This book reflects on the simple things, the moments that are meaningful, and the big questions that have concerned Bob Brown. It is a powerful book as well as a meditation on the great and the small. Inspirational, compassionate, outraged, Bob Brown's stories are rich with metaphor, entertaining and full of warmth. A great promoter of activism he is keen for all to experience life as richly as he has. Although he has seen much of the world through the prism of politics he still believes that there is reason to believe that the changes he has pursued can be made and will be for the better. His stories reveal a complex man with a quick wit and a joy for life.
About the Author
Bob Brown was born in Oberon, New South Wales and moved to Tasmania in the 1970s. He worked for many years as a medical practitioner, and was a founding member and director of the Wilderness Society. From 1983 to 1993 he held a seat in Tasmania's House of Assembly and in 1996 he was elected to the Australian Senate. He has won many awards for his work, including the 1987 United Nations Environment Program Global 500 Award, and the 1990 Goldman Environmental Prize. In 1996 the BBC's Wildlife magazine named him the World's Most Inspiring Politician.

Eagles host Portland State
Mon., Feb. 24, 2014
Men's basketball: Eastern Washington is one of the hottest basketball teams in the Big Sky Conference, but the Eagles still need at least two more wins to secure a spot in the league's postseason tournament.
In tonight's home game against Portland State, the Eagles (13-13, 8-7) can not only solidify their position in a crowded playoff race, they can move into a tie for third place.
Tipoff is at 6:05 p.m. at Reese Court. Eastern has won five of its last six games.
If anything, the Vikings (12-12, 7-8) need a win even more than Eastern; that also would give PSU a season sweep of the Eagles, thanks to a 92-83 win last month in Portland.
"We played a great first half at their place, and then had an atrocious defensive second half," Eastern coach Jim Hayford said. "Our players spent a lot of time watching video of that game and learning how to get better."

WSU women hit triple digits
Women's basketball: Tia Presley reached 32 points and Lia Galdeira added 27 in leading Washington State over Oregon 108-88.
The 108 points are the third-most in the history of the program and the 42 field goals made are a school record.
Presley was 13 of 17 from the floor as WSU shot 53 percent. It was the third time in four games that she scored 32 points.

Home-plate rules revealed today
Baseball: New guidelines regarding home-plate collisions will be out today.
MLB executive vice president Joe Torre made the revelation Sunday after wrapping up a series of meetings to discuss expanded replay with the 15 teams that conduct spring training in Florida.
Torre is optimistic the replay system that debuts this season will function as intended, helping umpires get potential game-changing calls correct while not disrupting the rhythm of play with lengthy delays.
The former New York Yankees manager did not provide specifics about the plate-collision rule except to say baseball wants to curb intentional contact initiated by baserunners. Associated Press

The Cyrano 00 (00 meaning "the top" in Italian) is the top-of-the-line handlebar from Fizik. Made from high-modulus carbon, this is the lightest and strongest Fizik handlebar. Just as your choice of Fizik Spine Concept saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, Fizik offers this same Spine Concept guideline to help you choose your most comfortable road handlebar shape.
The Snake Handlebar: If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders' width apart), you are a Snake. You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, deeper-drop handlebars. You will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach (80mm) and deeper, classic-style drop (130mm).
These products are being ridden at UCI World Tour level by the AG2R Pro Cycling Team. The application of The Spine Concept to handlebar shape is the result of Fizik's research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding Fizik saddles. A correlation was found between the saddle shape each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding.
Your shoulders' width should determine your handlebar width. Choose from the following centre-centre measurements: 400/420/440/460mm.

Unanswered: Crosstabs - Percentages coming out as integers
Using Crystal Reports Developer 10
I have a crosstab report. The crosstab is counting numbers of records. It shows number of records, and percentage of total number of records for that row. The values are correct, but the percentage can only be displayed as an integer, presumably because the two counts are also integers. I need to get 1 decimal place. I tried formatting the field, but Crystal keeps changing the format back again. I could create a formula for the percentage calculation, but can't figure out what the field names WITHIN the crosstab would be.

Found a solution through SQL
In the end I just added a field in the stored procedure that supplies data to the report. The field always contains 1.0. This let me switch from counting records to summing the contents of the field. Since the sums are floats, Crystal automatically provides the percentage as a float.
I would still like to know how to access contents of cells within the crosstab if anyone knows the answer to that!

When life gives you lemonade
But for Nicholas Martin, they're also a way to make a misleading case against governmental regulation.
Martin, the head of an organization that reeks of astroturf (no website, the only legitimate mention on the web comes from Sourcewatch noting another astroturf organization Martin belonged to), the Consumer Health Education Council in Indianapolis, complains that his daughter is only allowed to operate a business on public grounds one day a year, and that the health department would prohibit unlicensed food vending.
Of course, he doesn't bother to get any names or anything that might make the quotes verifiable.
Instead, he proceeds with the kind of blind privilege that entitles him to complain endlessly about regulations that generally make sense if considered in the light of the equality of the law — would he want everyone who wants to sell whatever food or drink they want to be able to do it anywhere? His strongest complaint is that the zoning laws officially prohibit him from having the stand on his lawn, but if that's really a problem, change the laws.
It's also disingenuous to pretend that these laws would meaningfully restrict his freedom — the health department says it would only respond to a complaint, and if his daughter was poisoned by someone else's lemonade stand, he'd be the first to complain. Rather, they function more like laws against speeding, where the laws themselves are only sporadically enforced, especially against the most egregious violators, but everyone still speeds. Just not by as much as they might otherwise.
Why the Los Angeles Times decided to run a facile anti-regulation piece from Indianapolis is beyond me, but next time I would hope that an editor would take a brief look at it before signing off on thin claims, misleading anecdotes and transparent propaganda from an anti-government activist.

