A round up of recent news coverage where I have provided analysis…
1. USA Today ran this profile of actor Ed Begley, focusing on his commitment to environmental issues and a green lifestyle. Here's what I said about the impact that citizens can have on their peers when they become advocates for a cause such as environmental conservation:
Early adopters of such practices "definitely make a difference," says Matthew Nisbet, a professor at American University in Washington, D.C., who studies public affairs.
"Citizens who eagerly adopt environmentally friendly behaviors are what marketers call 'influentials.' These are everyday opinion leaders who, through the visibility of their actions or by talking up their opinions and passing on recommendations about products, influence neighbors, co-workers and friends," Nisbet says.
Although celebrity endorsements are a bit different in their impact than the influence of fellow neighbors and co-workers, the concept tracks closely the type of climate change opinion-leader campaigns that I have been writing about at this blog and elsewhere.
2. ClimateWire, a news syndication service that covers the environment and energy, ran a feature[password] analyzing American perceptions of climate change and the relationship to the policy debate. It's one of the best discussions of public opinion I've seen in the press, with some interesting comments from various pollsters and experts.
Here's what I had to say, an interpretation that will be familiar to readers of this blog or articles that I have written. See for example this recent study I did analyzing two decades of polling trends on global warming (PDF).
"The conventional wisdom is that media coverage and An Inconvenient Truth [former Vice President Al Gore's documentary on global warming] changed public opinion," said Matthew Nisbet, an assistant professor of communication at American University. "Instead, most of the impact was to intensify things for those who already care about climate change."
….Regardless of the source of the lackluster interest, many political scientists have indicated that the current apathy presents a problem for potential passage of climate legislation.
"Whenever you have systematic policy challenges that have a lot of costs, some in Congress need to see in polls that there is public support," said Nisbet. "If I had to guess, I'd say maybe at the end of 2009 we'll get something through."
…To change that, supporters of controlling carbon dioxide emissions should consider reframing the issue around new green jobs and spiraling energy costs, which already rank as high priorities with Democrats and Republicans, American University professor Nisbet said.
McCain's environmental adviser, James Woolsey, made a similar point recently when he said he had convinced a Republican congressman to support climate control measures after tying the topic to terrorism in a hearing. The congressman said, "If we're doing it for that reason, then fine," Woolsey recalled this month at an panel of the Society of Environmental Journalists.
One blogger has posted the full syndicated article here.
3. Finally, the June issue of The Scientist magazine profiles my colleague Timothy Caulfield, a professor of law at the University of Alberta and Director of the Health Law Institute. Caulfield is one of the leading scholars studying the intersection of policy, the media, and bioethics.
In recent projects, Caulfield has been analyzing news coverage of genetics, examining the tendency of the press to hype certain discoveries, or alternatively to report negatively on specific high-profile patent cases. Here's what I had to say to The Scientist about Caulfield's work:
"Tim [Caulfield] has done a very good job of bringing to bear the uncertainties of science," says Matthew Nisbet at American University in Washington, DC. "He's shown that the media doesn't just reflect the policy debate; it actively shapes it."
The June issue of The Scientist featuring the profile should be online later this week.

Designer: George Nelson
The slim, elegant lines and sculpted legs of George Nelson's 1954 pedestal table look as good outdoors as in. We've made it with materials that will stand up to the elements. The three available sizes can be used as side tables, coffee tables, occasional tables with chairs, chaises lounges, or sofas. With three heights, two diameters, four stone tops, and two powder-coat finishes to choose from, you'll find it easy to create the tables you need to suit any open air arrangement.
To make the tables appropriate for outdoor use, we chose two powder-coat finishes for the bases and four durable stone finishes for the tops. Each type of stone comes from a North American quarry with a strong connection to historic American design.
Georgia White Marble is the same marble used for Lincoln's sculpture at the Lincoln Memorial. Georgia Grey Marble is the same used in the 2004 renovation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Wisconsin Black Marble is a dark stone speckled with lustrous green and grey veins. Quebec Graphite Granite is the same granite used on Chicago's John Hancock Center.
Once extracted, two-centimeter-thick slabs of stone are cut to order, and the tops have a knife edge derived from Nelson's original design.

How to blind bake
Photography by Ben Dearnley
In this month's issue
To prevent them becoming soggy, shortcrust pastry cases need to be partially cooked before adding moist fillings. This process, known as blind baking, which seals the surface and results in a crisp pastry case.
Step 1:
Line the base and sides of an uncooked pastry case with non-stick baking paper. Fill with rice, dried beans, or metal or ceramic baking weights. (This stops the pastry base rising during cooking.) Place on a baking tray and cook in an oven preheated to 220C for 8-10 minutes.
Step 2:
Remove the pastry case from the oven and remove the baking paper and rice, dried beans or baking weights. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes (depending on the size of the pastry case) or until light golden.

- So if the filling is to be baked, do you recommend blind baking? The recipe in question is only baked for 20 minutes in a raw base..

