Fort Worth Sails through Trials
Lockheed Martin's latest littoral combat ship successfully completes Navy acceptance trials on Lake Michigan
The latest Littoral Combat Ship, Fort Worth (LCS 3), successfully concluded its four-day Navy acceptance trials
May 4 on Lake Michigan. During the trials, LCS 3 underwent comprehensive tests intended to demonstrate the
performance of the propulsion plant, ship handling and auxiliary systems.
The eyes of Texas – and the U.S. Navy – were upon the nation's third littoral combat ship recently, and they liked what they saw from the future USS Fort Worth.
Designed and built by a Lockheed Martin-led industry team, Fort Worth (LCS 3) successfully concluded its four-day Navy acceptance trials May 4 on Lake Michigan. During the trials, the Navy conducted comprehensive tests intended to demonstrate the performance of the propulsion plant, ship handling and auxiliary systems.
"Fort Worth performed extremely well during its trials," said LCS Program Manager Capt. John Neagley. "The ship's level of completion coupled with Marinette Marine's excellent craftsmanship resulted in relatively few material deficiencies."
Acceptance trials are the last significant milestone before delivery of the ship to the Navy. The ship was presented to the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) with high levels of completion, according to the Navy.
Built at the Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin and christened last December, Fort Worth is the second Freedom-variant ship in the LCS program and is now 99 percent complete. The Navy is scheduled to take delivery this summer. Naval architect Gibbs & Cox, as well as domestic and international teammates are also on the Lockheed Martin-led team.
"This is a tremendous program milestone for the program, and a testament to Lockheed Martin's commitment to meeting milestones and delivering on time, on budget," said Joe North, vice president of littoral ship systems for Lockheed Martin. "It's critically important that we remain focused on performance, especially in today's environment."
The Freedom variant's production line is shifting into high gear. The team has begun construction on the Milwaukee (LCS 5) and Detroit (LCS 7). Little Rock (LCS 9) and Sioux City (LCS 11) were awarded in March 2012 and the industry team is in the process of procuring long-lead materials for their construction. The team delivered the USS Freedom, the nation's first LCS, to the fleet in only six years from initial concept, half the time of traditional shipbuilding programs.
The Freedom variant's design provides outstanding maneuverability with proven sea-keeping characteristics and innovative design features to support launch and recovery operations of manned and unmanned vehicles. Reaching speeds of more than 40 knots, the highly automated and networked surface combatant's flexibility enables it to execute mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, maritime interdiction and humanitarian/disaster relief missions.

Community: Daily Life | Move out of the Current | Aims
No day at the OE is exactly like any other, but we do find there is a general daily rhythm over the course of the semester.
Segment Core, Monday Through Thursday
- 9-9:15: prelude
- 9:15-10:30: lecture
- 10:30-11: break
- 11-12:30: small group discussion
- Afternoon: time to complete reading and written assignments
During the Core Reading period, Monday through Thursday, we meet at 9 a.m. in the library for a prelude – a short poem or reading, followed by a minute of silence – and then we hear a lecture that explores an aspect of our core texts for the week.
At about 10:30 a.m. we take a break, and then assemble in our small groups at 11 a.m. in faculty living rooms to sip tea or coffee and discuss the day's reading until 12:30 p.m. or so.
Because we assign no homework on weekends, we use Monday's discussion time slot to arrange one-on-one faculty-student conferences –
conversations that provide an intentional space for discussing the student's academic work and any other questions or concerns.
After we break for lunch at 12:30, students have the afternoon and evening to complete the reading and writing assignments for the following day.
- 9-9:15: prelude
- 9:15-10:30: discussion
- 10:30-11: coffee break
- 11-12:30: sharing of memos or one idea papers discussion
- 1:30: chores
- 5:30: town trip
Fridays are a little special. We meet in the library for a prelude and announcements at 9 a.m., as usual, but then we move into discussion groups without a lecture. We gather in the Cookhouse at 11 a.m. for coffee break and a delicious sugary treat and then reassemble in our groups where students share aloud their one-page memos of the week.
After lunch on Fridays, we gather for chores at 1:30 p.m. – slinging firewood, vacuuming the library, learning to use a chainsaw – and then the weekend begins around 4 p.m. with a free evening. The town trip happens on Friday or Saturday; weekends throughout the semester offer day hikes, Sunday evening vespers, the occasional Shakespeare play in Ashland, and, most importantly, free time to be and play and breathe deep.
During the Project weeks, the day's structure is designed by each student. Apart from a one-hour daily meeting scheduled with a faculty project advisor, the day is open for deeply engaged research and writing, allowing time for students to immerse themselves in topics they have chosen according to their own interests.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. The Guardian Scholars Program at Colorado Mesa University gives students who may not be able to attend college a chance to not only gain a higher education, but to become a college graduate.
The program offers students who come from a challenging background a way to pay for college. This is done through donations as well as federal and state grants. Currently, there are 11 students in the Guardian Scholars at CMU. Besides helping pay for their education, the students say the program has made a big impact on their lives.
"We're able to help each other through trials, you know problems and issues and so this has really just been an amazing impact on my life," Joslyn Funez, a senior in the Guardian Scholars program at CMU.
To keep their scholarship the students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average.

