Wisconsin priest could be declared a saint
The La Crosse diocese is beginning a campaign to have a priest who served in central Wisconsin and South America for more than five decades declared a saint.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse kicked off its campaign for Father Joe Walijewski on Wednesday. If canonized, Walijewski would become the fourth saint born in the U.S. and the 11th from North America.
A panel of priests and lay people will investigate Walijewski's life, interviewing witnesses and collecting documents that will be sent to Rome for consideration.
The Stevens Point Journal reported Thursday that Walijewski founded an orphanage in Peru and parishes in Bolivia to help the poor. He also served in multiple central Wisconsin parishes.
Walijewski died in 2006 at the age of 82.

Our spring rendezvous has been scheduled one week earlier than usual in order to secure the building. Mark your calendars now for April 9 & 10 in Fort Stockton. Dealers are welcome and will be able to set up in doors at no charge. We secure the building each night. Individuals are encouraged to bring their unneeded supplies or other items to trade or sell. We intend, once again, to have our program approved by the Texas Department of Agriculture for CEU's, including laws and regulations, for pesticide applicators.
Make plans now to bring a youngster or two to the rendezvous as well as the entire family; everyone is welcome. The youth are the future of our organization. Bear in mind that the Association has standing policy disallowing live animals in the building and we will enforce that policy. Please be advised that we have new procedures regarding trapping tip submissions and prizes as well as display advertising; look for them in future issues of the Texas Fur Trails. A special thanks to Tom Fisher of Real Ecology for donating the KB Compound Predator Traps that will be awarded to the winners of the trap tips. The membership number in District 7 is very low and the board would like your thoughts on the possibility of merging this district into one or more surrounding districts. Contact me with your comments.
I realize how hard it is to interest or motivate people when fur prices are low and that is one reason to focus on nuisance animal work. Your Association has established a Nuisance Animal Control program for its members. The names and contact information of trappers willing to participate are provided to state agencies as well as individuals and companies looking for someone to help them out. We also post this list on our web site. I have personally received work from this program. Contact Ricky Cox at (512) 468-5112 if you have an interest. Members, don't forget to take advantage of free classified advertising in the Texas Fur Trails.
Dave Hastings still needs your stories, news, pictures and anything else of interest to keep the Texas Fur Trails first class. Material from all across the country is welcome. He is particularly looking for some Texas photos to be used for the covers of future issues of the magazine. We really need you to send in something for the magazine; some of us are pretty well tapped out on ideas and stories. I would really hate to see the quality of the magazine deteriorate, but this is likely to happen if the members don't help out. Everyone has at least one story of an event that took place during his or her lifetime. We can use stories from just about anywhere. Dave is willing to work with anything.
He will make sure that all submissions are professionally presented in the magazine. This really is a growing concern or I would not be begging for material If you have any reservations or concerns about sending in something, call Dave or call me and we will do our best to put you at ease. Those of you who have submitted material for the magazine are most appreciated; without your effort the Texas Fur Trails would not be the fine publication it has become. Share your thoughts with any board member regarding what you would like to see our Association accomplish. Many of the achievements we have made are results of membership input.
Texas Parks and Wildlife did not hold an expo in 2009 or 2010 due to low participation. Our Association has derived quite a bit of our operating income from this event. We now must look for other income sources to restore a sufficient income level. I have bobcat tags. For those of you who need your cats tagged, give me a call. I am no longer advocating that we collect skull samples for the health department as they continue to disregard our requests to provide relief on the coyote quarantine and appear to be working against trappers on at least one other matter.
If you are ready to help out with promoting and preserving trapper, let us know. We would like to put your unique talents to work for the benefit of all and future generations.
— Bill Applegate

plan (n.)
1670s as a technical term in perspective drawing; 1706 as "drawing, sketch, or diagram of any object," from French plan "ground plan, map," literally "plane surface" (mid-16c.), from Latin planum "level or flat surface," noun use of adjective planus "level, flat" (from PIE root *pele-(2) "flat; to spread"). The notion is of "a drawing on a flat surface." Meaning "scheme of action, design" is first recorded 1706, possibly influenced by French planter "to plant," from Italian planta "ground plan."

Story Highlights
Happy Summer Solstice! This seems like a great time to talk about solar power, since we are entering the peak season for solar power generation: generally mid-June to early September.
The energy generated from solar power varies by location, time of year, and cloud cover - we take a look at all three for your city in the graphic below.

Most of us have been in summer mode since Memorial Day, but the first official day of summer arrives on June 21 - the Summer Solstice. That's also the day when the sun is up the longest, so on average, you'd expect it to be the best day of the year to generate solar power. It's right up there, but not necessarily the best day because clouds play a role, too.
The graphic above shows how much solar power can be generated from the typical rooftop installation (in yellow) at different times of the year, while also showing the average cloud cover (in blue) during those same times for Albany. It's no surprise that the sun's high sun angle provides the best opportunity for solar power - but that's only if it's relatively sunny.

UBG Big Event Opt-In
International music sensations Nico & Vinz will perform in concert on Friday, April 24, at The District. General admission tickets are $25 plus service fee.
The Augustana Big Event planning committee works each year to bring a big-name musical artist to Augustana's campus. Past Big Event artists include: Ben Folds, O.A.R., Widespread Panic, Third Day, Raining Jane, Goo Goo Dolls, Sara Bareilles, Phillip Phillips, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and, most recently, Plain White T's and Parachute.
The successes of these events stem from the high attendance of both Augustana students and the Sioux Falls community. Big Event strives to uphold Augustana's mission of fostering community by connecting Augustana students with other students and community members in the greater Sioux Falls area.
Each year, students are selected to co-chair the Big Event committee, which is a branch of the Union Board of Governors (UBG). The co-chairs, along with sub-committee members, poll Augustana students for feedback regarding possible artists for Big Event. From the list, the committee makes offers to various artists and finds the best fit for Augustana.
The newly approved "Opt-In" plan for Big Event allowed the committee to consider a wider range of options for a Big Event performer by creating a larger initial budget. The annual Big Event budget comes from the student activities fee in addition to revenue gained from ticket sales at the previous year's event. The "Opt-In" allowed students to purchase a ticket for Big Event through the Augustana portal as an investment in this year's event. By opting-in, students guaranteed themselves a reduced price ticket at Big Event before the performer was announced. This year's price for an "Opt-In" ticket was $20.
The Big Event committee thanks those who supported this year's concert(s). Send any questions to email@example.com.