The Seven Best: Detroit bars
It's Friday, and everyone knows it's time to lift a glass in honor of the weekend (and the massively exciting University of Michigan/Michigan State University football game Saturday).
Join me on a tour of my favorite Detroit watering holes. This is part of a new Feature I'm calling The Seven Best…So feel free to tell me that I'm crazy because I forgot your favorite spot. I promise to go there and have at least one adult beverage in your honor if I can find a babysitter. Thanks to my friend, Mike Goode, for reminding me of these awesome places and many more.
1. Cadieux Café: 4300 Cadieux Road. I love this Belgium bar so much I had my rehearsal dinner here. It began as a Prohibition-era speakeasy and then transformed into the social club for the region's Belgian population. It still thrives as home to the best steamed mussels and feather-bowling lanes around. How does one feather bowl, you ask? Imaging throwing a wooden wheel of cheese down a dirt lane toward a feather stuck in said earth. (Check out the video of Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations hitting the lanes below.)
2. The Ivanhoe Café: 5249 Jos Campau. Stanislaus Grendinski founded this beloved bar in 1909. The working-class joint is also known as the Polish Yacht Club, a wink-wink name that the guys who hung out here used when they wanted to get out of the house. The bar and restaurant, which feels like the interior of my grandma's house, offers traditional Polish fare served family style so be prepared to share.
3. Dakota Inn Rathskeller: 17324 John R Street. The Dakota opened in 1933 and remains Detroit's only authentic German bar. It used to be a laundry, but now it looks like a little piece of Bavaria. The restaurant is full of antique beer steins, Fräuleins and schnitzel. The wait staff is all dressed in classic old-school clothing and they they rule over the regular oompah bands and polka contests. Oh, and did I mention that the bar celebrates Oktoberfest all month long?
4. Ol' Shillelagh: 349 Monroe Street. A classic Irish bar, its Web site has a ticker to monitor the time left until St. Patrick's Day. The bar opened in 1975 and has been packed ever since. The owners have to put up tents outside on the big day to accommodate everyone who wants to be there. I have so many memories (yet no memory) of great nights here, singing along to whatever singer might be on stage that night.
5. Foran's Grand Trunk Pub: 612 Woodward Avenue. The bar recently changed its name to better represent its history as the Grand Trunk Railroad's ticket station. The building, a Michigan historical landmark, is stunning with 25-foot ceilings, brick walls and brass chandeliers. And it is a great spot to enjoy the region's favorite Faygo pop. Back in the day, we would take a two-hour lunch and enjoy a pint and a bowl of shepherd's pie.
6. Cliff Bells: 2030 Park Avenue. Original owner Clifford Bell hated Prohibition, so he did everything in his power to bring drinks to Detroit. He opened his signature club in 1935 inside a building designed by master regional architect Albert Kahn. The bar went through a series of owners and names only to shut down in 1985. It reopened two decades later to reclaim its status as one of the most gorgeous interiors in the city.
7. Elwood Bar & Grill: 300 E Adams Avenue. This lovely little Art Deco diner has the perfect location – smack dab behind Comerica Park's left field (go Tigers!). The Elwood moved from its original location at Elizabeth Street and Woodward Avenue to make room for the new baseball stadium and enjoyed a complete renovation in 1997. Do me a favor and order some fries for me.

The top military general in Iraq hinted to ABC's Martha Raddatz that next week's much-anticipated report on the status of the troop surge in Iraq would include a recommendation for troop reduction in March, if not sooner, to avoid a strain on the Army.
"The surge will run its course. There are limits to what our military can provide, so, my recommendations have to be informed by — not driven by — but they have to be informed by the strain we have put on our military services," Gen. David Petraeus said in the interview at Camp Victory in Baghdad. "That has to be a key factor in what I will recommend."
While he would not get specific about the recommendations that he gave to President Bush during a surprise visit to Iraq yesterday, when Raddatz asked if March would be the time for a drawdown to avoid further strain on the military and even longer deployments, he answered by saying, "Your calculations are about right."

Michael Buble defends Britney over miming controversyNovember 17th, 2009 - 3:01 pm ICT by ANI
Melbourne, Nov 17 (ANI): Canadian singer Michael Buble has come to pop princess Britney Spears' defence as the controversy surrounding her Australian tour grows.
Buble, 34, who is in Australia to promote his No. 1 album Crazy Love and to appear on Australian Idol, said the Aussie reaction to 27-year-old Spears' mimed concerts had made headlines around the world.
"You'd think she killed someone," News.com.au quoted him as saying.
"As an artist, and a human being, some of what has been written about her is so nasty. OK, she lip-synchs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that.
"Mind you, I lip-synch all my concerts, I'm the Milli Vanilli of jazz," he added. (ANI)

Welcome to Saturday's edition of our daily 2014 World Cup viewing guide for D.C. Every morning, we'll examine the schedule and suggest where in the Washington area you can watch the best or most interesting match of the day. For more ideas about where to watch particular teams, see our World Cup viewing guide.
The match of the day: Germany against Ghana (3 p.m.) features the two other teams in the United States' group. A victory for Germany guarantees the team's passage to the round of 16, and makes the United States certain to qualify with a win over Portugal on Sunday. The major subplot: German defender Jerome Boateng faces his half-brother, Ghanian midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng, who played for Germany at the under-21 level.
Where to watch: Biergarten Haus, which drew crowds of chanting German fans to H Street NE on Monday, will once again be the place for huge mugs of beer, bratwurst and gemutlichkeit. The rooftop deck has been tented, allowing more fans to fit in, but the staff is still expecting the place to be crowded. Arrive before 1 p.m. if you want a chance of a table. Other places supporting Germany: Dacha Beer Garden, where the possibility of showers is a tradeoff for a boot of German beer; Doner Bistro in Adams Morgan and Leesburg, which has beer and wurst specials during the match; and the Goethe-Institut, which is allowing fans to bring their own refreshments to its Chinatown headquarters. The tucked-away bar at Cafe Mozart is an option if you want something less crowded and hectic.
Fans of Ghana should head for Bukom Cafe in Adams Morgan for good vibes and African food and beer.

