Ground water investigation plods along
Contaminated soil is not the only concern at the Santa Susana Field Lab.
The groundwater that flows beneath the 2,850-acre sandstone mountain, a former rocket engine testing and nuclear research facility, is also tainted.
Just how tainted is a question yet to be answered.
The agencies responsible for the cleanup of the testing site just north of Oak Park have been investigating the contamination since the late 1980s but the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the state agency overseeing the cleanup, says more work needs to be done before remediation can begin.
"It's in the most complicated hydrogeologic environment. . . . They used chemicals out there and did processes out there that just aren't done anywhere else," said Tom Seckington, senior engineering geologist for DTSC. "You add that all together and that makes this a very complicated site. It's a tough nut to crack."
On Aug. 11 at Simi Valley City Hall, representatives from the DTSC presented a Sitewide Groundwater Remedial Investigation Report.
"We want to fully characterize the nature and extent of the contaminants," Seckington told the audience, mostly locals who've been engaged in the cleanup process for years.
"Characterizing the nature" means determining what kind of contaminants are on the site, where they were released and at what volumes. Also being studied is how far and how deep the contaminants have traveled.
Figuring it all out is like solving a puzzle: DTSC must find the missing pieces to get a clear, complete picture of the site.
Though there is disagreement between DTSC and the responsible parties— Boeing, NASA and the Department of Energy—about how much of that puzzle is still missing, Seckington said all sides agree additional investigation is necessary to find out where the contaminants still exist and where they are moving.
The report details recent investigation activities, such as the sampling of wells and the study of seeps, maps and deep corings.
In addition, the report examines the geology and hydrogeology of the site, the persistence of chemicals and other contaminants in the bedrock and groundwater, and the impact of the groundwater on nearby people and animals.
DTSC must approve the final investigative report before corrective measures can be taken.
Residents at the Simi meeting expressed concern over the amount of work that still needs to be done.
"How much more is going to be needed? Are we talking months, years?" asked San Fernando Valley resident Mark Osokow.
Seckington said his time line allows until 2014 to complete the site characterization.
"It's hard for me to say how much more. I can say this, they've done a lot," he said. "Before, in the 1980s, 1990s, we didn't know what we didn't know about this site. At least now we know what we don't know, so we can move forward."
"It's not going to take another 24 years," he said.
Others had questions about the methods that would be used in the cleanup.
It is thought that nearly all of the contaminants lie in a relatively safe rock matrix underneath the site.
But Santa Susana Knolls resident Marie Mason disagrees with and worries that the toxic chemicals won't be fully treated and removed, and could still cause harm.
"If the contamination is coming off the seeps and springs, then it is not being held in the rock," she said. "Living below (the site) with creeks running through my yard . . . I think we need to be sure," Mason said.
DTSC representatives said further study will help identify which corrective measures are necessary.
" We need to get enough information to do an assessment of what technologies will approach the cleanup and be most effective in the cleanup," said Mark Malinowski, DTSC project manager.
Still others were worried that there are offsite data gaps—in particular, that contamination plumes have migrated to the long-dry Chatsworth Reservoir. They said testing should be done to rule out risk to the surrounding community.
But Seckington said the fears are "unlikely" since plumes tend to dwindle as they move out and that if contaminants were moving off site in large concentrations, that trail would be seen in the network of monitoring wells.
"I can't say there's no possibility of anything going off site. Our uncertainty is too high because we don't have enough information yet," he said. "But saying that, do I think anything is rushing off site? We don't have any data to support that."

Elton John Says Jesus Would Be OK With Gay Marriage
In an interview with Sky News, singer Elton John told Dermot Murnaghan that opponents of same-sex marriage might want to take another look at the New Testament.
"The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed," said John. "If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen. He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together and that is what the church should be about."
But John sees a light at the end of the tunnel, citing Pope Francis whom he calls "wonderful".
"He's excited me so much by his humanity," said the singer of the reigning leader of the Roman Catholic Church. "He's taken everything down to the humility of faith. He's stripped it down to the bare bones and said it's all basically about love and inclusiveness. That has to be encouraged by the Church of England as well."
As for a possible marriage to his longtime partner David Furnish in John's native England, the 67-year-old said it could take some time because they're already in a civil partnership, but promises that when it does happen, "it will be very quiet and off the cuff—we had our big shebang when we had our civil union."