There is nothing misleading about my piece, which you could have verified by contacting me. Through some painless googling you could also have discovered that the Consumer Health Education Council has been around since the 1980s.
Since the piece ran there have been several incidents of lemonade stands being shut down by authorities. But more importantly, the regulations prevent adult entrepreneurs from offering services and selling products. Unfortunately, there are reactionaries who oppose the liberalization of consenting economic activities among adults.

Well, there was plenty misleading about your piece, which I verified by reading it.
And just because the Consumer Health Education Council has been around since the 1980s doesn't mean it's not astroturfing, a phrase that's been around since the '80s.
In fact, the first result of a painless google search is Sourcewatch's article on the American Council on Science and Health, an astroturf organization.
As far as lemonade stands being shut down, well, you know, one of those things about being a journalist and not a flak is that you could provide at least a couple of links to support that.
Further, as long as we're talking — those regulations also prevent health risks and deaths. Reactionaries, a term usually reserved for conservative revanchists, generally want to remove regulations in order to socialize risk and privatize profit.
But I'm glad that the Consumer Health Education Council will be fighting to overturn drug laws that prevent consenting adults from enjoying economic and recreational activities.

Durban - A matric pupil was killed on Friday night and three others injured when their car overturned near Umlazi, south of Durban, paramedics said.
Their car was hit on the side by another vehicle on Mkhazini Road in the Fulweni area, Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said.
"The pupils were apparently travelling to a matric farewell event, but their destination was not known."
The 18-year-old male pupil died on the scene. Another was critically injured, while two others escaped with minor injuries.
They were taken to Mshiyeni Hospital.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, Botha said.
on there way to there farewell, probally had a few to start off with
I think you also had a few this morning, just read your comment again
if the driver was sober and stayed on his side of the road the other car would not have hit the side, the investigation will reveal the truth, i say ban alcohol completely and this wont happen, I bet you this is alcohol related, these windgat punk kids think they know everything
Hey Ian, did you go to school with Malema? Spelling.....shaking my head
Ian is stupid. The fact that he is an alcoholic,he thinks everyone is alcoholic. How does he know the driver was drunk and not on his side of the road.Ian you are the one who is drunk and your mind is on the wrong side of your thinking.
Ian you sound like a windgat punk adult and think you know everything
sorry mswati, cant help you there, i dont drink, you want to try that again
ian just get over your tiny self
sorry to hear that you can't afford a drink - I think you really need one now to chill out a bit...
Ian you chop! Stop making yourself look like an idiot!
Ian you a Wanker
Hey Ian slow down with the shouting looks like you need a drink Im paying
@Ian: Firstly you have made unfounded assumptions and passed judgement on people without having all the facts. Not a very wise thing to do.
Secondly, in one of your posts you have called for the banning of alcohol to stop the carnage on the road. I agree that alcohol is to blame for a great deal of accidents, but banning it is not the answer. Narcotic drugs are banned in this country, they are still widely used. Murder is a crime in this country; judging from our crime stats it still is a popular pasttime.
No sir, banning is not the answer. Proper education and policing is.
"there" and "their", know the difference.... now go back to school you illiterate fool.
No Taxi involved?
and were they speeding orthe car that hit them..shame a sad moment for the parents.Hope the minister of transport sees this and realizes its the drivers that cant drive and not the speed
@ Ian -It does not mean because he was going to a dance that he had been drinking.
COMMENT:Their car was hit on the side by another vehicle on Mkhazini Road in the Fulweni area, Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said.
@Ian -Assumption is the mother of all F...ups
Onother precious lives lost due to alcohol,i know for sure that the were probably drunk! including their driver.
and how do you know that
@jowza, Bosepa knows it because he is an uneducated moron with no feelings for others.
I do not see any reference to alcohol, are you lot clairvoyant? Thoughts are with the families who have suffered this loss and may the others get well soon.
It sounds more like a car hit them side-on, possibly at an intersection or from an overtaking maneuver gone wrong. Still sad.
There being a place
Their meaning its Their's
Big difference. And im a drinker and i know this. not everything can be blamed on drinking!
Seriously Ian, your first comment spelling error "probablly" is wrong, mixing up there instead of their. you really did not see your errors.
@Ian I PERSONALLY THINK YOU ARE A IDIOT! ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND A CHILD LOST HIS LIFE!!! DONT BE SO JUDGEMENTAL AND STUPID!!! SOMEBODY IS GRIEVING FOR THE CHILD! SUPPOSE TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!
@ ian - kate has apoint smart ass probally. Wtf is that.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Erickson Incorporated, a global company that provides aviation services, announced Wednesday that it and some of its subsidiaries voluntary filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In a statement, President and CEO Jeff Roberts said "Unfortunately, Erickson is not immune to the numerous business challenges currently facing the helicopter industry which have placed downward pressure on operating results and asset values."
A restructing of the company will occur, but the company said the restructing will preserve an estimated 700 jobs and will "allow Erickson to continue to work with the vendors and suppliers around the world."
Erickson's economic impact in Oregon accounts for nearly $500 million annually. An estimated 300 of its employees are based in state, according to data provided by the company.
The company operates roughly 69 aircraft and is headquartered in Portland.

