturday.
"We had one family with parents and a child bring in a dog, a cat and a guinea pig," Davidson said. "And all of them were perfectly behaved."
Kathy Brant, of Belpre, brought her shih tzu Wennie, 5, to the event after seeing advertisements for it.
"I thought that it is a really good cause that I wanted to help, so I brought her," Brant said. "I will definitely bring her next year."
The organization works with the area humane societies and has fostered and rehomed more than 50 dogs. It costs roughly $500 to get a dog in bad health back in good health, Davidson said.
"We work with the humane societies in the area to help those who cannot help themselves," said Terri Taylor with The Max Fund. "We are all doing similar work."
Last year's event saw about 50 pets, so this year saw participation nearly double.
"It's just something we can do for the owners that helps our cause," Davidson said.
Many people who attend use the photos for their holiday cards and include not only pets with Santa, but also the human family.
Last year's Paws with Claus for a Cause raised about $1,200 for the organization while the 2010 event raised roughly $1,400. It is unknown how much this year's event raised.

Croatia has everything you might expect from a holiday destination: sun, culture and fun. The Mediterranean coast is certainly once more a true paradise for holidaymakers.
Nicknamed "Pearl of the Adriatic", Dubrovnik is a seaport in the south of Croatia that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. Heavily bombed during the 1991 war, all the damaged buildings have been repaired, and the whole of Dubrovnik, famous for its medieval City Walls, can now be considered an open-air museum.
You will certainly be pleasantly surprised by Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, even if only because you know so little about it.

Nicholls' Babim honored by LSWA
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
BATON ROUGE – Nicholls State University junior guard KK Babin was named Louisiana Sports Writers Association Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season, announced the organization on Monday evening.
Babin, who shared the award for the week of Jan. 14, was recognized for her efforts on Saturday at Central Arkansas as the Gonzales, La. native carried Nicholls to its first win at Central Arkansas in program history. The victory was also the Colonels' 13th of the season, two shy of matching their program record which was set last season.
In the 68-62 win at UCA, Babin scored a career-high 32 points, making 11-of-18 from the field including 6-of-7 from 3-point range. Eighteen of her points came in the first half before she closed out the game scoring 14 of the Colonels' final 15 points to hold off the defending regular season champion Sugar Bears.
Along with leading the team in scoring, Babin had a game-high six assists and added three steals and two rebounds.

Due to incomplete information provided by a source, a story did not describe precisely the population of San Francisco Lessingia plants growing on historic sand dunes in Daly City. The plants on those dunes are about half the world's population.
DALY CITY -- In the roughly 100,000 years since a finger of the Pacific Ocean helped deposit great mounds of sand in Daly City, most of the formations have been paved over with a web of roads and clumps of homes.
But a tiny section of those natural sand dunes remains untouched in the hills above the parallel strips of houses on either side of Bonnie Street.
The unassuming hunk of sand, spotted with bushes and an endangered species of flowering plant, is at the heart of what is expected to be a pitched battle between residents, environmentalists and developers.
The owners of the less-than-one-acre slice of dunes have proposed subdividing the land into lots for eight homes, along with roads and infrastructure. They call it a reasonable and safe use of the property
But residents, still rattled by a recent mudslide in the area, fear the sandy slopes are unstable and more development would put them and their homes in danger.
Also, environmental watchdogs say the dunes are among the last bits of habitat for the San Francisco Lessingia, a plant on the federal endangered species list since 1997.
The tension is growing, even though the proposal has not yet been the subject of a single vote. If it advances, the project would be have to go through public hearings and get City Council approval. However, even if the subdivision idea fails, a second possible project is in the works. A school adjacent to the dunes, which may be looking to expand, has penned an agreement giving it first crack at purchasing the dune land.
The landowners, who are heirs of the Callan family, a large property holder in San Mateo County, submitted their housing proposal to the city for the Hillside Park Court development in the fall of 2011.
Under the proposal, the homes would sit on the dunes a couple hundred feet southwest of the hillside where a city water pipe burst open on Nov. 13, causing a massive mudslide.
Plans have been stalled because the city had some questions and suggestions that the owners haven't addressed, officials said.
In addition to the homes, the owners are pursuing development on a second front through moves to sell the property to the private, prekindergarten-to-eighth-grade Hilldale School.
View Hillside Park Court site in a larger map
The 100-student campus off Florence Street is considering buying the land in order to expand, but has not made a final decision to do so, co-owner John Sittner of Pinnacle Schools said.
"We've had some discussions," Sittner said. "But I don't know where things are going."
Whether developers build homes or school buildings, the construction will destroy the dunes, said San Bruno Mountain Watch Executive Director Ken McIntire.
On a recent day, McIntire and Mountain Watch volunteer Del Schembari hiked through the area and pointed out patches of Lessingia, which has daisy-like yellow flowers.
McIntire said the clumps of Lessingia growing on the Daly City dunes are about half of the world's population of the plant. The other examples grow in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The group is trying to buy the land and is lobbying city leaders to protect it. So far, they said, they haven't had much of a response. But Mountain Watch representatives have met with Daly City Councilman David Canepa and he seemed receptive, McIntire said.
Canepa said he can't comment specifically on the proposed development, but said the city should do whatever it can to preserve open space in the already densely populated town of more than 101,000.
Residents who live below the hills are nervous about any development on the sandy slopes. They said heavy rains, an earthquake or another big leak could send buildings and sandy dirt tumbling down on them.
Besides, they said, the land should be protected as part of the larger preserve around San Bruno Mountain.
"The land is not stable," said Arturo Romero, 64, a retired postal worker whose home was narrowly missed by the recent flow of mud. "We are very lucky the mudslide went on the other side."
A representative for the owners said a decision on the land's future is expected to come within the next three to four months. The property is "not a geologic hazard" and building there would be reasonable, despite concerns about the Lessingia, said Terry Sedik, who represents the landowners.
"We've had a study done. We understand where (Lessingia) is and what the requirements are," he said. "Whatever happens there will be compliance with federal law on the plants."

