In The Whipping Club, Irish American author Deborah Henry takes us to mid 20th century Ireland where a young woman gives up her half-Jewish son for adoption. What follows is an eye-popping catalogue of shame, mistreatment and abuse. Cahir O'Dohert talks to the author about her debut novel, which has been picked for the Oprah Winfrey Summer Reading List.
When you give away unchecked power to any group, whether it's your government, your banks or your church, get ready for unforeseen complications.
When there's no one to stand up to them, it's simply human nature for the powerful to lord it over the powerless, even when they know better, because the temptations to misbehave are just too seductive, it seems.
It's clear to most now that the Irish people gave entirely too much of their power to the church in the last century because the abuse scandals that have erupted everywhere seem like they may never come to an end, plaguing the legacy of Catholicism in Ireland.
In every parish and townland a centuries long culture of incontestable dominance gave some of the most sadistic and antisocial personality types free reign for their worst excesses. Protected by their collars or their habits, they preyed on the innocent, and then they shamed or bullied them into silence.
It's a story so shocking that we need to tell and re-tell it until we have all finally grasped its true warning.
The abuses happened because there was no one to challenge them. Bishops, priests and nuns weren't subject to the law -- they were the law. They were also the gospel, too, for good measure.
Individually you hadn't a hope against the might of the church as it stood throughout the last century. The church set the agenda for the entire country. You liked it or else you took the boat or plane.
For Irish American author Deborah Henry, the religious complications of Irish life in the last century are clearly dramatic subject matter, but the question is did she really want to kick over that hornet's nest?
The Whipping Club (T.S. Poetry Press), her debut novel about a young woman pressured into giving up her half-Jewish son for adoption, took her almost eight years to write.
"I have relatives who change the subject every time I bring up the book's subject matter," Henry tells the Irish Voice with a laugh.
"They don't seem interested. They want to look at the positive. I just decided that would not be for me. I was going to tell the truth. And anyone who does not want to look at the truth I feel sorry for."
Truth-tellers are every society's least favorite people, usually. Henry knows this, but it didn't stop her.
"What I wrote is like a fairytale compared to the actual experiences of the people I interviewed while researching the book. The people who actually went through the Industrial School system or lived in an orphanage told me stories that made my hair stand on end," Henry says.
"But art is not a retelling of atrocities. I had to find some way to up the level of the writing so that there was some beauty in the telling."
She has succeeded in her aim. Henry's debut novel is immensely assured, grabbing the reader from the first page. It's the kind of debut that publishers dream of, confident, clear and appealing to a wide audience.
Perhaps Henry's own unique background explains some of the interest the book is generating.
Her mother is a first generation Irish Catholic from the Irish enclave of Woodside in Queens, New York. Growing up she was also very close to her grandmother, who was originally from Portglenone in Co. Antrim.
Although it was a typical Irish family on the surface, her background was far from typical.
"My mother somehow met a Jewish man, which was almost unheard of in the 1950s," Henry says. "They fell in love and got married and no one came to their wedding from either side of the religious divide. On the Jewish side they thought it was horrendous of my father to bring home this blond bombshell."
It makes Henry shake her head to think that even in our own lifetime, these marriages were considered horrific.
"It's so hard to make a connection in this world, let alone fall in love. I often think it's a miracle anyone gets married," Henry says.
Half Jewish and half Irish, Henry refers to herself as bilingual.
"I went to the Irish side by marrying a nice Irish Catholic man and I've always been close to that side of me. But at the same time I was intrigued to discover there's a part of Dublin that's known as Little Jerusalem," she says.
"When I told my mom I was going to try and write a novel set there she rolled her eyes and said, 'About all two Jewish people there - all of them?'"
But Henry went over to Ireland to research, and she started to uncover uncanny similarities there to things that were occurring in her book. She knew from the beginning that it would address the history of what happened in Ireland in the last century.

This 12-year-old boy, Wilson, followed me around on a tour of his village, quietly tapping me on the shoulder and pointing out every single plant and animal we passed. He is sitting outside his home with a dog named Simba. I loved his contemplative, un-self conscious expression and the contrast in colors between the bricks of the home and the brilliant green of the door.

