Photo: A now-unclassified CIA spy satellite photo of Arctic ice like the ones shared with climate scientists through the now-revived MEDEA program.
A little-known program run by the CIA that gave a select group of environmental scientists access to classified data during the 1990s has been restarted after being closed for several years by the Bush administration, the New York Times reported Monday.
The data include thousands of high-resolution images taken by spy satellites that scientists couldn't get access to without the program.
The data sharing began in the early '90s and has now been revived in part because of a constellation of officials who were present then and are now back serving in the more environmentally friendly Obama administration. These officials clearly understand that climate change must be considered a potential national security threat.
That list is topped by current CIA Director Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and former Vice President Al Gore -- men who have worked together on issues of national security and the environment for two decades.
His interest in the sea provided Panetta with an introduction to the threat of global warming. "The oceans are the first victim" of climate change, he told me in a 2008 phone interview, and he was quick to see the potentially destabilizing influence of global warming on national security.
Among the original researchers who benefited from the data sharing was climatologist James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies. Hansen was a member of the Environmental Task Force created in October 1992. (It was later renamed the Measurements of Earth Data for Environmental Analysis program, or MEDEA.)
Contacted Tuesday by email, Hansen said the program was helpful in "a few instances. ...For example the information that nuclear submarines provided on sea ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean several decades ago, before there were research measurements."
Hansen felt constrained, though, by the restrictions that came along with the information. Like other scientists, the climatologist was allowed to use information, but not disseminate it. Hansen told journalist Robert Dreyfus in 1995 that "I would hope that things do become more open."
Any prospect of a CIA/science glasnost collapsed when President George W. Bush shuttered the program in 2001 for unknown reasons. (As Times' reporter William Broad wrote, diplomatically, in Monday's article, Bush "developed a reputation for opposing many kinds of environmental initiatives.")
While it was operating, MEDEA scientists produced at least a dozen classified reports using agency data to identify wetlands, calculate glacier loss, and predict volcanic eruptions.
University of Washington professor Norbert Untersteiner, a member of the current program, told Broad that the satellite images are "really useful" in his work studying Arctic ice.
In 1992, then-U.S. Sen. Al Gore contacted the individual who President George H.W. Bush had picked to lead the CIA, to discuss the possibility of sharing classified data to help determine the effects of global warming. That man was Robert Gates.
Gates told Robert Dreyfuss that MEDEA "owes its existence to two people: then-Senator Al Gore, whose idea it was, and me, who said yes."
The program continued when Gore became vice president in 1993 with the support of then-CIA Director James Woolsey. Woolsey is an outspoken advocate of energy independence, who has called for a phase-out of oil on national security grounds and was also an early supporter of Gore's call for action on climate change.
In 1994, Gore and Panetta worked closely together when President Bill Clinton named Panetta his chief of staff. Panetta left that post in 1997 and soon became immersed (so to speak) in marine issues, first as head of the Pew Ocean Commission and then as co-chair of the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative.
Both bodies stressed the importance of fighting climate change to maintain ocean health and regional stability.
The MEDEA program was terminated in 2001 -- when Panetta, Gore and Gates were all outside of government. Gates was brought back as Secretary of Defense under Bush in late 2006, a position he has kept in the Obama administration. That set the stage for MEDEA's return, as well.
According to Broad's article in the Times, Al Gore began lobbying California Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 2008 for her help in reinstating the MEDEA program. Feinstein became chair of the powerful Senate Intelligence Committee in early 2009. Panetta returned to Washington last February when he was tapped by President Obama to lead the CIA.
With Gates at the Pentagon, Panetta at CIA, and Gore lobbying through Congress, the MEDEA program was quietly re-launched. More publicly, the CIA announced in September that it was opening a Center for the Study of Climate Change.
"Decision makers need information and analysis on the effects climate change can have on security," Panetta was quoted in a CIA press release. "The CIA is well positioned to deliver that intelligence."
In mid-December, NPR's Tom Gjelten reported that for the first time, the next Quadrennial Defense Review, an assessment of national security threats published by the Pentagon, would include different worst-case scenarios based on climate change.
And now, with the Times story, comes word that the MEDEA program is operational once again.Despite disappointment over the United Nations' failure to produce a binding international treaty at the Copenhagen climate summit last month, and regardless of what the United States Senate decides to do about global warming, there is at least movement on the issue in what many would have considered the unlikeliest of places: the Pentagon and the CIA.