Ducktivity provided by ryanoh228
This Is a sword made out of cardboard (for more strength), and decorated with Duck Tape for style (and also a little bit of strength. When cutting the cardboard you may want to use a razor blade (with a parent's promission) for a faster and straighter cut.
Skill Level:Beginner
Approximate Crafting Time:0:30
Supplies and Tools:
- Silver or Gray Duck Tape
- Cardboard
- Another Color of Duck Tape
- Scissors or a Razor Blade
Step 1
Cut out a long piece of cardboard , about 8 in. wide. The height is for what suits you best. This will be the blade.
Step 2
Fold the cardboard piece in half so that it is thinner, not shorter.
Step 3
Cut a point out of one end, to be the tip of the sword. And on the other end, cut out a stub to be the handle.
Step 4
By now, the cardboard may be wanting to unfold, use a little tape to keep it from folding, or tape the entire blade up with the silver/gray duck tape.
Step 5
Cut out two identical trapezoids, to serve as the top of the handle. Tape one on top of the blade (just above the handle) and tape the other on the opposite side.
Step 6
Tape over the handle with the Duck Tape color of your choice. And SHAZAM! You have yourself a Duck Tape Sword! Oh, and heres a picture of my cat with the sword for your enjoyment;

The strawberry flavor sucks as well man! I think Syntha 6 Strawberry flavor
was the best i had ever tasted!
sounds like that choc flavor shake really sucks. lucky me, my supplier
passed me a tub this morning and i was like no thanx dude, i'll get vanilla
flavor instead. however, it dissolves way better than my MyoFusion
ProBiotic Series despite not tasting as good. if u mixed MyoFusion w low
fat milk, it really tastes like ice cream floats.

Last in a five-part series about Costa Mesa's political battle.
It has been nearly two years since Costa Mesa residents elected Jim Righeimer and his brand of small government. Hostile to organized labor, Righeimer led a four-member City Council majority in a quest to privatize city services and cut employee compensation.
Some heralded him as a visionary committed to getting outsized municipal spending under control, while others labeled him an ideologue hellbent on dismantling a competent government work force.
In November, voters will have the opportunity to affirm his philosophy or break up the majority and reject its proposed city charter — essentially a local constitution. A trio of candidates backed by Righeimer and an opposition coalition of three supported by a grass-roots group, Costa Mesans for Responsible Government (CM4RG), are in the Nov. 6 election.
The three-person opposing slates differ on issues from taxation to transparency, but perhaps their largest gap is their stance toward the city's employees.
"If the folks of Costa Mesa like what has been happening in the past few years," said Cal State Fullerton political scientist Shelly Arsneault, "it seems like they would stay the course. And this charter would likely make this move more quickly."
If the opposing slate wins, "I would not expect a total shift to some liberal agenda," she said, "but it looks like those folks want to take things more slowly."
On one side are Planning Commissioner Colin McCarthy, Councilman Gary Monahan and Councilman Steve Mensinger, who was appointed to the council in January 2011. Dubbed the "3Ms," they share Righeimer's plan for a smaller government payroll and reduced pension obligations.
On the other side are former mayor Sandra "Sandy" Genis and two political newcomers, attorney John Stephens and businessman Harold Weitzberg. They have the backing of CM4RG.
"Costa Mesa is at a crossroads. There are major, major issues," said Monahan, who was first elected to the council in 1994 and has run multiple times since then.
The current City Council majority has championed outsourcing as a potential money-saver and sent 19 city services out for bid. So far, the council approved four to be contracted out to private companies, six to be kept in-house and three to be some hybrid of in-house and outsourced.
Before it studied the feasibility of contracting, the council issued pink slips to more than 200 employees in March 2011. Officials said they were bound by labor contracts to give advance notice in case the employees lost their jobs.
The Costa Mesa City Employees Assn. sued, and a judge issued an injunction that has prevented the council from signing contracts with outside companies.
If they could finish the process, city officials say they could save more than $2 million annually.
"That money that we save can be put into improving our roads and our parks," Monahan said.
The CM4RG candidates are more wary of outsourcing. They say selling heavy machinery — street sweepers for example — could leave the city at the mercy of companies.
"If we make the wrong decision, and we sell our equipment, it's very hard to put the toothpaste back in the bottle," Stephens said.
Genis, who makes the same point about equipment, does support outsourcing jail services.
"If we could do that, and free up some of the personnel to do the other police functions, that would be a great way to go."