Fukushima Two Years Later: Many Questions, One Clear Answer
You can't say you have all the answers if you haven't asked all the questions. So, at a conference on the medical and ecological consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, held to commemorate the second anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan, there were lots of questions. Questions about what actually happened at Fukushima Daiichi in the first days after the quake, and how that differed from the official report; questions about what radionuclides were in the fallout and runoff, at what concentrations, and how far they have spread; and questions about what near- and long-term effects this disaster will have on people and the planet, and how we will measure and recognize those effects.
A distinguished list of epidemiologists, oncologists, nuclear engineers, former government officials, Fukushima survivors, anti-nuclear activists and public health advocates gathered at the invitation of The Helen Caldicott Foundation and Physicians for Social Responsibility to, if not answer all these question, at least make sure they got asked. Over two long days, it was clear there is much still to be learned, but it was equally clear that we already know that the downsides of nuclear power are real, and what's more, the risks are unnecessary. Relying on this dirty, dangerous and expensive technology is not mandatory–it's a choice. And when cleaner, safer, and more affordable options are available, the one answer we already have is that nuclear is a choice we should stop making and a risk we should stop taking.
"No one died from the accident at Fukushima." This refrain, as familiar as multiplication tables and sounding about as rote when recited by acolytes of atomic power, is a close mirror to versions used to downplay earlier nuclear disasters, like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (as well as many less infamous events), and is somehow meant to be the discussion-ender, the very bottom-line of the bottom-line analysis that is used to grade global energy options. "No one died" equals "safe" or, at least, "safer." Q.E.D.
But beyond the intentional blurring of the differences between an "accident" and the probable results of technical constraints and willful negligence, the argument (if this saw can be called such) cynically exploits the space between solid science and the simple sound bite.
"Do not confuse narrowly constructed research hypotheses with discussions of policy," warned Steve Wing, Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina's Gillings School of Public Health. Good research is an exploration of good data, but, Wing contrasted, "Energy generation is a public decision made by politicians."
Surprisingly unsurprising
A public decision, but not necessarily one made in the public interest. Energy policy could be informed by health and environmental studies, such as the ones discussed at the Fukushima symposium, but it is more likely the research is spun or ignored once policy is actually drafted by the politicians who, as Wing noted, often sport ties to the nuclear industry.
The link between politicians and the nuclear industry they are supposed to regulate came into clear focus in the wake of the March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami–in Japan and the United States.
The boiling water reactors (BWRs) that failed so catastrophically at Fukushima Daiichi were designed and sold by General Electric in the 1960s; the general contractor on the project was Ebasco, a US engineering company that, back then, was still tied to GE. General Electric had bet heavily on nuclear and worked hand-in-hand with the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC–the precursor to the NRC, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to promote civilian nuclear plants at home and abroad. According to nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen, GE told US regulators in 1965 that without quick approval of multiple BWR projects, the giant energy conglomerate would go out of business.
It was under the guidance of GE and Ebasco that the rocky bluffs where Daiichi would be built were actually trimmed by 10 meters to bring the power plant closer to the sea, the water source for the reactors' cooling systems–but it was under Japanese government supervision that serious and repeated warnings about the environmental and technological threats to Fukushima were ignored for another generation.
Failures at Daiichi were completely predictable, observed David Lochbaum, the director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, and numerous upgrades were recommended over the years by scientists and engineers. "The only surprising thing about Fukushima," said Lochbaum, "is that no steps were taken."
The surprise, it seems, should cross the Pacific. Twenty-two US plants mirror the design of Fukushima Daiichi, and many stand where they could be subject to earthquakes or tsunamis. Even without those seismic events, some US plants are still at risk of Fukushima-like catastrophic flooding. Prior to the start of the current Japanese crisis, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission learned that the Oconee Nuclear Plant in Seneca, South Carolina, was at risk of a major flood from a dam failure upstream. In the event of a dam breach–an event the NRC deems more likely than the odds that were given for the 2011 tsunami–the flood at Oconee would trigger failures at all four reactors. Beyond hiding its own report, the NRC has taken no action–not before Fukushima, not since.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) – Scott Stallings shot an 8-under 64 on Thursday at Del Monte to take a two-stroke lead over William McGirt and Kirk Triplett in the Pebble Beach Invitational.
Stallings, the True South Classic winner in July for his second PGA Tour title, made eight putts inside 10 feet in the unofficial event that features PGA, LPGA, Champions and Web.com tour players.
McGirt had a bogey-free 66 at Del Monte. Triplett had a 66 Pebble Beach to top the 11 Champions Tour entrants. He won the 50-and-over tour's First Tee Open at Pebble Beach in July.
Annika Sorenstam, the Hall of Famer who retired from the LPGA Tour in 2008 and is playing in the event for the second in three years, shot a 70 at Del Monte – the lowest score among the seven female entrants.

About Manfred Kuttner
Manfred Kuttner's neon patterns demonstrate his interest in exploring the process of painting itself, using nonrepresentational designs to break down the picture plane. His work is a painterly take on Op art: while seemingly rigid in formulation, Kuttner's paintings incorporate occasional drips of paint and visible brushstrokes and reject exacting symmetry. His lively visual rhythms led critics to call his work "kinetic" art when Kuttner established his reputation in early 1960s Dusseldorf, showing alongside prominent German artists and New Fauves Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke. Kuttner was only productive for three years, abandoning his practice at age 28.
German, 1937-2007

This quilt has taken a while to complete, the final design was intended to be a compilation of the previous three quilts. It also had to be a simpler version of Ad Parnassus Edinburg. I thought then that I had stripped away as much as possible, turns out things can always be simplified further.
Family bereavement left me unable to work on the quilt and once I returned home the design was reworked to add the window. The beginnings of the quilting were removed and a different quilting pattern more in line with the other three quilts was chosen. During the completion of the quilt we said goodbye to my 15 year old Border Collie hence the name.
The gold window reflects the sun"s light, also reminding me of the light in our loved ones eyes, here it will never go out but always shine
The quilt is faced and worked on commercial cotton with hand dyed fabric for the house, painted metallic fabric for the window and DMC embroidery thread for the sun.