A Reminder: Slavery Still Exists
Hundreds of people turned out for the Simon Weisenthal Center Museum of Tolerance's one-day symposium, "A Call to Freedom." The conference, held last month, highlighted the plight of black slaves in Sudan and Mauritania, where today, "tens of thousands of blacks are sold into slavery, raised like slaves and have the deadened expressions of men and women who know no other life but the life of a slave," said Sam Cotton, author of "Silent Terror," a book describing his secret trip to Mauritania where he interviewed slaves.
"In Mauritania, the slavery situation is rooted in race," Cotton said. "The Berber, light-skinned Muslims of the North are enslaving the dark-skinned Muslims of the south. In Sudan, the situation is not of the color of skin as much as it is of religion," Cotton said.
Cotton's "calling to action" came from an unexpected informer: Charles Jacobs, president of the American Anti-Slavery Group was one of the first Americans to bring word of modern-day slavery in Africa to the media. Jacobs, then a full-time management consultant, learned about the state of slavery in Africa by chance. "I was at a seminar, and the man sitting next to me started talking about slavery in Africa. I couldn't believe it was still going on today, and my research led to me creating the group," Jacobs said.
Following Cotton's trip to Mauritania, both men presented the information documented by Cotton, in testimony before Congress.
"For six years, we have been banging on America's door with this story. People are just beginning to respond,"Jacobs said.
California state Sen. Tom Hayden joined the voice of the abolitionist movement, as did U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback. In addition, Pat Robertson and New York state Assemblyman Sheldon Silver vowed to commit their efforts to raising awareness in the U.S.
One resounding, if unexpected, response was from Barbara Vogel and her fifth graders in Aurora, Colo. Presently, the students are the most active abolitionists in the world, raising some $70,000 to buy slaves their freedom. A recent CBS News report on the students' action was shown at the symposium. "We are not politically inspired," Vogel said. "We are abolitionists."
"Although the activity of buying back slaves for freedom is highly controversial, and most certainly not a cure, it is one way individuals have been able to respond without government support," Jacobs said.
At a time when Muslim groups are accusing Jacobs of being involved in a "Jewish plot against the Muslims" and "an FBI trick," little has been done in the U.S. or United Nations — aside from fact-finding — to challenge the Mauritanian government's actions against slavery. "Even though slavery has been outlawed in Mauritania three times by the government, the government understands that culturally, slavery is really due to the drive by Islamic concepts and tradition," Cotton told the symposium audience. "The status of slavery is real, regardless of what the government says."
Most dramatic of all was personal testimony given by former slave Moctar Teyeb. "Slavery is systematic in Mauritania. My family has been enslaved for generations. I was told that this was how God created me," he said, while displaying his deformed arm that never healed properly from a beating when he was 9. "Without the experience of freedom, how could I question it? Slavery is a total damage to your existence. I was driven by a dream of a better life. I once spoke of this desire in the open and was humiliated by my master. At age 19, when sent to the city to meet someone for my master, I escaped. It was when I crossed the Senegal River that I knew I was free."
In light of the upcoming Passover holiday, when Jews recount the tale of their passage through the Red Sea to freedom, Jacobs encouraged Jews not to forget the tradition of extending their attention to those around the world who are not yet free.
"We are a country of abolitionists," Jacobs said. "America tore itself apart over the issue of slavery. Let us today heed our abolitionist calling."
Jacobs suggested that people leave an empty chair at their seder tables for the one without freedom in Africa, place a fourth matzo with the traditional three and read this prayer while holding the fourth matzo:
"We raise this fourth matzo to remind ourselves that slavery still exists, that people are still being bought and sold as property, that the Divine image within them is yet being denied. We make room at our seder table and in our hearts for those in the south of Sudan and in Mauritania who are now where we have been. We have known such treatment in our own history. We have suffered while others stood by and pretended not to see, not to know. We have eaten the bitter herb; we have been taken from our families and brutalized. We have experienced the horror of being forcibly converted. In the end, we have come to know in our very being that none can be free until all are free. And so, we commit and recommit ourselves to work for the freedom of these poor people. May the test of this bread of affliction remain in our mouths until they can eat in peace and security. Knowing that all people are Yours, O God, we will urge our government and all governments to do as You once commanded Pharaoh on our behalf: Shalach et Ami! Let My People Go! May we and they take these words to heart. Amen."

In Elmo Saves Christmas, Santa Claus gets stuck down a chimney, and after Elmo helps Santa get unstuck, Santa gives Elmo a choice between two special presents, a pink bear and a magic snowglobe. Elmo initially wants the bear, before he is told that the magic snowglobe can grant three wishes.
Elmo chooses the snowglobe. He first wishes for a drink of water, then he wishes for Christmas to be every day, and after realising that Christmas is more special if celebrated only once a year, attempts to wish for things to be back to normal, but he accidentally sends the snowglobe flying before he can complete his wish, causing it to crash to the ground and break.
In order to make a wish on the snowglobe, one has to shake the snowglobe, make a wish, and say "Blitzen".

I saw your snarky post today regarding Gabrielle Giffords "hand-written" testimony at the Senate hearing on gun violence.
Your latest status update on Facebook is one of the many examples one could cite when explaining why you will never be considered a serious journalist, or person, of any true intellect. When your career is over, you will be forgotten, subjugated to the oblivion you earn, day-in and day-out, unlike Murrow, Cronkite, Jennings, and also, one whom you could otherwise, with some serious effort, be considered a contemporary of, Rachel Maddow, because you are simply what you strive, and appeal, to; base.
Did you, as any of those aforementioned journalists would have, question why Giffords' testimony was hand-written by her therapist? Did you pose this simplest of questions to the "base," to which you pander? No, you didn't.
You, we can all safely assume why it was hand-written by her therapist. Shame on you for putting forth for, your particular and peculiar, public consumption that she didn't own her testimony, that her testimony was somehow someone else's agenda, for quickening the idea that her passion, and that of her husband, a man of the highest esteem and proven character, is a ploy for public sympathy. Gabrielle Giffords is no man's victim and Mark Kelly is no pimp. They are singularly and collectively possessed of a strength of character that goes beyond a cognitive function.
Your status update today was yet another conscious decision on your part in your endeavor for a life of ignobility. It's who you make yourself into, day by day, and that's your choice. Enjoy it when and while you can.
There is no way to address the complete spectrum of absolute bat-shit crazy in the thread of your status update today. That I'll leave to the qualified, educated professionals certified in the myriad psychoses of you and your followers. But know, Michelle, that the ignorance and hatred and racism and fear-mongering and pure evil that you foment, at your pleasure, is yours and yours alone. It's the bag you're packing to carry with you on your journey. My sincerest wish for you, Michelle, is a very long one, on the road, and with the companionship, of your choosing.

