Novak on the Plame leak: a pattern of contradictions
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
In the two years since CNN contributor and syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak exposed former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA operative, he has made several contradictory statements with respect to crucial issues in the case. In two instances, Novak's account of events appeared to change in fall 2003 after the Justice Department launched a formal investigation into the leak case. Novak's most recent contradiction, on the other hand, appeared in his August 1 column. In the piece, he broke his longstanding silence on the issue to respond to allegations by ex-CIA spokesman Bill Harlow in a recent Washington Post article and to defend his "integrity as a journalist."
In his original 2003 column, Novak wrote that Plame was a CIA "operative" and that she had "suggested" sending her husband on a 2002 CIA mission to investigate allegations that Iraq had tried to purchase uranium from Niger. Following the column's July 14 publication, Novak gave Newsday reporters Timothy M. Phelps and Knut Royce an account of how he learned Plame's identity from the "two senior administration officials" he had cited in the column:
Novak, in an interview, said his sources had come to him with the information. "I didn't dig it out, it was given to me," he said. "They thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it."
On September 28, 2003, the Justice Department launched an official investigation into the leak case. Noting that the story had "reached the front pages of major newspapers," Novak wrote an October 1, 2003, column in which his depiction of the leak conflicted with the account he had provided to Phelps and Royce months earlier. He stressed that the administration official who disclosed Plame's identity had not come to him with the information but, rather, had in an "offhand" way mentioned her role at the CIA in response to questions regarding Wilson's selection for the mission:
During a long conversation with a senior administration official, I asked why Wilson was assigned the mission to Niger. He said Wilson had been sent by the CIA's counterproliferation section at the suggestion of one of its employees, his wife. It was an offhand revelation from this official, who is no partisan gunslinger.
In an October 5, 2003, interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Novak further emphasized that the official had mentioned Plame's role at the CIA "offhandedly":
NOVAK: So in interviewing a senior administration official on a number of other subjects, I asked him if he could explain why [Wilson was chosen for the mission], and he said, "Well, his wife works in the counterproliferation section at the CIA" and that she suggested his mission. And it was given to me as an offhand manner and by a person who is, as I wrote in the column, not a partisan gunslinger by any means.
I know when somebody's trying to plant a story. This thing -- this came up almost offhandedly in the course of a very long conversation with a senior official about many things, many things, including ambassador Wilson's report.
Whereas Novak's initial description of the leak depicted the administration sources as offering the information independent of his questioning ("I didn't dig it out, it was given to me. ... They thought it was significant"), his later account suggested that the officials had not planned to bring up Plame's CIA employment and would not have mentioned her occupation if not for his questions. Meet the Press host Tim Russert asked Novak to "explain" the discrepancy between the two quotes. But Novak simply said his earlier statement was not "very artfully put" and insisted that there existed "no inconsistency between those two."
Wilson's qualifications for the CIA mission
In the July 2003 column, Novak clearly laid out Wilson's qualifications for the trip to Niger before disclosing that Plame worked at the CIA and had "suggested" Wilson for the mission:
That's where Joe Wilson came in. His first public notice had come in 1991 after 15 years as a Foreign Service officer when, as U.S. charge in Baghdad, he risked his life to shelter in the embassy some 800 Americans from Saddam Hussein's wrath. My partner Rowland Evans reported from the Iraqi capital in our column that Wilson showed "the stuff of heroism." President George H.W. Bush the next year named him ambassador to Gabon, and President Bill Clinton put him in charge of African affairs at the National Security Council until his retirement in 1998.
Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report.
But three months after the publication of the column, Novak repeatedly recounted how, after reading Wilson's July 6, 2003, New York Times op-ed -- in which Wilson stated that President Bush's claims about Iraqi attempts to buy uranium from Niger were "not borne out by the facts as I understood them" -- Novak had grown "curious" about why Wilson had been chosen to investigate the Niger allegations.
From Novak's October 1, 2003, column:
I was curious why a high-ranking official in President Bill Clinton's National Security Council (NSC) was given this assignment. Wilson had become a vocal opponent of President Bush's policies in Iraq after contributing to Al Gore in the last election cycle and John Kerry in this one.