Kobe Bryant barely shot the ball in the first half Friday night against the Charlotte Bobcats.
Almost no one else shot for the Los Angeles Lakers in the final seven minutes when the game was on the line.
Bryant shrugged off a scoreless first half — he attempted only two shots — to finish with 20 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as the Lakers defeated the Bobcats 100-93.
The formula — where Bryant facilitates early and scores late — is one that forward Antawn Jamison anticipates fans will see more of from the Lakers down the stretch this season.
"I think in the future that is how you're going to see us play with Kobe getting guys involved early on, seeing how it goes, and then as the game goes into the fourth quarter he begins to take over a little bit," Jamison said.
Bryant doesn't mind.
What he does mind is the way the Lakers played against the Bobcats, the NBA's worst team.
Bryant said he was "irritated" at the way the Lakers passed up good shots, committed turnovers and had to overcome a 20-point second half deficit to beat a team that's only won 11 games all season.
"We have to play the right way," Bryant said. "When we have shots available, we take them. If we don't, move the ball on. It can't be about individual touches. It can't be about that."
As for not shooting in the first half, Bryant said: "If we lose the game, everybody points the finger at me for not shooting the ball. And that's fine. As long as I'm confident that I make the right play to help as a team, that's the most important thing. We all need to follow that example and just play for each other."
The Lakers are 4-2 on their current seven-game road trip which wraps up Sunday in Miami.
At 24-27, they could use a win against the defending champions, but Jamison said the Lakers have to play better if they hope to be a playoff team.
"We can't play like we did early in the game tonight, which was not playing with energy, the turnovers, and giving our opponents easy opportunities in transition," Jamison said.
Still, the Lakers won.
Bryant didn't come out for warmups to start the second half. But he was there to provide the spark the lackluster Lakers needed in the third quarter. He scored 14 of his points in the final period, including a driving layup with 40 seconds left to push the lead to five and help seal the win.
"In the second half, I got in position where I could catch it and turn and shoot it a little bit," Bryant said. "They were reluctant to double team because we started knocking down some shots. I think that makes the game a lot easier."
Steve Nash and Earl Clark each had 17 points and Dwight Howard had 12 points, all in the first half, and 11 rebounds for the Lakers (24-27).
Howard played his second straight game despite nursing an injured right shoulder.
"Continuity," Howard said when asked of the Lakers offensive woes. "We have to do a better job of spreading everything out and moving and getting everybody involved. When we do that, we are pretty good."
Byron Mullens and Gerald Henderson each had 20 points for the Bobcats, who have lost six straight.
Charlotte led 71-51 in the third quarter, but the Lakers stormed back behind a 9-0 run. They cut the lead to one on a driving layup by Bryant with 6:06 left in the game and Jamison gave the Lakers their first lead with 4:46 remaining on a left-handed finger roll in the lane.
The Lakers took the lead for good at 92-91 when Jodie Meeks made a 3-pointer with 3:02 left in the game.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni wasn't pleased with the overall effort, but liked that his team bounced back after a 116-95 loss to the Boston Celtics the night before.
"We've just got to be able to put our earplugs in, or mufflers on, or blinders on," D'Antoni said. "It's like the Kentucky Derby with horses, just get those blinders on and just get out there and run.
"We have so much stuff going on out here that every little thing is blown to bits and whether it is right or wrong or blown out of proportion it is. But, it affects us. It is a distraction. It saps energy. We've got to be able to just close that out somehow."
The Lakers have been unpredictable this season, particularly on the road where they were 8-17 coming into this game.
Before Friday night's game against Charlotte, D'Antoni was asked if the Bobcats were a dangerous opponent for his team.
"We're playing, aren't we? (Then) there's a danger," D'Antoni said with a laugh. "If they play the national anthem, we're in danger."
He was right.
The Lakers started slow, looking out of sync just as they have for a good portion of the season as pick and rolls turned into turnovers and layups on the other end.
Nash had four early turnovers and Howard threw a pass across court that hit the side of the backboard.
The Lakers turned the ball over five times in the game's first eight minutes and fell behind 20-9.
Bryant missed his only two shots in the first half, his slowest start since March 31, 2012, when he went three quarters without scoring a point before beating the New Orleans Hornets on a game-winning shot.
The game was similar to earlier this season when the Bobcats led by 18 in Los Angeles only to squander the lead.
"We had them down pretty much the whole game," Bobcats guard Kemba Walker said. "You know, they made a really good run. Kobe made a lot of good plays, made the right passes and guys just made shots."
NOTES: Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist returned Friday after missing two games with a concussion. ... At halftime, Bryant had five rebounds, two assists and no points. ... The Bobcats had been one of three teams with a .500 or better record all-time against the Lakers, but fell to 8-9 with Friday night's loss.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, September 18, 1906:
The controlling interest in the Enterprise Transportation Company, whose steamers have been stopping here on their way between Fall River and New York since the first of May, has been acquired by the Dupont Powder Company of Wilmington, Del., and speculations are rife as to the real interest behind the sale.
From the Newport Daily News, September 19, 1906:
One of the handsomest shipments of potatoes from here this season was taken across the ferry yesterday by Mr. Joseph Peckham of Middletown. They were raised on the Wharton farm at Beavertail.
From the Newport Daily News, September 22, 1906:
The extension to Bay View drive from its northerly point to Potter's Point and thence northwesterly to join the East Main road, is nearly complete.