Why You Should Stop Using Spray Sunscreen on Your Kids Right Now
An ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration has prompted Consumer Reports to urge parents not to use spray-on sunscreen on or near children.
An ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration has prompted Consumer Reports to urge parents not to use spray-on sunscreen on or near children.
Flip flops are one of my favorite things about summer but as much as I love them, I won't pay much money for them.
Who doesn't love a delectable dessert?
Now that summer is here there are so many great things to do.
Summer is great as an adult but there were a lot more perks when I was a kid.
Saturday was the first official day of summer and while I've seen people out and about enjoying the warm weather, there is one clear indicator that it is summer in Minnesota.
There's nothing better on a hot, summer day than a tasty popsicle.
Okay, obviously not really but it's that time of year again.
Minnesota weather... in the winter you think you live in the arctic and in the summer in the desert. Right now it's extremely hot, so what's the "magic number" to set your thermostat at to stay cool, but not break the bank? The magic number is...
The belly flop is an art. Some do it better than others, but either way, every time they slap the water you can almost feel their pain. I do not recommend making a habit out of belly flopping, but I do recommend you take a second to watch this video of belly flop fails.
Take a break from the heat and watch the video for Little Big Town's latest hit 'Pontoon'.
Yesterday was the beginning of Spring right? It sure seem that way. With the warm temperatures across the state and the amount of rain we've had, it seems like Spring came and went without us even realizing it.

About the Book
"Put Jeaniene Frost on your must-read list!"
—New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Jeaniene Frost gives us a breathtaking Eternal Kiss of Darkness—a sexy spinoff from her New York Times bestselling Night Huntress series. Urban fantasy and vampire fans, as well as devoted readers of paranormal superstars Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, and Christine Feehan, will devour this spellbinding tale—as the closest confidants of Frost's popular series characters Cat and Bones must contend with love, lust, and heart-stopping danger of their own.
An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness . . .
And now one woman has stumbled into the shadows.
Chicago private investigator Kira Graceling should have just kept on walking. But her sense of duty refused to let her ignore the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse just before dawn. Suddenly she finds herself in a world she's only imagined in her worst nightmares.
At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appears—this fearless, beautiful . . . human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.
But with danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves, or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.

DETROIT — Three years ago, U.S. car buyers started trickling back into showrooms after largely sitting out the recession. That trickle has turned into a flood.
From owners of revitalized small businesses that need to replace aging pickups to new hires who need a fresh set of wheels for the daily commute, increasingly confident buyers pushed auto sales back to prerecession levels in the first six months of this year. Sales in the January-June period topped 7.8 million, their best first half since 2007, according to Autodata Corp. and Ward's AutoInfoBank.
Automakers reported June sales Tuesday. They rose 9 percent to 1.4 million.
The outlook for the rest of 2013 is just as strong.
The factors boosting sales — low interest rates, wider credit availability, rising home construction and hot new vehicles — will be around for a while, and experts are hard-pressed for answers when asked what could slow things down.
Analysts expect total sales of around 15.5 million cars and trucks in 2013, which would be 1 million more than in 2012.

All charged up
The Chargers, a team that usually hits the snooze button in September, were wide awake in their season opener. After allowing the opening kickoff to be returned for a touchdown and sending most fans into "here we go again" mode, the Chargers settled down and did just enough to get past the Vikings. The victory didn't come without consequences, though, as the Bolts lost kicker Nate Kaeding for the season and defensive end Luis Castillo for most of it. Next up: New England, arguably the best team in football. Now we'll see if the Chargers are really awake or not.
Djokovic wins 3rd Slam of year
The sportsman of the year just may be in tennis shorts, as Novak Djokovic of Serbia won his first U.S. Open title, amounting for his third Grand Slam victory of 2011. The No. 1-ranked Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal in four sets, improving to 64-2 with 10 tournament titles this season. The 24-year-old is now setting his sights on the best win-loss record in modern tennis. John McEnroe went 82-3 in 1984.
Note to Serena: Shhh!
Then there's Serena Williams, who in full McEnroe-like rage, rattled off insults to the chair umpire in the women's final of the U.S. Open. She lost, of course. Here's a taste of what the 13-time Grand Slam champ said: "You're a hater, and you're just unattractive inside." On the contrary, the outbursts made Williams look foolish, immature and unprofessional. And it also took away from Samantha Stosur, who handily beat Williams – bad calls or not – to earn her first U.S. Open title. Shut up Serena. Just play the game.
Michaels earns tour card
Congrats to Sydnee Michaels of Temecula for winning the Futures Tour's season-ending Tour Championship and earning her LPGA Tour card for 2012. Michaels shot a 5-under-par 65 in the final round to win by a shot. It was the second victory of the season for Michaels, who also earned Rookie of the Year honors on the LPGA's developmental tour. The top 10 players on the money list earn LPGA playing privileges for next year. Tiffany Joh of Rancho Bernardo also earned her card.
Silver and black give the boot
It's tough giving a Thumbs Up to anything that has to do with the Raiders. But you have to give the boys in silver and black some credit, particularly Sebastian Janikowski. The longtime Raiders kicker booted a record-tying 63-yard field goal just before halftime in Denver, a kick that proved to be the difference in his team's season-opening win over the Broncos on Monday night. It's still early, but it looks like the Raiders could be the only team that could give the Chargers trouble in the AFC West. Mark your calendars for Nov. 10, the night Oakland comes to Qualcomm Stadium. It's gonna get ugly.