From the October 2, 2003, edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports:
NOVAK: On Monday, I began to report on something that I thought was very curious. Why was it that ambassador Wilson, who had no particular experience in weapons of mass destruction, and was a sharp critic of the Iraqi policy of President Bush and, also, had been a high-ranking official in the Clinton White House, who had contributed politically to Democrats -- some Republicans, but mostly Democrats -- why was he being selected?
I asked this question to a senior Bush administration official, and he said that he believed that the assignment was suggested by an employee at the CIA in the counterproliferation office who happened to be ambassador Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame.
From the October 5, 2003, edition of NBC's Meet the Press:
NOVAK: I thought it was very strange that the missions in Niger should be done by a diplomat with no experience in counterproliferation, who was regarded as a critic of the war and, really, had no experience at the agency. So in interviewing a senior administration official on a number of other subjects, I asked him if he could explain why.
According to Novak, his curiosity about Wilson's purported lack of experience is what eventually led his administration source to "offhandedly" identify Plame and state that she suggested him for the trip. But Novak's July 2003 column betrayed no doubt or skepticism about Wilson's qualifications. In fact, rather than questioning Wilson's résumé in the piece, he had highlighted it.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's conclusions
In a July 15, 2004 column, Novak accurately stated that in its 2004 report on prewar intelligence on Iraq, the Senate Intelligence Committee had not reached an official conclusion that Plame had suggested Wilson for the fact-finding mission to Niger:
Like Sherlock Holmes's dog that did not bark, the most remarkable aspect of last week's Senate Intelligence Committee report is what its Democratic members did not say. They did not dissent from the committee's findings that Iraq apparently asked about buying yellowcake uranium from Niger. They neither agreed to a conclusion that former diplomat Joseph Wilson was suggested for a mission to Niger by his CIA employee wife nor defended his statements to the contrary.
Indeed, the committee chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), stated in an addendum to the report that committee Democrats had specifically opposed inclusion of an official finding on the subject. Moreover, several newspapers provided further evidence that appeared to support the Senate Democrats' reservations about the validity of the claim.
But in his August 2005 column, Novak contradicted his earlier reporting. He falsely stated that the committee's unanimous report refuted Wilson's denial, concluding that Wilson's wife had "suggested his name for the trip":
I was told she "suggested" the mission, and that is what I asked Harlow. His denial was contradicted in July 2004 by a unanimous Senate Intelligence Committee report. The report said Wilson's wife "suggested his name for the trip." It cited an internal CIA memo from her saying "my husband has good relations" with officials in Niger and "lots of French contacts," adding they "could possibly shed light on this sort of activity." A State Department analyst told the committee that Mrs. Wilson "had the idea" of sending Wilson to Africa.

WASHINGTON: The US House Speaker, John Boehner, has unveiled his ''Plan B'' as Republicans wrangle with the President, Barack Obama, over how to steer the economy past the so-called fiscal cliff.
Mr Boehner, whose party holds a majority in the lower house, said on Tuesday he was now prepared to countenance a tax rise for Americans earning more than $US1 million ($952,000) a year, a concession but one that falls short of Mr Obama's demands.
The President wants to raise taxes on those earning more than $US400,000, and Mr Boehner's much-heralded offer was dismissed by Democrats as a political ploy.
If the two camps cannot agree on how to balance spending and tax policy before the end of the year, the US economy will plunge over the cliff, with a deadly package of deep cuts and sharp tax increases taking effect.
Mr Boehner told reporters he would bring a bill to the floor of the House to extend tax cuts passed under the former president George Bush jnr for all Americans earning less than $US1 million, saying it was a reasonable move.
''I believe it's important that we protect as many American taxpayers as we can, and our 'Plan B' is to protect the American taxpayers who make $US1 million or less, and have all of their current rates extended,'' he said.
He described Plan B as a back-up strategy in case he and Mr Obama are unable to meet the year-end deadline - in which case the Bush cuts expire and taxes will rise across the board, taking in $US500 billion in new revenue.
Economists have warned that this, combined with massive cuts in government spending, could plunge the US - and perhaps many other countries - back into recession.
''We have to stop whatever tax rate increases we can,'' Mr Boehner told fellow Republicans.
His strategy, which does not address federal spending cuts that would be crucial to any fiscal cliff equation, was quickly rejected by the White House and other Democrats.
