A bipartisan group of lawmakers wants the Federal Communications Commission to salvage LightSquared's seemingly doomed plan to build a 4G LTE network by letting the company trade its spectrum for more suitable airwaves controlled by the Department of Defense.
"We ask the FCC to conduct a thorough and thoughtful review of all available spectrum controlled by the Department of Defense (DoD) that could be repurposed or reallocated to meet increased demand," the lawmakers said in a letter sent Tuesday to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, and reported by the IDG News Service last night. "We also request that the FCC move swiftly to identify other options, including the use of alternate spectrum, for LightSquared's proposed nationwide 4G LTE wireless broadband network.... A spectrum swap is the most resourceful and efficient way to quickly expand broadband access nationwide."
LightSquared filed for bankruptcy protection last month after the FCC halted its plan to build a nationwide cellular network on spectrum that is adjacent to airwaves used by GPS devices. The powerful signals from LightSquared towers would overwhelm the signals GPS devices must receive to provide location services, making the network infeasible, the FCC concluded.
The letter from lawmakers shows that even LightSquared supporters have given up on the company's original plan. The letter was sent by US House Appropriations Committee members, including Reps. Jim Moran (D-VA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Steve Rothman (D-NJ), Rodney Alexander (R-LA), and Ander Crenshaw (R-FL). LightSquared is on a tight leash from lenders, who are owed $1.7 billion, according to a NASDAQ article.
While LightSquared's prospects are dim, more spectrum for cellular service is hopefully on the way, as the FCC is trying to free up an additional 500MHz of spectrum for mobile providers over the next decade.

Romney campaign wins award for Political Lie of the Year
Pat Cunningham
The envelope, please.
Hmmm. No big surprise HERE:
It was a lie told in the critical state of Ohio in the final days of a close campaign — that Jeep was moving its U.S. production to China. It originated with a conservative blogger, who twisted an accurate news story into a falsehood. Then it picked up steam when the Drudge Report ran with it. Even though Jeep's parent company gave a quick and clear denial, Mitt Romney repeated it and his campaign turned it into a TV ad.
And they stood by the claim, even as the media ...

I apologized politely to him and told him that I was nauseous due to his BO. That I will call flight attendant to move to another seat. I did so but none were available. Halfway through the flight he opens up a tupperware. It had some kind of fish curry. The smell coupled with his BO did me in. B'fore I could get up I started throwing up all over including into his curry. I was sick. The doctor on the flight helped me move to the toilet. Thank you. I was later told that guy from India kept on eating his curry and licking his fingers in sheer joyful ecstasy. More power to him. I have landed at Mali Aerodrome and am still sick from the odor.
Moral of the story is that Hindus from India stink like s hit bcoz of bad BO. Never be near them.

Provision: For Ministry
God has promised to provide every need for those who trust and serve Him, but ministers often carry a heavy burden trying to provide for themselves and their families.
Ask God to stir the hearts of His people to give freely, and let His promises ignite your faith to call down His abundant provision for those who sacrifice so much in ministering to others.
2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Father, as

Lord, You are a lavishly generous God. I ask that You would surprise

today with Your generosity. Pour out a blessing on him Lord that he cannot contain. Over flow his cup, so that every ministry need is met with plenty left over to share with others.

