Long's Chapel to host special Easter service
Charitable giving has long been linked with the Christmas season — the time when God shared the greatest gift of all time through the birth of his son, Jesus.
But seldom has the outpouring of financial generosity been linked with Easter — the time when Christ gave his life so all may live.
At Long's Chapel United Methodist Church, that will change this Easter.
"On the most-attended Sunday of the year, the church will be taking an offering in which the entirety of the offering will go to two local projects, Circles of Hope and Lifeworks, and a global project, building a school in Ketali, Kenya," said senior pastor Dr. Charles "Chuck" W. Wilson II.
Not only is "Operation Outreach" a radical step with the potential to significantly change lives for the better, it provides a chance for the greater Haywood community to participate.
While Long's Chapel typically holds four worship services each Sunday, Easter Sunday will be a little different.
This year marks the sixth year where all members of the 150-year old church gather for a single service at Lake Junaluska's Stuart Auditorium. While the service will begin at 10:25 a.m., guests are invited to come early for coffee and fellowship at 9:30 a.m.
"On a given Sunday morning, people gather from all over the region to participate in this transforming fellowship where we grow to love God, love people and live sent," said Wilson.
In addition to the special Easter service planned for April 20, those filling the largest auditorium in the county can know their contribution will exclusively support crucial ministries.
The goal is to raise $50,000 in both 2014 and 2015, in part through the Easter donations, to help individuals escape poverty through Circles of Hope and Lifeworks, and to help children in both Nairobi and Kitalie, Kenya.
For more information about the Long's Chapel UMC Easter Service or any other Long's Chapel UMC programs, visit www.longschapel.com or call 456-3993.

A man armed with an air pistol robbed a betting shop in Prestwich.
He threatened staff at the Betfred premises, on Bury New Road, with the weapon and stole a small amount of cash.
The air pistol was left at the scene but it was not fired and nobody was injured.
The robber fled on foot before getting on to a bicycle and he rode off in the direction of Butterstile Lane.
Armed officers were sent to the scene as a precaution after the incident which took place shortly before 11am on Friday, December 21.
The offender is described as a white man, in his early to mid-30s, 6ft tall and of a gangly build. He was wearing a black jacket, a woollen hat, a black scarf and large sunglasses.
Police are now appealing to anyone who has information about the robbery to come forward.
Detective Constable Andrew Pidd, of Bury CID, said: "Although this weapon was not fired, and turned out to be an air pistol, these firearms look so real there is no way the staff inside the store could have suspected it was anything other than a genuine gun, and were understandably scared.
"We therefore need to trace this man and bring him to justice.
"I would appeal to anyone who has information about this robbery, or perhaps thinks they know who might be involved, to call us.
"If you saw this man fleeing the bookmakers, or perhaps riding the bicycle as he made his escape, then we need to hear from you."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 8210 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

|Holding cells at Huntsville Prison where death-row
inmates spend their last hours. The execution
chamber is located at the far end of the corridor.
Owing to its size and inclinations, Texas registers prodigious statistics, but none so bleak as what comes from the state's pre-Civil War red-brick prison in Huntsville that houses the nation's busiest execution chamber.
There, on Wednesday, Texas' 500th execution since national reinstatement is set to be carried out. The life scheduled for termination belongs to Kimberly McCarthy, whose grisly murder of elderly neighbor Dorothy Booth of Lancaster brings the state to this grim milestone.
It's one that no other state may ever touch. Virginia, 2nd in terms of executions, is barely a 5th of the way there, and the pace of capital punishment has slowed nationwide, even in Texas.
Part of that has to do with a collective shudder at the realities of a fallible criminal-justice system. Part of it has to do with a growing list of states - now at 18 - that have abolished the death penalty. Part of it has to do with a willingness to pause and take an unflinching look at the system and why it singles out some killers to die and others to live.
In Ohio, the 8th-ranking capital-punishment state, a special commission appointed by the state Supreme Court is now doing that self-examination. It was galvanized by a report that showed the likelihood of being executed depended on where a killer committed his crime and who he killed. Defendants paid a disproportionately higher price in Cincinnati, for example, as opposed to Cleveland and other major cities. Killers of whites were far likelier to face execution than killers of blacks.
Unevenness in capital punishment is also a blemish on the Texas record. Again, geography and race count - among the reasons that this newspaper opposes capital punishment.
Of Texas' 254 counties, only 22 have sent killers to death row in the previous 5 years, and only 11 have done so in the previous 2, according to an analysis from the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. A death case is too time-consuming and expensive for many counties to take on.
Studies indicate that the race of the victim and murderer likely produce different outcomes in Texas, from decisions made by jurors to convict and by prosecutors to bring charges. Of the 46 death verdicts in the past 5 years, 21 defendants were black.
It's time, in Texas, for our own unflinching self-exam on the system of sending people to the death chamber.
That's especially important for Dallas County, which is suddenly notable as Texas' leading county for new death sentences, with 8 in the previous 5 years.
The McCarthy case, the potential 500th execution, dredges up this county's sketchy history of racially discriminatory jury selection. New briefs in the case cite findings by this newspaper that, as recently as 2005 - 3 years after the McCarthy trial - Dallas County prosecutors excluded eligible blacks from juries at more than twice the rate they rejected eligible whites.
McCarthy is not a sympathetic character, and her culpability in a brutal murder is not at issue. Still, in the grim business of seeking an eye for an eye, Texas must insist on a fair, dispassionate, even-handed, colorblind justice system. It's not the one we have today.
Executions since national resumption in 1976:
Texas: 499
Virginia: 110
Oklahoma: 104
Florida :77
Missouri: 68
Alabama :55
Georgia: 53
Ohio :51
North Carolina: 43
South Carolina: 43