July 1, 2013 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Missouri Breastfeeding Month
SUBJECT 2: National 2014 WIC Calendars
SUBJECT 3: New WIC Food List (English version
SUBJECT 4: Elevated Blood Lead Levels
SUBJECT 5: New Ethics Requirement for RD and DTR Recertification
SUBJECT 6: Public Comment Invited on 2014 WIC State Plan
Missouri Breastfeeding Month: August 1-7 is designated each year as World Breastfeeding Week by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) and the entire month of August is designated Missouri Breastfeeding Month. The theme for this year is "Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers". The objective is to draw attention to the importance of peer support in helping mothers to establish and sustain breastfeeding.
A new 8 x 10 poster has been developed to promote peer counseling services, which is available at the MO DHSS warehouse (see attached sample). The Breastfeeding Peer Counseling brochure is also still available. The poster is catalog #473 and the brochure is #157 and can be ordered at http://health.mo.gov/warehouse/e-l-wicns.html. The brochure is also available in several languages at http://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/wiclwp/bfpc.php.
For additional ideas for Missouri Breastfeeding Month, please see the attached suggested promotion activities list. One of the suggestions is to host a "Big Latch On" event, in which many communities have participated in the past. Please consider hosting or participating in this nationwide event. More information is available at www.biglatchon.org. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft by email at email@example.com or by phone at 573-526-4792. (TWO ATTACHMENTS)
National 2014 WIC Calendars: The State WIC office plans to purchase the 2014 National WIC Association calendars. The order survey will be sent to local WIC coordinators on July 2, 2013. It is very important for your agency to complete the survey by July 9, 2013 in order to receive the 2014 calendars. For more information about the 2014 calendars, please visit the website below:
http://nwaonlinestore.promoshop.com/featuredproduct/index.aspx?DPSV_Id=62998. If you have questions and/or suggestions, please feel free to contact Takako Tagami at email@example.com.
New WIC Food List (English version): The Warehouse shipped the Missouri Approved Food List (Effective October 1, 2013 - September 30, 2015) to local WIC providers on June 27, 2013. Spanish version of the new food list will be shipped to local WIC providers by July 15, 2013. If you have questions and/or suggestions, please feel free to contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Elevated Blood Lead Levels: When a local WIC provider obtains or receives referral data of an elevated blood lead level of ≥ 10 mcg/dl, the abnormal blood lead level must be entered into MOWINS for Risk Factor 211 to be automatically assigned. For lead values that contain a decimal, enter into MOWINS as a whole number, dropping the decimal. For instance, enter 9.9 as 9, enter 10.5 as 10. According to the State Health Lab, the lead test is not sensitive enough to accurately report decimal values.
The elevated lead level result must be within 12 months of the date of certification or recertification. Certifying staff will assign a food package and provide appropriate referral information to the participant. CPAs and nutritionists will provide guidance on how to reduce exposure to lead through appropriate counseling. Missouri Annual Childhood Lead Testing Area Requirements, updated in April 2013, are located on the web at http://health.mo.gov/living/environment/lead/pdf/StatewideMap.pdf. If you have questions, please contact your District TA Nutritionist.
New Ethics Requirement for RD and DTR Recertification: On May 9, 2011, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) voted to require that RDs and DTRs complete a minimum of 1 CPEU in Ethics (Learning Need Code 1050) during each 5-year recertification cycle. This requirement is in effect starting with the 5-year recertification cycle which began June 1, 2012 and ends on May 31, 2017. The CDR notification is found at the following link: http://cdrnet.org/news/ethics-requirements-for-recertification. If you have questions, please contact your District TA Nutritionist.

Bin Laden son-in-law pleads not guilty to terrorism charge
By MICHAEL MUSKAL and TINA SUSMAN
Los Angeles Times
NEW YORK - Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden and a spokesman for al-Qaida, appeared in federal court in New York on Friday morning and entered a plea of not guilty to a charge that he conspired to kill Americans.
Hands shackled behind his back and wearing dark blue prison togs, Abu Ghaith was arraigned before U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in New York. If convicted, the Kuwaiti-born man who is accused by U.S. authorities of being part of the terror group's inner circle, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole.
The prosecution of Abu Ghaith will be the first trial of such a senior al-Qaida figure on U.S. soil. Human rights activists and the Obama administration have argued that senior al-Qaida suspects should be tried in civilian courts rather than before military tribunals at the U.S. facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Republicans have opposed conducting terrorism trials in civilian courts in the United States, citing both security concerns and the need to use military justice protocols rather than civilian legal protections.
Abu Ghaith, 47, originally was captured by Turkish authorities and was taken into U.S. custody in Jordan as officials were returning him to Kuwait. The U.S. government released his indictment on Thursday.
In court, prosecutor John P. Cronan said Abu Ghaith made an "extensive post-arrest statement" that totaled 22 pages. Cronan gave no details about what Abu Ghaith said, according to media reports from the courtroom.
Defense attorney Philip Weinstein said attorneys met with their client "several times before this proceeding."
Republican senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire say the Obama administration is wrong to bring Abu Ghaith to court in New York. They described the action as "sneaky" and against the will of Congress.
Graham says Sulaiman Abu Ghaith is clearly an enemy combatant and should have been sent straight to the Guantanamo Bay detainee facility in Cuba for extended questioning.
Graham and Ayotte said at hastily arranged news conference Thursday that they worry that the administration's decision to have Abu Ghaith appear in a federal court in New York will establish a precedent. Ayotte says suspects like Abu Ghaith do not deserve the protections of U.S. courts.
Friday morning's court action lasted no more than 15 minutes. Bail was not requested. A trial date will be set at the next conference meeting on April 8.
According to the prosecution, Abu Ghaith was the spokesman for al-Qaida, working with his father-in-law and with Ayman al-Zawahri, the current head of the terrorist group, since at least May 2001. Abu Ghaith is a preacher and teacher.
The day after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, prosecutors say, he appeared with bin Laden and al-Zawahri and called on Muslims to battle Jews, Christians and Americans. A "great army is gathering against you," Abu Ghaith said on Sept. 12, 2001, according to prosecutors.
Obama pledged shortly after taking office in 2009 that that foreign terrorists would be charged in American federal courts, in part, to close Guantanamo Bay. The facility remains open.
In 2010, the Obama administration abandoned plans to bring five men charged with plotting the Sept. 11 attacks _ including the accused mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed _ to trial in the same courthouse in Lower Manhattan where Abu Ghaith appeared on Friday. The courthouse is just blocks from the site of the World Trade Center, destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack.
That trial was dropped after some New York officials, who originally had agreed to the proceeding, changed their minds, citing security issues. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the Abu Ghaith trial would not present a problem.
"It's the federal government's choice," Bloomberg said during his weekly radio interview, when asked about the issue of trying high-profile terrorism defendants in civilian courts. Bloomberg dismissed arguments that such defendants create security concerns that put undue weight on local law enforcement.
"If you are in federal court here in New York, you go from the holding pen to the courtroom underground," he said, rejecting the idea that the trial would be hugely disruptive. Ultimately, though, he said it was up to President Barack Obama and the attorney general to decide where Abu Ghaith would be tried.
Former New York Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches, whose son, Jim, was a police officer who died on 9/11, said he agreed with Bloomberg that the trial being held in New York would not create disruptions or undue security risks. Most important, he said, federal courts have a track record of moving faster than military courts when dealing with high-profile terrorism defendants, and that is something he said families of victims need and deserve.
"The families haven't had any justice for years," he said, accusing politicians who oppose trials in civilian courts of interfering. "It's wrong. They should try them here. We were promised justice. It's been anything but. It's just been a political fight."
Three terrorism defendants, who were extradited from Britain in October, are also facing trial in Manhattan.
Plans to try Abu Ghaith have drawn criticism from Republicans.
"We should treat enemy combatants like the enemy _ the U.S. court system is not the appropriate venue. The president needs to send any captured al-Qaida members to Guantanamo," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Select Intelligence Committee, said in a prepared statement.
Human rights activists strongly disagreed. "Our nation's track record of successfully prosecuting alleged terrorists in federal court is second to none," said Raha Wala, a lawyer at Human Rights First.