Dr. Michael Rogers finished the Boston Marathon one minute and 22 seconds before the first bomb went off. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, April 16, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Runners came from all over the world to run in the Boston Marathon, including some from our area. On Tuesday night, at least one of those runners was back home in Augusta.
Dr. Michael Rogers is a local orthodontist who crossed the finish line just one minute before the first bomb went off.
"All of a sudden this boom goes off and all of the festivities and all just stopped. I mean, it was total silence," described his wife, Beth, who was in the stands just a block away from the bombs.
"Then the second one went off and everyone just kind of stood there, you know, like what's going on, what do we do? Do we run, do we go back to help or what do we do?" Dr. Rogers said.
Dr. Rogers had just completed his seventh Boston Marathon when he heard the booms.
"I thought, 'This really can't be a bomb,'" he said. "And yet, it was such a huge explosion with a big cloud and it shook the ground."
"This big mound of smoke just billowed up above the buildings," Mrs. Rogers said.
The grandfather of nine crossed the finish line at four hours and eight minutes, just one minute and 22 seconds before bomb number one.
"That was kind of an unreal feeling, that one minute or so behind that and I would've been right in the middle of all of that," Dr. Rogers said.
He says at that moment no one really knew what was going on.
"You flash back to September 11th and you think about that tragedy," he said. "Did it destroy the buildings? And not only that, but we were worried about a dirty bomb, chemicals in the atmosphere."
At that point, Dr. Rogers had no idea where his wife was.
"That was a panicky feeling because I thought she might have gone down to the finish line to watch me finish and she could be hurt," he explained.
Luckily, just minutes later, they were able to get in touch by text deciding to meet back at the hotel.
"When she finally saw me coming to the hotel, she gave me a big hug and we reunited. It was very touching," he said.
Dr. Rogers says this year's attack won't stop him from running in Boston again.
"I'm the type that doesn't wanna let something like this ruin my life or stop me from doing something I want to do because we have to live our lives," he said.
The Rogers said in the airport Tuesday morning there was a man asking everyone in line if they heard anything, saw anything or took any pictures.
He says he is just extremely thankful that he and his wife made it home safely.

Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 8:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 8:33 a.m.
LAKELAND | Maybe he needed a Valentine's Day gift, or just wanted something shiny and expensive for himself.
Either way, he got it, along with the attention of police.
Detectives are searching for a robber who snatched two items from a Kay Jewelers at Lakeland Square mall Jan. 15. Together, the jewelry is worth about $15,000.
The robber ran from the shop, and employees gave chase.
He reached the parking lot, where he escaped in a waiting Nissan Maxima.
The suspect, a light-skinned black man, had greased hair pulled or braided into a ponytail.
Police said he stands about 6-feet, 2-inches tall and weighs about 220 pounds.
When the robbery occurred, he wore khaki pants and a light green polo shirt.
The Maxima was beige with tinted driver and passenger windows.
"We definitely ask for the public's help, because it appeared to be an organized effort," said Lt. Ruben Garcia of Lakeland Police Department.
"He may show up in another mall in the area."

Apple Hires Burberry CEO Ahrendts To Head Retail Division
Originally published on Tue October 15, 2013 12:45 pm
After going a year without a permanent executive in charge of its retail division, Apple said Tuesday morning that it is hiring Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts as a senior vice president. She will be the first woman on Apple's team of senior executives.
A veteran of the fashion industry, Ahrendts, 53, is a native of New Palestine, Ind., who has headed Britain's Burberry since 2006. On Tuesday, the company reported total revenue of more than $1.64 billion in the six-month period that ended Sept. 30. Her tenure included a successful revamping of the company's online store.
When she joins Apple next spring, Ahrendts will oversee "the strategic direction, expansion and operation of both Apple retail and online stores," the company says. She replaces John Browett, who had occupied Apple's retail post for less than a year when he was let go last October.
Ahrendts will have a bit more control than Browett had, reports Apple Insider, noting that as part of a newly created position, her turf will include both online and brick-and-mortar stores.
In a statement accompanying a news release, Ahrendts said she would work to improve customer service at the company's stores. Browett had taken criticism for moving to cut staffing costs at Apple's storefront operations.
Ahrendts "also has experience expanding into China — where Burberry now has more than 70 stores in the country against Apple's eight," reports Britain's Telegraph. "Slow growth in Apple's Chinese retail operations was pinned as another reason for Mr Browett's departure."
For Apple, Ahrendts is the second recent arrival from the fashion world. And her arrival may coincide with the arrival of a new product line, as The New York Times reports:
"Ms. Ahrendts is Apple's second big hire from the fashion industry amid reports that the company is readying an Internet-connected wristwatch. In the summer, the company hired Paul Deneve, the former chief executive of Yves Saint Laurent, the French fashion house, to work on special projects, reporting directly to Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive."
This summer, Ahrendts made headlines when it was revealed that she earned more than $26 million — far more than any other top executive at Britain's largest companies. A large part of the payout, as The Daily Mail reported, came from selling accrued shares of Burberry's stock.

Read more: Undocumented still standing after broken dreams
Read more: Irish Foreign Minister will lobby for bilateral work visa agreement in Washington
As an immigrant, the shrilling sound of your phone ringing in the early hours of the morning usually means one thing.
Ireland is calling. As you reach for your phone, a flicker of fear races through your mind -- please don't let it be bad news.
With justified trepidation, bad news does eventually arrive from home. There has been an accident or, even worse, a loved one has passed away.
As if dealing with overwrought emotions was not enough, the many undocumented here in the U.S., also face the ultimate decision. Should I stay, or should I go?
Queens resident Marie Foy (not a real name; all names have been changed in the story to protect identities) has lived in the U.S. illegally for 14 years. Upon hearing of a family member's death, she admits she hesitated about what to do.
"The single hardest event to deal with was my grandmother's death," Foy told the Irish Voice.
"She and I were always very close, and the hardest thing I've had to do was to make the choice to stay in New York and not to just hop on the plane.
"But as I struggled with making that decision, all I could hear was her voice saying 'Your life is in New York, you're happy there, don't look back, you have your life to live,' so she kind of helped me make my decision."
Currently there are an estimated 50,000 Irish men and women living in the U.S. undocumented. With Irish emigration on the rise, more and more Irish citizens are opting to stay here in the U.S. illegally.
Part of this new wave of immigration, Aisling Connor has been living in the Bronx for just over a year. Working as a receptionist, while she hasn't been faced with a family crisis in Ireland yet, it's something that is always on her mind.
"It's great to be able to live a life out here that I could never have at home because of the economy in Ireland, but it could all end if I ever got a call from home," she reflects.
When Queens resident Deirdre Doherty got the bad news that her sister-in-law had passed away, she made the decision to travel home for the funeral after four years of her undocumented life in New York.
"A funeral is a trip you have to make," Doherty told the Irish Voice.
"I made the choice to go home to my sister-in-law's funeral. For my brother's sake I felt like I needed to be there to comfort him, and nothing is as important as family."
After going home to Ireland for the funeral, Doherty ran the risk of been denied reentry to the U.S. She took the chance and made it, but now three years later she recalls the nerves that consumed her before clearing U.S. immigration in Dublin Airport.
"The nerves were on overload," she admitted. "I sat at the bar for nearly an hour to build up courage drinking a brandy and I don't even drink brandy!
"I just watched the immigration officers thinking about which one looked the nicest and wouldn't give me hassle.
"Thoughts were flying through my head -- what would I do if I didn't get back in and my boyfriend would be still in New York? I started thinking about would he move home if I got stopped?"