LEOPOLD – The Perry Central Marching Commodores will perform a show they call "Boxed In" this year, which features "all original music written for us," Music Director Rob Cason said Friday.
His 31 performers, only one of whom is a senior and over half of whom are seventh-graders, have performed at one football game so far, and "it went really well for being a very young group," he said. "It was better than our first game the last two years."
TELL CITY – Perry County's unemployment rate swelled by 1.1 percent in July as an enduring weak labor market left more local workers seeking jobs.
The Indiana Department of Workforce Development, in its report of July's unemployment data, said the county's jobless rate increased to 11.2 percent during the month, up from 10.1 percent in June and 9.9 percent in May.
July's county rate was more than twice the July 2008 rate of 5.1 percent.
TELL CITY – As part of the Tell City Street Maintenance Program, the city will be paving in the Hospital Road and Park Avenue areas, as well as, the Rolling Pines area Tuesday through Thursday. The paving of Park Avenue is in conjunction with the installation of curb and guttering along Park Avenue in the area of The Springs residential housing project.
Roadways will remain open during the paving process. However, the flow of vehicles will be limited to local traffic and delays may be experienced.
TELL CITY – The Big John Williams Memorial Poker Run will be Sept. 19 beginning at Braunie's Bar in Tell City. Sign in begins at 9 a.m. with all bikes out by 11 a.m. and back in by 4:30 p.m.
Cost is $15 with food included. All vehicles are welcome to participate in the event, where door prizes and a half-pot prize will be given away. Proceeds will go to the John Williams Memorial Scholarship. For more information call 547-8803 or 719-0176. Rain date is Sept. 20.
TELL CITY – Oakwood Health Campus will host a cooking class led by Chef Doug Zuelka. The first class is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29.
The menu consists of a seafood scampi appetizer, vine ripened beefsteak tomato and mozzarella salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and heirloom basil, followed by an entrée of chicken marsala atop whole-wheat noodles with fingerling baby carrots and topped off with a grilled lemon meringue cake. The class is $10 per person. Space is limited. For reservations or more information, call 547-2333.
TELL CITY – The Tell City post office will host a passport fair 8 to 11 a.m. Sept. 19. Anyone wanting to complete an application for a U.S. passport must bring a government-issued ID, such as a driver's license, and a copy of the person's birth certificate issued and certified by a county or state health department.
Applicants may provide photos or the post office can take the applicant's photo during the passport fair. Passport applications are available at the post office.
LEOPOLD – The 2009 Perry Central High School football Homecoming will be held Friday. The ceremony will be held at halftime of the Perry Central and West Washington game, which begins at 7 p.m.
Queen Candidates
Kelsie Bland of rural Tell City is the daughter of Melanie Robbins and Dan Zellers. Since being at Perry Central she has been involved in cheerleading, Natural Helpers, pep, key and German clubs, National Honor Society, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Upward Bound and yearbook staff.
At Wednesday's meeting of Perry County commissioners, several residents living on or near Girl Scout Road, joined by Girl Scout representatives and those of Recovery Connection Inc. gathered in the courthouse to share concerns about a proposed recovery home for substance abusers.
According to Randy Paris, a substance-abuse counselor at Branchville Correctional Facility and president of Recovery Connection Inc., the house on Girl Scout Road would allow men who have had drug and alcohol problems to live in a drug- and alcohol-free environment.
It's not often that a story moves me to near tears. But the one I ran across Wednesday of last week - about a group of volunteer student pallbearers - came close. The Ohio group's work, I think, offers local young people a chance to do something similar in carrying out one of the corporal works of mercy: that of burying the dead.
Editor's Note: Tell City physician William Marcrum hand-delivered this letter to Rep. Baron Hill last Monday during a meeting by Hill with health-care providers and hospital officials. Marcrum's letter is published as a guest column with his permission.
As a doctor who actually sees patients versus the physician theorists who have crafted the framework for H.R. 3200 (the health-care bill), I appreciate the opportunity to share a bit of my perspective on this multi-layered challenge.

Complete Oklahoma State staff salary breakdown
[dropcap]O[/dropcap]klahoma State's coaching staff will earn slightly more in 2013 than the 2012 staff.
According to figures obtained by the Tulsa World, each returning member of the Cowboy coaching staff, including head coach Mike Gundy, was given a raise.
The 2013 staff as a whole will earn slightly more ($54,000) than the 2012 staff, but $600,000 of last year's total was paid to Todd Monken, now the head coach at Southern Miss.
Monken's replacement Mike Yurcich was hired from D-II Shippensburg, and has been previously reported, will earn $400,000. Adjusting for the difference in offensive coordinator pay, the Cowboys' 2013 staff will earn $254,000 or 8.4 percent more than in 2012.
Glenn Spencer, who had the "co" removed from his defensive coordinator title, was given a raise of more than $100,000. He will earn $462,000 in 2013.
Previous defensive coordinator Bill Young earned $430,000 in 2012.
Veteran offensive line coach Joe Wickline also will have a salary of $462,000. He was paid $440,000 a year ago.
Third-year assistants Kasey Dunn (receivers) and Jemal Singleton (running backs) each received raises of $70,000, up to $280,000. Van Malone, who has been moved from safeties to cornerbacks for his second season at OSU, was given a $50,000 bump and will now make $260,000.
Salaries of the three other new hires are defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements $315,000, safeties coach Tim Duffie $275,000 and inside receivers coach Jason Ray $150,000.
Gundy received the biggest bump, an increase of nearly $200,000, from $3.275 million to $3.45 million.
Below is a look at the 2013 Oklahoma State coaching staff, their salary and what they earned in 2012:
- Mike Gundy, Head coach: $3.45 million ($3.275 million)
- Glenn Spencer, Defensive coordinator/Linebackers: $462,000 ($360,000)
- Mike Yurcich, Offensive coordinator/Quarterbacks: $400,000 ($52,500, Shippensburg)

Nex Flow Frigid-X
Sub-Zero Vortex Tool Cooling Mist System
The "NEW" Nex Flow Frigid-X
Sub Zero Vortex Tool Cooling Mist System,
is a unique patent pending mist unit designed
to improve machining operations requiring cooling
and/or lubrication when dry machining cannot
be used.
Unlike mist systems that supply liquid which
is not cooled, or more costly systems that cool
the liquid, the simple design of the Sub Zero
Vortex Tool Cooling Mist System, supplies
and cools the liquid to as low as 40ºF
(5ºC) using a small vortex tube without
any additional pumping system.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
This device can be used to locate
costly leaks in your compressed air system. Eliminating
compressed air leaks can recover a tremendous
amount of energy that can be used to operate all
types of nozzles, amplifiers and vortex tubes
with no added cost! Air savings means free energy.
An Ultrasonic Leak Detector (UDC) is typically
a hand-held device that is used to locate leaks
by aiming it in the direction of a suspected source
of an air leak. When a leak is present, then an
audible tone can be heard via the use of appropriate
Control System
All Nex Flow products are
designed to improve plant efficiency buy either
reducing the compressed air used while it is being
used, or in some way to reduce maintenance, or
in another way to improve productivity. But the
nice thing about compressed air is that this energy
comes from "storage" and can be called
upon only when needed. The Nex Flow PLC Flow Control
System (PLCFC) provides this on demand control.
It minimizes the use of compressed air on any
blow-off, cooling, conveying, drying or static
control system utilizing a photo electric sensor
to turn the air on and off as required.