Although it is commonly known that intestinal parasites are very prevalent in China, but little definite statistical work has been done, and so far as can be ascertained none in this province of Kiang Su. China, considered medically, is rather an indefinite term with its great extent of territory and its hundreds of millions of people. The eighteen provinces vary in many important essentials as: 1. Climate; from the arctic cold of the northern to the tropical heat of the southern. 2. Elevation; from the plains and level provinces to the mountainous. 3. Density of population; from 30 to a square mile to 600. 4. Amount of rainfall. Therefore, it is quite probable that the prevalence of intestinal parasites in one province will be quite different from that in another.
The present series of examinations of stools of Chinese was made at the laboratory of St. Luke's Hospital, Shanghai, through

Court Appoints Lawyer to Represent Farkas
Lee Farkas, the former chairman of Taylor Bean & Whitaker awaiting trial on charges he engineered a multibillion-dollar mortgage fraud, is leaning on a court-appointed lawyer to help him beat the rap.
A federal judge in Virginia named former U.S. Attorney William Bruce Cummings to represent Farkas after the onetime mortgage lender failed to come up with the cash to hire his own counsel.
"I will be counsel unless he comes up with funds from one source or another to retain counsel," said Cummings, a white-collar defense attorney based in Alexandria, Va., who also once represented "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh.
Farkas is the Florida businessman who built Taylor Bean from a small mortgage company into the nation's largest mortgage lender not owned by a bank.
With his assets frozen by the court, Farkas had hoped to tap Taylor Bean's insurance policy covering directors and officers to pay for his defense. But Taylor Bean filed for bankruptcy a year ago, and the insurer required approval from a bankruptcy judge to release the funds.
The bankruptcy judge has yet to rule on the request, and with prosecutors' growing antsy about a fast-approaching trial set to begin Nov. 1, U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema appointed Cummings.
Federal prosecutors claim Farkas engaged in a seven-year, multibillion-dollar fraud by double-pledging Taylor Bean's mortgage loans and improperly transferring loans and securities between the company's bank accounts.
Prosecutors say Farkas and others engaged in a scheme to misappropriate more than $1.9 billion in funds to hide operating losses at Taylor Bean, which in turn helped hasten the collapse of Colonial Bank, the company's main lender.
Last year, as Colonial teetered near collapse, prosecutors say Farkas also engaged in fraud in connection with an attempt to convince the U.S. government to bail out Colonial Bank with $553 million in TARP funds.
Farkas, who's out on bail, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His trial is expected to start in November.
Cummings, his lawyer, said so far he's only spoken briefly to Farkas about his defense. But he said he expects to file a motion soon to move the trial to Florida, nearer to Farkas's home, from Virginia.
Farkas has been charged with 16 counts of bank, wire and securities fraud. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Prosecutors are also seeking $22 million in forfeiture from Farkas.

NEW YORK (AP) �With a flick of the switch, a 76-foot Norway Spruce officially became the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree after it was illuminated for the first time this holiday season in a ceremony that�s been held since 1933.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg turned on the lights just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, setting off a dazzling 45,000 multi-colored LED lights and a 9 O-foot-wide Swarovski star that topped the 12-ton tree.
Adam Connery, 41, and his wife Kristy Connery, 37, from Tyngsborough, Mass., watched the ceremony on their first vacation to New York City.
�It�s gorgeous, it�s enormous,� said Kristy Connery of the massive tree towering above the hundreds of thousands of people who gathered to watch the ceremony. �Christmas is my favorite time of the year.�
The holiday event in midtown Manhattan also was watched by millions on television. The tree will be on display until Jan. 7, after which it�ll be milled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity.
Artists such as Mary J. Blige, the Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis performed.
Lamar Lakins, 37, a housekeeper from Queens, brought his wife, mother, 10-year-old daughter Shanel, and newborn son to watch the performances and see the tree lighting.
He and Shanel danced together in the plaza during a performance of �Jingle Bells.�
�I just love this,� he said of the gathering. �It�s just people out enjoying themselves. I�m definitely a fan of the holiday season.�
The approximately 75-year-old tree made the 70-mile trip to New York City on a tractor-trailer from its home in Shelton, Conn., last month.
Danbury, Conn., resident Mary Hynes, 60, declared the show to be �outstanding.�
�The excitement of the crowd, the brilliance of the lights. It was great,� she said.
�Today Show� personalities Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie and Natalie Morales co-hosted �Christmas in Rockefeller Center,� which aired on NBC.
They dedicated the broadcast to James Lovell, 58, a married father of four and a sound and lighting expert who worked on the tree. Lovell was one of four people killed when a Metro-North commuter train derailed in the Bronx on Sunday. He was on his way to work on the tree when the accident occurred.

Profits No Thriller, But Bestsellers And E-books Lift HarperCollins' Turnover
Posted at 8:21AM Monday 14 Jan 2013HarperCollins enjoyed a boost in turnover thanks to sales of e-books and bestsellers such as Hilary Mantel's award-winning novel, Bring Up the Bodies.
Yet while turnover at the Glasgow-headquartered firm rose 4 per cent to £263.5 million, the firm saw its profits slip from £14.3m to £11.5m in the year to the end of June 2012 due to an "economically challenged environment", according to accounts published at Companies House.
The company said it increased its market share by 10 per cent, while sales of e-books grew 250 per cent.

These tiny larvae are praying mantis pictured only a minute after hatching. At first glance, it looked like a collection of dried leaves. But when moved a little closer, this orange bundle suddenly sprang into life - hundreds of lives in fact. When I shot them they went one by one from the herd. They then go to continue their lives alone and do not return to the nest. it was the first time i'm had ever seen their birth. I have been looking for similar images online but I have never seen one like it.

