The Caine Mutiny, novel by Herman Wouk, published in 1951. The novel was awarded the 1952 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The Caine Mutiny grew out of Wouk's experiences aboard a destroyer-minesweeper in the Pacific in World War II. The novel focuses on the gradual maturation of Willie Keith, a rich New Yorker assigned to the USS Caine. But the work is best known for its portrayal of the neurotic Captain Queeg, who becomes obsessed with petty infractions and concerns at the expense of the safety of ship and crew. Cynical, intellectual Lieutenant Tom Keefer persuades loyal Lieutenant Steve Maryk that Queeg's bizarre behaviour is endangering the ship; Maryk reluctantly relieves Queeg of command. Much of the book describes Maryk's court-martial and its aftermath.

Candice Glover Wins 'American Idol'
Tonight, powerhouse Candice Glover, a 23-year-old from St. Helena Island, South Carolina, became the first female contestant in six seasons to take the Idol title on "American Idol." She beat runner-up Kree Harrison, also 23, of Woodville, Texas.
Before the results of last night's votes were revealed, a star-studded line-up rocked the stage. The Top Ten finalists sang "Glad You Came" first, though, giving us a look at what their summer tour might look like.
The Band Perry took the stage singing "Done" and was joined by Janelle Arthur, who made it to the all-girl top five.
There was a funny video in which the guys claimed that they were sabotaged by the girls–pegged off one by one. At the end of it, Jordin Sparks appeared and said a girl needed to win this season so sabotage had to happen, that none of the guys played a guitar, which didn't help them, and that lots of Idol has-beens were having success on "The Voice."
Then they guys performed a medley of songs by The Four Seasons before Frankie Valli joined them and added "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Grease" to the mix.
The show returned from a break to judge Mariah Carey on stage singing a medley of her songs. It felt very abrupt, like the timing of the show was off and she started singing before TV caught up with her. Fellow judge Randy Jackson played in her band as she performed.
Amber Holcomb, who made it to the top four, sang "Next to Me." She was joined by Emeli Sandé.
In a rather moving moment, Kree and Candice presented their hometown mentors, Kree's "musical soulmate" and Candice's grandmother, with Ford cars.
Then Psy livened things up with his latest anthem, "Gentlemen."
Keith Urban performed his new single "Little Bit of Everything."
In one of the those fabulous Idol moments that will be remembered for a while, Candice and Jennifer Hudson sang an incredible rendition of "Insufferable."
Top-three finalist Angie Miller got two duets tonight. She sang "Titanium" from behind the piano with Adam Lambert, followed by a "Domino" duet with Jesse J, Angie's idol. Jesse asked Angie if she could fly her to the UK to sing Angie's single at a concert. Apparently, Angie could have either sang the single she wrote herself or joined Jesse J. Seems like, given the offer, she made the right choice.
The top ten got the chance in a video to make fun of the judges' habits—Mariah's "darling," Keith's getting into the music (but no mention of "baby"), Randy's "In it to win it." And Nicki's straight-shooting words and her changing hair.
Kree sang Keith's "Where the Blacktop Ends" with Keith and Randy on stage too.
There was a tribute to Randy Jackson, who is leaving the show. Randy is the only original judge left. There was a look back at many of his memorable moments over the years. It seems like "Dawg" is officially retired, though Ryan said, "The door is always open."
Aretha Franklin, who famously doesn't like to fly, joined the show from New York via remote, and gave Candice a little pep talk before joining the top five girls in a bi-coastal performance. Aretha also joked that she had the results.
It was a diva-fest tonight as Jennifer Lopez, a judge last year, performed with Pitbull.
The girls sang one final duet together, then, finally, the results were revealed, a little past the scheduled time for the show to end.
A few parting questions: Could Nicki have looked more bored out of her mind the most of the time? Maybe because she was the only judge not to perform? What was with Randy's pink floral jacket? What was with Nicki's furry boots? Did anyone find the dog tribute to Randy remotely funny? Do you think the diva-judges will be back?
Do you think the right person won? Leave your comments.

@pg wrote "Best season in years. Votes were spot on. All were good but Candace is the best."
@Rick wrote "you are so very wrong candice and kree will both become legends."
@boots wrote "Should have been Kree she is a much more pop./ marketable singer.. Candice will go like so many other winners. she will fall into obscurity and no one will remember who she is while Kree will have a huge career."

GAA President Liam O'Neill in favour of black card for hurling
Updated: Tuesday, 03 Dec 2013 11:58 | Comments
The GAA President Liam O'Neill says he supports the idea of introducing the 'black card' into hurling.
The new ruling will come into effect in gaelic football next month.
O'Neill says he could see the punishment being used in both codes but is not sure whether hurling is ready for change just yet.
Speaking to reporters in Shanghai where the GAA-GPA All Stars are in action, the Laois native said: "I'd love to see it come into hurling, yeah, and I don't fear it coming into hurling.
"I don't see why we should allow people to deliberately pull down in hurling either or deliberately body collide or deliberately trip, so I would see them coming in for all.
"I'm not quite sure of the pace of it," he replied, when asked about when this might happen.
"I wish counties and clubs would see the benefit of it themselves but I don't mind that a committee we picked for football gets it done because they couldn't get it done the last time because hurling said 'no'."

Second verse, worse than the first. From the Sunday Mercury, a midlands paper.
YOUNG Muslims are being taught extremist views in Midland mosques, an undercover investigation has allegedly found. Shock footage of children being taught to hate non-Muslims and even being beaten by their teachers will be aired on Channel 4's Dispatches tomorrow night.
A hidden camera installed at an unnamed faith school based in a Birmingham mosque recorded a preacher telling pupils: "The disbelievers are the worst creatures.'' The schoolchildren, some as young as 11 years-old, are then told not to trust more liberal Muslims.
Their teacher said: "The person who's got less than a fistful of beard, then you should stay away from him the same way you should stay away from a serpent or a snake."
"The Hindus, they drink p***, I've told you this. Do they have any intellect? No."
In more footage filmed at a mosque in Yorkshire, teenagers and a preacher are seen to be hitting younger children. Pupils as young as six are seen being slapped and kicked by their elders.
Dispatches: Lessons in Hatred and Violence airs on Channel 4 at 8pm tomorrow night. Website here.

The deadliest attack took place late Sunday night when gunmen in a speeding car opened fire randomly on a gathering of people on a street in the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, killing four people and wounding three, said Kirkuk deputy police chief Maj. Gen. Torhan Abdul-Rahman Youssef.
Earlier in the day, police officials said a roadside bomb struck an army patrol near the northern city of Mosul, killing three soldiers.
Along with security officials being killed, there have been multiple bloody attacks targeting civilians in cafes as they broke their daily fast.

