Conservative pundits berated CBS for faulty journalism -- then smeared Lockhart
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Conservative pundits assailed CBS's journalistic practices -- and then proceeded to spread unsupported speculation about Kerry-Edwards '04 campaign senior adviser Joe Lockhart. While criticizing CBS's decision to broadcast memos regarding President George W. Bush's National Guard service, which the network can no longer vouch for, conservative pundits Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, Tony Blankley, and Neal Boortz suggested with no credible evidence that Lockhart might be behind the documents.
On the September 20 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity suggested that Lockhart may have been involved in "creat[ing] the forged documents." On MSNBC's Scarborough Country later that evening, Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley claimed that "Lockhart is [was] almost certainly lying" when he denied speaking with retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett about the National Guard documents. On the same program, MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan said that in light of Lockhart's purported role, "Kerry would be well advised" to remove Lockhart from his campaign. Blankley added that because Lockhart was "caught doing the dirty work," he "will be fired within 48 to 72 hours. ... This is at the Haldeman stage of firings already." (H.R. Haldeman was chief of staff under President Richard M. Nixon and a key Watergate scandal figure.) On September 21, nationally syndicated radio host Neal Boortz claimed CBS "asked Joe Lockhart to talk to Bill Burkett about these forged documents." Boortz then said, "It looks for all the world like the Kerry campaign was right in the middle of this forged documents scandal."
Lockhart had a short telephone conversation with Burkett (who CBS revealed was the source of the documents on September 20) a few days before the documents were aired on CBS's 60 Minutes. According to both men, the memos regarding Bush's National Guard service did not even come up during their talk. On September 20, USA Today reported: "Burkett said his interest in contacting the campaign was to offer advice in responding to Republican criticisms about Kerry's Vietnam service. It had nothing to do with the documents." USA Today also noted: "Lockhart also said that the documents never came up in his conversation with Burkett."

Most restoration work at Northwest Seaport is done as a class or workshop, teaching the traditional skills of woodworking, rigging, engine repair and other maritime trades. The Seaport's workforce development programs engage people in real career development options or because their just curious about working on ships regularly.
Teaching is also central to preservation. Northwest Seaport is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of maritime heritage in this region and strives to preserve both its historic vessels as well as the knowledge and skills to maintain them.
Boatwright in Residence Program. For example, Christine Jacobson arrived from the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock and was the fall 2012 hire under this program run jointly between Northwest Seaport and The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB). The program provides young professional boatwrights a 10-week position working on small craft at CWB and on Northwest Seaport's big 120ft tugboat, Arthur Foss. Some of Northwest Seaport's vocational training is done through this program. In 2014 Christine has been working at Port Townsend Rigging.
Read about her work on tug ARTHUR FOSS.
Archaeologist in Residence. Saxon Bisbee participated in this Seaport professional training program in 2013. This program provides young professionals a rare hands on opportunity to apply their training on a large vessel. Saxon is an East Carolina University Program in Maritime Studies graduate (2012). Read about his work on lightship No. 83 "Swiftsure."
Job Skills and Work Exchange. This program supports both the participant and vessels. Participants typically include students, high-volume volunteers, AmeriCorps members and staff requiring housing. Program participants learn from direct exposure to vessel operations and from providing visitor services. Staying aboard Arthur Foss creates a sense of shipboard camaraderie among program participants who often continue social contact with their program peers. NOTE: the Jobs Skills & Work Exchange Program is not a vessel rental program.
Veteran shipwright Brian Johnson of Ocean Bay Marine is Jacobson's professional mentor in this program.
His 40 years as a west coast shipwright enables him to give her training and work experience not available elsewhere. For someone just starting out in the field, it is a precious opportunity to learn from an extremely experienced shipwright and to work on a vessel of unusually heavy construction. Read about Brian Johnson's efforts aboard ARTHUR FOSS.

