MUMBAI: The case of Jet Airways' pilots going on sick leave has affected the airline's services in the most severe manner. Starting September 8, when around 360 pilots did not report for work, the strike on Saturday entered its fifth day. Jet has 760 pilots on its rolls. To date, over 800 flights of the airline have been cancelled.
The story unfolded after two Jet Airways pilots were sacked. This was on account of their role in forming the National Aviators' Guild (NAG), a union for Jet's pilots.

Romney Wins Utah With Help From Friends
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
If he couldn't make it here, he couldn't make it anywhere. Mitt Romney is the winner in the Utah Republican primary tonight, in one of the more predictable victories in any of the 24 Super Tuesday nominating contests.
Romney's ties to the state run deep. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University; he played a highly publicized role in salvaging the scandal-ridden 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City; plus, he's a Mormon.
While the former Massachusetts governor's faith has been a flashpoint in his campaign, it was perhaps one of his strongest assets in Utah, where more than 60% of the state's residents share his faith.
Exit poll data shows Romney swept voters across the board, handily winning every social, economic, and generational demographic in the state, as well as 94% of all Mormon voters.
With established support, Romney spent little time campaigning in the state, but he did make a stop in the state last Saturday to attend funeral services for the late president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon Hinckley.
Utah has 36 delegates at stake, although it is unlikely to significantly help Romney's bid. It is only the second contest he has won yet this evening, compared to five for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and six so far for front-runner Sen. John McCain.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Barack Obama landed a victory here as well. Democrats have 23 delegates up for grabs in Utah.

To Brooklyn Bridge
by Hart Crane
Analysis: Tough-o-Meter
(8) Snow Line
If not for the talk of cars and elevators, you could be forgiven for thinking this poem was written way before the 20th century. Crane goes nuts with the fancy words, old-fashioned speech, and references to things your great-grandparents probably don't even remember, like acetylene lamps. So, yes, this is quite a hard poem, and you might only catch half of what's going on in the first few readings. But it's not an impossible poem, and Crane never meant for you to treat it like a formal logic puzzle. He's more concerned with atmosphere and his crazy metaphors. You should definitely make use of Shmoop's "Line-By-Line Summary" as your Sherpa up this mountain.

Local Sports
Blue Devils Baseball Up And Running
It's been a very good
start to the season for Mitch Koester and the Kaskaskia College Blue Devils
baseball team as they are in the middle of their season opening trip through
Mississippi with a 3-1 record.
The season started
with a seven-inning, wild 13-12 loss to Copia Lincoln in the first of two games
that KC played in Wesson, MS. In the
loss, KC flashed signs of what could be with their offense. Hopkinsville, Kentucky native Jarrod Perry
went 2-2 with a double and a triple.
Dennon Koziol of Hamilton, Ontario finished 2-5 with a double and 2
RBIs. Walther Lutheran grad Chris
Stevens scored 3 runs and drove in one as well.
Windsor High's Kyle Floyd had a double and RBI while Landin Diaz of
Liberty HS in Kissimmee, Florida finished a 2-3 day with a RBI.
The second game, KC
handed the ball to potential ace freshman and Effingham grad Nick
Gardewine. The right-hander struck out
10 in six-innings of work and allowed just five hits as KC exploded for a 9-1
victory over Mississippi Delta Community College.
Offensively in the
game, Stevens stayed hot blasting a 3-run homer and added another RBI later in
the game, Perry was 2-4 with two doubles and three runs scored, Diaz had
another 3 hits for and an RBI while Walther Lutheran grad Josh Galvan had a
double and 2RBI in the win.
KC then swept the 7th
ranked team in Division 2 baseball Hinds 6-4 and 9-2 with Mt Zion's Steven
Reynolds picking up the win in the second game.
The Blue Devils have
several young, dynamic arms which could lead to a very deep staff and
successful run by the time the Region 24 Tournament opens up at the end of the
season. However for coach Koester, he
only focuses on what's ahead.
The Devils will
remain in Mississippi with two games on Saturday in Decatur, MS versus East
Central and Lawson State Community College before traveling to Meridian to take
on the hosts. After that KC will return
to the midwest with a game on March 2nd at Vincennes before opening up their
home schedule on March 5th with a double header against St Charles Community
College starting with first-pitch at 1pm.

On the second occasion, actually returned to the salon less than two weeks after the root touch-up to show her how the color was gone at the roots where she had applied it. She told me to schedule another appointment and she would see what she could do.
Upon arrival of scheduled appointment, she told me that the grey roots were just re-growth. I reminded her that she just applied the color only 2 weeks prior. I reminded her also that this same thing happened on the prior application. She and her supervisor were adamant that this was regrowth (despite the fact that it had been only 2 weeks since last application).
The correct thing to have done was for them to admit that the color they had been using simply was not penetrating the hair or
staying on. Then they should have worked to come up with a color product, or color mix ratio that would last at least 4 weeks. Instead they tried to shift the blame on me by saying it is regrowth. A 1/2" regrowth does not occur in just 10-14 days.

2 weeks = regrowth
AUTHOR: Chloe - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 16, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, October 16, 2013
I have been a hairstylist for 18 years and I can tell you that in 4 weeks the average regrowth is a half inch. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less depending on your rate of growth. That means that in 2 weeks you will have approximately a 1/4 inch root. If you color your hair substantially darker than your natural color/grey the grey hair or natural color will be much more noticeable as well.