Protection victory makes chauffeur owner people's champion
Chris Hargreaves has become a people's champion by taking on the might of the insurance industry.
Sometimes you encounter people in life who inspire you and put your own mundane, feeble achievements into perspective. Step forward Chris Hargreaves, 37-year-old proprietor of Prestige Chauffeurs in Bury, Greater Manchester.
Unless someone else extraordinary comes along, this unassuming man (somewhat dapper when dressed up in his chauffeur's hat and suit and sitting behind the wheel of his wedding car, a 1960 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud MK2) will be my personal finance 'person of the year'.
His achievement? He has stood up to the might of the insurance industry and as a result is prompting change that is likely to transform income protection into the essential protection benefit it should be. IP could go mainstream with a potential market of at least 20m people in Britain.
Chris's encounter with the insurance industry started in earnest almost four years ago when he unexpectedly suffered rectal bleeding and was rushed into hospital. For the next six months he spent most of his time in hospital being treated for a rectal ulcer as well as for a pulmonary embolism.
It was a wretched experience with Chris being on a drip most of the time, undergoing a number of blood transfusions and worryingly, given his occupation and own business, suffering a series of fits and seizures.
The one thing that kept him going, other than the wonderful support of his wife Nicola, was the fact that he had been prudent and taken good advice when establishing and building his business.
He had taken out IP insurance (as well as private medical insurance), thereby in theory providing him with an all-important tax-free monthly benefit in his hour, days and weeks of need.
Unfortunately this is when things began to unwind because after his adviser began the process of making a claim on his Scottish Provident IP policy in September 2009, the insurer unexpectedly (and alarmingly) turned it down. It said he had been fit for purpose during his illness because he could actually have done the two things he said he was incapable of doing (so called work tasks) that he had based his claim on.
Chris was perplexed and angry. The insurance he had paid for every month had let him down. The IP insurance had failed to protect him. He felt cheated. He had fallen victim to the bête noire version of IP insurance, a policy written on a work tasks basis rather than one where benefit is paid as long as the policyholder is unable to carry out their own occupation. Any IP expert will tell you that the type of policy Chris had is not worth the paper it is written on.
Most people in Chris's position would have challenged the insurer's decision to decline the claim and then probably gone away vowing never to buy another insurance product again. But not remarkable, doughty Chris. He took his case to the Financial Ombudsman Service who initially sided with Scottish Provident. But back he came and early this year it ruled in his favour. He received £4800 including compensation of £100.

And if that's not enough, we can exclusively reveal Ofcom is highly likely to rule mobile calls to 0800 numbers will soon be free*.
A study by the Henley Research Centre found 68% of people feel organisations with 0800 numbers care more about their customers. Think about it, if you had the choice to contact a company using 0800, or a business that charges just to take your call, which would you choose?

Under the proposals, calls to 0800 numbers will be free from mobiles. The proposals are imminent and are based on new powers which will be introduced as a result of revised European telecoms legislation.