Lessons learned from Hurricane ArthurUPDATED 5:47 PM CDT Jul 10, 2014
While southeast Louisiana wasn't in Arthur's path, it was a good opportunity to test preparation, the National Weather Service said.Video Transcript
EAST COAST LAST WEEK ... ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT A STRONG STORM... IT SERVED AS A REMINDER TO ALL OF US ALONG THE GULF COAST TO GET READY NOW. AS WE APPROACH THE BUSIEST TIME OF HURRICANE SEASON NEXT MONTH, METEOROLOGIST KWEILYN MURPHY IS ON YOUR SIDE WITH LESSONS LEARNED FROM ARTHUR... AND THE NEW TOOL METEOROLOGISTS ARE USING TO KEEP YOU SAFE. "Hurricane Arthur was the first hurricane of the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane season. While that system is all said and done, it certainly washed up reminders that anything is possible during this hurricane season." "Let's review the procedures. Let's make sure the systems are going to operate. Are the formatters going to work? Let's make sure if that was us, that we'd be ready to go" THIS IS KEN GRAHAM, METEOROLOGIST IN CHARGE AT THE NWS OFFICE IN SLIDELL. AND WHILE OUR AREA WASN'T UNDER THE GUN WITH HURRICANE ARTHUR, IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO TEST PREPARATION. "Preparation is everything. Because we go back to looking back at Isaac where there were so many quotes of, 'it's just a category one.' There's no such thing. There's no such thing as 'Hurricane Just-a.' There's never been a hurricane 'just-a' There's never goin' be a 'hurricane Just'a'. There's no such thing as a 'just-a one.' So look at the recent event. Even the Fourth of July weekend. It was a one, then it became a two. THAT can happen." ARTHUR WAS A REMINDER THAT WHEN IT COMES TO IMPACTS FROM TROPICAL SYSTEMS, YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET A WEEK'S NOTICE. IN FACT... "Hurricane Camille. A Category five historic storm was 80 hours of notice. That's it." WIDESPREAD FLOODING AND INUNDATED ROADS WERE AMONG ARTHUR'S EAST COAST IMPACTS. BUT, LOCATIONS WERE BETTER PREPARED, THANKS TO THIS NEWLY IMPLEMENTED TOOL. IT'S A STORM SURGE MAP. A GAME-CHANGER, IF YOU WILL. "this is something that people watching this station will probably see on the air." "THIS people can read and understand how much water is on the way. And that's our biggest threat in Louisiana." THE MAP SHOWS A 90-PERCENT PROBABILITY OF OCCUREENCE. AND EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE IS HOW THE NEW TOOL HANDLES THE TINIEST CHANGE IN SIZE, SPEED, DIRECTION, OR INTENSITY OF TROPICAL SYSTEMS. "this map takes all of that into account. That way, it doesn't change between forecasts very much." CATEGORY-TWO HURRICANE ARTHUR WAS A TRUE HURRICANE MYTH-BUSTER. "you can get storms, big storms, in El Nino season. So just because we only get three or four storms a season, it just takes one to ruin our day. So we have to be prepared, whether it's going to be one or twelve." I'M METEOROLOGIST KWEILYN MURPHY...WDSU NEWS. AND DON'T FORGET W-D-S-U IS ON YOUR SIDE THROUGHOUT HURRICANE SEASON... YOU CAN TRACK ARTHUR WITH THE WDSU HURRICANE CENTRAL APP. IT HAS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PLAN FOR A STORM AND WHEN ONE APPROACHES IT WILL PROVIDE VITAL INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. IT'S FREE IN BOTH THE APPLE APP AND GOOGLE PLAY STORES.

Folk Economics
Paul H. Rubin
Emory University - Department of Economics
Folk economics is the intuitive economics of untrained persons. It is concerned with distribution, and does not allow for or understand incentives. Folk economic notions evolved in our ancestors in circumstances where there was little in the way of specialization, division of labor, capital investment, or economic growth. It can explain the beliefs of naive individuals regarding matters such as international trade, labor economics, law and economics, and industrial organization. It is important that voters understand economic principles. Economists would do a better job of persuading others and of teaching if we paid explicit attention to folk economics. Because untrained individuals do not fully understand gains from trade, training in economics is likely to improve welfare by increasing the number of trading opportunities. There is evidence that this is in fact true.

First look: Poinsettia Bowl
How the San Diego State got here: Going into Oct. 20's Nevada game, SDSU was 4-3, and the unlikely underdogs against an in-sync Wolf Pack team. But the stars aligned in Reno, and SDSU pulled out a dramatic 39-38 overtime win. Thereafter, self-belief drove the Aztecs. No. 19 Boise State? No problem. SDSU edged Boise on the road 21-9 to position itself for a share of the Mountain West title, and sealed the deal with a win over Wyoming two weeks later.
How BYU got here: In a season where the Cougars haven't been able to muster much offense, defense has been the name of their game. While not flashy – who can forget ugly 7-6 losing effort vs. Boise State? – it's been effective. BYU has held three opponents to seven points or less this season. Its 7-5 record should not be taken at face value because four of those five L's came against teams that finished in the BCS top-25.
Introducing San Diego State coach Rocky Long: Cougars fans, meet Rocky Long, the Aztecs' gutsy gambler of a coach whose go-for-it moxie has SDSU completing 67 percent of its fourth-down conversion attempts. As he's showed multiple times this year, Long isn't afraid to take chances. He's also the architect of a stiff 3-3-5 defense that has finally learned to stop the pass, but is geared toward stuffing the run. He has his team playing with confidence, and he'll back down from nothing.
Introducing BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall: Mendenhall is no stranger to Long's unique 3-3-5. He was Long's defensive coordinator at New Mexico, and knows the scheme well enough to nullify any advantage the Aztecs have in that regard. In eight seasons as BYU's head coach, Mendenhall has restored the Cougars to national prominence. BYU has finished in the top-25 in five of the last six years. Like Long, Mendenhall doubles as defensive coordinator. His 2012 defense is ranked No. 3 nationally.
Three San Diego State players to watch
- TE Gavin Escobar: Against the Cougars' tough rush defense, SDSU might have to work the pass game. Escobar leads the Aztecs with 519 receiving yards and six TDs.
- LB Jake Fely: The Cougars have struggled to hold off opposing pass rushers. Fely leads the Aztecs with 11.5 tackles for loss. SDSU needs a big game from him.
- RB Adam Muema: Aztecs rushing leader Muema (1,355 yards) faces his stiffest challenge yet: BYU's No. 2 rush defense. Can he excel without Walter Kazee to spell him?
Three BYU players to watch:
- QB Riley Nelson: The oft-injured Nelson has thrown 12 picks vs. 13 TDs in 2012. Poor decisions could spell doom for BYU.
- WR Cody Hoffman: Tall, rangy NFL prospect who leads team with 134 yards and 11 TDs. If he and Nelson get hot, it could be game over.
- LB Kyle Van Noy: With a whopping 18.5 tackles for loss, including 11.5 sacks, Van Noy is every QB's worst nightmare.
Why San Diego State will win: SDSU takes a seven-game win streak and all the momentum in the world into something of a rivalry game. The Aztecs will be playing in what practically amounts to a home game, in front of what will likely be a partisan crowd. They've been solid on defense of late, and shouldn't have too much trouble stopping the Cougars so-so offense. The biggest question is whether their run-first offense can get by the Cougars' big D?
Why BYU will win: Defense, defense and more defense. BYU is No. 2 in rush defense, No. 3 in total defense, No. 5 in scoring defense, and No. 13 in pass defense. No matter how you slice it, BYU's defense is vacuum-tight. And considering that the Aztecs rely on the run to open up the play-action pass, they could be in trouble if Muema struggles against a Cougars rush D that has held opponents to 84.25 yards per game.
How/Where to get tickets for this game: Visit GoAztecs.com, call 619-283-7378, or head down to the Aztec Ticket Office at Qualcomm Stadium's Window E. (Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
Tickets are priced at $60 each through the SDSU ticket office.