A little more on acai berry powder
Acai berries are an increasingly popular and very tasty source of nutrients that come from an Amazonian tree. Due to quick rancidity resulting from their high fat content, these small, blue berries are not available fresh outside of that region. Although some suppliers do freeze acai berry pulp, the most common way to enjoy the health benefits of acai berry is to purchase the powdered acai berry pulp in which the seeds are best not included. In other words, our nutritious, natural and organic acai berry powder!
Our short nutritional summary
The acai berry health benefits largely come from their very high nutrient and anthocyanin levels, as well as from the acai berry fruit being especially rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. Furthermore, a good mix of amino acids in the high protein content of acai berry powder, good dietary fibre, and several plant sterols also add to the acai berry benefits.

Banks Islands, volcanic group in northern Vanuatu, southwestern Pacific Ocean. The group includes the islands of Vanua Lava, Santa Maria (Gaua), Mota, and Mota Lava, as well as numerous islets. The Portuguese navigator Pedro Fernández de Quirós was the first European visitor, in 1606; the islands were mapped in 1793 by Capt. William Bligh of the British navy and were named by him for his patron, the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks. Along with the nearby Torres Islands, the group receives the highest average annual precipitation in Vanuatu (about 160 inches [4,000 mm]). The islands are heavily forested. The northernmost islet, Uréparapara, is a volcanic cone that has been breached by the sea, thus creating Lorup Bay in its east coast. Several of the islands have active volcanoes. The islands' inhabitants, who are mostly Melanesians, cultivate copra and coffee for export. There are airstrips on Mota Lava and Vanua Lava.

The decision to remove gluten – a protein found in wheat, barley and rye – from your diet is a huge lifestyle change that requires vigilance and determination. Just as there are many different responses to ingesting gluten, there are a number of reactions the body can have to removing it. For many people, their symptoms disappear immediately and they are instantly rewarded for their decision to go gluten free. For others, symptoms may intensify for a period of time as the body readjusts to life without gluten.
1. Gluten Intolerance
A gluten intolerance is any form of immune response to ingesting the gluten protein. There are multiple immune responses to gluten including an autoimmune reaction – known as celiac disease – an allergic reaction and what is now being called a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The rates of gluten intolerance are growing, with an estimated 1 percent of the population now suffering from celiac disease and an estimated 18 million people – or 6 percent of the U.S. population – now believed to have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Symptoms of a gluten intolerance can include diarrhea, foggy mind, joint pain, skin problems and psycho-emotional issues.
2. Withdrawal
Withdrawing from gluten can have the same effect as removing an addictive substance – when those with an intolerance ingest gluten, it stimulates a release of corticosteroids like adrenaline. The body becomes addicted to the rush of corticosteroids it receives from eating gluten and many people report a drug-like withdrawal period when removing gluten that can last up to three or four days. Another reason that removing gluten from the diet cold turkey can produce withdrawal symptoms – including fatigue, headaches and painful joints – is that gluten is broken down into gluteomorphin, an analog to opiate drugs, according to immunologist and researcher Aristo Vojdani.
3. Immune Hypersensitivity
After years of combating a daily invader – which is basically how the immune system of a gluten-sensitive person responds to ingesting gluten – the immune system can become hyperreactive. In removing gluten, the body may experience a difficult transition as it learns to calm down in the absence of a chronic stressor. As the body flushes the toxins associated with a gluten intolerance, some of the peripheral symptoms such as skin breakouts and headaches may get worse for a period before they get better. The immune system and body as a whole can then come back into greater homeostasis, and most people experience a significant reduction or elimination of their symptoms within one to six months of the gluten removal.
4. Success Tips
Don't be deterred by the idea that a gluten withdrawal will be too difficult. There may be a few days of intense discomfort and a few weeks or months of detoxification as your body adjusts. After the initial transition, most people feel like they have a new lease on life. If you are planning to remove gluten, set aside a few days in which you can just relax. Drink plenty of water and eat simple foods like vegetable broths and fresh fruits as your body releases toxins.

Flow Routing Systems
This technology selects the depth to which tributary inflow enters a lake or reservoir, or from which water leaves over the spillway or to a water supply intake. The approach requires no pump or siphon (no power - it is gravity-driven). The method manages depth-discrete flushing rates to prevent oxygen loss, nutrient build-up, and other causes of algae blooms and water quality problems.
For Supply Source Water Reservoirs, retrofit attachments to existing intake structures can improved the depth-selective capability - avoiding the highest algae concentrations, waters with high Iron or Manganese, DBP precursors and other constituents of concern to treatment.
In some Multiple-Reservoir Systems a series of Flow Routing Baffle Partitions can control how water passes through the system in a manner that maintains very good Raw Water Quality. Flow Routing Partitions can contain anaerobic respiration products such as Iron and Manganese 'up-reservoir' and allow only the highest quality water to reach Supply Intakes. Flow Routing has been implemented using Submerged Weir Partitions, Surface Baffles, and Retrofit Spillway Outflow Structures. This approach to managing reservoirs and lakes uses only Natural Forces- Gravity and Hydrology - No Power Consumption!