Root Canal Therapy
If your tooth has been significantly damaged through decay, trauma or a fracture there may have been damage to the pulp of the tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue component of the tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels that lie within canals in the roots of the tooth.
When the pulp cannot repair itself from disease or injury it becomes inflamed or infected. In such circumstances root canal therapy is required to save the tooth.
Root canal therapy involves accessing the pulp of the tooth and gently removing it with specially designed instruments. The canals the pulp once occupied are then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being filled with a bio-compatible material called gutta-percha. For your comfort, the whole process is carried out under local anaesthesia.
Root canal therapy has a high rate of success and restores the tooth to function. Before it was developed, the only other option was to extract such problematic teeth.
After treatment is complete, the tooth will need a permanent restoration, often a crown.

Carl Douglas could have been thinking of the UAE when he sang "Everybody was kung fu fighting." This country seems to have found a new way to stay fit. With Abu Dhabi hosting the World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship in April and Fox TV's first all-Arab mixed martial arts (MMA) reality TV show generating a lot of attention, it's fair to say that the world of martial arts is exploding in the UAE.
Video: Learning Aikido in Dubai
Today there are schools training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai, MMA, judo, ninjutsu, aikido, capoeira, krav maga, karate, kung fu, EBMAS (Emin Boztepe Martial Arts System), kick-boxing, tae kwon do and many more forms. Industry insiders estimate that there are around 3,000 practitioners in Abu Dhabi and another 5,000 in Dubai.
Sensei Mohammad Iqbal, a karate and kobudo teacher who operates more than 10 schools in the UAE, says that there are a number of factors behind the rapid increase in the popularity of martial arts. "As people try to combat lifestyle diseases like obesity and diabetes, they are recognising martial arts as an excellent form of all-round fitness," he says. "The training is no longer the hard, military-style regime that it once was. Modern scientific developments now make it easy for everyone at almost any age to learn martial arts."
Mohammad has witnessed a huge increase in the uptake of his classes, and it's not just big, burly blokes who are taking part. "With the way things are around the world, safety and security are growing concerns," he says. "People are sending their kids to start training early and many women are enrolling too. Once they start, they realise the many benefits of martial arts training that go well beyond the initial reasons for starting. And they get further motivated when they realise that martial arts principles can be applied so well to their daily lives too," he says.
Sensei Agrinsan Agor, an aikido teacher, has noticed a similar trend. "From personal experience, I am positive this is happening," he says. "I have seen more people enrol for my classes. Aikido is now being recognised as a non-aggressive yet dynamic form of self-defence, which attracts men and women of all ages and different nationalities."
Agrinsan believes that the patronage of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi has helped the spread of martial arts. Jiu-jitsu and MMA practitioners can count themselves in good company. The Abu Dhabi Combat Club was founded by Shaikh Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, after he was introduced to the sport during a trip to the United States.
Abdelaziz Cherigui, who is a head coach for the Arab MMA reality TV show Al Batal, credits Shaikh Tahnoun, who studied jiu-jitsu with mentor Renzo Gracie (a member of the founding family of Brazilian jiu-jitsu), with the development and implementation of UAE Jiu-Jitsu (with the support of the Ministry of Sports). "We feel the enormous work that has been done thanks to his initiative and we imagine that there is still a lot of work to do," he says.
Thabet Agha, winner of the first Al Batal, says the show was vital for him to progress. "When I initially started off at Al Batal, my motivation was purely for the platform it offered," says the Syrian. "Taking MMA from the confines of the gym and a hobby to more mainstream, it provided an opportunity for fighters like me to showcase their skills and more importantly compete. We now have a platform."
Sifu Amir, EBMAS UAE's chief instructor, remembers a time before martial arts took off here. EBMAS is a derivative of the Chinese martial art wing tzun that was developed by Turkish-American Emin Boztepe. "I started to teach in Dubai in September 2006. Back then, there were not too many places teaching other martial arts. At EBMAS UAE we teach wing tzun, kung fu and latosa escrima [Filipino martial arts].
"In the beginning it was very difficult to introduce EBMAS to new students, but in time things got much better. In the past year, besides seeing an increase in the number of students, we were also able attract new instructors and help our martial art grow. We now have 11 official instructors in our organisation."
As the UAE's population grows and the cultural mix gets richer, more martial arts make their way here. They have also become a good way to meet new people. Graduado Boto, an instructor of Capoeira, says, "There are many different martial arts coming to the region lately and people are very keen to try them. Most martial arts are a good way to keep fit, learn something new and socialise."
It's not hard to see the appeal of martial arts for a lot of expats keen to understand a new culture. Hungarian Mark Molnar, executive chef at Karma Café, has been training in Bujinkan ninjutsu for the past six months. "I love everything Oriental, especially Japan," he says. "I discovered that the unique traditions of this ancient martial art hold good in today's life, too. Training in this form makes a lot of sense to me as it helps me with balance, mentally, physically and even spiritually. From simple basics like correction of my posture and the optimum way to walk, to concepts like using the body as a fulcrum to disarm the opponent, the applications of this martial art to life are tremendous."
Randall Yogachandra, founder and COO of iSee Entertainment, which created Al Batal, can't see the demand for martial arts slowing down. "People are asking for more events, classes are getting filled, companies are starting to see the potential in promoting it and Arab culture is starting to really accept and understand martial arts," he says. "I can almost guarantee that any corner of the city you go to, there's a gym, and that gym offers some type of martial arts course or training."
Martial arts attract both Emiratis and expats. Gyms and clubs are going all out with promotions, and most people are more health-conscious now. But with such a large number of practitioners, how do you find a good teacher? Alexander Ivanov – a first-generation non-Chinese inheritor of wudang kung fu and fifth dan in shotokan karate, has the short answer. "Don't join schools that promise everything fast," he says. "There's no fast way."
Hassan Osman, a second-dan black belt in Bujinkan ninjutsu, adds, "If you're learning a martial art for self-defence, keep in mind that on the street no one cares what colour your belt is. Schools that say 'we're a black belt school' or 'black belt in a year' are selling you a marketing idea. They are not actually interested in developing you as a martial artist."