Disputes and conflicts between family members, while still frequently considered private matters, have long been the territory of lawyers and courts. It's the language surrounding the resolution of these cases that has changed, says UVic law professor Hester Lessard.
She will discuss an increasing tendency to frame family conflicts in the context of human rights in "The Family, Fundamental Rights, and Constitutional Values" on
Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the 1996 Classroom Building, room C103. This provost's UVic faculty series presentation is free and open to the public, although seating is limited.
"In custody cases, instead of parents arguing that denial of access is unfair, they're arguing that a fundamental issue of human rights is at stake," says Lessard. "Family court judges used to make decisions based on what they considered to be in the best interests of the child. Now they must consider the human rights implications as well."
Lessard says the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights in 1982 marked the beginning of a shift into the language of rights on a wide range of social and political issues, including those concerning familial relationships. Her presentation will examine how judges are responding to demands from litigants to describe familial issues in terms of fundamental constitutional values. She'll discuss what their judgments say about the way in which concepts of the family fit within judicial notions of the Canadian constitutional order, and the extent to which these views resonate with larger structural changes and broader concerns about social and economic policy.
Lessard notes that the convergence of family and constitutional law does not present a unified picture. In some areas, the charter is being used to challenge traditional notions of the family and to pluralize and democratize the family. In other areas, the charter is being invoked to reinforce conservative family values and conceptions of family relationships.

That is the greatest single year percentage hike in 14 years.
State Property Tax Administrator Cathy Lang says the increase is primarily due to cuts in aid by the Legislature and increases in taxes by those affected to make up the difference.
The figures released Friday were for property taxes levied last year due to be paid in 2004. The impact on any individual taxpayer depends on where that person is located and what the local taxes are.
The Legislature cut aid to schools, cities, counties and others last year to deal with the state's faltering economy and reductions in sales and income tax revenue.
Property taxes are levied and spent locally.

WEBS, American's Yarn Store America's Yarn Store
A terrific gift for anyone interested in learning to use a drop spindle. This kit contians a quality hardwood top whorl, drop spindle with an oil finish, and a custom designed spindle hook, one ounce of natural fiber, and an instructional video how to use a drop spindle to spin fiber.
NOTE: These kits now contain natural fiber (not multicolored). The company's packaging has not yet been updated and still shows multicolored fiber on the outside and has an insert that refers to multicolored fiber.

Comments about Nancy's Knit Knacks Learn to Spin Kit:
I received this as a gift. This was originally advertised as having one ounce of multicolored fiber. The picture on the box included a lovely blueish fiber that I was so looking forward to trying. Instead, it contained an ounce of natural fiber. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box! I contacted WEBS immediately and didn't hear back from them until I contacted them a second time and informed that they would not be getting a favorable review. I was asked to hold off on the review until they could contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the manufacturer decided to change the fiber they included in the kit without changing their advertising. WEBS offered to exchange the kit or provide a 20% discount. I accepted the discount for my mother who purchased the kit since I really liked the spindle after giving it a little TLC. I've only watched half of the video included, but it seems good enough.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These bouts will take place one after another, making it a test of endurance as well as skill. It also means you will face each fighter twice. The Shire member with the most wins will be proclaimed the Shire Champion and the visiting fighter with the most wins will be New Year's Champion and receive a small prize.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Tony Davis,
When one ventures into the lair of the developer, it is common to find many of them "hiding behind their cans". In other words, they are wearing a large pair of headphones, and staring at their computer screen with a look of rapt concentration that seeks to defy any attempt at interruption. One the odd occasion when I've been brave enough to try, I've often been assaulted, as the headphones slipped from their ears, by a wave of ghastly "techno" music.
My theory is that, for developers, what's needed is music that, almost as a survival instinct, the brain would shy away from processing. The music therefore, serves the dual purpose of not distracting the brain from the singular task of solving the coding problem at hand, while at the same time blocking out more familiar sounds that the brain would instinctively process.
This theory does not seem to hold, though, when it comes to DBAs. Whichever part of the DBA brain is engaged by the execution of complex database processes, it seems to be one that one that works in harmony with the section of the brain that digests good, honest sing-a-long Rock music, with maybe a bit of Blues thrown in.
DBAs can be found tracking down critical database performance issues while singling happily, although tunelessly, along to "Dirty reads done dirt cheap", by AC/DC, or emphasizing quietly with "Man of constraint sorrow" as they sort out a data integrity problem.
Am I right? If so, what else is on the DBA playlist? Here are my suggestions for some tunes that no self-respecting DBA should be without. Please feel free to submit your own!

The photograph above shows the interior of an Alabama church. An ornately carved organ stands out amid otherwise spartan furnishings; a small sign details the awarding of points for "Attendance", "Bible Brought" and "Offering". Walker Evans took the photo in 1936 while travelling in the South with his friend James Agee, who was reporting for Fortune magazine on the lives of tenant farmers. Evans's unvarnished portraits of labourers, store owners and children became famous as images of a Depression-struck America but he was also preoccupied with institutions – from churches to barber shops. New York's Museum of Modern Art celebrates the 75th anniversary of Evans's landmark American Photographs exhibition of 1938 with an installation of 60 prints which runs to January 25.