''The parameters of a deal are clear, and the President is willing to continue to work with Republicans to reach a bipartisan solution that averts the fiscal cliff,'' the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said in a statement.
''The speaker's 'Plan B' approach doesn't meet this test because it can't pass the Senate and therefore will not protect middle-class families, and does little to address our fiscal challenges with zero spending cuts.''

The Struggle Against 'the Religion of Irreligion'
Methods of Fighting Against The Religion of Irreligion
The total eradication of disbelief from the face of the earth is essential for the salvation of all people, both in this world and the Hereafter. As stressed throughout this book, it is the responsibility of all believers to eliminate disbelief by communicating the message of the Qur'an. To say, "I have faith but others have to take care of themselves" is not the conscientious attitude of a true believer. The following verse lays responsibility directly upon all believers as a divinely ordered duty, and Allah holds every believer responsible for safeguarding himself, his close relatives, and humanity in general from the torment of Hell:
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what he commands them but do what they are commanded. 65
Some people belittle themselves by thinking, "Am I strong enough to oppose disbelief?" This is but a negative suggestion from Satan to make people lose time and hinder the spread of the Qur'an's message. As already explained, fighting irreligion requires exposing the invalidity of irreligious philosophies and ideologies by providing actual scientific evidence to the contrary. In such an important endeavor some service may be rendered by every person. Those unable to participate actively must at least support and aid people who have committed themselves to this kind of work. For example, finding ways to distribute books or articles about the struggle against irreligion, explaining the ideas expressed in these books, and spreading the facts that will demolish disbelief worldwide are in themselves ways to oppose disbelief.
It should be remembered that, as stated by Bediüzzaman, "the consent given to ignorance is no different than ignorance; the consent given to error, ignorance and cruelty is erroneous, ignorant and cruel."66Hence, those who remain silent, those who do not strive against disbelief although they have the means, and those who obstruct the efforts of others who fight disbelief instead of providing support to them are either knowingly or unknowingly supporting disbelief themselves and facilitating the accomplishment of evil goals.67 No person of sound conscience can ignore the dismal facts, and all Muslims must work together to remove the tyranny of disbelief over mankind as Prophet Muhammad (saas) stated:
The following subjects pertain to this important duty and the method to be followed in the light of Qur'anic verses.
Breaking the Idols of Irreligion
The most effective method in fighting disbelief is, without doubt, that employed by Prophet Abraham. People at the time of Abraham worshipped idols they made with their own hands and then expected help from these so-called deities. (The same has been practiced by various communities throughout history.) Prophet Abraham reminded the people that these "deities" before which they prostrated were inanimate beings lacking ability to do a single thing. Just like those who idolized lifeless statues at that time, the disbelievers of our day take lifeless atoms, unconscious nature, and coincidence as deities. They believe that unconscious atoms came together by themselves and organized themselves into a flawless and perfect system.
The method used by Abraham to save his tribe from their erroneous beliefs and to awaken them is related in the Qur'an as follows:
When he said to his father and his people, 'What are these statues to which you are devoted?' they said, 'We found our fathers worshipping them.' He said, 'You were certainly, you and your fathers, in manifest error.'69
"…'And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against idols after you have turned and gone away.' So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question]." 70
When Abraham saw that his father and tribe were completely blinded to reality, he plotted a scheme for their idols as indicated in the verse above. When his people were away, he broke the idols they worshipped and showed them the obvious fact that these lifeless statues were incapable of doing anything at all, much less creating something.
Upon the people's return they questioned Prophet Abraham. His response is quite significant because it demonstrates their inconsistent attitude:
"They said, 'Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?' He said, 'Rather, this- the largest of them- did it, so ask them, if they should be able to speak' So they returned [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], 'Indeed, you are the wrongdoers.' Then they reversed themselves, [saying], 'You have already known that these do not speak.'" 71
Abraham's people admitted awareness of the reality: "You have already known that these do not speak." They well knew that the idols were incapable of any act or giving life to an inanimate being and that they could not have created the flawless order sustaining the whole universe. But they continued to accept those lifeless beings as deities solely because of their commitment to the beliefs of their ancestors and rejection of Allah.