Posted May 11 2012 10:38AM
PHILADELPHIA -- Heartbreaking at the start, cruel at the end, with not nearly enough in the middle.
What had been a hurried-up NBA regular season led directly and stunningly into this don't-blink postseason for the Chicago Bulls, and when it was over the only parts that seemed to endure at all were the two really bad instances that bookended their first-round series against Philadelphia and doomed the league's No. 1 seed.
We're talking super slo-mo Ohhhhhh, nooooooo! nightmare moments, stretched out to last little eternities. From the postseason's very first game when Derrick Rose went down -- and out for what figures to be a nervously long time -- to the final few seconds of Game 6 Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The first threw shackles on Chicago's playoff hopes, the big plan tearing along with Rose's anterior cruciate ligament in the 47th minute of Game 1. It hurt like hell, because Rose and the Bulls had spent most of that game finding themselves, flaking off rust, taking stock and seeing the vision. Maybe, went the thinking early in Game 1, they could pull it off after all -- survive the injuries of the previous 66 games and find a way to win that opener and 15 more by the end of June.
Yeah, well, it didn't quite work that way, did it?
"What really hurts about this [series] loss is the fact that everything we've heard," forward Luol Deng said. "That we had guys down, people doubted us. We just played hard in order to show everyone that we had a team that could do it. ... Every time we had someone go down, we just looked at each other in the locker room. And with whoever we got, we really believed we were going to get it done."
The second big downer came at the bitter end Thursday, after the Bulls and Sixers had ground against each other until there were no timeouts left and hardly any time. Omer Asik's dunk with 25.9 seconds left had put Chicago up 78-75 but was matched by Thaddeus Young's driving finger roll at 12.8 seconds, getting Philly within one. That's when C.J. Watson pushed the ball hard, so hard that Jrue Holiday couldn't catch and foul him. Watson headed toward the basket, got big man Spencer Hawes to commit and fed the ball to Asik.
Uh oh. Hawes collared Asik (flagrantly, several Bulls said afterward, though it wasn't called that way) with 7.0 seconds left. The backup big man was a 45.6 percent free throw shooter during the season. He had made 4-of-5 so far Thursday. He would make no more.
Andre Iguodala grabbed the second miss, made a beeline up the middle of the court and got fouled by Asik in frantic retreat (this time, the Bulls saw a defender going straight up, properly protecting). With 2.2 seconds left, Iguodala's first foul shot tied it. His second sent Philadelphia into the playoffs' second round for the first time since 2003. It made the Sixers only the fifth No. 8 seed to topple a No. 1 since the 16-team format began in 1984. It sent a jolt through the folks at the Wells Fargo Center, now prepping for a best-of-seven clash with rival Boston, and tapped yet another vein in Doug Collins, allowing the Philly coach to bleed emotions all over another postgame presser.
Mostly what Iguodala's second free throw did, though, was put the Bulls out of their misery. And send them into uncertainty.
This quick exit, more lost season than failure, was not what they had signed up for. The Bulls had heard and basically concurred with the widely held view that it would be them and Miami in the Eastern Conference finals and they believed they had enough this time -- a better Rose, a cagey Richard Hamilton, a still-formidable frontcourt and the hard lessons learned from last spring's five-game elimination by the Heat.
Then Rose got hurt and, in Game 3, Joakim Noah followed, landing sideways on his left ankle. It was a simpatico injury, in terms of his buddy Rose, but it left the other Bulls feeling even more muddled and undercut.
"The last two weeks were so tough," said forward Carlos Boozer, better at perspective Thursday than he was at shooting a basketball (1 of 11). "Pooh [Rose] going down. Jo going down. I'll tell you one thing: It didn't break our spirit though. You saw us fighting every day, scrapping out there against a team that was completely healthy, with a lot of talent out there. I give us credit for that. We were a lot shorthanded, it wasn't a little bit."
It took the Bulls a moment -- too long -- to figure out just what they were fighting for. Boozer admitted that "psychologically it had an effect on us." By the time they shook off the hits to Rose and Noah, they were down 3-1 in the series. By the time they made it clear that their Game 5 victory was about more than pride or refusing to get ousted at home, they were scrambling in Game 6.
And by the time they righted themselves with a 16-4 run to close the third quarter, broken offense and all, their will and intensity restored, they were betrayed at the end by execution. And rebounding. And defense. Betrayed by all their strengths. If Watson hadn't gone for what he thought would be a "clear dunk" for Asik and instead had pulled out or taken a Philly foul, he would have put a more reliable shooter on the line or run too much clock for the Sixers to recover.
If Taj Gibson or Deng or someone in red had grabbed Asik's second miss instead of Iguodala ... If another Bulls player had caught and veered toward the streaking Sixers forward to disrupt his rush to the rim ...
A season full of ifs for Chicago and a postseason undermined by more of them leads immediately into an offseason that will be dominated by them, along with buts and whats and question marks.
Will Rose return with anywhere near his old explosiveness and, by the way, just when will that be? What does this new disappointing Bulls timetable mean for Deng's bum left wrist, in need of surgery but pledged by him to the London Olympics? Can Boozer and Richard Hamilton fend off further decline late in their careers and keep the many moving parts in Chicago's championship dream in sync?
If some rotation guys go -- Watson, Ronnie Brewer and Kyle Korver (a non-factor against Philly) all face contract decisions from Bulls management -- who will replace them? What have fans, Thibodeau's bosses and the coach himself learned about Thibodeau from two spring setbacks? And hey, were the Bulls really going to be good enough, even if healthy, to get past Miami, any other East threats and whoever comes out of the West this year or for as long or short as their window stays open?
Almost to a man afterward, the Bulls players blamed the injuries and said the current group deserves another shot. But then, almost all eliminated players say that. It will be up to general manager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball John Paxson to sift through that -- and the rubble -- for the truth.
"It's gonna be a long summer," Gibson said as the locker room emptied. "You think about those back-to-backs. Those grind-out practices. We didn't go so hard for it to end like this. We had one goal, to push it and get to The Finals. Look at everything we had -- best record in our division, best record in basketball, put ourselves in great position. All set up."
All knocked down, and out.