At Memorial
What is eduroam?
Eduroam (education roaming) is a wireless service that allows students, staff and faculty to use their own home institution's wireless credentials to access wireless network services when visiting any other eduroam affiliated institution without having to set up a guest account.
It is strongly recommended that Memorial University users wishing to avail of the this service have their laptops configured and tested on the eduroam network here at Memorial before they travel.
- Set it up once at your institution, and it will work at any other eduroam member institution in the world!
Memorial Users - Configuring eduroam on your device
Any Memorial University student, faculty or staff wishing to use eduroam when traveling should configure their device prior to leaving.
Setup of a device for eduroam follows the normal wireless setup with the following slight modifications:
use "eduroam" for the SSID (also known as the network name)
- include the domain name in the username field (such as email@example.com) when logging into the eduroam service at another affiliated campus. This is required for your device to be successfully recognized
- Once set up, the eduroam SSID will work on our campus, however Memorial users are encouraged to use the normal stu or fac networks while at MUN, as they are the primary network(s) on campus and do not have the limitations/restrictions of a guest account and are better suited for daily traffic.
- If you experience issues while attempting to access wireless service at another institution through the eduroam setup on your device, you need to contact Memorial's C&C Service Desk for assistance at 864-4595 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com . IT support services at other eduroam affiliated sites you may visit are not required under the eduroam agreement to provide major support - this is the sole responsiblity of the home institution.
Visitor Setup
Needs to be set up at your own institution prior to visiting Memorial.
For any individual visiting Memorial University, our implementation of eduroam utilizes 802.1x using either WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES on the 802.11g network standard.
Please contact your home institution for any help or support and to obtain setup instructions particular to your institution.
Also note the Wireless Networking Policy and the Appropriate Use of Computing Facilities Policy for Memorial University (you should also be aware of any such policies your home institution has in place, as they also apply).
Restrictions of eduroam
The network restrictions in place are at the discretion of the institution providing the service.
At the very minimum, eduroam provides basic network connectivity for web browsing (HTTP/HTTPS), secure shell (SSH) and VPN only.
There is no guarantee that eduroam will provide the same access to resources as the home or visited institution's standard wireless networks.
The service is currently restricted to St. John's Campus.

Don't use an ATI card. Get an Nvidia card. For best price/perf
I recommend a 7600GT. An 8600GT is too slow... anything better
that's contemporary costs too much (don't need DirectX 10 in Linux).
You can get a 7600GT for about $50 USD slightly used. Even less
if you get a 7600GS (but it's not as fast).
A 7600GT is enough to handle the most torturous 3D games available
in Linux today (UT2004, Doom 3, Quake 4, even Half Life 2+ if
you know how to make that work).
There may come a day when we'll all switch to ATI (once the FOSS
driver is working). But that looks to be at least a year or
more away. With the Nvidia, there are some working drivers from
Nvidia (proprietary), you may have to compile the kernel module (not hard).
I recommend version 100.14.19.
There are lots of problems with ATI even in Windows...
If you don't need games, then even the lower end Nvidia cards
are fine. Might even find somebody throwing away an old one.

Police: Man robs Richardson hair salon, accidentally shoots himself
Police say a man who robbed a Richardson hair salon Saturday night accidentally shot himself while fleeing.
The suspected robber arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound, soon after Venus Hair Salon reported the robbery, said Sgt. Kevin Perlich, Richardson police spokesman. Salon employees and clients told police they heard a shot fire as two robbers fled the salon.
Police are investigating the injured man, but Perlich said "there's a strong possibility that he was involved."
The two robbers entered Venus Hair Salon around 8 p.m. Saturday and demanded money and personal belongings, police say. The Richardson salon is located in the 800 block of S. Central Expressway, near Spring Valley Road. Witnesses told police one robber had a gun and the other had a knife.
After the robbery, police say an injured suspect went to Medical City Dallas Hospital with a bullet wound to the leg. The man had surgery, but does not have a life-threatening injury.
Police have not released the suspects' names or made arrests.

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet…"
— William Shakespeare
We've all heard that quote from Romeo & Juliet. It's a lovely sentiment. Really. Quite romantic and all that. But it's really only true for Shakespeare.
Most of us aren't going to have things that we've written translated into 80 different languages. If an Indonesian came to the US and asked how much a mawar cost, they'd probably get quoted the price of a Toro. A Turk might ask for a gül and get pointed toward a sea-loving bird. A German could ask about rosenstrauch, and we'd regrettably tell them that, like Guildenstern, he is dead. We'd only understand if they mentioned something that sounded a lot like 'rose.'
This is where botanical names come in. Back in the 1700s a Swedish botanist named Carl Linnaeus developed a system that categorized and classified plants based on their flowers and fruit. His system, published in 'Systema Naturae' in 1735, didn't just create a logical hierarchy for living things. It also standardized the names with a Latin base, so scientists in one part of the world could easily communicate about plants with scientists in another part of the world.
Linnaeus's system is genius in it's simplicity. It uses a method called binomial nomenclature which places a genus name first (kind of like your last name, or surname) and is followed by a unique specific epithet, which is kind of like your first name.
For example, in the case of Rosa eglanteria, "Rosa" is the genus and "eglanteria" is the specific epithet. Through the rules of binomial nomenclature, we know that every plant that has a genus of Rosa is going to be a rose.
Linnaeus took things a step further and categorized each genus (of which the plural is genera) into families, also based on similar characteristics. Now we had a way of knowing that Prunus (plums and cherries), Persica (peaches), Rubus (blackberry), and Pyrus (pears) were all related to Rosa. In this case, they were put into a family called Rosaceae, or the rose family, along with ninety other genera.
Linnaeus often said that his system was man's attempt to classify God's creations, but didn't necessarily reflect the deeper relationships between living things that he believed existed. He stated this simply, saying "God created, Linnaeus organized." It was an insightful comment, and prescient. It turns out that others like to organize too, and not always in the same way.
As the Linnaean system gained traction, botanists began reclassifying plants. They'd study something and decide that a plant really belonged in another genus, it would get renamed, and then the same thing would happen again later. Pseudotsuga menziesii, the douglasfir, was given almost twenty names over the years, including Pinus taxifolia and Abies douglasii. Different naming philosophies emerged, and Charles Darwin observed in 1857 that some botanists were "lumping" (putting similar plants under the same name) and some "splitting" (every difference resulted in a new, unique name).
The naming was getting out-of-hand and hard to keep track of, so an International Botanical Congress was formed in 1867 to try and restore order. Unfortunately, it wasn't enforced and the chaos continued until 1905, when the International Botanical Conference of Vienna was formed. This helped offer guidelines to botanists, but it wasn't really until 1930 that a standard was fully agreed upon and adhered to.
Over the years botanists debated and argued, but at least there was a process and an authority to abide by. However, in the 1980s things changed drastically. Technological advances gave scientists the first opportunities to sequence the DNA of plants, and in some cases what they found was shocking to the botanical community. Plants that were previously thought to have nothing in common ended up being closely related, or in other cases the opposite was true. Look at the milkweed family — after sequencing, it was discovered that milkweeds actually belonged in the dogbane family, despite their different appearances.
DNA sequencing is both exciting and scary at the same time. It's turning the taxonomic world on its head, and things are being reclassified with increasing frequency.
With all of these changes, the problem most people now have is figuring out who is authoritative for naming. We see so many variations, and inevitably someone will pipe up in a hort.net thread or Facebook posting to point out that the name used is incorrect. How are people supposed to know?
I used to use the RHS Plant Finder as my guide because of their relationship with Kew Gardens and the DNA sequencing there. But they didn't really have a comprehensive, publicly available database. So instead I looked at IPNI, but again, I couldn't really download a database to work with. Everything had to be looked up online, one at a time, and their license only allowed 5000 records to be used. Then there was the USDA database which seemed to be more friendly, but it often seemed outdated. The Plant List looked really comprehensive, but they have weird usage terms that won't let you use their databases for anything commercial, pretty much ruling out all nurseries and hort.net.
I finally settled on Tropicos because it seemed to have a lot of records, was updated, and had a system that I could use to check plant names in bulk.
In the end, it's not going to be so much about who's right, but more about who has the most readily available data. It was recently reported that the definition of the word literally could now mean figuratively, literally leaving no word in the English language that means 'a literal or strict sense.' The same thing will happen with plant names. In this world where everyone can be a publisher, it's not going to be about what name is right — it's going to be about who uses it the most.