Sell These 5 Toxic Stocks to Avoid a Christmas Crash - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- When everyone's opening presents this Christmas, it's no fun to get coal in your stocking. Likewise, when the market's sitting on new all-time highs this December, it's no fun to see "toxic" names drag your portfolio through the mud.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy Before 2014
I like this market, and the evidence suggests that 2014 will tack on some respectable gains as well. But that doesn't mean that now's a good time to own all stocks. Laggard names are still poisonous to your portfolio in a bull market. Maybe more so.
That's why we're taking a closer look at five "toxic" stocks you should be selling in December. To be fair, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly "junk."
By that, I mean they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, they're some of the worst positioned names out there right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms this summer. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in.
>>Buy the Dips: This Bull Market's Not Over
For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.
So without further ado, let's take a look at five toxic stocks you should be unloading.
Cornerstone OnDemand
First up is Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD), a $2.57 billion software stock that's been on a tear in 2013. Since the first trading session of the year, CSOD has rallied more than 69%. But the upside could be over thanks to a bearish setup that's been forming in shares.
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love
CSOD is currently forming a descending triangle pattern, a bearish setup that's formed by a horizontal support level below shares at $46 and downtrending resistance to the upside. Basically, as CSOD bounces in between those two technical price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakdown below $46. When that happens, we've got a sell signal.
$46 gets some extra strength as a support level because it acted as resistance for shares on the way up back in the summer. The fact that buyers assigned some extra significance to $46 makes it a level that's worth watching on the way down. The 50-day moving average has been a good proxy for resistance on the way down. If you decide to bet against CSOD from here, that's where you'll want to keep a protective stop.
PNC Financial Services Group
Don't be fooled by the 30% premium on shares that $40 billion bank PNC Financial Services Group (PNC) commands today; the stock is starting to look "toppy" in the long-term here.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
PNC is currently forming a double top, a bearish reversal pattern that's formed by two swing highs that top out around the same price level. The sell signal comes on a break below the trough that separates the two tops. For PNC, that support level comes into play at $70.50. If shares slip below that $70.50 level, we've got a sell signal.
Momentum, measured by 14-day RSI, adds some extra confidence to the topping setup in PNC. In the context of the long-term move, a drawn-out downtrend in RSI is still very much intact right now. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a signal that buying pressure is waning in shares of this big bank right now. Still, downside isn't a foregone conclusion until $70.50 gets violated.
We're seeing the exact same setup in shares of UK-based education publisher Pearson (PSO), just in the shorter term. Pearson is showing a double-top of its own right now, with support at $20.75. If $20.75 gets taken out, it's time to be a seller in PSO.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers. Triangles and double tops are a good quick way to explain what's going on in a stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That support level at $20.75 is a price where there had been an excess of demand of shares; in other words, it's a place where buyers were more eager to step in and buy shares at a lower price than sellers were to sell. That's what makes a breakdown below $20.75 so significant. The move would indicate that sellers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess demand above that price level. Wait for that trigger before you sell.
There's an abundance of gaps on Pearson's chart. Those gaps, called suspension gaps, are the result of off-hours trading on the London Stock Exchange. The gaps can be ignored from a technical standpoint.
CVR Refining
Meanwhile, it doesn't take an expert technical analyst to figure out what's going on in shares of $3.3 billion refinery stock CVR Refining (CVRR). This stock is showing traders about as simple a setup as it gets: a downtrending channel. With shares testing resistance this month, it's time to unload CVRR.
>>4 Stocks Breaking Out on Big Volume
CVRR's price channel has provided traders with a high-probability range for shares since the middle of the year. Despite the last four attempts at pushing through trendline resistance, shares have been swatted down on each attempt. A move all the way down to support looks likely at this point.
Relative strength has been bleeding off over the course of 2013, an indication that CVRR isn't just moving lower on an absolute basis, it's digging itself much deeper versus the broad market as the year progresses too. If you still own shares, selling now is likely to spare more of your capital from what's to come.
Last up is $1.3 billion cosmetics name Revlon (REV). Despite a 72% rally since the calendar flipped over to January, Revlon is looking "toppy" from here in the long-term. That means that shareholders should start thinking defensively as REV moves lower into this week.
Revlon is currently forming a head and shoulders top, a bearish reversal setup that indicates exhaustion among buyers. The setup is formed by two swing highs that top out around the same level (the shoulders), separated by a bigger peak called the head; the sell signal comes on the breakdown below the pattern's "neckline" level, which is right at $23.50 at the moment for REV. If this stock can't catch a bid at $23.50, unload it.
REV's outperformance up to this point has been a byproduct of stellar relative strength for the first three quarters of the year. But that uptrend in relative strength broke back at the end of October, and shares have been giving points back ever since. The break in the relative strength line is a big signal that you don't want to own this stock anymore.

