A dark cloud at the heart of the Eagle Nebula had gone unseen until the Herschel Space Observatory peered inside for a new look, released today.
The nebula is a star-forming region about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle. A light-year is the distance light will travel in a year, or about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion km).
Telescopes had not been able to penetrate the thick dark clouds at the very center of this stellar nursery. Herschel used its strong sensitivity at the longest wavelengths of infrared light to probe into this shrouded region.
The resulting photograph reveals roughly 700 newly-forming stars stretched along filaments of dust spanning the 65 light-year-wide image. The dust and gas in the filaments are at various stages of condensing to become stars someday. Once they become dense enough to ignite nuclear fusion in their cores, the objects are considered true stars.
The two areas glowing brightest in icy blue light are regions where large newborn stars are causing hydrogen gas to shine.
The European Space Agency (ESA)'s Herschel telescope was launched in May 2009 to study the universe in infrared light. The Eagle nebula image is the first release of ESA's Online Showcase of Herschel Images.

Grateloupia tenuis Wang et Luan sp. nov. is a new species described from Lingshui, Hainan Province, South China Sea. Based on the external form and internal structure, combined with rbcL gene sequence analysis, Grateloupia tenuis is distinct from other Grateloupia species as follows: (1) thalli is slippery and cartilaginous in texture; possess fewer branches, relatively slight main axes, and two or three dichotomous branches; (2) cortex is 5-6 layers; medulla is solid when young, but hollow in old branches; reproductive structures are dispersed in main axes of thalli and lower portions of branchlets; exhibits Grateloupia-type auxiliary cell ampullae; (3) the four studied G. tenuis sequences were positioned in a large Grateloupia clade of Halymeniaceae, which included sister group generitype G. filicina with 68 bp differences; G. tenuis was determined to be a sister taxon to the G. catenata, G. ramosissima, G. orientalis, and G. filiformis subclade. The pairwise distances between G. tenuis and these species were 39 to 50 bp. The sequences of G. tenuis differed by 81–108 bp from the sequences of other samples in Grateloupia; there are 114–133 bp changes between G. tenuis and other genera of Halymeniaceae. In final analysis, we considered Grateloupia tenuis Wang et Luan sp. nov. to be a new species of genus Grateloupia.
1. Introduction
Red algae Grateloupia C. Agardh is a species-rich genus in the family Halymeniaceae, which not only exhibits highly diverse external morphology, but also is one of the genera in which species discrimination is more difficult. This genus is widely distributed in tropical and temperate coastal areas and includes more than 80 species worldwide and a total of 35 species in China [1–12]. The genus Grateloupia was originally built on the foundation of three species, namely, G. ornata, G. hystrix, and G. filicina, with G. filicina identified as the genus generitype [13].
Species morphology is significantly varied in Grateloupia, determining difficulties in species identification and controversy in species classification between algae taxonomists. Yendo [14] described Grateloupia with lomentaceous features as "catenate" and proposed G. catenata as a new species; however, Howe [15] regarded Grateloupia with lomentaceous characteristics as G. filicina (Lamouroux) C. Agardh var. lomentaria Howe. Okamura [16] opined that G. filicina var. lomentaria was a mature stage of G. filicina var. porracea, and integrated them into G. filicina var. porracea f. lomentaria (Howe) Okamura, with G. catenata being a synonym. Wang et al. [1] inspected type material of G. catenata Yendo and proposed to reinstate the Yendo name. G. ramosissima Okamura was discovered by Lin et al. [9], and its morphology resembles the algae researched in the present study. G. orientalis was described based on studies of cystocarp development and rbcL gene sequence analysis [9]. Zhang et al. [12] confirmed a new record of G. orientalis in the Hainan province of China through morphological observations, development of reproductive structures and molecular phylogenetic studies.
In our current research, the above species (G. filicina, G. catenata, G. ramosissima and G. orientalis) showed close relationships with G. tenuis; however, due to the particularly large differences in external and internal morphologies between G. tenuis and other known algae, this species has not been mentioned in previous reports. Based on these differences and analysis of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) gene sequences, we recommend that this alga is a new species of Grateloupia and should be defined as Grateloupia tenuis Wang et Luan sp. nov.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Morphological Analysis
Specimens were collected from the coast of Lingshui, Hainan Province, South China Sea (5 February 2009, leg. R. X. Luan; LNU20092087, LNU20092088, LNU20092089, and LNU20092090). Voucher herbarium specimens are reserved in the Herbarium of the College of Life Sciences, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian, China (LNU). We took G. tenuis (LNU20092088) as the holotype.
Morphological observations were made on algal specimens preserved in 10% seawater or pressed on herbarium sheets, and molecular analysis was conducted on samples desiccated in silica gel. Photographs of the holotype specimen were taken with a Canon EOS 650D (Canon, Japan). Hand sections were made by cryostat microtome, stained with 0.5% (w/v) cotton blue and discolored with 45% acetic acid. Photomicrographs were taken on an Olympus BH2 digital camera (Olympus Beijing Co. Ltd., China) mounted on a Nikon microscope (Nikon Corporation, Japan).
2.2. DNA Extraction and Phylogenetic Tree Construction
DNA samples of LNU20092087, LNU20092088, LNU20092089, and LNU20092090 were extracted using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, Beijing). The procedures for PCR amplification and sequencing were executed as described previously [1]. The rbcL gene sequences of 32 extra relevant Halymeniaceae species and two additional related family (Gelidiaceae and Gracilariaceae) species were selected from GenBank for analysis and were involved in the alignment (Table 1). Gelidiella ligulata Dawson and Gracilaria tenuistipitata Chang et Xia were treated as outgroups.
The rbcL sequences were aligned and compiled with Clustal X version 1.83 [21] for phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic tree construction and nucleotide differences analyses were conducted using MEGA 5.0. Maximum parsimony (MP), neighbor joining (NJ), and maximum likelihood (ML) were adopted to construct the phylogenetic tree. The MP analysis used heuristic searches for evaluating tree likelihoods, which was carried out with 1000 replicates, employed random addition sequence of taxa and used tree-bisection-reconnection (TBR) branch swapping [22]. The NJ analysis used the ratio test for estimation to seek optimal settings and ensure data dependability and was performed with Modeltest version 3.06 [23]. For ML analysis, a variety of cumulatively complex models of molecular evolution were assessed, as summarized by Litaker et al. [24] and Moncalvo et al. [21]. Bootstrap support values were calculated using 1000 samplings of the dataset [25] to estimate statistical reliability for MP, NJ, and ML methods.
3. Results
3.1. Taxonomic Descriptions
Thallus simplex, linear, purplish red in color, cartilaginous and slippery in texture, 4–7 cm in height, main axes about 1 mm in width, branches about 0.2–0.6 mm in width, with fewer branches than other thalli (Figure 1). Main axes of thalli and branches relatively slight, erect axes cylindrical or subcylindrical and bearing alternation or second branches, twice or thrice dichotomously branched (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). Cortex 5-6 layers, cells elliptic or polygonal and arranged densely; medulla solid with relatively intensive filaments when young, but hollow in the center in old branches. Gametophytes dioecious with reproductive structures dispersed in main axes of thalli and lower portion of branches, and cystocarps of main axes significantly fewer than branches (Figures 2(a)–2(c)). Carposporangium developed from gonimoblasts cells, profoundly immersed inside medulla and revolved by branched ampullar filaments. Mature cystocarps 90–110 m in diameter. Spermatangium shaped from outermost cortex cells of male gametophytes. Mature tetrasporangium cruciately partitioned, 10–16 m long, 6–8 m in diameter, and inserted in outer cortical cells.