Jonathan Littell's novel The Kindly Ones took France by storm in the fall of 2006, when it won the Prix Goncourt–the nation's most prestigious literary prize–and sold many hundreds of thousands of copies. Commercial success fed the heat of scandal, which followed the book to Germany in 2008, vaulting it to the top of the bestseller list. The furor revolved around nothing less than the governing conceit of Littell's thousand-page roman-fleuve: the novel pretends to be the memoir of a Nazi SS officer who witnessed the different stages of the Holocaust as it was being perpetrated. The dispute over the book was another round in the cycle of Holocaust controversies that have marked time since the end of World War II with the regularity of a metronome. Tempestuous quarrels may have raised public consciousness about the Holocaust; but even so, subsequent battles over its representation can feel no less unseemly. "Silence over the murder, scandal over the books," George Steiner worried in response to one of the first such imbroglios, forty years before Littell's intentionally sickening but unquestionably brilliant success.
Born in 1967, Jonathan Littell is an American, the son of Robert Littell, himself the author of a series of espionage thrillers (his latest, The Stalin Epigram, will be published in May). Apart from his time as an undergraduate at Yale, Littell fils has lived as an expatriate in Western Europe. Though The Kindly Ones was labeled his "first literary work," he had tried his hand after college at his own brand of potboiler, one based on cyberpunk instead of cold war intrigue. But unlike his father, Littell writes in French, and in The Kindly Ones he uses an impeccable literary style that–despite a few purists who feigned offense at one or two anglicismes, not to mention the whole idea of an American scaling the pinnacle of French literature–has garnered deserved praise. After finishing college, Littell chose a career with the NGO Action Against Hunger. It was his humanitarian work in the killing fields of Bosnia and Chechnya during the 1990s, he explained in interviews following the publication of The Kindly Ones, that led him to quit his job and turn to literature. He focused on the Nazis as the archetype of modern evil and plunged into years of research on their deeds.
The device of the Nazi narrator is not unprecedented: John Hawkes's The Cannibal (1949) was among the first novels in English to use it, and the various attempts in French include a prior winner of the Prix Goncourt, Michel Tournier's The Ogre (1970). But in Littell's hands, it is used in a new and inflationary way, allowing the novel to track the stages and sites of the genocide of the Jews from beginning to end, and with a degree of detail that lends authority to the tale. Maximilien Aue, Littell's protagonist, is present in the Einsatzgruppen, the mobile killing units that began the ethnic cleansing of the East behind the lines of the Wehrmacht's invasion of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941. A year and a half later, after a brief and eventful interlude in Stalingrad, Aue fetches up in Berlin, where as a functionary on Heinrich Himmler's staff he visits Auschwitz and the Operation Reinhard death camps, which become the factories of the "final solution" when the primitive methods of shooting Jews are supplanted by the technically evolved elimination through gassing and cremation. In 1943 Aue hears Himmler's chilling Posen speech, in which the Reichsführer-SS speaks of the Holocaust's glory in an almost public setting; and in 1944 he travels to Hungary, to be present while Adolf Eichmann condemns the nation's Jews to a massive paroxysm of death. Toward the end of the novel, Aue follows the death marches in the winter of 1945, the catastrophic months of the regime's collapse. And in the book's closing pages, he encounters Adolf Hitler in his bunker. Aue is a Nazi Zelig.

Known for its over-the-top style of gameplay, The BIGS 2 focuses on the "big" fast-paced moments in Major League Baseball with new opportunities to go up against MLB legends, more mini-games like Home Run Pinball, and a variety of other thrilling new features.
Whatever your opinion of MLB 2K9 or MLB 09: The Show, you probably realize they're not exactly games you throw in to liven up a party. That is, unless your party consists of two or fewer people or you have extremely patient friends.