Grilled Texas Rib Eye
Most American cooks buy beautifully marbled rib eye steaks without the bone, but Tim Love opts for the heftier bone-in variety. To help keep the steaks extra-juicy, he sears them on the grill, then lets them rest before he finishes cooking.
Plus: F&W's Grilling Guide
Slideshow: More Amazing Steaks
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- Three 1 1/2-pound, bone-in rib eye steaks, about 1 inch thick, at room temperature
- Canola oil, for brushing
- Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
How to make this recipe
Light a grill and heat, covered, until hot. Brush the steaks with oil and season with salt and with pepper. Grill the steaks over high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer the steaks to a carving board and let rest for 10 or up to 30 minutes.
Return the steaks to the hot grill, cover and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning once; the steaks are done when an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 130° for rare or 135° for medium-rare. Return the steaks to the carving board and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steaks across the grain and serve.
Serve With
Mixed green salad.
Suggested Pairing
Argentines eat more beef per capita than people in any other country, so it makes sense that their most popular grape, Malbec, is the perfect steak wine.

Sometimes you need a quick-and-dirty tool to get something done. You're not looking for a long-term solution, but rather just have a simple job to do. As a programmer when you have those thoughts you naturally migrate toward scripting languages. But sometimes that throw away tool also needs to do highly parallel operations with good performance characteristics. Until recently it seemed like you only got to choose one or the other though. And then came Go.
A Use Case
We've been working on an application that provides APIs for other apps. Those APIs are required to be fast and to scale up to many concurrent users. We needed a way to push a lot of traffic to this API while ensuring that the API would access a wide swath of the data in the database. We didn't want to run into the case where the same request was being made over and over allowing the database to end up with an unrealistic scenario where it had all the data cached. There are a number of existing tools for this kind of performance testing, but seeing some of the tests run didn't give us much confidence that they were really running these requests in parallel like we needed. We also wanted to be able to easily run these tests from many different clients computers at once so that we could ensure that the client computers and internet connections were not the bottleneck.
How Does Go Fit That Use Case?
Write-Once (Compile a Few Times) and Run Anywhere
One of the advantages of Go is that it is easy to cross-compile it to other architectures and operating systems. This property made it easy to write a little application that we could run at the same time on Mac OS and Linux. Just like a scripting language it was write-once and run anywhere. Of course we had to compile it for each of the different operating systems but that is incredibly easy with Go. Unlike most scripting languages, once a Go binary is compiled for an OS, nothing else needs to be installed to run it. There's no management of different versions or libraries. A Go binary is entirely self-contained so no extra Go runtime is needed to be installed for the application to be run and all of the depencies are statically linked in. Simply copy the binary to the appropriate machine and execute it. You can't get much simpler than that.
$ brew install go --cross-compile-common $ GOOS=linux go build myapp.go
Libraries for All The Things
Go has a large number of good libraries that come standard. These libraries include support for making HTTP clients and servers. There's support for accessing databases (although the drivers themselves are not included). It includes support for parsing command line arguments, encoding and decoding JSON, for doing cryptography, and for using regular expressions. Basically it includes a lot of libraries that you need for creating applications whether it's something you want to maintain forever or whether it's a throw away app.
flag.BoolVar(&help, "h", false, "help")
resp, err := http.Get("http://example.com/")
var exampleResp MyJsonResponse
decoder := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body)
err = decoder.Decode(&exampleResp)
Concurrent Design and Parallel Execution
Goroutines allow a program to execute a function concurrently with other running code. Channels allow for different goroutines to communicate by passing messages to each other. Those two things together allow for a simple means of structuring code with a concurrent design.
ch := make(chan int)
go func() {
for {
val := <-ch fmt.Printf("Got an int: %v", val) } }() ch <- 1 ch <- 2
In addition to having easy mechanisms to implement a concurrent design, your program also needs to be able to do actual work in parallel. Go can run many different goroutines in parallel and gives you control over how many run at the same time with a simple function call.
Put The Pieces Together
Bringing together those libraries and a concurrent design allows us to easily create a program that meets our needs for testing these APIs.
This is a simple application that does GET requests to a specific URL. The program allows you to specify the URL, the number of requests to make, and the number to run concurrently. It uses many of the libraries I mentioned above for handling HTTP, for parsing command line arguments, for calcuating the duration of requests, etc. It also uses goroutines to allow for multiple simultaneous requests to be made while using a channel to communicate the results back to the main program.
package main
import (
var help bool
var count int
var concurrent int
var url string
var client *http.Client
func init() {
client = &http.Client{}
flag.BoolVar(&help, "h", false, "help")
flag.IntVar(&count, "n", 1000, "number of requests")
flag.IntVar(&concurrent, "c", runtime.NumCPU() + 1, "number of concurrent requests")
flag.StringVar(&url, "u", "http://127.0.0.1:5000/", "url")
func main() {
if help {
fmt.Printf("Concurrent: %v\n", concurrent)
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(concurrent + 2)
runChan := make(chan int, concurrent)
resultChan := make(chan Result)
var wg sync.WaitGroup
success_cnt := 0
failure_cnt := 0
var durations []time.Duration
var min_dur time.Duration
var max_dur time.Duration
// Run the stuff
dur := duration(func() {
// setup to handle responses
go func() {
for {
r := <-resultChan durations = append(durations, r.Duration) min_dur = min(min_dur, r.Duration) max_dur = max(max_dur, r.Duration) // 200s and 300s are success in HTTP if r.StatusCode < 400 { success_cnt += 1 } else { fmt.Printf("Error: %v; %v\n", r.StatusCode, r.ErrOrBody()) failure_cnt += 1 } wg.Done() } }() // setup to handle running requests wg.Add(count) go func() { for i:=0; i < count; i++ { <-runChan fmt.Printf(".") go func() { resultChan <- Execute() runChan <- 1 }() } }() // tell N number of requests to run, but this limits the concurrency for i := 0; i < concurrent; i ++ { runChan <- 1 } wg.Wait() }) fmt.Printf("\n") fmt.Printf("Success: %v\nFailure: %v\n", success_cnt, failure_cnt) fmt.Printf("Min: %v\nMax: %v\n", min_dur, max_dur) fmt.Printf("Mean: %v\n", avg(durations)) fmt.Printf("Elapsed time: %v\n", dur.Seconds()) } func avg(durs []time.Duration) time.Duration { total := float64(0) for _, d := range durs { total += d.Seconds() } return time.Duration((total / float64(len(durs))) * float64(time.Second)) } func min(a time.Duration, b time.Duration) time.Duration { if a != 0 && a < b { return a } return b } func max(a time.Duration, b time.Duration) time.Duration { if a > b {
return a
return b
func Execute() Result {
var resp *http.Response
var err error
dur := duration(func() {
resp, err = http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
return Result{dur, -1, err, ""}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var body string
if b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body); err == nil {
body = string(b)
} else {
body = ""
return Result{dur, resp.StatusCode, nil, body}
type Result struct {
Duration time.Duration
StatusCode int
Err error
Body string
func (r *Result) ErrOrBody() string {
if nil != r.Err {
return r.Err.Error()
} else {
return r.Body
func duration(f func()) time.Duration {
start := time.Now()
return time.Now().Sub(start)
The app we wrote started out a lot like this; easy and straightforward. As we needed to add more tests we stated refactoring out types to allow me to separate the core of the load testing and calculation of times from the actual requests run. Go provides function type aliases, higher order functions and a lot of other abstractions which make those refactorings quite elegant. But that's for a different post...