Consider the following. Etymology; "tenuis" refers to the morphology of the thallus. Holotype; appointed here is a female specimen (LNU20092088 Figure 1). Type locality; Lingshui, Hainan Province, China, 5 Feb. 2009, collected by R. X. Luan. Habitat and seasonality; plant collections were seasonal from January to March, and were attached on rocky reefs or stony marsh of coastal intertidal zone. Distribution; currently only known in Lingshui, Hainan Province, China (E109.9°, N18.4°).
3.2. Vegetative and Reproductive Structures
Cross-section of the thallus showed a densely arranged cortex and solid medulla with dense filaments when young, but hollow in the center in old branches (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)). The 5-6 layers of the cortex consisted of oval outer layers cells arranged in neat rows and three to four inner layers of elliptic or rounded cells; the medulla was composed of slender medullary filaments 11–17 m long and 1-2 m wide, which exhibited irregular distribution (Figure 3(c)). The thallus had Grateloupia-type auxiliary cell ampullae. Auxiliary cells (ac) and carpogonial branches were produced in independent ampulla initiated from inner cortical cells. Two-celled carpogonial branches existed in each carpogonial branch ampulla and contained a terminal carpogonium and hypogynous cell (Figure 3(d)). The auxiliary cell ampullae were narrowly bottle-shaped and comprised of two or three secondary filaments. The mature auxiliary cell (ac) was elliptical in shape and obviously larger than other ampullary cells, and was located at the basal part of the ampulla (Figure 3(e)). Successive stages of the cystocarp development are displayed in Figures 3(f)–3(i). Terminal cells of the gonimoblast filaments gradually matured (Figure 3(f)). Maturing carposporangia developed from gonimoblasts cells, and were surrounded by branched ampullar filaments (Figure 3(g)). As cystocarps proceeded with development, they became increasingly larger and more deeply embedded in the medulla (Figure 3(h)). Mature cystocarps were spherical or ellipsoidal and 90–110 m in diameter (Figure 3(i)). The mature cystocarp released carpospores (Figure 3(j)). Spermatangia of the male gametophytes were shaped from the outermost cortex cells (Figure 3(k)). Mature tetrasporangia formed from the sporophyte cortical cells were cruciately partitioned, 10–16 m long, and 6–8 m in diameter (Figure 3(l)).
3.3. Molecular Analysis
In the phylogenetic tree, we compared four G. tenuis rbcL gene sequences with a total of 34 extra rbcL sequences from taxa comprising 28 species of Grateloupia, with four species from other genera (Halymenia C. Agardh and Polyopes J. Agardh) in Halymeniaceae and two species from Gelidiaceae and Gracilariaceae treated as outgroups, which were selected from GenBank for analyses (Table 1). The rbcL sequences of the four Lingshui samples were uniform. The rbcL sequence alignment consisted of 1322 base pairs (bp), but since many rbcL sequences were incomplete at the 5′ and 3′ ends, the first 67 bp and last 15 bp were excluded from analyses.
The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree (Figure 4) was obtained through the NJ, MP, and ML analysis. The species aggregate of the ML phylogenetic tree was divided into three main clades with high bootstrap support values and included a large Grateloupia clade; a Halymenia/Polyopes clade, which were all within Halymeniaceae; and a Gelidiella/Gracilaria clade, which were in Gelidiaceae and Gracilariaceae, respectively. The four G. tenuis samples and the 28 kinds of Grateloupia genera formed together into one large clade. The Grateloupia clade was divided into a small and large clade, and G. tenuis formed a monophyletic group within the small clade.
The rbcL analyses of pairwise base differences between G. tenuis and generitype G. filicina were 68 bp changes (5.72%). Sequences among G. tenuis and G. catenata and G. ramosissima differed by 39 bp (3.22%) and 48 bp (3.98%). There were 45 bp (3.73%) and 50 bp (4.17%) differences between G. tenuis and G. orientalis and G. filiformis, respectively. Sequences between G. tenuis and other samples in Grateloupia ranged from 81–108 bp changes (6.88%–9.34%). Divergence between G. tenuis specimens and other genera of Halymeniaceae ranged from 114–133 bp differences (9.86%–11.66%). When compared to outgroups, the G. tenuis specimens exhibited 190 bp (17.17%) and 196 bp (17.75%) differences from Gracilaria tenuistipitata (Gracilariaceae) and Gelidiella ligulata (Gelidiaceae), respectively.
4. Discussion
The family Halymeniaceae exhibits high species richness, especially within Grateloupia, which makes taxonomic species identification difficult. Nevertheless, the formation of auxiliary cell ampullae is a remarkable characteristic for distinguishing genera within Halymeniaceae [2, 3, 6, 26].
The newly described G. tenuis species is morphologically similar to some species, especially G. catenata. Table 2 shows a comparison in morphological features among G. tenuis and the closely related species G. catenata, G. ramosissima, G. orientalis, G. filicina. It was easy to differentiate G. tenuis from G. catenata by its significantly smaller size (4–7 cm high compared to 35 cm high, resp.) and by its dispersed reproductive structures in the main axes of thalli and lower portions of branchlets compared to the scattered reproductive structures over the whole thallus in G. catenata. It was possible to separate G. tenuis from generitype G. filicina by its slippery and cartilaginous texture compared with the mucilaginous and hard texture of G. filicina, and by its dichotomous branches compared with pinnate branchlets. Distinction with G. ramosissima and G. orientalis showed that they had abundant branches. G. tenuis also had representative Grateloupia-type auxiliary cell ampullae, which demonstrated that it was a new species of the family Halymeniaceae and pertained to the genus Grateloupia.
The rbcL sequence data also strongly supported G. tenuis as a new species. In the ML phylogenetic tree (Figure 4), G. tenuis specimens were embedded in the large clade of Grateloupia and clustered into a single monophyletic group. The small clade of Grateloupia included G. catenata, G. ramosissima, G. filiformis, and G. orientalis from China, and generitype G. filicina from Italy. The G. catenata/G. ramosissima subclade was the most closely related sister taxon to G. tenuis and the most similar in appearance. In addition, G. tenuis produced a high bootstrap support value with the G. catenata/G. ramosissima subclade. The generitype species, G. filicina, belonged to the sister position of G. tenuis, which strongly supported that G. tenuis phylogenetically approached G. filicina. Moreover, G. orientalis, and G. filiformis formed a sister clade with G. tenuis. All Grateloupia species were phylogenetically different to the two clades, especially Gelidiella ligulata and Gracilaria tenuistipitata serving as outgroups.
5. Conclusions
From morphological observation and rbcL gene sequence analysis, we concluded that the studied specimen was a new species of genus Grateloupia, defined as Grateloupia tenuis Wang et Luan sp. nov. Currently, due to algae species diversity, traditional taxonomic methods are not the most effective way to identify species. With the rapid development of molecular biology and gene sequencing technology; however, taxonomists are increasingly using combined morphological observation with DNA barcoding for algae classification. In recent years, human impact on marine ecosystems has increased the urgent need to conserve aquatic resources, and accurate species identification is a basic prerequisite in helping protect marine algae.