You have purchased several essential oils over the past few years and wonder what you should do with them when they are beyond their best therapeutic age.
There are several uses for those essential oils when they have become too old. Maybe we should first address the age or shelf life of essential oils and carrier oils.
To start we will cover carrier oils, as many of them have a varied shelf life. If kept refrigerated and tightly capped they can last about 18 months to 2 years. Beyond that, they will start to turn rancid as they oxidize.
If they start having a rancid odor, get rid of them. Do not use them. They are more detrimental to your health when they are rancid, besides they just smell nasty..
The Exception in the Carrier oils is Jojoba and the Coconut oils. Both of these have a shelf life of about 5 years. Most folks though use them up and never have to worry about them going bad. Personally, we have never smelled spoiled or rancid Jojoba and Coconut oil, as we just dont have them around long enough.
Probably best not to empty in the kitchen sink. Our best suggestion is to take them to an oil recycling center. Recycling - they may be used for heating, automobiles or other non-human uses.
Possible other uses might be to help remove bugs and tar/road spatter from your auto. Be sure to use gloves. Or if you have to deal with pine pitch, a little soaking with a carrier oil may help to make it easier to remove.
There are a few Essential oils that have a very short shelf life less than 6 months and others can have a fairly long shelf life if kept in a cool, tightly capped bottle up to 10 years (maybe more).
Eventually all essential oils will become non-therapeutic and should not be used to treat any type of ailment or condition as you will just not get good results.
You need to use Fresh oils when they are to be used for any skin condition. And especially if you are treating any kind of rash, lesion etc. Dont use old essential oils and do not use old carrier oils on the skin!
Essential oil when blended with any carrier oil or lotion will have the shelf life of the shortest shelf- life item in the blend. If the carrier oil is only good for 1 year, then the massage or skin oil is only good for 1 year.
Our suggestion is to mix or purchase only what you can use up in 1 year. After that throw it out and buy fresh.
The Citrus (Orange, Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, etc) and Conifer needle oils (Pine, Spruce & Fir) can be used on the skin when mixed properly for up to one year. After one year, oxidation causes too many chemical changes in the constituents, causing any of these to become skin irritants.
Most all other essential oils can safely be used for Therapeutic applications either blended into a carrier or used in diffusing/inhalation for up to 3 years, again provided they are kept tightly capped and cool.
If not too old you can still use them for diffusing, just dont use them in anything applied to the skin or if you need to have a therapeutic result.
You can use them in the cleaning bucket, in the garden to deter pests insect and furry creatures, you can use them in the closet or storage buildings. The list really is endless.
In the garden, add your old essential oils to Fiber Bits then sprinkle around your plants. Old Geranium oil is great to use as it deters most garden insect pests. The Fiber bits are organic material and will eventually compost in your garden.
Again, it is best not to pour essential oils down the drain. If you cannot find a use for them then, again either take them to recycling or find out if your garbage service allows disposal through them
We replace our personal use essential oils every year at vacation time. We always want to use fresh oils.
If we have a ml or 2 left in a bottle we soak them into the Fiber bits and sprinkle them around our house and yard. It makes the outdoors smell pretty good and hopefully keeps the nasty insects away!
If you have old oils What? You need to know you are purchasing in too large of quantities!! Buy smaller amounts so you can always have fresh. Date the bottles when they arrive and replace in one year. As I stated, if you have too much in a bottle after one year, buy smaller.
If time slips by you can always use essential oils in your cleaning bucket. Does your sidewalk or deck need a scrubbing or maybe even the house, trailer, boat, etc you get it, dont you? Mix them with soap and water and get to scrubbing!
And don't forget to buy NEW FRESH OILS for your Therapeutic needs!!

Critic Rex Reed Responds To Melissa McCarthy Weight Controversy With The Most Cliche Excuse In The Book
Melissa McCarthy's new movie Identity Thief is making a lot of money at the box office, but it's been at the center of some controversy, namely related to New York Observer critic Rex Reed's review, which calls McCarthy a "female hippo" and "tractor-sized."
Unsurprisingly, Reed faced a lot of backlash concerning these unnecessary comments. Now he's responding to the criticism, blaming Universal for fanning the fire: "This is an organized group of people, believe me. And it's all being fanned because of Universal's desire to sell tickets to a bad movie." Right, because Universal told you to write a review mocking an actress's size…
Then Reed pulls out the most cliché excuse for making an inappropriate comment in the book, saying, "I have too many friends who've died [from obesity-related issues]," and "I object to using health issues like obesity as comedy talking points." Do we really have to hear one more person use "Some of my best friends are… [fill in the blank]" as an excuse for saying offensive things? If Reed is so concerned about obesity issues, using words like "hippo" isn't going to make any kind of social progress. Reed then mistakenly calls McCarthy "Melissa Manchester." Nothing like getting the person's name wrong when you're semi-apologizing to them.
I haven't seen Identity Thief, because it has received terrible reviews, including from our own reviewer at Crushable. However, I do object to the film's use of McCarthy as fodder for fat jokes. One of Reed's main points, made impossible to take seriously because of the ridiculous choices he made in saying them, is that McCarthy has been made into a big stereotypical joke at the expense of her body. I can't say I disagree with him, but attacking her for it in such classless terms isn't going to help matters. Rex says in his review:
"Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) is a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success."
Actually, he's wrong about a few things here. A quick look at Melissa McCarthy's IMDb page shows that her career actually hasn't been that short. She's been acting since 1997. And she hasn't devoted her career to being "obese and obnoxious." I was first introduced to her as Sookie on Gilmore Girls, a lovable character whose size was never an issue, let alone a joke. McCarthy also had a likable role on the short-lived series Samantha Who? That's not even mentioning her Emmy-winning role on the sitcom Mike & Molly. It was Bridesmaids that introduced her to a wider audience, and unfortunately that was the role that drew praise from viewers and the Academy. It seems like I'm in the minority, but I didn't enjoy Bridesmaids as much as I would have liked, mostly due to McCarthy's role. I wish she hadn't received an Oscar nomination, because it has pigeonholed her as an unattractive laughing stock movie character, and McCarthy is capable of so much more than that. She seems to be trying to play into people's love for that character type by taking roles in Identity Thief and the upcoming comedy The Heat.
But playing into the fat jokes and incorrectly generalizing McCarthy's acting abilities, as Reed has done, does absolutely nothing to encourage a different view of women's size in pop culture.

