Akron has six lawsuits keeping it from having all the land it desires for the football stadium, the ABJ writes.
David Lee Morgan recapped the season.
By the way, Zippy has a bye this week, but she will face the winner of Cavman and Otto. Vote for the weaker mascot, which is probably Cavman. Cavman has a better record than Otto but accumulated 6,000 fewer votes during the regular season. (It's such a joke that I'm talking about this crap seriously.)
Men's soccer
Akron's season concluded tonight with a 1-0 loss to Central Florida in double-overtime.
The Zips outshot the Bulls, 17-8, but Yohance Marshall scored the game's only goal in the 101st minute.
Star freshman Steve Zakuani got off five shots.
Jabari Arthur and Reggie Corner are All-MAC First Team.
Brion Stokes, Chris Kemme and Almondo Sewell are second teamers. John Mackey, Bryan Williams and Kevin Grant are third teamers.
That's a lot of honors for a 4-8 team. You might argue there should have been more. Perhaps Davanzo Tate should have been included, too.

Akron plays South Florida at 7:30 tonight at Lee Jackson Field.
Tickets are $8 and $5 for students.
Men's basketball
I will be adding to this post as the game goes on, so keep refreshing to maximize your experience.
Men's basketball
Dionte Christmas started his first game in John Cheney's last.
It was Akron's first and only postseason win in Division I.
Fast forward to tonight, where Christmas is one of the best players in Atlantic 10. He put up 20 points per game last year and has maintained it this season.
Alongside Christmas is Mark Tyndale, who is averaging 16.4 points per game.
The Owls have one of the nation's best wing combos. Limiting the two will be Akron's challenge tonight.
Look for Nate Linhart, Cedrick Middleton and Jimmy Conyers to combine for 80 minutes. Their defense will be critical.
So far, Akron has played too sloppy to beat a quality opponent. I can't pick the Zips until I see a more polished effort offensively.
Prediction: Temple 65, Akron 60
Men's basketball
Akron scorched Binghamton last season, 90-55. Coach Al Walker called it an "old-fashioned butt whipping."
It was one of the first games where Jeremiah Wood looked like his old self.
Walker is gone, replaced by Kevin Broadus, who came from Georgetown as one of the nation's most touted assistant coaches.
The Bearcats return a lot of their scorers from last season, particularly the backcourt tandem of Richard Forbes and Mike Gordon. The Zips set out to limit them last year and did.
The teams will play at 7 tonight at Rhodes Arena.
The Bearcats biggest weakness this season has been interior defense. Opponents are shooting 50 percent. Also, Binghamton is getting beaten on the boards by more than 9 rebounds per night.
Wood and Quade Milum might combine for 40 points in this blowout.
Prediction: Akron 79, Binghamton 59
From what I hear, the report about J.D. Brookhart being replaced is either premature or untrue. There was no team meeting this morning, unlike the comment under my previous post says. One player told me he thinks the rumor is bogus and nobody has been told anything about Brookhart.
If it's true, I doubt any announcement would be made until James Madison finishes its run in the D-IAA playoffs. They're playing Appalachian State today.
Akron nearly committed grand theft by pulling out a victory against Central Michigan, despite being outgained by more than 300 yards.
CMU's Dan LeFevour led the Chippewas down the field for a touchdown to win 35-32.
Akron nearly sealed a victory with four minutes left. Chris Jacquemain found Jabari Arthur open for a gain that would have put the Zips in field goal position and given them a chance to run out the clock. A holding penalty negated the long gain and ultimately resulted in good field position for LeFevour to begin his game-winning drive.
Arthur caught eight balls for 111 yards in his final collegiate game. Bryan Williams was the Zips' other star, scoring two touchdowns and running for 145 yards.
I'll have more on the game later. My frozen fingers don't want to type, but feel free to comment about what you saw in the mean time.
It's going to be cold today, but we probably won't see the kind of snow storm that could slow Dan LeFevour.
Prediction: The Zips will mount a large first half lead on Chris Jacquemain's typical quick start. The Chippewas will return fire in the second half. Whoever has the ball last will win.
Akron 33, Central Michigan 38
The theme -- The Chippewas give up 38.5 per game. Consider, though, that when you score a lot yourself (and primarily through the pass), you won't take much time off the clock and the other team will get more possessions. CMU is actually decent at run defense. The pass defense, though, is pretty porous. Opposing quarterbacks have completed 67 percent of their passes, which is worst in the MAC by a large margin. They are almost averaging a 300 yard passing game from the opponent.
Key players -- Strongside linebacker Red Keith is 15th in the nation in tackles. He often drops into coverage in their 4-3 scheme. Right defensive end Frank Zombo leads the team with 5.5 sacks.
How Akron can score -- I would say "pass," but it's going to be cold and even in ideal conditions, Akron couldn't pass on a lethal injection with a rusty needle. In his final career start, Chris Jacquemain will have to play like he did against Western Michigan for Akron to have a chance.
The theme -- Dan LeFevour is the Chips offense. He's the MAC's No. 3 passer and No. 8 runner. He has 20 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing scores. That's Tim Tebow territory. LeFevour is the Zips' worst nightmare -- an amazing passer with great field vision and instincts when to leave the pocket.
How Akron can stop them -- Cold, sloppy weather would help. And it looks like the Zips will get it. If the conditions are bad, Akron needs to stack the box and focus on the run. If LeFevour can pass, hope for fumbles and that the Zips' offense can keep up. Also, maybe CMU coach Butch Jones will pull his starters considering the team has little to play for. They're already in the MAC Championship. But he probably won't.
Men's soccer
If Caleb Porter knew Zips history, his bags would be packed for Moscow or some other cartoonishly unfair place for a first-round road game.
For once, however, the Zips didn't get screwed. In fact, they won't even play in the first round.
After the bye, either South Florida or Colgate will come to Lee Jackson Field. Then the course gets more difficult with a road game against No. 3 Connecticut. No. 2 Wake Forest, who beat Akron earlier in the season, also is on the Zips' side of the bracket.
The Zips will play their first game Wednesday the 28th. Round three will be the following weekend.
Men's soccer
Anthony Ampaipitakwong put an exclamation point on his freshman season by sending his team to the NCAA Tournament.
Akron won the MAC Championship over Buffalo 1-0 thanks to his goal in the 101st minute. The Zips outshot the Bulls 18-4 and landed four players on the all-tournament team.
We will find out tomorrow where the Zips fit in the tournament bracket. They should be hoping for a first-round bye.
Men's basketball
Akron missed 8 of last 9 foul shots in a valiant attempt to blow a second-straight game in Alaska.
A Nick Dials running floater with 3.9 seconds remaining foiled the cunning plan as the Zips beat Tennessee State 74-72.