I think I realized that housework isn't as important as being with my grandchild. The things I thought were important aren't so much. The time with him is more important. —Diana Nevins
SALT LAKE CITY — New mathematical simulations support the idea that grandmas do even more good than their homemade treats, creative handicrafts, encouraging words and helping hands already do.
A new study by University of Utah anthropologists says that as humans evolved, females whose childbearing years were ending were able to step in and help weaning children forage for food and other necessities, allowing mothers to focus on having more children.
It was further support to the "grandmother hypothesis," a brainchild of Kristen Hawkes, a University of Utah professor of anthropology and lead author of the study.
"Grandmothering was the initial step toward making us who we are," Hawkes said.
The study was published this week in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The idea of grandmothering has been shown to not only give aging women an extension to their maternal purpose, resulting in an increased lifespan, but also to pass longevity genes to more descendants, who have longer adult lifespans as a result.
For Diana Nevins, becoming a grandmother was "the best news in the whole world."
Nevins, who lives in Spanish Fork, has four grandchildren but feels privileged to watch one of them, Lincoln, through much of the week while his parents work and go to school.
"It is important to spend time with them, be there for them and be their greatest and best fan," she said.
Nevins and her husband moved their life from Missouri, selling a house and buying a new one, to be in Utah for Lincoln.
"It was a giant leap of faith, but it has been worth every minute," she said.
Influencing children
An older grandson, Nevins said, attends BYU and comes over for Sunday dinner every other week. And she Facebook chats with a granddaughter every once in a while. It's all part of an attempt to be "a big part of their lives," which Nevins strives to be.
"That grand-baby is a part of your child, who you love so much. It is sort of an extension of that, another little person that stems from that," she said. "It's fun to see them grow and learn. I don't remember my children learning as quickly as Lincoln is."
Nevins, 61, said she feels different being a grandmother than being a mother, less responsibility maybe, as her grandchildren always go home at the end of the day to their parents. Having less to worry about as a mature adult, she said she can focus more on the happiness of her grandchildren, and that brings her joy.
"I think I realized that housework isn't as important as being with my grandchild," Nevins said. "The things I thought were important aren't so much. The time with him is more important."
She said the kids can learn things from her that they might not encounter elsewhere, including unconditional love.
"There are no strings attached with grandma and grandpa love. It's there all the time," Nevins said. And while Lincoln's demands are simple now — he's 18 months old — he appreciates the routine at grandma's house, which includes meals, playtime, a ride around the neighborhood on grandpa's scooter, and reading lots and lots of books.
Hawkes' hypothesis stemmed from observations conducted with another University of Utah anthropologist and co-author of the new study, James O'Connell, in the 1980s when they lived with Tanzania's Hazda hunter-gatherer people and watched older women spend their days collecting food for their grandchildren.
Except for humans, all other primates and mammals collect their own food after weaning, she said.
But as the population evolved, researchers have noted environmental changes that led to a scarcity of food.
"So moms had two choices," Hawkes said. "They could either follow the retreating forests, where foods were available that weaned infants could collect, or continue to feed the kids after the kids are weaned. That is a problem for mothers because it means you can't have the next kid while you are occupied with this one."
Other women were able to step in and help, showing a benefit to grandmothering, also allowing the population to continue to grow and flourish.
"My grandparents died before I was born, so it took me becoming a mom to know about the influence of the backup team known as grandparents and power aunts," said Cori Connors, a Farmington resident, mother, grandmother and musician.
Connors said her mother would pay the kids to learn and recite poetry, which encouraged them to become poets, songwriters, musicians and patrons of the arts "because she was astute enough to bribe them."
She said she misses her mother's influence.
The research
The computer simulations involved in the new University of Utah study help to support the grandmother hypothesis, measuring a change in adult longevity over time.
Chimps that reach adulthood (age 13) live an average of another 15 or 16 years, without help from a grandmothering figure. People in developed nations who reach adulthood (about age 19) live an average of another 60 years or so, to the late 70s or early 80s.
The simulation begins with only 1 percent of women living to grandmother age and able to care for grandchildren, but over 24,000 to 60,000 simulated years, about 43 percent of adult women are grandmothers, according to the study.
From adulthood, additional years of life doubled from 25 years to 49 years from the beginning to the end of the simulated length of time.Comment on this story
"Grandmothering gave us the kind of upbringing that made us more dependent on each other socially and prone to engage each other's attention," Hawkes said.
The idea gave rise to "a whole array of social capacities that are then the foundation for the evolution of other distinctly human traits, including pair bonding, bigger brains, learning new skills and our tendency for cooperation," she said.
"It's the best job in the whole world," Nevins said. "My mom used to say, 'I love you kids, but, oh my goodness, the love I have for my grandkids is unexplainable,' and now I know how she feels."

I have a clock that is driving thousands of ffs and the CTS could build a well-balanced tree with about 6ns insertion delay for me. However, to resolve the reg2out timing violations, I like to launch some signals earlear and therefor hope to have shorter clock tree insertion delay (say, 2 ns) for about ten registers (I know their instance names). What is the easiest way to achive this during CTS stage?
I figured out the solution: "MacroModel" will do the job!