As someone who was caught out by the climate scam until I finally went and looked at the evidence - and then was convinced when I found out about climategate - I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some lunatic in the CIA decides that they must start monitoring people like me for my outrageous suggestion that like WMD - we should base policy on evidence and not the gut instinct of people like Blair who don't know the first thing about science.
All the thousands of peer-reviewed scientific articles documenting climate change, the potential for continuing change and its implications for humanity are a scam? No, rather the scam is the drum beat of denial that is obstructing constructive action, without peer-reviewed evidence to back up the opinions. Climategate is just a convenient media frenzy that does nothing to undermine the actual science. Read the 2007 IPCC reports.
Tony, you really need to review some of the articles by Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick. The 'Hockey Stick' model has been proven to be bad science and you still reference the IPC.
Bad (unreliable) proxy data and cherry picked data equals bad science. As far as AGW, correlation does not constitute causation.
Tony, you should really take a look at all the evidence, read the emails, just make an informed decision! You wouldn;t drive a car without first look all the makes and models would you?
People who tend to post without looking at all the evidence seem to make fools of themselves, at least if you still disagree you would be able to have a good debate on these boards! I know it is difficult, I myself believed!
Unbelievable. It is hard to understand why some people still think that there is a debate about AGW. Do they think that all the scientists would not be overjoyed to suddenly find out that they were wrong? Every time a new study was undertaken to show that it couldn't possibly as bad as we thought, it turned out to be worse. All the old chestnuts of 'it's the sun' 'glaciers are growing' 'the hockey stick is wrong' 'heating leads CO2 rise' etc etc are well evaluated and answered. Realclimate.com is where the science hangs out. CO2science.com and friendsofscience.com is where the rants hang out
I don't engage in the "is AGW real or not?" argument anymore, and here's why: http://thephoenixsun.com/archives/4219
mg, Like I said, show me your science? I too believed in AGW before knowing all the facts! I will give you an example. I recently built a new home, I spent 3 times as much on a high efficiency heating system, and I positioned my home to take advantage of sunlight for lighting heating and cooling, also placing the windows for added light! added extra insulation far beyond what any government recommendations. I also drive a 1992 Mazda 5 speed with special tires to increase gas mileage, now it exceeds what some hybrids get in gas mileage!
But I see problems with the hockey stick, I see the lies about the icecaps, the reports show extreme melting but nsidc in Boulder says During December 2009, ice extent grew at an average of 68,000 square kilometers (26,000 square miles) per day. Sea ice extent increased at a fairly steady rate throughout the month, staying slightly above the levels observed in December 2007. Which means it is low but growing, the same report last month for November, I do look at every aspect, not just one side, take a look at the evidence from deniers viewpoint also, yes they to exaggerate at times also but the science fraud on both sides need to stop now! I want to hear the truth for once!
Skeptics say humans do not make a difference, warmers scream doom and gloom, I say yes we hurt the climate but I think other factors besides CO2 is causing the changes such as nitrous oxide which from farming is a greater threat! The CO2 conclusion is just a scheme to let companies pay to pollute, still doing as much damage to the earth and letting third world countries starve!
Osha, Here is another reason I feel the way I do about AGW. Here is one of the most honest journalist I have ever ran across.
Take a look at this article, and you might feel the need to read al of his articles as I did. He honestly says up front I am a liberal Democrat and my first priority is humanity! I read your article!
Mike Haseler, do you really think you found the truth from the extreme right's croaking about "climategate"?
Why do you not, instead, read what sources like RealClimate and Newsweek says? You see, they are not bent on lying, like the UN-hating right wingers.
I agree with Tony, this so called climate gate issue has been blown out of all proportion by the media and is being exaggerated by the climate deniers. Or perhaps I should call them climate hoaxers as human made climate change is real and happening now.
There is no science behind the theory that there will be a catastrophe if CO2 levels continue to rise. Nor is there any science that says that man-made CO2 contributions will create any temperature change.
Yes CO2 has gone up. Yes man creates CO2 emissions. Yes the temperature has gone up since the little ice age.
That's all settled science.
ANYTHING beyond that is not even in the realm of science.
ALL of the models that have been created use PROXY data. That PROXY data does not match the real temperature data (once real temperatures are available). That is a BIG issue.
But assuming the data isn't flawed - the models created do not PREDICT climate change with any accuracy - nor do they (or can they) predict any catastrophes.
But it doesn't matter to the religious fervor that CONSUMES the climate-change global warming folk.
Simply because their heroes KNOW they are not using science as we know it. They are using what their behind-the-scenes philosophers have labeled "Post-Normal Science."
Look it up.
It's simply an Orwellian way to call what they do science when in fact it's a form of politics.
In 1992 and 1993 Silvio O. Funtowicz and Jerome R.
Ravetz wrote the following papers:
The good, the true and the postmodern (1992)
Science for the post-normal age (1993)
These laid out the concept of post-normal science.
Here's Ravetz on climate change models:
"…but if they are not predictors, then what on earth
are they? The models can be rescued only by being
explained as having a metaphorical function, designed
to teach us about ourselves and our perspectives under
the guise of describing or predicting the future states
of the planet…A general recognition of models as
metaphors will not come easily. As metaphors, computer
models are too subtle…for easy detection. And those who
created them may well have been prevented…from being
aware of their essential character."
I see then. I was mistaken to think that climate-change models should predict something. Forgive me. They're METAPHORS.
Got it.
But should you just think this crazy philosopher holds this view then maybe you should look at Mike Hulme.
You know Mike Hulme -
Founding director of Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia (UEA), co-ordinating Lead Author for the chapter on 'Climate scenario development' for the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC, as well as a contributing author for several
other chapters... amongst other things.
Let's see what Mike Hulme has to say:
"It has been labelled "post-normal" science. Climate
change seems to fall in this category. Disputes in
post-normal science focus... on the process of science –
who gets funded, who evaluates quality, who has the ear
of policy…The IPCC is a classic example of a post-
normal scientific activity."
"The danger of a "normal" reading of science is that it
assumes science can first find truth, then speak truth
to power, and that truth-based policy will then
follow…exchanges often reduce to ones about scientific
truth rather than about values, perspectives and
political preferences."
"...'self-evidently' dangerous climate change will not
emerge from a normal scientific process of truth-
seeking…scientists – and politicians – must trade truth
for influence. What matters about climate change is not
whether we can predict the future with some desired
level of certainty and accuracy."
There are DOZENS more quotes like this, but the bottom
line is that when someone like Hulme talks about
"science" he's saying something far different than what
we normally consider science.
What I think is truly brilliant is that rather than
create a new word for what these "scientists" are doing the social philosophers came up with a new term that INCLUDES the
word "science."
The power of propaganda to propagate the faith.
The science of climate change is pretty basic: humans dig up fossilized carbon to fuel power plants and internal combustion machines, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Result: greenhouse effect global heating. Around 50% of all the species on the planet are predicted to become extinct by 2100 in the CO2-as-usual model. Our own species will face drought, famine, rising tides, soaring temperatures, calamity and chaos. Hundreds of millions will become climate refugees. Billions may die from starvation, genocide and war. We have precious little time to mitigate this looming global catastrophe.
Those of us still denying the depressing facts are either tragically stupid or profoundly corrupt or both.
Victor - Thanks for that Al Gore-like scientistic summary.
You must be some scientist since you think climate science is so simple. For a "science" that's in it's infancy and which contains an enormous amount of variables it's always comforting when someone comes along with as much faith and conviction as you do.
Praise Gaia!
Temperature is driven by Solar activity and high charged cosmic radiation hitting the upper atmosphere creating or declining cloud cover which effect the amount of sea water that evaporates which in turn effects the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. This is primarily what drives temperature. And you can verify this because it IS A FACT that a temperature increase results in higher carbon release not the other way around. Let me repeat, first comes temperature increase then come carbon release. You all need to understand that fundamental fact.