Elmo is off the hook ... for now.
Former Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash has been cleared of sexual abuse charges. The 53-year-old, who voiced the famed Muppet for decades, resigned from "Sesame Street" in 2012 after multiple men accused him of sexually abusing them more than a decade earlier.
Earlier this month the U.S. Court of Appeals threw out three of the cases, agreeing with last year's ruling by a New York judge.
"The case was dismissed because of the statute of limitations. There is no ruling on the merits," the plaintiffs' attorney Jeff Herman told People magazine. "The case against Clash on behalf of Sheldon Stephens is pending."
This month, the United States Court of Appeals dismissed the cases of three alleged victims -- Cecil Singleton, Kevin Kiadii and a man identified only by initials "S.M." -- who all claim they were sexually abused by Clash, 53, more than 10 years ago as teenagers.
A New York judge previously threw out the lawsuits in July 2013, claiming they were filed after the six-year statute of limitation had expired.
According to RadarOnline.com, the Court of Appeals said the alleged victims "failed to provide any reason why (they) were unable to discover their injuries prior to 2012," and their arguments were "without" merit, said court documents.
Clash still has to deal with Pennsylvania man Sheldon Stephens, who sued Clash in March 2013. Stephens claims Clash smoked crystal meth as he sexually abused him at age 16. Another unnamed accuser recanted his sex abuse allegations in 2012, saying he had a consensual relationship with Clash.
Clash resigned in November 2012 after 28 years of bringing to life the lovable monster.

How long have you been following the Pens and how did you become a fan?
I've been a fan of the Penguins since I was around six years old. (1996) My parents had just signed me up for floor hockey and I really got into the sport. When I was first starting out I would just watch random games on ESPN and not really pay any attention to the teams. When I wasn't playing or watching hockey, I was obsessed with animals. I'd read those Zoobooks Children''s Magazines all day long and at the time I wanted to be a Zookeeper! I was lucky enough to have my aunt take me to the zoo once a week and eventually we looked into ''adopting'' an animal. We went through the list and eventually agreed on a Penguin. The highlight of my week no longer turned into just going to the zoo, but to go see ''my'' Penguin. So one day while I was getting ready for floor hockey, my mom was listening to the radio and pointed out that they mentioned a hockey team from Pittsburgh named the Penguins. I immediately found out everything I could about the team. All of those other games on ESPN suddenly didn't matter unless it was a Penguins game. I've been a fan ever since and I've never looked back.
Who is your favorite Penguins player (past or present)?
Matt Cooke
Tell us about your favorite Penguins memory.
My favorite Penguins memory would have to be going to my first Penguins home game after fifteen years of dreaming about it. Finally being in the city was one thing, but finally being around the fans was another. The past two times I saw the Penguins were both back at home in Chicago. It's great to see the team and all but it's not nearly the same as being around a stadium full of fans cheering for the same team you are. Walking into the CONSOL Energy Center was a pretty special thing for me. With stadium being right in the middle of everything, it's an experience holding your tickets and walking into the stadium with all of the other fans. I was amazed at how beautiful the stadium was and being around everyone was great. Our seats were pretty close and it was great to see the Pens playing on their own ice for the first time in my life. I think the best and most satisfying part of all of it was finally hearing a goal horn when the Pens scored. Finally hearing the roar of the crowd and experience an entire stadium of Pens fans erupting when the puck hit the twine. I think that's when it finally set in and it felt great to be ''home.''
On a game day I usually...
Game days usually start with me checking Twitter and the Pens Report for any changes I can expect to see that night. Until about half an hour before the game, it's business as usual. Once that half an hour hits, I put on my jersey over one of two possible undershirts. Usually I'd try and mix up what jersey I'm wearing but ever since we snapped our losing streak at the beginning of the year, it's been my Matt Cooke jersey. I have to be sitting down before the anthem starts or else it''s a guaranteed loss. Once I'm sitting down, I don't get up until intermission and that''s not a superstitious thing, that's just me being lazy. Usually I'll have dinner during games and if I'm eating stuffed peppers or BBQ chicken it's a guaranteed win. Through the rest of the game I'm usually just tweeting through the game and cheering for the Pens!
Congratulations, Joseph!