"I had a big 7-footer running out at me, so I had no choice but to drive," Dials said.
Jeremiah Wood led the Zips again with 17 points and eight rebounds. The assist-to-turnover ratio was more palatable, as well, at 17-13. Akron will leave Alaska with third place in the BP Top of the World Classic.
"We're definitely going to have to do some things differently," Keith Dambrot said. "Anyone who thinks our team right now is as good as last year's team is mistaken.
"I think we're going to get better, but people will have to be patient."
The Zips will have a week to heal before a string of home games begins Saturday versus Binghamton.
Men's basketball
The competition will stiffen a tad for the Zips tonight as they take on Portland State, the consensus No. 3 team in the Big Sky Conference.
The Vikings won the conference in 2005. Since then, they have been up and down. The Zips are 6.5-point favorites to win the game and play for the tournament championship.
After last night's game, Keith Dambrot blamed the close score on the lack of a true point guard. (It surprises me how heavily he was relying on Ronnie Steward.)
Men's soccer
Akron beat Northern Illinois 2-1 in double overtime to advance to the MAC Championship. The Zips will play Buffalo for the conference crown Sunday at 2 p.m. in front of the home crowd.
Akron got its goals from Steve Zakuani and Michael Nanchoff. The Zips consistently had difficulty clearing the ball from NIU scoring position. The Huskies were the only MAC team whom Akron did not beat. The teams tied 0-0 earlier in the year.
Men's basketball
Akron made it a lot closer than necessary against South Carolina Upstate last night.
The Zips eventually won 64-60, but the Spartans exposed some problems the team will need to overcome.
USCU outrebounded Akron 43-29. Akron made only 15 of 30 free throws. The team had only seven assists, compared to 13 turnovers.
Despite contributing to the latter two categories with nine missed free throws and five turnovers, Jeremiah Wood led the team with 23 points and 10 rebounds.
Some sloppiness is excusable in the season's first game. Look around the nation. However, the Zips will need to gather themselves before tonight's matchup against Portland State. It starts at midnight EST.
I will break down the Vikings later today. I have to find something to do because there's no college football worth watching.
Men's basketball
To be honest, I have never heard of them.
I have a perfectly good excuse. They have been in Division I for only a week.
They leaped into the Atlantic Sun conference, which has some nice wins to its credit so far (Belmont over Cincinnati, Gardner-Webb over Kentucky, Mercer over USC).
Before making the jump, USCU won two of the past three Peach Belt Conference championships. Consequently, they went to the Division II tournament.
The first thing that pops out about their roster is 7-foot-2 Nick Schneiders. He played 14 months on Germany's playgrounds before USCU recruited him. (Kinda sounds like "The Air Up There," doesn't it?) Schneiders is still raw, but he can rebound.
Head coach Eddie Payne formerly held that job at East Carolina and Oregon State. He is known for a high-tempo game with three guards in the starting lineup. His son Luke Payne is one of those guards. He is a smart distributor and good shooter. Another good guard is Jeremy Byrd, whose quickness leads to a lot of steals.
Bobby Davis, a junior college transfer, leads the team with points after putting up 13 in a loss to Utah.
Those four guys could probably play for some MAC teams. With nine freshmen on the roster, however, depth will be a problem. If the Spartans love to run so much, they'll need a lot more.
Akron needs to push the ball, get a big lead and cruise.
Prediction: Akron 78, USCU 49
This game is a microcosm of the season.
There were highlights, but one of the nation's worst quarterback situations sucked away hope of winning.
Akron's defense did not allow Miami to score in the Zips' 7-0 loss. John Mackey picked off two passes. Davanzo Tate broke up four passes. The defensive front dominated.
Shift your focus to the wimpy offense. Chris Jacquemain went 12-of-33 and threw two interceptions against the MAC's best scoring defense. Carlton Jackson came to the rescue and promptly fumbled for a RedHawks touchdown. Alex Allen's career game wasn't nearly enough to overcome such incompetence.
Akron's back on national TV for the second-straight week. It's on ESPN2 at 7:30 p.m.
The theme -- Miami has a lot of speed on defense. The unit, which runs the 4-3, is tops in the MAC in points allowed. The linebackers and line do a great job pressuring the quarterback and stopping the run. The pass defense is somewhat vulnerable.
Key players -- Weakside linebacker Clayton Mullins is third in the conference in tackles. Middle linebacker Joey Hudson is the playmaker you want to watch out for. Strongside linebacker Caleb Bostic has nine tackles for loss. Joe Coniglio has come off the left end of the line to make 8.5 sacks.
How Akron can score -- Throw deep. The Zips are toast if they try to move the ball on intermediate routes. The RedHawk linebackers are too good. Akron's o-line will have a nice test tomorrow. If they can open holes for Bryan Williams, it will make it easier for Jabari Arthur to get open.
The theme -- Miami's offense isn't outstanding in any facet, but coach Shane Montgomery must be pleased at how the team has performed, considering its youth. The offense is pretty balanced between the run and pass. When the RedHawks run well, they win. The biggest fault is the offensive line's 26 sacks allowed -- 10th in the MAC.
Key players -- Coming into the season, Montgomery thought he was going with Brandon Murphy and Mike Kokal at running back and quarterback, respectively. Younger players have outperformed them. Murphy still plays a little, but Austin Sykes and Cory Jones get more carries. Kokal hasn't played in four weeks, which is when Daniel Raudabaugh took over. The sophomore quarterback has been much more effective.
How Akron can stop them -- Bring the house. Make the sophomore QB beat you with quick reads. The turnovers were aplenty early in the year. If the Zips make the opposing quarterback uncomfortable, they will eventually come back.
It has been a while since Akron got a verbal commitment.
The reasons could be two-fold. First, not many players commit in the middle of their high school season. Second, Akron hasn't been doing a lot on the field to woo recruits.
Here are three new offers to junior college defensive backs...
Davion Mauldin, cornerback, Cerritos, Calif. Offers: Akron Height: 5-foot-10 Weight: 175 Speed: 4.4 Notes: Arizona State, Kansas State and Nevada are other teams of interest for Mauldin.
Josh Pleasant, cornerback, Chatham, Va. (Hargrave Military Academy) Offers: Akron and Kent State Height: 5-9 Weight: 170 Speed: Not listed Notes: Rivals.com says Pleasant is a four-star player and the No. 13 junior college player in the nation. Scout.com calls him a safety, rather than a cornerback, and gives him three stars. Other college choices include Mississippi and Virginia Tech.
Daniel Urias, safety, Mission Viejo, Calif. Offers: Akron Height: 6-2 Weight: 217 Speed: 4.54 Notes: Other schools of interest include Wyoming and Idaho State. Scout.com gives Urias three stars.