Regarding BackupExec 8.6 on Windows ...
I have a situation where an NTFS partition was (erroneously) set to use compression;
it was *not* our original intention to use compression (and, to tell you
the true, I'm not quite sure exactly when/how it got set that way).
Anyway, the "problem" (more like a "situation") that I'm running into now,
is, whenever I restore data from tapes that were made of that compressed
partition, the folders/files are being restored again in compressed form
- even when I redirect the restore to a non-compressed partition.
We're about to set up a completely new system, and migrate the data by restoring
from a current full backup ... but we don't want the data to be compressed
on the new system.
How do I go about instructing BackupExec *not* to set compression on the
restored data? I suspect that there is a (less than obvious? <grin>) option
somewhere, but I just can't seem to find it.
(Truthfully, the fact that BackupExec behaved this way in the first place,
was a bit of a surprise. I would have expected the NTFS filesystem to decompress
the data when it was read from the disk [during the backup], and that BackupExec
would just "do it's thing" [i.e. either compress the data onto the tape,
or not, based on the backup options]. Then, I would have expected it to
be up to the filesystem on the restore target, whether or not to compress
the data - regardless of how it is stored on the tape.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide any insight!

For some reason easy fancybox and w3 total cache could not play nicely together at all. Fancybox images simply would pop up in a new browser window instead of being displayed nicely by jquery. The problem turned out to be with w3 browser cache settings - if you have "Prevent caching of objects after settings change." enabled in w3 total cache it will break fancybox, for some reason putting the query string after the image URL breaks easy fancybox. That's it. Hope this helps someone out!

Issue No.01 - March (1975 vol.1)
pp: 59-67
W. W. Bledsoe , Department of Computer Sciences, University of Texas, Austin, Tex. 78712
This paper is an initial progress report on the development of an interactive system for verifying that computer programs meet given formal specifications. The system is based on the conventional inductive assertion method: given a program and its specifications, the object is to generate the verification conditions, simplify them, and prove what remains. The important feature of the system is that the human user has the opportunity and obligation to help actively in the simplifying and proving. The user, for example, is the primary source of problem domain facts and properties needed in the proofs. A general description is given of the overall design philosophy, structure, and functional components of the system, and a simple sorting program is used to illustrate both the behavior of major system components and the type of user interaction the system provides.

How about a little sexual-harassment litigation as we head into the three-day holiday weekend? A couple of cases out in California had us choking on our Cheerios this morning.
First, a California appeals court overturned a $1.5 million verdict awarded to a woman who was spanked in front of co-workers. Her employers called it team-building exercise. She called it sexual harassment. In 2006, a jury agreed and punished the company with a $1 million punitive damage award.
But this week a state appeals court overturned the verdict. Why? Because the judge didn't properly instruct the jury on the relevant issue: Was she spanked because she was a woman? The company, Alarm One, had argued since it spanked both male and female employees, there was no harassment. The spanking was part of a team building exercise for its sales force — winners also reported made the losers wear diapers and fed them baby food. (We hope there are writers from The Office who kill time reading this blog while on strike.)
If you think that's amusing, try this one on for size. The LAT, via Overlawyered, reported on the latest sexual-harassment suit set to go to trial next week against Dov Charney (pictured), the controversial wunderkind owner of clothing chain American Apparel. (Click here for a New Yorker article on Charney by Malcolm Gladwell.) Charney has been sued four times for sexual harassment (one dismissal, two settled) for, er, unusual behavior.
Like wearing underwear around the office. Or walking around naked wearing only a sock to cover his genitals. He denies creating a hostile work environment and in depositions he has explained away his behavior, saying that during the plaintiff's employment he "frequently had been in my underpants . . . because I was designing an underwear line." He added: "I'm very proud of the underwear." As for the sock, he says that he was considering it as a product and he "was in fit condition for it."

N. leptostriata nov. sp., pl. II, fig. 25. The frustule narrow lanceolate with slightly prominent ends. Length 18.5-31.5 µ, 4-5 µ. Axial area very narrow, central area small, round. Transversal striae very faint, radial, convergent towards the apex, 20-23 in 10 µ, 25 towards the apex.
Østrup (1910) found a species in Madum Sø which, on examining his original slide, I have convinced myself is identical with N. leptostriata. Østrup placed his find to N. nuda Pant. in Pantocsek 1886-93 II p. 51; table VI, fig. 108. In my opinion N. leptostriata has nothing to do with this one. N. nuda is somewhat larger, 37.5 µ long and 7 µ wide and lacks striae. The striae on N. leptostriata are very faint in styrax but more distinct in realgar. N. nuda is also stated as having been found in brackish water.
Dominant in Madum Sø, in smaller numbers in Skørsø, Grovsø and Øjesø. pH: 5.0-6.8, acidophilous.