It's time to halt executions in Texas
The figure 500 is sobering, particularly when it is applied to people and their deaths.
On Wednesday evening, barring intervention by a court or the governor, Texas will carry out its 500th death sentence since capital punishment was reinstated in 1974.
Between 1924 (when the state took charge of executions from its counties) and 1964, the start of a decade-long moratorium, the Lone Star State performed 361 killings by electrocution.
Texas has the bragging rights for its frequency of ultimate punishment, leading the nation even though other states have more inmates on death row.
These large numbers represent people, individuals with names who, although convicted of horrible crimes and deserving punishment, should not have their deaths determined by flawed human beings acting in the name of the state.
Kimberly McCarthy, if her sentence is carried out shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday, will have the distinction of being that 500th person (and only the 4th woman) to be executed in Texas since the death penalty was reinstated.
It is time - in fact, long past - for Texas to get out of the killing business.
A character in an 1889 short story, The Bet by Anton Chekhov, makes a compelling argument during a dinner party debate on capital punishment. He boldly states, "The State is not God. It has no right to take away that which it cannot give back, if it should so desire."
On moral grounds alone, Texas should abolish capital punishment as six other states have done in the last 6 years. Maryland become the most recent in May.
Just as the Supreme Court declared in 1972, the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment, and its application continues to be arbitrary and capricious.
Whether a killer receives a death sentence can vary according to many factors, including the county where the crime occurs. The costs of prosecuting such cases and providing court-appointed lawyers are too high for some counties to absorb. Poor rural counties are less likely than large urban ones to seek the death penalty.
Death row tends to be occupied by the poor, as rich people seldom are sent there. And minorities are over-represented. Of the 283 people on Texas's death row, 39.2 % are black, 29.7 % are Hispanic and 29.7 % are white, state figures show.
Although no one is certain that an innocent person has ever been executed, Texas has an embarrassing record of wrongful conviction, as evidenced by the number of recent prisoner exonerations.
Progress has been made on limiting executions in certain cases, and in reducing the overall number of capital cases and death sentences. For example, recent Supreme Court rulings prohibit the execution of the mentally ill and people who were under age 18 when the crime was committed. After 2005, when Texas began allowing prison sentences of life without parole in capital cases, jurors have been more inclined to hand down that sentence instead of death.
Although a Gallup poll shows 63 % of Americans still favor capital punishment, the number of executions has dropped by more than 1/2 in the past 15 years, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
Texas executed 15 people last year, compared to 40 in 2000. McCarthy, convicted of robbing and murdering a 70-year-old Dallas woman, would become the 8th person to die by lethal injection this year. 7 other executions are scheduled through November.
Proponents of the death penalty argue that it is the appropriate punishment for people who take a life, often in the most heinous way.
The victims, they say, deserve justice, and killing their killers is the best way to mete it out.
Abolishing capital punishment would neither demean the memory of victims nor deny any of them justice. Instead, it would make our society as a whole more just, more morally consistent and certainly more humane.
Texas retired "Old Sparky," its electric chair, in 1977.
It is time to permanently close our infamous death chamber.

I love dishes that you can throw together at a moment's notice using only your store cupboard ingredients. Granola is one of the dishes that fits this bill nicely . In a matter of minutes, you can make a sweet and fuel busting breakfast. When your preferred fruit or nut isn't available you can alternate with different varieties. Here, I have used walnuts and dried cherries but blueberries and almonds also work well together.
I've served the granola here with fresh figs, yoghurt and Greek honey but I also take it with just a splash of cold milk.
A sweet, crunchy, nutty breakfast
- 225g of porridge oats
- 80g of dried cherries
- 60g of walnuts, roughly chopped
- 60ml of maple syrup
- 50ml unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Mix oats and walnuts in a bowl together.
- Combine the maple syrup and melted butter in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Turn off heat.
- Put the oat mixture into the saucepan and ensure all the oats are coated with syrupy mixture. The ingredients should bind easily together. Add more maple syrup, if necessary
- Bake in the oven in a wide and shallow tray for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the dried cherries to the oat mixture and stir together. Bake until the mixture is golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes longer
Mix up the granola with different nuts and dried fruit.
What could be easier to make?