The trans-Pacific double act played out yesterday by
Both chairman and chief executive assert that the major miners now have more projects than cash flows can afford to develop and this sudden complication of options will see only the most valuable projects secure a share of these dwindling pools of internal capital.
Overnight on Tuesday Kloppers made it abundantly clear to investors in South Beach, Florida that BHP's capital program will be pruned to meet slowing cash flows with the paradoxical result being that it actually has a greater complexity of immediate options.
"Clearly what we have seen over the last 12 months or so is that our projected rate of cash generation has changed and so, on balance, while we still want to invest throughout the cycle, it just means that our ability to do those projects will change as the cash flow generation changes,'' Kloppers said in response to a question.
And just about 12 hours later and half a world away in Sydney, while equities markets pounded the resources sector with particular prejudice, Nasser made it equally plain that Australia's once attractive investment metrics were being uniquely complicated by a flawed industrial relations system and by an uncompetitive and uncertain taxation environment.
A month more than two years into term and Nasser is clearly now comfortable in his BHP chairman's skin. Certainly comfortable enough to express raw frustration and muted anger at Australia's failure to grasp the nettle of domestic reform or to appreciate that it is losing a long-held leadership in the global contest for resources investment because its political elite do not appear to understand that there is actually a race to be won.
The immediate importance of this concert of commentary from BHP's most senior is that by year's end the board of the Global Australian is expected to be asked for a "yay" or "nay" on Olympic Dam's metamorphosis from underground to open cut and the equally challenging Outer Harbour project at Port Hedland.
At stake is maybe $US50 billion and more of investment in two projects that rank as the most expensive and complex minerals projects undertaken in Australia.
The betting is that BHP will sign-off on the $US20 billion Outer Harbour project by year's end and extend the time frame for the OD project but commit enough capital up-front to fulfil the requirements of the state indenture agreement that requires a start on major works by December.
The state of BHP's capital investment program has been a subject of considerable debate.
Some investors have made very public a preference for a bigger shareholder slice of the cash flow pie while others seem content to back management's long ambitions.
The company, meanwhile, has quietly shifted its rhetoric, no longer talking about its $US80 billion project pipeline and focusing instead on the prudence of its capital allocation processes while putting out spot-fires of doubt fuelled by the $US20 billion plunge on US shale gas.
Kloppers served to inform that discussion in Florida noting that the current environment of declining cash flows and expanding challenge required that BHP "be careful to approve projects in sequences that maximise value, reduce risk and balance the considerations of short and long term returns.''
Kloppers drew on the Outer Harbour's progress as a source of insight into BHP's investment strategy and confirmed the company's view that China's growth, as expressed in steel demand, would continue at a slower rate but from an ever higher base through until 2025.
At that point the boom starts to eat itself as the first generation boom-time buildings start being replaced with the used steel feeding into the scrap market.
The result is that BHP reckons China will import about 1.45 billion tonnes a year of iron ore by 2025, an increase of 650 million tonnes a year.
Given doubts expressed by Nasser about the timing of China's peak steel output – and therefore the quantum of its external iron ore demand – this re-assertion of the timelines and prospective volumes by the CEO sets the stage for the decision on the Outer Harbour.
But demand is only part of an equation that includes how much higher up the cost curve the project might push BHP's Pilbara operations and how you balance that inevitability against the potential that if you don't progress on schedule then the window of demand will close before you can make your pay-back hurdles.
Given BHP can spend $US20 billion on Outer Harbour and leave itself comfortable at the lowest ebbs of the cost curve, the next question is whether there are better options available to it, be they mega or more routine projects or turning the cash to capital management?
Now, the consensus remains OH will get done. But both Nasser and Kloppers yesterday issued reminders that, right now, both OH and OD remain options among many and that each could be undone by Europe's macabre dilemma and its impact on commodities demand and pricing and BHP's cash flows or by issues more particular to Australia.
For his part, Kloppers offered some insight into the cerebral delicacies of the dilemma ahead.
"Having worked very hard to generate these options, producers in many cases now find themselves with fundamentals that have changed since they started working on those options,'' Klopper started.
Now, chief executives don't often like talking about the challenges of others, so for "producers'' plural I reckon we'd be safe inserting "BHP Billiton'' singular.
Kloppers introduced the changed circumstances for "producers'' as the swings in the terms of trade that have made certain 'producer' currencies stronger, continuing project inflation fed in part by the industry's own demand for goods and services and the fact that host governments continue to "pile on royalties and more onerous regulatory burdens''.
Perhaps to avoid the insult of bagging his host nation from afar, he manfully avoided the temptation to identify Australia as a home for each of these margin-tapping drifts in competitive standing.
Nasser, on the other hand, was on home turf and felt no such obligation.
After identifying BHP as the nation's biggest tax payer and describing our tax system as uncompetitive, BHP's chairman asked simply for stability rather than tax reform. And he was rather less indulgent of the state of our industrial relations and the system that guides it.
"It is the right of governments to set the tax regime but I cannot overstate how the level of uncertainty about Australia's tax system is generating negative investor reaction. People don't know where it's going," he said.
"In time we will need to address the complexity of our layered tax systems and ensure that they are competitive on a global basis.
"But at this point in time constant discussion about change creates substantial uncertainty which in turn changes sentiment and the dynamics of long term investment,'' Nasser said.
Now, in this space and elsewhere, we have been banging on about the flaws of the Fair Work Act for the better part of 18 months.
So Nasser's strident observations on the new regime were music to these ears, at least.
He noted that a much more difficult industrial relations environment "has not only affected productivity but has resulted in management being unable to operate its business in a fair and consistent way for all stakeholders''.
"Over the last year, in our Queensland coal business alone, we have faced 3200 incidents of industrial action.
"We have received over 1000 notices of intention to take industrial action – and then approximately 500 notices withdrawing that action given on less than 24 hours notice.
"Restrictive labour regulations have quickly become one of the most problematic factors for doing business in Australia,'' he said.