Mortgage from a Tax Perspective
Your parents probably complain about their mortgage a lot. And guess what? They're not alone.
Quite simply, a mortgage is a loan that people use to buy a house. Let's say that your parents found a cute house in the suburbs for $300,000. But, after saving for a long time and cashing in some investments and selling some of their Star Wars collector's items, they only had $100,000, so they borrow $200,000 from a bank to pay for the rest. That part's the mortgage.
Getting a mortgage isn't like getting a credit card or car loan, though. The government wants people to buy houses, so they make the interest on mortgages a deductible.
What's a Deductible?
A deductible is something that your parents can subtract from their income when they're filing their taxes so that they pay less in taxes.
Let's say that your parents make $120,000. They pay about 20% in income taxes; we're dealing with graduated taxes, so your folks pay 0% for the first $10,000 they earn, 10% or so for the next $10,000-$20,000, 15% for $20,000-$35,000, and so on (the exact numbers change because the government likes to switch things up like that). But the average is 20% over the entire amount earned per year. That means that they should expect to pay $24,000 in income taxes to keep Washington, D.C. humming along.
But they do have that mortgage for $200,000. They pay 6% interest on it, which means that they pay $12,000 (200,000 x 0.06) a year in interest on that loan. That's the deductible part. If they claim that on their tax return (and their accountant would turn a very interesting shade of red if they didn't), the government wouldn't charge them 20% on $120,000. They'd charge them 20% on $108,000 ($120,000 – $12,000). The deductible makes it seem as though they never earned that $12,000 that year, meaning that they'd only pay $21,600 in taxes.
That house is saving them $2,400 in taxes each year. That means, instead of costing them $12,000/year the mortgage interest cost them $9,600. If they were really rich, they'd save even more because they'd be in a higher tax bracket and probably dealing with higher mortgages and interest rates.
Bottom line: it pays to own a house. (But, uh, it also costs.)
P.S. You know what else is a deductible? You. Yep, your parents can deduct you from their taxes. Of course, they're shelling out more than you can imagine to raise you, so don't say "you're welcome" quite yet.

The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
A group of scientists have discovered two genetic markers that appear to put smokers at a higher risk of developing COPD. "We believe that smokers who have these two SNPs face a nearly two-fold increase in risk of developing COPD, when compared with those who do not have these gene variants," says David Goldstein, Ph.D., at Duke Medical Center and the senior author of the study appearing in PLoS Genetics.
"We also believe that these two alterations directly affect how the lungs function and that they may actually mediate the risk of developing COPD." Both the SNPs were located near a nicotine receptor on chromosome 15, which has already been associated with lung cancer and other respiratory disorders, the team reports.
Additionally, they did not find any association between the variants and number of cigarettes smoked, reinforcing the notion that these mutations' influence risk independent of smoking behavior.
Until now, there has only been one biological marker associated with COPD: a deficit of the protein A1AT, according to the researchers. "But we know that A1AT deficiency appears in only one to two percent of people with COPD, so we were pretty sure that there had to be other genetic variants at work as well," says Dr. Goldstein.
The team started by examining the genomes of 823 people with COPD and 810 smokers without COPD in Norway. They were looking for the presence of the 100 top genetic variations already documented in individuals with COPD enrolled in the family-based International COPD Genetics Network (ICGN). They then took the most frequently occurring alterations from that study and evaluated them in three additional, independent groups: patients in the U.S. National Emphysema Treatment Trial, individuals enrolled in the Boston Early-Onset COPD study, and a control group from the Normative Aging Study.
Duke and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) funded the study. Goldstein is a paid consultant for GSK, which has a smoking cessation therapy in Phase II trials. Other investigators on this study came from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Bergen, the Genetics Research Institute, Munich, the Ullevaal University Hospital, the University of Nebraska, the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, and the ICGN team.

LAFAYETTE -- Dr. Gordon Frankie said native bees have preferences, and knowing what they like can improve the health of your garden.
"If they have a choice, they'll go after native plants," said Frankie, a professor and research entomologist at UC Berkeley. He and Steve Gentry, a founding member of the Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association, teamed up for a recent Lafayette Library Foundation Science Cafe presentation.
Frankie's point -- that local gardeners hoping to attract Agapostemon texanus or Xylocopa varipuncta, two local native bee species, should include native plants in their gardening plans. And mulching should be done lightly because 70 percent of all native bees nest in the ground and can't burrow through materials heavier than soil.
A project at Frog Hollow Farm and other Brentwood farms is demonstrating the impact of placing native plants between crop rows.
Urban areas are ideal for bees, Frankie claimed, because of the diverse food supply they offer. The Oxford Tract Bee Garden he and his team of researchers planted allows them to monitor and categorize bees' attraction to native and nonnative plants. A 10-city survey across California is providing a detailed picture of the bee population. San Diego, he said, is the worst city for attracting bees.
"It's their gardening culture: No one is using diverse, floral plants," Frankie said.
On the other end of the spectrum, a 30-by-30-foot garden in Ukiah had 68 bee species, and Santa Cruz is a hotbed beehive community. (The Bay Area is fifth on that list.)
Gentry, known by local residents as "Bee Man" -- although he is considering an upgrade to "Emperor of Bees" -- began the popular event's 60-minute talk with a bucket.
"All of these products from bees are helpful to humans," he declared, pulling hunks of beeswax and jars of honey, pollen and actual bees from the container. "Their history goes back thousands of years."
Within five minutes, Gentry had advocated (beeswax is used for lubricants in cosmetics, candles, wax-resist dyeing and food preserving), acknowledged ("We have some hindrance about eating insects, but watch a bear break into a bee's nest. He'll eat the whole thing," he said), and advertised (pollen is the new superfood, with protein, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, according to Gentry).
He also shared a 30-year-old epiphany he had while watching a black bear and her two cubs demolish a rotted tree while feasting on termites.
"I wasn't the first person to see natural things. Forty thousand years ago, hunter-gatherers watched bears, bees and insects, too. The timeline is long," he said.
Skipping through honeybee history, from Middle Eastern origins to monks in monasteries needing dependable light sources to small farmers before World War I who kept just enough hives to feed their families and pollinate their crops, Gentry landed on the contemporary world's bee dilemmas.
"Industrialization changed farms. They became bigger, and now, large pollination contracts and commercial beekeeping are driving the business. (More than a million) hives are brought into the central Southern California valley for pollinating almonds each year."
Frankie, whose business is less about keeping bees and more about watching them, asked the Science Cafe audience of gardeners, beekeepers and general science fans a series of questions.
Delighting at stumping his listeners, he said 1,600 bee species were attracted to California's 5,000 flowering plants, drawing a hefty percentage of the United States' 4,000 total bee species.
"Notice, you are not on their list," he said. "Bees are vegetarians. They're not after you or your burgers. Wasps are the 'meat bees' after your burgers."
Generating a local buzz
The University of California Press will publish Gordon Frankie's findings in a forthcoming book, "Native Bees and Their Flowers in Urban California Gardens." Bee appreciators who don't want to wait can find information at http://nature.berkeley.edu/urbanbeegardens/index.html and www.diablobees.org.