Take a
Virtual Ride
Overview2:41 average time for 23.9 miles. Details
Phil's World is known for two words, RIB CAGE! The most prominent feature of the area, Rib Cage is fast and fun, rolling terrain that will make you hoop and holler. You can lap this feature, but there is plenty of other fun to be had as well. Ledges and Stinking Spring trails are furthest from the trailhead, and offer a bit more challenging terrain, and also the best views.
If solitude is what you are looking for, this is not the area for you, at the parking lot at least. Because of the one way direction, once the parking lot is left behind, you would think you are the only one on the trails.
Need To KnowThe front part of Phil's World is on State Trust Land that is leased and maintained by the Kokopelli Bike Club. The club asks riders that have not paid for an annual membership to drop $3/person in the paybox located at the start of the trail. This money is used to offset the cost of the lease and the required liability insurance as well as maintaining this awesome trail.
DescriptionThe Phil's World trail system is directional so all loops are ridden clockwise. Each section of the trail is conveniently marked with a wooden sign.
Head North out of the parking lot through the gate to the trail intersection where you'll see the return route coming in from the right. Drop your daily user fee in the pay box if you don't have an annual membership and take a look at the trail map and kiosk.
The buff singletrack winds through pinion and juniper forest, gradually gaining just over 100 feet to the "saddle". Buckle in and prepare for a super fun screaming descent down the Coco Race section. After this fast and twisty descent you'll cross through a big arroyo and grunt up a short but steep climb followed by some flat recovery spinning through the pinions.
At the intersection on top of the next saddle, stay left again for the Lemonhead section unless you are short on time and want to go straight for the Rib Cage. Lemonhead drops off a couple of ledges, traverses the hillside and then climbs up to the top of mesa for some more fast cruising. After a few miles, you'll come to the Cortez overlook which is a good spot to regroup and look West to great views of Totten reservoir and the City of Cortez.
Following Lemonhead is a quick drop into the Maze section with an easy log jump and some tight corners. Prepare to get your climb on as you exit the Maze and climb back up to the Elbow section. Elbow takes you across some slickrock style riding with a couple of technical sections. With the right lines, you can make quick work of these tricky sections, but use caution as there have been a few unfortunate mishaps here.
After the Elbow, the trail returns to smooth, hardpacked singletrack heading East with some terrific views of the LaPlata mountain range. Take a left at the Abajo junction (straight is a shortcut into the lower half of Ribcage) and climb up to the Abajo overlook. It is customary to stop here for a snack and regroup. On a clear day you'll see mountain ranges in all direction including the LaPlatas, the Wilson group, the Abajos near Monticello and even the LaSals near Moab.
From the Abajo overlook, traverse the ridge on excellent tread to the Ledges turnoff going left. For this description we'll stay right and skip Ledges but it is a great loop that you can add on if you have time to tack on 30-60 minutes to your ride. Ledges will come back in to the main trail just down the way from where you left it.
Shortly past the Ledges Turnoff, there is an intersection for the Stinking Springs Loop. If you want to avoid this and get straight to the top of the Rib Cage, go straight (on the trail curving to the right or West). The traditional "race lap" turns left onto Stinking Springs for a super fast and smooth climb up to the Pinnacle where you'll drop into the Vertebrae.
Vertebrae is a downhill roller coaster that will have you grinning the whole way. There are banked turns and pump track like jumps leading to Moki Downhill which is a little bit more rocky and technical.
Transition from Moki Downhill to a hard climb up the Moki Climb followed by another cruise along the edge of a mesa.
Next up is a beating along the rocky, semi-technical section known as Tuffy Rim. Be careful of pinch flats if you're running tubes through this section.
After exiting the rim on a quick descent and a short climb up Stone Axe Hill, you'll hit a ledgy drop that has gotten a bit rough recently. There are a few lines down the ledges so pick one and go for it.
Another short climb and you are at the top of the famed Rib Cage. Tighten everything up here and prepare for a roller coaster ride. The Rib Cage is a flowy, twisty section with great jumps and berms.
You'll still be grinning from the Rib Cage when you recross the arroyo and climb back up to the "saddle". At the saddle drop in for the final screaming descent back to the parking lot.
History & BackgroundPhil's World trail has gone through many iterations over the years. The original route was constructed by a local, appropriately named Phil. The trail is on a mix of BLM and State Trust Land. At one point, the trail became in danger of being shut down due to the State Trust land being leased by the shooting range. The Kokopelli Bike Club was able to negotiate a shared lease with the shooting range and reroute the front part of the trail to avoid biker/shooter conflicts. Rib Cage was the first addition to the original Phil's trail, followed by the Stinking Springs loop and then the Ledges loop. A shorter beginner loop (Trust Loop)was built on the front part of the State Trust Land along with an extension of Phil's named 2 More, partially as a school project for some local students. The Kokopelli bike club then added another extension off the Trust Loop called Hippie House Loop.
The 12 Hours of Mesa Verde race attracts about 800 racers here every Spring.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, along with several members of the team have always talked about toughness of quarterback Connor Shaw.
It appears the Gamecocks' starting quarterback's ability to push through the pain might be on display again as Spurrier said Tuesday that Shaw will be available for Saturday's home Southeastern Conference game against Kentucky.
"Connor Shaw, it looks like he is going to be healthy and able to play," said Spurrier. "I don't know who will start yet. We'll wait on that."
Dylan Thompson filled in for Shaw last week against Central Florida and remains a candidate to start against Kentucky. Spurrier said an announcement on that will probably be made Thursday.
Shaw injured his right shoulder on the Gamecocks seventh offensive play of the game when he ran the read option up the middle of the field before being tackled and fumbling the football.
BOWL PROJECTIONS: BCS title game would be Ohio State vs. Georgia
He did not return to the game, watching from the sideline with his shoulder and right arm taped. Spurrier said at the time that Shaw would miss two to three weeks.
"(Shaw) is a tough guy, obviously a very tough guy," Spurrier said Tuesday. "He obviously had a lot of pain with the hit the other day because, when he came off the field, it looked like he was out for the season, maybe. But now, he is good shape.
"Connor is a tough kid who should be able to play this week. He has played very well for us. His record speaks for itself — percentage-wise the winningest quarterback. You've got to say he really played well."
Shaw participated in Monday's practice on a limited basis but proved to Spurrier he could be ready to play Saturday.