For baseball fans whose idea of "fun" slants more toward sprinting than running a marathon, The Bigs 2 brings fast-paced action and plenty of mini-games to the diamond. The combination may be enough to keep your party rolling between Rock Band 2 sets without totally bastardizing America's pastime. Read More »

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday it is investigating Greek yogurt maker Chobani's handling of a mold problem with its product after the company asked some retailers last week to remove yogurt cups from store shelves.
Consumers had complained to Chobani over social media about off-tasting yogurt with bloated containers. Some reported gastrointestinal distress; others deplored the characteristically thick Greek yogurt's "runny" consistency.
The company did not issue a recall notice over the problem, the FDA told Reuters, but instead the company contacted stores directly.
Chobani did not provide a response after multiple emails and calls for comment and its website was down on Wednesday evening, making it impossible to access prior statements on the subject.
On Tuesday, Chobani told Food Navigator, an industry publication, that it had "investigated the cause of the (swelling/bloating) and have identified a type of mold commonly found in the dairy environment."
The private company said the problem had affected less than 5 percent of its production and was limited to yogurt cups produced at Chobani's Idaho plant. The company also has a plant in New York and one in Australia.
Also on Tuesday, Chobani said in a Facebook comment that cups with the code 16-012 and expiration dates between 9/11/2013 and 10/7/2013 would be replaced.
On Friday, it posted on its Facebook page that it was "in the process of voluntarily removing and replacing some products from store shelves that did not meet our rigid quality standards."
Chobani's handling of its yogurt recall is unusual, according to Tamara Ward, a spokeswoman for the FDA.
Ward said the FDA is in discussions with the company to assess the nature of the problem, the level of risk to the public, whether the issue has been contained, and whether Chobani is doing enough to communicate any risk to the public.
So far the company has not issued a formal recall notice since it does not believe there is a safety risk, Ward said, though the product appears to be going bad early.
Ward said that the FDA "would expect" to be told of any potential safety risk with a product. The agency does not plan itself to issue a recall but is currently examining the company's communications and would oversee any recall notice issued by Chobani.
Euromonitor, a sales tracking firm, ranks Chobani, a private company, second-best selling brand in the U.S. Greek-style yogurt market, after Yoplait.
Greek-style yogurt, which is thicker, creamier and often higher in protein that other types of yogurt, now makes up more than 40 percent of the U.S. yogurt market, Reuters has reported.

Confederate is readying its next iteration of its Hellcat series, posting these CAD renderings of the Confederate C3 X132 Hellcat on its website. Originally set to debut on Halloween of this year, Confederate has pushed back the launch date to the second quarter of 2011. For a bike that seemingly only exists on a computer screen, Confederate is being rather cheeky with its tech specs, simply stating that the new Hellcat will have 145 lbs•ft of torque, while listing the horsepower as "sufficient".
After creating the F131 Hellcat, B120 Wraith, and P120 Fighter Combat, Confederate Motor Company announced at the New York International Auto Show its fourth motorcycle: the C3 X132 Hellcat. Built in conjunction with S&S Cycle (better known for its S&S motors), the new Hellcat is being touted as "the lightest, fastest, toughest, smoothest, most exquisite Hellcat, ever", which isn't as lofty of a statement as you'd think considering there's really only two other motorcycled to compare the new Hellcat to: the two older Hellcats.

Monitoring the Freshwater Flow into the Atlantic through Hudson Strait
OCCI Funded Project: 2004
Freshwater reaches the North Atlantic through three major pathways (Figure 1): Fram Strait (between the Arctic Ocean and the Nordic Seas - between Iceland and Greenland), Davis Strait (between the Arctic Ocean and the Labrador Sea - between Greenland and northeastern Canada) and Hudson Strait (between the Hudson Bay drainage basin and the Labrador Sea).
As bottlenecks focusing the flow, these straits are ideal locations for measuring freshwater flux into the North Atlantic. On the other hand, the convergence of sea-ice and icebergs through these tight passages poses a serious challenge to year-round monitoring and measurement operations. Until recently, observations were limited to the deeper part of the flow to avoid instrument contact with ice and resulting equipment damage. Since freshwater is lighter than seawater, the freshwater tends to float above the seawater. Hence, measurements that extend all the way to the surface (or ice) are absolutely necessary for freshwater monitoring.
year, several WHOI engineers developed an instrument to solve the
difficulties described above. This instrument, the Arctic Winch
(Figure 2), consists of a profiler attached to a winch. The winch
can be mounted on the top of a mooring, several tens of meters below
the sea-surface; and, hence, beneath the reach of sea-ice and most
icebergs. Once a day the winch allows the profiler to rise to the
surface, recording temperature and salinity on the way. The winch
then rapidly pulls the profiler back down.
undefinedundefinedUsing this new technology, we implemented a project to measure the freshwater flux through Hudson Strait, a region not yet monitored by the widespread international effort to quantify the freshwater flowing into the North Atlantic. The first phase of this project was concluded in August 2004 with the deployment of three moorings in Hudson Strait from the Canadian Coastguard icebreaker, the Pierre Radisson (Figure 4). The deployment was successful, and the WHOI mooring (containing the Arctic winch as well as instruments to measure current velocity, ice-thickness, temperature and salinity) was complemented by two other moorings provided by Canadian colleagues. The Canadian moorings will be instrumental in mapping the horizontal extent of the structures observed. All of the moorings will be in the water for one year and will be retrieved in August/September 2005. This is the first attempt ever made to measure the freshwater flow (both in liquid and solid form) through Hudson Strait.