text: MIAMI (AP) -- The NBA plans to make San Antonio pay for resting four starters. The Miami Heat almost could not. Ray Allen's 3-pointer with 22.6 seconds left gave Miami the lead, LeBron James finished with 23 points and the Heat rallied late to beat the Spurs 105-100 on Thursday night -- digging deep despite San Antonio's decision to have four top players resting at home in a move that bothered NBA Commissioner David Stern. The Spurs played without Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green, all sent back to San Antonio by coach Gregg Popovich, who said the move was in his team's best interest. Stern disagreed, calling the decision "unacceptable," apologizing to fans and saying that sanctions against the Spurs will be forthcoming. After the game, Popovich said he was unaware of Stern's statement and declined comment about what it might mean. "Oh, it would have been great if we won," Spurs forward Matt Bonner said after hearing about Stern's statement. "It goes back to what I was saying, I'm sure everybody else was saying before the game. We have faith in everybody on our roster. We think we have one of the deepest teams in the league." The Heat weren't disagreeing afterward. "We survived," Chris Bosh said. "And we won. They have a bunch of talented guys over there. I know that nobody's going to really give them credit, but they are a tough bunch." How tough? Try this -- the Spurs led by seven with 4:48 left, and the margin was still 98-93 when Gary Neal made a 3-pointer with 2:14 remaining. From there, Miami closed on a 12-2 run. But all anyone will likely remember from this one is Popovich's decision -- and whatever Stern does as a result. "I apologize to all NBA fans," Stern said. "This was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming." Allen scored 20 points, Dwyane Wade added 19 and Chris Bosh finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds for Miami, now 7-0 at home. Neal had 20 points for the Spurs. Tiago Splitter scored 18 points, Nando De Colo added 15, Boris Diaw scored 12 and Bonner had 10 for San Antonio, which finished a six-games-in-nine-nights road trip with a 5-1 record. Bonner also had 10 rebounds, one more than he had grabbed all season entering the game. "Pop is the coach of the San Antonio Spurs," Neal said. "He did what's best for us." Stern's statement was released roughly the same time as tip-off in Miami for the nationally televised game. The Spurs' five starters came into the game averaging a combined 23.6 points, or 1.6 points less than James averaged entering Thursday night. And when the Heat ran out to a 16-6 lead, it seemed as though a blowout was in the offing. After all, even the oddsmakers in Las Vegas expected it to be that way -- the Heat were favored by six points in most sports books before the news broke that the Spurs' regulars were resting, after which the line swelled to 13. Apparently, no one told the Spurs that the second-string was supposed to play second-fiddle. San Antonio closed the first quarter on a 21-6 run, taking a 27-22 lead after the period, and simply did not go away. The Spurs led by as many as seven at one point, and after James Anderson made a pair of free throws with 0.6 seconds left in the third, San Antonio held a 76-73 lead heading into the final 12 minutes. But once again, James-to-Allen proved magical for Miami. With the Heat down by one, James nearly lost the ball in the lane, collected himself and kicked it out to Allen, who connected from the left wing to put Miami ahead to stay. James also set up Allen for a final-moment four-point play to lift Miami over Denver earlier this season, along with another late 3-pointer that helped the Heat edge Cleveland last weekend. "Every time a guy turns his head I have to find the open spot so LeBron can see me," Allen said. "Anything can happen out there. We put ourselves in such a tough situation, but we kept plugging away." Thing is, no one ever thought it would come down to that. Before the game, Popovich said he decided to sit his core when he saw how challenging this particular part of the schedule was for his team. "Everybody has to make decisions about their schedule, about players playing and back-to-backs and trips and that sort of thing," Popovich said before the game. "In our case, this month we've had 11 away games, after tonight. We've had an eight-day trip and a 10-day trip, and we're ending it with four (games) in five nights here. I think it'd be unwise to be playing our guys in that kind of a situation, given their history." It's not unlike other moves Popovich has made before; in fact, not only did he give Duncan, Parker and Ginobili time off together toward the end of last season, which was condensed by a lockout, he actually flew home to San Antonio with them and took a two-game, pre-playoff sabbatical. Popovich said he's gotten letters in the past from fans upset about similar moves, adding that he understands their point and asking that they understand his: He thinks rest is necessary for a roster like San Antonio's. And this decision, Popovich said, wasn't about the fact that the Spurs were facing Miami -- it was more about a home matchup with surging Memphis on Saturday. "Perhaps it'll give us an opportunity to stay on the court with Memphis on Saturday night," Popovich said. "Historically, when you're on a long road trip, that first game when you come home is really tough. And Memphis is one of the best teams in the league. They're of much more concern to us than playing four games in five nights. It's pretty logical." Given Stern's statement, it's also logical to think that the Spurs could know their penalty by Saturday as well. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Popovich's move didn't affect Miami's preparation. "Each organization has a big-picture view of what they are trying to get accomplished and I think the league respects that," Spoelstra said. In this case, maybe not. NOTES: Miami last played on Saturday, at home; San Antonio had played on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, all on the road. ... A moment of silence was held before the game for Sasha McHale, the daughter of Houston coach Kevin McHale. Sasha McHale died Saturday at age 23. ... It was the third straight home game in which Miami trailed in the fourth quarter. ... The back-and-forth game ended a run of blowouts in the Heat-Spurs series. The previous five meetings were decided by an average of 24.8 points, including three 30-point games -- two of those Spurs wins in San Antonio, the other a Heat win in Miami.

Michael Bloomberg, New York's mayor and a financial-industry titan in his own right, was a bit more moderate, but still accused the protesters of trying to "take the jobs away from people working in this city," a statement that bears no resemblance to the movement's actual goals.So the "actual goals" — presumably, something along the lines of a better world for everyone — should divert us from noticing the actual effects people are actually causing? Imagine that as a general principle: We should to back off from criticizing people who have good intentions, even when they adopt means that cause collateral damage, even when those means aren't likely to get us to the pretty goals they have in mind.
These are exactly the people we need to expose and criticize!
Now, Bloomberg did kind of ask for it, because of his use of the word "trying":
"What [the protesters are] trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city... They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism....Bloomberg's rhetoric assigns to the protesters the intent to achieve the natural consequences of their actions. Obviously, this rhetoric invites the Krugman response. But I think it's a good rhetorical device. It rips away the vanity of dreamers and demands that we look at real, concrete facts.
"If the jobs they are trying to get rid of in this city — the people that work in finance, which is a big part of our economy — we're not going to have any money to pay our municipal employees or clean the blocks or anything else."