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- James McMenamin is celebrating an anniversary.
Saturday marks his fifth year patrolling the waters for the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and now his mission is boating safety.
"We're trying to make sure everyone is as safe as they can be," McMenamin said.
McMenamin and two other crew members were patrolling the waters looking out for kayakers, paddle boarders, boats, and even a floating band.
"We're going to watch for other vessels on the river that come by that are perhaps going to throw up a big wake, and we're going to ask them to slow down. When they're passing the paddle boaters and kayakers they don't throw a big wake which will tip over one of those boats and someone could be injured," McMenamin said.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary will do boat inspections if they see someone doing something unsafe, and most of the time people don't even know they're doing something wrong.
"Inexperience, inattention, boats that arent properly equipped," McMenamin said.
All of those contributing factors for boating accidents. The top three in 2012 were inattention which caused 581 accidents, inexperience caused 407 accidents, and improper lookout lead to 391 accidents.
With the summer months quickly approaching, more and more people are going to be hitting the water. The Coast Guard Auxiliary said the key to being safe is having a float plan.
"When you're going out on your boat you're going to tell somebody that's ashore, where you're going, what you're doing, and when you're expected back," McMenamin said. "If you're supposed to be back at 4 o'clock and here it is 4:30 or 5, and you haven't come back yet somebody on shore needs to know that so they can call authorities and we can start a search."
The Coast Guard Auxiliary said they do courtesy inspections and if you don't pass, you won't get a penalty. They will tell you what you did wrong and come back and check again.

George Osborne Boxed in by His Own Ring-Fencing
Was the spending review too clever by half, wonders Joey Jones at Sky News? It is a fair question.
The phrase "too clever by half" is one of my favorite phrases in politics. Successful leadership requires cleverness, of course. But it is rarely enough on its own. Intellect must be accompanied by good judgment. Get the two out of kilter, excessively emphasizing an idea's intrinsic cleverness over a judgment on whether or not it is sensible and it could create problems in the future, and there you have it: "too clever by half."
This was intuitively understood by leaders such as Reagan, Truman, Lincoln, Gladstone, Thatcher and Attlee. And it still didn't save them from sometimes making mistakes. William Hague is certainly clever, but was his judgment good as leader of the opposition? The record suggests not. Anthony Eden was clever, at least as clever as Harold Macmillan. The former lacked judgment while the latter was canny as well as clever and much more successful.
George Osborne is undoubtedly clever. He has a very quick brain and oozes political intelligence. The spending review he delivered was carefully designed in difficult circumstances, an apparently cunning construction calibrated to get down the deficit while protecting health and education spending.
But the spending review has been so heavily trailed and spun that it is possible to forget that it is was built on a lopsided notion. The Westminster village has become so used to the Tory concept of ring-fencing NHS and overseas aid that its implications and consequences are rarely considered anymore.
Ring-fencing was a "clever" Osborne/Cameron idea to get their party safely through an election, after a previous idea of "sharing the proceeds of growth" foundered. It eventually became clear there wouldn't be much growth to share.
But married to the other guarantees that Cameron gave under pressure to protect various universal benefits, ring-fencing has boxed them in terribly. It means they have had to make deep cuts in areas they might not otherwise have chosen to target so severely, all because of what they were pledged to protect from even a small cut.
To make the numbers add up the welfare budget had to be raided in a hurry. Some extraordinary new cuts are emerging. I'll seek clarification, but it appears that the mobility component of disability living allowance for those living in residential care — estimated saving £60 million in 2012-13 rising to £135 million in 2013-14 — is to be restricted. Campaigners suggest it risks depriving vulnerable people of a little independence.
But fear not, in contrast the winter fuel payment survives for pensioners regardless of their income — because it was ring-fenced by David Cameron. Many affluent over-60s will continue to bank £250 from the taxpayer every winter, which the wealthiest can then spend on a case of wine, dinner with friends or Christmas presents for their grandchildren.
Meanwhile, Britain will have aircraft carriers without planes for almost a decade because defense of the realm was not protected in the spending review. But free bus passes for pensioners regardless of income are seemingly sacrosanct. I haven't even mentioned the rises in the overseas aid budget.
Thus, over-investment in an idea that might have sounded "clever" at the time, ring-fencing the NHS and overseas aid, seems to have resulted in consequences that don't look particularly sensible.

Crazy new extreme sport: Human Water Catapult
Welcome to the future of extreme sport… The human water catapult.
The pursuit involves people being flung 50 feet into the sky from a giant airbed and performing a series of acrobatic moves before crashing into water.
The competitor's launch is initiated by two adrenaline junkies leaping off a boat onto the other end of the airbed.
It's an exhilarating combination of events which generates rather amusing results as the above video highlights.
While still in its early stages, it won't be long before judges are roped in, aerial routines are perfected and it earns official sport status.
It's only a matter of time before holiday thrill seekers trade jet skis for the water trebuchet. And why not? It looks incredible...
What do you think: can you see the likes of British Olympic diver Tom Daley taking on the human water catapult and helping to make it the next big sport? Post your thoughts below...

Utne Media Awards, Nominations
2013 marks a new chapter in the 24-year history of the Utne Reader staff recognizing and celebrating the best of what we read. Formerly called the Utne Independent Press Awards, we've decided to contemporize the name and call them the Utne Media Awards.
Considering the wealth of amazing new ideas, exceptional writing, and outstanding journalism taking place on the internet, we think it's time the name of the award encompass every form of mass communication we come across each day from longform print journalism to video blogs. While we still love and will always celebrate the printed word, we'd be remiss not to recognize the democratization of information made possible by the internet. We think emphasizing the broad term "media" allows us to appropriately consider and recognize all of the ways people communicate with one another in the 21st century.
Of course, the best way to make that point is to simply refer you to the list of 36 nominees for the 2013 award, most of which have been featured in the pages of Utne Reader in one way or another over the last year. As has always been the case with this award, the selection process is arduous and sometimes even a bit contentious, but only because the staff wishes we could find a way to recognize every one of our favorites.
The winners in each category will be announced at the Magazine Publishers of America's Independent Magazine Media Conference in New Orleans in May and published in our July/August 2013 issue. To all the publications and websites nominated, congratulations on yet another year of inspirational work. So without further delay, here are the nominees:
Want to gain a fresh perspective? Read stories that matter? Feel optimistic about the future? It's all here! Utne Reader offers provocative writing from diverse perspectives, insightful analysis of art and media, down-to-earth news and in-depth coverage of eye-opening issues that affect your life.

Chelsea opened the interview by congratulating Piers on his new gig because it's a "Step up from America's Got Talent." From there, it continued to the eventual discussion of being replaced by David Hasselhoff and 50 Cent.
So, who is Piers' dream-guest? Chelsea's rumored-boyfriend 50 Cent (or as he put it, 50 Half-Dollar.) All in good fun, though!