"We've had more downs that we've normally encountered. In the whole spectrum you can fit into from being very, very good to being very, very bad, and we're somewhere in the middle of that. ... Had I known the outcome at the beginning of the season, I would have been disappointed with it."
"If you do encounter that, it would be wise probably to swim elsewhere, ... Just be mindful of your and their environment."
"We were ... not surprised but disappointed by the very stubborn and obdurate reaction we encountered in Belgrade,"
"It is beyond question that had this encounter occurred on the street it would be constitutional. The fact that an encounter takes place on a bus does not on its own transform standard police questioning of citizens into an illegal seizure,"
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."

Country Couples 'Go Blue' for Colon Cancer
Josh Turner and his wife and band member, Jennifer, along with Linda Davis and her singer-songwriter husband, Lang Scott, will perform at the third annual The Stars Go Blue benefit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville on March 16. Proceeds from the event will go to the Blue Note Fund, which provides financial support for colon cancer patients in need of help as they go through treatment for the disease. Blue is the color of colon cancer, which is the reason behind the title of the event.
The theme of this year's show is "Couples in Country Music," and also performing is Stars Go Blue creator and producer-artist Charlie Kelley with his wife, GAC personality Nan Kelley. Charlie, who was once a member of the '90s country group Buffalo Club and has been playing guitar on the road with Jamie O'Neal and Laura Bell Bundy, was diagnosed and treated for colon cancer at the age of 40 in late 2008 — just three weeks after his wife successfully completed treatment for a different form of cancer.
"I truly felt like I had been given a second shot at life and was called to do something with it," Charlie told The Boot. "So, I phoned my friends in the business to help me create this event to give back to the Colon Cancer Alliance, an organization that really helped me through a tough time."
The last two years have featured performances by Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Hal Ketchum, Jamie O'Neal, Rodney Crowell and Wade Hayes, among others, helping to raise more than $30,000.

The judgment of phryne will not commend itself more to maids and matrons who love their limits.
phryne served as a model to Praxiteles, for his Venus of Cnidus.
What woman could repeat, without risk, the tranquil action of phryne?
Nature pleads the cause of pleasure as Hyperides pleaded that of phryne.
Those of phryne were so ample that she offered to rebuild the walls of Thebes.
The Athenian judges acquitted phryne because she was beautiful.
What resplendent beauty that must have been which could have authorized phryne to "peel" in the way she did!
Then phryne told him of her trick, and chose the Cupid, or Eros, for her gift.
Praxiteles carved a statue of phryne in gold, and the work stood in a place of honour in the temple of Apollo at Delphi.
phryne, a freed-woman, and not content with a single admirer, consumes me.