Brown Argus
Aricia agestis (a-RISS-ee-uh a-JEST-iss)
< Previous SpeciesNext Species >
Unlike most other "blues", the Brown Argus has no blue scales on its upperside, both sexes being primarily brown in colour as its common name suggests, although the butterfly does exhibit a blue sheen when at certain angles to the light. Both sexes have beautiful orange spots on the upperside of both forewings and hindwings. This widespread species can be found south of a line between Dorset in the west and South-east Yorkshire in the east, along with colonies in Derbyshire, North Devon, East Cornwall and West Cornwall. It is also found in north and south Wales, but is absent from central Wales. This species is also absent from Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. This species occurs in small, compact colonies, and is not a great wanderer, only travelling a couple of hundred metres, at most, from where it emerged.
Taxonomy Notes
Zeller (1847) described the summer generation of A. agestis as f. aestiva, having a deep brown-grey underside.
This species was first defined in Denis & Schiffermüller (1775) as shown here (type locality: Vienna, Austria).
The table below shows a chronology of vernacular names attributed to this species. Any qualification of the name (e.g. male, female) is shown in brackets after the name.

The table above shows the occurrence (distribution) and abundance (population) trends, using information from The State of the UK's Butterflies 2015 (Fox, 2015). Any UK BAP status is taken from the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP) (2007 review).
Colonies are typically found on chalk or limestone downland where the foodplant is abundant. However, this species can also be found on heathland and in open woodland.

This species generally has 2 broods a year in central and southern England, with only a partial second brood in north Wales and the north of England. In good years, a partial 3rd generation may appear in the south. The adults emerge first in central and southern England in early May, peaking at the end of May and beginning of June, and giving rise to a second brood that emerges at the end of July. In north Wales and northern England, the first emergence starts in early June with any second brood appearing in early August.
The chart(s) above have been correlated with the phenology plot below, taken from the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme. The blue line gives average counts over the full data set from 1976 to date, and the red line gives the average for the last year.
This is a warmth-loving species and, as such, is often found in sheltered areas or on south-facing slopes. When courting, the males congregate at the base of a slope where they either perch, waiting for a virgin female to fly by, or patrol the area looking for a female perched on a grass stem awaiting a mate. Mating takes place after a short flight low to the ground. When egg-laying, the female will make meandering flight close to the ground, searching out suitable foodplants on which to lay.
Like its close relative, the Common Blue, this species will roost communally on grass stems at night. In fact, the two species are sometimes found roosting together.
Adults feed primarily on Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Thyme (Thymus polytrichus) and White Clover (Trifolium repens).
Eggs are laid singly, typically on the underside of a leaf of the foodplant, close to the midrib. Eggs hatch after about a week.
The newly-emerged larva eats the underside of the leaf, but without breaking through the upper surface. The resulting patches are visible from above which can give away the presence of a larva underneath the leaf. More mature larvae feed more openly and are often given away by the presence of the ants that are in attendance. In the last instar, the larva develops Newcomer's glands that exude a secretion that is highly attractive to ants. The association with ants affords the larva some protection against parasites and predators. Larvae of the generation that overwinters generally do so while in their 3rd instar. The larva moults 4 times in total.
The primary larval foodplant is Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium). Common Stork's-bill (Erodium cicutarium) and Dove's-foot Crane's-bill (Geranium molle) are also used.