WASHwatch: helping to hold governments to account on their commitments to the fundamental foundations of health.
WASHwatch—an online platform for monitoring government policy commitments and budgets for water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) was launched by WaterAid yesterday at World Water Week in Stockholm.
Why? Because in 2011, 2.6 billion people world-wide STILL do not have access to sanitation; 884 million people have no safe drinking water source; and shockingly, the resulting diarrhoeal diseases kill 4,000 children every day.
Last year, a PLoS Medicine series advocated for prioritising action towards the neglected fundamental foundations of health—water, sanitation, and hygiene, which unknown to many, also have their share of international commitments and pledges, such as the eThekwini declaration on sanitation, and the Sharm El-Sheikh declarationon water and sanitation, which include promises to increase the funds available for WASH. Some governments are doing as promised, but many are not. WASHwatch.orgaims to get the key information from national budgets in an accessible, understandable, and downloadable format, which can then be used for communication and advocacy purposes. And there is a lot to advocate for:
According to WaterAid, Donor governments and organisations need to:
- Double aid to water, sanitation and hygiene to spend $10bn more a year.
- Target aid on the basis of need, directing money and support to sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, particularly to the least developed, fragile and low-income countries, and to lower middle-income countries where the need is highest.
National governments should also take action to significantly improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene within their countries. Specifically:
- Sub-Saharan African countries should invest 1% of their GDP in tackling sanitation and at least a further 2.5% to developing water supply.
- The countries in South Asia currently off-track to meet their Millennium Development Goal target for sanitation should allocate at least 1% of their GDP to the issue.

Many inorganic, naturally occurring materials have volatile components or moisture within their crystalline structure.
SGS uses a variety of tests, including loss on ignition (LOI) and thermogravimetric analysis, to provide reliable, globally recognized qualitative and quantitative analyses of the crystalline water and volatile components in your samples.
State-of-the-art SGS laboratories around the world conduct a number of accurate, independent chemical analyses for moisture content and volatiles including:
Loss on Ignition (LOI) testing
Loss on ignition represents the mass of moisture and volatile material present in a sample. The volatile materials lost usually consist of 'combined water' and carbon dioxide from carbonates. Results of this important test are a component of the whole rock analysis of a mineral. During an LOI test, SGS technical experts heat the sample at a specific temperature, collecting and measuring the moisture and volatiles that are released. The test continues until the mass of the sample ceases to change.
Results of an SGS thermogravimetry, or thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), define the LOI in your samples. During this analysis the change in mass of the samples is continuously monitored as temperature is increased. Thermogravimetric tests conducted in SGS laboratories provide reliable test results based on accurate measurements of weight, temperature and temperature change. We conduct this test to determine a number of parameters including:
- Degradation temperature
- Absorbed moisture content
- Levels of organic and inorganic compounds
- Decomposition points
- Solvent residues
- Corrosion kinetics
SGS uses an infrared detector to precisely identify gases following TGA when you require more definitive results.
SGS provides a full range of chemical analyses to accurately determine the moisture content in your materials. Our technical excellence and experienced staff ensure trustworthy test results. We provide you with the impartial and independent data about the quality and composition of your sample that you need to make the best decisions to grow your operation.