The materialists and evolutionists of our day possess a very similar mentality. When considered with an open mind, any evolutionist would have to agree that life is much too complex and perfect to have been formed by mere coincidence. These scientists would also agree to the fact that life must have had a beginning, that is, it was not eternally existent. But despite these realizations they keep their bigoted attitude, like the idolaters at the time of Prophet Abraham, and deem it impossible to abandon their false deities and place faith in Allah. To understand this point it is sufficient to consider a few of the evolutionists' confessions:
Richard Lewontin, an evolutionist and materialist geneticist from Harvard University, explains his own and other materialists' prejudiced attitudes as follows:
D.M.S. Watson, the famous British zoologist and evolutionist, also explains why evolutionists still defend this theory despite the lack of any scientific evidence in support of it:
Chandra Wickramasinghe, a famous British scientist, explains how people are conditioned to denial of Allah:
The examples above clearly illustrate that evolutionist scientists must believe in the theory of evolution based on materialism in order to be able to reject Allah, although they know the theory is false. And these individuals are but a few of the leading materialist evolutionists of our day.
The answer to these people is the same as that given by Abraham to his tribe, described in the Qur'an. His response was intended to shock them and invite them to reason:
He said, 'Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you? "Woe" to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?'75
Just as Prophet Abraham broke the idols of the idolaters and removed the basis of disbelief by exposing their foolishness, believers of today must break the idol of today and render disbelief ineffective. The methods can be listed as follows:
1. Being knowledgeable about the ideas and ideologies advocated by irreligious movements
It is very important for everyone to know about irreligious movements that destroy moral values, about the ideologies of those movements, and the concepts they advocate. That enables one to expose the flawed logic and perverted rationale contrary to both science and reason which are damaging to countries and nations. The feeble grounds upon which these ideologies are based along with their inconsistencies can easily be displayed, and people of conscience who acquire profound knowledge about irreligious ideologies can predict the possible harms they will bring to nations and take the preventative measures which are of support and help to the nation.
2. Proving the invalidity of materialism and evolution with scientific evidences
Earlier in this book materialism was cited as the most dangerous religion of irreligion. What makes it distinctive and more effective than other false ideologies is its presentation under a "veil of science." While idolatry has been labeled as primitive, materialism and the evolution theory (although basically no different) have acquired a fake "scientific" aura. Accordingly, it is imperative to disclose that materialism and the theory of evolution actually contradict science and logic.
It is essential to examine each of the assertions stemming from the theory of evolution and to show that the arguments put forth are actually designed to manipulate public opinion. To accomplish this one must follow closely the findings of recent scientific research and to refute scientifically the assertions based on the theory of evolution in every corner of the world, providing ample evidence. The final sections of this book present examples of such evidence.
In reality there are a limited number of arguments that evolutionists claim as their "evidence," and these are refutable from the very outset. Because they are often elaborated with scientific terminology by authors or speakers and presented to the public under the guise of "science," they might seem to be new evidences. But all these papers, filled with incomprehensible expressions and Latin terms, basically provide not a single scientific proof. Since a majority in the world today cannot see the irrationality of Darwinism and assume it to be scientific fact, it is an important service to inform, educate and warn people against this threat. Obviously, this task demands serious effort; one should strive to shoulder his share of this historic responsibility.
3. Communicating the true religion related in the Qur'an
While materialist circles impose their ideologies upon society, they assume an aggressive attitude towards religion. In order to discredit it, they make use of distorted and deviant understandings, which they pass off as Islam. These are far removed from the original teachings, bigotry and superstition having been incorporated into them.
The Qur'an is a revealed scripture containing no contradictions whatsoever, a fact that must be conveyed to people explicitly and with evidence. It is also essential that people acquire knowledge about the events connected with revelations of the Qur'an. Said Nursi emphasized on numerous occasions that the most effective way of refuting the philosophies of materialism and naturalism is to explain the realities of the Qur'an:
4. Explaining evidences pointing to the existence of Allah
The existence of Allah is obvious to anyone who employs his intellect. In every created being Allah displays signs of His infinite wisdom and power. However, for many years most people have been indoctrinated toward the denial of Allah, and many harbor doubts. Hence, it is vitally important to point out the signs of Allah's existence to people in order to remove ingrained prejudices. When each living being is individually examined down to its tiniest components, people can witness therein the glorious creation of Allah. Every effort should be made to show that such precisely calculated designs in living beings could not have come into existence by chance. This can be done through publications and visual means.