Outdoor workers battle the cold
With the onset of extreme cold temperatures, many workers in the area are fortunate to have jobs that keep them in a heated building or car, but that is not the case for some workers.
Lee Bundy is the facilities operator for the city of Backus. His responsibilities include city streets, parks, water systems and sewer systems. He spends much of his winter in a vehicle or out in the cold.
"We put up decorations for the winter. We also plow and shovel snow to keep the parking lots open, so when it's winter we don't get to sit inside. We keep going," Bundy said.
Bundy and his crew sometimes go out three times during a single snowstorm to keep up with plowing and shoveling.
"We call ourselves out. If we get more than two inches of snow, and it depends upon how it's going to fall, we usually go out at 3 o'clock in the morning," Bundy said. "We try to get the streets cleared and the parking lots cleared."
To clear the streets entirely can take up to eight hours.
Bundy and his crew also spend time outside in the cold checking city sewer and water lines when residents call. On Dec. 16, Bundy and crew members worked hours in the cold to replace a local lift station pump.
"You've got to take your time, and when you get cold you've got to go sit in the truck and warm up a little bit. You just have to watch for safety. You have to watch for traffic so they don't run you over, and you have to watch how cold you're getting," Bundy said.
Ted Strand, director of Crosslake's public works department, has also had lift station issues. The recent sub-zero temperatures have caused him problems.
On Monday, Dec. 9, he found himself working on a lift station for the city's sewer system at 1:30 in the morning. It was so cold that the system's computers were failing and the station wasn't working properly. The heater it has just wasn't keeping up, he said.
"Somebody's got to do it so you just dress accordingly," Strand said.
An automated system calls his phone whenever there's a malfunction on the sewer lift stations. If the station hadn't been fixed, sewage could have backed up into a home, Strand said.
But fixing the station was no easy task.
"It's tough to do anything with gloves on," Strand said, offering similar advice as Bundy: "You just have to work a little, then go warm up. You just have to work smart in it."
So far he's had three calls from three separate lift stations that weren't working properly because of the cold.
The cold also affects the city's snowplows. The hydraulics that lift the plow blades up and down don't work as well in the extreme cold temperatures, and diesel fuel can gel.
There are additives that are put into the fuel holding tanks to help keep the fuel from gelling, but Strand said that even those don't work well if it gets too cold.
The salt the city puts down on the roads doesn't melt the ice in low temperatures, Strand said. The city and county have to wait for a warm-up in order for the salt to take effect. In the meantime the department scatters sand, but Strand said it often bounces off the ice.
John Monnier, wastewater supervisor in Breezy Point, said the department waits until spring as much as possible to do outdoor work, but when they do work outside they always bring extra gloves and clothing.
In low temperatures, private septic systems are also at a risk of freezing, said Rick Smith, owner and president of Northland Septic.
Smith said freezeup calls are common, especially during cold winters with little or no snow. On top of that, they can be called at any time.
"Most of the work we do in the winter time is for emergencies. It's not necessarily for maintenance, so a lot of the times we're dealing with people who are having a problem," Smith said. "We get called out at any time or weather condition, so we have to be prepared for anything. We have heated valves and things like that on our trucks to try to keep the freezing limited on our vehicles, but winter is hard."
During cold snaps, water lines, septic lines and septic tanks can freeze, and Smith's crew must then use pressurized hot water to fix the problem. To make an already messy job worse, this work can rarely be done in the comfort of a heated home.
"I would say that most of the lines we open we can get open within one to two hours. It's almost always done outside," Smith said.
Outdoor workers agreed that being prepared is key.
"We dress in layers, dress in a lot of clothing and try to be as safe as we can," Smith said.

EA has promised to unveil their Medal of Honor reboot at the Spike TV 2009 Video Game Awards on December 12, giving us our first look into what they claim will be the most realistic modern war experience to date. Given that Modern Warfare 2 – Medal of Honor's main competition – is hardly a realistic war sim, it will be interesting to see if the new MoH will be simply a Modern Warfare ripoff, or if they plan on actually going with a more simulator style to the game.
Given that they keep pushing the fact that they are working with actual 'Tier 1 Operators' from the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), it seems they might be going for realism. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with to re-gain a foothold in the FPS genre after not having released any installments to the series since 2007. Medal of Honor hit it big with gamers everywhere before the first Call of Duty even existed but in recent years, they've fallen flat while Activision's development teams have been pumping out new CoD games annually.
Unfortunately, until they unveil it at the VGAs we have little to go on at the moment. What we do know is that you play as a member of SOCOM's Tier 1 Operators, the most elite of America's soldiers in Afghanistan. Presumably you would be fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban, though whether they opt for a fictional enemy is something we'll have to wait to hear about. We also have the cover art, which seems to show the operator that the player will be taking the role of:
One way they can compete is by correcting and implementing features that Call of Duty fans didn't get in MW2: co-op gameplay on the campaign, a 4-player Horde Mode/Spec Ops/Nazi Zombies-type mode, dedicated servers for PC multiplayer users, etc. Since the Battlefield's DICE team is handling them multiplayer, we can expect the dedicated servers.
Are you excited for the new Medal of Honor and the franchise's return? Can it compete against the Call of Duty franchise?
This new Medal of Honor is set to release sometime next year on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and we know Call of Duty: World at War 2 will be out next Fall as well.

focus on eliminating the test team, they focus on doing a more effective and efficient job of testing with the resources they already have.
And Context Matters, Too
The last two articles have run the risk of making you think that all the matters is testing prowess, picking the right techniques and tools. But that's not true. Context matters. When do we start testing? Who does the testing, and what makes them a fit? Does the test team understand where they fit into the project, and vice versa? In the next article, we'll look at the importance of context through a topic I call pervasive testing.