Kovels Antiques & Collecting: Week of May 27, 2013
BEACHWOOD, Ohio – Electric lights were first marketed to the public about 1880. It is said that Louis Comfort Tiffany's famous lily lamp with glass shades for light bulbs was the first lamp with a shade that projected light down, not up, like a candle flame. Other lamps of the early 1900s were adapted to accept bulbs by removing the older light source, like a candle, then wiring the lamp for electricity and adding a bulb and shade. Others were made in entirely new shapes.
During the Art Nouveau period, sensuous women with curves were part of the designs used for glass, ceramics, bronze figurines and even furniture. So it is not surprising that a variety of lamps designed to feature women also were made. The Loetz glass factory (1840-1940), in what is now the Czech Republic, made art glass. At around the turn of the 20th century, workers there designed a figural lamp with a bronze base shaped like a woman holding an iridescent gold glass shade above her head. The glass resembled Tiffany's, but it was actually made at the Loetz factory. It was signed by Peter Tereszczuk (1875-1963), a well-known Ukrainian sculptor who made bronze figurines and other decorative bronzes.
Bell collectors prize his bronze electric call buttons that look like a small child on a rocky base. The lamp sold for $3,750 at a Rago Arts and Auction sale in 2013.
Q: My old gate-leg table has a label that says it was made by the John D. Raab Chair Co. The finish on the table is a bit worn and marred. I have been considering refinishing or painting it, although I think this would decrease its value. What do you think?
A: The John D. Raab Chair Co. was in business in Grand Rapids, Mich., from 1906 to 1924, when it was taken over by the Furniture Shops of Grand Rapids. If you like the table and plan to use it, go ahead and refinish or paint it. "Brown furniture" pieces like your table are not selling for much money today, and many people are buying them at bargain prices, then refinishing or painting them to either use or resell.
Q: I would like information on a metal toy roller coaster that was given to my son in the early 1970s. It was made by J. Chein & Co., of Burlington, N.J. It's about 20 inches long, and has two cars propelled by an elastic band wound by a key. A ticket booth, hot-dog stand, cotton candy stand and children are pictured around the sides. Is it valuable or collectible?
A: Julius Chein emigrated from Russia in 1893 and opened his toy company in New York City in 1903. The company moved to Burlington in 1949. The roller coaster was one of several amusement park toys made by Chein. It was designed by model-maker Eugene Bosch in 1949 and was made until the late 1960s. The lithographed pictures around the base were changed several times, and different colors were used. A 1950s version pictures a sideshow. Chein stopped making toys in the 1970s. The company was sold in 1987, became Atlantic Cheinco and filed for bankruptcy in 1992. The sideshow version from the 1950s sells for $150 to $400. Your version with a hot-dog stand is less than $100.
Q: I would like to know something about the maker of a platter that has been in my family for years. It's marked "Greenwood China, made for P, JB and Sons, Hotel Department," and "Greenwood China, Trenton, N.J." is impressed on the back. Can you tell me how old this is?
A: Greenwood Pottery was founded in 1868. It began marking pieces "Greenwood China" in 1886. During the early 1900s, Greenwood Pottery and Greenwood China were listed at separate addresses in Trenton, although they were under the same management. Dinnerware, hotel ware, restaurant ware and other items were made. Hotel china was marked with the letter "P" underneath "Greenwood China." The pottery also made porcelain marked "Greenwood Art Pottery." The art pottery ewers and vases can sell for more than $1,000 each. Greenwood Pottery was out of business by about 1933.
Q: We own an Art Nouveau vase signed "Val St. Lambert." It's 16 1/2 inches high. Can you tell us something about it, including what it's worth?
A: Val St. Lambert Cristalleries (glassmaking factory) was founded near Liege, Belgium, in 1826. The only glassmaking company in Belgium, it still operates today (visit Val-Saint-Lambert.com). The company is best known for its Art Nouveau (c. 1895-1905) and Art Deco (c. 1925-1935) glassware. The size and style of your vase may mean that it could sell for more than $1,000. Have an expert in your area take a look at it.
Q: I found a $1,000 certificate from the Bank of the United States among my father's things after he died. It's dated Dec. 15, 1840, and is No. 8894. There are portraits of six men along the sides. The only one I recognize is Benjamin Franklin. Is this certificate valuable?
A: The Bank of the United States was chartered in 1791 in Philadelphia, which was the United States' capital at that time. The men pictured on your note are David Rittenhouse (the first director of the U.S. Mint), William Penn, Thomas Paine, Robert Morris, Benjamin Franklin and Robert Fulton. An original bank note would sell for more than $100, but this particular bank note is a commonly found fake.
Tip: Be careful when handling birdhouses, birdcages and bird feeders, old or new. It is possible to catch pigeon fever (psittacosis) through a cut or even from breathing the dust.

Apple may be using its own technology to boost Siri's noise filtering capabilities with the next version of the iPhone. Digital signal processing company Audience announced late Thursday that Apple was "unlikely" to use its noise suppression IP in its upcoming iPhone, though Audience's tech may remain in the chips produced for older versions of the iPhone.
It came out that Apple was working with Audience for Siri's signal processing capabilities in the iPhone 4S in February of this year thanks to an SEC filing. At the time, Audience revealed that a version of the company's background noise filtering tech—called earSmart—was incorporated directly into the A5 processor Apple currently uses in the iPhone 4S. It is believed that this is part of the reason Apple currently limits its virtual "intelligent assistant" to the iPhone 4S, though Apple has announced plans to bring Siri to the third-generation iPad when iOS 6 is released this fall.
"Audience now believes that it is unlikely that [Apple] will enable Audience's processor IP in its next generation mobile phone," Audience said in a statement. "Audience is not aware of any intended changes by this OEM to its use of Audience's processors or processor IP in prior generations of the OEM's mobile phones."
Apple came under fire when it decided to limit Siri to the iPhone 4S, because hacks had enabled users of jailbroken iPhone 4 hadsets to install Siri, indicating that it could indeed run on older tech than the iPhone 4S. The February announcement by Audience seemed to indicate, however, that Apple was limiting Siri to certain hardware for quality assurance purposes—at least until Siri was ready to drop its "beta" status. Now that Apple appears to be shedding its dependence on Audience, it could be an indicator that Siri is ready to make its way onto more devices without the help of earSmart. We'll likely find out more next Wednesday when Apple holds its fall media event in San Francisco.