Hackers hijack DCMS Twitter to slam government stance on expenses
MP Maria Miller mugged
HACKERS HAVE TAKEN OVER a UK government Twitter account and posted less than flattering comments about MP Maria Miller and her expenses claims.
We say hackers, but it could have been an angry and rather politicised insider who was frustrated with Miller.
There were at least three messages, none of which would have been published had they been anywhere near MP Miller's staff.
"Seriously though guys which one of us hasn't embezzled and cheated the taxpayer?? #FreeMariaMiller", read the first message that was posted to the DCMS Twitter account on Saturday evening.
This was swiftly followed by other messages, one of which compared the MP to Robin Hood, a British folk hero who robbed the rich to feed the poor. A third message asked whether the MP is guilty, adding that the public would decide.
The messages were live for less than twenty minutes, but they were spotted and shared by a number of parties before they were removed.
A DCMS spokesperson told The INQUIRER, "The DCMS Twitter account was hacked but was quickly secured. It is now being investigated. "
The MP is in the scandal spotlight because she has been accused of having falsely claimed almost £50,000 in expenses in order to support two houses and obtain liquid cash.
Miller has apologised in the House of Commons and has been ordered to kick back around £6,000 in mortgage payments, but many people think that she has been given an easy ride.
The DCMS is not the first outfit to have an apparently loose grasp on Twitter, and many other organisations also feature in the 'what happened there?' graveyard. Sky, for example, was once thrown into confusion by a 'Colin'. µ

A series of problems in Japanese nuclear power plants after an earthquake shouldn't hamper Iowa's consideration of a second nuclear plant here, the Republican lieutenant governor said this morning.
All forms of renewable energy have concerns associated with them, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds told reporters at a news conference.
"I think we continue to move forward with it," she said. "We want to make sure that we take into account all the concerns with any other form of renewable energy, not just nuclear energy."
MidAmerican Energy is already studying whether to build a nuclear power plant to generate electrical power.
And the Iowa Legislature is steadily advancing legislation to make it easier for energy companies to construct new nuclear power plants in Iowa. Two bills, House File 561 and Senate File 390, outline how the Iowa Utility Board should proceed with rate-making principles if a utility chooses to move forward with a nuclear project.
After two hydrogen explosions in three days at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, a third reactor has lost its ability to cool, according to ABC News.
One reporter pointed out to Reynolds this morning that after the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979, the industry experienced a slowdown.
Reynolds said she doesn't think that will happen again.
"No, I hope not," Reynolds said. "I think it's a different day. Technology is different. We're looking at smaller facilities across the state of Iowa, so there's a lot of opportunity there. And we need to continually research that."
The accident at Three Mile Island was the most serious in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, even though it led to no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of the nearby community, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's website.
The accident brought about changes in radiation protection, emergency response planning, reactor operator training and other areas, the website says.
Iowa has one nuclear power plant, a facility near Cedar Rapids whose majority owner is NextEra Energy. A flaw in a weld on the reactor at the Duane Arnold Energy Center led to repairs last fall.
In the Iowa Senate, lawmakers are still working on the legislation MidAmerican Energy is seeking.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said the situation in Japan will probably encourage additional consideration, and if adjustments need to be made, they will be made.
There might be calls for adequate safeguards, he said this morning.
But Gronstal said the earthquake-related problems in Japan don't cause him trepidation. The severe flooding in Cedar Rapids and Palo didn't cause concerns for the existing plant there, he said.
The Democrat-controlled Legislature last year passed a law that now allows MidAmerican Energy, which is under a rate freeze, to charge its Iowa customers $15 million for a three-year feasibility study for a nuclear plant.
Advocates of nuclear energy say it's a relatively safe source of power that pollutes less than coal plants, which are becoming more expensive because of federal emissions regulations.
Iowans have felt the effects of earthquakes in the past, including a magnitude 5.2 quake centered in southern Illinois in 2008 and a series of quakes centered in Missouri in 1811-1812 that reportedly caused the Mississippi River to flow backward for a time.
And Iowa has had more than a dozen earthquakes with epicenters within the state, according to the National Weather Service.
Renee Nelson, spokeswoman for Duane Arnold Energy Center, said the plant is designed to withstand extraordinary events such as storm surges, flooding, tornadoes and high winds. Those events include earthquakes.
Duane Arnold has seismic equipment to detect movement "even though we're not in a high hazard earthquake area," said Nelson, adding that a site's geographic threats are weighed when a plant is built.
And the plant's staff trains frequently on handling potential disasters, she said. Much of the training, design and back-up safety systems are required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"We have several layers of action, all designed to ensure safe operation," said Nelson. "We're ready to respond if impacted."

Product Description
Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) - Lair of the Wyrm introduces five new quests that can be played individually or used to supplement a larger campaign. With inventive objectives like rescuing survivors from a burning inn and protecting valuable ore from a greedy ettin, the Quest Guide in Lair of the Wyrm delivers fresh new challenges to your adventures.
What's more, Lair of the Wyrm brings two new heroes to the fight against the forces of evil. Reynhart the Worthy is a fearless warrior whose prowess in combat means he rarely makes mistakes. He can reroll misses once per attack, helping to ensure that every strike is righteous and true. Meanwhile, High Mage Quellen is a master of body and mind, and is able to quickly recover from exertions that would devastate lesser men. Quellen has developed the ability to feed off the fatigue of those around him, gaining strength where his fellows fail.
But even as the heroes of Terrinoth gain new allies and tactics, their great enemy silently grows in sinister power. In addition to the Wyrm Queen herself, a fearsome Dragon Lord lieutenant seemingly formed from solidified flame, the Overlord gains two new monsters: mischievous and destructive Fire Imps, and flying Hybrid Sentinels...half-dragon monstrosities with a cruel penchant for preying on the weak. The Overlord's new advantages are not limited to his minions, however. His new available class, Punisher, specializes in making heroes pay for every inch they advance. With abilities like Trading Pains and Exploit Weakness, the Punisher class will make the hero players flinch with fear every time something seems to go their way.