HERAT - Islam Qala, a small border town that forms the gateway between Iran and Afghanistan, is a focus of concern for Afghan officials fighting the Taliban insurgency because some believe Iran is using it to infiltrate guerrillas intent on destabilizing the Kabul government.
"I was working in Iran for about eight months," said one man, a former refugee, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "But I got an offer from the Taliban in Gozara district [of Herat province] offering me a higher salary, so I accepted."
Once he had crossed the border into Afghanistan, he said Pakistanis and Iranians based in the hills of Pashtun Zarghon district, the site of a growing insurgency, gave him military training.
For four months, the man said he participated in armed attacks on behalf of the Taliban in the Gozara and Pashtun Zarghon districts, and received a monthly salary of 20,000-30,000 Pakistani rupees (US$240 to $360).
"We struck security posts in the villages of Toot, Siyawooshan and Injel, as well as carrying out attacks on foreign military convoys," he said.
Now he is happily settled in civilian life, having been awarded a certificate by the Peace and Reconciliation Commission - an Afghan body established in 2005 as a mechanism for engaging with insurgents - that records his decision to lay down his arms.
Border police officials in Islam Qala say that more than 100 Afghans return from Iran daily. Many lack refugee documents or other identity cards to prove their Afghan citizenship and there is no adequate process to check them, which leads to many undesirables passing through, they say.
"Dozens of refugees are deported from Iran every day," said Abdullah Achakzai, a border police officer who works at the Islam Qala checkpoint. "We have caught Arab and Iranian citizens trying to enter Afghanistan without the proper documentation and have turned them over to the National Directorate of Security, NDS. But we cannot check everybody so carefully. We do not have enough officers, or the right equipment."
Officials fear that Islam Qala is being used as an infiltration point by potential guerrillas, whether they are returning Afghans or foreign citizens trying to conceal their identities.
"One of these refugees told us that Iranian troops at the Sang-e-Safed military base said that Afghanistan is under American occupation," Achakzai said. "They asked him to fight against America when he went back to Afghanistan."
Achakzai said the border police had recently stopped an Iranian citizen posing as an Afghan refugee. "He had maps with him of Herat airport and other documents concerning the 207th Zafar [Afghan National Army] corps."
Haji Sher Ahmad, who owns a hotel in Islam Qala, told the Institute for War and Peace Reporting that many foreigners had stayed there recently.
"Several men who were speaking Arabic, and had apparently been deported from Iran, came to my hotel and stayed several nights," he said. "They asked for the best rooms, and ordered the most expensive food. I contacted the police, but they did not do anything."
An employee of the Bamyan Chahr Fasel Hotel in Herat city said that over the past year, several people had come to the hotel introducing themselves as Afghan refugees returning from Iran, but were in fact speaking Arabic among themselves.
"After staying a few nights, they went off someplace," said the man, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "We recently found a suitcase of one of the 'repatriates' that had been forgotten at the hotel. When we opened it, it was full of maps and other documents. We gave it to the NDS."
Police officials in Herat say that many foreigners who support the insurgency in western Afghanistan have entered the country illegally through checkpoints like Islam Qala.
"Two Iranian citizens were arrested during a police operation against anti-government militants in Gozara district," said Ismatullah Alizai, Herat police chief. "We turned them over to the NDS for further investigation."
According to Alizai, more than 50 foreigners, among them Pakistanis, Chechens and Iranians, had been identified in the Gozara and Pashtun Zarghon districts. They are suspected of supporting the insurgency.
"Many terrorist attacks are organized by foreigners in Herat province," he said.
In Gozara district, which has seen a spike in insurgent activity over the past year, residents say that two Iranian Kurdish women had been seen in Siyawooshan village.
"I spoke with these two women," said one Gozara resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They were over 30 years old. They told me that Afghanistan has been invaded by America, and it is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to devote their lives to the liberation of this Muslim land."
Parliamentarian Mohammad Daud Sultanzoy said he had seen reports indicating that foreign militants who are cooperating with the Taliban often enter Afghanistan posing as refugees being repatriated.
"If the Afghan border police cannot control the borders, it is undeniable that the influence of foreigners who support the anti-government militants will grow," he said.
He recommended that the number of border police be increased, so that no refugee without the proper documentation would be able to enter the country.
Officials at the Iranian consulate in Herat said the country deports only Afghans who do not have proper documentation. They dismissed any suggestion that they were encouraging or allowing Pakistanis, Chechens or other foreign citizens to enter Afghanistan as Afghan refugees.
But in early October, Afghan speculation about Iranian intentions was further fueled when local people say Iran temporarily relaxed its border restrictions and allowed hundreds of undocumented Afghans to cross the border into Iran.
According to Colonel Hamidullah Sarhadi, the quartermaster of the border police in Herat, close to 2,000 Afghans were allowed to enter Iran during a two-day period.
Some Afghans fear Iran is deliberately attracting energetic young people so that they can be indoctrinated and sent back to Afghanistan to fight the Americans.
"With the use of Afghan refugees, Iran is paving the way for opposition against the Afghan government," said Khalil Ahmad Amiri, 30, a resident of Herat city.
But Iranian border officials deny that their frontier was opened. According to the Iranian consulate in Herat, the country already has close to one million registered Afghans in the country, along with another million who have entered illegally. In past years, Iran has embarked on a campaign to expel illegal Afghan refugees, sometimes as many as 500 per day, creating huge problems on the Afghan side of the border.
Some Afghan commentators have poured cold water on the speculation around the reported relaxation of border restrictions. "It is too early to say that Iran is going to use these Afghans for military purposes," said political expert Ahmad Saeedi.
Saeedi thinks a more subtle Iranian opposition to the United States and the Afghan government could have been the reason behind the alleged move.
"Iran wants to show its sympathy to the Afghans, who have suffered so much as a result of Iranian deportation. It wants to gain a political, social and economic advantage in Afghanistan because of its opposition to the United States," he said.
Basir Begzad, a political analyst in Herat, suggests that the reported frontier opening was an attempt to undermine confidence in the Kabul authorities and the international community. "They want to show the world that Afghans are not happy with the current government and the foreign forces, and that they run away as soon as they get the chance," he said.
Zia Ahmadi and Mustafa Saber are IWPR-trained reporters based in Herat.