A grandmother used a toy horse to fend off a robber in her Washington, DC home Tuesday.
Catherine Turton moved there to take care of three grandchildren last year after their mother, lobbyist Ashley Turton, died in a bizarre garage fire.
One of the kids spotted the intruder Tuesday morning.
Turton went downstairs and saw the burglar with an armful of her belongings, so she grabbed the kids' hobby horse and confronted the intruder.
"He grabbed my hair and pulled my neck, pulled my head over and shouted obscenities at me, and I recovered and said, 'Now, put the stuff down!'"Turton said.
Turton was able to push the man out of the house.
Police found him hiding behind a car around the corner and arrested him.

>> WGAw and IFP/West Create Indie Writers Caucus
(indieWIRE: 10.23.02) -- The Writers Guild of America (West) and IFP/West
have partnered to create the Independent Writers Caucus, a new organization
whose goal is to nurture new talent in the independent screenwriting community.
In a prepared statement, Howard Rodman, co-chair of the Independent Caucus, explained the goal of the IWC: "For years, there's been a robust community of
independent filmmakers who wrote, but never quite considered themselves
'writers' and a community of professional screenwriters who did strong
individual work outside the studio system, but who never quite had a place
to go as 'independents.' Now those two communities can join together and
accomplish things that neither could on its own."
The first meeting of the IWC was held on Thursday, October 10 at the WGA
headquarters in Los Angeles and was attended by over 100 filmmakers as well
as emerging writers from a number of established industry screenwriting
The IWC hopes to increase the number of writer/filmmaker memberships in the
WGA, provide guild benefits, and use WGA agreements to expand writers'
coverage. "The Writers Guild is not just another Hollywood bureaucracy to
be avoided;" commented Rodman, "the guild is here to help you get your voice
up there on the screen." [Caroline Wells]
[Information on the IWC, eligibility requirements and applications can
be found at www.wga.org or by calling the WGAw's Independent Film Program
at (323) 782-4511.

The earliest apes evolved around twenty million years ago, yet Homo sapiens has existed for a mere 160,000 years. In the intervening period, dozens of species of early ape and human have lived and died out, leaving behind the fossilized remains that have helped to make the detailed picture of our evolution revealed here. Since this book was first published in 2005 there have been exciting new developments in the story of ape and human evolution, and the authors take account of them in this revised edition. The big gap in the fossil record in Africa is beginning to be filled with the discovery of several new species of apes in Kenya and Ethiopia that date from ten to nine million years ago. There are new discoveries of Australopithecus, updates on the dating of hominin sites, results of new DNA analyses, and much more. Illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and reconstruction drawings, this is essential reading for anyone interested in human origins.

With three funny ladies in contention for the part, there was no doubt whoever landed it would be good for the role, it was just a matter of who it wound up being.
According to Deadline, Anna Faris has beaten out Kristen Wiig and "Community" star Gillian Jacobs for the female lead opposite Sacha Baron Cohen in his forthcoming "The Dictator." Faris is now in talks for the role -- which will require heavy improvising -- of an owner of an organic food store and love interest in the film. Cohen will play dual parts as both a goat herder and a deposed foreign dictator who gets lost in the United States. His encounter with Faris will begin to soften his dictatorial heart. While we would've preferred Wiig, we think Faris has the chops to stand toe-to-toe with Cohen. It will also be interesting to see the actor play against another thesp since to date, his comedies -- "Borat," "Bruno" and "Da Ali G Show" -- have mostly found their laughs by having him befuddle ordinary folks.
Faris joins Ben Kingsley and Jason Mantzoukas in the film that will be directed by Larry Charles and will start lensing this month. "The Dictator" will hit theaters on May 11, 2012.

Grow up johnny, I've made some valid points, which is evident from your sarcastic reply. I actually stated in my first post that my concern wasn't just about OS X but about new OS's in general. Although this new batch will likely make no difference to audio production its an indication of where development is going. Just ask Final Cut X users how they like their new iMovie version.

KIDAPAWAN CITY – A soldier was killed Tuesday when his group clashed with a group of communist guerillas in the hinterlands of Barangay Cabilao in Makilala town in North Cotabato.
1/Lt. Nasrullah Sema, chief civil military operations of the 57th Infantry Battalion, identified the slain trooper as Sgt. Arnold Vigo of Bravo Company of the 57th IB.
Sema said Vigo and his troops were conducting patrol operations in the area after the New Peoples' Army (NPA) rebels torched the rubber processing plant of the Standard Rubber Development Corporation (Standeco) in nearby Barangay Talun-talunan, also in Makilala, when they encountered the guerillas and engaged them in a firefight that lasted for hours.
Vigo was seriously wounded and expired a few hours later after he was treated at a nearby hospital in Kidapawan City, Sema said.
As this developed some 80 families from four sitios in Barangay Cabilao evacuated to safer areas when government troops and communist guerillas traded fires, around 4:30 p.m., Tuesday.
Of the 80 families, at least 30 were temporarily housed at the barangay hall, while others have sought shelter in their relatives and friends' homes in the village center, reports said.
Kagawad Armando Laman of Barangay Cabilao said the evacuees come from sitios Lamudon, Eden, Medang, and Badiangon, all hinterland sitios of Barangay Cabilao. Laman said the fighting has caused so much trouble among farmers and rubber tappers in the village.
"Our farmers, who have depended so much on their farm for them to survive, were prevented from tilling their lands because the tension between the AFP and the NPA is still high," said Laman. (Malu Cadelina Manar)

I have grown up with Windows and use it still today, I have been into out local Apple store a few times and do like some of they pc's.
The question is this, What I notice any difference if I changed to a Mac ? and what wold they be?
I use my pc for editing photos using photoshop, I browse the internet everyday and sometimes use it for writing letters.

As I drive down the street where I live in Havana each day, it's easy to tell which neighbors have better things to do than mow their lawns.
Some folks mow their lawns religiously. I haven't seen them do it, but I suspect they use a ruler to make sure the grass the perfect height. I'd even be willing to bet some of them use a level to make sure it's all even.
East Gadsden High School Jaguar football players Antwan Matthews and Wiley Williams recently attended the Nick Saban Crimson Tide Football Camp at the University of Alabama.
Williams, serving as a running back in his junior year, said, "The experience can only help me to improve, and I'm glad I had the chance to go."
Matthews, also a junior last year, said, "They really put you to the test with some very intense training, and I accomplished a lot."
The Lord does provide. In the past week or so I have experienced the Lord's help and assistance in several ways. He has been beside me, as He has so many times in the past, and I am humbly grateful.
As my beloved readers may know, my wife Judy and I have been very busy with the business of settling her mother's affairs and doing our best to prepare her Wacissa home and 10 acres for occupancy.