Check out Tom Gaffney's story on Thursday's game. Accompanying it is a cool picture of Jeremiah Wood dunking.
Men's basketball
Keith Dambrot -- "I think the team is going to be a very, very good team. We just need to get our pieces back (referring to Middleton and Steward)."
On Middleton: "That guy is the heart and soul of our team."
On what he learned tonight: "I needed to find out whether McNees can play and whether Bardo can play. I think Bardo did some good stuff. He's very good defensively. I thought McNees played well offensively. He's a scorer. I'll say that."
On the team's effort tonight: "They punched us in the mouth early. We didn't play well together. We didn't guard well."
On Steward's return: "It doesn't look good to me. He can't walk without a limp. He would have pushed to start. I'm going in thinking we're not (going to redshirt him). A lot of it depends on if the other guy (Darryl Roberts) is eligible."
On McNees' defense: "We built the program around defense. I told McNees, 'You're good on offense. I'll play you some. But you need to get better on defense.'"
On Walsh's 7-footer Eder Araujo, who grabbed nine rebounds but was 1-for-11 on field goals: "He could play for a lot of teams (in the MAC). He's better than the guy Kent got (Gabe Garcia)."
On Swiech's possible redshirt: "Ask me in two days." (He implied we should pay attention to how much he played tonight as an indicator.
On Conyers: He's gotten better "belief-wise offensively. A lot of it was rust."
His thoughts on the rotation...
1 - McNees, Middleton 2 - Dials, Middleton 3 - Linhart, Conyers 4 - Milum, McKnight 5 - Wood, Bardo
Cedrick Middleton -- "Last year, how it ended... The fact that that was our last game was hard for us. It took me weeks, months to get over it."
On McNees: "Being here for four years of Coach D, he'll learn to play defense." (He suggested that McNees' defensive shortcoming has become a running joke on the team.)
On his sore knee: "We're just taking precaution." (If this was a regular season game, Dambrot said he'd play.)
On the faster paced offense: "We always want to run the break."
Nick Dials -- "It was very subpar on our part. We didn't play hard from the beginning."
About the MAC Championship loss: "It adds to our maturity. We don't want to put ourselves in the position to lose on a game winner."
On going to Alaska: "I don't want to do it. I don't want to travel no nine hours on a plane."
Men's basketball
Final score: Akron 79, Walsh 55
Men's basketball
Score at the half: Akron 36, Walsh 22
Akron, this is Endzone. I don't believe you two have met.
The Zips reached the colored turf six times tonight in their 48-37 win over Ohio. The Bobcats felt the oh-so-familiar pain of moving the ball well, but not converting as often as the opposition.
Several Zips starred on offense. Jabari Arthur was Jabari Arthur, gaining 129 yards and a touchdown. Alex Allen played the best game of his career, rushing for 96 yards and three touchdowns. Chris Jacquemain finished off the Bobcats with a touchdown to Kris Kasparek that showed some progression as a passer with field vision. Bryan Williams, of course, swung the momentum back to Akron early in the first quarter with a kickoff return 95 yards for a touchdown.
Hand it to the Zips defense, too, for limiting Kalvin McRae after a 54-yard touchdown dash in the first quarter. Take out that play, and McRae had 55 yards on 20 carries -- hardly what Ohio should expect from an All-MAC player. The Bobcats were fairly effective in the air, but you can accept that considering the success in stopping McRae.
You could almost see this win coming. Once you think you know something in the MAC, such as "Akron's slumping" or "Ohio's getting it together," the teams swap. Blame the incredible amount of parity in the MAC. The Godfather Mike Waddell pointed this out to me today: Name one MAC football program who has been consistently good the past five years.
I can't. Can you? Yet that is what fans expect from J.D. Brookhart. As my column in tomorrow's paper says, people need to give him a break. There's no reason Akron fans should be so demanding that they either call for his head or call him a savior depending on each week's performance.
Men's basketball
Zips fans are about 48 hours away from their first taste of basketball.
"Walsh is a good team," assistant coach Jeff Boals said. "It's not a team that you can take lightly. Two years ago they won the NAIA National Championship."
Two St. Vincent/St. Mary's High School grads lead the Walsh Cavaliers: Brandon Weems and Corey Jones.
The Zips will work on limiting turnovers and fouls and improving defensively. Those were the main issues during Akron's super-secret scrimmage at Xavier this weekend.
The Musketeers are a really good team. Some expect them to win the Atlantic 10. You might remember point guard Drew Lavender, who was one of the nation's top point guard recruits. The Columbus native committed to Oklahoma, then transferred to Xavier.
"It went good," Boals said. "Xavier is really good. They were really impressive. They are an experienced team."
The Zips held with them for most of the scrimmage, which consisted of two 25-minute segments and some situational plays. Akron began to sub some of the bench players and fell behind by 10.
"We held our own," Boals said.
On the injury front, Jeremiah Wood's hand has gotten a lot better. Ronnie Steward is about to start running again after suffering a badly strained hip flexor. Cedrick Middleton has a sore knee, and the coaches might hold him out of the exhibition game on Thursday.
That is bad news for the Zips' already thin point guard situation. Steve McNees is a good shooter with reliable ball handling, but defensively is a liability. That is where you get some of the concern for fouls, which come as a result of guard penetration.
"The point guard spot is hardest to learn," Boals said. "He has to learn where people are going to be. Defensively, he's going to guard quicker guys."
Darryl Roberts, who could help at the point, can't play until December because of academics. He's quick and can shoot very well, but he hasn't practiced with the team. It's hard to say whether he'll contribute.
The theme -- Ohio's defense has been successful when it is able to penetrate into teams' backfields. The Bobcats are second in the MAC with 24 sacks. They are in the top-half in the conference in stopping the run and pass. The line in this 4-3 defense is the strength.
Key players -- Landen Cohen and Kris Luchsinger lead that line. Safety Todd Koenig leads the team in tackles. Although he has been quiet this year, don't forget about punt returner Chris Jarrett, who was a third-team Freshman All-American last year.
How Akron can score -- This should be a good test for Akron's line. It must limit penetration because the Zips won't move the ball if they're facing third-and-long all night. Chris Jacquemain is eligible to play, but the coaches haven't announced who will start. As with the entire season, I might as well be throwing the passes if the Zips don't enter the endzone at least four times.
The theme -- Coming into the season, Ohio appeared to be a stuff-it-down-your-throat offense that would only pass when the opponent stacked the box with eight defenders. Ten games through the season, the Bobcats have thrown more than they have ran, but quite a bit of them have been dumpoffs and check downs.
Key players -- They still have a great weapon in Kalvin McRae, who has been running very well the past four weeks. He hasn't rushed for fewer than 150 yards since then. Like the Zips, the Bobcats have juggled quarterbacks. Brad Bower and Theo Scott have similar statistics, except that Scott has been more successful leaving the pocket. Tight end Andrew Mooney is the primary target for their conservative passing game.
How Akron can stop them -- Play the Bobcats exactly how you played Buffalo. Stack the box and stop McRae. The plan would have worked two weeks ago if only Akron's offense wasn't so incompetant in the redzone.
Another week, another beatdown.
The Zips' season officially slipped away with a 44-20 loss at Bowling Green. It was a game where the Falcons did exactly what they wanted on offense, and the Zips' critical errors kept their decent drives from showing up on the scoreboard.
Bowling Green scored on every drive except two. The Falcons taught the Zips a lesson in running the spread offense. You have to have a quarterback with great field vision and a strong arm. Tyler Sheehan played a very effective game in that sense.
Carlton Jackson played instead of Chris Jacquemain, who was suspended for breaking team rules. As a rusher, Jackson looked outstanding. Problem is, his Johnny Damon-style lollipop throws resulted in two interceptions.
Still, Jackson ran the offense well enough to give Akron a chance to score. However, the redzone ineptitude continued, as the Zips failed to convert due to two turnovers on downs and a fumble.
Here's where good coaches earn their money. Not every season ends in a bowl game; at some point, the team has nothing to play for. Will he "lose" the team? Or will it play with pride and discipline? His job might depend on it.
Men's basketball
My buddy Kiel Fleming rhetorically asked: Can't we just combine the basketball and football coaching jobs and ask Keith Dambrot to do both?
In that vein, Akron got two votes in the preseason AP poll. (Yet, they're not even the MAC media's favorite in the East division.)
Two votes is the same amount as Illinois and one more than George Mason.
The theme -- Bowling Green is 112th in the nation in run defense, giving up 215 yards per game on the ground. That could be excusable if the Falcons had played run dominant teams like Akron has, but that's not the case with the exception of Michigan State. The Falcons do defend the pass pretty well in terms of yardage (43rd in the nation), but teams just don't throw that often against them.
At the end of the game, Bowling Green doesn't mind if your team scores in the 30s. Its aerial offense has beaten two teams -- Minnesota and Temple -- who scored 31 and 35 points, respectively.
Key players -- The defense's strength lies with its linebackers. John Haneline leads the MAC with 11.4 tackles per game. Erique Dozier, from Garfield High School Akron, plays well in coverage. Loren Hargrove leads the team with 6.5 sacks.
How Akron can score -- Bryan Williams and Alex Allen need to keep Tyler Sheehan and Co. off the field. The way Chris Jacquemain has played, Akron can't win a shootout. I don't want to be a broken record, but Carlton Jackson really needs to play.