Many individuals have become so spiritually weak that they fail to see even the most obvious facts. But they can be awakened from their unawareness through serious efforts. A person who is made to realize that the flawless beings surrounding him could not have evolved by chance is no longer in danger of disbelief; and once he believes in Allah, he comprehends that he is responsible to Him and that he should live his life in such a way as to earn His acceptance and approval.
In many verses throughout the Qur'an, Allah summons man to contemplate created beings and derive lessons from them:
Have they not looked at the heaven above them- how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts? And the earth- We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah]. And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest and lofty palms trees having fruit arranged in layers- as provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].80
A most effective method of fighting the religion of irreligion is to enable people to see the innumerable signs of Allah's glory and might around them. In the Qur'an, Allah commands:
But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it]. 81
In compliance with this verse believers should continuously explain the favors granted by Allah to humankind through the most effective methods of communication. Prophet Muhammad (saas) encouraged Muslims to carry out this important duty by saying, "Allah and the angels invoke blessings on those who instruct people in beneficial knowledge."82
5. Explaining the kind of life and morality taught in the Qur'an
Throughout the Qur'an man is urged to have values: to be just, to have kindness, affection and mercy for others, to consider the needs of others rather than his own wishes, to respect, love and hold allegiance to his country, to maintain peace and security, to settle conflicts among people, to protect the poor and disadvantaged, to be hardworking, and to serve in order to earn the pleasure of Allah. The superior welfare and security apparent in any society guided by these virtues is obvious.
Because the majority are unaware of the true religion taught in the Qur'an, they need to be shown the adornment it gives to life. Believers must inform people that living by the true religion is the easiest way and that it is the lifestyle most suitable to man's natural tendencies. Subsequently, they will see that the Qur'an presents solutions to all the problems of the world. Allah has stated why the Qur'an was revealed:
And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims."83
6. Uniting men of conscience
Believers must not only devote effort to the struggle against disbelief but unite to protect their countries and peoples from its danger. The more of them committed to serve this cause, the faster disbelief will be eradicated, as well as discord and dissension on earth.
Unity brings both material and spiritual benefits to people of faith. In numerous verses Allah commands believers to unite and not dispute:
And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.84
In another verse Allah warns believers that the world will be corrupted when there is discord among them:
And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so [i.e., ally yourselves with other believers], there will be be fitnah [i.e., disbelief and oppression] on earth and great corruption.85
As noted in this verse, Muslims can be held accountable for engaging in conflicts among themselves and thereby hindering others from good deeds instead of struggling against the arrogant who deny Allah's religion and lead societies to destruction. Prophet Muhammad (saas) drew attention to the importance of unity in many hadiths such as the following:
When supporting one another, believers should motivate other believers to do good deeds and appreciate beneficial services rendered. Bediüzzaman pointed out that believers should encourage one another with feelings of brotherhood:
The Method Advised by Bediüzzaman for Opposing Disbelief
In many of his works Bediüzzaman Said Nursi informed believers about the methods that should be employed in their struggle with disbelief. In one he states:
Against the first enemy, ignorance, it is important to ensure that people become aware of the threats surrounding them. In an Islamic society the majority of people are religious, i.e., they believe in Allah and His religion. However, many Muslims are unaware of the threats posed against religion and spiritual values. For instance, some are so ignorant about the theory of evolution and its objectives that they do not hesitate to say, "I am religious and also believe in the theory of evolution." There are other people who believe that superstitious beliefs such as reincarnation can be reconciled with Islam. Such fallacies have to be eliminated and the lack of knowledge compensated in the shortest time possible.
The second enemy identified by Bediüzzaman, stipulation, is the imposition of some non-faith-related thoughts and lifestyles upon people as obligations. For example, the theory of evolution is imposed through television, textbooks and schools and is presented as a statement with no alternative. As Bediüzzaman shows, the theory of evolution has been adopted on the basis of a dangerous stipulation, justified by the misleading phrase, "Evolution is science." Indoctrination has worked so well that denial of evolution is perceived as the denial of science. In the face of this assertion by evolutionist and materialist circles, it is essential that people be informed of the invalidity of this dangerous ideology. This can be realized through the publication of books and various communication and media tools presenting the harms of the theory of evolution and materialist philosophy.