Wisconsin Conservation Congress: A voice for the public
Rothschild — In the field of conservation, Wisconsin is unique among states.
In 1927 the state was the first in the nation to establish a commission — now called the Department of Natural Resources — to manage fish and wildlife.
The move was on the leading edge of science-based wildlife management in the U.S., a renaissance that led to recoveries of deer, elk, bear, turkey and waterfowl populations, to name a handful.
But our forebears recognized the public needed a role, too.
"In the final analysis, no matter what the commission or department believes to be in the best interests of the state, if the citizenry are not in accord, any program set up would eventually be doomed to failure," stated a 1927 conservation commission report. "The birds, animals and fish belong to the people of the state."
Just seven years later, the state Legislature authorized a citizen advisory committee to work with the conservation commission.
Thus, in 1934 the group we know as the Wisconsin Conservation Congress was born.
It was the first citizens' group in the nation to be given a state-mandated role in natural resource management.
The congress convened Thursday in Schofield for its 80th annual convention.
The event was attended by about 350 county delegates, more than a dozen Department of Natural Resources representatives and the state's executive in chief.
Gov. Scott Walker addressed the group Friday afternoon.
The meeting included the usual agenda of committee reports, review of citizen resolutions, election of officers and debate on its official positions on conservation issues.
Given the milestone birthday, the gathering also included a little reflection.
"It's a tremendous legacy of public involvement," said Steve Oestreicher of Harshaw, who served as congress chairman from 1998 to 2006. "And it's going to continue for a long time to come."
Oestreicher, 63, is no longer a delegate but is still very interested in Wisconsin conservation issues.
The congress' role of advising the DNR and Natural Resources Board was established in state statute in 1972.
"When you consider the dysfunction at the national and local political scene, it makes the work of the congress that much more impressive," Oestreicher said. "This body is probably the finest form of democracy around."
As chairman Rob Bohmann went through a list of advisory questions Friday, representatives from the 72 county delegations raised paddles to vote on issues.
The delegates were representing positions of voters at April meetings in each of the state's 72 counties.
The meetings are held to gather public input on matters of fishing, hunting, outdoor recreation and the environment.
Like any organization, the congress has been criticized over the years. Some feel it is an "old boys club" and has not represented the general Wisconsin citizenry.
But its process is open to the public. In recent years, more non-traditional candidates have run for and been elected as delegates.
The group, too, has instituted computerized voting at county meetings and completed a strategic plan to cover the next decade.
And it has created the Youth Conservation Congress to encourage additional participation by younger state residents.
"We need to get more young people involved in all outdoors activities and issues," Oestreicher said. "And the congress is. I think it is on the right path and will be around for a long, long time."
Congress elections: The Wisconsin Conservation Congress elected its top officials for the next year. They are: Bohmann, of Racine, chairman; Larry Bonde of Kiel, vice chairman; Joe Weiss of Spooner, secretary; Jayne Meyer of Madison, public relations officer; and Alan Suchla of Arcadia, historian.
Turkey harvest up: The Wisconsin wild turkey population appears to have emerged in decent shape from the very severe winter of 2013-'14.
Through the first three hunting periods of the 2014 spring season, hunters have registered more turkeys statewide than they did in 2011, 2012 or 2013.
Compared to last year (also a rough winter), the turkey harvest is up 31% statewide, including higher totals in each of the seven management zones.
Scott Walter and Krista McGinley of the DNR on Thursday issued a report with preliminary registration data. The 2014 statewide turkey harvest through three periods is 27,138 birds, up from 20,622 in 2013.
The breakdown by zone is: Zone 1 8,385 in 2014 (6,514 in 2013); Zone 2 6,250 (4,519); Zone 3 7,280 (5,556); Zone 4 3,400 (2,415); Zone 5 1,254 (1,083); Zone 6 354 (336); Zone 7 215 (199).
"These numbers provide a positive indicator for wildlife managers and hunters that the state's turkeys came through the winter in fair to good shape, even in the north where the weather was particularly harsh," the wildlife biologists said by email.
As is well-documented, weather is the primary driver of turkey populations. And though winter mortality is important, the most critical factor determining turkey numbers is weather during nesting and brood rearing in spring and early summer. Cold, wet weather in May and June reduces production and survival of poults.
Although the DNR canceled leftover hunting permits in northern zones, tags are still available in zones 1, 3 and 4. Visit the DNR website or a license sales outlet to purchase a permit.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine spent part of his morning rounds watching shortstop prospect Jose Iglesias taking grounders. when he managed the Mets, Valentine had Rey Ordonez (the offensively deficient, three-time Gold Glover) to whom Iglesias is often compared. Defensively, Valentine's initial glimpse suggested that such praise for Iglesias' defense had merit.
"My first impression ... is that he can catch it. I bet you he can throw it after he catches it, too," Valentine said of Iglesias. "I did see similarities with Rey Ordonez in ball-glove action. Initially, it looked like he had more range than Rey."
While there are no questions about the excellence of Iglesias' glove, however, like Ordonez, there are questions about the 22-year-old's offense. Ordonez had the lowest career OPS (.600) of any player with at least 3,000 plate appearances in the last 20 years. A year ago, as a 21-year-old in Triple-A, Iglesias had the worst OPS (.554) of anyone in the International League while hitting .235 with a .285 OBP.
Asked whether the Sox could afford to receive no offense from their starting shortstop in the AL East, Valentine acknowledged, "Probably not. My fast brain says, probably not." (The "fast brain" reference was to Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow.")
"I didn't do a very good job of developing Rey into an offensive player. Maybe I can learn from what I didn't do. That was a challenge to get offensive production out of Rey Ordonez," said Valentine. "Rey wasn't a very receptive person. Rey didn't adapt or receive well. It seems that Jose would be a little different than that."
The Ordonez experience was an interesting one to consider for Valentine, given the extreme defensive contribution he made and the extreme hole he created in the lineup. Even now, Valentine did not have a definitive conclusion about Ordonez's value.
"It was a struggle and I think it hurt us and his defense might have helped us. I'm not sure. I bet it did," Valentine mused. "I didn't have a lot of alternatives."
Asked whether he could be convinced to live with any offensive limitations Iglesias might have as he continues his development, Valentine was non-commital, noting that he doesn't yet know the young shortstop.
"It's a different world, a different situation," said Valentine. "Would I do the same thing with Jose? It's a different world."