Lawrence G. Baxter, at Duke Law School, recently wrote an excellent situationist article, titled "Capture in Financial Regulation: Can We Redirect It Toward the Common Good?" (forthcoming in 21 Cornell Journal of Law & Public Policy). Here's the abstract.
* * *
"Regulatory capture" is central to regulatory analysis yet is a troublesome concept. It is difficult to prove and sometimes seems refuted by outcomes unfavorable to powerful interests. Nevertheless, the process of bank regulation and supervision fosters a closeness between regulator and regulated that would seem to be conducive to "capture" or at least to fostering undue sympathy by regulators for the companies they oversee. The influence of very large financial institutions has also become so great that financial regulation appears to have become excessively distorted in favor of these entities and to the detriment of many other legitimate interests, including those of taxpayers, smaller financial institutions, and the promotion of general economic growth. So "deep capture" by the larger elements of the financial industry of the regulatory process might well have become a very significant problem. At the same time, it is unrealistic to assume that participants in the policy making and policy implementation process will not be trying to exert influence on the outcome of any regulation that impacts them. Attempts to maximize influence are surely an inevitable element of the ongoing regulatory process. And it is unrealistic to try to avoid extensive industry input altogether. Regulators and regulations depend on frequent and sometimes intense interaction with various sectors of the industry. To promote sound regulatory policy, we should renew efforts to shape the environmental conditions in which the competition for regulatory outcomes takes place, so that policy more favorable to the general public interest becomes more likely. This involves a combination of measures, many of which are quite traditional but some of which are too often neglected. Such measures might include: strengthening "tripartism," advocated by Ayres and Braithwaite, by facilitating broader interest group participation in the regulatory process; limiting the influence of dominant participants by reducing their scale; properly structuring, resourcing and supporting regulatory agencies and regulators; "rotating" regulators so that they are less likely to develop unduly empathic relationships with the institutions they regulate; tightening the rules governing the "revolving door;" and making greater use of independent consultative and review bodies.

Last year, after decades of waiting, a handful of theorists had their work confirmed with the announcement that scientists had discovered an elusive particle called the Higgs boson. Now, just over a year later, two of those theoreticians are being awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.
The Higgs boson is a manifestation of the Higgs field, an invisible entity that pervades the Universe. Interactions between the Higgs field and particles help provide particles with mass, with particles that interact more strongly having larger masses. But despite its central role in the function of the Universe, the road to the papers that predicted the existence of the Higgs was bumpy, as was the process of discovering it.
The idea of the Higgs was a consequence of studies on the weak force, which controls the decay of radioactive elements. The weak force only operates at very short distances, which suggests that the particles that mediate it (the W and Z bosons) are likely to be massive. While it was possible to use existing models of physics to explain some of their properties, these predictions had an awkward feature: just like another force-carrying particle, the photon, the resulting W and Z bosons were massless.
Over time, theoreticians managed to craft models that included massive W and Z bosons, but they invariably came with a hitch: a massless partner, which would imply a longer-range force. In 1964, however, a series of papers was published in rapid succession that described a way to get rid of this problematic particle. If a certain symmetry in the models was broken, the massless partner would go away, leaving only a massive one. The first of these papers, by François Englert and Robert Brout, proposed the new model in terms of quantum field theory; the second, by Peter Higgs, noted that a single quantum of the field would be detectable as a particle.
Robert Brout died in 2011, so Englert (currently at the Free University of Brussels) was honored for his contributions, as was Higgs, who is at the University of Edinburgh. The third paper, by Gerald Guralnik, Carl Richard Hagen, and Tom Kibble, was not recognized by this award, possibly due to the prize's stipulation that only three people be recognized. (For the same reason, none of the people who spotted the Higgs at the LHC are recognized; as the Nobel documents point out, each of the two detectors credited with the discovery had a staff of over 3,000 researchers.)
But the third paper provided an independent validation of the general approach, as did a completely independent derivation by students in the Soviet Union. By 1967, Steve Weinberg had extended the Higgs mechanism to account for the mass of electrons and heavier leptons, and in 1971, Gerhard 't Hooft and Martinus Veltman figured out how to get rid of a few annoying infinities in some of the equations. By 1983, the W and Z bosons had had their masses determined, providing an experimental validation of some of the predictions made by the theoreticians.
But while the Higgs field managed to get a lot of things in the Standard Model to work properly, we still didn't have experimental validation of one of its predictions: the Higgs particle. Precision measurements of the masses of some of the heavier particles put an upper limit on the Higgs mass at about 150GeV, while experiments with the Large Electron-Positron collider (the LHC's predecessor, built in the same tunnel) eliminated everything under 115GeV. Meanwhile, years of running the Tevatron had produced a weak signal of around 120GeV, one that was just over two standard deviations above background noise.
That was where things stood when the LHC started up. Within a few years of operation, the new collider had generated enough data to detect a five-sigma signal at just above 125GeV, enough to announce discovery. On the day of the announcement, Englert and Higgs were in the audience at CERN. Now, they will have a chance to meet again with a different kind of audience—one with the King of Sweden.