Bats General FAQs - 14 Found
Are bats blind?
No. Bats have small eyes that are functional and sensitive to light. Several bats, such as Rafinesque's and Townsend's big-eared bats, have greatly enlarged ears to help in echolocation, but bats also use sight to perceive their environment.

The Hamptons Corporate Jet Set
It's a summer Friday, which means a certain type of leisure-seeking New Yorker is preparing to set off for the traffic jam on the Long Island Expressway, en route to the Hamptons. But what about the sliver of the Hamptons crowd that can afford to bypass the chronically congested roadways on corporate-owned private jets?
To find out who makes up the corporate jet set in the skies above Long Island, we turned to The Journal's recently launched "Jet Tracker" database, which contains records of nearly every every private jet flight in the U.S. between 2007 and 2010. The results revealed thousands of corporate jet trips into East Hampton Airport and Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach.
The most frequent flier is a jet owned by the Cleveland Browns, with 390 trips to East Hampton in the four-year period examined by The Journal. Randy Lerner, owner of the National Football League team, maintains a large estate in Amagansett Lanes. More than 60 of the flights by the Browns-owned plane that landed in East Hampton originated from either New York's LaGuardia or Teterboro in New Jersey — a pricey way to travel a fairly short distance.
With 84 flights, musician Jimmy Buffett's Sails in Concert company ranked near the top of the Hamptons corporate-jet charts. Three of these flights traveled from one Hamptons airport to the other. Flying to the Hamptons in Buffett style is available to the masses, too: Fly the Whale, a charter company, purchased one of Buffett's seaplanes and offers 40-minute one-way flights to the Hamptons priced between $99 and $495.
A plane owned by Eli's Bread, part of the Zabar's empire, made 34 Hamptons flights. Eli Zabar, the youngest brother in the family of gourmet grocers, runs the Amagansett Farmers Market.
Who else flies the Hamptons skies? Many of the most frequent flights, excluding charter operators, are undertaken by financial firms and big companies, including:
- 133 flights by AMPCO, a toilet manufacturer
- 83 flights by a plane owned by PNC Financial Services
- 32 flights by construction-services provider Danella Companies
- 29 flights by Thomas H. Lee Capital Partners, a Boston-based private-equity firm
- 26 flights by technology company NCR Corp.

Mystery over missing swimmer
Mystery over missing swimmer
Police are continuing to make enquiries as part of the search for a person at Whiritoa beach, between Whangamata and Waihi.
A person was seen entering the water off rocks at the Southern end of Whiritoa beach shortly after 5.00 p.m yesterday afternoon. The person was not seen to leave the water.
A search of the area was carried out using a coastguard vessel, surf lifesaving rescue vessels and a coastguard air patrol. Nothing was located as a result of that search.
The search phase has been scaled down today. There have been no reports of a missing person and enquiries locally have failed to confirm the circumstances.
A group of people were known to have been camping South of Whiritoa beach during the weekend and were in the area at the time the incident was reported to Police.
Police are interested in identifying and speaking to members of the group to see if they can assist in resolving the situation, either through something they may have seen or in identifying the swimmer.
Anybody with information is asked to contact Sergeant Ranger at the Whangamata Police phone 07 865 0304.

