Farming is an integral part of life for many communities across the United States, and recording artist James Wesley knows about it firsthand.
"We drove tractors through the middle of town," recalls James about growing up in tiny Mound Valley, Kan. "Where I lived, there was a farm on the side of us and we had cows looking at us through the kitchen window. That was just where I grew up."
James is paying a little tribute to his farm-community upbringing with his new single, "Thank a Farmer," which is currently climbing the charts. Penned by Dustin Lynch, Josh Thompson and Steve Bogard, the tune points out the many aspects of our daily lives like coffee, shirts and fuel that wouldn't be possible without the hard work of farmers. Things that sometimes, as James points out, we take for granted.
"We do forget that because we've just become a country of having everything there that fast," he says, relaxing in the barn at Hatcher Family Dairy [1] in College Grove, Tenn., following a shoot with Better TV. "We've gotta remember where that stuff comes from. That's the life and the blood."
Broken Bow Records president Benny Brown introduced James to the song, which reminded him of a particularly powerful advertisement. "I was like, 'Wow,'" he recalls. "Coming off the Super Bowl and the Paul Harvey Ram Trucks [ad], it was awesome to be able to find a song like this after something like that."
And sure enough, audiences everywhere are reacting to "Thank a Farmer." James—who is also affiliated with Farm Boy brand clothing [2]—has earned standing ovations from Washington to Pennsylvania. Recently, he played the Grand Ole Opry and was stopped afterward by a fan. "He said, 'Hey, I want to thank you for singing that song. I've been a farmer all my life,'" he says. "It hit home with me so fast and so hard. When you've got somebody that's farmed all his life and came around to the back side of the stage just to thank me for that song, it got me. It brought tears to my eyes to think that, you know, it's amazing what a song does and how people react."
"Thank a Farmer" will appear on James' upcoming album, slated for release later in 2013. Fans can also expect to get his previous hits "Real" and "Didn't I" on the collection. "We've got a couple really great songs," says James. "We've got the tracks done. It's just finding the time to get in there and put the vocals down on them. I will say that one of the songs, Lee Brice wrote, and it's just a killer tune."
Before the album comes out, James will spend some time on the road this summer playing shows and thanking the farmers in new cities every night. Check out a lyric video for "Thank a Farmer" below.

Q & A with Bryan Williamson
On a typical day at Erie Beer Co.'s warehouse, on Liberty Street, forklifts are busy transporting palettes of kegs and cases across the floor.
But for the next few days, warehouse manager Bryan Williamson will be adding a little green to the beer for more festive suds on Thursday.
Erie Beer dyes about 100 kegs of libations each year for St. Patrick's Day, which is one of the busiest times of the year for any beer distributor. The kegs are delivered to local bars that special order the green-colored beer.
So how many leprechauns does it take to dye all the beer in Erie green for St. Patrick's Day? Williamson just laughs and shares the real secret for green beer: No leprechauns -- just a keg, food color and a little Irish pride.
1) What's the process?
We just tap the keg, add the green dye and inject it, just like you would pump a keg. Then you shake the keg to get all the green dye in there. And that's the process.
2) Does the green dye affect the taste or texture?
Nah, nah. It's just food coloring. It doesn't taste any different. It makes your tongue green, your teeth green.
3) What kind of beer do you dye the most?
It varies. Usually Bud Light and Red Rock and Natural Light. It's just what people carry on tap at their bars. They're popular brands. You can dye any beer -- it's whatever the customer wants.
4) How much beer do you have to dye green each year?
The customers are asking for it for St. Patrick's Day. People think it's a great thing to have beer on St. Patrick's Day. It's a green fest. We've been averaging around 100 (kegs) a year now. It varies -- a lot of places now do their own beer, which is fine. I guess before I started here, they used to do a lot more beer. It's gone down from the years past. Everybody's doing it, the other competitors we have in the area.
5) Why do you think Erie is so enthusiastic about St. Patrick's Day?
I think it's the time of the year. It's starting to break into spring, and that's a big part of this. Everybody's getting away from the snow, even though we usually have snow on St. Patrick's Day.
It's always been a drinking fest. It's been passed on. You have your other holidays, but for the bar scene, Paddy's Day is by far the busiest. I don't know if it's an Irish city or not, but it seems like everyone's Irish on that day.

Yu Darvish won't pitch for Japan in the World Baseball Classic next spring, choosing instead to focus on preparing for his second major league season.
The Texas Rangers right-hander issued a statement Tuesday saying he made the decision after much deliberation, including consultation with his coaches and trainers.
Darvish pitched for Japan in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, then helped his home country win its second consecutive World Baseball Classic title in 2009.
He went 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 13 innings while pitching five games in the WBC. He was on the mound for the final out in the championship game against South Korea.

BBC puts 3D projects on hold after Doctor Who anniversary
At the end of this year, the BBC is taking a three-year break from developing 3D projects...
We were at the posh BBC launch when it was announced that the Doctor Who anniversary special was to be available in 3D, and the reaction, it's fair to say, wasn't one of unabashed excitement. Polite applause greeted the news, but put it this way, it wasn't exactly the talk of the evening.
That lukewarm response appears to tally with the national interest in watching 3D broadcast telly at home. Though the BBC has made a selection of programmes available using the technology, from Olympics coverage to spinny sequin extravaganza, Strictly Come Dancing, the take-up hasn't been great. In fact, the Radio Times cites that 3D coverage of the Olympic Opening Ceremony was only watched by around half of all 3D TV owners in the UK, and that's for a one-off event television spectacle.
The BBC's decision then, to curb 3D development for a period of three years from the end of this year, comes as little surprise. Kim Shillinglaw, the BBC's head of 3D, told the Radio Times, "Watching 3D is quite a hassly experience in the home. You have got to find your glasses before switching on the TV. I think when people watch TV they concentrate in a different way."
After the Doctor Who anniversary special and two minor programmes at the end of this year then, the Beeb is shelving its two-year 3D project. We can't imagine that news comes as, er, a crushing blow to many of you?