It removes the need for unsafe behavior that's already been implemented (LayoutHooks, in particular). After this, all I forsee is a refinement of the API to make it safer and simpler (not that I see how to do so, but I am sure it must be possible). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

John Marshall is back on the air in New York. The veteran meteorologist turned up on WCBS/Channel 2 last weekend, doing weather forecasts on the morning newscasts.
He is reunited with anchor Rob Morrison.
"He and I started about same time at peacock. Great guy. Psyched he's on board," Morrison told FishbowlNY via Twitter.
Marshall's status with WCBS, however, is uncertain.
"He is just filling in until they find a replacement," a WCBS spokesperson said.
Last month, WNBC didn't renew Marshall's contract.

Pirelli revises compound choices for Hungary
11 July 2013 – Pirelli has announced it is now going to take the medium and soft compound tyres to the Hungarian Grand Prix later this month. The Italian tyre manufacturer had planned to provide the hard and medium tyres, but has opted to make the changes as the new construction rubber will be used at the Hungaroring.
"It is correct that we will bring the medium and soft compounds to Hungary," a Pirelli spokesperson confirmed to GPUpdate.net. "As a new construction will be introduced from Hungary onwards, the compound choices had to be adapted in order to stay in the window of two to three pit stops."
Pirelli's new construction tyres, which are being introduced after all the failures at the British Grand Prix, will be tested by the teams for the first time next week at Silverstone.

Reading the menu vs. eating it
Transitory Gaslamp means you have to straddle tastes
Patrick Henderson 8:03 p.m., Nov. 24
(Page 2 of 8)
"Wind carries the salt. So if you don't clean your windows every week, they get caked with it. There are only certain plants that'll grow in that salt air — ice plants, geraniums, bougainvillea, and some succulents. The guy who lived across the street could have a rose garden because it was sheltered. Otherwise it wouldn't have grown. And sand's a problem. It gets into the carpeting and stuck in the vacuum.
"I think it wasn't until I moved away from there that I realized how horrible the traffic was — with the tourists and the old ladies driving. [Because of the crowds], practically nobody in La Jolla goes to lie on the beach anymore. They go to La Jolla Shores, maybe, to run on that beach. North of there is Black's Beach, and that's where I used to surf and raft as a kid. Now it's a nude beach."
For Sale: Beachside Shack W/Vu. $2 Million
Coldwell Banker's Kate Adams is waxing eloquent about the staggering view of San Diego Bay's sailboats that can be seen from a $2.95 million Point Loma home that's also got an old Spanish-style dock for your boat. She describes in vivid detail the small-lotted but valuable properties along Del Mar's oceanfront that you can snap up for between $2.2 and $5.4 million. Want something with more bang? How about the six-bedroom home on Camino del Mar that's available for a mere $10.8 million? Great ocean view.
She spends her days, evenings, and weekends selling San Diego oceanfront property. She knows La Jolla's shoreline homes best. Ocean living doesn't come cheap there, she says. The lowest-priced property recently available on Camino de la Costa just sold for $2 million, she notes. A "cute-as-a-button" house at Cove Beach — with no yard, mind you — is up for $4.9 million. And a 13-bedroom — yeah, you read that right — on La Jolla Farms Road was bought in March "by a guy from L.A." for $15.9 million. A summer home, maybe?
Could Father Junípero Serra ever have imagined that his peregrinations would come to this? We think not.
Kate Adams took me for a spin in her Infiniti Q45 to view houses for sale along La Jolla's coastline:
"Yes, people will pay a lot of money for oceanfront property. Last year, two lots, each about 35 feet wide in the Del Mar Colony, sold for $10 million total. They had about 100 linear feet of beachfront. That's $100,000 a linear foot. And I don't think those lots were on the market for even a month.
"Right now, there's not that much beachside for sale. The inventory's very low. If you want a lot of land, and you want an oceanfront property, you're gonna run into problems. Two million dollars in Rancho Santa Fe will get you four acres and a nice house. But here, you don't get the land. You'll also be frustrated in La Jolla if you have a boat, because there are no harbors near here. The water's too rough. So you either go to the Coronado Cays or Point Loma if you want to keep a boat.
"What holds value are three things: oceanfront; a view — usually of the ocean; and land, lots of land. But finding that combination here is impossible. You have to justify the value over and over to people who come from other parts of the country. They get California sticker shock when they hear the prices for these oceanfront homes. But if someone wants waterfront, there's only so much of it. Because inventory's limited, prices are high. In La Jolla, beachfront makes up a very small percentage of homes, but those tend to be the most expensive.
"In La Jolla, which I know best, there are two types of waterfront neighborhoods: permanent and beach neighborhoods. People live all year round in the permanent beachfront neighborhoods, while people just stay in the beach neighborhoods for the summer. But there's a trend right now — the beach houses in the beach neighborhoods are being torn down and being replaced by bigger, permanent houses — that is, unless the historical society grabs you. So some neighborhoods are in transition.
"This all is La Jolla Farms. It was originally university-owned and has a history of slides. The whole area from Del Mar south has had that problem." She points to a series of large, low-slung estates overlooking the ocean. "Tony Robbins lives here… That house belongs to a TV guy from L.A.… And that one over there belongs to a physician from Colorado. I don't know what his specialty is.
"People are building Fairbanks Ranch stuff here in La Jolla Farms. In other parts of La Jolla, there aren't estates like this [she points to a house that looks like a Best Western International hotel]. But in La Jolla Farms, you'll see quite a few of them.
"That's La Jolla Shores. Those little condos over there with their old sinks and bathrooms go for in the 7s and 8s [$700,000 to $800,000].
"Now we're passing Windansea, with all the surfers in your face. You can see all the multiple-unit dwellings. They're really narrow, about one room wide, and they're long like shoe boxes. They go for about $1.7 million — $3000 a square foot."
She guides the Infiniti toward a huge stucco mansion. "Okay, this is Camino de la Costa, also called the Gold Coast. Except for La Jolla Farms, this is the highest-priced oceanfront property in La Jolla. Here you get lots of privacy. Take a look at that piece of dirt [a vacant lot] — it just went for under $4 million. There was one house here recently on the market for over $5 [million] that was a dump. But here's a great mansion for $9 [million]. And that one over there is $12.5 [million].
"This last place we're visiting is Bird Rock. It's a beachy neighborhood. Very mixed. See that house over there? The guy just broke variance by building it too high. I think he's going to have to take some of the top off."