Flow Meter
The X-Stream Air Flow Meter
represents a radical departure from conventional
air flow meter designs, providing easy installation,
low cost and accurate of the probes in the air
The air flow meter clamps around
a pipe with its probes projecting into the pipe
through drilled holes. The low cost of the air
flow meter makes it ideal for installation at
points throughout the air distribution system
to track valuable compressed air and assess system
Spot Cooler
Frigid-X Mini Spot Cooler
is a low cost and maintenance free system which
utilizes a vortex tube to produce cold air at
one end. It is quiet and compact.
Frigid-X Mini Spot Cooler
is designed for small parts and produces a stream
of 15 to 20 degree F (minus 9.5 to 7 degree C)
of cold air to prevent heat buildup depending
on inlet air temperature. It can improve tolerances
in maching of small critical parts and increase
production rates.
Cold air is directed using the flexible
tubing. A magnetic base is standard for portability
and easy mounting of the Frigid-X Mini Spot
Air Blowoff Gun
Many low cost air guns are sold
extensively throughout the world but do not necessarily
last. In addition they are not all safe to use
and may result in dangerous high dead end pressures.
Nex Flow
Safety Air Blowoff Guns are durable, safe and
comfortable to use incorporating our efficient
air nozzles and air jets to produce high output
air and "laminar" flow while minimizing
compressed air use and noise levels.

Getting to know Hello KittyUPDATED 6:21 PM HST Sep 01, 2014
Viewers were shocked to find out Hello Kitty wasn't a cat, so KITV-4 found out more about the beloved Sanrio character.Video Transcript
internet by storm last week -- that Hello Kitty-- is not really a cat... Turns out... There are a lot of things you might not know about the popular Sanrio character -- KITV4's Paul Drewes unlocks the Hello Kitty Secrets! Hello Kitty has been the cat's meow for the past forty years. Carrie@11:45 "its innocent, cute and fun" Some things about Hello Kitty haven't changed a bit in all those years, including her impact on kids and even some adults. mikayla@11:22 "I like her because she is just like normal friends" fay@24:42 "as an adult it takes you back to that time when you were a safe child and everything was simpler" Everything was also simpler when we believed hello Kitty was actually a cat. Even though she has a cat-like face, and whiskers ...she is no fancy feline. 10:51 "she's a little girl" sandee@3:45 "she is an animated character, she is not a pet" jessica@15:00 "that's what japanese culture is - they create human like characters out of animals" standup 27:45 "While some may be surprised to learn details about hello kitty, part of her appeal is she can be different things to different people" That includes her nationality. While she has fans around the world, especially in Asian countries, Hello Kitty is not Japanese but British. Sandee@:25 "she was created in japan but she lives in London" This little girl who has been a third grader all her life can now be found on all kinds of products, from school supplies to high-end fashion. She is even the main character at a pair of Japanese theme parks. But she likes the simple things. mikayla@9:35 "She has a sister mimmy and she likes apples" Speaking of fruity facts, Hello Kitty is around 5 apples tall and weighs about 3 apples. How'd you like those apples! At least Hello Kitty is still a Kitty. That's her first name -- Kitty White. She does have a pet cat named Charmy Kitty. Along with a pet hamster named Sugar and plenty of friends. sandee@3:20 "she is a friend, and everything they make has to do with friendship and sharing" jessica@15:13 "she's always being helpful, in the books we read she's a contributing citizen" Some fans may not know she likes to play tennis or make pancakes, they just like the way Hello Kitty makes them feel. fay@24:34 "when I see her, it makes me so happy but it also makes you forget about all the worries going on" It works! Now I no longer worry about this hello Kitty story turning into real cat-tastrophy. Paul Drewes KITV 4 news. The woman who sparked this international story is University of Hawaii anthropologist Christine Yano. She's actually the curator of next months Hello Kitty retrospective at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. Thanks for joining us for KITV4 News at Five.. You

SUWANEE -- Keeping track of what's going on in the classroom has never been easier for parents.
Tricia Kennedy, executive director of eCLASS Transformation with Gwinnett County Public Schools, said parents have got it good. They can see grades, instructional resources and digital learning materials through Parent Portal, Student Portal and, soon, eCLASS.
Parent and student portals, both of which can be accessed through the district's website, "are a valuable resource of information about your child and his or her academic career," Kennedy said.
With eCLASS, Kennedy added, "we're expecting to have even more of those resources available."
The new digital curriculum and instruction initiative by Gwinnett County Public Schools aims to move the district in a new direction with less paper and more online information.
While all GCPS facilities will eventually use eCLASS, 33 schools in the district are piloting the initiative. They include classrooms in the Archer, Berkmar, Duluth, North Gwinnett and Shiloh clusters.
A new electronic gradebook and attendance module, however, is available to all schools beginning on the first day of classes this year.
Teachers will be able to track and manage classroom data using browser-based technologies, which means they can enter grades from any location using a compatible device with Internet access.
The MYeCLASS student portal is also available to all schools in 2012-13. Using individual student login, students and their parents will have access to existing and new digital resources. More resources will be added over time.
To visit the parent or student portals or learn more about eCLASS, visit www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us.