Of the two sexes, it is the female Common Blue that causes most confusion with the Brown Argus. The blue present in a female Common Blue is highly variable, with individuals ranging from almost completely blue through to completely brown. It is this latter colouring that causes the most confusion. Even so, the Brown Argus has no blue scales, but may give off a blue sheen from the wings and the hairs found on the thorax and abdomen. Another diagnostic is that the Brown Argus normally has a prominent dark spot in the centre of the forewings.
Differentiating Brown Argus and Common Blue from their undersides is even more problematic, and we need to resort to the pattern of spots. Here we have two distinguishing features. The first is that the Common Blue has a spot on the underside of the forewing that is absent in the Brown Argus. The second is that two of the spots on the leading edge of the hindwing are relatively-close in the Brown Argus, almost forming a "figure of eight", but are more spaced apart in the Common Blue. This diagnostic is particularly useful if the underside of the forewing isn't visible.
Although very similar in appearance, the Brown Argus and Northern Brown Argus can be separated by location in the British Isles. However, this situation may change with global warming as the Brown Argus moves further north.

Target: The Nature Conservancy
Goal: Thank the Nature Conservancy for their successful protection of key scrub habitat in Florida that will sustain rapidly dwindling populations of the Florida scrub jay
If habitat destruction is a primary threat to rare species, the Florida scrub jay is an extreme case. Their numbers have dropped dramatically due to human movement onto the already rare scrub lands of Florida, the only habitat in which the scrub jay can exist. With less than 10,000 of these birds left in the world – and all of them in Florida – these birds are federally listed as a threatened species. Known to mate for life and possess a friendly demeanor, the scrub jay is the only bird species unique to Florida.
Thankfully, the Nature Conservancy, which raises money to buy key habitat in order to protect at risk species, has purchased 100 acres of scrub habitat in Lake County, Florida, a site ranked third on the Critical Natural Lands Priority List. Purchasing the land using funds from a "memorandum of understanding" with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Nature Conservancy's actions come just in time to prevent plans to subdivide and develop the tract, which would have destroyed the habitat and impeded the fire management necessary to sustain a multitude of species in the area, scrub jays included.
According to the Nature Conservancy, permanent preservation of this land also protects other documented local species like the Florida black bear, the gopher tortoise, the gopher frog, and the wild coco, a native orchid.
Connecting with a Seminole State Forest parcel, the Lake County tract both unites local scrub jay populations with scrub jay families to the north and actually opens up 300 acres of contiguous scrub jay habitat. In the words of Nature Conservancy Director of Conservation Doria Gordon, protecting this land "means life to multiple generations of birds."
Dear Nature Conservancy,
I would like to offer sincere thanks for your successful purchase of 100 acres of scrub land in Lake County, Florida, protecting vital habitat for the threatened, endemic Florida scrub jay and countless other local species. Your actions have prevented the subdivision and development of the already rare scrub land. I applaud your integrity in following through on this initiative in a timely manner.
Your dedication to conservation and your commitment to founding your efforts on ecological principles represent both admirable leadership and hope for all who cherish natural wildlife and environments and stand for their defense. I take comfort in seeing more of our world's natural bounty protected, and I wish you luck in your current and future efforts.