Sept. 11 shook the world. Memorials have been established in all 50 states and at least eight countries.
Heavy-heart metal
After the World Trade Center Towers fell, pieces of the broken building were stored in an 80,000-square-foot hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The collection includes things like steel beams and crushed police cars.
The steel has been cut into more than 2,000 pieces and distributed to nonprofit groups, governments and museums. Today, fewer than 30 pieces of debris remain in the hangar. The parts can be found all over the world.
At least eight memorial sites in Southern California include WTC steel: in Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Laguna Beach, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.
Places of tribute
Thousands of 9/11 memorials have been built in the past 15 years, each with its own tribute. Today a new one will be unveiled in Huntington Beach. Here are a few other examples of how we remember.
Dedicated Sept. 11, 2011: The Rosemead 9/11 Memorial at City Hall Civic Plaza was designed by artist Heath Satow and funded entirely by private donations. It features a beam from the World Trade Center.
Dedicated Sept. 11, 2012: The Loma Linda Fire Department's memorial is at the city's main fire station on Barton Road. The design features two concrete structures with a beam from the World Trade Center between them. It was dedicated on the day of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Dedicated Sept. 11, 2011: The Beverly Hills 9/11 Memorial Garden on the grounds of the Beverly Hills Fire Department. A remembrance will be held at 5 p.m. today.
It's unknown who fastened an American flag to a large piece of driftwood on Poche Beach in San Clemente the day after the attack, but the scene has been preserved.
The sight is easily seen by thousands daily who pass by in trains or cars along Pacific Coast Highway.
It is cared for by a small homeowners association nearby and has withstood pounding by rough seas and vandalism in 2012.
Originally just a small pole tied to driftwood the memorial now has a staff securely fastened with a reinforced base.
The electric company servicing the area installed a light so the flag is illuminated in darkness.
The memorial has flown flags from U.S. bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Memory preserved
Last week the iconic flag that was raised at the World Trade Center by three firefighters and famously photographed was donated to the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
The flag underwent DNA testing to validate its authenticity and was donated by the flag's original owner, Shirley Dreifus.
The flag was taken from Dreifus' husband's yacht and raised at Ground Zero becoming a symbol of hope and rebuilding in the aftermath of the attacks.
The History Channel will air a documentary on the flag's significance and how it was validated at 10:30 tonight.
Never Forget?
Americans can remember where they were better than what year the Sept. 11 attacks were.