Usually the first meeting of the season is a bit of a shakedown cruise, as everybody tries to get to terms with new machinery, find the best chassis set-up for Killarney's notoriously bumpy main circuit and get comfortable in stiff new leathers.
But it looks as if this weekend's first round of the 2013 Mike Hopkins Western Province Regional Motorcycle series is going to deliver fireworks from the very first lap, with most of the top runners on identical Kawasaki ZX-10R machines. The current ZX has been around for a couple of years and there is no shortage of information on how to get the best out of them.
Leading the charge will be Namibian Ronald Slamet, riding the ex-David McFadden ZX-10R with backing from Mike Hopkins. Towards the end of last season he was well-nigh unstoppable on the BMW S1000RR and he should be on the pace immediately.
Former champion Malcolm Rapson has also swopped his S100 RR for a ZX-10R, still with support from Donford Motorrad; if anybody will be able to keep 'Rocket Ron' honest it will be the lanky accountant from Welgedacht. Also ZX-10R mounted are Zane and Tyran Simon, and the irrepressible Aran van Niekerk, who has finally retired his six-year-old Yamaha R1 in favour of a Green Meanie with help from Stunt SA and Da Vinci Décor.
After seeing what he was able to achieve with the old war-horse last season, the man bears watching, as do Trevor Westman, still on the Walker Brothers S1000 RR, and Quintin Ebden, who has gone against the current by swopping from a Honda CBR1000RRFireblade to a Danie Maritz-tuned S1000 RR.
Class B is likely to be fought out between Mike van Rensburg (Yamaha R6), Mike Wilhelmi (Fast Fence ZX-10R) and 'Shrek' Smith, on the Entity Sheet Metals CBR1000RR, while class stalwarts Kurt Fortune (Kawasaki ZX-6R), Wayne Arendse (Honda CBR600RR) and Vossie Vosloo (Winland R1) dispute Class C honours.
Last year's 600 Challenge champion, Gerrit Visser, has moved up to a Honda CBR1000RR, so we can expect to see super-smooth Brandon Haupt, on the MX Clean GSX-R600, battling it out for class honours with Sharl Wasserfall (fast but accident-prone) on the Starlight ZX-6R, and born-again racer Hilton Redelinghuys on a Suzuki GSX-R600.
The pecking order in the Powersport Class is likely to be completely rewritten, however, as veteran Carl Liebenberg brings a new Kawasaki ER6 to the line under the familiar Calberg banner, with son Andrew and Trevor Westman on similar machines, to take on Warren Guantario, Brandon Storey and Ian Berry, each on a Suzuki SV650. All we can say is, expect the unexpected.
And right behind them will be Clubman racers Raiel le Roux (SuzukiGSX-R750) and the little girl on the big bike, Mandy Peake and the Fast by Fran VTR1000 V-Twin. If her team have managed to cure the start-line woes that plagued the big V-twin last season she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Opinion: My closer-to-home 'bucket list'
One of my favorite old T-shirts has a picture of a venerable Bass-o-reno on the back. Across the front it says, So Many Lures -- So Little Time.
These words seem profound. The "bucket list" concept, or things to do before it's too late, isn't new to this column. I've talked about it before, and I occasionally think about running out of time before I get to try these things. Some are within two days' drive, and I want to talk about them today along with a few that are practically on our doorstep!
International Falls and the Rainy River are an easy day's drive. In April, large sturgeon are spawning in the river, and they love night crawlers. We're talking fish that average 50 pounds and go over a 100. Filling the pickup with interested guys won't be a problem. Hitch up the boat and load up the heavy tackle. Why haven't we done this before?
Lake Erie is an easy two days' drive. We're talking April again, and the walleyes average seven pounds with some going over 10. As with the sturgeon, I'm more than willing to pull my boat. I see no problem getting a group together for this Great Lakes adventure. Drive straight through or stop in the Chicago area the first night.
While I'm talking fish, I still haven't caught my first striped bass, although we made a trip a few years ago to Beaver Lake in Arkansas. I can go south on I-35 to Lake Texoma, west to Arizona's Lake Powell or southeast to Kentucky. On Powell, the fish have over-populated and are causing forage problems.
Last summer, a day's drive brought us to musky fishing on Ontario's Indian Chain at Vermillion Bay. We caught muskies, but none were especially big. It's on my list for a repeat, although it doesn't look like it will be this summer. I did learn from the experience, and we won't make the same mistakes again.
This one is as close as the James or Missouri River. I'm talking about the pursuit of big catfish. Flatheads are partial to live bait, and they especially like small bullheads or bluegills. Heavy tackle is a must, and fortunately, I still have my paddlefish snagging equipment. I also have a good friend who will drop what he's doing at the mention of big cats.
I have one last simple destination on my fishing list. North Dakota's Devil's Lake is as fertile a body of fishing water as we have. It's easy to fish, and walleyes, northern pike and big yellow perch are abundant. I sometimes ask myself why I travel so far to fish waters that are no better than those closer to home. Betsy often asks the same question.
* * * * * * * * * *
Any one of us can have an archery deer tag. There's no limit on licenses, and we can hunt where we like. If I accomplish nothing else this coming fall, I will hunt mule deer on foot.
Spotting the deer from a high vantage point, watching them bed and then quietly stalking them is how it's done. This type of hunting is frequently featured on the Outdoor Channel, and it looks to be as thrilling as any hunting we have in the west. Our South Dakota lends itself to this hunting, and I've already wasted too much time.
Doug, one of my best friends, and I are always talking about doing some serious coyote hunting, but it seems one of us is always busy. It's about time we made time. Yes, December and January are busy months with deer, archery deer, muzzleloader deer, geese and turkeys, but some of these hunts could be combined with coyotes. We've got the gear, so we have no excuses.
Over the years, I've generally made the prairie grouse opener in September. Get up early and drive to Herrick or Wood. It's always a good time, but it's over so quickly. It is time to make a real outing out of it and stay overnight on the ranch, make some new friends, and even throw in the prairie dog rifle. In both places I've hunted, we've also found a few prairie chickens. Not very many hunters have even seen a prairie chicken. We South Dakotans are among the few.
What I said about grouse can also apply to ducks. We have a very huntable duck population in our area, but not what they have north of us around Webster, Redfield or Willow Lake. I need to make a scouting trip later this summer, and line up a place to hunt and a place to stay. I've got a duck boat (Betsy's favorite), waders and my old decoys. I also have former students around Willow Lake. All I have to do is do it!
In my last "things to do" column, I talked about heading south for Texas and helping them with their feral hog problem. We haven't made it yet, but I do have some places to hunt. Pig hunting is good any month of the year. It competes with nothing on my list. I'm thinking February or March would be a good time.
Talk is real cheap. Will I get these done? I'm going to hang this column on the wall, highlight the key words in every paragraph and make every effort to reduce the size of this list. With my time shared in Wisconsin, it won't be easy, but good things never are.
See you next week.