Back When Things Went Right — Part Two

The Pirates were one of MLB's dominant franchises in the 1970s. Their record that decade included two world championships, six division titles, three second-place finishes, and one third-place finish. With the exception of the 1973 team, which went 80-82 in the wake of Roberto Clemente's tragic death, their worst record was 88-74 in 1974, and they still won the division.
The 1970s teams started off with a strong core from the Pirates teams of the early and mid-1960s in Clemente, Willie Stargell, Bill Mazeroski and Steve Blass, but the team's success was built on a long run of top-flight production from its farm system. In fact, while frustrated fans often accuse today's Pirates of serving as a farm system for other teams, that was far more true o...

JFK Assassination[edit]
On November 24, just two days after the assassination of President Kennedy, the NFL played its normal schedule of games. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle said about playing the games: "It has been traditional in sports for athletes to perform in times of great personal tragedy. Football was Mr. Kennedy's game. He thrived on competition."[1] Attendance at games went unaffected despite the assassination.[2][3]
However, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins had sought postponement of the games.[4][5] Eventually, the game between the two teams in Philadelphia saw acts of kindness from both sides. Before the game, each of the Eagles players contributed $50 to the family of Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit, who was killed by the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.[6] After the game ended, players on the Redskins asked Coach Bill McPeak to send the game ball to the White House, thanking Rozelle for allowing the games to be played that weekend,[6] saying that they were "playing...for President Kennedy and in his memory

President Hussein bin-Obama marked the 36th anniversary of the most bone-headed decision in Supreme Court history by confiscating more taxpayer dollars to send overseas in the fight to kill as many babies as possible. From FOXNews:
President Obama will issue an executive order on Thursday reversing the Bush administration policy that bans the use of federal dollars by non-govermental organizations that discuss or provide abortions outside of the United States.
Obama will sign the executive order on the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in all 50 states.
The policy, known in governmental circles as the "Mexico City policy," requires any non-governmental organization to agree before receiving U.S. funds that they will "neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations."
The language was announced at the United Nations International Conference on Population in 1984, and was approved by President Reagan and originally drafted by his assistant secretary of state, Alan Keyes. Keyes ran unsuccessfully as the GOP nominee against Obama for the U.S. Senate in 2004.
President George Herbert Walker Bush continued Reagan's Mexico City policy.
President Bill Clinton issued an executive order lifting the ban on Jan. 22, 1993. President George W. Bush issued an executive order re-instating the ban on federal dollars for NGOs that discuss or provide abortions on Jan. 22, 2001.
Planned Butchery is hailing this decision, since it will drastically benefit their bottom line.