Basking in the adulatory afterglow, our new president savored a cigarette and crossed his Nike high-tops on the Resolute Desk, while crews in coveralls stabbed 130 tons of trash into black plastic bags.
Two weeks downstream of the Obamagasm on the Mall, Barack has decided to cut the White House staff some slack: He relaxed the dress code, for starters. According to The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg, Obama shows up for work around 9 a.m. " two hours later than Bush " and the Oval Office coat-and-tie rule is history.
Who slips into a suit after shooting hoops?
According to Stolberg, the Hipster in Chief has cranked up the Oval Office thermostat, too; with all those windows, and no suit coat, 68 degrees feels chilly, plus, Al Gore might swing by " after entertaining the Senate with calls for "decisive action" " and The Guru likes it warm, too.
Outside " past frosted, bulletproof panes " the cleanup continues.
Billed as the "greenest inaugural," the months-in-production Obamathon turned out to be the dirtiest and most expensive Hollywood blowout in history.
Overtime hours mounted as workers retrieved Obama mugs, Obama buttons, Obama bags and Obama postcards. Ground into the grass were Obama hats, key chains, ties, aprons, calendars, Keds shoes, mouse-pads, posters and stickers. Some of the inaugural army vendors left behind tents and tables.
Not to worry: Nancy Pelosi's "stimulus bill" includes $21 million to re-sod the National Mall " its fescue the victim of a Shaquille O'Neal-sized carbon footprint.
The swearing-in ceremony turned out to be a venue for those who paid $50,000 for "VIP treatment and access packages" " working stiffs like Stephen Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Halle Berry, Stacey Snider and Jamie Foxx.
Stars and politicians talked, while Joe the Plumber walked. "Yes we can!" became, "Not without a ticket!"
Of the quarter-million inaugural swearing-in tickets printed by the Feds (198 given to each member of the House, and 350 given to each senator) about half were parceled out by the Presidential Inaugural Committee on behalf of Obama and Biden.
If you were an inaugural witness to "Change you can believe in!" you purchased it, first, with change you could find in your wallet.
Those who didn't pony up campaign cash watched the "historic occasion" through the bunny ears of their TV sets in the projects, or from break rooms in government offices, government schools, post offices, union halls, or from sports bars frequented by plaintiffs lawyers.
If you weren't one of the 15 million Americans working for government " and were still scrambling, instead, to hold onto your job " you missed the spectacle of Bush being booed by the "post-partisan" Democrats in the front-row seats, when he stood to honor Obama.
You also missed the embarrassing cameo of a weeping Tom Brokaw, as he blubbered into his lapel-mike about "rednecks." And you missed ABC's Bill Weir delivering the first-ever, seagull mind-meld (describing, as he did, the avian "awe" experienced by gulls during Obama-crowd overflights) " just two of the many embarrassingly sappy and subjective narratives interwoven with endless aerial crowd shots.
Upwards of 10,000 ticket-holders never saw the swearing-in ceremony, because this wasn't the Super Bowl or the Olympic Games: This was a government-produced pageant. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies issued an apology on Wednesday to the thousands of trapped ticket holders frozen against metal security gates in the midst of milling, mooing chaos.
Contrast this mayhem with the private-sector-run '96 Atlanta Olympic Games that accommodated 7 million ticket holders who watched 26 different sports and 271 different events, at venues as far away as Stone Mountain, 20 miles distant from Atlanta's downtown. Ticket packages were distributed via pre-Games lottery, and if you had a ticket to a venue, you were seated.
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies wasn't on hand in Atlanta to level the playing field.
Obama's Lincoln-themed inaugural produced a Democratic Party rededicated to the proposition that all Americans should move forward, arm in arm, and united in post-partisan purpose.
Last week, in order to underscore his consensus-building efforts, President Obama issued executive orders that reinstated $400 million in aid to international groups that fund abortions, suspended trials of terrorists, and closed Guantanamo Bay.
Over on Capitol Hill, Democratic Speaker Pelosi held a press conference to announce that she "didn't come to Washington to be bipartisan."
Hitting his stride, Obama did a gig on Arab television, telling his Al-Arabiyan audience that it was his "job" to persuade Muslims that Americans are not their enemy, and, to this end, he apologized for America's dictatorial ways. If you thought the president's job was, first, to uphold and protect the Constitution, you had it wrong.
Promising to abandon the old ways of disrespect " by which reference one assumes the president was alluding to our meddling on behalf of Muslims in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghan-istan and Iraq " Obama promised to restore "the partnership that America had with the Muslim world 20 or 30 years ago."
Our 30-years-ago, Carter-era "partnership" " owing to insufficient presidential apologies " resulted in 52 U.S. diplomats spending 444 days as guests of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Inexplicably, those hostages were released on Inauguration Day, when Reagan took office.
Reagan wouldn't apologize for America, so our Muslim partnership turned to crap.
It's clear that there remains a Muslim-apology-deficit, and our Commander in Chief is putting his best foot forward in order to preempt sandal-throwing sneak attacks.
America must establish a new and conciliatory tone since " according to intelligence estimates " the Iranians will have enriched enough uranium to cobble together a crude nuclear bomb before year's end.
Obama can be firm when he needs to be: He may be extending olive branches to terrorist regimes, but Rush Limbaugh is skating on thin ice.

BAP Annual Hearing Calendar for 2016 and 2017
2016 BAP Hearing Calendar
2017 BAP Hearing Calendar
These are dates that the BAP Judges have set aside on their individual calendars for potential oral argument in BAP cases. Oral argument potentially may be held in any district in the Ninth Circuit. When and where oral argument calendars actually are held is largely controlled by where the greatest volume of cases have been briefed and are ready for oral argument. Thus, on any of the listed dates, oral argument might be held in two locations, one location, or no locations at all, depending on which cases are ready. The BAP also uses teleconference and video conference hearings to add flexibility to the calendaring process. If you have any questions about these dates, please contact the Clerk's Office at (626) 229-7225. Actual oral argument calendars are posted on the internet a few weeks before the hearing dates at http://www.bap9.uscourts.gov under "court information."