Watermelon and Grades
So here in Japan, they have fun with watermelons. They blindfold a person, spin them around, and verbally guide them to a watermelon that they have to crack with a stick. The point is not to smash the watermelon, because you waste watermelon that way. It's just to crack it so that you have a cutting point for your knife. Yummy Watermelon. Funny people. mwahahah. Sticky hands.
On the other hand, we learned yesterday in UC Orientation that... you should never do what your Japanese classmates do. In Japan, grades for your Japanese classmates don't matter. There's no GPA, so they don't care if they get a C. On the other hand, that would be painful for us UC students. There was this story of a cocky UCB student who decided that he didn't need to go to classes. The entire grade was based on a final paper. Yet... when the final day came and he was to turn in his paper, his professor would not accept it. Evidently, there was this 4 letter word in Kanji that means assumed attendance. You have to attend classes. He'd missed 10/13 classes. He got an F. Professors here don't mind giving out Ds and Es (what we would say are Fs). It doesn't hurt the student here... but since everything transfers back... one would say that all you can do is cry if you're in that situation.

(Elgin) - "A person that's capable of doing that is capable of doing most anything," said Kershaw County Sheriff Steve McCaskill, who was stunned by the brutal murder of 19-year-old Josh Zoch.
He was discovered at his home around 6:30 PM Wednesday, by his girlfriend, who was concerned when he wouldn't answer her calls all day.
"Appeared that someone had gone through the house, gone through all the drawers, turned the matresses over as if they were looking for something," said Sheriff McCaskill.
But nothing from the house was missing. Found, however, was Zoch lying dead on the floor.
"The pathologist told us he died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head," said Sheriff McCaskill.
Investigators believe a baseball bat found at the house was the killer's weapon of choice.
"When someone beats someone to death with a baseball bat, you have got to really hate that individual or you're very scared of getting caught for what you have done and, like I say, there appears to be nothing taken from the house so we would have to say that this was a crime of passion," said Sheriff McCaskill, meaning that the two had to have known each other, which is why he doesn't think the man responsible is roaming the streets looking to strike again.
Zoch's girlfriend told News19 that she wants people to know he was a good person, he worked hard and he always took care of her. The two have been together for three years and met at Ridgeview High School.
If you know anything about Zoch's murder, call Crimestoppers at 1-888-559-TIPS.

%% Image moved to Anime subpage per Image Pickin' thread: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1323411691083240100
%% Please do not put image back on this page.
->You'd actually be attractive if you didn't have crazy eyes.
%% Quotes go on the Quotes/{{Yandere}} page.
The word "yandere", a term that blossomed in {{moe}} fandom, refers to a character who is [[LoveMakesYouCrazy crazy about someone else]]...[[AxCrazy often literally and violently]]. Despite the anime-inspired name, this type of character [[OlderThanDirt is much, much older than that]], as one of the [[UrExample earliest examples]] is the [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology Mesopotamian goddess]] Ishtar (Inanna).
Yanderes are usually identifiable by their [[DullEyesofUnhappiness blank eyes]] when they go crazy, [[DevilInPlainSight blood being soaked on them for the majority of their screentime]], carrying at least [[WeaponOfChoice one signature weapon]] that they use to kill and/or attack others for the majority of their screentime, a mostly {{Moe}} appearance or at least an [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon appearance that will deceive others]], psychotic behavior, and [[MurderTheHypotenuse a tendency to attack and/or kill people who would get in the way of his/her love]]. Many of them are AxCrazy. When on the Good Guys' team, they are often the TokenEvilTeammate.
The character almost always appears [[BewareTheNiceOnes perfectly cute and harmless]] on the surface... but underneath they may be [[StalkerWithACrush obsessive, controlling, and sometimes just plain insane]]. Woe to anyone who happens to be the object of their often genuine affection. Even more pity should be saved for anyone who [[GreenEyedMonster gets in the way]] -- the psycho-obsessive is [[MurderTheHypotenuse amazingly unwilling to put up with any rivals]] (but the rivals had it coming). There could be a long mental instability; the boy's/girl's always been [[DevilInPlainSight just a little bit off]]. Could be the [[BewareTheNiceOnes vicious product]] of BreakTheCutie. Often eventually goes off the deep end and becomes an AxCrazy [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon Boy With Psycho Weapon]]/GirlWithPsychoWeapon, and that's just fun. May also be NotGoodWithRejection. As a result, they are potentially [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant scary]].
Such characters are [[AlwaysFemale mostly female]], but male examples exist.
Compare with the ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend, who can become AxCrazy when the love interest is in danger, but is otherwise MUCH more stable mentally. See also LivingEmotionalCrutch for a reason why she goes from affectionate to murderous.
More details are available on the [[Analysis/{{Yandere}} Analysis page]], such as its history and its appeal.
Part of the ''dere'' family along with {{Tsundere}} (unapproachable outside, sweet inside), or sub groups; {{Kuudere}} (cold outside, sweet inside), and {{Dandere}} (asocial outside, sweet inside). However, those are all sweet inside, while the Yandere is sweet outside, crazy inside. Also compare CuteAndPsycho, who is also sweet and crazy, but whose craziness ''isn't'' tied to love.
See also ClingyJealousGirl, her SpearCounterpart CrazyJealousGuy, LoveMakesYouEvil, LoveMakesYouCrazy, StalkerWithACrush, DomesticAbuser, ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend, and IfICantHaveYou. Compare StepfordSmiler and PsychoSupporter. May God have mercy on you if you are caught in a PsychoticLoveTriangle (a love triangle with two members being [=Yanderes=]).Contrast with BitchInSheepsClothing, in which a character is consciously using the illusion of purity and niceness to cover up a sadistic true nature (though a BISC ''can'' become a [=Yandere=] if we add mental instability to the mix). At the extreme, ALoveToDismember can occur. Due to their often violent nature, they are likely to be TheUnfettered. The more savage examples also very likely to be FauxAffablyEvil. Don't confuse with ''Manga/YandereKanojo'', a manga which surprisingly doesn't involve actual yandere (except for one case, in which the victim had it coming. It ends well, though).
One may be compelled to wonder why the object of their affections [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim doesn't just shoot them.]]
It should be noted that while many below listed examples are drama and horror ones, this trope is not exclusively PlayedForDrama. It might just as well be PlayedForLaughs through ComedicSociopathy and[=/=]or BlackComedy as it is for drama or horror.