Hospital to patients: We maybe exposed you to HIV
(NEWSER) – More than 4,000 people on Long Island are getting the most unwelcome kind of letter from a local hospital—a warning that they might have been inadvertently exposed to HIV. As ABC News explains, the risk is low, but it stems from improper use of an insulin pen. It seems a nurse at South Nassau Communities Hospital was overheard saying, incorrectly, that it was OK to reuse the pen on multiple patients, reports Newsday via NBC News.

US busts Russia on tape with Ukraine spies
(NEWSER) – US intelligence has recordings of Russian officials giving orders to operatives in the Ukraine, proving that Russia is indeed behind the forces destabilizing Eastern Ukraine, John Kerry told Trilateral Commission leaders Friday, in a closed-door meeting that, ironically enough, was recorded and leaked to the Daily Beast. "Everybody can tell the difference in the accents, in the idioms, in the language. We know exactly who's giving those orders," Kerry said. "This is insulting to everybody's intelligence, let alone to our nations and how we ought to be behaving in the 21st century. It's thuggism."

It's Time to Shut the NSA's Backdoor Used to Spy on Americans
On June 20, the House of Representatives passed a defense spending bill with an amendment that would substantially strengthen the privacy protections of American citizens in the context of foreign intelligence surveillance. The amendment, which passed by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 293-123, should be quickly and enthusiastically approved by the Senate and then signed into law by President Obama.
Complicating matters, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, which makes recommendations to Congress about such matters, just issued a deeply disappointing report that does not go as far as the House's enactment. That report is simply wrong, and should be rejected. Let me explain.
Most of the focus in the United States about National Security Agency surveillance programs has been on the section 215 telephone metadata program, which directly involves the collection of phone records of American citizens. The vast majority of NSA foreign intelligence programs, however, are directed at people who are not U.S. citizens and who are not in the United States. They are directed, in short, at potential foreign terrorists.
Because of the Fourth Amendment and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978, when an individual is present inside the United States, the government is not permitted to search his home, open his mail, wiretap his phone, or read his emails without first obtaining a warrant from a judge based on a finding by the judge that there is probable cause to believe that the intrusion on personal privacy is likely to reveal information relevant to a criminal or foreign intelligence investigation. That same rule applies when the government wants to investigate an American citizen who is outside the United States. In that case, the NSA must first obtain a warrant from a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
On the other hand, under section 702 of FISA, if the person being investigated isnot an American citizen and is reasonably believed to be located outside the United States, the NSA can intercept and collect his communications if the NSAfinds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the target's communications might contain information relevant to international terrorism. It doesn't need a warrant.
The lower standard for surveillance of individuals in this situation is justified on the ground that a nation has special obligations to its own citizens that it does not necessarily owe to citizens of other nations. The analogy is to a family, which has responsibilities to family members that are different from its responsibilities to persons outside the family. Every nation follows this approach. There are, of course, good reasons to respect the privacy rights of citizens of other nations, both in terms of basic human rights and in terms of our own national self-interest, and it may be that the authority given to the NSA to intercept and collect the communications of non-Americans who are outside the United States should be reconsidered.

Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard not touring behind new solo album
Listen to Stone Gossard on iHeartRadio
Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard says he probably won't be launching a "Moonlander" tour anytime soon. The guitarist unveiled his second solo effort earlier this week, but he tells "Rolling Stone" he has no plans to bring it out on the road.
Gossard explains that the main purpose behind "Moonlander" - which was drawn from 12 years' worth of demos and song fragments - was "just finishing something." He wanted to let fans know that he likes to write songs and "screw around" in the studio, and these are his favorites from the past decade or so.
"Moonlander" is available now via PearlJam.com or iTunes.

SURVEY: Schools should teach creativity, goal-setting
A majority of Americans said U.S. schools should teach soft skills, including how to collaborate and how to set meaningful goals, a poll indicates.
More than three in four adults said they strongly agree that K-12 schools should teach critical thinking and communication, and 64 percent agreed that goal setting should be taught.
Sixty-one percent said schools should know how to motivate students, and a majority of respondents also strongly agree creativity and collaboration should be taught, the Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll indicates.
Parents did not see their child's school as making an overwhelming difference in promoting their child's well-being.
Only a third of parents said they strongly agree that their child has a better well-being because of the school he or she attends, Gallup said, and only 15 percent agree their child's school is involved with teaching how to manage finances.
The poll was conducted via telephone

SPOILER ALERT: 'Family Guy' resurrects Brian on Christmas episode
Rest easy, folks: Brian is alive and well on "Family Guy."
After seemingly dying after getting hit by a car last month, the dog was rescued in the nick of time by his baby best friendStewie on Sunday's Christmas episode thanks to a time travel twist.
As Gossip Cop reported at the time, there was a viewer uproar after the pooch was (apparently) killed off last month, but some speculated that the move was simply a publicity stunt with Brian's eventual return being tied to the comedy's holiday episode.
In the interim, the show went as far as introducing a new family pet Vinny, voiced by "Sopranos" star Tony Sirico, but the audience's suspicions proved right all along.
Series creator and Brian's voice actor Seth MacFarlane has now confirmed the grand plan - and its motives - on Twitter.
And thus endeth our warm, fuzzy holiday lesson: Never take those you love for granted, for they can be gone in a flash.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) December 16, 2013
He then quipped, "I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be f*cking high."
He added:
Oh and hey... thanks for caring so much about the canine Griffin. He is overcome with gratitude.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) December 16, 2013
Check out the video below, where Stewie travels to the past to save Brian before he can be hit by the car.