Jewish Americans Overwhelmingly Cold Toward Tea Party
June 16th, 2011
In response to reports of a new non-scientific sampling of Jewish American attitudes toward the Tea Party, J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami issued the following statement, drawing on the findings of J Street's Election Night 2010 poll of 1,000 randomly-selected Jewish Americans: "Contrary to claims that Jews are 'warming' to the Tea Party, actual scientific opinion research has shown that Jews hold deeply negative views of the Tea Party Movement and there is no evidence of any shift in the basic ideological positions or attitudes in the community as a whole," Ben-Ami said. "Despite the wishful thinking of Republican political operatives and hard-line conservatives in the Jewish community, American Jews remain a fundamentally liberal constituency, voting in 2010 as they have for decades by roughly 2-1 for the Democratic Party," he said. "They continue to identify overwhelmingly as liberal or progressive and to hold favorable views of Barack Obama." In J Street's own poll last November, the Tea Party was viewed favorably by 19 percent of American Jews and unfavorably by 71 percent. In addition, a survey by the Pew Research Center in September 2010 confirmed that only 15 percent of Jews agree with the Tea Party. "Wouldn't a more appropriate headline for the real research be 'American Jews overwhelmingly cold toward Tea Party?'" said Ben-Ami.

The skyrocketing cost of living is hitting every American. With the price of fuel making regular hops upward, the costs of food and other consumer goods are rising accordingly. And in a difficult economy, food banks experience lower donations at a time when demand increases as a result of food insecurity. Statistics show about 10 percent of American homes suffer food insecurity at least part of the time.
For individuals, one way to help cut the weekly grocery bill is to buy local produce; another is to cut back on waste.
About a quarter of our food goes to waste. In 1997, the Department of Agriculture conducted a study that said in 1995, 96.4 billion pounds of food – out of 356 billion pounds of edible food – in the United States was never eaten. (The department is in the process of updating the study.)
The Environmental Protection Agency, in a more recent study, estimates that Americans generate 30 million tons of food waste each year, with 98 percent of that ending up in landfills. When looking at yard waste, the figures switch – only 38 percent ends up in landfills, most is composted. And consider the fact that rotting food produces massive amounts of methane, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Granted, not all of that food waste would have been edible, though much if it could have been made into food for animals or recycled for other products, including compost.
There is also the matter of cost. The United States spends an estimated $1 billion a year to dispose of food waste.
World hunger and the greenhouse effect won't be eliminated if Americans cut back on the food waste, but reducing food waste would make a dent, and it wouldn't cost much in the way of money or effort. An estimate by the Department of Agriculture shows that recovering just 5 percent of wasted food would feed four million people a day. If the recovered figure goes up to 25 percent, 20 million people could be fed.
Many food rescue organizations are working to help cafeterias and restaurants dispose of unused food, such as pans of lasagna that were never served. Participating restaurants need only cover the food and, in some cases, place it in a freezer. The food is then picked up by groups such as City Harvest, which collects excess food from 170 places in New York City. A number of states and cities are offering programs for food that isn't edible, making it available to livestock farmers or composting it.
The EPA offers guides for reducing food waste on the web at www.EPA.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/reduce/wastenot.htm and www.EPA.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/reduce/food/food.htm.

World Cup notebook: Another substitute scores; Messi, Neuer among award winners
RIO DE JANEIRO — At a World Cup where substitutes have made more impact than ever, it was fitting that Mario Götze came off the bench to win it, and another replacement supplied the inch-perfect cross.
Götze's extra-time goal to beat Argentina and win the championship was the 32nd scored by a substitute in Brazil. The previous most had been 23 at the 2006 finals in Germany.
The cross for Götze's beautifully balanced winning strike came from another substitute, Andre Shürrle, who had three goals in this World Cup as a replacement.
Awards: Lionel Messi received the award for best player of the World Cup, minutes after Argentina's loss.
Germany's Manuel Neuer collected the best goalkeeper prize, James Rodriguez of Colombia got the golden boot award as top scorer and Paul Pogba of France was named best young player.
Head injuries: Germany midfielder Christoph Kramer continued playing for 14 minutes in the final after taking a heavy blow to the face in a collision with Argentina defender Ezequiel Garay.
Kramer struggled to his feet after an extended stretch on the ground, only to again slump to the ground. He was clearly disorientated when helped off the field by medical staff but returned to play shortly thereafter.
It was the latest in a series of head injuries at the World Cup that appeared to have not been properly checked.
Argentina players Javier Mascherano and Pablo Zabaleta played on in their team's semifinal against the Netherlands after sustaining head injuries. Both started the final.
Questions about FIFA's concussion protocol were first raised in the group stage when Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira refused to leave the field after being struck in the head by an England opponent's knee. Pereira appeared to be briefly unconscious but was still allowed to come back and play.
Bumps and bruises: Germany midfielder Sami Khedira was a last-minute scratch with a calf injury. … Angel Di Maria (thigh), Argentina's speedy winger, was not fit enough to start and did not play. … Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger was cut under his right eye in extra time during an aerial challenge with Sergio Aguero. … Argentina captain Lionel Messi vomited during the final, as he has done on many occasions both for Argentina and club team Barcelona. Argentina and Barcelona team doctors haven't been able to find the cause of Messi's problem.
Briefly: Götze's 113th-minute game-winner was the 171st goal of the tournament, tying the record set at France 1998. … The total attendance of 3,429,883 ranks second all-time behind the 1994 finals in the United States. The average per game attendance (53,592) is third highest, trailing the U.S. 1994 finals (68,991) and the Brazil 1950 finals (60,772).

Firefighters from around the Wiregrass fought to save a house in Headland this morning.
The 50 year old home of Carl and Nelle Johnson caught fire shortly after the couple left home around 7:30 am.
Several volunteer fire departments responded to the call and attempted to extinguish the flames.
But once the roof began to collapse, the scene was too dangerous to continue work on the inside.
The American Red Cross has offered to house the Johnson family while they wait for insurance estimates.
We'll have more on the story tonight.