Ex-Cat held in US
Page Tools
Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, performing in Cape Town last year. Photo: Reuters
A plane bound for Washington from London was diverted to Maine after passenger Yusuf Islam - formerly known as pop singer Cat Stevens - showed up on a US watch list, federal officials said.
United Airlines Flight 919 had already taken off from London en route to Dulles International Airport yesterday when the match was made between the passenger and the watch list, said Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The plane was met by federal agents at Maine's Bangor International Airport around 3pm, Melendez said.
Federal officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified the individual as Islam. He was travelling with his daughter.
Passengers, including British pop veterans Marillion, were at first told the diversion was due to refuelling and eventually arrived in Washington six hours late.
Islam, who was denied access to Israel four years ago, was detained and questioned, the TSA said. His 21-year-old daughter was allowed into the US.
A TSA spokeswoman said he was refused entry under the Immigration and Naturalisation Act "based on national security grounds".
The spokeswoman added: "ICE and the FBI were notified and they did interview the subject who was travelling with his 21-year-old daughter."
"His daughter was admitted to the United States. He is being detained pending his return to the United Kingdom on the first available flight."
Another official said Islam, 56, was identified by the Advanced Passenger Information System, which requires airlines to send passenger information to US Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Centre.
TSA was then contacted and requested that the plane land at the nearest airport, the official said.
Islam, who was born Stephen Georgiou, took Cat Stevens as a stage name and had a string of hits in the 1960s and 70s, including Wild World and Morning Has Broken.
Last year he released two songs, including a rerecording of his 70s hit Peace Train, to express his opposition to the US-led war in Iraq.
He abandoned his music career in the late 1970s and changed his name after being persuaded by orthodox Muslim teachers that his lifestyle was forbidden by Islamic law. He later became a teacher and an advocate for his religion, founding a Muslim school in London in 1983.
Speaking from Bangor, Marillion singer Steve Hogarth, 45, told PA News: "We flew today on Flight 919 to Washington Dulles en route to Mexico City where we have two shows.
"At 1453 (Eastern Time), the plane touched down. As it touched down, an announcement was made by the stewardess that we were not landing in Washington because of bad weather.
"Then there was an announcement made by the captain saying they stopped to refuel. But after another period, of about 10 minutes, the captain made another announcement saying it was, in fact, an FBI security alert.
"We all had to get off the plane," Hogarth said.
Passengers then went through immigration and Hogarth was warned not to use his camera.
He said: "This was pretty peculiar and I had wanted to record it for my diary."
"I then met a security guard who said the two people escorted off the plane were Cat Stevens and his daughter.
"I was really stunned. Everybody knows he converted to the Muslim faith. He is a pacifist and a great songwriter," Hogarth said.
Islam recently condemned the school seizure by militants in Beslan, Russia, earlier this month that left more than 300 dead, nearly half of them children.
In a statement on his Web site, he wrote, "Crimes against innocent bystanders taken hostage in any circumstance have no foundation whatsoever in the life of Islam and the model example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him."
In July 2000, Islam was denied entry to Israel amid reports that he had donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Islamic terrorist group Hamas.
In a statement released by his record label Universal Music at the time, he said: "I want to make sure that people are aware that I've never ever knowingly supported any terrorist groups - past, present or future."

Transformation Blog: Priority No. 1 – Back-Office Automation
By Kieren McCobb
Reason dictates that explaining the transformation of our agency's operation to anything different would first be well served by describing what's being changed. Reporting what's going on will occur mostly as it happens; I'll state what we're doing and then what we're looking to change, and why.
Our New Jersey office tends to do more traditional consulting while the Pennsylvania office is tremendously adept at TEM. The Pennsylvania office also has a thriving subagent practice. All peripheral services, such as TEM studies and RFP creation, bring in network service accounts and each is a nice profit center.
At present we use common methods to conduct business – scanning, e-mail and doing as much online as possible. We try to minimize paper and store documents digitally, fax is a diminishing occurrence. Our back office runs smoothly at present, but we're growing both organically and through alliances.
But perhaps the best benefit to our efforts would be cradle-to-grave automation of all things relevant to a customer – from initial acquisition, and how we targeted that customer, through needs documentation, pricing, proposal generation and contract necessities and transmitting to the carrier. Then, perhaps we also would include auditing pricing and compensation against carrier statements and commission runs. Start-to-finish handling like this can be automated to a great degree using different systems, so we still perform our due diligence.
We've looked at a number of these over the last several years. They've come way down in price and capabilities have increased. John and I strongly favor hosted services when possible, including automating the back office. We're presently as electronic as physics allows, but acquiring a software tool to possibly eliminate some steps and make the flow of customer lifecycle smoother interests us. VENDORS TAKE NOTE: We would like to see more. For example, most systems are amazingly lacking the CRM tools. Can you add it on as a module or integrate with, for example, Microsoft common apps, Salesforce, Goldmine, etc. This way we have tracking right down to the decision-maker's birthdate.
It's only a matter of time before we implement something, and we'll describe the process for you in upcoming blogs.