• Thomas Memorial Baptist Church announces the Personal Fitness Challenge, a six-week program for children who have completed grades three through six. The challenge will be Monday afternoons from 2:30-4:30 p.m. through Aug. 10. Sessions will be held in the TMBC Recreation Center, 1111 West Washington St., Quincy.
Last week a call came into the office from retired reporter Jack Nelson, who lives in Bethesda, Md. He wanted to ask a few questions regarding a letter he received from an East Washington Street address in Quincy. The letter informed Nelson that he was the winner of a $50,000 lottery. And just to show they were on the up and up, a check made out to Nelson in the amount of $985 was enclosed.
I've heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. I have no idea if that is true or not. We grew up out at the end of Stonewall Street. The blacktop ended up at the hill in front of Paul David Campbell's house. You had to crunch the gravel beneath your feet to get on out to us.
I've been experimenting over the past week. I decided to drive the speed limit. No pushing the limit, no the-cops-won't-notice-if-I-go-a-mile-or-two-over attitude...none of that. I've driven the speed limit wherever I've gone, no excuses.
Don't get me wrong – I'm as guilty as the next person of pushing the speed limit. When I've run late, I've driven faster than I should. I admit it. But this past week, I decided to do the right thing.
And it's been a real education.
It has been a long time ago since I was in school, and there have been a lot of changes. In my opinion, some of those changes have made things better and some have not.
One Valentine's Day we grew weary of the same old "Be Mine Forever" cards, the same old chocolate and the same old girls. Our town was fairly small. Me and Ricky, Yogi, Don and Buddy had been swapping cards with Jane, LaRenda, Graylene, Pam and Ruth Ann since the first grade. Miss Carolyn demanded it. Miss Dorothy, the next year, quoted her verbatim. And then Miss Belle and Miss Dinwiddie...well, you can see our problem.
Kids do gross stuff. That's just the way it is. I believe, in fact, it's a part of the kid creed they're handed at birth.
My 3-year-old niece, Amanda, is no exception. I got an e-mail from my brother (her dad) last week that proved that although my niece is a prissy, pink-loving, lip-gloss-snitching girlie-girl, she also has a gross side.

At some point in our lives, it is believed that in every twenty people, one will develop a kidney stone. So, what are the causes of kidney stones? Well, there are plenty of reasons why kidney stones are formed in both men and women.
Volume of Urine is decreased: A reduction in the volume of urine together with the presence of stone-forming substances in excess in the urine can result to formation of kidney stones. The chemical which is most often present in kidney stones is calcium with either phosphate or oxalate. Formation of kidney stone can also result due to chemical compounds like amino acid cystine and uric acid.
Dehydration: This can happen because of less fluid intake resulting to increase risk for kidney stones. Moreover, kidney stones will form due to insufficient replacement of fluid which can lead to sweating while performing strenuous exercises.
Some Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions that can cause an increased risk for developing kidney stones are:
• Gout causing an increased amount of uric acid in the urine. This can lead to the formation of uric acid stones.
• Presence of high calcium in the urine or hypercalciuria which is a hereditary disease resulting to formation of stones. Calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate stones are formed when excess of calcium is absorbed from food and then excreted into the urine.
• Kidney stones are also possible due to kidney diseases like inherited metabolic conditions such as cystinuria and renal tubular acidosis.
• Those who suffer from chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension have increased risk for the development of this condition.
• Individuals who previously had an intestinal bypass are more likely to develop kidney stones and also those with inflammatory bowel diseases.
Medication: Some medications such as Topiramate which is a drug frequently prescribed for the treatment of seizures and migraine headaches will increase the risk for the development of kidney stones. Formation of kidney stones is also possible due to medications like some drugs used in treating HIV related infection, calcium-containing acids and diuretics.
Other causes of kidney stones are:
• Diets which are low in calcium but with high protein content
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Obesity and increase in weight
• Men are more likely to have kidney stones than women
• Individuals between thirty to fifty years old are more susceptible to it.
• Positive family history of kidney stones or the risk of kidney stones is hereditary
• In the past, kidney stones developed
• It is thought that Caucasians are more frequently affected when compared to any other race.