The meninges are a layer of protection for the brain which reduces the likelihood of damage to the brain during impact or injury. Meningitis is the infection and inflammation of the meninges, and also involving the cerebral cortex immediately adjacent to the meninges. The cortex is where all the functioning in the brain connects, so the inflammation can result in a reduction of all motor and sensory function throughout the body.
Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells. Bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, allows an uncontrolled increase of white blood cells (WBC).

The Neillsville girl's basketball team is making it's third trip to the state tournament, first time since 2007 and the first time as a Division 4 program. They will face Howards Grove in the semifinals, a team that has never been to the state tournament but still the Warriors say they are preparing for a tough game.
Sophomore Jenny Lindner: "We're working on full court presses because we heard Howards Grove presses us a lot in full man so we're working on that. Getting a bunch of shots up, getting our form back. We're just working, working hard."
Coach John Gaier: "We know based on the last few games its gonna be loud so communication is an issue that we work on and making sure the kids know exactly what we want done and what we want to run and those types of things, so working on that. Making sure that the kids are confident when they step out on the floor and try to create an atmosphere in practice. As well as we can as the distance on the floor. Playing on the bigger floor, doing those types of things is gonna be key. Making them feel as comfortable as they can so that when they step up they're ready to play."

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine
Parish Development Working Group
Added on 02/11/2010
The Rev Canon Ken McReynolds, rector of Lambeg Parish, Connor Diocese, preached a record-breaking five hour 50 minute sermon on Saturday October 30.
The Rev Canon Ken McReynolds
This successful attempt to reclaim the record Mr McReynolds held five years ago has also raised more than £3,000 for the Church Army Evangelist Training Fund.
Eight of Mr McReynolds' faithful flock remained in church for the duration of the sermon, and others dropped in for sections of it. "At no time were there less than 40 people listening which was a relief as I was dreading ending up preaching to just one person," said Mr McReynolds.
Five years ago he held the unofficial record for the longest uninterrupted sermon ever preached – which lasted five hours - but this was later beaten by a clergyman in the south of England who bettered it by 30 minutes.
Now Mr McReynolds has got his record back. Sadly it will remain an 'unofficial' record as he says Guinness's rules on public speaking allow a break every 10 minutes. "If I was to work under that principal then I could have gone on all day," he said.
As it was his biggest concerns posed little or no problem. He only ate a light breakfast and took sips of water, and so did not need the bathroom, and when his voice began to go hoarse early on his wife produced a honey and lemon cure which did the trick. He did admit to growing hungry, getting tired standing, and having a sore back at the end.
One of the biggest challenges was the preparation. Mr McReynolds set his six hour preaching target on Ezra who Nehemiah 8 records as having stood on a wooden platform and read the Law 'from daybreak till noon' – a period estimated to be six hours.
And so he had to write a six hour sermon, which took up most of his waking hours in the week before the event. "Most of the work went into writing the sermon. I prepared for it as I would a normal sermon except this was the equivalent of 24 sermons. I was quite tired by the time I actually started preaching so for that reason I can't see me doing it again. If someone breaks my record, they can keep it," he said.
The topic of the marathon sermon, which got underway at 10am, was 'The Principals of Living,' and in it Mr McReynolds drew on the experience of various Biblical characters. "I kept it vague and yet consistent so people could follow it at whatever stage they joined in," he said.
As it happened he got to the end of his prepared sermon 10 minutes short of the six hours, and as he had broken the record decided to stop there rather than improvise for the final 10 minutes.
"I really enjoyed it. Preaching is something I enjoy in normal circumstances. I was a bit apprehensive at the start because six hours is almost a working day but I got through it ok."
His unusual record attempt captured the imagination of the media and the rector of Lambeg has found himself something of a celebrity. But all the publicity has helped raise awareness of the aim of the preaching marathon, and he has already exceeded his £3,000 target, with money still coming in.
Mr McReynolds was back in front of the church on Sunday morning, but although he conducted the service he left the preaching to someone else. However, he was back in preaching mode on Sunday evening!
Monies raised for the Church Army Evangelist Training Fund will support Craig Dowling, a student from Lambeg Parish, and anyone wishing to register their support for Mr McReynold's record-breaking sermon can still make a donation. Cheques should be made payable to Lambeg Parish Church can be sent to Mr Neill Wilson, 3 Glencourt Close, Ravarnet Road, Lisburn, Co Antrim, BT27 5UR.