Robert Pattinson's Sister Auditions For 'X Factor' UK
One of the contestants on the upcoming season of 'X Factor' U.K. may have a famous sibling.
The Mirror reports that actor Robert Pattinson's older sister Lizzy recently sang at a closed-door audition for the show in London. Sources tell the site that she impressed judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Mel B and Louis Walsh, and could be appearing on the premiere later this month.
In an interview with Grazia promoting his film The Rover, Robert confirmed that his sister did audition for the show, which will air on the AXS TV channel in the U.S. for the first time this season. The actor says he's "ridiculously proud" of her and that he "can't believe" she had the courage to sing for the panel.
Sources say Lizzy kept her relation to Robert quiet from producers, and is hoping to move forward on the show based on her own talents.

Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDMTuesday September 11 2012
The Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM is a prime standard lens that allows users to dream up pictures with incredible artistic aesthetics thanks largely to its medium focal length and extra wide aperture of f/1.4. The latter also gives it a leg up in dark conditions. But how does the lens compare to similar Pentax lenses, or similar pieces of glass made by its rivals?
Review of Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM
Further readings for the Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The beauty of bokeh – the aesthetic quality of a blur – is often admired by photographers and image enthusiasts alike. Some images with high bokeh resemble hybrid art – one part impressionist painting, one part photographic genius.
These dream-like pictures are largely produced using lenses with really wide apertures, lenses like the Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM.

The Immigration Discovery Centre can help you locate primary records and family history documents across a range of archives and genealogical institutions. Some initial steps for unearthing your family history online are described below.
The Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) holds records from the beginnings of colonial Victoria in the mid-1830s until today, including pre-1923 passenger lists to Victoria.
To Access pre 1923 passenger list indexes:
If your ancestor came to another state in Australia prior to 1923, you will need to access the records of that state. Other states have varying amounts of indexes and other records online. A list of these archives can found on this National Archives of Australia Fact sheet.
For further information on tracing your ancestors on pre 1923 passenger lists see our article on Missing ancestors.
National Archives of Australia (NAA) is the central repository for Australian Commonwealth Government records and holds information on immigration, naturalisation and military service, as well as post 1923 passenger lists to Victoria.
It is important to note that only a small percentage of the material archived by the NAA can be found online. If you cannot find the records which you are seeking, please contact the NAA directly through their Making Australia Home project.
To Access National Archives Records Online:
Basic Search will search all records indexed.
Name Search to search specific types of records, including immigration and military records.
Passenger list index has lists of ships that arrived in 1921 to 1949 that passed through Fremantle. Even if the ship finished its journey in another state, it may have landed in Fremantle first.
Immigration Discovery CentreThe Immigration Discovery Centre (IDC) offers a range of information about immigration and immigrant communities in Victoria, immigrant travel and starting your family history research.
Victorian Archives Centre (PROV & NAA)Public Record Office Victoria and the National Archives of Australia share a reading room at the Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne.
State Library of Victoria Genealogy CentreThe State Library's Genealogy Centre provides access to a variety of resources for family historians and genealogists.
Local Genealogical & Historical SocietiesThe Ballarat & District Genealogical Society website provides contact details for local societies located in Northern & Western Victoria.
Births, deaths & marriagesContacts for Victorian and interstate Births, deaths & marriages registrars are on this NAA Fact Sheet.
Hi Sandra,
You can search for your mother's name on the National Archives of Australia (NAA) website - the NAA holds post-1923 passenger lists to Victoria.
You can also contact the NAA directly for further assistance in searching for your mother's records.
Hello, Keith. Is your medal something like this one? If so, it may have been awarded for any number of reasons, from "services to the exhibition" to acting as a jury member of some type. In any case, it's a lovely item. Further information about the exhibition itself can be found here.
Hi John. Before 1923 each Australian state had its own office for keeping government records, including immigration records. There's a great list of these various archival bodies available online. Try South Australia?
Mary - thanks for your enquiry and sorry about the delay. All records of shipping arrivals to Victoria before 1923 are held by the Public Records Office of Victoria. You can search their shipping arrival records using the indexes available at this part of their website. Hope this helps!
George and Mary: the information that you require is available from the National Archives of Australia. Their records can be searched at this part of their website. Hope this helps!
Hi Judy and thanks for your query. You can search for images of ships on the online image database Picture Australia. You can also visit The Immigration Discovery Centre to view the shipping resources.
Hi there, Mariann. See the section above about the National Archives of Australia for information about passenger lists to Australia in the 1960s. You will need to contact that organisation for access to these lists. Hope this helps!
Hi Kaye. PROV does hold some passenger lists prior to 1852. For this see their Index of Assisted British Immigration 1839-1871. For all other records prior to 1852 you'll need to search the State Records NSW online immigration and shipping indexes. As the state of Victoria didn't exist before 1852, records prior to this date were recorded by the colony of NSW and are still kept there.
Passenger lists are recorded on identical templates as the authorities were required to register people when they entered the country, as they are today. These were official forms that were then entered into the archives. Passenger lists in the Public Record Office of Victoria (PROV) are official state documents that were filled out on arrival. The ships themselves may have had separate passenger lists of their own. In the UK the National Archives holds Outgoing Passenger Lists.
If the ship left from the UK and the person's name is not on there, it is likely they boarded along the way. The passengers were probably recorded when they came on board. These would be in the shipping company archives if they still exist. There is a set of books in the Discovery Centre at Immigration Museum called Log of Logs that list ships and any archival material that exists on them. Ships to Australia did go via South Africa and you may wish to try the South African archives to see what information they hold about outgoing passengers but usually the port of embarkation is indicated on the incoming passenger lists at PROV in any case and you should begin by searching them.
Hi Prue. Only 10% of the National Archives records are online. Your Uncle's records will be held there but you will need to contact them directly to request them.