The Mississippi Alluvial Valley represents the historic floodplain and valley of the lower Mississippi River. It is easily the most significant winter habitat area for mallards in North America. The MAV was once a 24.7 million acre complex of forested wetlands interspersed with swamps, cypress-tupelo brakes, scrub-shrub wetlands and emergent wetlands. This vast complex of wetlands, through which nearly 40 percent of North America drains, provided wetland functions and wildlife values of incalculable worth. However, the landscape in the MAV has changed dramatically during the last 200 years, with the most rapid change occurring within the last 75 years. Today, only about 20 percent of the original forest remains in the MAV. The rest has been cleared for agricultural production and other land uses.

Armhole Fitting Tips
Have you ever used a commercial pattern and been frustrated by unwieldy armhole fit; a too loose fit can cause the entire bodice to fit badly. Marina of the couture sewing blog, Frabjous: Couture presents some tips on armhole depth. She says, "I wanted to focus on sleeve fitting, and the correct armhole shape and size is very important." For additional instruction, Marina recommends this article from Threads magazine by Sarah. My personal armhole fitting tip has been to use a modified princess seam with the front bodice. This works wonders in closing armhole gape when fitting waistcoats; the bodice will be cut in two pieces…a front piece and a side panel. The fitting seam starts at the lower armhole and ends at the hem, approximately 6" from the side seam. This modified princess seam corrects unseemly gaping and ensures a smooth fit.

I recently updated my system from mageia2 to mageia3 and also took the opportunity to update from PMS 1.71 to 1.82.0. The hardware being run on is an AMD64 bit processor with 8Gb of RAM. I'm streaming to a PS3 with the most current firmware and the devices are connected via a wired switch.
I've spent most of the day changing options and doing research but to no avail. My system will not play sound with .mp4, .avi, or .wmv files (although the video is fine); instead I get a buzzing/humming noise and occasional crackles. I'm using Mencoder for the Video engine currently but have also tried ffmpeg, VLC, and txMuxer. Playing .mp3 files from the server works.
I've checked that the PS3 video setting in both audio and sound are correct and gone through the System-Sound setting multiple times with multiple options (currently I'm using the defaults). The PS3 is connected to a Vizio TV via HDMI and sound is pushed back to a sony receiver from the TV via optical cable. I rolled back to the previously working version of PMS (1.71) but that didn't fix things. I suspect I'm somehow missing an audio codec but can't figure out which one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amazon has brought out a new cloud service called Glacier to freeze out the competition.
It wants companies to archive and back up their data, all the stuff they have to hang on to for years and years to comply with all the rules, but don't have to access very often.
Storing all this pack rat data is expensive. Amazon is offering to do it for a penny a gigabyte a month, a "significant savings" it figures is "disruptive."
As is typical with Amazon there's no up-front fee and it's pay-as-you-go. Archives are apparently saved in "vaults" in Amazon's data center in Virginia via a Glacier API although the FAQ says the "service redundantly stores data in multiple facilities and on multiple devices within each facility."
Amazon says Glacier is designed to provide average annual durability of 99.999999999% for each item stored. Each month the user can retrieve up to 5% of the data he stored in Glacier for free. Deleting data from Amazon Glacier is free if the archive being deleted has been stored for three months or longer.
Amazon says "When data is retrieved, it is often a small subset of the total data stored. For example, let's assume you upload 1 petabyte of data to Glacier, and each archive is 10 megabytes. If you retain your data for three years, and retrieve up to 10TB a month, retrieving less than your free allowance each day (i.e., less than 3.3 terabytes a day), your monthly TCO over the three-year period would be $10,689 or ~$0.01 per gigabyte per month."
It's not clear how hard it is to find exactly what you're looking for.
Amazon says users save on hardware, software, power, facilities, staffing, and maintenance and avoid the common issue of over-provisioning. It's planning to introduce an option that will let customers move data between S3 and Glacier based on data lifecycle policies.