text: DATE=5/27/2000 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=HUNGARY - NATO PARLIAMENT (L-ONLY) NUMBER=2-262887 BYLINE=STEFAN BOS DATELINE=BUDAPEST INTERNET=YES CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: The NATO Parliamentary Assembly is meeting in Hungary for the first time since the country became a member of the alliance last year. But as Stefan Bos reports from Budapest, the first day of the four-day session was overshadowed by divisions among American and European delegates about U-S plans to build a missile defense system. TEXT: European and American NATO parliamentarians are meeting to discuss the future of the alliance in the post-cold war world. But shortly after the meetings started, it emerged that the United States and its European allies are at odds on how to approach new challenges in Europe and other hot spots a decade after the collapse of communism. European NATO member nations accused the United States of working on its own to develop a system known as the National Missile Defense system, or N-M-D. A Christian Democratic Party member of the German parliament, Karl Lamers, presented a critical report on the issue for NATO's Subcommittee on Transatlantic Relations. Mr. Lamers told V-O-A News that Europe fears America's missile defense system may lead to a new arms race with China and Russia. /// Lamers Act /// We have to cooperate with Russia and with China. They have problems with this systems. And I think it is necessary -- and I said it in my report -- that before the United States makes such as decision for national missile defense, they should try to make a cooperation with Russia and perhaps to come to a consensus with Russia. /// End Act /// U-S delegates attending the NATO meeting countered that the missile defense system is not yet fully operational and that a final decision on deployment is yet to be made. The head of the U-S House of Representatives delegation, Republican Congressman Douglas Bereuter (of Nebraska), stressed that America has the right to defend itself against what he called "rogue states" such as North Korea. Mr. Bereuter also argued that the United States would be a better NATO partner when it deploys the missile system. /// Bereuter Act /// It could convincingly be argued that the U-S would be more likely to shoulder the risk of defending its allies if the U-S territory were relatively more secure from ballistic missile threats. /// End Act /// But this drew a strong reaction from members of the European Parliament. One of its representatives, Nelly Maes of the Green Party, argued that the American missile defense system would create havoc in Europe and around the world. /// Maes Act /// What kind of security do you promise to us, the citizens. We are thinking that security can only be common security. I hope that the United States will be very careful again in ... terms of confrontation. /// End Act /// /// REST OPT /// U-S officials agreed that the latest diplomatic difficulties about European security may come at a bad time for Hungary, which is the only NATO country bordering Yugoslavia. Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi told V-O-A that Hungary is concerned about the military policies of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and his crackdown on domestic political dissent. Mr. Martonyi urged Russia to back away from close ties with Serbia. /// Martonyi Act /// I do hope that Russia will play a more positive role in this area as part of the cooperation between NATO and Russia. /// End Act /// The NATO Parliamentary Assembly meeting will end on Tuesday when the general-secretary of the alliance, George Robertson, addresses the gathering.

Entitle, A Different Approach To Ebook Subscriptions
Posted at 7:48AM Friday 06 Jun 2014The very public fight between Amazon and Hachette illustrates why it's never a good idea to become too reliant on one distribution channel. A bevy of startups are vying to establish a real alternative in the form of a subscription ebook service, with two of them, Oyster and Scribd, enjoying the most funding and press attention.
But in some important ways, it's the lesser known Entitle Books that's leading the race.

The concert begins at 7:00 pm on December 17, 2012 at 6431 S. 32nd Street.
On December 17, 2012 Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Judy Pancoast will be presenting an outdoor Christmas concert at the home of Terry Stehlik and Gary Morrison at 6431 S. 32nd Street.
The public is invited free of charge, but attendees are asked to bring a donation for Food Bank of Lincoln BackPack Program.
Pancoast is visiting Lincoln as part of her third annual "The House on Christmas Street International Tour," in support of her new CD, "Christmas with Mrs. Claus." Concerts on the tour are performed on the lawns and in the driveways of the decorating enthusiasts who have become her biggest fans and use her music in their animated lighting displays. The Stehlik/Morrison's home is well known in the area for its magnificent annual display. This is the first year that they have hosted Pancoast's tour.
The Food Bank BackPack Program began during the 2004-05 school year at Clinton Elementary School, sending home food-filled backpacks on Friday afternoons with 50 kids. The program quickly took off and now is serving hundreds of students. The BackPack Program's mission is to help alleviate child hunger in southeast Nebraska by providing hungry children with nutritious and easy to prepare food at times when other resources are not available, such as weekends and school vacations.
The BackPack Program continues to provide backpacks filled with food to students in need of food over the weekend. The program primarily targets students who qualify for their school's Free Lunch Program. Many of these students rely on their school's breakfasts and lunches for their most nutritious meals of the day. In some cases, these are their only meals of the day. These students are then faced with a food crisis over the weekend. The BackPack Program is a way to help these students and their families until students return to school on Monday.
Singer-songwriter Judy Pancoast is well-known among families for her four albums of original music for children and her outrageously fun family concerts. She was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Children's Album in 2011 for her CD, "Weird Things are Everywhere!". Pancoast's concert in Lincoln will feature original songs from her two Christmas CDs as well as traditional favorites and sing-a-longs and is sure to put you and your family in a festive mood for Christmas. After the concert, Pancoast invites attendees for a "meet and greet" during which she will sign autographs, pose for photos and offer CDs and tour tee shirts for sale. Ten percent of the proceeds from her sales will also benefit Food Bank of Lincoln BackPack Program
Gary and Terry's "We Believe" Christmas Lights in Lincoln have used Judy's "House on Christmas Street" song in their music and light show for the past couple of years. They feel fortunate to be able to host Judy on one of her 24 stops around the country. They feel equally fortunate to be able to share her live performance with the people in and around Lincoln. Of course during this holiday season having the opportunity to collect donations for the BackPack Program, with all it does to support Lincoln's school children, will make this event something they will never forget.
Gary and Terry encourage everybody to come out and enjoy this unique and joyous event in Lincoln. They hope to have the street in front of their house closed to allow for safety and extra room to enjoy this concert. Remember to dress warm and be prepared to celebrate this very special holiday season, on Monday, December 17, 2012, with Judy, Terry and Gary. And who knows there may be a special guest or two at the performance.
The concert begins at 7:00 pm on December 17, 2012 at 6431 S. 32nd Street. They will be working with the City to close S. 32nd from Laredo to Browning to allow for safety and extra room to enjoy this concert. Even though they have a wide street please carpool as much as possible because parking could be at a premium.