Baroness Williams of Crosby: Perhaps I may ask the noble Lord one brief, technical question. Under the Dublin convention will the last friendly country be assumed to be a nation state or the Schengen agreement countries as a whole?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: I believe that it is the first country of entry into the European Union rather than the last friendly country which is covered by the Dublin convention. My understanding is that the Dublin convention applies to Schengen and non-Schengen countries alike. So it is where entry takes place into the European Union rather than the last friendly country which is the consideration.
Before I return to the subject of Gibraltar, which is clearly of concern, I say to the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, that I do not agree with his claim that the move after five years to qualified majority voting will take place if two-thirds of the member states agree. The treaty states quite clearly in Article 73o that the Council has to act unanimously in order to make a decision as to whether to move to qualified majority voting or to stay with unanimity.
I now turn to the issue of Gibraltar. I recognise that this is a highly sensitive and difficult issue. I refer Members of the Committee not only to the text of the treaty itself, but to Protocol IV and Declaration 45.
We shall continue to defend vigorously the position of Gibraltar in the European Union and the Community law rights of Gibraltarians, in particular existing rights of free movement in the EU. There is nothing in the provisions of the Amsterdam Treaty which erodes these rights, nor which gives Spain any additional rights over its border with Gibraltar.
Where a measure that the UK would like to opt into is potentially relevant to Gibraltar, our approach will give due weight to the interests of the UK and to the interests of Gibraltar, as with any other EU measure. Where the UK opts in it will negotiate robustly and in good faith, taking fully into account the interests of Gibraltar.
Nevertheless, a number of criticisms have been levelled at the Government, both here and in another place, on their negotiation of the provisions for UK participation in existing Schengen measures. I would therefore like to take this opportunity, as I was invited to do by the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, to set the record straight about what happened at Amsterdam.
During the course of the debate at the European Council, Spain proposed an amendment to the Schengen Protocol to bring in unanimity for UK and Irish participation in the existing Schengen acquis. I am talking about the Schengen acquis, the core text, rather than to any subsequent agreements. At the insistence of the Foreign Secretary, there was agreement that any such amendment should be submitted in writing by Spain. No such amendment was submitted.
When the revised treaty text was circulated after the Summit, we subsequently learnt that the unanimity requirement had been introduced into the text. We took that up with the Dutch presidency and a number of member states. It emerged that there was a misunderstanding about what had been agreed at Amsterdam. As a result of that intervention we obtained Declaration 45 that provides protection for the UK's interests in this area.
The declaration invites the Council to seek the opinion of the Commission before it decides on a request by the United Kingdom to participate in any measure in the existing acquis. Moreover, member states undertake to use their best efforts to enable the UK to participate.
Lord Moynihan: I am most grateful to the Minister for clarifying the position. He said that these matters were taken up with the Dutch Government and I asked whether it would be possible--it would certainly assist the Committee--to see a copy of the letter which the Dutch Government wrote back to our Government. I should be grateful if the Minister could confirm that that letter will be published.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: No, it is not normal practice for intergovernmental correspondence of that kind to be published. Perhaps I may anticipate the noble Lord's next question. Members of his party in another place have asked several questions about the availability
The important thing is not the process of what happened on a particular night, however late, in June, but the result. Declaration 45, which has been attached to the final Act of the treaty, makes the provision, to which I have referred, for the Council to seek the opinion of the Commission before it decides on such a request from the UK or Ireland. Other member states undertake to make their best efforts available to allow the UK or Ireland to participate. Moreover, the UK cannot be blocked from opting into proposals and initiatives which build upon the Schengen acquis. That is a declaration of the intergovernmental conference. It is politically binding on all member states and any decision to allow the UK or Ireland to participate in the existing Schengen measures will be a political decision.
Noble Lords have referred to the issue of Gibraltarians taking part in European parliamentary elections. We understand the strong feelings in Gibraltar about the lack of representation in the European Parliament. As has been said, it is true that Gibraltar is bound by a number of directives from the Commission and the Parliament. We have reviewed the situation, but we have had to conclude that the practical and legal difficulties of any change would be formidable. The main obstacle is the requirement to amend the 1976 European Communities Act on direct elections, which has treaty status. An amendment would require the agreement of all member states and subsequent ratification by all member states. The prospect of securing that is uncertain, to say the least. Therefore, we are not attracted to pursuing that possibility now when the chances of such an agreement remain so uncertain. We have other priorities to pursue on Gibraltar's behalf.
I hope that that has set out the position on the negotiations that took place and how they affected Gibraltar in the context of Title IIIa of the protocols, and now of the declaration which has been appended to the treaty.
The free movement title is enormously important and valuable. It is clearly right that those who wish to open their frontiers internally should be able to do so, but at the same time that the position of the UK, which sees, or may well in the future see, advantage in particular aspects of the title but which is determined not to have an open frontier policy, should be protected. Our negotiations at Amsterdam provided both the freedom for the Schengen countries to go ahead as they wish and a clarification and assurance that our opt-out from the Schengen agreement is accepted and included in the treaty, and that we have the ability and the power to adopt those parts of the title that are consistent with our own national interests. That has been our concern throughout, and that has been the result of our negotiations at Amsterdam.
Lord Moynihan: Before the Minister concludes his remarks--I thank him for going into these points in detail--I must press him once more on this matter. For a Government who are totally committed to transparency and openness, I believe that on an issue of
Ironically, he anticipated my second question, which I had not asked. Part of the reason for not asking it was that I took as read the claim by the Minister of State in another place that there were no provisions for minutes to be taken or that there were no tapes. Given that there were Amsterdam tapes, surely it would be helpful if the relevant extracts could be made public along with the letter to clear up these matters. In the interests of open government, surely there is every benefit in making available this information on a matter of critical importance to the people of Gibraltar.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: I do not believe that the noble Lord need be in any doubt about our adherence to open government. It would be a quite remarkable state of affairs if, in conflict with all of the principles of diplomatic negotiation between nation states, we unilaterally published confidential correspondence between one nation state and another. The noble Lord's government did not do it. I believe that I see the noble Baroness, Lady Park, nodding in agreement. I think I am right in understanding that she also cannot imagine how it would be done. I do not think that on this occasion we can make such a major change.
Lord Molyneaux of Killead: Before the noble Lord sits down, some noble Lords will be greatly encouraged by his words in regard to voting rights for Gibraltarians for the time being. I hope that I do not misquote him. Will Her Majesty's Government give some thought to the helpful suggestion that has been made by the noble Baroness, Lady Williams of Crosby, in regard to the Belfast treaty? That is not as far fetched as it may seem. That treaty now provides a consultative mechanism for overseas British territories such as all three Channel Islands separately plus the Isle of Man. That is not too great a stretch of the imagination.

City of Minot officials on June 27 presented the Federal Emergency Management Agency's new preliminary flood risk maps. The proposed new maps will affect insurance premiums for approximately 3,200 properties in Minot and an additional 800 properties within Minot's two-mile extra-territorial area.
Residents have the opportunity to meet face-to-face to discuss flood insurance issues with FEMA and City of Minot officials on July 19 during a public open house. The event will be held at the Minot Municipal Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
City Manager Tom Barry and City Engineer Lance Meyer said the new maps expand the flood plain following the devastating flood of 2011. FEMA will officially present the maps to the City of Minot on July 17. The City then has a 90-day window to appeal aspects of the maps. The maps are preliminary, and won't become final until July 2018.
The preliminary flood plain maps can be accessed at the City of Minot's website at minotnd.org. Under the "Flood Control and Resilience Efforts" headline, click the "FEMA Risk Maps: Are you included?" link, which will direct you to a FEMA interactive map.
"We encourage anyone who is questioning whether or not they might be included in the new flood plain to visit the web site. You can type in your address and see where your residence or other structure sits as it relates to the new flood plain map," Meyer said.
Barry and Meyer encouraged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to sit down face-to-face with FEMA officials, City of Minot representatives and others during the public open house on July 19 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Minot Municipal Auditorium.
"If you have any questions about your situation or are simply looking for more information, July 19 is a great opportunity to get answers directly from FEMA and others," Barry said. "We hope Minot residents take advantage of this open house."
Meyer said a grandfathering provision will help keep insurance premiums from rising more than 18 percent yearly for residents who buy flood insurance before the maps become official in 2018. Those grandfathered rates would be transferrable to the new owners if a home in the flood plain was sold. The City is also working with FEMA's Community Ratings System to earn discounts for Minot residents. Because Minot participates in the Community Rating System, the City currently has a 10 percent discount on premiums, and work being done by the City could raise the discount to 15 percent.
In addition, insurance rates for homeowners in sections of Minot are expected to decrease once the first four phases of flood protection are complete, which is scheduled for approximately 2025. Those projects, beginning in west Minot, would protect roughly 62 percent of the City from levels of the 2011 flood.