Quinnipiac University is well known for conducting polls that are regularly featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal.
Recently, they conducted a poll that, contrary to the common narrative, reveals more voters disapprove of the Occupy Wherever movement than support it.
"Just 30 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the protests, while 39 percent do not," reports Business Insider. "Among independent voters, the spread is 29-42 against — a warning sign for Democrats who are trying to bring the movement into the mainstream."
This shows a marked change from a recent CNN poll that claimed "32 percent of Americans supported the movement, while 29 percent viewed it unfavorably."
As always, whenever these polls come along, it may be prudent to take the results with a grain of salt.
As written earlier on The Blaze:
Polls are not definitive by any means and usually only give a rough picture. In fact, there are several problems that need to be considered before one accepts the results of any poll. For example, there may be a problem with the sample design (for telephone surveys, how the numbers were selected and how the individuals are selected within the household), non-availability, the refusal problem (is the refusal rate different on the particular variable we are measuring?), question wording, question order, deliberate, or unconscious, lying or false reporting by respondents, or inappropriate or inadequate weighing of data.
All of these variables have been shown in various studies to be the source of not just small errors but sometimes quite substantial ones. Unfortunately, there are not many methods that allow one to quantify the effects of these errors or to validate the results within any kind of reasonable measure. Out of everything that can go wrong in a survey, only the "sampling error" can be quantified.
So what methods did Quinnipiac use?
According to their survey:
From October 25 – 31, Quinnipiac University surveyed 2,294 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.1 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
Therefore, the Quinnipiac poll may have some of the aforementioned survey errors. Nevertheless, the results are intriguing (to say the least).
"Support for the Occupy Wall Street movement appears to fall along one cultural line — college graduates have positive views of the movement almost as much as they have negative views, by a 38-42 margin," writes Business Insider. "Among those without a college degree, 26 percent support the movement, while 37 percent oppose."
The survey also claims that support for the Occupy movement is almost identical to the support for the tea party movement at nearly identical 31 percent–although, according to the survey, 45 percent of Americans have an "unfavorable view" of the tea party movement.
Furthermore, the survey found that respondents without college degrees are "less likely to hold unfavorable views of the tea party (39 percent unfavorable) than college graduates (57 percent)."
Other findings include:
- American voters were split 45 – 44 percent on whether the U.S. did the right thing using military force in Libya. A total of 54 percent give President Obama "a lot" or "some" credit for bringing down Gadhafi.
- 60 percent of respondents disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling the economy
- 61 percent of respondents approve of the way Barack Obama is handling the situation in Iraq
- 62 percent of respondents disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling creating jobs
[*]59 – 32 percent [believe] immigration reform should primarily move towards stronger enforcement rather than integrating illegal immigrants into U.S. society
See the poll here: November 3, 2011 – U.S. Voters Say Super Committee Will Fail To Cut Debt, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Occupy Wall Street Less Unpopular Than Tea Party
[Author's note: it might be useful to point out the the title of the survey seems biased. Rather than titling the report in such a way as to reflect the waning support for OWS, the authors thought it better to say, "Hey, well at least it's not as unpopular as the tea party!"]