Horse rescued from swimming pool
Rescuers use tow truck to help lift horse from water
A horse jumped a fence on its property and ended up in its owners' swimming pool Tuesday afternoon in Loxahatchee.
Local veterinarians were called to the scene to calm the horse, a 30-year-old named Andy. His owner spotted him in the pool about 4 p.m.
"He was treading water for a little while, trying to get up the little hill in the pool," said Dr. Janet Greenfield, a veterinarian with Palm Beach Equine Clinic.
She and Dr. Tyler Davis injected a mild sedative to relax Andy and then used a rope and some mats to get him to the shallow end of the pool where he could stand.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue's special operations team took it from there. They attached a harness to Andy and then used a tow truck to lift him out of the pool.
"It's a beautiful thing when everything comes together," District Chief Doug McGlynn said.
Greenfield said Andy escaped unscathed.
"He has taken several steps and seems to be walking alright," she said. "He is in good health, not a scratch on him actually."

HE Heat Pump Bias? Your replies to the letters pointing out the problems in your recent articles on geothermal heat pump performance missed the mark. First, you didn't fully reply to Jim Maunder's letter (Heat Pump Comparison Flawed? Mar/Apr '97, p. 3), which indicated that your comparison of ground source heat pumps and electric-resistance heaters was flawed. You simply recalculated to adjust for the fact that the electric-resistance homes were superinsulated. But you were still comparing homes with central heating systems to homes with individual room heating.
In Do You Dig Ground Source Heat Pumps? (Nov/Dec '96, p. 33), Jeff Stein concluded that some ground source heat pumps did not meet efficiency targets. However, his conclusions were based on comparisons to noncentrally heated electric-resistance homes in the extreme North, many (maybe all) with supplementary wood heat.
Similarly, in responding to John Livermore's letter (Give Heat Pumps Their Day in the Sun, Mar/Apr '97, p. 3), you asserted that the EPA's report Space Conditioning: The Next Frontier is based on simulations when heat pumps perform to specifications and ducts don't leak. As the primary author of that report, I know that the analysis assumed a duct leakage rate for all types of energy systems. We wanted to isolate the comparative performance of various electric, gas, and oil technologies by holding all other variables constant. You make it sound like we pumped up the results for geothermal by assuming a different value for the duct systems. Actually, we deliberately disregarded the fact that, on the air-source side, there is an expected degradation of performance due to mischarging and/or leaky charges (this is not a problem with geothermal heat pumps, since the charge is hermetically sealed in the factory). We also disregarded the additional annual maintenance charges associated with gas-fired heat pumps, since we were not aware of the servicing requirement at time of publication.
We don't claim that geothermal systems always perform as advertised. Nevertheless, PV and passive solar advocates prefer geothermal systems because of their low demand and friendly load shapes. You have jumped to a negative conclusion about ground source heat pump technology, showing a very strong negative bias.
Mike L'Ecuyer
Editor's reply :
Mr. L'Ecuyer is correct in describing the problems of comparing heating systems. However, Jeff Stein did in fact adjust energy use to reflect differences in insulation levels. It's more difficult to adjust for differences in inside temperatures, but Stein was able to confirm that the control houses were warm because the inside temperatures were monitored and the occupants were surveyed. The biggest factor affecting energy use is burning wood in wood stoves. Fortunately, most of the control houses did not have wood stoves or fireplaces, and the few that did were paid not to use them during the monitoring period.Invading Ants Go for the Foam I will be re-siding my house sometime in the next couple years, probably with vinyl, and I would really like to increase the insulation levels at the same time. I had been thinking of using 1 or 2 inches of rigid foam board insulation under the siding, but I'm concerned about carpenter ants.
I have a friend with a superinsulated house, and he's had serious problems with carpenter ants nesting in the foam board.
Stressed-skin panel manufacturers often add borates to the foam to reduce this problem, but I haven't heard of such a thing for regular foam board insulation.
I live in a heavily wooded area, and I've already had termites and carpenter ants do serious damage to the house. I don't want to make my house even more inviting.