The 2006 Central Coast Cotton Conference will bring one of the world's most esteemed cotton specialists back to the Golden State for a rare speaking engagement. Tom Kerby, formerly a long-time University of California cotton specialist will head up a roster of talented speakers for this year's special session. "Strategies for Success: Integrated farming practices that keep cotton in the mix" is the focus of this year's meeting which will be held at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa in Monterey from Nov. 15-17.
Today's California cotton growers are finding that they must use alternative farming methods to remain viable. Conference director, Lowell Zelinski said that integrated farming practices is more of a "systems approach" and can be the key to staying in business.
"Cotton growers are growing more types of crops than ever before," Zelinski said. "This not only reduces the number of cotton acres but also creates special management challenges in machinery management, irrigation, pest control and crop rotation."
Zelinski said attending this year's meeting should be a priority for growers and pest control advisors. The speakers will explore a variety of practical, innovative techniques such as research in reduced tillage. This topic, which will be presented by Jeff Mitchell, a cropping systems specialist with the University of California Cooperative Extensive Service shows how to eliminate tillage operations which reduce the amount of time, labor and equipment needed. Other topics will include drip irrigation, innovative weed management practices and sustainability.
"This is a great opportunity to find out what your neighbor is doing, as well as what's going on around the world," Zelinski added.
Tom Kerby, vice president of technical services for Scott, Miss-based Delta & Pine Land Company has spent the last 11 years traveling the globe. He will draw upon his wealth of worldly experiences to show how California producers can benefit from new and innovative techniques.
"Kerby's vast experience and familiarity with California cotton production gives him a unique ability to relate his experiences from around the world to California," Zelinski said. "Kerby has been instrumental in the development of cultural practices associated with Round-Up Ready cotton, which has brought great changes to weed management."
Kevin Lehar, a grower and agronomist for Woolf Farming will talk about his innovative use of drip irrigation for the production of cotton, tomatoes and other crops. Using this integrated farming practice, growers can get more value from their drip system as well as potentially improved yields and reduced water use.
Another topic that will be explored at the 2006 conference is "sustainability." Though not a popular concept in the cotton industry, according to Roy Cantrell, director of research for Cotton Incorporated, it's an issue that growers and PCAs should "not be afraid of."
Cantrell and Cotton Incorporated have recently developed a sustainability campaign to combat the myths and negative media attention brought down upon the cotton industry. Cantrell believes one of the best ways the industry can defeat the impacts of the negative bias is through knowledge. He said integrating sustainability into cotton farming operations will allow "cotton to be truly recognized as a natural, biodegradable, and renewal fiber compared to synthetic man-made fibers." Cantrell will discuss ways growers can and already benefit from sustainability in monetary terms, as well as ease of operation and time savings.
Bob Hutmacher and Pete Goodell, both specialists with the University of California Cooperative Extension Service will head-up the conference's first university research session. Researchers will present findings from recent research on topics including relationships between soil potassium levels and nitrogen fertilization, factors impacting root growth and development, and Pima plant mapping experiences. Goodell will discuss updates on pest management research with a focus on lygus feeding and interactions and lead a session on diseases and nematodes.
The conference, now in its fourth year is a continuing education course for pest control advisors, consultants and growers. Attendees can early up to 8.5 continuing education units. There is also a golf tournament and trade show. The pre-registration deadline is Oct. 31 and the hotel cut-off date is Oct. 25. For complete details about the meeting or to register, visit www.cottonconference.com or call (888) 238-6658.

One Direction's Liam Payne Is Definitely Not Engaged
All of you One Direction fans can breath and joint sigh of relief. Your man Liam Payne is 100% not engaged to his girlfriend! All of you can now go back to planning on how you're going to make him yours when you see him in concert next. Don't worry, we used to do the same thing back when Nick Carter was still hot.
It all started with the Instagram account OfficialPayne1993. The account posted steamy pictures of Payne, 18, and his lady Danielle Peazer, 24, but it was an announcement that said he and Peazer would be moving in together that caused a bunch of girls to freak out.
Lo and behold, it was a sham. "This is a fake account and the rumors are completely false," said Payne's rep to MTV News. "They are not engaged or moving in together."
Hey, questionable news is always good publicity, right? The band is already at work on their second album and a single from that album could be released as early as the fall. But at least you One Directioners can relax over the fact that he's not engaged.

D. James Kennedy, the megachurch pastor and religious broadcaster, died on September 5, 2007, at the age of 76 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, according to the Washington Post's obituary (September 5, 2007). Born in 1930 in Augusta, Georgia, and reared mainly in Chicago, he was managing a dancing school in Tampa when he experienced a religious conversion, leading him to earn a divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia.
After receiving criticism for describing Answers in Genesis's recently opened Creation Museum in northern Kentucky as aiming to "counter evolutionary natural history museums that turn countless minds against Christ and Scripture," the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau quietly revised its website, as the Cincinnati Enquirer reports [Link broken] (September 1, 2007).
Answers in Genesis's Creation Museum continues to spark controversy. Noting that the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau's website describes [Link broken] the museum as aiming to "counter evolutionary natural history museums that turn countless minds against Christ and Scripture," Daniel Phelps, the president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society, protested the inflammatory description. His protests were ignored by the agency until the story was broken in the media.