George Clooney Film to begin production in Cincinnati USA01/14/2011
Film Commission seeks community support of high profile productionCINCINNATI (January 10, 2011) – The Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission confirmed today that the George Clooney film, "Ides of March" will begin filming scenes in Cincinnati USA in February, 2011. The film company, Smokehouse Pictures, has been scouting locations since the end of October, building their local crew base, finalizing hotel room nights, and meeting with city officials to understand how Cincinnati can best support this high profile project.
In partnership with the State of Ohio, this will be one of the largest films to take advantage of Ohio's Motion Picture Incentive, a bi-partisan plan that passed two years ago. Although Ohio's State Film Commissioner, Jeremy Henthorne resigned Friday, Cincinnati Film Commission's Executive Director, Kristen Erwin said, "It's business as usual in Cincinnati." She added she hopes the new administration sees the importance of these types of jobs and dollars in the State of Ohio and keep incentives moving forward. The Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Commission remains one of the oldest film commission's in the country.
When asked to comment additionally on "Ides," Kristen went on to say, "If this film crew, including George Clooney, has a great experience, we will have the ultimate marketing tool for our region to attract more Hollywood films. We want George Clooney and his team to feel we are a a film friendly city and to understand how excited we are to welcome back one of our own."
The film will also shoot scenes in Michigan, a state which offers 42 percent back to Hollywood in incentives for film production. With that in mind, Erwin is asking for community support of the film and offers the following advice:
1) Be location friendly: If your location is used, keep it under your hat until after they have completed filming "on site."
2) Be film friendly: Recognize the process and respect distance while filming for the greater chance of future films coming to the area.
3) Open your doors and places of business: Crews love to enjoy local nightlife and weekend activities. Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have "specials" downtown you would like the crew to be aware of in February and March.
The film will shoot over 26 locations in the area. Smokehouse Partner and producer, Grant Heslov stated, "We're extremely happy to be shooting in Cincinnati. The Film Commission has been amazing and we would not be able to shoot as many days in the state without their help and hard work."

SASEBO, Japan (NNS) -- Members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 11, Detachment 9, from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash., participated in joint training operations with members of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Explosive Ordnance Disposal team May 29 in Sasebo, Japan.
Lt. John Laney, EODMU 11, Det. 9's officer in charge, said that every opportunity that his EOD unit has to work with JMSDF is a chance to strengthen the bond between the United States and Japan.
"While I cannot do that single-handedly," he said, "I can focus on my specialty (EOD), and improving relationships between American EOD and our Japanese counterparts."
While fostering relationships, the joint training allowed EODMU 11 Det. 9 Sailors to share information on how they address some of the problems that joint U.S. forces have been facing in Iraq with respect to improvised explosive devices.
Laney said that the JMSDF EOD team is incredibly proficient at their job, but their training is limited to surface and sub-surface explosive devices within the marine environment. As a result, the training that Det. 9 provided was both new and insightful.
As part of the training, Det. 9 Sailors demonstrated X-ray techniques with their portable X-ray machine, which is used to identify the type of IED in question and discern the makeup and location of the component parts within the device. According to Laney, these components can vary greatly from device to device.
Laney said that while the specific techniques used in the X-ray process were not familiar to his Japanese counterparts, they were accustomed to using larger X-ray devices for identification purposes in mine countermeasure (MCM) work.
Chief Explosive Ordnance Disposalman (EWS) C.J. Cowlin, the EOD chief from EODMU 5, Detachment 51 located in Sasebo, said that the topics covered in the training are of secondary importance.
"It is important to always try to coordinate training [with the Japanese], to interface, to increase exposure, and to share capabilities," Cowlin said. "It helps in the global war on terror to have a strong front, and it takes sharing knowledge to get there.
"In the Pacific theatre, Japan is our (the United States') primary ally," he said.
For this reason, Cowlin said, it is difficult to overstate the value of having operational relationships in as many areas of the world as possible.

Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters
Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744.
Disclosure of the heavily Democratic contributions by influential employees of the three major broadcast networks follows on the heels of controversy last week when it was learned that media baron Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.
The News Corp. donation prompted Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association and son of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, to demand in a letter to Fox News chairman Roger Ailes that the cable news outlet include a disclaimer in its coverage of gubernatorial campaigns. Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns The Wall Street Journal.
The data on contributions by broadcast network employees was compiled by CRP at the request of The Examiner and included all 2008 contributions by individuals who identified their employer as one of the three networks or subsidiaries. The data does not include contributions by employees of the three networks who did not identify their employer.
The CRP is the organization behind OpenSecrets.org, the web site that for more than a decade has put campaign finance data within reach of anybody with an Internet connection.
President Obama received 710 such contributions worth a total of $461,898, for an average contribution of $651 from the network employees. Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain received only 39 contributions totaling $26,926, for an average donation of $709.
Ninety-six contributions by broadcast network employees to the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senate and House campaign committees totaled $217,881.
Thirty-eight contributions by broadcast network employees to the Republican National Committee and the Republican Senate and House campaign committees totaled $23,805.
Among the individuals in the data are ABC News president Lloyd Braun, who contributed $1,000 to the Our Common Values PAC, which is associated with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and ABC Radio Networks president Jim Robinson, who gave $250 to GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson.
Other individual givers found in the data include ABC reporters Sarah Amos, who gave $1,285 to Democratic presidential aspirant Bill Richardson, Clarisa Ward, who gave $500 to President Obama, and Kristina Wong, who gave $400 to the Democratic Party of Virginia.
Notable contributors found in the CBS data include "journalist" Seth Davis, who gave $2,750 to Obama, CBS Corporation vice president and editor-in-chief Jane Goldman, who contributed $250 to Obama, CBS Radio "host" Mike Omeara, who gave $1,471 to Obama, and "journalist" Beverly Williams, who donated $200 to Obama.
Among NBC contributors were Saturday Night Live producer Jeffrey Ross, who contributed $500 to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CN, former NBC Today Show weatherman Willard Scott. who gave $500 to the Republican National Committee, NBC Universal CFO Jennifer Cabalquinto, whose donations to Obama totaled $1,200, and NBC Universal "editor" David Mack, with $250 to Obama and $2,300 McCain.