Spring break was scheduled for this week, but the district needed to make up days after a number of snow closings.
Police said the 13-year-old is now likely to get a longer break than expected. He faces suspension or expulsion from the school, plus, he was charged with being delinquent by inducing panic. The crime carries a possible penalty of six-months up to age 21 in a youth detention center. If committed by an adult, the bomb threat would be considered a fourth-degree felony.
The student's name is not being released because he is a minor.
Warren Elementary Superintendent Tom Gibbs said a threatening message was left on the school's answering machine Friday. A secretary retrieved the message around 8:30 a.m. Monday because students and staff were not at the school because of the Good Friday holiday.
"We decided to play it safe and we diverted all buses and students to Warren High School," Gibbs said.
Classes at the school were scheduled to begin Monday at 9 a.m.
For nearly two hours officers, teachers and custodians searched for any evidence of a bomb at the school.
"We opened all of the lockers, went through all of the classrooms, storage rooms and outbuildings," said Detective Brian Schuck. "Faculty members assisted us by helping to identify anything that might have been out of place."
By noon Monday a student had confessed, Schuck said.
"He just thought it would be funny to call in a threat," Schuck said. "He didn't think it would go this far. It did, though. It took us two hours to sweep the school, kids were bused out to the high school, it was quite an inconvenience."
Warren Elementary School Principal Stephanie Starcher said concerned parents pulled about 100 of the 511 students out of school for the remainder of classes on Monday.
Classes resumed around 11:10 a.m.
Julie Bates, 30, of Marietta, said she decided to take home her third-grader after the threat.
"I think the school and everyone in the district does a great job of trying to keep our kids safe," Bates said. "But I just want to keep her home today to make sure she's OK and not too scared."
Gibbs said parents were notified about the threat through various media outlets. The school does not have an automated telephone notification system.
Bates said she was at work and was notified by her mother, who learned of the bomb threat through a television report.
"She was hysterical," Bates said. "And it scared me, too."
As of Monday afternoon, no court dates or school disciplinary hearings had been set for the student.
Gibbs said the bomb threat was the second in his district in two years. Last year a threat was called into Little Hocking Elementary School. He said the student responsible for that threat was identified and prosecuted in Athens County Juvenile Court.

The National Science Foundation announced that it will fund three new research institutes to help strengthen the mathematical sciences in the United States. The three new institutes will receive funds that are projected to total $24 million over the next five years. In addition, the NSF also renewed funding for the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. The new funding is in addition to the three institutes already funded by NSF: the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles; the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota; and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California.
The Mathematical Biosciences Institute at Ohio State University will focus on interdisciplinary work neuroscience, cell processes, and other biological problems. The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, will sponsor work tying together statistics, applied mathematics, and other disciplines, with a focus on data-driven and model-driven scientific challenges. Finally, the Research Conference Center of the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) in Palo Alto, California, will host research workshops on fundamental and interdisciplinary mathematical sciences.
For more on the NSF awards, see the press release at http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/02/pr0256.htm.
The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is a partnership between the National Science Foundation and the consortium of Duke University, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS). SAMSI will be housed in the NISS building in the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. SAMSI will be led by Director James O. Berger, Duke University, and Associate Directors H. Thomas Banks, North Carolina State University, Alan F. Karr, National Institute of Statistical Sciences, and J. Stephen Marron, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
SAMSI's mission is to forge a new synthesis of the statistical sciences with the applied mathematical sciences and disciplinary science to confront the very hardest and most important data- and model-driven scientific challenges. The scientific efforts at SAMSI will be organized into programs of six months to one year in duration. The 2002-2003 programs are (i) Inverse Problem Methodology In Complex Stochastic Models; (ii) Stochastic Computation; and (iii) Large-Scale Computer Models for Environmental Systems. There are numerous opportunities for participation in SAMSI activities by researchers, including postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and teachers. For additional details about SAMSI, its programs and opportunities for participation, see the web site http://www.samsi.info.
James Berger is the director of SAMSI.
There's a new NSF-funded institute devoted to mathematics. The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM), a nonprofit math institute in Palo Alto, CA, has received a $5 million grant from NSF to found the AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC), which will begin running workshops in autumn 2002.
"We are extremely gratified to have been awarded this grant," said Brian Conrey, Director of AIM. "AIM collaborations have led to some nice results as the 80 papers in our preprint series demonstrate. The recent proof of the Perfect Graph Conjecture, which followed from work started with an AIM project, also shows the power of focused collaborative research."
Whereas fifty years ago mathematical collaboration was relatively rare, today approximately half of all mathematical papers are written by multiple authors. ARCC will help develop and support collaborations by holding small, focused research workshops, with entire groups of attendees devoting themselves to a specific mathematical goal. Special attention will be devoted to facilitate collaborations which include women, underrepresented minorities, and researchers at primarily undergraduate institutions. To aid in collaboration before and after workshops, there will also be an accessible website which includes open problems and progress updates.
Workhops will be held at AIM in Palo Alto, CA for the first two years, but then the AIM Research Conference Center will move to Morgan Hill, forty miles south of Palo Alto. The ARCC buildings will be styled after the "Alhambra" in Granada, Spain, known for its mathematically intricate patterns. The new site will include a lecture hall, an extensive library, and visitor accommodations. Eventually, ARCC will hold twenty-four weeklong workshops each year, on a diverse range of topics. Up to 32 researchers will participate and be housed on-site during each workshop. The future ARCC site is adjacent to the largest state park in northern California, Henry W. Coe State Park, which has several hundred miles of hiking trails.
AIM itself has been around since 1994, when it was founded by Silicon Valley businesspeople John Fry and Steve Sorenson, to support research mathematics. John Fry received an undergraduate degree in mathematics at Santa Clara University, and was inspired by his professor and former MAA president, Gerald Alexanderson, who is chair of the board of trustees of AIM. AIM has sponsored conferences, small focused research groups, public math lectures, and math activities for local high school students. See http://www.aimath.org/ for more pictures and information about AIM and ARCC.
Helen Moore is Associate Director of the AIM Research Conference Center.
The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) at Ohio State University is to be a place for vigorous research in mathematical biology and related fields. Its goals include sponsoring the development of new "mathematical theories, statistical methods, and computational algorithms for the solution of fundamental problems in the biosciences." It will seek to involve both mathematical scientists and bioscientists in this effort and to nurture a community of scholars interested in these problems.
MBI plans to sponsor special emphasis years, workshops on topics of current interest, education programs, and research projects. During 2002-2003, the MBI will be running a program on Mathematical Neuroscience. This is to be followed by a program on Mathematical Modeling of Cell Processes during 2003-2004.