The true-life story of a coach who tries to teach his players that there's more to life than basketball is brought to the screen in this sports drama. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) was once a star player on the Richmond High School basketball team in Richmond, CA, and years later, after establishing himself in publishing and marketing, he returns to the school and to the team as the new basketball coach. Carter quickly sees that his work is cut out for him -- the team is having an awful season, and their fights off the court are more decisive than their play on the court. While Carter wants to make the Richmond Oilers into a winning team, he also wants a lot more -- to teach the boys to respect themselves and one another, and that they must excel in the classroom as well as in the gymnasium. Under Carter's guidance, the team turns their losing season around, with the state title a genuine possibility. However, when Carter learns that a number of his players have let their grade point averages slip below 2.3, as mandated in a contract he entered into with the students, he decides to lock the team out of the gym and send them into study hall until their marks improve. Carter's plan quickly becomes a subject of controversy among parents and team boosters, and their objections are soon picked up by the local news media, many of whom are not sympathetic to Carter's belief that his players must have goals beyond college ball or the NBA. Coach Carter also features Rob Brown and Rick Gonzalez as members of the team, and R&B diva Ashanti in her film debut as the girlfriend of one of Carter's players. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Editor's note: The Dealer LAB is a joint editorial project between Dealernews and PowerHouse Dealer Services, a consulting firm operated by Bill Shenk who is also owner of Destination Powersports in Punta Gorda, Fla. Financial information in this report is sourced from Destination Powersports' Composite Report (prepared from the dealership's monthly financial report) which is supplied to Dealernews by Shenk under an exclusive agreement. Shenk also provides Dealernews contributing editor Joe Delmont with exclusive access to select store and team meetings and other updates; Delmont uses this information as well as interviews with Shenk to develop the monthly Lab report in Dealernews and on Dealernews.com.
The financial information in this report is taken from the dealership's Composite Report supplied by Shenk and prepared for the dealership's participation in the PowerHouse Dealer 20 Group. The Composite Report is prepared from the store's monthly financial report. In preparing these reports, Dealernews reviews the dealership's unaudited P&L statement and balance sheet, as well as its Composite Report.
Destination Powersports of Punta Gorda, Fla., our Dealer Lab dealership, hit a speed bump in August 2011, and posted its first monthly loss of the year, dropping $9,001. While revenues in service, parts, and accessories increased against August 2010, showroom revenues dropped by more than $62,000 or 27.7 percent.
Meanwhile, service increased YoY by 54.9 percent, parts, by 19.2 percent, and accessories, by 27 percent.
The primary cause of the weak showroom performance in August, Bill Shenk says, was personnel and poorly applied procedures. The problems started in June. At that time, there were indications of problems on the horizon even though the June numbers looked great. Revenues were up 10 percent YoY, even though unit sales were flat.
"In August we saw that we weren't spending enough time making friends or building the desire for bike ownership," Shenk says. "For sure, from June forward we were not making friends and creating desire with our internal parts and service customers and previous units customers.
"The showroom people weren't making friends with our service customers or our parts and accessories customers. There wasn't the intensity we needed. We are doing better today, but still need to improve to get to a 'Shenk' level. "It was the classic example of good being the No. 1 enemy of great. When things are good, people don't want to go through the risk and pain of changing to get to be great."
In June, Shenk put the management team on notice that improvements had to be made. In July, when things had not improved sufficiently, the management team was put on probation. "We sat down and went over a list of about 20 items that had to be improved," Shenk recalls. "Things like how we answer the phone, how we track salesperson performance, how our email newsletter was being handled, what was happening with our product merchandising in front of the store, how actively were we reaching out to our customer base by calling our customers. We have to call our customers four times each year. We have to make friends of those customers."
Shenk cut the payroll of the showroom management team (two guys) by 15 percent, beginning in July, a cut that would continue until they did things his way. "That's pretty harsh," Shenk says. "But it was necessary."
For example, Shenk wanted balloons strung from motorcycles in the showroom to show visitors that every day is a party. But over time, the number of balloons declined. "'What don't you understand about my wanting balloons on the bikes?' I asked them. That's a simple thing, but they have to do it my way."
In August, Shenk fired the manager who handled F&I. That's why August F&I performance faltered. It was a good time to make the move, Shenk says. "If you're going to be dead in the water, make it the worst month of the year. That's what we did."
While the dealership was having its internal personnel problems, Florida was having record bad weather, the stock market dropped and consumer confidence continued to slide. It was the perfect storm to dampen unit sales. Today, the remaining sales manager still is on probation. "The lesson here is this: By every number in June, it looked like we were doing a good job, and the sales manager I have right now probably would work out well for most dealers, but it's not enough today.
"It used to be that a good sales manager was really good at negotiating with people who wanted to buy something. Today, you can't make it on that. You have to go out and create buyers. That was our problem: we stopped creating buyers and we just negotiated with people.
"You have to make people hungry, you have to get them excited, you have to show them how easy it is to upgrade. Those are the things you have to do to sell machines today."
Here's another problem that comes back to one of Shenk's key principles: You have to know who didn't buy and why they didn't buy. "We were collecting the data, but our managers didn't immerse themselves in this data and use it effectively," he says.
In another dramatic move, Shenk fired his service manager at the end of August because he was not a team player, and because he caused stress in other departments. Shenk made the move even though service numbers were very strong this year. "Even though we went from $20,000 to $30,000 in service revenue, I let the service manager go. There, again, the No. 1 enemy of great is good."
The cost of payroll for Sales declined from $19,288 last August to only $10,710 in August this year. But that number is not as good as it looks, since sales payroll this year was 42.6 percent of showroom's gross profit, compared to only 33.6 percent in August of 2010. "In other words it looks like the dealership saved money, but it really paid a much larger percentage of its departmental gross profit for the month," Shenk points out. "It really was an increase. Many dealers make this mistake."
On the flip side, the service department continued to perform well, generating revenues of $30,641, up from $19,786 last year and up from the $29,705 posted in July. As a percentage of total dollars, service was 12.6 percent compared to a Top Gun average of 7 percent.
Parts and accessories was a mixed picture in August. Combined revenue was $44,337 up from $39,403 last August, but off from $56,162 in July this year.