General Motors has been forced to mount a multi-front defence of its battery-powered Chevrolet Volt amid signs demand for the vehicle is slumping.
GM Chief Executive Dan Akerson told a House of Representatives panel that the Volt had become a "political punching bag" and that a US safety probe of the vehicle in part was politically motivated. The car maker launched national television and print ads defending the car's safety and fielded Volt questions online while the hearing was underway.
"We did not engineer the Volt to be a political punching bag," Mr. Akerson said at a House panel looking into whether US regulators delayed releasing information on a probe of the vehicle.
"And that, sadly, is what the Volt has become."
The Detroit car maker reacted strongly to counteract the impact of the probe and the hearing on perceptions of the Volt. Dealer orders for the car are down, the company said, and GM is considering slowing production due to less-than-expected demand.
Congressional critics accused the agency of purposely failing to disclose the investigation for months, arguing that any perception of Volt as dangerous would hurt the White House after President Barack Obama and members of his administration touted the car in efforts to promote electric vehicles.
The Volt "is a halo car not so much for GM but for this administration," said Republican Mike Kelly.
The vehicle has become a polarising issue amid Republican criticism of the Obama administration's financial support of electric and other alternative vehicles.
"For the sake of the Volt and electric vehicles in general it is important we close the door on this issue," said GM spokesman Rob Peterson. The company, he said, launched the ad campaign amid worries that attention the Volt has received because of the safety investigation could deter customers or give them the impression the car is dangerous despite being declared safe by NHTSA.
NHTSA closed its safety investigation last week, saying the car poses no unusual risk of fire. GM from the start maintained the car is safe but took unprecedented steps to reassure Volt owners and the public that it was taking the matter seriously, including repurchasing some vehicles.
The company is adding steel reinforcements around the battery to prevent damage in the case of a crash. It also will add a sensor to monitor coolant levels and a bracket to the top of the coolant reservoir to prevent an overflow.
The Volt was failing to meet demand expectations before safety questions arose. GM fell about 2300 vehicles short of its goal to sell 10,000 in 2011. The company also has backed off its target of selling 45,000 Volts in the US this year.
Several dealers have said they are struggling to sell Volts and some are declining to take all the vehicles offered to them. Earlier this month, Vice Chairman Steve Girsky said the company was unsure how much demand exists for the vehicle and will decide by June if the vehicle "has legs."
Before the probe, the car was hamstrung by supply issues, its high cost and slow sales in California, where the vehicle didn't qualify for a tax credit and unrestricted use in car-pool lanes. GM will soon release a version of the Volt in California that meets those standards.
The car maker has not yet restarted production of the Volt following the holiday shutdown of its factories. Mr. Akerson said he expected production to resume in a few weeks. On Wednesday, he said demand for the car is improving.
GM, in the print ads, touted the car's safety and called the car, "the most significant step ever in GM's history to give customers a choice beyond oil."
Much of Wednesday's hearing focused on NHTSA Administrator David Strickland, who defended the agency's move to wait six months to disclose concerns about a potential fire risk in the Volt amid criticism from lawmakers that the decision was politically motivated.
Mr. Strickland took heat from members who accused the agency of waiting to publicize its investigation into Volt batteries for fear of hurting Obama administration efforts to advance electric vehicles.
"We pulled no punches," in the Volt investigation, Mr. Strickland said. If the Volt was unsafe, he said, "we would have clearly disclosed it".
NHTSA disclosed in November it was investigating potential fire risk in the Volt because one of the vehicles caught fire weeks after a severe crash test. The announcement came months after the fire incident and immediately following a Bloomberg News report on the incident.
Mr. Strickland said the agency waited to announce the investigation because it took months to determine whether the Volt battery was the cause of the fire -it occurred in a facility with other vehicles - and whether a fire could occur again.
He said the car never posed an imminent threat to drivers as the fire occurred weeks after the crash. In subsequent testing, three batteries sparked or caught fire but only after they were removed from the vehicles and intentionally damaged.
"Not only would I drive one, I would drive one with my wife, mother and baby sister on board," he said.

Wake Forest's surprise ACC title run and Orange Bowl berth proved to be one of the defining story lines of the 2006 college football season. Unlike the other big underdog success stories of last season (Boise State and Rutgers), the Demon Deacons came out of nowhere. They were the only team in the country to win a "big six" conference title after failing to reach a bowl game the season prior.
Which teams are capable of pulling off a similar feat this fall? Take a look below at my top candidate in each of the six major conferences. Remember that the only teams eligible are the ones that failed to go bowling last season.