Dance Workshop and Audition for the Cavs Kids and the CAV-A-LITTLES Dance Troupes to be Held at The Q Saturday, January 21st
CLEVELAND, OH - January 6, 2012 - The Cavaliers are looking for boys and girls who can bust-a-move and want to show off their fancy footwork in front of thousands of Cavs fans during the 2011-12 NBA season. The team is holding a workshop-audition for the Cavs Kids as well as the cutest thing to ever hit The Q, the CAV-A-LITTLES, on Saturday, January 21st at Quicken Loans Arena.
The youthful squads, made up of talented dancers and performers ages 5-13, have quickly become a crowd favorite. Last year, the Cavs Kids and CAV-A-LITTLES performed in seven regular season games! This season, they will perform throughout the Cleveland Cavaliers regular season during designated "Kid's Nights."
Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m. and the fun-filled workshop-audition will run from approximately 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. The day will begin with a performance from the Cavalier Girls and the Cavs hip-hop dance troupe, the Scream Team, followed by a group warm up. The children will participate in two learning sessions that incorporate diverse dance styles. Immediately afterward, participants will put on a performance for their parents/legal guardians to show off the skills they just learned.
There will also be an opportunity to showcase their freestyle dancing, and the coaches will have a question and answer session for the children and parents. Coaches are looking for energy, showmanship, personality, crowd appeal, ability to execute choreographed dance routines, and individual talent. Following the workshop-audition, the lucky children selected to perform as part of this season's dance teams will be contacted.
Requirements for the workshop-audition include a $15 registration fee and a non-returnable photograph. A parent or legal guardian must be present to register their child. Children should look performance ready wearing comfortable athletic clothes with sneakers. They are strongly encouraged to bring water and a small snack for breaks throughout the day. All participants will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to a select regular season game.
The Cavs Kids and CAV-A-LITTLES dance troupes teach children the responsibility of being part of a team, as well as provide a channel for them to display their talent and creativity. As a member of one of these two teams, children will not only learn choreographed dances, but also train to explore their performance skills and gain a strong sense of self-worth while learning the importance of teamwork. Most of all, the kids will be encouraged to have fun doing what they love - dancing!
For complete information about the audition-workshop for the Cavs Kids and CAV-A-LITTLES, or to register, please visit cavs.com. Any further questions can be directed to the Entertainment Hotline at 216-420-2255 or can be emailed to email@example.com.


text: I've had my 9000 for a couple weeks now and just got notification that my stand and balancer will ship today. Having used a hand grinder for sharpening my blades all these years I finally bought a blade sharpener and only regret that I didn't do it sooner. Not only am I getting a better edge on my blades but I am now getting the correct angle. The ultimate test came today when I was mowing one of my lawns which had those pretty little yellow flowers that seemed to be attatched to barb wire stems. They were no match for the blades I sharpened on my 9000. And this was after the blades have been used a few hours. I showed my Exmark dealer blades that I sharpened on the 9000 and now he is interested in getting a Magnamatic. While I had a few questions about the 9000, they were all answered almost immediately when I e-mailed this company. Buying this sharpener has been a real plus for my business and dealing with this company has been a pleasure.

Rochdale - The 66 year-old humbug debunker buttonholed Clegg during a trip to Lancashire today where he was auditioning in a Herman Munster lookalike competition.
She asked him why he'd let ex-Gaddafi Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa off the hook just when he looked like cracking up.
The wily old Deputy Prime Monster appeared to 'laugh in her face' amid suggestions the British Government had just secured a massive military jet order with the Libyan resistance fighters.
Rumors that Koussa has been despatched to Qatar to secure funding for the fledgeling Libyan administration's $25bn purchase were rife this afternoon.
Duffy apparently demanded an explanation clarifying whether royal wedding bankroller the Emir of Qatar and his gargoyle wife Shaikha Mozzad were behind the latest handout.
Clegg looked gormless and uncomfortable during the encounter which saw locals declare a unanimous knock-out win to Duffy.
Miriam 'Lily Dracula-Munster' González Durántez-Clegg is 69.

Children's pandemic ED visits higher than expected but less serious
A study of 14 US children's hospitals found that emergency departments (EDs) during the height of pandemic H1N1 influenza in 2009 experienced 29% more total visits and 51% more flu-related visits than expected. However, visits for serious cases were lower than expected. The researchers, reporting in the current issue of Academic Emergency Medicine, recorded 390,983 ED visits in the 14 busiest weeks of the pandemic, of which 88,885 were for influenza-related illness (IRI). Of patients making ED IRI visits during surge weeks, only 4.8% were admitted to non–intensive care beds (70% of expected, P < 0.01), 0.19% were admitted to intensive care units (44% of expected, P < 0.01), and 0.01% received mechanical ventilation (5% of expected, P < 0.01). Patient factors associated with more-than-expected visits included ages of 2 to 17 years (highest in those 9 to 17), having insurance, being Hispanic or female, and having asthma. Lower-than-expected ED IRI visits were seen in children less than 2 years old, the uninsured, people with immune deficiencies or cardiovascular disease, and people living in Mid-Atlantic states. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Egg-allergic patients tolerate pH1N1 vaccine well
Pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccine was well tolerated in 59 children and young adults with egg allergies, according to a recent Canadian study. The patients, who were from 1 to 27 years old, were given skin-prick testing to the H1N1 vaccine. Only one patient, a 2-year-old boy, tested positive and, after consultation with his parents about the risks and benefits, was allowed to receive the vaccine according to guidance from the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI) for those at higher risk of allergic reaction. CSACI recommendations state that patients at higher risk or with unknown egg-allergy status be given 10% of their H1N1 vaccine dose, then observed for 30 minutes, and, if no reaction is noted, given the remaining 90% of their dose. Patients at lower risk, according to CSACI, should be given the full dose and then observed for 60 minutes. The study authors, after giving the full dose to all patients and relying on a shortened, 30-minute observation period, saw no ill effects.

Hong Kong finds novel H1N1 in 7 pigs but no reassortment
Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety (CFS) said today that seven pigs tested positive for human pandemic H1N1 flu from November 2010 to January 2011 on routine surveillance but reports that "no significant genetic re-assortment of viruses was found." An unnamed CFS spokesman said the results, from tests conducted by the University of Hong Kong (HKU), were not a surprise. He said, "The CFS will continue to monitor reports of HKU's regular influenza virus surveillance programme on pigs and make announcements on a regular basis. Results will be announced immediately if there are significant public health impacts such as genetic re-assortment of viruses."

The food agencies of the world will not allow real sausage to be packaged in a game box…
Eh, it depends. If it's more like a slim jim or other processed dehydrated meat stick that contains almost as much chemical preservative as actual food, then it probably wouldn't be a problem. I think in the US if something has a shelf life of over 2 years you don't even need to put an expiration date on it. I do think that part was a complete joke though. The video seems like a spoof since they didn't pull out some of the things that ARE listed as being in the box.