As work around the nation is still on hold this morning as everyone gathers around the water cooler/coffee machine/printer/Dan's office to talk about the uneven sendoff to "Breaking Bad" (though we seem to be in the minority on that opinion), creator/producer/writer/director Vince Gilligan has already carved out some time to talk to press about the finale, and has made some fascinating revelations. Needless to say, if you haven't watch "Felina" yet, spoilers are ahead, but if you want to know the paths not chosen, then this should be a fascinating read.
Chatting with EW, Gilligan revealed that at one time a much more intense version of an ending was kicked around, but ultimately sidelined as they felt it was pushing things a bit too far. "We didn't feel an absolute need for Walt to expire at the end of the show. Our gut told us it was right. As the writers and I worked through all these different possibilities, it felt right, but I don't think it was a necessity for us. There was a version we kicked around where Walt is the only one who survives, and he's standing among the wreckage and his whole family is destroyed. That would be a very powerful ending but very much a kick-in-the-teeth kind of ending for the viewers. We talked about a version where Jesse kills Walt. We talked about a version where Walt more or less gets away with it," Gilligan shared. "There's no right or wrong way to do this job — it's just a matter of: You get as many smart people around you as possible in the writers room, and I was very lucky to have that. And when our gut told us we had it, we wrote it, and I guess our gut told us that it would feel satisfying for Walt to at least begin to make amends for his life and for all the sadness and misery wrought upon his family and his friends."
But even if Walter White wound up paying the ultimate price for the path he'd chose, his partner in crime, Jesse—who his own share of blood on his hands—still managed to ride to freedom, something Gilligan says was fitting for the character. "...the writers room just loved Jesse and we just figured he had gotten in way over his head. When you think of it, he didn't really have a chance in the early days. Walt said, 'You either help me cook meth and sell it, or else I'll turn you in to the DEA.' So this poor kid, based on a couple of really bad decisions he made early on, has been paying through the nose spiritually and physically and mentally and emotionally," he explained. "In every which way, he's just been paying the piper, and we just figured it felt right for him to get away. It would have been such a bummer for us, as the first fans of the show, for Jesse to have to pay with his life ultimately."
However, having Walt let Jesse go also served as a nod to a classic western, and storytelling into employed as well. "A lot of astute viewers who know their film history are going to say, 'It's the ending to 'The Searchers.' And indeed it is," Gilligan admits. "The wonderful western The Searchers has John Wayne looking for Natalie Wood for the entire three-hour length of the movie. She's been kidnapped by Indians and raised as one of their own, and throughout the whole movie, John Wayne says, 'I need to put her out of her misery. As soon as I find her, I'm going to kill her.' The whole movie Jeffrey Hunter is saying, 'No, we're not — she's my blood kin, we're saving her,' and he says, 'We're killing her.' And you're like, 'Oh my god, John Wayne is a monster and he's going to do it. You know for the whole movie that this is the major drama between these two characters looking for Natalie Wood. And then at the end of the movie, on impulse, you think he's riding toward her to shoot her, and instead he sweeps her up off her feet and he carries her away and he says, 'Let's go home.' It just gets me every time — the ending of that movie just chokes you up, it's wonderful. In the writers room, we said, 'Hey, what about 'The Searchers' ending?' So, it's always a matter of stealing from the best. [Laughs]"
But even borrowing from the classics doesn't mean there aren't some moments that didn't quite work in the script, and speaking with Vulture, Gilligan shared one deleted scene that wasn't able to make it in, though it will appear in some format on the forthcoming DVD of the show. Here it is:
There was one scene cut from the finale script for budget and time reasons. It took place after Walt makes the call in which he pretends he's the Times reporter. In it, a former student of Walt recognizes him. Walt pays him off and threatens him to make sure he doesn't rat him out. But before leaving the former student, he asks, "What kind of teacher was I?" The former student replies, "You were good" and then says he remembered the time Walt sprayed different chemicals at a flame and it made different colors.
And so, still lots to unpack as fans continue to say goodbye to "Breaking Bad" and Walter White. Be sure to check out both EW and Vulture for more. And below, you can see Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul reading the script for the finale for the first time together, on camera.

My journey in music started when I was just a little girl, sitting on my mom's lap while she played the organ, singing along in church choirs whilst my dad conducted, or maybe it began even before that when my mom set aside certain times to play the organ especially for me while still in her tummy, because as you know, unborn babies can hear! All I know is that music is an essential part of my being without which I cannot live.
Two years ago, after a long period of silence, I decided that the time is right for me to pursue my dream of sharing my music with the world. As any artist's journey goes, I also started at the bottom, mostly with performances at open mic nights and charity event such as Cansa Relay for Life. Long story short – we all have to start somewhere.
I decided early on that I will make 100% sure that I do a range of charity performances every year as this is where I started my musical career (Cansay Relay For Life 2012 in Nelspruit) and I need to stay the same person that made this decision. Being with people that are close to Him and always humble helps me to keep my feet grounded and to stay true to who I am.
In the past two years I have reached heights in my music career that I never thought was even possible. Performing at KKNK 2014 was absolutely amazing but nerve wrecking and being able to perform at Innibos 2014 is going to be a dream come true. Over the next few weeks I will also be performing at various Old Age Homes & children's homes across Nelspruit (charity performances) and I am so thankful to be able to assist my community. I might not be able to assist with clothes or food or even shelter, but I can" take them away" from their current situation for just an hour.
I have no idea how my journey forward will be, all I know is that with Him by my side all is possible.

Cancer radiation and children
Irene K.Taw, MD, is a pediatric radiation oncologist with Cardon Children's Medical Center.
Question: My child was diagnosed with cancer and it was recommended he undergo Radiation Therapy. What kind of side effects can radiation have on his or her health?
Answer: Radiation is one type of treatment for childhood cancer. While it does have some potential side effects, your child's physicians will take extensive measures to protect your child's future health.
Radiation works by preventing cancer cells from growing or reproducing by destroying them with targeted high-energy X-rays or gamma rays. It is typically painless and can be administered externally, internally or both.
Radiation treatments can be administered in the hospital, as an outpatient or, on occasion, it can be just once.
Because radiation therapy destroys cancer cells, it can also damage healthy cells, which is how side effects develop. Everything depends on the dose of the treatment, the location of the treatment and whether it was delivered internally or externally. Young cancer patients may or may not have side effects. Most side effects can be controlled or will subside after treatment is stopped, usually within a few weeks. Some potential side effects are:
- Fatigue: The body is working hard to develop healthy cells so encourage your child to rest or sleep as much as possible, a good prescription for any patient.
- Abnormal bone and soft tissue growth and development: Most often, abnormal growth is seen in the leg. Slight growth can be managed by a shoe lift. More dramatic growth may need surgery. The affected bones can also be weak, creating a high risk of fracture within the first 18 months of radiation. Patients should avoid contact and high impact sports during treatment.
- Skin changes: External radiation can cause the skin to become red, sensitive or irritated during and after treatment. Your doctor can prescribe ointments to soothe the area. Because of skin sensitivity, children should wear loose-fitting, soft clothes, as well as high SPF (30 or more) for months afterwards.
- Hair loss: Treatment for head and neck cancer can lead to hair thinning or hair loss shortly after treatment. This could be temporary or permanent depending on the treatment dosage.
- Mouth changes: Head and neck cancer patients can have mouth soreness and sometimes an increased risk of tooth decay. Pre-dental workup prior to radiation treatment and a good oral hygiene is important to help decrease that risk.
- Gastrointestinal problems: Following treatment, kids might experience a loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. It is very important that your child continue to eat foods high in nutrients. Your physician can prescribe medicine that can help upset stomachs.
- Blood changes: Your physician will monitor your child's blood count to make sure that his platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells remain at a healthy level. They could become low due to radiation treatment, especially if the patient received chemotherapy along with the radiation.
To get answers more specific to your child's case, I encourage you to talk with his pediatric oncologist or radiation oncologist about his diagnosis. And remember, coping with childhood cancer can be frightening for your child and you, but most kids treated with radiation therapy go on to live healthy, full lives.