In a chat with ET Now, Harendra Kumar, Managing Director-Institutional Equities, Elara Capital shares his views about the private and PSU banking space.
ET Now: As a group, it is the private banking space and within the private banking space, it is the mid-tier private banking space which is looking charged up like Federal Bank, Yes Bank, ING Bank etc. What has changed for that group per se?
Harendra Kumar: The point is that they start off on a low base and they start off with a new entry strategy in terms of credit growth, in terms of new customer acquisition and they are very early into the lifecycle of building the asset book. So, NPAs are not showing up per se. Hence, the markets are more enthused out there.

Well, nearly. From March 10, 2000, I became a serial poster to South Bay Birders, whose site still exists and maybe their list-server too. Here's my first offering, which demonstrates how tough the Yankee sparrows are for the newbie:
"I have been in the area for a few weeks and have got fairly confident with separating your sparrows, gulls and hawks. It seems as though the golden rule with the last of these is to assume a Red-tail until there is compelling evidence to the contrary! And the immature sparrows really got me for a while.
"I am left with one intriguing sighting at Sunnyvale Baylands Park on the 17th of last month. I saw a small, dark sparrow up a tree near the entrance parking lot. I was able to get the binoculars on to it from a distance of about 30 feet, so the view was not bad. When I say dark, I mean that black would be an overstatement but not by much. And I assumed sparrow because of its somewhat conical bill. It had a short tail and there was the suggestion of a paler eyebrow. It was also possible that the head was paler than the rest of the body with darker ear patches. The light was not great and any of these effects could have been due to it (I have seen enough crows with apparent markings to be aware of this).
"The bird flew off, fortunately in to another tree with a handful of others. I was now further away but its companions showed as all dark too. I may have caught a paler wing bar on one or two and one that was facing me definitely seemed to have a streaky chin. I fancied also that the bill may have been slightly paler than the rest of the bird.
"And that's it. They took off before I could get closer. I have been back several times since without seeing anything remotely like them. I cannot find such a uniformly dark sparrow in my field guide nor any small passerine of that colouring. My suspicion now is that I was looking at a flock of escapees but perhaps someone out there will be able to put me right."
Can anyone guess what species I eventually logged?

Nation Today Summary
How It All Goes Down
- The scene shifts to a modern-day, parallel-universe room with a seismograph in it. It appears that we've been listening, along with two children, to an old man tell the story we just read.
- The kids can't believe the ship just sailed away with Daphne on it. No happy ending!? What is this, The Sopranos?
- Well, there's more. Many scientists, including Albert Einstein and Carl Sagan, visited the island in the following years.
- We're told that Daphne came back about a year later for a visit, but she didn't stay there. She went back to England to marry a European prince.
- But there is kind of a happy ending: when she died, her coffin was sent back to the island to be buried at sea there, where Mau had been laid to rest just two months prior.
- Hm, okay, not so happy.
- The story over, the man shows the kids a telescope, and they view Jupiter even though it's broad daylight.
- After the kids leave, the man steps outside to view the lagoon. He sees a dolphin leap into the air, and the man smiles.

J.C. Penney's Shoppers Are Older, Poorer Than You Thought
Retailers love two things in a customer base: youth and money. Shoppers at J.C. Penney's are short on both.
Nearly half the people shopping at Penney's 1,100 or so stores are older than 55, according to a February survey by Prosper Business Development, a market research company in Ohio. In comparison, only one-quarter of Target customers fall into that demographic. At closer competitors, Kohl's and Macy's, just 36 percent of customers are on the north side of age 55.
What about youth—the folks who will be shopping for decades and have yet to buy nice sheets or expensive food processors? No luck there, either. Only 20 percent of Penney's customers are under the age of 35, while some 29 percent of the crowd at Macy's and 36 percent of Target's customers fall in that camp.
What's more, the older folks at Penney's aren't, by and large, the country-club set. Only 13 percent of its shoppers have an annual household income of more than $100,000, according to the Prosper data. Kohl's, Target, and Macy's better that result handily. At the other end of the spectrum, 29 percent of Penney's customers make less than $35,000 a year, compared with 19 percent at Kohl's and 20 percent at Macy's.
Plenty of companies make handsome returns selling to older, less-affluent shoppers, but they succeed because they know their demographic sweet spot.
The data illustrate clearly two things about Penney's shoppers: 1) They are relatively price sensitive; 2) they are probably more set in their shopping ways than customers at discount stores or competing department stores.
In other words, it's not surprising that Ron Johnson's plan to nix sales and pivot the brand alienated his customer base.