The last enemy addressed by Said Nursi is disagreement, which is no less of a threat today when so many issues among people are in controversy. When people fail to reach a consensus, many issues lapse into disputes and conflicts. Against the dangers posed by chaos and conflict, the truth must be stated clearly in the light of scientific evidence. Regarding the origins of life, the facts have to be explained explicitly. This can lead many materialists and evolutionists to turn to their consciences and proceed towards the truth and the straight path.
While advocating measures against these threats, Bediüzzaman also stresses some factors contributing to success. The first of these is ingenuity, which plays an important role in the struggle with disbelief. In this context the word "ingenuity" has various connotations. Making known the precision in Allah's creation is among the most important issues, so explicitness and simplicity of style as well as the use of pictures in various publications are important and reveal the highly refined taste of believers. Wisdom in oral explanations is also a manifestation of artistry. Words, examples and effective usage of one's language are essential to influence people. Contrary to evolutionists, who employ highly complicated and ambiguous terminology in describing the so-called "scientific" theory of evolution, simplicity in language renders it possible for people to easily understand faith related issues. The skillful conveyance mentioned by Bediüzzaman is an attribute Allah grants to His sincere servants, and their sincerity and honesty is manifested in the way they speak. Identifying subjects that should be explained to people according to their needs and the methods to inform them are all noble concerns peculiar to people of conscience.
The last measure advocated by Bediüzzaman is unification, necessary to secure welfare and security in one's homeland. It is vitally important that believers unite against those who deny the existence of Allah and strive to demolish spiritual values. Various attempts made to destroy this unity will reduce its effect. Negative excuses such as "Darwinism has already become ineffective" or "Is there still a need to refute Darwinism?" actually harm the ideological struggle against it, unwittingly creating disputes.
Sincere people who consider the good of their country and its citizens must continue their struggle until Darwinism is completely eradicated because it has not yet been entirely defeated. Even though the evolutionists are putting forth their last arguments in a state of great anxiety, there is still much to be done. When terror, anarchy and enmity against religion no longer exist, one can then conclude that those erroneous beliefs have been completely eliminated. In the Qur'an, Allah commands believers to fight disbelief "until there is no more dissension and the religion, all of for Allah"89

KCWC day 3 - scraps
Another quickie - a wee skirt made out of strips of fabric scraps. Then I ended up adding details like topstitching on each side of the joins and lining it. So, it wasn't quite as quick as I had first imagined it, but still, a quick project nonetheless...and it is, um, bright enough to suit a six year old's taste...Hmm, what to do next? I fear that babysitting my brother-in-law's kids is going to be robbing me of valuable sewing time...

Pork producers' desire for continuous improvement in production practices and exceeding customers' demands for quality assurance measures spurred changes to the voluntary Pork Quality Assurance® Plus (PQA Plus®) program. Revisions to PQA Plus were announced during World Pork Expo 2013. A part of the pork industry's We CareSM initiative, PQA Plus provides a framework for significant, relevant food safety standards and improved animal well-being.
PQA Plus has evolved since its introduction in 1989 with regular revisions and updates to increase its effectiveness, incorporate new research information, and ensure the program's validity with customers. PQA Plus incorporates 10 Good Production Practices to align more closely with the We Care initiative principles. Revisions to PQA Plus were effective June 7, 2013.
Farmers and other industry experts who have seen the revised program embrace the changes. "There are so many outside influences affecting how we do business, I think for any industry to come together and realize there needs to be a training tool to say, 'These are our set industry practices and standards.' and self-regulate is very positive," remarked Emily Erickson, animal well-being and quality assurance manager at New Fashion Pork in Minnesota. "PQA Plus represents a group coming together and determining what's best for their industry. It's hard to go wrong when a set of individuals are proactive and forward thinking in this way."
Jan Archer, a farmer from North Carolina, sees additional benefits to PQA Plus as well. "All of our employees are on same page, use the same vocabulary, and understand our common issues," she explained. "It's a way for us to impress on our employees how important what they do every day is. We are all focused, pulling in the same direction. The end result is added credibility, according to Archer. "We are a contract farm. It's important our integrator knows how hard we're working," she said. "Participating in PQA Plus is demonstrating credibility."