Cathy, there are so many living immigrants in Australia that determining this for certain would be a near-impossible research task. Still, it's great to learn that your father and his brother are still alive after having migrated at such a young age, so long ago. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Catherine, the full passenger lists, including information about which port the ship left from, can be found on microfiche at PROV in the Victorian Archives Centre in North Melbourne or the State Library of Victoria's Genealogy Centre.
Hi Clare,
Please refer to the answer given on 22nd April 2009.
Hi Lauren,
The SS Orontes arrived in Melbourne on the 28 December in 1958. Information on the ship and its service history can be found at Page 67 of Peter Plowman's book, Australian Migrant Ships 1946-1977, ISBN:9781877058400 and online at Google Books. Click on Otranto and Orontes at the Contents page. You will need to contact the National Archives of Australia for a passenger list.
Hello Mary the information that you require is available from the National Archives of Australia.
Hi Denise, according to the Ancestry.com website, the records that have been accessed are those held by Public Records Office Victoria. There is an explanation here. We cannot explain why you are seeing differences in the records. Perhaps contact the Public Records Office Victoria for further clarification.
Hi John,
The National Archives of Australia (NAA) website - the NAA holds post-1923 passenger lists to Victoria.
You can also contact the NAA directly for further assistance in searching for your records.
Hi Amanda,
Your daughter can search for your relatives' names on the National Archives of Australia (NAA) website - the NAA holds post-1923 passenger lists to Australia.
You can also contact the NAA directly for further assistance in searching for your relatives records if you can not find them online as currently only ten percent of records are avilable online.
Hi Abraham, thanks for the question. Before 1923, each state of Australia is responsible for their own immigration records. So, if the family you are searching for came to Victoria, you will need to search the Public Records Office Victoria website. If you can't find them there, consider searching other state archives.
The National Archives of Australia is the central repository for Australian Commonwealth Government records and holds information on naturalisation, military service and immigration.
The National Archives website features online indexes to records in their collection, and can be searched by name, year and/or ship's name. It is important to note that only approximately 10% of the material archived by the National Archives is so far featured on the internet.
You can search for your grandparents arrival details on the National Archives of Australia (NAA) website - the NAA holds post-1923 passenger lists to Victoria.
You can also contact the NAA directly for further assistance in searching for your family records
Hi Loretta,
For records before 1923, you can try the Public Record Office Victoria's Index to Outward Passengers to Interstate, UK, NZ and Foreign Ports 1852-1923 if you believe he left from Melbourne. If it was after this date, try the National Archives of Australia.
Hi Emma,
You can search for your father's name on the National Archives of Australia (NAA) website - the NAA holds post-1923 passenger lists.
If you can't find your father's records, you can contact the NAA directly for further assistance.
Hi Alastair,
The National Library of Australia's TROVE website has a huge number of digitised newspapers that are searchable. If there was anything written, then you should be able to find it there.
At the time of William Cropper Bate's arrival into Victoria we were still part of New South Wales. Perhaps try searching the NSW Public Records either under the Assisted Immigrants Index or Unassisted Immigrant Index.
You will need to contact the Archives directly if you need assistance or copies of anything you find.
Good luck!
Hello Kim, from what I can ascertain a quick Search of the Collections at the National Archive of Australia, the last arrival of the RMS Orion to Australia before the outbreak of WWII was a voyage that arrived at Fremantle on February 28 1939. There's a digital scan of the Passenger List for this voyage available on the NAA, just go to the Basic Search page, and use the keywords 'Orion list 1939'; there was also a voyage in November 1939, but we'd regard this as a post-outbreak voyage.
We hope this helps!
Hi Jean,
We did some online research using Trove and the National Archives of Australia and found it took about twelve days to get to Singapore from Melbourne.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Dez Bryant says 'Hell yeah, I'll be mad' if NCAA doesn't suspend Johnny Manziel
Dez Bryant is suspicious of the NCAA, and for good reason.
Everyone should be suspicious of the NCAA, whose inconsistent rulings and hypocrisy are maddening, but Bryant has a personal reason. A legal dinner at Deion Sanders' house turned into Bryant being suspended for most of the 2009 season. The NCAA suspended Bryant for not disclosing what happened when he met Sanders.
So now Bryant, a star receiver with the Dallas Cowboys, is closely watching what happens with the Johnny Manziel autograph scandal.
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, is being investigated for possibly signing thousands of autographs for money. That would be a far worse violation than a meal with a former NFL star, which is why Bryant is already getting a bit agitated. Not because he has an issue with Manziel – Bryant made it very clear he has no problem at all with the Texas A&M quarterback – but he has a problem with the NCAA if it doesn't punish him after what it did to him.
"Hell yeah, I'll be mad," Bryant said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I will be mad. But I don't want him to get suspended. I will be mad more at the NCAA on how they do things. I just feel like it's not fair. This is something I have no problem talking about because I feel like somebody needs to say something to him and let it be known how they treat people is not right."
That's an understandable reaction, given what Bryant went through.
Bryant admits his wrongdoing back when he was at Oklahoma State. He told the Star-Telegram he lied to the NCAA because the investigator frightened him into believing he did something wrong when he met Sanders. He then told the truth but the suspension was never lifted.
And again, this isn't about Manziel in Bryant's mind. In fact, he thinks that Manziel should be allowed to sell his autograph.
"He should be able to sign as many autographs and make as much money as he wants, because it's his name," Bryant said to the Star-Telegram. "I feel like he's the one who created it. He should be able to do whatever he feels as long as it's legal and I don't think there's anything illegal about signing a picture of yourself and making money off himself. Shoot, the NCAA is making money off of it when they're selling those No. 2 shirts. Why can't he make a little bit of money off of it?"
Bryant obviously doesn't know the core philosophy of the NCAA and college sports, which is that everyone shall make money off college athletes except the college athletes themselves. And once that rule is met, the next rule is to do whatever you can to make even more money off them. More realignment, anyone?
Bryant is an unlikely voice of reason in battling the vile and exploitative business of college sports, but it makes sense. He's one of the best examples of the NCAA's haphazard way of enforcing its archaic rules.
"I don't want anything to happen to Manziel, I promise," Bryant said, according to the Star-Telegram. "I don't want anything. I just want them to know what they're doing is not right. That's all they need to know and they need to understand that. Seriously. They really do."