- How to Read a Study Record
GV-TH-01 is an open label Phase 1 study of 9 HIV-1 infected adults with suppressed viremia who started anti-retroviral therapy (ART) within 18 months of a negative HIV antibody test. This study has 3 phases. The first phase is the vaccination phase, where patients are vaccinated with pGA2/JS7 (JS7)DNA and MVA62B vaccines on a prime/boost regimen. The second phase of the study is a treatment interruption phase, whereby ART is interrupted for a 12 week period approximately 8 weeks following the last vaccination. The third phase occurs after the 12 week treatment interruption phase and is called the treatment reinstitution phase, because subjects reinstitute ART and are followed for an additional 24 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the vaccines during the three phases of the study. A secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity of the vaccines during the vaccination phase of the study.

House Republicans again will try to avert deep military spending cuts, Oklahoma lawmakers say
Carney said last week that the president has offered numerous deficit-reduction proposals, including cuts and revenue raising steps.
Furlough days
The $1 trillion in cuts — known as the sequester — are the result of the deal made in 2011 to raise the debt ceiling. The cuts are spread out over 10 years, with the military bearing about half and the rest hitting other government departments and agencies.
If they go into effect March 2 as scheduled, the military and other departments will have to make immediate and deep cuts. Lankford said the military would have to cut 8 percent out of its budget over just a few months.
An analysis prepared for Sen. Jim Inhofe last week warned that the cuts could lead to widespread furloughs at Oklahoma's three Air Force bases, its Army post and Army ammunition depot. Moreover, according to the Republican staff analysis, maintenance at Tinker's massive repair center would be dramatically scaled back, and training at all of the other bases would be curtailed.
Pentagon officials have made similar warnings, saying some civilians could be subject to 22 furlough days between March and Oct. 1.
Lankford said the Pentagon was planning for the worst but that the military has "unobligated" money in accounts that it can draw from to lessen the pain.
"At the end of the day, they're not going to furlough at those levels," he said.
Inhofe, R-Tulsa, who is working to prevent the deep cuts to the military, also has authored legislation to help the Pentagon if the cuts do occur. His bill would allow Pentagon leaders to shift money among their many accounts so they can better manage the reductions.
Cole said, "I agree with Senator Inhofe. I think his approach in giving more flexibility to the military will find favor with House Republicans."
Cole said most of the focus has been on the military but that other agencies important to Oklahoma also will be hit, including the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Indian Health Service.
"I would prefer this not to happen," he said. "But we have to get serious about deficit reduction."

Whirlpool Corp. says extensive soil tests show no evidence of illegal dumping or widespread contamination in an area of northern Ohio where children were among dozens of people who have been sickened in a cancer cluster.
Lawsuit filed against Whirlpool Corp. in Clyde, Ohio's child cancer cluster case
CLYDE, Ohio - Lawyers in Ohio have filed a $750 million class action lawsuit against Whirlpool Corp. that's related to a child cancer cluster between Toledo and Cleveland.
The lawsuit filed Thursday attempts to link Whirlpool and others to the cancer cluster, though the children's families aren't involved.
The U.S. EPA has said high levels of a chemical believed to increase the risk of certain cancers were found in soil samples from a former park Whirlpool once owned near the town of Clyde. Whirlpool has a washing machine factory in Clyde.
The findings didn't link the contaminants with the cancer cluster.
Benton Harbor, Mich.-based Whirlpool hasn't been directly connected to the chemical found in the tests. A statement from the company says it also wants to figure out the facts behind the issue.

Colorado School of Mines professors turning garbage into glass
Breakthrough could reduce mining, landfill use
GOLDEN, Colo. - Dr. Ivan Cornejo, a professor at the Colorado School of Mines, was thinking about how we throw away many things which can be reused again.
"In the future I see that the way of disposing wastes has to be different than the way that we do it today," he said.
So Cornejo, who was the research director at Corning of the project that created Gorilla Glass, began looking at a way to re-purpose garbage.
What he came up with was a way to turn a lot of waste into the raw components to make glass.
"We found we have almost everything we need to make regular glass," he said.
And not just regular soda-lime glass, the type of glass used in windows. But high-quality glass that could be used for making Gorilla Glass, the glass that is used in all smartphones and tablets.
"If you take peanut shells for example, the yield of the minerals is quite high," Cornejo said.
Cornejo said they have discovered that also corn husks, rice husks, banana peels and avocado peels all possess the silica and other necessary ingredients in making glass.
He said where the research is taking them now is to make it economically attractive and to find new garbage sources.

Rain chances will be low Monday in Central Florida, but it will be a scorcher.
"Southwest winds will bring the west coast sea breeze inland, with a few isolated storms Monday afternoon," Local 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. "Rain chances will only be at 20 percent."
Temperatures, however, will heat quickly to 96 degrees, but it will feel like 105 at times.
Rain chances return to 50 percent on Tuesday, with a high of 95 degrees.
Meanwhile, a new area of low pressure will get more organized in the next few days in the Atlantic. The low pressure center is still southwest of the Cape Verde Islands.
"As it moves west, it will have more moist air to work with," Bridges said. "The hurricane center says there's a 70 percent chance for development in the next five days."