When a bunch of ranchers get together, no matter the occasion, the discussions are always lively. My most recent encounter with my longtime rancher friends was at Geraldine Huston's memorial service. This was a very sad event, but she would have loved the homemade foods and strong coffee served at lunch afterward. Geri was one of many longtime ranching wives from this area.
West Las Vegas School board chairman Gary Gold brought up the issue that has divided Las Vegas for many years — school district consolidation.
During a school board meeting on Thursday, Gold told the board he believes the consolidation issue needs to be sent to voters.
"Every time we get faced with an election, a question … we have people that are extremely strong for discussion of consolidation," Gold said. "We also have people that are against it."
Administrators at Luna Community College have finally come up with a plan for employee raises that trustees appear ready to support.
Under the new proposal, all employees at Luna would get the equivalent of a permanent 4 percent increase in their base salary.
In order to balance the state budget, lawmakers last year increased the contributions state employees must make into the retirement fund during the current fiscal year. Most state entities passed that cost on to employees, but Luna agreed to absorb it for the current fiscal year.

SANTA FE — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez adopted a new strategy as she prepared for the start of the Legislature's 30-day session.
Lawmakers returned to work at noon Tuesday and the governor outlined her agenda in a "state of the state" speech to a joint session of the House and Senate shortly after the Legislature convened.
A Las Vegas man arrested Jan. 4 on his fifth drunken driving charge was arrested again just two days later on his sixth DWI.
Jerry Rudolph, 43, whose address in court documents is listed as being on Rudolph Drive, was also charged with breaking and entering, a fourth-degree felony. He was being held at the San Miguel County Detention Center in lieu of a $25,000 cash only bond.

One resident was treated for smoke inhalation in Erie County Medical Center after a fire routed the occupants of a Linwood Avenue apartment house about 3 a.m. Thursday.
Spokesman Michael DeGeorge said the two-alarm fire did $50,000 damage to the building at 175 Linwood. The cause appears to have been careless smoking, he said. The injured person was identified only as a man in his 30s.

AT&T has had the Galaxy S4 Active available for a few weeks now, however the folks over on the xda-developer had still been searching for a way to root the handset. In fact, a thread was created in late-June that offered a bounty for the person that could root the handset and make the method available for other users. And well, it looks like famed iPhone and Sony hacker Geohot has done just that.
Geohot jumped on that thread and shared a few images as proof. Those images also came with a brief message that makes this achievement seem rather casual and matter of fact. His comment included how he "swung by the AT&T store today on the way back from the beach" and picked up a Galaxy S4 Active. He then went on to mention how he "didn't know they weren't rooted yet."
Well, it looks like the S4 Active is now rooted. With that, those with an Galaxy S4 Active can head to a specially created website to begin the rooting process. Geohot has things setup at geohot.com/activeroot/. The process appears to be simple enough, visit that site on your Active, click the lambda, install the APK file and run activeroot.
We have yet to test the process ourselves, but from what we have seen scrolling through the xda-develoers forums -- the process appears to work without issue. Further comments in the thread offer praise about how this is the easiest root method to date. Anyway, from this point users can then head to the Play Store and to grab an SU app.
As we mentioned, we have yet to test this root method ourselves but we have spent some time playing with the handset and in fact, we recently posted our review.