US Senators in Augusta
News 12 has confirmed the US Senate committee on veterans affairs is coming to Augusta.
The committee will hold a field hearing at Augusta's Uptown VA Medical Center, highlighting the nation's only active duty rehab within a VA.
The senate passed a Wounded Warrior bill recently calling for collaboration between the Department of Defense and the VA, something that's already happening in Augusta.
Broun sworn in
It was a big day in Washington for Dr. Paul Broun. He was sworn in as Georgia's newest Congressman in the US House of Representatives.
Broun was surrounded by members of Georgia's legislative delegation as House speaker Nancy Pelosi read him the oath.
Broun, a Republican from the Athens area, defeated former state Senator Jim Whitehead of Evans by fewer than 400 votes.
House members applauded at the mention of Charlie Norwood's name, the late Congressman from Augusta who was also a doctor.

Mark It In Your Calendars: Earnings Surprise Ahead in January
Is it too soon to talk about fourth-quarter earnings? I know, I know. The paint is barely dry on Q3 — another expectations-topping quarter, the tenth in a row — but the earnings folks over at Brown Brothers Harriman are already thinking ahead to Jan. 9, 2012, when Alcoa gets things going on Q4 earnings. And by their reckoning, we're due for another nice earnings "surprise."
How do they know? Because as analysts have responded to the parade of third-quarter earnings announcers, many of them have continued to ratchet down their Q4 expectations, even as companies clearly proved their mettle in Q3. (See accompanying chart.) That gives companies a nice, low bar to step over come mid-January.
Maulin Thaker of BBH adds: "Although not shown in the chart, this phenomenon remains true for not only 4Q11, but also for [full-year 2012] estimates . In our view, 4Q cuts are being overdone, which is a likely set up for another round of usual upside surprises." Keep in mind, too, that seasonally speaking, fourth quarters tend to be generally good quarters for company earnings. Add it all up, and you may as well pencil that nice earnings rally into your calendar now. The only question is: if we know in November that it's happening, is it still a surprise?

Leslie Thomas "Les" Pattinson (born 18 April 1958[1] in Ormskirk, Lancashire) is an English musician, best known for his work as the bassist and co-writer with the Liverpool-based band, Echo & the Bunnymen,[1] along with vocalist Ian McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant. He was raised in Aughton, Lancashire and attended nearby Deyes High School in Maghull, where he became friends with classmate Will Sergeant.[2][3]
Pattinson met up with Will Sergeant again in 1977 at the legendary Eric's Club in Liverpool. They were both regulars of the Eric's crowd, attending the club several times a week. Pattinson called himself 'Jeff Lovestone' and formed a band called The Jeffs,[4] in which all the members were called 'Jeff'. He later formed another imaginary band called 'The Love Pastels' which consisted of lots of girls, all on vocals, and himself on vocals and bass. He also read poetry and bent neon lights on stage, going by the name of 'Neon Poet'. The poem 'Sand Man' that later appeared in the song 'Over The Wall' came from the 'Neon Poet' era.
During the early days at Eric's, Pattinson and Sergeant had befriended Ian McCulloch, another Eric's regular, who'd been in various bands which had rehearsed but not gigged. Sergeant and McCulloch began hanging out together and formed a band called Echo and the Bunnymen. They were offered a spot playing at Eric's alongside another Liverpool based band that had formed out of the Eric's crowd, called The Teardrop Explodes. Three days before their first show, Pattinson was asked to join Echo and the Bunnymen, despite having never previously played the bass.[5] He'd bought a cheap Grant bass for £40 with only 3 strings. He would later replace that with the blue Fender Jazz Bass that he still uses.
Echo and the Bunnymen were now a 3 piece band with a drum machine, consisting of Sergeant on guitar, Pattinson on bass, and McCulloch on vocals. They played their debut show on 15 November 1978, at Eric's. Although the gig was short, it was received very enthusiastically. Bill Drummond and David Balfe, of Zoo Records, were in attendance that night and signed the band to the label. They were later signed to Korova, on the major label Sire/WEA. In 1979 Echo and the Bunnymen replaced their drum machine for drummer, Pete de Freitas.
Over the next several years Pattinson helped write many of the band's Top 20 hits, such as 'The Cutter', 'The Back of Love', 'Never Stop', 'The Killing Moon' and 'Seven Seas', and also 'Lips Like Sugar', 'Bring on the Dancing Horses', and 'Silver', which made the Top 40. 'The Killing Moon' would appear in the opening credits of the 2001 Richard Kelley film, 'Donnie Darko', and would later be used in an Audi commercial to be shown during the 2012 Super Bowl Game in America. In 1987 they recorded a cover of 'People Are Strange' by The Doors for the soundtrack to 'The Lost Boys' film. The song was produced by Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for The Doors. He also played keyboards on the track as well. Manzarek would later perform the song live on stage with The Bunnymen in New York during their subsequent tour.
After five studio albums, McCulloch left The Bunnymen in 1988 to pursue a solo career. The three remaining members decided to continue working under the name 'Echo and the Bunnymen' and brought in ex – St. Vitus Dance vocalist, Noel Burke, to replace McCulloch.[6] After De Freitas' death in a motorcycle accident in 1989, Pattinson and Sergeant added percussionist Damon Reece, (who later joined former Spacemen 3 principal Jason Pierce's new band, Spiritualized, as drummer); and Jake Brockman, keyboardist and long time friend of the band, to continue with the recording of their album, 'Reverberation', which was released in December 1990. The band later formed their own label called Euphoric Records and released another two singles, and had also done several international tours, before disbanding in 1993.
In 1994, Pattinson was approached by Terry Hall, ex lead singer of The Specials, to play bass on his critically acclaimed debut solo album entitled 'Home'. At the time Pattinson had set up a sandblasting business and at first thought the call was from someone who wanted their home sandblasted.[7] Pattinson also played bass for Hall's coinciding European tour.
Meanwhile, Sergeant and McCulloch had been working together again under the name Electrafixion. In 1996 they disbanded and reformed Echo and the Bunnymen. Pattinson agreed to rejoin the band. Together, they co-wrote The Bunnymen's seventh studio album entitled 'Evergreen'. Released in July 1997, the album was greeted enthusiastically by both the public and critics, and reached number 8 in the UK charts. The single 'Nothing Lasts Forever' also reached number 8 in the UK charts. In 1998 Echo and the Bunnymen teamed up with the Spice Girls and members of Blur as 'England United' to release the official song of the FIFA World Cup – '(How Does It Feel To Be) On Top of the World'.
Despite the band's successful return to the live arena, Pattinson decided to leave Echo and the Bunnymen in 1998 for personal reasons.
In 2009, Pattinson was asked by lifelong friend, Paul Simpson, to play bass for the newly reunited Liverpudlian '80s band, The Wild Swans. They performed two shows at the Static Gallery in Liverpool in July of that year, and another in December. Pattinson also featured on The Wild Swans' album, 'The Coldest Winter for a Hundred Years', which was released in the summer of 2011, followed by a tour of the UK and the Philippines,[8] where they also performed live for a special appearance on the 'Eat Bulaga!' television show.
Pattinson is still a member of The Wild Swans, and is also a busy session musician.
In 2013 Pattinson and Will Sergeant, guitarist with Echo & the Bunnymen, formed "Poltergeist" with former Black Velvets drummer Nick Kilroe. They have been playing live and released an album called "Your Mind Is A Box (Let Us Fill It With Wonder)" in June 2013.[9]
Playing style[edit]
Pattinson is self-taught, drawing heavily from sixties film and television theme tunes and soundtracks. Lounge and Psychedelic music were also a big influence on his playing style. His playing style ranged from pulsating-looped bass lines like in "Over The Wall" and "All In Your Mind" to playing in the higher register of the neck like in "Bring On The Dancing Horses" and "Heaven Up Here" to strumming 16th-notes in "Nocturnal Me" and "The Back of Love". Throughout his playing career, Pattinson has always favoured a blue Fender Jazz Bass and later an Olympic White Fender Jazz Bass, playing mostly through an Ampeg 1×15" combo amp in his early career and an SVT head with an 8X10 cabinet in his later career. This equipment and playing style gave a distinctive sound to Echo and The Bunnymen. Pattinson has always played with a pick.