Threat Closes US Embassies Everywhere on Sunday
(NEWSER) – The State Department has ordered many embassies in the Middle East and elsewhere to close on Sunday in response to a terror threat. A State Department spokeswoman said the closings come out of an "abundance of caution," but warned that they could stretch on for days "depending on our analysis." Security officials tell NBC News that the threat appears to be tied to Ramadan, while others tell the New York Times an al-Qaeda affiliate is at the root of the threat. Sunday is a typical workday in the Muslim world, following a Friday-Saturday weekend.

Poll: Obama the Worst President Since WWII
(NEWSER) – The public isn't just unhappy with President Obama, it has him pegged as the worst president of the modern era, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Asked to pick the worst president since World War II, 33% said President Obama, pushing him ahead of George W. Bush, who got 28%. Ronald Reagan was deemed the best post-war president by 35%, followed by Bill Clinton (18%) and John F. Kennedy (15%). What's more, by a 45-38 margin, the public said it would have been better off electing Mitt Romney—mirroring this earlier poll.

Blackhawks outlast Bruins in bruising, breathless triple-overtime Game 1 masterpiece
CHICAGO — Please forgive Andrew Shaw. He was tired, and it was late – just past midnight in Chicago, just past 1 a.m. in Boston. The FCC won't be happy with NBC, but in his delirium, the 21-year-old kid spoke the truth. Bleeping right it was unbelievable.
The Blackhawks and the Bruins needed almost two games' worth of hockey to decide Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final – 120 hits, 117 shots, 114 faceoffs in more than 112 minutes – and in the end the difference was a double deflection in triple overtime.
Michal Rozsival fired from the point. The puck deflected off the stick of David Bolland in the slot, ricocheted off the leg of Shaw in front and squeaked into the net 12:08 into the sixth period, and the Blackhawks won, 4-3. The fifth-longest game in Stanley Cup final history was over. And to think: This series is just beginning.
Shaw spoke to NBC's Pierre McGuire on the ice under a spotlight in a darkened arena, "Chelsea Dagger" playing in the background, the fans still buzzing.
"We knew it wasn't going to be pretty at this point," Shaw said on national television in the United States. "It was a great shot, a great setup … [Bleeping] … It was unbelievable. All the guys, we deserved it."
[Watch: Andrew Shaw swears on national TV after scoring OT winner]
Yeah, he said it.
"Slip of the tongue," said Shaw in the interview room later, smiling in a calmer moment. "I couldn't think at all, actually. Could barely breathe. I think I made up a word in there, too, actually. I was never good in English."
Not to be too breathless, but there were no words for this.
The night began with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's annual state-of-the-league news conference, a Q&A about all that is bad about the game and the business – the Olympic deal that still isn't done, the future of the Phoenix Coyotes that still isn't settled, the lockout that still isn't six months into history.
Yet the night became about all that is good about the game and the business – two Original Six teams, two recent champions, playing in a packed house, vying to become the first two-time Cup winner in the salary-cap era, generating gobs of hockey-related revenue and giving everyone full value.
This was the kind of game that justified the love hardcore fans have for the NHL despite its flaws, and this was the kind of game that might have intrigued casual fans and even others who just clicked on the TV expecting Leno.
Even though these teams hadn't faced each other for more than 600 days – partly because of the lockout-shortened season – they looked like old rivals. They came out hitting. They went back and forth all night long. Both teams carried the play for stretches. Both teams bounced back when things went against them. Both teams battled through three OTs when their lungs and legs were burning.
"Both teams are just kicking, trying to survive," said Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews. "Every time you go back on the ice, you just try and get that feeling that it's just going to be that one chance that makes the difference. Obviously we got a big one with Shaw going to the net there."
For Boston, the loss was brutal. The Bruins took a 3-1 lead in the third period when Patrice Bergeron pinged a shot in off a post on a power play. But then Torey Krug, a 22-year-old rookie defenseman, playing only his 13th NHL game, threw the puck up the middle. Shaw blocked it at the Boston blue line and fed Bolland for a goal. Then Johnny Oduya fired from the point, and the puck glanced off the inside of the skate of Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference and into the net.
And then came the overtimes.
The Bruins had two power plays when the Blackhawks were caught with too many men on the ice twice. In the first OT, Nathan Horton hit a post (and left with an injury). In the second OT, Tyler Seguin couldn't score on a semi-breakaway and Zdeno Chara fired a shot that hit the skate of Jaromir Jagr and clanked off a post. In the third OT, Kaspars Daugavins, playing only his third game of the playoffs, could have redirected a pass past Crawford. He made a move instead, and he had Crawford down and out, but he couldn't get off a backhand shot. After he came back to the bench, he rested his forehead on top of the boards. Inches. Seconds. Hockey.

RNC votes to boycott CNN, NBC debates if Clinton specials air
(Boston, MA) -- The Republican National Committee is formally threatening to block NBC, MSNBC and CNN from airing 2016 GOP presidential debates in a dispute over planned films about Hillary Clinton. Meeting in Boston, the RNC passed a non-binding resolution condemning a planned NBC movie and a CNN documentary about the former First Lady and Secretary of State. Clinton is the subject of considerable speculation about whether she may seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. She has not publicly confirmed any plans.
The RNC resolution was passed unanimously with no debate. Meantime, the Democratic National Committee accuses the RNC of seeking to limit exposure to GOP presidential candidates. A DNC statement says Republican leaders continue speaking for the "fringes of their party" in an ongoing "sideshow."

Millennials want more innovation, not less
"We are at war with our beloved children, and we are winning," declared Boston University economics professor Laurence Kotlikoff at the 44th annual St. Gallen Symposium last week in Switzerland. I attended this Davos-esque convention of 600 global leaders with 200 next-generation leaders, which focused on the "clash of generations" and the state of the world being left to the Millennials.
The verdict: It's tough being young these days, at least in the United States, where the Pew Research Center notes that "half a century ago, the old were by far the poorest age group in America. Today it is the young."
Kotlikoff and others confessed a number of of inter-generational sins they'd bequeathed to my generation, from unsustainable pension programs to climate change to child poverty. Then he threw in one that seemed to me an odd item for which to seek absolution: technological innovation.
In listing the crimes being committed in the war on the young, Kotlikoff noted, "It's being fought every year when we build smarter and smarter machines that eliminate more and more jobs for our kids." Lady Barbara Judge, chair of the U.K.'s Pension Protection Fund, struck a similar chord in her remarks: "Every time I go to the airport, some other person is removed of their job. Are we technologically putting young people out of jobs and older people out of jobs, and is all change progress?"

Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza Rioja Reserva 2005
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano aged 24 months in oak casks (80% French, 20% American).
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The purple/black-colored 2005 Remirez de Ganuza has a great aromatic array of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, lavender, spice box, and blackberry. Broad, mouth-filling, layered, and structured, this still tightly wound Rioja has all the right stuff. All it needs is another 8-10 years to fully blossom after which it will provide pleasure through 2046. "
International Wine Cellar - "Vibrant purple. Heady aromas of dark berry preserves, rose, bayberry and five-spice powder. Rich and creamy but lively, offering spicy red and dark berry flavors perked up by tangy mineral and cracked pepper notes. Becomes sweeter and smokier with air, finishing with outstanding clarity, focus and length. This is a superb example of the fresh side of this vintage in Rioja."
Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza Winery
This Fernando Remirez de Ganuza's almost 60 hectares of parcels that have been acquiring are distributed in four localities of Alava Rioja: Samaniego, Leza, Elciego, and Laguardia.
In Remirez de Ganuza, one works with fifty hectares of tempranillo (90%) and graciano (10%) located in privileged enclaves of the Alava vineyard.
The deciding factors to obtain a great wine are: the habitat, the microclimate, the direction of the parcels, the low productivity of the stocks and teh age of the vineyard.
The winery is located in the same center of the beautiful town of Samaniego. The splendid big rambling house includes an apple of buildings and is equipped with modern reinforced concrete structures covered with stone of ashlar masonry of between about two or three hundred years of antiquity.
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Pharrell sparks controversy over Native American headdress
Listen to Pharrell Williams on iHeartRadio
Members of the Native American community are not happy over Pharrell Williams' latest headdress.
The "Happy" hittmaker, who quickly became linked to the Vivienne Westwood high hat he wore to the Grammys this year, sports a feathered Native American headdress on the July cover of Elle UK. Critics are calling it offensive and disrespectful to Native American culture and Williams is offering an apology.
In a statement through his publicist the singer said he respects and honors "every kind of race, background and culture," adding, "I am genuinely sorry."
Before the controversy, Elle UK called its cover of Pharrell its "best shoot ever," saying it continues the magazine's "tradition of featuring cult male icons on collector's edition covers." The issue is due out June 15th.

Doctor Constantly Sexted During Surgery, Say Officials
(NEWSER) – There's multitasking and then there's the case of Dr. Arthur Zilberstein: The Seattle anesthesiologist has been suspended over a laundry list of allegations including "moral turpitude" and "preoccupation with sexual matters" that are an apparent result of his near-constant sexting—while he was supervising C-sections and other surgeries. Charges filed against Zilberstein allege that on a single day in 2013, he sent 64 texts, many of them sexually explicit, throughout the course of seven surgeries. As NBC News reports, among the texts was the instant classic, "I'm hella busy with C sections." It's not clear how the texts, sent between at least April 2013 and August 2013, came to light.