Data Mining for Overreaction in Financial Markets

We study overreaction and the cumulative effect of the consecutive local overreaction patterns in financial markets. The 'overreaction diamond' pattern [1] is one of the key components of a financial market bubble. The cumulative effect of the consecutive short term overreactions arising from the deviation of stock prices from their fundamentals can be explained by attribution theory, feedback traders, affect and representativeness theories, and reference points in investments. We study large set of financial data and propose a data mining method by exploiting the relative cumulative sentiment of the investors. This leads to a potential for the implementation of suitable algorithms and the preparation of software packages that can be useful for prediction of various stages of overreaction and bubbles.

Two years ago, Middle Smithfield Township was fined $9,500 for illegally burning spring cleanup waste, including wooden materials.
This year the township will "freecycle" collected household items to the public before taking it to a landfill.
"This way less will go into the landfill," Supervisor Annette Atkinson said. "It should save the taxpayers money."
Only township residents can drop off discarded goods at the township complex on May 2 and 3.
That Saturday, May 4, anyone can browse and take away any item they wish.
"It will be more like a swap meet," Atkinson said. "And we'll have untreated mulch for gardeners."
Area charities will have an opportunity the following Monday and Tuesday to pick up whatever is left over.
The township will charge $5 per carload, more for larger vehicles, dropped off for disposal.
Old tires will be accepted for $4 each.
Middle Smithfield will accept bulk items, furniture, toys, washers, dryers, bicycles, lawn mowers, water heaters, batteries, nails, screws and empty paint cans.
The township won't accept household garbage, construction debris or hazardous materials.

Jacques Pepin is one of America's best-known chefs. He is the author of 24 books, including a best-selling memoir, The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen. He has also hosted nine public television cooking series, the most recent of which is called More Fast Food My Way. Pepin was born in rural France and his first exposure to cooking was in his parents' restaurant, Le Pelican. He began his formal apprenticeship at the age of thirteen and went on to work in Paris as the personal chef to three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle. He moved to the United States in 1959 and studied at Columbia University. Pepin is a former columnist for The New York Times and now writes a quarterly column for Food & Wine. He received France's highest civilian honor, the French Legion of Honor, in 2004. He lives in Madison, Connecticut.
Question: Collectively, what should we be doing?
Jacques Pepin: We should open our frontier more than they are open. Even because we could benefit, as I said, from another point of view. We should invite more people. We should institute more dialogue. We should do . . . For example, one of my heroes is Bernard Kouchner. And he's the man who created doctor without frontier in 1970, '71, whatever. And he created doctor of the world as well as the co-founder of the Nobel Prize for this. Now this is a great humanitarian. He's now the French Foreign Minister under the new government. Now he knows what he did in Kosovo, and other part of the world, for the health that people have. So he will know how to get to place like this to feed the people, to organize the products so that they get to the right people. So if I could talk to one person in the world, maybe I would want to talk with him because I think it would be very exciting because he is a great humanitarian.
Question: What advice can you give young chefs?
Jacques Pepin: I would tell them do it for love, absolutely. Don't do it for anything else. Because ultimately that's what that will amount to. You have to be gratified with what you do. I mean I have the best of all possible worlds. I make a living out of something I love to do, and probably would do for free, you know? And people pay me for it, so I'm very lucky. I never regretted to be in my business; but don't do it, as I said . . . You could become famous and all that, because it may happen; but it's likely that it may not.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
It will take the troubled Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark four years to recoup its initial $65-million original investment, according to number-crunching by The New York Times.
Writing on the newspaper's Economix blog, economics editor Catherine Rampell cautions that's just a rough estimate that excludes merchandising sales — those can be lucrative for hit shows on the scale of The Lion King or Wicked — but somewhat generously assumes that 96 percent of the Foxwoods Theatre's 1,932 available seats will be sold each week.
So, yes, Rampell's calculations require some educated guesswork, but they make it clear that, even with the repeated delays, injuries and a problem-filled preview seemingly behind them, the producers of Spider-Man still have a difficult row to hoe. The combination of an established property with a visionary creative team might seem like a formula for success, but as Rampell notes, for every Lion King or Wicked there's a Little Mermaid or Shrek the Musical. The latter, which cost an estimated $24 million — until Spider-Man came along, it was the most expensive production in Broadway history — ran for slightly more than a year, before closing in January.
odds are given all the trouble the thing has gone through Dis Marvel will not give the thing the four year needed to make back just its budget if it does not bring in the dough fast Marvel will no doubt finaly drop this thing .or keep taking a hit in their pocket book letting this troubled thing contiue to try and breaks its curse
This doesn't bode well for the It's A Bird…It's a Plane…It's SUPERMAN!" revival. Just put this thing out of its misery already.