text: Re: Newcastle Fire District. Measure K only needs a 50 percent-plus-one approval to pass. Measure K is a tax reduction. It removes the automatic annual CPI cost of living increases that were passed in Measure B this past March. Measure K continues the new tax passed in Measure B for three years, which will generate $840,000 in new revenue to the district. After three years the tax increase of $146.46 that was passed in Measure B will be reduced to $30 per taxable parcel which will continue to generate $57,000 in new revenue, per year, to the district. The proponents of Measure K feel this is a reasonable amount to repair or replace the current fire station and to increase the firefighters' pay and provide benefits. The debate is: Does Newcastle Fire District need a new 8,000-square-foot firehouse or something of much more modest means? Whatever is built will not increase response times or deter a response from other agencies. San Diego recently rejected a tax increase, a ballot initiative, by a vote of 51 percent. It went to court and the court upheld the rejection because it was not a tax increase. My current portion of property taxes that are paid to Newcastle Fire District is $400.24 and it will increase every year. What does your tax bill show? RICHARD MOLZAHN, Newcastle

About Me Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Practical
Great glasses for a very reasonable price. Swapping the lenses is quick and easy. I use the amber lenses on the trails, darker lenses when road riding, and the clear lenses at night. Very comfortable and they typically don't fog.They're tough too! At my last MTB race, I accidentally closed them in my hatchback and I was panicked while trying to reopen the hatch. They were slightly bent in a couple of places - I straightened them out, put them on, and haven't had an issue. I'm back for another pair to keep as a spare!
Nice glasses...great bargain!

About Me Career, Comfort-Oriented, Practical
These fit really well, largely due to the fact that the nosepiece is easily molded to fit your face, not someone's approximation of you. The lenses are really clear and the shape blocks light from all angles. Lightweight, yet they feel substantial enough that they will not break easily.
Great Value

I purchased these glasses for the interchangeable lenses. The 3 different lenses are perfect for bright light, overcast days and night riding with lights when you still need the eye protection.The lenses snap securely into the frames - they don't feel like they might pop out (unlike some other interchangeable lenses I've used).Temples and adjustable nosepiece are comfortable and light weight.Venting reduces fogging pretty well.For the price, these glasses are a great value.

Solid pair of glasses
By Dave
from Culpeper, Virginia
About Me Modern, Practical
I bought these because they are very similar in styling to the Oakley flak jacket XLJ which I own in perscription and love. I wanted to start wearing contact lenses paired with cheaper sunglasses in case I damaged them. They work well when I am mountain biking. I use the orange lenses to improve visibility and protect my eyes from hidden branches. In that respect they work well. Only fog when I stop for more than a few seconds to get a drink. When I road ride I still prefer to wear my oakleys most of the time because they fit in the nose better and are polarized. However on overcast/rainy rides the clear and Orange lenses have come in handy. When here first came they didn't fit well, but the nosepiece is made to shape for your nose. I bent the playable nosepiece and configured it which has helped dramatically. With a little more playing around, I think they'll fit just about right. While the safest bet for sunny road riding in polarized, these are great for most occasions. The lenses also pop in an out very efficiently when changing.

Not so good Hotel
Sharon Woodford, Bedfordshire
Just come back from a weeks stay at the Esmerelda, I was looking forward to this holiday as it is was our first in 2 years. The Hotel is clean the pool is not as clean as I would of expected in a 4 star hotel. The restaurant and reception staff are very rude, bordering on offensive. The food is repetetive and boring, the service in the restaurant is appalling, the tables are not cleaned and you are lucky if there is a knife and fork laid out. The rooms are not bad, ours was a little dusty and had some cobwebs but it was comfortable. All in all I do not rate this as a 4 star hotel and the attitude of the staff made our stay uncomfortable.

On Tap: Beer Bracket is here for March madness
Who is in your Final Four?
Over the next several weeks we'll hear that question almost every day.
We don't want to feel left out so we're getting involved in all the madness, albeit with a twist. The bracket you are looking at doesn't feature basketball teams, but craft beers.
Welcome to the inaugural JumpStart! beer bracket. Talk about mad hops (sorry couldn't resist that joke).
Our beer bracket features 16 Pennsylvania beers — many are brewed right here in NEPA and all from the eastern half of the state. We selected the breweries and then picked beer from the brewery's main line such as Troegs Brewing Company's Troegenator.
The bracket is divided into four regions or groups and the beers were randomly paired against each other so that's why you'll see an IPA facing off against a porter.
There are some interesting first-round matchups, including Nimble Hill Hop Bottom IPA vs. 3 Guys & a Beer'd Wheat the People.
And how about this showdown — Victory Prima Pils vs. Sly Fox 113 IPA.
We'll reveal the results of our bracket and pick a champion on April 3.
The cool thing about this bracket is we want our readers to pick the readers' champion. Vote for your favorite at citizensvoice.com/beer.
You can share your bracket with your friends on Twitter and Facebook. Use the hashtag #CVbeerbracket.
So, we ask you, who is in your final four?

text: After years of working successfully in commercials and music videos, French directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet make a splashing feature-film debut, DELICATESSEN, a hysterical exercise in style. Scripted by comic book writer and frequent Caro and Jeunet collaborator Gilles Adrien, the story follows a sweet-natured clown, Louison (Dominique Pinon), who moves into a run down apartment building with a delicatessen on the ground floor and falls in love with the butcher's daughter, Julie Clapet (Marie-Laure Dougnac). When it turns out that Julie's father (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) is actually butchering human beings and selling the meat to the carnivorous tenants of the building, Julie must decide if she will remain loyal to her father's business or expose the truth in order to save Louison from being the next victim. Taking place entirely inside, underneath, and on the roof of the delicatessen, the film uses an old pipe that runs throughout the building as a channel of communication for its characters.

HunstantonThe Smithdon High School (formerly known as Hunstanton Secondary Modern School) is an early building designed by the architects Peter and Alison Smithson, built between 1949?1954 and of international architectural significance and a quite extraordinarily radical building to have been commissioned in North West Norfolk. It is a Grade II* listed building.[4]
Boston, LincolnshireBoston Rugby Club is also located at the Princess Royal Arena. The team play in blue shirts with narrow white stripes.It first started in 1927 by Ernst Clark, a gentleman with an interest in giving his boys and their friends something to do, or rather something to keep them out of trouble.
York StreetThe Fantasy Island Stand is situated to the north of the pitch. It is entered through turnstiles 1 & 2 and has an all seated capacity of 1,323. The Directors' seating and dug outs can be found here.
St Botolph's Church, BostonEarly English legends have created the belief that the church was built on the site of a monastery founded by Botolph in 654, but with the main source of this being the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, this is heavily disputed. Modern historians believe it much more likely that Botolph's monastery was located at Iken in Suffolk.