CNN presented Michael J. Fox as the "center" of controversy spurred by Limbaugh smears
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
The October 24 edition of CNN's The Situation Room featured a report on nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh's accusation that actor Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, may have exaggerated the effects of his disease in a campaign ad for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. Blitzer introduced the segment, asserting that Fox was "at the center of a campaign controversy." Correspondent Mary Snow did not clarify the nature of the controversy -- over comments made by Limbaugh, not Fox -- until about halfway through her two-minute-and-20-second report.
Intermittently throughout the segment, CNN showed text at the bottom of the screen that read: "Fox ads in good or bad taste?"
A spokesman for McCaskill's opponent, Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO), denounced Limbaugh's comments on the October 24 edition of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, saying: "I'm certain Senator Talent would never make a comment like that. It's just inappropriate."
From the October 24 edition of The Situation Room
BLITZER: His face and name are very well-known, and so is his disease. Michael J. Fox, the actor who's long publicly talked about having Parkinson's, is now at the center of a campaign controversy. Let's go to our Mary Snow. She's in New York, she's joining us to explain. Mary?
SNOW: Well, Wolf, it started out as a powerful moment during the World Series. Something you wouldn't see in the stands, but at home during a commercial break.
We've seen him before campaigning on behalf of stem cell research, but this year, television viewers could clearly see the toll Parkinson's disease has taken on Michael J. Fox.
FOX [video clip]: They say all politics is local, but that's not always the case. What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans. Americans like me.
SNOW: Fox is campaigning for Missouri U.S. Senate candidate and Democrat Claire McCaskill. In the ad, Fox urges voters not to support Republican Senator Jim Talent.
FOX [video clip]: Unfortunately, Senator Jim Talent opposes expanding stem cell research. Senator Talent even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance for hope.
SNOW: Fox did similar ads for Democrats in Wisconsin and Maryland. It drew a strongly delivered response from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who, on his nationally syndicated show, called into question why Fox was shaking so much.
LIMBAUGH [audio clip]: This is really shameless, folks. This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication, or he's acting. One of the two.
SNOW: Some conservatives who oppose embryonic stem cell research don't agree with the way Limbaugh handled it.
RAMESH PONNURU [National Review senior editor]: I don't think Republicans are going to be hurt because one talk show host, however influential, said something foolish, although it wasn't helpful. I think the key thing that Republicans are going to have to do is explain that these ads oversimplify the issues.
SNOW: Embryonic stem cell research has gained much attention in Missouri because there's a state ballot initiative that basically supports stem cell research and any therapies that come of it. Proponents of the initiative have spent nearly $3 million in advertising, compared to the $111,000 from the opposition. Still, there is competition on the airwaves.
WOMAN [video clip from ad]: Embryonic stem cell research will require millions of eggs, and women will pay a terrible price.
SNOW: And while campaigning, Fox has taken issue with critics of embryonic stem cell research who've raised concerns about human cloning and egg farms. He said he is opposed to that. Wolf.
BLITZER: Mary Snow reporting for us. Mary, thanks very much.

One unfortunate aspect of living in Manchester is its famous dismal, rainy weather . Since the end of August is still technically summer, we decided to defy the gloomy weather by helping ourselves to homemade lemonade.
Ingredients: 3 lemons, 2 limes, 1 cup of sugar, 7 cups of water, lemon slices and ice for decoration, cold Mancunion weather (optional)
Take one cup of sugar and 1 cup of water and heat gently on the stove until the all the sugar is dissolved. Add the sugar syrup to the juice of the lemons and limes in a jug, and add the remaining cups of water. You might want to add more water if its too strong for you. Chill and serve.
To make it extra citrusy, you can juice the lemons as normal and boil the spent lemons in the water and leave to cool. You might want to make sure that the lemons are wax-free first.

Microsoft may take AOL stake: report
Page Tools
Time Warner is in discussions with Microsoft regarding cooperation on its America Online internet division, sources close to the media giant say.
The source partly confirmed a New York Post report on the discussions, but said the newspaper's portrayal that the talks were over a sale of a stake in AOL was "hyped."
"Discussions have occurred for some time," the source indicated, on "how AOL could be better leveraged."
The Post, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter, characterised the rumblings as "advanced discussions" and said Microsoft would combine a stake in AOL with MSN if a deal were struck.
The Wall Street Journal meanwhile reported there were talks between Microsoft and Time Warner on taking an AOL stake as part of a broader discussion about the two companies working together.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said one key point is whether AOL would switch to using Microsoft's search engine.
AOL uses Google's search technology and was Google's single largest source of revenue last year, according to the Journal.
Analysts said that, while unconfirmed, a tie-up between the two giants would not be inconceivable.
"I think it makes some sense; it's just consolidation like anything else," said Garban Institutional Equities analyst Richard Williams. "You take two weaker players and combine them for strength."
Microsoft is the world's largest software group but has failed to become a major player with its MSN internet service. AOL is a longtime market leader in internet but has been losing customers rapidly amid a switch to high-speed services.
At Deutsche Bank, analyst Todd Raker commented in a research bulletin that he had "no reason to doubt this report."
"The timing of the story is interesting" from Time Warner's standpoint, said Ben Silverman, telecom analyst at FindProfit. "We believe the story was probably floated in an effort to prove to Wall Street that the company can unlock shareholder value without being forced to."
Silverman said anything to help boost Time Warner's flagging stock was a welcome idea. AOL, he said, was a "dinosaur," a dial-up business in a world that is increasingly turning to broadband.
"The selling point was always that it was simple, but now, people have all ages have become attuned to using the internet."