Siding retrofitter Paul Fisette, author of Roofing and Siding Rehabs Get an Energy Fix (Nov/Dec '96, p. 25) responds: I don't think that there is an epidemic of ant infestation in foam. However, it is a concern of mine. I have seen several cases where carpenter ants have infested rigid foam insulation. I've seen bags full of material that I thought was cellulose. After closer inspection, I found that it was expanded polystyrene, destroyed by nesting ants.
Ants nest in soft media and leave the nest to forage for food. They nest in wet wood because it's soft and easy to chew; foam is vulnerable for the same reason. If you do not have foam, you most likely have another appealing nesting medium. For example, you may get ant infestation in cellulose or fiberglass. The insulation can be drastically compromised. Since the insulation is out of sight and out of mind, the heat loss may never be visually detected.
Manufacturers of stressed skin panels do add borates to their mix to discourage nesting, but I have not seen evidence that they've been successful. And borates can leach out if your siding leaks. I am also not sure that foam board with borates is readily available.
Given all the odds, I would still use foam in a residing project. What are the alternatives? If you need to upgrade your insulation, foam is often the best choice.Showerhead Scores In The Toilets Conservationists Like Best (Mar/Apr '97, p. 9), there is one small correction we'd like to point out in your report of the survey. We had decided not to provide an average score index for the showerheads as you did, and treated all the showerheads as basically the same product. The article suggested that the Niagara showerhead stood apart from the rest in performance. That was not our view.

She doesn't steal scenes, she makes you want to give them to her – but she'd never abuse the privilege. She's impossible not to watch and listen to: a live, beating heart with a ready mile-wide smile and the brains to back it up. The only consolation in her leaving is the understanding that she was meant for greatness beyond the boundaries of the school she's already helped make great. She walks to a rhythm everyone wants to follow and the world will be a better place with her leading it."

Rebels capture oil field, Syria responds with airstrikes
Syrian government airstrikes on rebel-held areas in the north on Saturday killed at least 44 people. And Al Qaeda-linked fighters ousted government troops from the al-Omar oil field during an overnight battle.
| Beirut
A string of government airstrikes on rebel-held areas in the north on Saturday killed at least 44 people, activists said, as Al Qaeda-linked rebels captured one of the country's oil field in the east.
Rami Abdurrahman, the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the attack on the rebel-held town of al-Bab near the northern city of Aleppo is the deadliest of the three raids. He said that strike killed 22.
Fighter jets also bombed two rebel-held districts of Aleppo, Syria's largest city. Government warplanes missed their target in the Halwaniyeh neighborhood and sent bombs into a crowded vegetable market, killing 15 people, Abdurrahman said. Seven people died in a third airstrike in the Karam el-Beik district, according to the activist group. The Observatory has been documenting the conflict by relying on a network of activists on the ground.
Air power has been Syrian President Bashar Assad's greatest advantage in the civil war. Over the past year, his forces have exploited it in a wide-ranging offensive to push back rebel gains in the north and around the capital, Damascus.
Syrian state television confirmed the fighter jets were in the north, but said they targeted "gatherings of terrorists" in Aleppo, killing a large number of them. Syrian state media routinely refers to rebels fighting to topple Assad's government as terrorists.
Another activist group, the Aleppo Media Network, confirmed Saturday's airstrikes and posted a video of what it says was the aftermath of the al-Bab raid. Plumes of smoke rose from twisted metal and chunks of broken-up concrete strewn on the ground.
The video appeared authentic and was consistent with The Associated Press' reporting of the airstrikes.
Meanwhile, fighters from Al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra ousted government troops from the al-Omar field Saturday during an overnight battle, Abdurrahman said. Syrian state media and officials did not mention it.
It is not clear if the field is operational. Before the uprising began in early 2011, the oil revenues provided around a quarter of the government's budget. In 2010, Syria produced about 380,000 barrels a day.
Oil exports have ground to nearly a standstill since. Assad's government now imports refined fuel supplies to keep up with demand amid shortages and rising prices.
In late 2012, rebels began seizing fields in Deir el-Zour, one of two main centers of oil production. In February, they captured the large Jbeysa oil field after three days of fighting. A year ago, rebels briefly captured al-Omar field only to lose it to government troops days later.
Rebels largely have been unable to benefit from the oil fields. The country's two refineries remain under government control and the threat of airstrikes make working the fields difficult.
Also Saturday, a pro-government television station said gunmen fired at a vehicle belonging to a Syrian Cabinet minister, killing his driver. Al-Ekhbariya said Minister Ali Haider was not in the car when it came under fire while traveling on a highway that links the central city of Hama with Tartous on the Mediterranean coast. A government media office confirmed the report.
Syria's civil war started as a peaceful uprising against Assad that deteriorated into all-out civil war after a government forces violently cracked down on protesters. The conflict has killed some 120,000 people, activists say. The United Nations said in July that 100,000 Syrians have been killed, and has not updated that figure since. Millions of Syrians have been uprooted from their homes because of the fighting.