An unanswered call to the agent has our imagination running away with us thanks to the tidbit in the listing: "oversized garage parking with a pet salon." What!? Is it an actual grooming station or is that a fancy way of saying Fido gets his own room?? Either way, it's taking a lot to not scour the internet for pet room ideas for 4 hours straight. (Oh. My. Gosh.)
But back to human concerns… This is a new construction and has an approved 10-year tax abatement under its belt. The property, as already mentioned, is rather spacious with enough room for a sizable SUV and claims a pet salon (although there are no pics available for evidence). There's also available storage space on the third floor and three outdoor spaces, among them a roof deck and an outdoor yard with brick pavers.

BBQ Sauce Rub and BBQ-TeeShirt of the 2012 event
The ACM BBQ Throwdown is presented by BULL. This ultimate BBQ fan experience will take place in Las Vegas during the "Week Vegas Goes Country" in conjunction with the American Country Music Awards.
The 47th Annual Academy of Music Awards show will be in Las Vegas on April 1, 2012.

SUN April 1st from 10AM - 4PM
Sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the BBQ Throwdown will attract top competitors on the barbeque circuit competing for a guaranteed purse of $50,000 -- one of the world's richest contests.
Lang BBQ Smokers® is proud to be the 2012 OFFICIAL BBQ SMOKER at this event!
Lang Smokers Demonstrates The Thrill of the Grill at ACM BBQ Throwdown in Las Vegas.
The Kansas City Baron of BBQ and Seven time world champion Paul Kirk will be doing demos on Lang BBQ Smokers® at the ACM BBQ Throwdown March 30 - April 1 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Joining the legendary champion will be Bill Davis from Hickory Barn BBQ from Athens, Tennessee.

Get the brisket slider recipe!
Lang BBQ Smokers®, as seen on TLC's BBQ Pitmaster TV Series, have become legendary for authentic BBQ performance. It comes from their unique and original reverse-flow, off-set firebox design. They have an all welded griddle under the grilling racks that sizzles and sears the meats to goof-proof perfection with out fighting a fire or grease flare-up.
Besides being easy to clean and durable, it punches more flavor into food than any other smoker on the market. Whether you are cooking for pleasure, profit or promotion, The Lang BBQ Smoker® will "tilt the flavor in you favor".
Look for Lang BBQ Smoker® demos through-out the ACM BBQ Throwdown and see them in action at the BBQ competition by some of the world's best teams.
It is not by accident that so many Chefs, Caterers and BBQ Cooks use Lang BBQ Smokers® daily . It is because of it's legendary Reverse Flow design and performance.
Look for Ben Lang

This wonderful fan experience is made possible by many people, especially Smoke on the Water Productions.

If yesterday was nostalgia Christmas, today is nostalgia Boxing Day — nobody is quite ready to let it go yet, but the main event is over and at some point soon, we will all have to go back to our normal lives.
Not quite yet though. Toucher & Rich of 98.5's The Sports Hub in Boston caught up with Celtics play-by-play man and on-air Tommy Heinsohn handler Mike Gorman yesterday before the game. Gorman passed out a few nuggets that may have gotten a little lost in all the goings-on but probably shouldn't be.
First, Gorman tackled the topic of Pierce returning someday in some capacity to the Celtics:
Paul's contract is up at the end of this year, and the question is does he want to continue to play or not? I asked him directly last night and he really left the door wide open. He said he would come back and work in the front office, assistant coach, he smiled and said he would come back as a player and really smiled and said he would come back as a broadcaster. Paul wants to stay in basketball, and his heart remains in Boston. He knew he was connected to this city, but when he left and came back he really knew how connected he was."
In any of these capacities, Pierce would likely excel and he would certainly have the undying support of Boston's fans. It's interesting that Pierce believes he can work in the front office, since it was the front office who traded him away in exchange for the future. There hasn't been any acrimony toward the Celtics coming out of Pierce's camp (the only negative comments we heard from Pierce were about the difficulties in moving to a new city), and if Pierce really understands the tough decision the front office was forced to make in trading away a huge piece of franchise history for the betterment of their future, he certainly might be cut out for front office work.
And, naturally, if Pierce wanted to become Tommy Heinsohn's successor in the broadcast booth, all the better.
Gorman also told T&R an anecdote about Pierce the leader which deserves a note as well:
Paul took his job as the captain of the Celtics very seriously. Very seriously. I'll never forget one night right after he had been appointed captain he got on the plane with a Barnes & Noble bag, and it looked pretty heavy. That's not something I've seen in my years covering basketball, players carrying around heavy Barnes & Noble bags. Pierce was sitting alone in this compartment by himself and spread out in front of him were a half dozen books on leadership. That was Paul.
Something in those books must have really spoken to Pierce — he was introduced as "The Captain…and the Truth!" for so many years before his exit that it was jarring when Rajon Rondo was introduced as the captain this season. While Garnett was the noisier face of the franchise at times, Pierce was the leader.
Last night drove home how much Boston appreciated Pierce. Stories like this one (as well as Adrian Wojnarowski's powerhouse column last night) drive home much Pierce appreciated Boston. It was a beautiful symbiotic relationship, and it's extremely encouraging to hear that, at some point, Pierce may come back and keep the relationship alive.