Mises Wire
Committees Set Rates Better Than Individuals
So, here's a study from the Bank of England in which the setting of interest rates by a notional central bank for a modelled economy is found to be consistently better when done by committees than when done by lone members of these committees. It tempts one to propose an extended experiment with bigger committees. In fact, the committees could be expanded to include everyone who might want to loan or borrow money, but be limited to people who were setting rates with and for their own money. If this worked out promisingly (at least within the modelled economy), perhaps the central bank could be done away with entirely, with people setting rates not for the bank, but for their own transactions. And the model economy could be dispensed with in favor of what this really would be: a market.

AbstractWe give two arguments why the thermodynamic entropy of non-extensive systems involves R´enyi's entropy function rather than that of Tsallis. The first argument is that the temperature of the configurational subsystem of a mono-atomic gas is equal to that of the kinetic subsystem. The second argument is that the instability of the pendulum, which occurs for energies close to the rotation threshold, is correctly reproduced.

Russia Makes Two Steps Forward, One Back on Katyn Massacre
When Vladimir Putin a few weeks ago invited his Polish counterpart to jointly commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre — scheduled for tomorrow — this prompted a flurry of comments and speculation in Polish media on whether the Russian prime minister was getting ready to re-acknowledge Russia's responsibility for the massacre.
But an official Kremlin document recently sent to the European Court of Human Rights suggests such hopes may be disappointed. In a response to a lawsuit by those seeking Russia's rehabilitation of the Katyn victims, the Russian government said there's no certainty the Polish victims were even shot, while generally Russia is not obliged to conduct an investigation into what it calls "the events." To the rehabilitation calls, the answer is "nyet."
This appears to be dashing hopes that Russia and Poland are nearing a breakthrough on the Katyn issue — a historical bone of contention blocking reconciliation between the two countries.
As the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre was approaching, it appeared Russia was trying to redefine its official stance on the Stalin-ordered killing of about 22,000 Polish military officers and intellectuals by the Soviet secret police and Stalin's tool of repression, the infamous NKVD, during World War II.
From 1943, when the Katyn massacre site was discovered, to 1990, the Soviet Union fully denied its involvement, instead putting the blame on Nazi Germany. In communist-era Poland, that period of history was officially censored — the topic was effectively blacked-out in public discourse.
In 1990, Boris Yeltsin admitted Soviet guilt and later transferred a batch of documents on the issue to Poland. But many public figures in Russia continued to question Soviet responsibility and the authenticity of the documents.
The thinking of many goes like this: "So what? This happened such a long time ago. Why does this even matter?"
But such open issues from the past do matter, especially when many children of the Katyn victims are still alive. They create hostility and high levels of distrust that affect international relations today.
You can see the strong resentments between Russia and Poland in Poland's readiness to host U.S. or NATO military infrastructure and Russia's angry response or in Russia's ban on Polish meat products a few years ago that resulted in Poland blocking the negotiations of a new strategic agreement between Russia and the European Union.
Both Poland and Russia trust Germany, for example, more than each other. You can see it in opinion polls, but also in business decisions, like Russia's plan of building the Nord Stream gas pipeline and in Poland's opposition to it.
To address that distrust, Poland and Russia created a permanent council for difficult historical issues that continue to spoil their cooperation. Attempts to backtrack on Yeltsin's apology for the Katyn massacre is probably what irritates Poland most — and the group that debates the difficult historical issues is spending much of its time discussing it, until recently without much success.
Russian state-owned Kultura television channel seems like it already has — on Friday, it aired "Katyn," a movie by Oscar-winning director Andrzej Wajda, which presents the Polish perspective of how events played out. Several prominent Russian politicians and intellectuals had a candid on-screen discussion about it right after the movie was shown.
To many in Poland, this seemed like a prelude to Putin speech in Katyn with what the Polish public hopes will be Yeltsin's apology restated.
Please forgive me a slightly personal note on Polish-Russian relations. A while ago I wrote what I thought was a perfectly harmless piece presenting two conflicting views on the liberation of Auschwitz, another historical dispute between Poland and Russia.
As it turned out, one of those views — the one that's sceptical about the myth of the sanctified Soviet Soldier the Liberator — is so abhorrent for the Russian public that, amid the storm of offensive comments under the Russian version of the article, I was singled out as the reason "why Poles and Russians hate each other."
To further complicate the already difficult Polish-Russian relationship has never been my intention — I'm strongly convinced it's not even in my power. But what the Russian government says is much more important, and if I could point out a recent statement that didn't serve the Polish-Russian reconciliation, I'd say Russia's response to the European Court of Justice had an effect far more antagonizing than anything I might ever write.
A perfect occasion for some reconciliation, however, will come Wednesday when Putin delivers his speech at a forest near Smolensk in the presence of Polish officials.