Original Message
Police responding to a call about "two black males" breaking into a home near Harvard University ended up arresting the man who lives there — Henry Louis Gates Jr., the nation's pre-eminent black scholar.
Gates had forced his way through the front door because it was jammed, his lawyer said.
Colleagues call the arrest last Thursday afternoon a clear case of racial profiling.
Cambridge police say they responded to the well-maintained two-story home after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry."
By the time police arrived, Gates was already inside. Police say he refused to come outside to speak with an officer, who told him he was investigating a report of a break-in.
"Why, because I'm a black man in America?" Gates said, according to a police report written by Sgt. James Crowley. The Cambridge police refused to comment on the arrest Monday.
Gates — the director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research — initially refused to show the officer his identification, but then gave him a Harvard University ID card, according to police.
"Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him," the officer wrote.
Gates said he turned over his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused. He said he then followed the officer as he left his house onto his front porch, where he was handcuffed in front of other officers
, Gates said in a statement released by his attorney, fellow Harvard scholar Charles Ogletree, on a Web site Gates oversees, TheRoot.com
He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior.
" He was released later that day on his own recognizance. An arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 26.
Gates, 58, also refused to speak publicly Monday, referring calls to Ogletree.
"He was shocked to find himself being questioned and shocked that the conversation continued after he showed his identification," Ogletree said.
Ogletree declined to say whether he believed the incident was racially motivated, saying "I think the incident speaks for itself."
Some of Gates' African-American colleagues say the arrest is part of a pattern of racial profiling in Cambridge.
Allen Counter, who has taught neuroscience at Harvard for 25 years, said he was stopped on campus by two Harvard police officers in 2004 after being mistaken for a robbery suspect. They threatened to arrest him when he could not produce identification.
"We do not believe that this arrest would have happened if professor Gates was white," Counter said. "It really has been very unsettling for African-Americans throughout Harvard and throughout Cambridge that this happened."
The Rev. Al Sharpton is vowing to attend Gates' arraignment.
"This arrest is indicative of at best police abuse of power or at worst the highest example of racial profiling I have seen," Sharpton said. "I have heard of driving while black and even shopping while black but now even going to your own home while black is a new low in police community affairs."
Ogletree said Gates had returned from a trip to China on Thursday with a driver, when he found his front door jammed. He went through the back door into the home — which he leases from Harvard — shut off an alarm and worked with the driver to get the door open. The driver left, and Gates was on the phone with the property's management company when police first arrived.
Ogletree also disputed the claim that Gates, who was wearing slacks and a polo shirt and carrying a cane, was yelling at the officer.
"He has an infection that has impacted his breathing since he came back from China, so he's been in a very delicate physical state," Ogletree said.
Lawrence D. Bobo, the W.E.B Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard, said he met with Gates at the police station and described his colleague as feeling humiliated and "emotionally devastated."
"It's just deeply disappointing but also a pointed reminder that there are serious problems that we have to wrestle with," he said.
Bobo said he hoped Cambridge police would drop the charges and called on the department to use the incident to review training and screening procedures it has in place.
The Middlesex district attorney's office said it could not do so until after Gates' arraignment. The woman who reported the apparent break-in did not return a message Monday.
Gates joined the Harvard faculty in 1991 and holds one of 20 prestigious "university professors" positions at the school. He also was host of "African American Lives," a PBS show about the family histories of prominent U.S. blacks, and was named by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Americans in 1997.
"I was obviously very concerned when I learned on Thursday about the incident," Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust said in a statement. "He and I spoke directly and I have asked him to keep me apprised."

Charge dropped against black Harvard scholar
BOSTON – Prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge Tuesday against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested after forcing his way into his own house in what he and other blacks say was an outrageous but all-too-common example of how police treat them.
The city of Cambridge called the arrest "regrettable and unfortunate," and police and Gates agreed that dropping the charge was a just resolution — though not one that quelled the anger of one of America's top academics.
"I'm outraged," Gates said in extensive comments made to TheRoot.com, a Web site he oversees. "I can't believe that an individual policeman on the Cambridge police force would treat any African-American male this way, and I am astonished that this happened to me; and more importantly I'm astonished that it could happen to any citizen of the United States, no matter what their race.
"There are 1 million black men in the prison system, and on Thursday I became one of them," he said. "I would sooner have believed the sky was going to fall from the heavens than I would have believed this could happen to me. It shouldn't have happened to me, and it shouldn't happen to anyone."
Gates, 58, is director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research and is a documentary host. He was arrested upon his return home from China, where he working on his latest film. He said he's now inspired to work on a documentary about racial profiling.
The city of Cambridge, a Boston suburb, released a statement saying the situation "should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department."
Gates had just arrived from the airport when he realized his front door was jammed and he couldn't get into the tidy house with yellow clapboard that he rents from Harvard. He asked his driver for help.
Supporters say Gates was immediately considered a suspect because officers were summoned by a female caller who said she saw "two black males with backpacks on the porch," one of whom was "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry," according to a police report.
When the officers arrived, Gates was already inside and on the phone with the real estate company that manages the property. He had come in through the back door and shut off the alarm, he said.
Police said Gates was arrested after he yelled at an officer, accused him of racial bias and refused to calm down after the officer demanded that Gates show him identification to prove he lived in the home.
Gates' lawyer, fellow Harvard scholar Charles Ogletree, said his client showed his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused. He followed the officer onto the front porch as he left his house and was arrested there.
Gates told The Root that the police handcuffed him behind his back but moved the cuffs to the front when he told them he walked with a cane. He noted that at least one of the officers in the group outside his house was black.
He spoke of a "terrifying and humiliating" experience at the Cambridge jail, where he was booked, fingerprinted, photographed and questioned, then locked up in a tiny cell that made him claustrophobic.
He said that he doesn't know the woman who called police, Lucia Whalen, and that "she was probably doing the right thing." Whalen didn't respond to Associated Press requests for comment.
Gates said he harbors more anger toward the officer who arrested "the first black man" he saw and arrested him on a "trumped-up charge."
He said he wants an apology from the officer, Sgt. James Crowley, who hasn't responded to a request for an interview from the AP. He also said he planned to talk to his legal team about the next step.
Gates did not respond to AP requests for an interview Tuesday, and Ogletree did not return a request to comment on the charge being dropped. A message was left for the Cambridge police officers' union.
Other prominent blacks called the confrontation a clear example of racial profiling.
"Under any account ... all of it is totally uncalled for," said Earl Graves Jr., CEO of the company that publishes Black Enterprise magazine.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said he was unsatisfied with the resolution.
"The charges have been dropped, but the stain remains. ... Humiliation remains," Jackson said. "These incidents are so much of a national pattern on race."
Gates joined the Harvard faculty in 1991 and holds one of 20 prestigious "university professors" positions at the school. He also was host of "African American Lives," a PBS show about the family histories of prominent U.S. blacks. In 1997, he was named by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Americans.

Fukushima Has Massive Leak of Contaminated Water
(NEWSER) – The Fukushima Dai-ichi nightmare just got even more nightmarish. A storage tank at the devastated nuclear plant has sprung a leak, spilling out roughly 300 tons of contaminated water, Reuters reports. And by contaminated, we mean that standing within a couple feet of it for an hour would give a worker five times the annual upper limit on radiation exposure. "We failed to discover the leak at an early stage," a Tepco official says, which means the monitoring system needs to be checked as well.