In fact I was able to get up to 5 at a time (in 5 different tracker windows.) I do not currently get a crash though. So maybe something changed in the mean time. Even when I had a selection and got two context menus in the same window I did not get a crash. As for the general case of the double (or more) context menus, I imagine this should indeed be handled by the menu tracking code, which I've been complaining about again lately. I thought it might be something which could wait, but with issues like this (and I'm sure there are more), it might make sense to work on that now. I'm thinking of creating a BMenuTracker object as Stephan has suggested in the past. If that was some sort of per-application global object (or multiple instances with some static members) it could be sure not to open more than one context menu. With these VirtualBox settings I also got up to 6 context menus in WebPositive. So I'm tempted to either close this issue or re-assign it to the Interface Kit. If someone else can reproduce the crash still, please add a comment with exactly how you reproduced it. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5941#comment:9> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.

No rain in Spain for Miley Cyrus! The "FU" singer, 21, enjoyed plenty of sunny weather while lounging around in Barcelona on Thursday, June 12, ahead of her concert at Palau Sant Jordi on Friday the 13th.
Cyrus relaxed poolside with pals in a bright red string bikini that showed off her slim figure and multiple tattoos. She was photographed goofing off with friends, at times pouring water on herself from a plastic bottle. Her platinum blonde pixie was parted to the side, and she wore mirrored shades to keep the sun out of her eyes.
The "We Can't Stop" pop star is currently on the European leg of her Bangerz World Tour. She'll get a break from the road in late June before starting up again in August.
Earlier this week, Cyrus performed in Milan, Italy, where she made headlines for appearing to diss fellow former Disney star Selena Gomez. Videos from the concert show the singer holding up a cardboard cutout of Gomez while singing "FU."
Cyrus was also recently in the news because of a burglary at her home in L.A. Two suspects broke into her house and stole her Maserati and some jewelry; the car was later recovered.

I finally got my new Queen Quilter all together tonight, put on some plain muslin top and back and some scrap batting and started her up.
At first I thought I was doing something totally wrong!! I was trying to baste the top across the top and the stitches were about 1/2" long!! It was working fine going forward and back but not side to side. I thought the stitch regulator wasn't working. I then looked underneath and saw that the thin cord for the stitch regulator wasn't letting the roller touch the rail. Once I got that out of the way it worked!!
I'm still playing with the tension since I don't think that the green bobbin thread that came on a pre-wound bobbin should be showing on the top. I need to play with the stitch length and see what I like best too. Overall I am so happy with how it's working. :-D
Now I just need to practice, practice, practice. And oh yeah... wear my glasses!!

Steve McClaren returns as Derby County manager 17 months after being sacked to replace Nigel Pearson
Steve McClaren has been unveiled as the permanent replacement for Nigel Pearson at Derby County, just 17 months after being sacked by the Rams.
McClaren met with Derby owner Mel Morris on Wednesday, with a deal concluded within hours of the former England manager's arrival that has seen him sign a contract until the end of the 2017/18 season.
McClaren has not taken on a managerial role since he was sacked by Newcastle in March 2016, with the Magpies going on to be relegated from the Premier League that season.
Having played for Derby during his career before beginning his coaching career with the Midlands club, McClaren has strong ties to the Rams and returns following a two and a half year spell as manager between September 2013 and May 2015.
Derby had been tipped for promotion in both 2013/14 and 2014/15 under McClaren, but a play-off final defeat by former employers Queens Park Rangers and a last-day defeat to rob his side of a second straight play-off appearance put paid to his time at the iPro Stadium.
Speaking to the club's official website, McClaren said: "I am excited to be back at Derby County as the club's manager.
"I have a great affiliation with the club, having been here on three previous occasions, and I am really delighted at the prospect of finishing what we started back in September 2013.
"I regret how my time at Derby ended back in 2015 and I am very motivated to put things right for the club and our supporters.
"My ultimate aspiration remains exactly what it was before, to take Derby County back to the Premier League.
"This football club has fantastic ambition, brilliant supporters and wonderful backing from the Chairman Mel Morris. I am looking forward to working alongside Mel, as well as [chief executive] Sam Rush who initially brought me back here in 2013. Sam and I worked very well together previously and I am certain we can pick up where we left off."
It has also been confirmed that Chris Powell will continue as assistant manager, having worked as caretaker manager during Pearson's suspension and subsequent departure. Kevin Phillips and Pascal Zuberbuhler will also continue as first team coach and goalkeeping coach respectively.
"For me, it was vitally important that Chris Powell and the existing team remained on the coaching staff," McClaren said. "When I was assistant to Jim Smith in the 1990s, Chris was part of the squad and a key player for us.
"He had a fine playing career, being capped by England as well as enjoying many years in the Premier League, so to have someone as talented as him as my assistant is really important."

'High-performance' Management Practices, Working Hours and Work-Life Balance
The effects of selected high-performance practices and working hours on work-life balance are analysed with data from national surveys of British employees in 1992 and 2000. Alongside long hours, which are a constant source of negative job-to-home spillover, certain 'high-performance' practices have become more strongly related to negative spillover during this period. Surprisingly, dual-earner couples are not especially liable to spillover - if anything, less so than single-earner couples. Additionally, the presence of young children has become less important over time. Overall, the results suggest a conflict between high-performance practices and work-life balance policies.

Family dog hit hard by virus
Coco, a two-year-old Rottweiler-lab, sits in isolation after contracting parvovirus. (SUBMITTED)
A Surrey dog owner is warning people to vaccinate their pooches for parvovirus or face large vets bills and emotional pain as their animals suffer.
Christina Montroy's two pets contracted the potentially fatal viral disease that can attack a dog's intestinal or cardiac system. The disease, which is highly contagious and is caught through contact with another dog's feces, landed two-year-old Rottweiler-lab Coco and eight-month-old pit bull Whalley in a veterinary clinic's isolation ward.
The price tag so far is $680 and counting as Whalley spent his fifth day in isolation and Montroy hasn't been allowed to visit.
"We call every day, but it's not the same," she said. "The first 48 hours were terrifying … but the last two days he's improved."
Coco has since been allowed to come home despite getting parvovirus after Whalley. By then, Montroy said, the family knew the symptoms that include a sudden lethargy and loss of appetite.
"They get very depressed, you can see it in their eyes," she said. "They just lay there."
The two dogs were sent to Pacific Animal Hospital, which confirmed three cases of parvovirus. However, a veterinarian at the hospital didn't want to discuss the cases or give her name for fear news of the virus would drive away other pet owners.
24 hours contacted six other veterinary hospitals or clinics in Surrey and none confirmed any other cases of parvovirus.
"My advice is vaccinate your puppies as soon as you are allowed so you don't have to go through this," Montroy said.