An Accident of Birth Delivers a Most Unusual Scholarship
Twenty years ago last May, John's mother, Phyllis, now 46, went into labor under the flagpole and gave birth to her son minutes later in a nearby classroom building. To honor a promise made by the school's late president, Robert Hammill, college authorities have awarded John a one-semester scholarship to Lane. "It's a dream come true," says John, with a grin, of his belated birthday present. "Birth is always something of an accident, but I'm sure lucky it happened there."
Lester's windfall, worth around $1,100, came about because Lane, looking for ways to publicize its 25th anniversary, started a search this fall for the mystery baby born on campus 20 years earlier. A friend of John's, who knew the circumstances of his birth, read about the college's search in a local newspaper and tipped him off. For Lester, who graduated from high school in June and didn't have enough money to go to college, the timing couldn't have been better. (Next semester, he will receive a federal grant to continue his studies.)
Lester's identity had remained a mystery because his mother chose to remain anonymous at the time of her son's birth. It was a difficult period for Phyllis, then a secretarial student at Lane. Her husband had deserted her and their 5-year-old daughter, Lisa, a few months earlier. (They later divorced.) At 275 lbs. she was also grossly overweight and, amazingly, unaware of her pregnancy. After classes on May 6,1969, she went into labor under the flagpole. A stranger ran for help into the nearest building, which happened to house the department of nursing. While nursing instructor Arlene Underhill searched for sterile equipment and called the local hospital for an ambulance, her students wheeled Phyllis into the makeshift maternity ward. A registered nurse, Underhill had never delivered a baby. "I heard that ambulance screaming over the hill and I thought, 'Oh, good. At least the ambulance drivers can deliver her.' " Wrong. One knew nothing, and the other turned pasty white and began to tremble. Underhill did the honors.
Last week Phyllis, John and Underhill, now 67 and retired, and a supporting cast who helped out at the birth, got together for a reunion at the college. Phyllis, for one, is thrilled that a member of the family is back at her alma mater. "I told John the other day, 'Well, son, I may not have been able to do much else for you, but I guess I did one thing right.' "

Icelandic Glacial Warms to Ukraine
Icelandic Water Holdings hf, makers of the award-winning, premium natural spring water from Iceland, Icelandic Glacial, has announced a partnership with Ukrainian distributor of wines, spirits and beverages, Wine Bureau. Headquartered in Kiev, Wine Bureau will begin to immediately distribute Icelandic Glacial natural spring water to accounts throughout the Ukrainian market including Wine Bureau's own Good Wine stores.
"We are very pleased to announce Wine Bureau as our latest distribution channel in the Ukraine," said Jon Olafsson, chairman and co-founder, Icelandic Glacial. "The Wine Bureau's vast knowledge and reach with the premium beverage category is unsurpassed and a natural fit when choosing a distribution channel to this great country—we look forward to providing the Ukraine with a true piece of Iceland with every sip."
Renowned for its exceptional purity and environmental credentials, Icelandic Glacial™ is bottled at the source from the legendary Ölfus Spring in Iceland, providing customers with remarkably pristine water of the highest level of quality. The Ukraine represents the sixth (6th) new market for Icelandic Glacial™ so far in 2013 as the brand continues to grow throughout Europe and other regions.
"Wine Bureau is excited to introduce Icelandic Glacial throughout the Ukraine and into our key on premise accounts including Good Wine stores," said Vladimer Shapovalov, Director and Owner, Wine Bureau. "We recognized the demand for a distinctive premium natural spring water in our market, and Icelandic Glacial Water answers these demands—with its Icelandic source, exceptional purity and state-of-the-art environmental sustainability."
The source of Icelandic Glacial is Iceland's legendary Ölfus Spring, a naturally replenished catchment zone formed during a massive volcanic eruption more than 5,000 years ago. The Spring has been deemed certifiably sustainable by Zenith International, Europe's leading food and drinks consultancy. The Ölfus Spring produces water so pure that nothing is added or taken away. As a result, Icelandic Glacial possesses exceptional balance that is the envy of the industry, featuring a naturally occurring low mineral content and naturally high alkaline pH level of 8.4.
As a testament to its exceptional purity, Icelandic Glacial was chosen by Parfums Christian Dior as the exclusive hydration method, which is used in their Diorsnow line of skin-lightening beauty products.
Icelandic Glacial is distributed in the United States by Anheuser-Busch, which took a 20 percent ownership stake in the company in July 2007.

MARIETTA - "Marietta - Come live the good life - GoodLifeMarietta.com" could soon be the new logo gracing the North Hills water tower, according to a discussion during Wednesday's meeting of Marietta City Council's water, sewer and sanitation committee.
"We're trying to develop a singular brand for the city of Marietta," said Mark Schwendeman, member of the Marietta Community Foundation Board that has proposed the new logo.
The good life logo is part of a larger effort by the foundation to promote the Marietta community by employing a variety of techniques to "brand Marietta - using its authenticity, richness and natural treasures - as a desirable small town for living a good and fulfilling life," and "extend an invitation to come live the good life," according to the GoodLifeMarietta.com website.
Water, sewer and sanitation committee chairman Mike McCauley, D-2nd Ward, said the North Hills tower is scheduled for repainting later this summer and committee members hope the contractor will be able to add the proposed logo in place of the current "Marietta, Ohio" wording on the water tank.
"We liked the concept," he said. "The tower can be seen by vehicles traveling along I-77, and travelers can log onto the GoodLifeMarietta.com site that contains information and videos about the city."
Schwendeman said the GoodLifeMarietta.com site includes a link to the city's mariettaoh.net website.
In other business Wednesday, wastewater superintendent Steve Elliott suggested the city have a five- to six-month study performed on the 20 miles of municipal sewer lines on the west side of the Muskingum River.
He said there are improvements being planned for lift stations and pumps in the west side system, but a "choke point" exists somewhere in the system that causes sanitary sewer overflows during periods of heavy rain.
Elliott said a 1,350-foot, 10-inch diameter sewer main that carries sewerage under the Muskingum to the east side of the river and on to the wastewater treatment plant may be part of the problem, but a study would be needed to verify whether that is an issue.
He said it's not practical to spend money on upgrades to lift stations and pump stations if the system doesn't have the capacity to handle the current 200,000 gallons a day of wastewater.
And McCauley noted when the Oak Grove area is tied into the city's wastewater system, the volume is expected to double to 400,000 gallons a day.
"We want to be able to size the west side system adequately," Elliott said.
The committee members agreed to pursue a study.