The program also serves as a baseline for standard operating procedures in some instances. "We feel it's an important program to help us ensure we're doing the right thing and that we're meeting our quality standards," Mike Faga, director of animal well-being at Iowa Select Farms stated. "It's widely accepted by the packing community and the customers as well who buy our product."
In Brief: PQA Plus Enhancements
- Participants must pass a test on questions related to 10 Good Production Practices with a minimum score.
- Recertification will be available via an online process after initial certification.
- Participating farms must submit a corrective action plan for all non-compliant findings following site assessments.
- Trainers and Advisors for the program will receive more extensive instructions and information.
More information on the revised PQA Plus program is available at www.pork.org/certification.

As the fifth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers draws near and the debate about fiscal austerity continues to rage, it is time to take stock of the trajectory of debt levels in the key advanced and emerging market economies (AEs and EMs). The overall picture of government debt around the world is not a pretty one (interactive data here).
Data from the IMF's latest Fiscal Monitor show that the level of aggregate net government debt in the world is expected to rise from $26tn in 2008 to $42tn in 2013. The ratio of world net debt to world GDP, a more relevant indicator of sustainable debt levels, shows a corresponding increase from 46 per cent in 2008 to 61 per cent in 2013.

Blonde vs. Brunette: Celebs Who Made the Switch
One secret to getting luscious locks? Your diet, says nutritionist Dana James. Nibbling on nutrient-rich goodies stimulates the hair's proteins, nourishes and protects its fibers, and increases circulation to its follicles. Here are the best things you can eat for healthier, stronger, and shinier strands. Bonus: These foods help lashes and nails, too.
Brown rice is highly concentrated in biotin, a B vitamin that helps improve the elasticity of hair and reduces brittleness. Eating brown rice also nourishes the hair follicle and stimulates hair cell renewal, which leads to thicker strands.
Easy meal ideas: Add brown rice to wok-tossed vegetables, make chicken and vegetable soup with brown rice, or toss brown rice through a kale salad.

Atlantis 55 — By Alan Harper —
December 2004
The first all-new Atlantis is the product of an old yard and new thinking.
It's been two years since Paolo Vitelli, head of Azimut-Benetti, absorbed the family-run Gobbi into his empire. The yard was a successful producer of midpriced sports cruisers, known for its advanced production facilities, but not a force to be reckoned with outside Italy. Vitelli installed Carla Demaria, one of his most senior managers, at its head and gave her a mission to recreate, rebrand, and revitalize it. Any doubts about whether he picked the right person for the job were quickly dispelled when, within months, she unveiled the Atlantis brand, with a new 47 and a revamped 42, at 2002's winter shows.
It was an auspicious debut. Those boats clearly still were products of the Gobbi yard, but their interiors were up to date, and a huge amount of effort had gone into the detailing—the helm console of the 42 made it onto more than one magazine cover. The next boat out, which would be the first all-new project on Demaria's watch and so the first true Atlantis, became one of the most eagerly awaited boats of the decade. And here it is.
If you want to be noticed, this is one way to do it. The external styling alone, particularly that fighter-style glass canopy, would be enough to grab anyone's attention, but this boat is packed with a lot more innovations and ideas, inside and out. Some are real crowd pleasers. Cockpit tables are often in the way when you don't want them and inaccessibly stowed when you do. On the 55, the teak cockpit table lives in the floor: Lift a hinged access panel in the deck, press a button, and it rises on a telescopic, hydraulic pillar. Two small triangular sections can then be unfolded, like simple origami, to make one large triangle. The teak deck panel can be folded down again, leaving no sign that it is not a permanent fixture.
The designers have also had fun with the saloon tables below decks. They are sculptural artifacts of steel and glass that can be turned, raised, and lowered (but only with the aid of a key, so don't lose it), and when properly (and exactly) aligned, they can accommodate a rhomboid wooden infill section whose grooves slide neatly over the tables' inner edges to make one long table for four. There are catches to prevent this infill from sliding off, but it might take practice before you trust them.
In the more fundamental and important areas, the designers have shown a real understanding of life aboard. The main deck layout is an object lesson in how things should be done, with a long, curving sofa and table on the bridge deck opposite the helm, port and starboard seating down aft, and a sunpad over the tender garage. The result is plenty of comfortable space to sit, lounge, or lie down, and with glass all around and overhead, the views from the upper dinette are unsurpassed. It really feels like sitting outside—especially with the big roof panel slid back. The helmsman, unfortunately, doesn't share these views: The thick mullion that conceals the opening mechanism for the side window pretty much blocks his view to starboard.