PI Name: INSOGNA
Project Title: IMPACT OF A PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT ON BONE MASS IN OLDER WOMEN
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Osteoporosis and osteopenia are major health problems affecting over 44 million Americans, primarily older women. Nutrition, plays a critical role in bone health but its role in the pathogenesis and prevention of bone loss is incompletely understood. We have found that dietary protein is a major regulator of calcium homeostasis, yet its impact on skeletal health remains controversial. Increasing dietary protein is known to increase urinary calcium excretion and a widely held view is that this extra calcium originates, in part, from bone. However, recent epidemiologic studies have found that higher protein intakes are associated with higher (not lower) bone mineral density and lower (not higher) rates of bone loss. Using calcium kinetic methodology, we have found that when dietary protein is increased in healthy women, intestinal calcium absorption increases significantly and accounts for almost all of the increase in urinary calcium. Further, when women consumed a high protein diet, the percentage of urinary calcium originating from bone is reduced and bone turnover is also slightly reduced. We hypothesize that a protein supplement added to the diets of healthy older women with habitually a low-normal protein diet, will improve bone health and hormonal indices of bone metabolism (in comparison to a placebo control). To test this hypothesis, we will conduct an 18-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dietary protein supplementation trial using the General Clinical Research Centers at Yale University and the University of Connecticut Health Center. Two hundred healthy women at least 60 yrs. of age will be recruited from central Connecticut. Subjects will be enrolled who naturally consume a moderately low (yet adequate) level of dietary protein (0.6-1 g/kg). (Approximately 30-40% of US women over the age of 60 y fall into this group). After baseline measurements, subjects will be randomized to receive either a placebo (maltodextrin) or a 40 g protein supplement for 18 months. The primary outcome measure in this trial is spinal bone density as assessed by DEXA. Secondary outcomes will include BMD at the spine and hip measured by QCT, serum measures of mineral homeostasis and bone turnover, and an assessment of physical performance. These studies will better inform dietary protein recommendations for optimal skeletal health and, if our hypothesis is correct, provide a new therapeutic approach to age-related bone loss.

Crimson Tide softball team slams UAB
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 12:02 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The fourth-ranked University of Alabama softball team is facing a break, with no games scheduled until Tuesday, but the Crimson Tide didn't give the UAB Blazers a break Wednesday night.
Alabama (37-6) dismantled a Blazers team that is receiving votes in the top 25 poll, winning 11-0 at Rhoads Stadium. UA built a lead with a workmanlike, efficient performance, then ended it with a bang on Leona Lafaele's pinch-hit grand slam to invoke the mercy rule in the sixth inning.
Defending national champion Alabama pounded out 14 hits and kept the momentum going for two big innings, scoring four runs in the bottom of the second and three in the fourth.
It was a stark contrast to the night before, when Alabama struggled in every phase in an 8-5 victory over Mississippi Valley State.
"What a difference," UA coach Patrick Murphy said.
The game-ender came with Lafaele, a freshman, swinging for the fences with the bases loaded.
"I don't like to get cheated," she said. "I told myself, 'I'm going to end this game. I don't care how I do it, we're not going to go back out there.' "
The second-inning outburst came from a relentless series of hits with two outs. Outfielder Keima Davis started it with a single to bring up the top of the order. Outfielders Kayla Braud and Haylie McCleney and second baseman Kaila Hunt came through in order with singles of their own, and catcher Molly Fichtner topped it off with an RBI double that put Alabama up 4-0.
Alabama was not perfect. The Crimson Tide loaded the bases in the third and had a chance to really break things open, but UAB got two strikeouts and threw out Jadyn Spencer at home.
The Crimson Tide shrugged that off and came right back at the Blazers (24-9) in the fourth. This time it was singles by Hunt, Fichtner and Jackie Traina that got UA rolling, with shortstop Danae Hays also singling in a run.
"That's more like Alabama softball," Hunt said. "We need to find the consistency that works. We do that yesterday and then we put up 11 runs on a very good team."
Alabama also got a bulldog performance from pitcher Leslie Jury, who attacked UAB batters from the start.
The most trouble Jury faced came in the top of the sixth inning, when the Blazers put runners on second and third with one out. She got a double play out of a line drive to Courtney Conley at third, with Conley catching the ball for out No. 2 and swiping the base before the runner could get back.
Jury (13-3) held UAB to four hits with five strikeouts and one walk.
"Leslie gave us a great start, one of her best performances," Murphy said.
UA hosts Southern Miss on Tuesday.

Deutsche Dominates FX Down Under
For mergers and acquisitions-related foreign exchange flows in Australia, Deutsche Bank likely has a bird's eye view.
Deutsche, known by many as the "Flows Monster", has cemented its place as far and away the biggest foreign exchange house in Australasia, claiming first place in the Euromoney annual poll.
Topping the table with around 21% of FX market, the gulf between its next largest competitors is large. Westpac came in second place at 10%.
"The difference in market share between Deutsche Bank and our closest competitor shows we are the clear leader in providing best-in-class products and service in the region," said Darren Boulos, the bank's head of Global Finance and Foreign Exchange in Australia.
He's entitled to the brag because Deutsche has now topped the Australia poll in six of the last seven years.
"We are consistently developing new products and improving our service to cement our No. 1 position with clients," Boulos said.
Moving up to third was UBS who knocked Citi back to fourth. Barclays remained unchanged in fifth.
For corporates or exporters hoping the Aussie dollar might cool off soon, Deutsche Bank says still solid economic fundamentals means the currency will likely stay above parity against the Greenback through 2012, though there's a ceiling at US$1.0500.
"It's a good story but beyond US$1.0500, it's an expensive story," said John Horner, the bank's Sydney based FX strategist.