A jury deliberated for just under three hours before finding Jeffrey Allen guilty of capital murder in the March 2011 robbery and shooting death of Mason's Junkyard owner Charlie Mason.
The Sun Herald reported that Allen, 34, was automatically sentenced to life in prison Thursday because the state was not seeking the death penalty in the case.
Allen and Donna Marie Freeman were each arrested on a charge of capital murder in the March 1, 2011.
The state maintains Allen and Freeman went to Mason's home with plans to rob him of cash to pay Allen's electric bill when Freeman, Mason's former girlfriend, allegedly shot Mason to death.
Freeman, of St. Martin, is also charged with capital murder. She has not yet gone to trial.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE TOWERS; Experts Urging Broader Inquiry In Towers' Fall
By JAMES GLANZ and ERIC LIPTON
Published: December 25, 2001
Saying that the current investigation into how and why the twin towers fell on Sept. 11 is inadequate, some of the nation's leading structural engineers and fire-safety experts are calling for a new, independent and better-financed inquiry that could produce the kinds of conclusions vital for skyscrapers and future buildings nationwide.
Senator Charles E. Schumer and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, both of New York, have joined the call for a wider look into the collapses. In an interview on Friday, Mr. Schumer said he supported a new investigation ''not so much to find blame'' for the collapse of the buildings under extraordinary circumstances, ''but rather so that we can prepare better for the future.''
''It could affect building practices,'' he said. ''It could affect evacuation practices. We live in a new world and everything has to be recalibrated.''
Experts critical of the current effort, including some of those people who are actually conducting it, cite the lack of meaningful financial support and poor coordination with the agencies cleaning up the disaster site. They point out that the current team of 20 or so investigators has no subpoena power and little staff support and has even been unable to obtain basic information like detailed blueprints of the buildings that collapsed.
While agreeing that any building hit by a jetliner would suffer potentially devastating damage, experts want to examine whether the twin towers may have had hidden vulnerabilities that contributed to their collapse.
The lightweight steel trusses that supported the tower's individual floors, the connections between the trusses and the buildings' vertical structural columns, as well as possible flaws in the fireproofing have been drawing scrutiny from fire safety consultants and engineers in recent weeks.
''Two buildings came down,'' said Joseph F. Russo, director of the Center for Fire Safety Engineering at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, referring to the twin towers. ''That suggests some degree of predictability.''
''And if it was predictable,'' Mr. Russo said, ''was it preventable?''
Family members of some victims have added their voices to the calls for a wider investigation.
The exact scope of an expanded inquiry has not been defined. But the central desire is to learn any lessons that might be hidden in the rubble and to pinpoint the exact sequence and cause of the collapse, regardless of whether it was inevitable from the moment the planes struck, members of the investigative team and others said.
In calling for a new investigation, some structural engineers have said that one serious mistake has already been made in the chaotic aftermath of the collapses: the decision to rapidly recycle the steel columns, beams and trusses that held up the buildings. That may have cost investigators some of their most direct physical evidence with which to try to piece together an answer.
Officials in the mayor's office declined to reply to written and oral requests for comment over a three-day period about who decided to recycle the steel and the concern that the decision might be handicapping the investigation.
''The city considered it reasonable to have recovered structural steel recycled,'' said Matthew G. Monahan, a spokesman for the city's Department of Design and Construction, which is in charge of debris removal at the site.
''Hindsight is always 20-20, but this was a calamity like no other,'' said Mr. Monahan, who was designated by the mayor's office to respond to questions about the investigation. ''And I'm not trying to backpedal from the decision.''
Interviews with a handful of members of the team, which includes some of the nation's most respected engineers, also uncovered complaints that they had at various times been shackled with bureaucratic restrictions that prevented them from interviewing witnesses, examining the disaster site and requesting crucial information like recorded distress calls to the police and fire departments.
The investigation, organized immediately after Sept. 11 by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the field's leading professional organization, has been financed and administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A mismatch between the federal agency and senior engineers accustomed to bypassing protocol in favor of quick answers has been identified as a clear point of friction.
''This is almost the dream team of engineers in the country working on this, and our hands are tied,'' said one team member who asked not to be identified. Members have been threatened with dismissal for speaking to the press.
''FEMA is controlling everything,'' the team member said. ''It sounds funny, but just give us the money and let us do it, and get the politics out of it.''
A spokesman for FEMA, John Czwartacki, said the agency's primary mission was to help victims, emergency workers and to speed the city's recovery, and added, ''We are not an investigative agency.''
But given the assignment to examine the structural failures at the World Trade Center, the agency has so far spent roughly $100,000 and Mr. Czwartacki said that more financing could be expected after the group produced what he called an ''interim document'' in the spring.