The Eclipse Awards had Jeannine Edwards hosting it, but making the all-too-often-used diatribe about her electric eyes and punchy delivery seems so, live-bloggish. That was so one paragraph ago.
The Eclipse Awards feel more stuffed than a turkey, but its purpose must be to celebrate the year that was this way we can take a sledge hammer to the walls, tear down the framework, dig up the foundation, laugh about that time you saw your friend count his gambling winnings (1 minute in), laugh at your other friend who still can't get over losing a 2008 Pick 4 when Intangaroo nosed Hystericalady; then pour a new foundation, erect another framework, drill up some drywall because you remember that one time you worked with drywall, and do some other things. Put your feet up. You can't rise up until you've hit rock bottom. So to the bottom we must flee, but in recalling 2011, you realize you're already there. How was it that Animal Kingdom still had a shot at Champion Three-Year-Old male? And then won it. Heck, I think I'd have voted for him too. Ten furlongs never go out of style.
You start to recall the names of horses from earlier in the year: Mucho Macho Man. Twinspired. Brilliant Speed. Toby's Corner. Sway Away. Comma to the Top. Archarcharch. Twice the Appeal. Soldat.
You remember Havre de Grace battling—but eventually losing to—Blind Luck in the Delaware Handicap and you nearly let loose your bladder, down the leg, soaking your highwaters; you get the brilliant idea to write a book about her called, "Six Weeks in Saratoga: How Four-Year-Old Filly Havre de Grace Beat the Boys and Became Horse of the Year," there's still time, so you need to pull for this because three females winning Horse of the Year in a row isn't the kind of threesome you dreamed about but it will do. In fact, they make you think of the great Triangle offense where you'd put Zenyatta in the post, Havre de Grace at forward, and Rachel Alexandra the guard in the corner. Let Chuck Klosterman tell you about it.
But Havre de Grace snatched 166 votes and there wasn't much suspense abound (Acclamation finished second with 26 votes). Let's take a look at her curriculum vitae for 2011:
5 for 7
Grade 3 Azeri
Grade 1 Apple Blossom
Grade 3 Obeah Stakes
Grade 1 Woodward Stakes
Grade 1 Beldame Invitational
Her two losses came in the Grade 1 Delaware Handicap to Blind Luck and a game-loss in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Not to mention that she redeemed trainer Larry Jones and finally let this man put to bed the ghost of Eight Belles. A big, heavy ghost.
Havre de Grace had the best year, start to finish, and that's what an award as lofty as Horse of the Year represents. Many of the other awards default to a winner of a certain race (Hansen) or, strangely, in the case of this year's three year olds (Animal Kingdom). Her season ends with a period, not an exclamation point (perhaps a question mark?), and maybe that's why it's been so hard to pick the ultimate winner.
Looking at the winners of Eclipse Awards we know that Hansen, My Miss Aurelia, Havre de Grace, Animal Kingdom, and Royal Delta will all be back, among others. So 2012 is looking up already.
Brendan O'Meara is the author of Six Weeks in Saratoga.

Source: http://www.xatrix.org/article2599.htmlLate Friday, January 24, 2003 we became aware of a new SQL worm spreading quickly across various networks around the world.
Release Date: 1/25/03
Severity: High
Systems Affected: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 pre SP 2
Late Friday, January 24, 2003 we became aware of a new SQL worm spreading quickly across various networks around the world.
The worm is spreading using a buffer overflow to exploit a flaw in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The SQL 2000 server flaw was discovered in July, 2002 by Next Generation Security Software Ltd. The buffer overflow exists because of the way SQL improperly handles data sent to its Microsoft SQL Monitor port. Attackers leveraging this vulnerability will be executing their code as SYSTEM, since Microsoft SQL Server 2000 runs with SYSTEM privileges.
The worm works by generating pseudo-random IP addresses to try to infect with its payload. The worm payload does not contain any additional malicious content (in the form of backdoors etc.); however, because of the nature of the worm and the speed at which it attempts to re-infect systems, it can potentially create a denial-of-service attack against infected networks.
We have been able to verify that multiple points of connectivity on the Internet have been bogged down since 9pm Pacific Standard Time.
It should be noted that this worm is not the same as an earlier SQL worm that used the SA/nopassword SQL vulnerability as its spread vector. This is a new worm is more devastating as it is taking advantage of a software-specific flaw rather than a configuration error. We have already had many reports of smaller networks brought down due to the flood of data from the Sapphire Worm trying to re-infect new systems.
Corrective Action:
We recommend that people immediately firewall SQL service ports at all of their gateways. The worm uses only UDP port 1434 (SQL Monitor Port) to spread itself to a new system; however, it is safe practice to filter all SQL traffic at all gateways. The following is a list of SQL server ports:
ms-sql-s 1433/tcp #Microsoft-SQL-Server
ms-sql-s 1433/udp #Microsoft-SQL-Server
ms-sql-m 1434/tcp #Microsoft-SQL-Monitor
ms-sql-m 1434/udp #Microsoft-SQL-Monitor
Once again this worm is taking advantage of a known vulnerability that has had a patch available for many months. Microsoft has also released a recent service pack for SQL (Service Pack 3) that includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Standalone patch:
SQL 2000 Service Pack 3:
Previous SQL Service Pack versions are vulnerable.
Technical Description
The following is a quick run-down of what the worm's payload is doing after infection:
1. Retrieves the address of GetProcAddress and Loadlibrary from the IAT in sqlsort.dll. It snags the necessary library base addresses and function entry points as needed.
2. Calls gettickcount, and uses returned count as a pseudo-random seed
3. Creates a UDP socket
4. Performs a simple pseudo random number generation formula using the returned gettickcount value to generate an IP Address that will later be used as the target.
5. Send worm payload in a SQL Server Resolution Service request to the pseudo random target address, on port 1434 (UDP).

We have provided brief information here as we are currently working to understand more of the worm's internal behavior. We will provide updates as they become available.
This worm has been dubbed the "Sapphire Worm" by eEye due to the fact that several engineers had to be pulled away from local bars to begin the investigation/dissection process.

This is a lesson about spacecraft design. Learners will use the information learned in previous lessons, combined with their own creativity and problem-solving skills, to design and test a parachuting probe that will withstand a fall from a high... (View More) point, land intact, be able to descend slowly, float in liquid, and cost the least to launch into space. Extensions provide an option if the teacher has limited time, and invite the students to simulate other experiments that will be carried out by the Huygens probe. This is lesson 9 of 12 in the Mission to Saturn Educators Guide, Reading Writing Rings, for grades 3-4. (View Less)

Shoebox Satellite: Heroically Engineer a Spacecraft that will Enable Ice and Eggs to Travel Safely in Space
In this activity, learners will build a structure using a shoebox, aluminum foil, paper, rubber bands, glue, tape, and other common materials that will meet the following criteria when tested: 1) protect an ice cube from melting under a hot lamp or... (View More) direct sunlight; 2) protect an egg from fracture when dropped from a height of ten feet; and 3) cost as little as possible. These tasks relate to the overarching concepts of space as a hostile environment, engineering that is needed to build and launch astronomical instruments, and testing of spacecraft and instrument models. This activity is from the Touch the Sun educator guide. (View Less)