The National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Lai Mohammed, tells ALLWELL OKPI in that the party's recent press briefing was not targeted at the founder of Oodua Peoples Congress, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun
In an interview with us, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun accused you of carrying out propaganda against him, by saying the pipeline contract, which his organisation applied for, would be used by President Goodluck Jonathan to destabilise the South-West. What's your reaction to this?
What we said in our press conference was that the Federal Government has embarked on policies to make elections in 2015 impossible. And we said one of the policies is their plan to award a multi-billion naira contract for the protection of oil pipelines in the South-West and that the proceeds from that contract will be used to fund a political party, which will destabilise the South-West. And Dr. Fasehun has confirmed our story. He has admitted that he actually applied for the contract and that he has been interviewed and he has made several representations. Are you asking us to wait for him to be awarded the contract, and for him to start destabilising the polity before we start crying out? We said in the press conference that the Federal Government is trying to destablise the polity and escalate violence everywhere. And we gave an example that a contract for the maintenance and protection of oil pipelines will be given to a particular organisation and incidentally the beneficiary of that contract is the same person who wants to resuscitate the Unity Party of Nigeria. Have we not been proven right? Didn't he say that he is resuscitating UPN and didn't he say he applied for that contract? We stand by our story.
By reacting this way to his plan to resuscitate UPN, is ACN not being undemocratic, considering that it took over South-West, which was controlled by the People Democratic Party?
If you read my press release, you will see it there that we said every Nigerian has the right to associate with any political group. But what we will not accept is Jonathan funding a political association via a bogus contract to disturb another political party; that is what we said. How many political parties do we have in Nigeria? We have over 50. Who is bothered about UPN or any party they want to float? But they are not going to use our common wealth to fund a political party that will be used to destabilise the polity. Of course, everybody has the right to form any political party he likes, but it should not be funded by the Federal Government through bogus contracts.
How did you arrive at the N2.4bn per month figure, which you allegedly quoted as the approved sum for the contract?
We did not mention any figure in our press conference. We simply said a multi-billion naira contract. And of course, you must give us some credit that we also have some sources in government. But he admitted that he applied for the contract, so what again do you want? Are we then lying? And we never said that he has been paid. We said there is a plan to give him a contract and that through this contract he is going to fund UPN; that is what we said. So, where is the contradiction?
Dr. Fasehun also said he was floating UPN because ACN has only reflected Awoism by donning of Awolowo's style of cap and spectacles.
We will not be drawn into such argument. Let the people judge ACN by whether its policies have been people-friendly or not. Let Nigerians judge us by what we have put on the ground in the years that we have been in government. The issue of Awoism goes beyond the caps. It goes beyond glasses. It goes beyond shoes. People are not voting for us based on whether we are wearing a particular type of glasses or a particular type of caps or not. People are voting for us on the basis of what we have been able to do: Urban renewal, improvement of infrastructure,improvement of the education system, etc. Nobody has voted for us because we wear round glasses or round caps.
But then the argument is that ACN is jittery over the emergence of UPN, because it has not done well in the area of catering for the welfare of the Yoruba?
That is laughable. We have been on the ground in Lagos in the past 12 years. He is welcome to the arena. Let's see how many votes he is going to garner. How can you start thinking that ACN will be afraid of a party that is just coming in, when the Peoples Democratic Party that is sponsoring it has not been able to make headway in the South-West? Let them come with any party they want to come with. It is laughable for him to say ACN is afraid. Do they think Nigerians are fools? Let them come by whatever name they choose. We are not afraid of any political party coming into the South-West.
Do have anything personal against Fasehun or the Oodua Peoples Congress?
In everything I told you, is there anything that looks personal? We held a press conference in which we mentioned at least four things that the Federal Government is trying to use to destabilise the polity. We spoke about the people who are blocking the registration of the All Progressives Congress. We spoke about the scare-mongering the government is embarking upon. We asked what the difference is between the present government and the terrorists that were arrested in Lagos. Did you think the press conference was solely on that contract? Was there any where we mentioned Fasehun in the press conference? I face facts and issues. I don't deal with emotion. I've tried to establish that we have made much more stringent criticism of government based on facts. And so far, Fasehun has only confirmed what we have said. He said he applied for the contract but it has not been given to him. The information we got is establishing a relationship between the contract and the UPN he is trying to resuscitate. Tell me where we have lied. It would have been different if he had said he never applied for such contract. For crying out loud, why should I be against Dr. Fasehun or OPC? When the Federal Government awarded the contract for the protection of pipelines in the Niger Delta to Global West, Tompolo's company, we criticised it. Nobody said it was personal. This is not about Fasehun or OPC. We are more concerned about national security. If he says the contract has not been given to him; that is not our own information. If the contract has not been given to him, all well and good. We are not bothered about who gets that contract. Our concern is that whoever gets that contract should not use it to destabilise the country; that is what we are saying. They are trying to confuse issues. The fact is that we are not interested in whether they form a party or not. That is not the issue. But you can't form a party and the Federal Government will be using state fund to fund your party, use it to destabilise the South-West and destroy all we have done so far. I repeat; we stand by our story. We stand by every word in the story. We have not lied because even by his own admission, he said they applied for the contract and they have actually been interviewed several times.

Obama says FBI nominee Comey will balance privacy, security
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On June 21, 2013 @ 3:54 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
Steve Holland
June 21, 2013
In nominating Jim Comey to be the next FBI director on Friday, President Barack Obama said the former Justice Department official will help strike a balance between the need for information on terrorist plots and respecting Americans' privacy.
The need for such balance has been brought to the fore recently with the disclosure that the U.S. government has conducted vast surveillance of Americans' phone and internet data in its search for foreign terrorism plots.
Obama used the example of a tumultuous episode from Comey's past to promote the Republican. Comey had famously refused to certify the legal aspects of National Security Agency domestic surveillance during a 2004 stint as acting attorney general while then-Attorney General John Ashcroft was hospitalized with pancreatitis.