Mercyhurst Prep's Elia, McBride win PIAA doubles title
HERSHEY -- More than an hour had passed since Mercyhurst Prep seniors Katie Elia and Brittany McBride had teamed to capture the PIAA Class AA girls doubles tennis championship, but neither one of them could quite believe it actually happeened.
"It hasn't set in yet," Elia said Saturday eveneing after she and her partner polished off Scranton Prep's Gracy Reilly and Emily Jonsson 6-0, 6-1 in the championship match to finish a four-match weekend sweep and claim their second gold medal in as many weeks. "It's still surreal."
McBride had trouble putting it into words.
"It's like I don't feel any of that really just happened," she said. "It's an amazing feeling. I'm beyond happy."
And for good reason, as she and her partner followed up last weekend's team championship with their own individual hardware.
Elia and McBride reached the semifinals in last year's PIAA tournament, only to lose, then salvage a bronze medal. This year, they cleared that semi-final hurdle Saturday morning, beating Wyomissing's Mara Trifoi and Caroline Pattillo 6-1, 6-2, to earn their berth in the finals.
Mercyhurst Prep coach Kelly Maslar couldn't have been happier for her two seniors. "They were incredible," she said. "They were motivated from finishing third last year. They just came out and took care of business. They were a dominating team.
"They played four quality teams and didn't drop a set. It was truly a perfect ending to a perfect season."
Although the numbers indicate the Lakers' senior tandem had little trouble taking home the state title, both Elia and McBride said the final scores were misleading.
"All four of our matches here were tough," Elia said. "We'd go down in games and then come right back and win. The scores don't reflect how tough some of these teams were."
In particular, McBride said, Saturday's championship match was no walk in the park. "It looks like we had an easy match and just kicked butt," she said. "But it wasn't easy -- we had to stay focused and play hard the entire time. I wasn't sure we were going to win until we actually won."
McBride said she felt confident going into the semifinal match with Trifoi and Pattillo, but once that match was over, she was concerned about taking on Reilly and Jonsson -- Scranton Prep's top two singles players.
"I saw them play singles and I knew how good they were," she said. "I was a little nervous."
Saturday marked the end of a long road for Elia and McBride, who did not play together throughout the regular season. McBride played No. 3 singles and Elia played No. 1 doubles with Taylor Levinson.
But the two had their eyes on the state prize all along, and prepared accordingly.
"We're best friends and we've been training for this for as long as I can remember," McBride said. "Even throughout the high school season we were arranging hits with adults and other high school kids, just to make sure we didn't lose what we had in doubles. We've been training really hard."
Still, Elia said it was a bit of an adjustment teaming with McBride in the postseason after partnering with Levinson in the regular season.
"I was so used to Taylor taking a lot of balls down the middle and picking off some of the lobs," she said. "I was just used to her game. They're both amazing doubles players, and Brittany really stepped up and helpled me out."
Elia said reaching last year's semifinals and getting to the state tournament her first three years was a great experience, and last weekend's team-tournament success helped make this weekend's road a little easier to negotiate.
"This year, we went in with the attitude to go and have fun," she said. "Winning states last week sort of took the pressure off. We'd already won two state titles, so anything else we could do would just be extra. So it was more just to have fun.
"I'll take the gold medal, though."
Elia and McBride did not drop a set in the state tournament and in fact the last time they lost a set came in the District 10 final against teammates Levinson and Caitlyn Schultz.
Both agreed that match might have been their toughest of the postseason. "But with each match, we've gotten better and better," McBride said.
Both Elia and McBride said they hoped their tennis careers would not end with their doubles title, but added that they would not base their college choices solely on their sport.
"I'm definitely thinking about it," said McBride, who is interested in studying business. "I've come so far in tennis -- I don't want to stop playing."
Elia said she's not sure yet what she wants to study -- but it likely won't involve math or science, she joked. She said she'll make her college choice based on academics "and hopefully I'll continue to play tennis."

This book chronicles the story of love which is considered an Indian creation. The first love story of the world was found in the Rig Veda and the first comprehensive work on love was written in India with Kamasutra becoming one of its offshoots. Love techniques were perfected over centuries and sculpted on the walls of temples of Khajuraho and Konark. Since ancient times, rishis in India have believed that it was love which came first and then followed the world. The origin and evolution of love in India is traced in an elaborate manner providing invaluable insights which makes this book a rare treasury in itself. This book draws from concrete sources including cave paintings, ancient archaeological finds and mass of literature belonging to the Vedic and Buddhist era to give you the complete portrayal of love. Through love lyrics, humourous plays and erotic description, "Love in Ancient India" takes your through a timeless saga of royalty and grandeur, beauty and infidelity, all of which are interspersed with the concept of the world's most bewitching expression - love..

My last post criticized the MLB Network's on-air analysis, but the theme song for the network's "30 Teams in 30 Days" is excellent. It's "C'mon C'mon" by the Von Bondies, which is also the theme song of one of my favorite shows "Rescue Me." The actual program is decent, as it previews a major league team with interviews and analysis. The Mets version aired this past Tuesday, but you can re-watch it here pretty soon.
In other news, Johan Santana is experiencing some elbow stiffness. It's too early to panic about this, but it's definitely troublesome. Hopefully the Mets handle this better than they did Ryan Church's concussion problems last season.

Standing Firm: The Tarmail Mail Server
Version 1.0.0 of the Tarmail mail server has just been released. The developers claim that their software is particularly resilient against exploits, spam and email worms.
To achieve this, the developers have adopted a strict interpretation of the SMTP protocol based on RFC 2821. This gives them the ability to reject undesirable mail in the SMTP dialog. Among other things, this involves strict syntax checking for commands. At the same time, administrators can block IP addresses or deploy graylists. Each user has a personal whitelist and blacklist for email senders. In addition, the SMTP server is resilient against dictionary attacks.
Tarmail is written in C; the developers try to support as many Unix-style systems as possible. The server source code is available from the Tarmail homepage and can be built and deployed on many Linux distributions, including Fedora 7 and Ubuntu 7.04. The software is licensed under the GPL Version 2.