I have many readers that reach out to me behind the scenes on ideas on how to plan a weekly paleo meal. Everything from the "how" to the "where do I start" to "what should I shop for". In the beginning Paleo is very scary and daunting. It was for me! When I started I basically had to relearn how to eat and what to eat. What, no bread? No dairy? Even though those where horrible things to face I dove in anyways. I read so much paleo information and researched so many different Paleo blogs I start to dream about Paleo (true story). We are all super busy these days so making things easy and straightforward are all something we crave.

Setting up a 'cycle speedway team' from their homes in Mark Rutherford Road was all in a day's work for this gang from the past.
Alan Burridge sent in these snaps of himself and his friends from the early 1950s.
This picture captures Barry Palmer, Eddie Sox, Alan Burridge, Jim Lovell, Colin Massey, Peter Burridge, Brian King, Toby the dog and other pals on a camping trip to Cardington Road, close to the old signal box on the single line to Cambridge.
Alan said: "We had so many happy days and now, at 76, I still laugh at things we got up to and we were no trouble to anyone. I know it seems funny now but after years of war things were scarce and we made our own fun and had some great times."
After the camping trip the friends went on form a cycle speedway team by building their own bikes from old parts and creating an oval racing circuit with help from Mr Hull, a local haulier.

2. CNN Focuses on "Discouraged" Catholic Women Who Want "Revolution"
3. Couric Distorts Poll to Say Most Want "Less Conservative" Church
4. Reporters Predict DeLay Won't Survive, Will They Help Him Along?
Nets Zero in on "Ultraconservative" Ratzinger,
Just as Germany's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has emerged in the media as a leading papal candidate, the U.S. media have decided to do their best to discredit him by applying extreme and pejorative labels to him and portraying him as the enemy of progress. On Sunday, NBC's Jim Maceda referred to "the ultraconservative Ratzinger" and reported that "he was briefly a member of Hitler's youth group in Nazi Germany." On Monday morning, Katie Couric asserted that Ratzinger is "known to be quite conservative. He's been called 'God's rottweiler' because of his strict adherence to Catholic doctrine and 'The Enforcer' as well." Echoing Couric, ABC's David Wright said "he's been dubbed 'God's rottweiler,' a staunch conservative..." After her viewers voted Ratzinger the "Person of the Day," CNN's Paula Zahn on Monday night lamented how "he's butted heads with theologians and teachers, silencing dissent, shutting down debate over issues such as homosexuality and the ordination of women."
Lengthier renditions of the above quotes:
-- NBC's Jim Maceda, the MRC's Ken Shepherd noticed, concluded a Sunday NBC Nightly News story:
-- ABC's Good Morning America on Monday morning, April 18. The MRC's Jessica Barnes caught this from David Wright in Rome:
-- CNN's Paula Zahn Now on Monday asked viewers to pick, via the Web, the "Person of the Day" from amongst three Zahn briefly profiled in her first half hour: Cardinal Francis Arinze, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger or Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi.
At 8:46pm EDT Zahn announced the winner and provided a synopsis of his life:
CNN Focuses on "Discouraged" Catholic
Picking up where the broadcast networks left off on Sunday night, CNN's Paula Zahn on Monday night devoted a lengthy story to how "many Catholic women are praying that the white smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney will signal" a "revolution" which will change policy on abortion, birth control and women as priests. Zahn showed protests, complete with pink smoke "to symbolize what they see as a critical absence of women in the papal election process," as she centered her piece around the views of the Women's Ordination Conference, led by a woman who is supposedly "like many Catholic women in the United States -- devout but discouraged." Zahn ended with a plea from a 12-year-old girl: "I would ask the Cardinals if they could just, like, let the girls be priests or participate more in the church because, like, girls should get the same opportunities as boys."
The April 18 CyberAlert had recounted: The night before the Catholic Cardinals were to begin their conclave to choose a new Pope, the U.S. broadcast network evening newscasts painted the role of women as the most important issue and gave a platform to left-wing church activist Joan Chittister. "The future of the church is now in the hands of 115 men. Some Catholic women find that offensive," ABC's David Wright asserted Sunday night in leading into a Chittister soundbite. Wright proceeded to showcase a woman upset that her unborn daughter cannot become a priest, before concluding: "Men and women may be equal in the eyes of God, but many Catholics say in the eyes of the church, there's still a long way to go." Wright gave a soundbite to a church defender, but not CBS's John Roberts who sandwiched two denunciation from Chittister around touting how "a new CBS News poll finds the majority of Catholics think the next Pope should admit women into the priesthood, let priests marry, and allow birth control." Plus, "52 percent of American Catholics think the church is out of touch." www.mediaresearch.org
Zahn then turned to CNN Vatican analyst Delia Gallagher: "I was fascinated by something Cardinal George just had to say in response to this opposition growing in the United States among these women where he said, look, we just can't change it. Is that true?"
Couric Distorts Poll to Say Most Want
NBC's Katie Couric asserted on Monday morning that "according to a recent poll 78 percent of American Catholics would like the Catholic Church to be less conservative," but the only current poll the MRC could locate with such a finding was an early April CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey of Catholics which found 78 percent said the next Pope should "allow Catholics to use birth control." But Couric cherry-picked the number she liked since the poll also determined that when asked if the next Pope should "make church doctrine on abortion less strict," only 37 percent said he should compared to 59 percent who responded that he should not.
The MRC's Tim Graham noticed Couric's manipulation of the poll numbers and pointed out that the more relevant poll question in the same survey asked: "If you had to choose, do you think the College of Cardinals should select as the next Pope someone who is more conservative than John Paul II, about the same, or more liberal than John Paul II?" The results: 34 percent chose "more liberal," 59 percent endorsed the conservative status quo, and four percent picked "more conservative." That hardly matches Couric's line that 78 percent want a less conservative Pope.
The PollingReport.com lists the key results of the April 1-2 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. Scroll down at: www.pollingreport.com
Couric's assertion came during an April 18 Today session with Father Thomas Williams of the University of Rome who appeared from Rome. Her final question, as observed by the MRC's Geoff Dickens:
Reporters Predict DeLay Won't Survive,
NBC's Norah O'Donnell, New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller, Time magazine Washington Bureau Chief Michael Duffy and New York Times columnist David Brooks all predicted on the Chris Matthews Show over the weekend that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay will not survive his ethics scandal -- which raises the question of whether the media figures will cover DeLay in a way to help ensure the fulfillment of their predictions. O'Donnell and Bumiller demurred from predicting a specific date, but Duffy pegged DeLay's demise as by "the Fourth of July" and Brooks gave him until "Bastille Day. I give him ten more days from July Fourth."
The MRC's Geoff Dickens caught the discussion on the half-hour long Chris Matthews Show carried in most markets on Sunday, April 17, picking up after Matthews noted that, of the 12 regulars who rotate through his show, most think DeLay will survive.
Matthews then wondered: "Norah, do you agree with that? Is he going to make it?"