Swiss Diamond Cookware
Swiss Diamond is a brand that has a reputation for durability. The process to create the cookware comes from a special process to infuse the surface with diamond crystals. This means that the surface can stand up to plenty of use and daily cooking without wearing out or breaking down. The cookware originates from Switzerland as part of what was once a scientific research company. Along with being durable, the material in the cookware can withstand much heat and is dishwasher safe. Having cookware that is safe to clean using a dishwasher is a great time-saver for clean up and getting meals on the table quickly.
You can buy entire sets of this cookware, which include saucepans, frying pans and stockpots. Along with the pots and pans, there are a number of glass lids included. These make it easy for you to keep an eye on your food as it cooks while keeping steam and moisture in the pan. If the pieces in the set are not enough, you can also pick up some individual pieces like the double-burner grill, crepe pan and roasting pans. All of them are made of the same durable material, so no matter how you purchase your cookware, you are sure to get high-quality items that will last for a long time.
With the extra time you save cleaning this cookware, you can find a great teakettle to make a cup of tea or start shopping for a outdoor cookware items you've been longing to buy. Don't forget to pick up a pot rack with which to hang and display your new Swiss Diamond pieces.

Balsamic And Herb Pork Tenderloin With Roasted Vegetables
My days are far less hectic now but I still enjoy a one-skillet dinner because I absolutely hate to wash dishes. Just ask my sister Mary. She'll tell you how I always had to go "wash my hair" when it came time to doing the dishes when we were growing up. Right Mary?
Balsamic And Herb Pork Tenderloin With Roasted Vegetables
For the pork:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP fresh rosemary, chopped
1 TBSP fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp fresh sage, chopped
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin (this was two separate pieces for me, each weighing about 1 1/4 pound. I cooked them both but served only one and saved the other for another meal)
Combine all marinade ingredients in a sealable gallon baggie. Add tenderloins. Press air out of baggie and seal. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
For the roasted vegetables:
2-3 medium red skinned potatoes, scrubbed, diced into 1/2" cubes
1/2 pound green beans, ends trimmed
4 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
other ingredients:
1/4 cup canola oil
salt and pepper
1 heaping TBSP flour
1 cup chicken broth
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place cubed potatoes in microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes. Set aside.
Remove pork tenderloins from marinade and discard marinade. Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. In a LARGE (12 inch) oven-proof skillet, heat 1/4 cup canola oil. When oil is hot, add the tenderloins and sear on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Place skillet in oven and finish cooking tenderloins, about 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Remove pan from oven (BE CAREFUL, the handle will be screaming hot) Remove tenderloins to cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Increase oven heat to 450 degrees.
Place potatoes, green beans and mushrooms in same skillet. Toss to coat in the oil remaining in the skillet and season well with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the oven and let vegetables roast for and additional 15-20 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and transfer veggies to a serving platter.
Add the flour to the skillet and cook the flour over medium heat for a few minutes. Add chicken broth and whisk until smooth, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Slice tenderloins into 1 1/2 inch slices and add to serving platter. Pour pan gravy over meat and serve.

This was delicious! However I had to cook my potatoes a lot longer and they were still too firm. I will try microwaving them longer next time! Awesome recipe enjoyed by the whole family.

In exploring the factors necessary to secure long-term growth of a biomanufacturing industry, the three critical requirements of assets, people and technology loom large.
Addressing this major challenge, which is recognizable in so many science-based industries, requires long-term action across the education community and at both national and corporate business levels. In the UK, the plan to establish a national bioprocessing network that will improve interaction between the manufacturing operations of the biotech industry and the academic training and development base is to be applauded and supported.
TECHNOLOGY Capacity and people are of course the big drivers, but they have perhaps tended to obscure the third challenge which is now lifting above the horizon. That is the imperative for continued investment of time, money and human inventiveness in enhanced manufacturing technologies.