Creative Holiday Cooking Gifts for Kids — The Product Pureeby Catherine McCord in Family, Holidays, December 17th, 2012
Coming up with creative holiday gifts for kids can be a real challenge, but to my surprise, several kids I know have been asking their parents for cooking equipment this year. Why not? Half of the tools in my kitchen are better than toys in some respects. Just this morning my son turned my trussing string into rope for his crane to lift my favorite whisk.
If you're looking for an out-of-the-box idea that will keep kids excited about and engaged in cooking, here are a few things I'll be giving this year:
- Even small kids deserve their own cutlery, especially when it's made from a safe material like bamboo.
- Send your child into the new year with a super cool, BPA-free reusable lunchbox.
- Let your nut-free child walk around feelin' cool with these kickin' tattoos.
- What's more fun than letting your child pick their own popsicle flavors and turn them into these rocket pop shapes.
- My kids take immense pride in having their own stainless steel reusable water bottles and they're the right price point.
- For the budding baker in your home ,this baking kit will be a hit.
- I've seen even the pickiest of eaters decide they'll try a new food when eating with these chopsticks for boys and girls.
My godson has been asking for an ice cream maker for years. I think this is the year. He can come up with array of flavors throughout the seasons — that will be an endless treat!
Catherine McCord is a food blogger and mother of two living in Los Angeles. Her recipes and tips for nutritious and easy family eating are featured daily on her blog, Weelicious.com, and in her new cookbook Weelicious: One Family. One Meal.

This spider belongs to the family of spiders that spin
their webs in spirals - the orb weavers. The Arrowshaped
Micrathena hangs in the center of its orb web and can
be mistaken for a bit of wood, bark, or leaf.
The male spider is 1/4 inch long and the female is
only slightly larger, up to 3/8 inch long. The brightly
colored abdomen is elevated and covered with pairs of
pointed spines (the males lack spines). It has an enlarged
pair of spines toward the rear of the abdomen that give
this spider its arrowhead shape.
The Arrowshaped Micrathena is found in the Eastern
United States and as far west as Nebraska. It is usually
found hanging in its web in woodlands or in gardens.
Sometimes it will weave a short zigzag band to strengthen
its web above the central orb hole.
This spider feeds on small flying insects that it catches
in its web.
The spines on the abdomen of the Arrowshaped Micrathena
serve as a kind of armor to protect it from predators
such as birds, lizards, flying insects, or other animals.
Despite its armor, the Arrowshaped Micrathena often
falls victim to the mud dauber wasp. This wasp will
paralyze the spider by stinging it and then encasing
the spider in one of the chambers of its mud nest.

I agree almost totally with Ken McLaughlin's assertion that Uganda's homophobia has been exacerbated (not created) by outside influences:
Care needs to be taken not to overstate the influence of three extreme and objectionable American evangelical Christians. Ugandans are not empty vessels waiting to be filled with whatever nonsense such people pour forth. The reasons for the current anti-homosexual climate are complex, influenced by historical, social, religious and cultural factors. However, the role of the West, from the colonial to the contemporary period, is of relevance when considering what is happening in Uganda today.
Attitudes to homosexuality in Uganda, as in most countries, have varied historically – at points being tolerant, at others intolerant. However, the current criminalisation of homosexuality is a legacy of British colonialism, whereby the colonial powers sought to punish local practices that they deemed to constitute 'unnatural sex'. More recently, the US administration under George W Bush praised Uganda's heterosexual, family-values policies and donated millions of dollars to sexual abstinence programmes. And now, Uganda finds itself being used as a proxy site for Western culture wars, with politicians, church leaders, gay and anti-gay activists getting involved in the debate and escalating the situation.
It is indisputable, in my opinion, that homophobia in Uganda and elsewhere has become a major political issue in part because of outside factors and influence. In those countries, it is used as both a political and an identity tool (identity politics here again is key); it is a way to reaffirm the omnipotence of traditional values which are seen as the basis of an imagined 'Africanity' which is seen as under assault from the outside world and oneeds to be revived to fix all problems including the one of development. I don't believe that the world should remain silent in front what is happening to Uganda, but rather that it should not make it an issue as one between the 'West' and the 'rest' by moralizing it, but rather should simply humanize it to avoid stupid debates about colonialism, neocolonialism, cultural imperialism, and every other silly pretexts used to justify the unjustifiable.

On Friday, February 1, I gave a 30-minute talk titled "The Stargate Switch" during NAU's Friday Afternoon Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar (FAMUS). As the name of the seminar suggests, the target audience for FAMUS is undergraduates. Here is the abstract for my talk.
An episode of Stargate SG-1 features a two-body mind-switching machine which will not work more than once on the same pair of bodies. The plot centers around two disjoint pairs of individuals who swap minds but subsequently wish they could reverse the process. We will discuss the mathematics behind the solution to this problem, as well as some generalizations.
This was my third FAMUS talk of the academic year, but my first of the semester. My first FAMUS talk was titled On an open problem of the symmetric group and my second talk was titled Euler's characteristic, soccer balls, and golf balls.
In the 1999 episode "Holiday" from season 2 of Stargate SG-1, the character Ma'chello tricks Daniel into swapping minds with him. In an attempt to save Daniel, Jack and Teal'c accidentally swap minds, after which they then discover a limitation: the machine will not work more than once on the same pair of bodies. Physicist Samantha Carter saves the day by improvising a sequence of 4 switches that brings everyone back to normal.
In two recent papers, R. Evans and L. Huang from the University of California, San Diego, study the mathematics behind the Stargate Switch Problem, and generalize the solution to permutations involving $m$ pairs of bodies.
- Evans, R., & Huang, L. (2012). The Stargate Switch. [arXiv]
- Evans, R., & Huang, L. (2012). Mind switches in Futurama and Stargate. [arXiv]
The limitation of the machine in Stargate SG-1 is the same as the one suffered by the mind-switching machine in Futurama's 2010 episode "The Prisoner of Benda". However, the Stargate Switch, and Evans and Huang's generalization, is a special case of the problem posed in Futurama. In the general case, we need to introduce two outsiders to solve the problem. But the Stargate Switch can be solved without the addition of outsiders (as long as we have at least 2 pairs of bodies).
The solution to the dilemma in Futurama is known as the Futurama Theorem and was proved by Ken Keeler, who is one of the show's writers and has a PhD in applied mathematics. I've given a few talks about the Futurama Theorem and if you want to know more, check out my recent blog post located here.
As with my previous talks about the Futurama Theorem, I utilized deck.js to create HTML slides and I used MathJax to typeset all of mathematical notation. One advantage of this approach is that it allows you to view the slides directly in your web browser. You can view the slides by going here. To advance the slides, just use your arrow keys. Also, you can get an overview of the slides by typing "m" or go to a specific slide by typing "g".