During the 1950s and early '60s, before anyone had even heard of Honda, Nissan, Toyota or Hyundai, the best-selling import brand in Canada was Austin.
Models like the Devon, Somerset, Cambridge, Westminster and, eventually, Mini, dominated the small car market.
Like a lot of other Canadian families, we usually had an Austin of one type or another in the driveway when I was growing up. After emigrating to Canada from England after the war, my mother insisted on it, much to the chagrin and frustration of my Pontiac-driving father, who seemed to spend every spare minute fixing the little British saloons.
Austins were surprisingly comfortable and comparatively easy on gas, but hell on wheels when it came to maintenance. Fried head gaskets, out-of-tune carburetors and mysterious electrical glitches were routine nightmares.
Nor did they adapt well to Canadian driving conditions. For example, our family summer holiday sometimes involved driving through the Rockies to visit relatives in Alberta, which meant traversing the pre-TransCanada, Cascades Highway. Then, this was two-lane all the way, and sometimes too narrow to accommodate trucks and cars at the same time. If you came across a logging truck or transport coming the other way up in the mountains, you might have to squeeze over to the edge of the road and hope and pray he'd manage to get by. If that didn't work, you backed your car up until you found a widening in the road.
So it was in the summer of 1959, when my father decided we'd take the family 1953 Austin Somerset to Alberta. With a mighty 42 horsepower on tap, a four-speed on the column gearshift, three kids in the back seat and a trunk full of luggage and camping gear, it'd overheat at the first sign of a hill.
We carried one of those South African canvas water bags to refill the radiator, which would be spouting steam like Old Faithful as soon as the elevation changed and we'd pull over to let it cool down. I can still see my mother, clicking her fingernails and sulking in the front seat, while the old man fussed with the car, and us kids went exploring.
At the end of it all, back home, he'd swear that that was it: no more Austins! But it wasn't until the 1970s that he finally got the monkey off his back.
You'd think he'd have learned his lesson. But no. In 1986, one of his neighbours happened to be cleaning out his greenhouse, and there – resting under a canvas tarp – was a 1953 A40 Countryman purchased at an auction, years before. Although it hadn't run in more than 20 years and was full of mice and wasp's nests, it was all there and complete. He couldn't help himself, and fell for it like a blind roofer.
According to the neighbour, the B.C. Forest Service had bought a fleet of these things for its timber cruisers and government inspectors. Although they started life as garden-variety A40 sedans, Austin apparently shipped them to an aftermarket coach builder, who fitted the back "estate" section of the vehicle.
With wood and leather interior trim, folding back seats, and a special low-ratio differential, they were almost luxurious inside, and did duty in the forests and back roads of B.C, despite lacking any kind of 4WD system. Designed for work, not play, they weren't built in large numbers. There might be a dozen of them left, worldwide, mostly in Canada.
Anyway, after a one-year restoration, the ex-Forestry Service Countryman was roadworthy and ready to make the rounds at the show and shines.
My father, who taught automotive shop in high school for 25 years, hoisted the body off the frame, and everything was re-done; new engine, new running gear, new brakes, new tires, new wiring, new paint. Miraculously, the interior was almost perfect and only required a little TLC. Even the semaphore style flip-out signal indicators worked.
Initially, because of the low-ratio rear differential, the car wouldn't do more than 70 km/h without revving itself to death, but once that was changed, it could manage 100 km/h with a bit left over.
At the first show and shine he attended, the Countryman took home first place in its class and, over the years, has gone on to win a wall-full of trophies and plaques. Although it's often surrounded by much more expensive and prestigious automobiles, the little olive-drab Austin is a crowd favourite.
I sometimes attend these events and it's a treat to sit there and watch the smiles that break out when people see it. Sometimes they're moved to tears, as was the case with one middle-aged Scotsman, who described how his father, a butcher, had one for years back in the U.K.
The Countryman is still going strong, even after throwing a connecting rod a couple of years ago. This happened en route to a major British field meet, and I was leading the way in my own car at the time. As I looked in the rearview mirror to see how things were going, I heard a muffled thud accompanied by debris and oil spewing out of the bottom of the Austin. Popping the bonnet revealed a fist-sized hole through the side of the engine block and bits and pieces of shredded steel all over the ground.
Fortunately, the old man had a spare motor and, back home, he took out the blown engine and installed the new unit (at age 82, mind you). I drive it occasionally myself these days and the little green Countryman continues to steal people's hearts wherever it's parked.
Some people just never learn.

How the Stars Celebrated Easter: A Complete Look!
Joining the many around the world in celebrating the Easter holiday, the stars of Hollywood spent Sunday (April 8) doing everything from attending morning church services to enjoying a little family fun in the sun.
Among those grabbing seats in the pews to listen to Easter sermons were everyone from a baby bump sporting Reese Witherspoon and family and the Kardashian/Jenner clan (which included Kim, Kourtney, Kris, Kylie, Kendall and Bruce) to Chad Michael Murray and Matthew McConaughey, who was joined by his lovely fiance Camila Alves and their two adorable children, Levi and Vida.
Another popular Easter activity of the rich and famous was spending the day at the beach, as Mark Wahlberg hit the Atlantic Ocean waters with wife Rhea Durham and the kiddies while Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber checked into the Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados before cooling off and sharing a few loving smooches in the Caribbean Sea.
Opting for a more low-key weekend were family-focused stars, with Jessica Alba, Gwen Stefani and Ellen Pompeo all attending Easter gatherings with family and friends during the course of the afternoon.
Rounding out this year's Easter sightings were Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, who were seen cruising around the streets of Malibu in a black Mercedes Benz; Leona Lewis, who joined alongside the Easter Bunny at the Hopefield Animal Sanctuary Easter Fair; and Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal at a New York City family function alongside Peter Sarsgaard.
Enjoy the pictures of the stars celebrating Easter (April 8).