Next page > Part 2: For all her style and panache, the Atlantis 55 is primarily as a family cruiser. > Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Ferrari S.p.A
Massimiliano Fuksas
Maranello, Italy
The design for the new Management Headquarters by Massimiliano Fuksas, for Ferrari S.p.A, was the winning project in an International Competition.
Construction of the new Ferrari Complex in Maranello, home town of the Ferrari factoria and the Scuderia Ferrari, started in 1997 with completion of the 150,000 square meter area planned for 2005. The general concept behind the project was to create an environment that would bring the employees closer to nature.
Water, bamboo, ecological materials and biotechnology were the main factors in Massimiliano Fuksas' design of new Management Headquarters.
The main image of the building will be the shallow pools of water, bordered by rows of slender bamboo, that separate the two main volumes. The pools will reflect the light from the floor above through asymmetrical glass boxes that contain the vertical circulation and, at the same time, provide the structural elements for the suspended upper level.
To further emphasize the idea of suspension the upper level is cantilevered 7 meters over the entrance and reception area.
The new Management Headquarters building will be situated by the future main entrance between the "Wind Tunnel" building, designed by Renzo Piano, and the "Meccanica Building", designed by Marco Visconti.
The first building at the new Ferrari Complex site was a "safe" low red brick building, placed next to the old vest entrance. In 1998 the first high-tech building "Wind Tunnel" by Renzo Piano was completed and in 2001 construction started on the "Nuova Officina Meccanica" designed by Marco Visconti. In July 2002 Ferrari moved to the new two-floor "GeS Nuova Logistica" building, next to the Fiorana Test area, designed by Luigi Sturchio.
The "Centro Sviluppo Prodotto" (product development building), "Nuova Verniciatura" (high-tech lacquer center) by Marco Visconti, a new restaurant and a new complex, "Gestione Sportiva", for the Formula 1 Team are also planned.

Still time to get in a training run...
The GITM is moot. I like that.

Thomas Jefferson volleyball feeling just ducky heading into playoffs
It's not hard to see what pushes the Thomas Jefferson girls' volleyball team this season.
A quick look at the results from the 2011 WPIAL Class AA playoff bracket and a glance at a 3-0 first-round loss to runner-up Freeport is enough.
"It's probably been one of the biggest motivation drivers of the season," said senior right-side hitter Jesse Hinkle, one of only two senior starters. "It was so difficult to do so well and fall short so early, so that is definitely a motivator for us."
Superstition also has made a push into the Thomas Jefferson locker room. Before each game, the players touch a little rubber duck for luck. They even have had shirts made to commemorate the ritual.
Whether the players truly believe in duck power, it seems to be working. Thomas Jefferson has vaulted to an 8-0 record and first place in Section 7-AA.
The Jaguars also have clinched a spot in the WPIAL playoffs and will have an opportunity to capture the outright section title Thursday when they play second-place Elizabeth Forward. But that doesn't mean the Jaguars are where they should be heading into the playoffs.
"Three weeks ago, I think we were playing better than we are right now, and I thought that we would be a step or two forward, but we've just kind of flattened out a little bit," Thomas Jefferson coach Ron Kelly said. "Early in the season, we were obviously playing well, and Thursday we have Elizabeth Forward, and that's the biggest game we have left, so we're focusing on that."
Although winning the outright section title is important, the players are focused on advancing further in the playoffs than a pigtail victory against Uniontown followed by a hasty first-round exit. None of them want to relive that feeling.
"What we're trying to do to correct that is just to focus on our dream … because even if we lose and we play our best, we won't be disappointed," starting senior defensive specialist Ashley Kohley said.
Perhaps the toughest thing for Thomas Jefferson as it attempts to win its first WPIAL title since 2001 is to prove it doesn't play in a weak section. In addition to the Jaguars' early exit last year, Elizabeth Forward was knocked out in the first round and Steel Valley was ousted in a pigtail match.
"We're still meshing together. They're still learning, but we've had a set lineup for about the last couple weeks," Kelly said. "It's just getting it all together."