Man City 5-0 Barnsley
- From the section Football
Carlos Tevez hit a superb hat-trick as Manchester City outclassed Barnsley to march into the FA Cup semi-finals.
The Argentine striker, who was arrested on suspicion of motoring offences on Thursday, did not allow his off-field problems to distract him as he helped City brush aside their struggling Championship opponents.
Tevez scored three goals and made two more in a one-sided contest where the gulf in class between the Premier League champions and the team at the bottom of the Championship was always apparent.
City's title defence remains on the rocks, but the 2011 Cup winners will return to Wembley next month full of confidence after strolling into the last four of a competition that provides their only realistic chance of silverware this season.
From the start, City were too quick and too clever for the Tykes, who played with a packed defence but were often left chasing shadows.
Barnsley boss David Flitcroft and his players were hoping for a repeat of their famous wins over Liverpool and Chelsea on the way to the semi-finals in 2008 but in reality never came close to pulling off another shock.
City took the lead after 11 minutes when Barnsley's defenders failed to read Yaya Toure's clever chipped pass and Tevez mopped up from close range after David Silva volleyed against the post.
Barnsley were working hard just to contain their hosts but that strategy collapsed with two goals in four minutes either side of the half-hour mark.
Tevez escaped down the right to send in a low cross that found Aleksandar Kolarov arriving late to bury a skidding first-time finish.
And Kolarov turned provider soon after, with his delivery helped on by Silva for Tevez to turn and slam his shot past helpless Barnsley keeper Luke Steele from close range.
By now, City's fans were singing about going to Wembley and Tevez made sure that they would be making that trip when he completed his hat-trick four minutes after the break.
Samir Nasri advanced down the left by-line and pulled the ball back for Tevez to coolly sweep it into the opposite corner of the net.
Roberto Mancini's men were so dominant it took Barnsley close to an hour to bring a meaningful save from Costel Pantilimon, with substitute Jacob Mellis firing in a dipping shot that had the giant City keeper scrambling to his left.
City have not conceded a goal in the FA Cup this season, but Pantilimon had to do some more work to preserve that record, denying Ryan Tunnicliffe with his foot after the on-loan Manchester United midfielder surged clear.
But City still looked capable of scoring at will and increased their advantage with their next attack, which was started on the halfway line by Silva.
The Spaniard finished the move too, seeing his initial shot saved by Steele but following up to convert the rebound himself.
Barnsley's fans kept singing until the bitter end but their season now reverts to a relegation battle.
For City, what has been a disappointing campaign in the Premier League and Europe could still end with them lifting a trophy in May.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini on Carlos Tevez:
"It is important that he continues to score because we need his goals in this period of the season, and also for the FA Cup.
"I don't know what will happen in the summer. Carlos has another year on his contract but many times he has said he wants to go back to Argentina."
Barnsley manager David Flitcroft on Tevez:
"It is his power and his explosion and his movement which is incredible. He is a ghost.
"After the game, our players have spoken about getting close to him in the box and what they are saying is that he just pulls off and then produces a shot on target which is a goal.
"But I was impressed with all of City's players. They are a team that has everything. We tried to get in them and around them and tried to get near them and we couldn't."

What size do you cut your binding? Is 2 1/2 standard?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What size do you cut your binding? Is 2 1/2 standard?
I think that 2.5 is standard...I've been doing it at 3 inches - I like it better
I do 2.5 most of the time.
I like 2.5
I have used 3 and it seems to be to big.
I did go down to 2 when I was binding a tablerunner. it was ok. but I do not think I would like it on a full size quilt.
at 3" how far in do you sew it on the front side?? so you have a wider bind on the front?? and so you leave any extra fabric on the frontside or do you cut it off even with the edge of the quilt?Originally Posted by pamkasperi
I also use 2 1/2" so I can fold in half for extra strength in the binding. But have done 3" when I thought it would look better on a quilt.
I do 2 1/4" double fold for binding.
I generally do 2-1/4" unless the batting is really thin, in which case I do 2".
me too, however for flannel I use 2.5Originally Posted by donnajean

Flat or Tall Hierarchical Structure?
In my Leading Organizations class, we talked a lot about the difference between companies with many different levels of hierarchy (Organization A), to companies with more flattened "pyramid" (Organization B). It seems to be the way of the future to have a more flattened hierarchical structure because it helps keep communication more effective, collaboration more efficient, and employees more motivated. By flattening the hierarchy, it allows for more individuals to have more responsibility and more accountability in their work because there aren't as many people above them. Additionally, collaboration becomes much more vital because the departments are all so intertwined.
This current debate over "which organization is better" is so important to me because I have worked in both kinds of organizations. I feel that Organization A is a better choice for individuals that enjoy being assigned a specific task and a specific department. Organization B is better for individuals that see collaboration and communication as two important factors. and enjoy working across different departments. It's definitely a popular discussion; some companies have changed their way, while others are waiting a little longer.

|John Turnbull from England can't get enough of Tobacco Road Golf Club, Mike Strantz's gem in Sanford, N.C. (Courtesy of Tobacco Road G.C.)
I stumbled upon Tobacco Road Golf Club whilst visiting from Durham, England and what a discovery.
I have played golf all over the world and on some great named courses, but this one takes the biscuit; what a shame Mike Strantz didn't live long enough to enjoy and receive the accolades he fully deserves for this masterpiece, which is carved out of a disused sand quarry.
I would concur with a previous reviewer: It is not the hardest course to play, but you have to think your way around it. There is not one good hole on the course. They are all exceptional.
Believe me when I say if I lived in the area I would play this course every day and not become tired of its layout, condition, facilities and staff. My only disappointment was I tried to play it again when I was over last October 2008 and could not get a date to suit my itinerary.
I would not recommend this course to anyone; I want to keep visitors down to a minimum so I can get on.
As Arnold says, "I'll be back."

Folks who love Tobacco Road should also consider Tot Hill Farm in Asheboro. It's also a Mike Strantz design, and even though it's somewhat more gentle than is Tobacco Road, it's still a challenge that offers many of the same features.
If I were to live in the Triad area, I would strongly consider this course as where I would live.
Nina wrote on: Jan 16, 2009
Warning: Tobacco Road is visually beautiful and well maintained, but it's not very forgiving, and full of blind shots and hidden trouble. (Don't even think about playing it without a course guide!) If you're on your game, and looking for a challenge, you'll love Tobacco Road. If you've been a bit wild lately, or just bought new clubs and aren't sure of your yardages, you may hate it.
Jerry White wrote on: Jan 14, 2009
A few years ago I was at the International Network of Golf Spring Conference in Pinehurst. We had the occasion to play Tobacco Road, and it was and still is one of the most spectacular courses I've ever played.
If you have not had the pleasure of playing this course, please make it a MUST PLAY. You'll never forget the experience.
Cougar Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort "is a real winner and one Gary Player made sure would be a crowd pleaser among the many courses in the Charleston area," writes WorldGolf.com reader Elliot DeBear. "Cougar Point is a perfect resort course, challenging when played from the correct tees with beautifully laid out holes."