Congressman Carney recognizes students for outstanding community serviceAaliya Reese from Cape recognized
Congressman John Carney has announced the names of 40 high school seniors to whom he awarded Certificates of Special Congressional Recognition for distinguished public service. The students were nominated for this award by their school principals or guidance counselors based on a record of outstanding and invaluable service to their community. Each student received their certificate at their school's graduation or senior award ceremony.
"I spend a lot of time visiting Delaware schools, and I am always impressed with the work that so many young people in our state are doing to enrich the lives of others," said Congressman Carney. "Every day, Delaware students volunteer their time to pack and deliver meals to seniors, help care for those who are sick and in the hospital, or reach out to those in our community with disabilities. Being able to manage their school work, plan for their future, and still take time to help others shows me that they have the skills, compassion, and dedication to become strong leaders in our community. That's the attitude that I try to encourage through this award, and I hope these students will continue to devote their time to public service going forward."
Cape Region students receiving the award include Aaliya Reese, Cape Henlopen High School; Kathleen Workman, Delmarva Christian High School; Jacob Rickards, Indian River High School; Matthew Conlin, St. Thomas More Academy; Heidi Morales, Sussex Central High School; Lacey Perdue, Sussex Technical High School; and Patricia Yoc-Roblero, Sussex Technical High School.

The Marist Professional Women's Mentor Program kicked off its "Lunch and Learn" series on April 21, 2011 with a presentation by MPWMP participants Melissa Lulay and Jennifer Unterbrink. The topic of their talk was the quarter-life crisis, whether it's a myth or reality, and how it affects new professionals. As the Millennials start to enter their 20s and 30s, there is increased awareness of the identity crisis they may experience. Given from the point of view of new professionals, this program explored characteristics of the quarter-life crisis, challenges Millennials may face, and advice for those who supervise and/or advise them.

This event marked the second year of the Marist Professional Women's Mentor Program. The luncheon included a welcome by College President Dennis Murray, reflections from pilot participants, and a keynote address by local business owner Ellyn Enisman.
Excerpts From Keynote Address:
"Many people often think that in order to be a mentor you must be in a high-powered career on the fast track, and if they're not, they have nothing to offer. This is one of the greatest myths."
"The real power of mentoring is in the relationship. In fact, mentoring IS the relationship."
"Most people think of the mentor/mentee relationship as: mentor as teacher and mentee as learner. What I want to share with you from my experience is that whatever role you enter the relationship in, you will end up being both mentor and mentee. I have learned some of the most powerful lessons from my mentees."
"I would urge you to think in terms of investment instead of time, and promise that this program will have a profound effect on all the relationships in your life."

Through the years the Genetti Hotel has been the site of thousands of banquets, balls, benefits, dinners, luncheons, conventions, concerts, and meetings for the civic, social, business, and political organizations of Williamsport and surrounding cities, as well as for state and national organizations.
The Genetti has been the headquarters for the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, the Retail Merchants Association, Kiwanis, Lions, Advertising Club, the Community Trade Association, and Little League, the hotel has hosted luncheons and dinner meetings as well as special events for these organizations for decades. The Genetti Hotel, originally named the Lycoming Hotel, was built in 1921.
"Three full days of dinners, banquets, balls, and tours marked the opening of Williamsport's landmark hotel. The city's tallest building immediately fulfilled the vision of its founders, becoming the center of physical, social, civic, and tourist activity.
At noon, on Wednesday, June 21, 1922, Edgar Munson, representing the Board of Directors, raised a large American flag to the flagpole on the roof 192 feet above West Fourth Street. Manager John F. Letton unfurled the flag to the breeze while a band played below. J.M. MacDonald, superintendent of the W.M. Sutherland Contracting Company, raised the Lycoming Hotel flag."
The Genetti Hotel's elegant atmosphere has attracted many notable guests. Among the hundreds of celebrity visitors and overnight guests included Gene Kelly, Clarence Darrow, Rita Hayworth, Carl Sandburg, Bob Dylan, and dozens of politicians including Robert F. Rich, John G. Snowden, Governor Edward Martin,Alvin Bush, Robert Kennedy and Tom Ridge. The hotel continues to provide a home away from home to politicians, athletes, scholars, authors and entertainers of all kinds.

Technology update
Apr 20, 2002
NanoMagnetics opens new lab
Nanoparticle start-up NanoMagnetics has officially opened its new laboratory in Bristol, UK. The company's technology, based on the protein molecule ferritin, has applications in magnetic data storage.
"The idea of this facility is to increase the capabilities of the technology, but more importantly develop it to the point where we can get a partnership, take this medium into an integrated device and start shipping it," Eric Mayes, NanoMagnetics co-founder and chief technical officer, told nanotechweb.org.
Originally set up in 1996 in a kitchen, NanoMagnetics has grown fast. Today the company has 14 employees and a 10 000 sq. ft research and development facility, as well as more than $10 million in venture backing.
NanoMagnetics' technology has a biological background - animals, plants and bacteria use ferritin molecules to store iron in the form of iron oxide. "Nature has built this clever storehouse to put the iron in," said Mayes. "We've developed a set of chemistries that allow us to put metal alloys, in particular cobalt-platinum, inside the cavity. We start with an empty bottle and build a ship inside it."
A key advantage of the ferritin molecules is that they are always the same size - effectively a "12 nm diameter cage with an 8 nm cavity". NanoMagnetics uses the molecules as "organic templates" that limit the diameter of the metal alloy grains created inside them to a maximum of 8 nm.
Once it has created the alloy nanoparticles, NanoMagnetics coats them onto standard glass disk substrates by spin- or dip-coating. Then it anneals the film to cause a phase transition and align the particles - a process that optimizes their magnetic properties and also converts the ferritin molecules to carbon.
"The idea is then to take that disk and do all of the same types of processing that happen to disks today," explained Mayes, who reckons that the hard disk drive industry is so big that it's difficult to displace the incumbent technology. "We wanted a technology that would change the least number of parameters for them - that would work with the same heads and electronics, with manufacturing equipment identical except for the coating technology."
Back in 1999, NanoMagnetics used its ferritin technology to demonstrate a credit card film with a data storage capacity of 75 bits per inch. "In August of last year, we went from 75 bits per inch to the more realistic 0.7 Gbit/sq. in," said Mayes. "In December we managed to hit a milestone we had planned for January - 2.2 Gbit/sq. in." Now the aim is to achieve 8 Gbit/sq. in by the summer.
"We're providing a roadmap for getting from the densities that we're at now to the terabits regime, at least for this protein," added Mayes. "We can go slightly beyond that with other proteins that we're starting to look at."
NanoMagnetics says that it is aiming to partner with a major industrial player and hopes to be in production by the second half of 2003.
The company is also working on other applications of its technology, including nanoparticle-based catalysts, fluids for magnetic-resonance imaging applications, and materials that will absorb microwave radiation.