Don Kincaid points out that his new CD has "something for everyone."
Kincaid, who grew up in New Jersey, spent time in Texas, and now lives in Hackettsown, has been playing guitar, writing and singing his own material, for many years. And he's been working on his CD for the past year and a half, and now, he's ready to show it off to the world! Part Americana, part country, "Whiskey and Women" makes its official live debut with a CD Release Party on Saturday April 1 at the historic Roy's Hall in Blairstown.
"Don Kincaid and The Wait" have Texas in their heart. Kincaid, honed his songwriting craft in the Hill Country of Texas and at picking circles in the state's iconic town of Luckenbach. When it came time to create an album from his latest batch of songs, he traveled back to where his journey began, rural NW New Jersey. Kincaid gathered together a formidable group of musicians and friends. They wrote more songs together, recorded an album and formed a band (The Wait) to take the songs on the road and into the future.
"I wasn't a natural born singer, guitarist or songwriter," admits Kincaid, a tattoo artist by trade. "But I've worked hard at it."
Indeed, Kincaid's tunes offer solid lyrics, good melodies and some, he says, "will evoke smiles" as a few are tongue and cheek. "The bottom line is that everything I write and sing comes from some sort of life experience that I've had," added Kincaid, who has worked at First Place Tattoos in Hackettstown for several years.
The band's Americana Alt-Country style draws from their outlaw country heroes Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Merle Haggard, but with a modern edge the appeals to fans of current artists such as Jamey Johnson, Ryan Adams and Sturgell Simpson. The songs range from energetic country rock to touching story-telling ballads, with lyrics delivered in a baritone that would make Johnny proud.
Join in the celebration of the release of "Whiskey & Women" at Roy's Hall on Saturday April 1. Doors open at 7:30, showtime at 8. All seats $17.50 in advance / $22.50 day of show. Purchase advanced tickets at Roy's Hall, www.royshall.com, or directly at https://blairstownliveartsinc.thundertix.com/orders/new?performance_id=1753705.

Story highlights
For half of what it costs in Nigeria, you could get a brand new iPhone in Luanda.
Now is not the time to buy iPhone 5, 6 or 7 as the dollar to naira rate has only worsened and all of us Lagos Big Boys have had to make do with affordable (read cheap) smartphones.
No wonder a certain moviemaker went to a phone shop and 'accidentally' forgot nine brand new iPhones in his pocket.
But there is a solution: move to Angola!
The Technology Price Index, a report that compares the prices of gadgets around the world says that the oil rich southern African nation has the cheapest iPhones among the 72 countries analyzed: only $401 (N126,214).
Ironically, the country with the highest cost of the devices is Venezuela which in spite of its oil reserves, is going through the worst recession in its history and has made the item practically impossible to purchase- it retails there at $50,000. The average cost of an iPhone in the US is $625 (N196,718).
But here is the problem: the cost of airplane ticket to Angola is N400,000. Is it not better to kuku keep buy a London-used phone and be glowing with pride?

Carotid arteries - What are the treatment options?
Patient : I reecently had an ultra sound on my carotid arteries and calcium plaque build up was found on the left and right carotid arteries along the distal common,carotid bulb, and base of the internal carotid artery.since i am weeks away from my scheduled appointment with a specialist (hes on vacation)i was hoping to find out what kind of treatment options i could expect and if there were any treatments i could be doing in the meantime,such as an aspirin daily dosage to expedite my treatments?
Doctor : Carotid artery disease is caused by the build up of plaque inside the carotid arteries, also known as atherosclerosis. T he plaque consists of fat, cholesterol and inflammatory cells that are deposited on the walls of the arteries hardening them and decreasing the blood supply. Treatment of carotid artery disease depends on the extent the arteries are blocked. Initial management consists of life style modifications like : quitting smoking, controlling blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol levels, health diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol and salts, mild exercise and limited alcohol intake. More severe disease will require invasive procedures : These may be i) carotid endarterectomy and ii) angioplasty with stent placement. Your doctor may also recommend antiplatelet medication like aspirin and clopidogrel to decrease the risk of stroke due to blood clots. Severe cases may even require warfarin (a blood thinner).

Police: Driver rams police motorcycle during traffic stop, injuring officer
PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland police arrested a man who they said rammed an officer's motorcycle during a traffic stop, injuring the officer's knee.
Robert Joseph Gilliam III faces charges including assaulting an officer and reckless driving.
Police said a traffic officer noticed Gilliam's pickup speeding and running a red light in North Portland on Wednesday afternoon. The officer followed the truck on his motorcycle and pulled Gilliam over.
When the officer stopped his motorcycle behind the truck, police said Gilliam put the truck in reverse and accelerated toward the officer, hitting the motorcycle.
The officer was able to stay standing and hold Gilliam at gunpoint until more officers arrived and took him into custody. Police learned Gilliam had an outstanding parole violation warrant on an assault charge.
Officers took Gilliam to the Multnomah County Jail.
The traffic officer who stopped Gilliam, Officer Michael Close, suffered a minor knee injury during the crash, police said.

I-D: Problem statement, use cases and requirements
- WGLC closed last week, comments received to be discussed later this session
Individual Submissions:
Newly surfaced requirements by some regulators require the master devices to report back to the DB the channels selected for operation
The current charter does not capture this aspect
Chairs and ADs propose to make a minimal charter update to capture the reporting, which can be handled in parallel with ongoing work, so that it would not introduce delay to the ongoing work
Problem statement
<snif> ….
1. Determine the relevant white space database to query. 2. Connect to the database using a well-defined accesscommunication method3. Provide its geolocation and perhaps other data to the database using a well-defined format for querying the database. 4. Receive in return a list of currently available white space currently available , with their characteristicsusing a well-defined format for returning information.
5. Report back to the white space database use information, including the chosen channels for operation and other relevant informationOnce the device learns of the available white space (e.g., in a TV white space implementation, the list of available channels at that location), it can then select one of the bands from the list and begin to transmit and receive on the selected band. If the device's parameters have changed (e.g., if some amount of time has passed or if the device has changed location beyond a specified threshold), it might need to query the database again to determine what white space is still available. Objectives The overall goals of this working group are to: 1. Standardize a mechanism for discovering a white space database. 2. Standardize a method for accessing acommunicating with a white space database. 3. Standardize query and responsethe data formats to be carried over the database accessmethod communication protocol.
The chair provides regular updates to other SDOs about the status of the work in PAWS