'The Killing Moon' was featured in the films Grosse Pointe Blank and Donnie Darko, and in Series 2, Episode 4 of the E4 series Misfits. A cover version of The Doors song 'People Are Strange' was on The Lost Boys soundtrack.

The Town of Wales has entered into negotiations with the Town of Holland to have Holland take over dog control duties from the current Wales provider, the Town of Aurora. Wales Supervisor Rickey Venditti said he has not heard from Holland on its final decision.
Venditti said the terms offered by Wales are similar to the ones that Wales had with Aurora, a lump sum plus mileage.
Aurora had notified Wales in January that it no longer was feasible for Aurora to continue the contract because the employee doing the work is being transferred to a different department. The Town of Aurora has assured Wales it would continue the dog control for Wales until the end of December.
Aurora has performed the dog control for Wales since 2009. Ronald Bennett, town attorney for Wales is also attorney for Holland.
On another issue, the Wales Town Board passed a resolution supporting a resolution that the Town of Lancaster is submitting to Erie County that could affect negotiations between the towns and Erie County on who pays the towns to remove snow from county-owned roads within the town borders.
The county pays the towns per lane mile for the plowing, which the county has neither the manpower nor equipment to do.
According to Venditti the county is offering a half percent increase to the towns and the negotiations are not going well.
In another matter, the Walkway Committee will hold an informal meeting with interested residents at 7 p.m. July 31 at the main shelter in the Town Park.
Susan Everett, head of the committee, said it is to be an exchange of ideas regarding the trail to benefit walkers and bikers. Free ice cream will be offered. A preview walk by committee members will begin at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to bring lawn chairs or blankets to the meeting.

Many people may not buy their lifetime hunting and fishing licenses this year with the fear of not being able to use them in the future.
If a National Park comes to our area, licenses may no longer be allowed. This could cause the DNR to lose a lot more revenue, plus discourage senior citizens from buying their one-time license. This comes at a time when the DNR says they need $2 million just to stay afloat. This does not include their daily operations and expenses.
The Legislature needs to take a hard look at this national park proposal and the effects it could have on the economy.

Sens. Joel Anderson of Alpine, Steve Knight of Palmdale and Andy Vidak of Hanford sent a letter to Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg calling for the ouster of Sen. Roderick Wright.
Wright could face more than eight years in prison at his March 12 sentencing after a Los Angeles County jury found him guilty of voter fraud and perjury last week.
Steinberg, a Democrat, recommended that Wright be allowed to retain his seat until a judge enters a formal conviction. That could be delayed if an appeals court stays the lower court's decision.
"The fact remains that felony convictions have been handed down from a jury upon a member of the Senate," the three Republicans said in a letter on Knight's official letterhead. "Whether an appeal is granted by a judge or not is irrelevant to the fact that a vote of this body should be granted by leadership and/or a forthright effort to the Senator requesting his resignation."
A spokeswoman for Wright, Jennifer Hanson, said she could not comment. Wright's attorney previously said the senator plans an appeal, but he cannot act until the judge formally accepts last week's jury's verdict.
"As I have stated before, I believe that it is premature for this body to act before the verdict is accepted by the judge," Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in a statement issued in response to the GOP letter.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, last week agreed with Steinberg's decision to let Wright remain in office but give up his committee chairmanships.
"The Senate will be able to make more informed decisions once the sentencing process is completed in March," Huff said in a statement at the time.
Huff did not comment Tuesday on the letter sent by his fellow Republicans.
Wright was convicted of fraud by professing to have moved into an Inglewood property he owned so he could run in 2008 to represent the 25th Senate District. Jurors found that Wright actually lived outside the district. Because of redistricting, he currently represents the 35th Senate District.
Meanwhile, a former chairman of the state's campaign watchdog commission who is now running for secretary of state called on two Democratic rivals to lead efforts to expel Wright from the Senate.
Dan Schnur, a former Republican operative who is running as an independent, sent a letter to Sens. Alex Padilla of Los Angeles and Leland Yee of San Francisco noting that secretary of state oversees elections and campaign-finance reporting.
"The spectacle of a convicted felon continuing to serve in the state legislature is precisely the wrong way to demonstrate to the people of California that their elected officials can be trusted to behave in an ethical and accountable manner," wrote Schnur, who previously was chairman of the California Fair Political Practices Commission. "Without action on the part of you and your fellow senators, voters now have every reason to suspect that partisan and political allegiances are more important than honoring the rule of law."
Yee said in a statement that it is his responsibility to consider Wright's future "in a measured and thoughtful manner, rather than using it as a publicity stunt." He supported Steinberg's recommendation to wait until the conviction is final.
Padilla's spokesman did not return numerous messages.
"It's not the Legislature's place to comment on campaigning, electioneering issues," said Rhys Williams, a spokesman for Steinberg.