How Is The BBC Handling Abuse Scandal?
For more about the implications of the scandal with the BBC, we're joined by Martin Bell, OBE. He has a distinguished career as one of the BBC's most famous war correspondents. He covered 11 conflicts, reported from 80 countries over the course of 30 years. Martin Bell was seriously wounded by shrapnel while reporting the war in Bosnia, and if that weren't punishment enough, he then went on to be an independent member of the British parliament from 1997 to 2001.
Martin Bell joins us from London. Thanks so much for being with us.
MARTIN BELL: A pleasure.
SIMON: You've spoken out about this crisis. What are some of the implications and the possible impact you see here.
BELL: I joined the BBC half a century ago, which makes me feel incredibly old. And in all that time, I cannot remember a crisis so damaging to its reputation for trust as a national broadcaster.
SIMON: Does the way this affair has, thus far, been handled by the BBC tell you anything about the management structure or ethics that prevail there now?
BELL: It's been very badly handled. I think everything starts to go pear-shaped when BBC broadcaster reported the war in Iraq, this was in February/March 2003, which Downing Street highly disliked. And Downing Street went to war with it. There was a commission of enquiry. Then director general lost his job, although the fundamental report was accurate.
And the BBC then went into retreat, a culture of timidity set in, in which it was easier to appoint a safe pair of hands to an important editorial job rather, than someone who might be suspected of making waves and I think this is all part of it.
SIMON: Mark Thompson, the former director general of BBC, has just left to become the next CEO of the New York Times. And the Times public editor suggested a few days ago that his appointment ought to be delayed until he makes an accounting of his actions or failure to take action. Mr. Thompson said he's never got any formal report about the news night story. Should that be good enough? Are there other questions to be raised here?
BELL: There are questions to be raised and I think he's going to have to take time off from being CEO of the New York Times just to appear before the House of Commons committee. There are some serious issues. It was on his watch. I think Mark should move, very quickly, back to his own backyard for a little awhile and just tell us what he knew.
SIMON: Martin Bell, what would you say to people who question the government subsidy to the BBC, especially in a time when there's so many private broadcasters?
BELL: Actually, I happen to think it's an incredibly good value for money. You know, I worked in your wonderful country as the BBC's chief Washington correspondent for 12 years, and the news, including the television news and the ads, drove me crazy. I wanted it straight. To have a public service of the BBC's quality, usually admired throughout the world, they're not necessarily so much here, is a marvelous asset.
I happen to think that we will recover, we being the BBC. But my goodness, this is the worst time that I can remember, The worst scandal and the most damaging to trust. But now we've got to keep it. It is still - I'm sure NPR is wonderful, but as far as I know, the BBC is the world's best and most authoritative news broadcast.
SIMON: What about people who raise questions and say they're so many privately funded alternatives at this point? And to be fair, their shows win awards, too.
BELL: Yes, and a lot of them are Murdoch and they have - they've got a commercial interest in cutting the BBC down to size and the BBC has over-expanded. But it's a point worth making, that this scandal has been lingering there in our public and broadcasting life certainly since the early 1970s. And none of these fearless newspapers, these tabloids, have even touched it. The BBC had the story, dropped it, to its eternal discredit, but the newspapers never touched it.
SIMON: And the tabloids have not been known to shy away from a story like this as a matter of taste.
BELL: Oh, no, no. Taste and tabloids don't go together. That's their whole shtick. It's surprising. I mean, it would have - of course, while he was alive, this Jimmy Savile, he had good lawyers and it would've taken quite a lot to bring him down, but a cast iron case could've done. They didn't. They never touched it. There were all these rumors swirling around for all these years. So it happened rather belatedly, but it's to the BBC's discredit that it did not run this expose itself.
SIMON: Martin Bell, veteran BBC war correspondent and former member of Parliament, speaking from London. Thanks very much.
BELL: Thank you, sir. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