Condition of Manhattan bus terminal 'unacceptable,' says new Port Authority chairman
Two days before taking the reins of one of most powerful transportation agencies in the country, John Degnan boarded a bus from the New Jersey suburbs to the Port Authority's midtown Manhattan bus terminal, a cramped and outdated launching pad used by 200,000 commuters each day.
His assessment of the 60-year-old building with broken ceiling panels, cracked tiles and balky air conditioning system: "Unacceptable."
On a 10-point scale? "A 3 or 4," he said Tuesday in his first interview since being confirmed as a commissioner for the troubled bi-state agency.
Degnan's tenure as Governor Christie's pick to lead the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey board of commissioners begins today, and among his first official actions will be to address a controversy that has nothing to do with lane closures at the George Washington Bridge. Under pressure from commuters and several North Jersey legislators, the Port Authority is expected to consider directing $90 million for stopgap repairs of the aging bus terminal, a move that has Degnan's support.
A more permanent solution could be on the horizon: Degnan said he'd like to see the Port Authority reconsider its decision this year not to include replacement of the bus terminal — a costly and logistically complicated project — in its plans for spending over the next decade.
"When you ask people to come into a building where the tiles are broken and the ceiling panels are falling down and there are supplemental fans to cool them off, it's kind of insulting," he said.
Degnan, an attorney general under Gov. Brendan Byrne and longtime executive at an insurance company, also wants to rebuild trust in the Port Authority as it tries to emerge from the most tumultuous era in its 93-year history. There are multiple criminal investigations under way into the September lane closings at the agency's George Washington Bridge, the diversion of $1.8 billion to pay for non-agency projects in New Jersey, and commissioners' conflicts of interest.
"I've been in a lot of stressful situations with a lot of difficult challenges, but I've never had to confront this big of an organization with this many challenges," said Degnan, who has served on various boards and commissions under multiple New Jersey governors.
"So, for me, it's probably the single most challenging opportunity I've had."
Degnan is also part of a governor-appointed panel that is considering sweeping changes at the Port Authority, which controls the region's Hudson River crossings, the airports and seaports, the PATH train system and the World Trade Center. Those reform ideas are expected by the beginning of next year.
Degnan's top priorities as chairman, he said, are to reinforce "a culture of ethics, transparency, and avoidance of conflicts of interests" at the agency.
That will begin today with a symbolic gesture that will be obvious to those who regularly attend the agency's meetings. Typically, the commissioners conduct their public meetings sitting at a semicircular table, facing rows of the agency's top executives, who sit at tables across from them. The public and the media stand or sit on the side or the back of the room.
Starting today, he said, the public will get the seats front and center, and the agency executives will be seated on the sides of the conference room.
"It is symbolic, though, and it needs to be followed up by more substantive developments," he said, citing the potential for changes to the agency's policies on public records, conflicts of interest, whistle-blowers, and the posting of agendas well in advance of meetings to encourage public participation.
Degnan also said he intends to take a hard look at the Port Authority's decision to set aside $950 million over the next 10 years to be directed to unspecified projects by the governors of New Jersey and New York. The so-called regional bank fund has been used in the past to pay for non-agency transportation projects in each state, but past governors also have directed millions to museums, child care centers and even the purchase of garbage trucks.
He said he had asked top executives to compile a list of past projects funded under the program, which is typically replenished when toll hikes are approved.
"If I'm troubled by the analysis of it, I'm going to have to do some work with both governors," he said.
"Nobody has told me it's hands off or hands on. But we are an agency that is subject to gubernatorial oversight and veto, so it's not my decision alone."
While the Port Authority under the Christie administration has been accused of bowing to the short-term political needs of the governor, Degnan said the idea that the agency can operate independently of elected officials and remain accountable is "naive" and unworkable.
Degnan said he remains open-minded to suggestions that the agency be restructured.
The lane-closure scandal exposed silos within the agency and illustrated that there is much room for improvement.
The executive director, Pat Foye, a New York appointee, has said he was unaware of the lane closures ordered by Christie's New Jersey appointees until four days into the massive traffic jams they caused in Fort Lee. Christie's former aides initially said the lane closures were part of a traffic study; Democrats have called that a cover-up for a scheme authorized by Christie's former deputy chief of staff after the Fort Lee mayor declined to support the governor's reelection.
Degnan said he is awaiting the conclusion of the federal criminal investigation.
But he said the executive director should not have been unaware of the lane closures under any scenario.
"The structure of an organization should not allow a decision to be made by subordinates without the knowledge of a superior, and to the extent that happened, the structure of the agency needs to be addressed and dealt with."