Michael Hayden On Why 'Measure for Measure's Angelo Isn't a Villain
The Public Theater couldn't have hoped for a more topical opening night play for Shakespeare in the Park. Amid rumors of certain politicians sending inappropriate pictures over social media, the Public stages the first preview of "Measure for Measure," a play that focuses on the demarcation between the public and private lives of Vienna's citizens. Stage and TV veteran Michael Hayden plays Angelo, the hypocritical antagonist who takes the reins of power and finds governing more trouble than he expected. Speakeasy caught up with Hayden to discuss the character, the similarities between this play and real life and why he'll continue to do Shakespeare.
The Wall Street Journal: Some actors like playing the villain. Are you one of them?
Michael Hayden: Of course I don't perceive him as the villain. But I'm absolutely aware of why he's perceived that way. I like complicated characters; they're the most fun to play. My only goal with characters like this to make them human. Not to make them sympathetic or worry that they're redemptive. That's not my concern. My goal is to portray a human being so the audience can't separate themselves and say, "look at that creature, how can they do that?"
So you're not trying to make Angelo a sympathetic character.
When I hear sympathetic, it speaks to the trap of trying to make him likable or empathetic. That's not my job. My job is to create a man who has an enormous mask he shows to the world. He thinks he's above being affected by a woman. Then this nun comes into his presence who is not anything what he expects – he expects a whimpering, crying woman – and she cracks his underbelly. She's this moral powerhouse. I think he believes he loves her. That's how it can be perceived on the outside. Of course, judging from the outside, he lusts after her – it's a real dilemma for him. He's a man who operates from the mind, so to be hit viscerally by this woman is a cataclysmic event.
The play is pretty relevant right now, insofar as it explores the public and private aspects of human nature and politics.
It's profoundly relevant. We have people in power who show themselves to be upright moral men and in their personal lives are driven by such uncontrollable lust and greed. The difference between their personal and public personas is extraordinary and perverse. You see Schwarzenegger and all these politicians who profess to be beacons of family values and Christianity. In the play, Angelo believes he's above it all. To have a man who doesn't acknowledge his only hypocrisy but falls into it, that's a fantastic maze to figure out. And try to craft and portray.
You're performing "Measure for Measure" and "All's Well That Ends Well" in repertory. Do you find that taxing?
Having played both Richard and Henry in rep, this workload is nothing. You get to go back and forth. There's a happy ending in "All's Well," it's much more lush and beautiful. Though I guess this ends well for Angelo, too, no thanks to him.
Let's talk about that ending.
I would think that the ending would piss a lot of people off. Isabella getting to her knees and praying for that man, I find that extraordinary. For many it's unpalatable, but it's a profound type of forgiveness — forgiving someone who doesn't deserve it.
The powerhouses in these plays are the women. Isabella is a complicated character – many modern audiences would say, why wouldn't you sleep with Angelo to save your brother? But in that period, she would damning her own soul and her brothers if he cooperated in that decision. It's a much more profound problem than modern audiences perceive it as.
What you really want is for people to come down in different ways. One person would be livid at the ending, another will admire it. I don't think many will come down on Angelo's side.
Do you think Shakespeare had collaborators? Does it matter for you if he did?
Nothing I've studied has led me to believe that's true. I think many scholars find it inconceivable that a man who was uneducated could possibly have written this plays. It was almost 300 years after his death that anyone came out and questioned whether he had written them so it was taken as an assumption. I don't give much credence to the questioning and it also doesn't interest me. I take the plays as they are.
Is there ideal stage character you'd like to portray?
I never know until I'm offered my next job. I never know they are the ones I want to play until I get to play them. But I would like to play all the greats who really task you, like Hamlet and Macbeth.
You played Christian in "Festen" on Broadway in 2006. What was that like?
It's one of the most unpleasant roles I've ever played. In so many American plays you go in the dark night of the soul and there's redemption at the end. This play was just relentless. Even the next morning, it's still taut. Nothing is completely resolved. It ends on a completely minor, unresolved key. There's no release, no catharsis. Well, there's a catharsis but it doesn't solve anything. It's very un-American – we like things to be wrapped up. It was a wrenching role.
Had you seen the movie before you acted in it? How well do you think it transferred to the stage?
I thought it was wonderfully realized. Stage is such a different language. You can't get inside the way the camera can, but I still thought the story came through. It just comes through in a more theatrical way.
Lady Gaga recently sent pizza and donuts for the fans who waited in line to see her SNL concert. Would you do that for the people lining up for Shakespeare in the Park?
Oh my god. We better give them a good show. Ill talk to the Public see if they'll put something out there.
Lemonade would be nice. What would you like to do next, another play or a TV project?
I prefer it to be a TV project or film project. As I said to my agent, my artistic credits continue to rise and my bank account continues to fall. Peter Marks in the Washington Post asked why an American actor, who's not already an established film or TV star, be interested in tackling the great roles? Commercially it doesn't necessarily translate into other jobs because it's Shakespeare. So what's the impetus? You want to be challenged by something greater than yourself. This work is the hardest challenge I've faced. I've done everything and there's nothing harder.

Definition of superheat in English:
verb[with object]
1Heat (a liquid) under pressure above its boiling point without vaporization.
Example sentences
- Water below the surface is not directly exposed to the atmosphere and can remain a liquid as it superheats above this temperature.
- The nonstop operation also tends to superheat oil used in equipment, breaking down its viscosity.
1.1Heat (a vapor) above its temperature of saturation.
Example sentences
- It is common ground that superheating of the fuel gas was necessary.
- For decades, steelmakers have used highly polluting ovens to turn powdery coal and iron ore into chunks called coke and sinter, which are melted with superheated air to make iron.
- They processed starch and an oil, such as soy oil, together in superheated steam under pressure and noted the unusual nature of a gel that came out of the jet cooker.
The excess of temperature of a vapor above its temperature of saturation.
Example sentences
- Mold conditions, pouring rate, and other process variables being equal, the fluidity of commercial gray irons depends primarily on the amount of superheat above the freezing temperature (liquidus).
- More importantly, propane will vaporize and absorb superheat at low ambient temperatures - not possible with water.
- The gas from the two dedicated Zechstein wells is currently of sufficiently high pressure to drive the turbine. A fuel gas heater is being used to supply superheat to the gas.
- Example sentences
- Firstly, they were in regular service for 20 years with nothing more drastic than the provision of standard boilers and superheaters.
- Larger superheaters and eventually double chimneys were aids to improved performance over the years.
- At a convenient high point above the water level is the regulator valve, which admits steam to a main steam pipe carrying it forward to the smokebox and then through the superheater, and so to the cylinders.