U2 have reportedly hit the studio for the follow up to Grammy-winning 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb'.
U2 have begun working on their first studio album in four years. The rock band fronted by Bono are reported to be in a Dublin studio to begin on the follow-up to "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (2004).
Producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois will once again give assistance in this album. "We're going to try and break new sonic ground and deliver a masterpiece," Lanois told Billboard.com. "The sleeves are rolled up. Bono is all charged up with a lyrical angle."
Some materials have been penned while they were on tour last year and the band have spent time working on them on three prior occasions in France and Morocco. Due to the enormous amount of materials, the project could possibly stretch to two CDs. "There's so much material," Lanois continued. "When you get Eno and I and those guys in the room, before lunch there's like eight things."
No date has been scheduled for its release.
On other news, the band's debut album "Boy" which was originally released in 1980 will be re-released on May 20.

It's not the most talked about competition for the Buffalo Bills.
But it's still pretty competitive.
Incumbent punter Shawn Powell and free-agent Brian Stahovich have been challenging each other for the starting punter position throughout OTAs and mandatory mini-camp. According to buffalobills.com, the race is surprisingly tight and will continue into training camp.
"In this business everywhere you go there's going to be stiff competition," Powell told buffalobills.com.
Last season, Powell displayed a powerful leg, kicking long punts with high hang times. He averaged 44 yards a punt and kicked 23 punts inside the 20-yard-line.
Stahovich, meanwhile, faced off against Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee during the Colt's camp. Stahovich, according to the Bills' website, has impressed coaches with his accuracy and consistency.
"I learned a lot from both Pat and Adam Vinatieri last year at Indianapolis," Stahovich said. "One of the biggest things that you realize is there's always going to be competition. It's the best 32, and if you're 33 you're sitting at home on the couch. There's always going to be someone coming after you, so pretty much your entire career is competing each year for your spot."
Besides battling each other, both punters will also have to show team officials they can kick in the chaotic, Buffalo weather. Powell was the Bills' punter during three December home games, while Stahovich has experience with some tricky weather from his college years.
"I knew coming into it that when you come to Buffalo you can expect wind, so I kind of put it in my mind that it was something I have to deal with and if I don't deal with it I won't be here," Powell told buffalobills.com. "It's one of those things where I made myself get better at it. When I came in I knew the wind was going to be a difficult thing for me because I've never really played in a lot of wind. I've played in some cold places, but not really windy. Having the one year in Buffalo really helped and it's just about continuing to grow and get it down."
For now, both punters are trying to show they are the right person for the job.
"You just have to do your thing every day and punt your game," said Stahovich. "At the end of the day if I'm the best or he's the best or they bring in somebody else, as long as you did all you could and left everything out on the field then you can walk away from it."

Contest Starts Today. Some of you have already begun to post your Apparel items. Love it!
Check out this sweet ride. Om Electra beach cruiser complete with a Riley Blake fabric basket liner (made by Jina).
Seriously I love this bike. It is totally Riley Blake and I am going to have a hard time giving it away.
Leather handles and leather seat, and of course it has a sweet sounding bell.
Why Cruisin with Riley Blake?
It is my husband Bret's idea. He bought me a beach cruiser for Christmas, which was a big surprise (not this same one but very cute). I love my bike and I know I will love it even more when the weather warms up enough for me to take it outside. It does look great in the corner of my bedroom and is an excellent clothes hanger …Anyhoo we were talking, bret and I, about give-aways in 2011 and he had this fantastic idea of a 3 beach cruiser bike contest with and ultimate Caribbean cruise give-away at the end of the year. My husband is always the big idea person and it took us until now to get everything in place! Who knew there were so many rules on contests/give-aways using facebook. So here you go.
Our first cruiser bike will go to an apparel item, our next bike a quilt and our last bike give-away will go to a home decor item that uses a sew together product. All products using Riley Blake fabric of course, see contest rules for details. Everyone can enter as long as you are not an employee, vendor (meaning we buy your products to sell), or manufacturer. Pattern does not need to be original. We are also awarding second and third place prizes. But the good news is that anyone who posts a picture is entered in to the drawing for our Ultimate Caribbean cruise give-away at the end of the year (unless no one buys our fabric and it will be a cruise of the Great Salt Lake…jk).
Here is our flyer:
So visit a fabric shop and choose your favorite Riley Blake fabric and make and post something fantastic. We can't wait to see what you create!
