Rome's Tremendous Tunnel: The Ancient World's Longest Underground Aqueduct
Part 2: How Did the Romans Accomplish Such a Feat?
This time the empire pursued an even more ambitious goal. It aimed to place the remaining route underground. That dispensed with the need for bridges. Below the surface, laborers could simply chisel the floor of the tunnel out of rock.
And there were other challenges: With an average height of 2.5 meters (8 feet) and a width of 1.5 meters, only four legionnaires working underground could ensure the advance of the tunnel. They couldn't manage more than 10 centimeters (4 inches) a day. At that rate, they would still be tunneling toward Gadara today.
Surveyors, water engineers and mining experts traveled farther east to find solutions to these problems. Döring has largely deciphered their working methods. "There are many indications that the engineers first traced the surface route and then sank sloping shafts into the rock every 20 to 200 meters," he says. These shafts provided fresh air. What's more, they meant that hundreds of men could work simultaneously on the endeavor.
Dead Chickens
When Emperor Hadrian visited the Decapolis in the 129 B.C., the project was in full swing. To the sound of trumpets the legionnaires and local workers lined up and climbed underground. They labored with pointed chisels in the glow of oil lamps. Slaves hauled the excavated material up the shafts.
Nowadays, the old service entrances make it possible to determine the course taken by the underground water labyrinth. "Nearly all entrances were walled up in ancient times to prevent animals from falling in," explains Döring, "and we found others buried or filled with meters of rubbish." Dead chickens lay in one hole.
How the aqueduct worked.
Down below, on the floor of the tunnel, the researchers are surrounded by damp darkness. At times it is so suffocating that the gas monitoring devices begin to peep. Rubble occasionally blocks the passage, creating hip-high ponds of mud and rainwater. In other places, the wind whistles and blows like in a wind tunnel.
The group has unearthed over 300 entranceways. But there remain many unanswered questions. "Over the first 60 kilometers, the tunnel has a gradient of 0.3 per thousand," explains the project director. That works out to 30 centimeters per kilometer -- an astonishingly shallow angle of descent.
Down to the Last Centimeter
The Romans did have levels, a six-meter long design called a chorobate copied from the Persians. They also filled goat intestines with water to find a level around corners. But that alone does not explain the precision of this amazing aqueduct.
"First the surveyors had to establish a uniform route with posts that extended for many kilometers," Döring points out. That alone was extremely difficult on the uneven terrain. Then they had to transfer this line deep below the surface and determine the location of the tunnel floor down to the very last centimeter. But how did they accomplish this with such a high degree of precision? It wasn't possible to lower a plumb line because the construction shafts descended at an angle.
In view of such difficulties, it's hardly surprising that mistakes were made. Once in a while, the chiseling crews would hammer right past each other. In such cases, the only way to connect the sections was to send tapping signals through the rock and zigzag until the workers met up.
It took 120 years to complete the subterranean enterprise. Then the water finally gushed and bubbled from below. Mineral deposits in one section near Abila reveal that 300 to 700 liters per second rushed through the canal. The genius of Rome had managed to transform this part of the Levant into a veritable Garden of Eden.
But that never happened. Since the surveyors ended up making a number of miscalculations, the water -- after over 170 kilometers -- arrived in Gadara slightly too low for the grand plans.
The reservoir could not be filled -- and the fountains never went into operation.

Already, 128 countries have publicly committed themselves to a new Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. It promotes women's full participation in peace negotiations. In doing so, the declaration casts women as more than victims of sexual assault during conflict who require restitution.

Lethal Weapon
The National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque is the scariest showroom I've ever visited: Its display cases burst with air-delivered destruction, from Fat Man and Little Boy to the streamlined cruise missiles of more recent vintage. (These newer versions come accessorized with sprightly trim that points all too clearly to their dual status as weapon and totemic trade commodity.) Why this merger of commerce and megadeath should surprise, I don't know. As progressive intellectual Randolph Bourne observed amid the jingoistic fury that spurred this nation into World War I, war is the health of the state. Still, after a half-century that afforded endless opportunities for offhand global destruction, one might expect a throttling down of the military-industrial engines.
Although he's a regular contributor to such lefty bastions as The Nation and Mother Jones, journalist Ken Silverstein nevertheless lured some of the people in the driver's seat into explaining why that won't happen anytime soon. The exploits of this group, chronicled in Silverstein's new Private Warriors (Verso), make for unsettling reading: A dedicated cadre devoted to high budgets and endless R&D--ex-Nazi arms brokers, military men now working the other side of the fence, weapons contractors in bed with seamy U.S. government offices and friendly dictators--this crew has kept the fiscal pedal to the metal. (Unreformed National Socialist Ernst Glatt did about half a billion dollars' worth of business with the Pentagon between 1983 and 1993.) Regardless of whether an enemy looms, no military procurement budget is going to sink even a little on the watch of these warmongers, a term they wear with pride. Need to move last year's model off the shelves? Sell "obsolete" weaponry to allies (or dump it, if necessary), then stick up Congress for even bigger budgets on account of the advanced technology everyone else now possesses.
Silverstein makes an appropriately acerbic guide through the corridors of this underworld. In each chapter he visits one of the perpetrators of destruction, introducing us to faces as familiar as Al Haig, now a Unification ("Moonie") Temple stooge and all-purpose militarist, and spooks as unknown as shadowy defense intellectual Andy Marshall, a "pork-seeking missile" and still-hawkish cold warrior who heads the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment. Following a chain of revolving doors into and out of government service, these men variously slaver for new wars, help arm the globe, and prop up friendly military pseudo-states. Often Silverstein can only marvel at the ingenuity with which government and business collude to evade humanitarian restrictions. The U.S., for instance, now avoids the stigma attached to its torturer-training School of the Americas by outsourcing aid to right-wing regimes. Today's bad lieutenants can learn their trade at mercenary firms staffed by former military personnel who instruct police and counterinsurgency "administrators" in Saudi Arabia, Croatia, and Angola, where they are subject to no public oversight.
The result of such a journalistic journey might sound unstintingly grim, but Silverstein leavens the bleakness with mockery of the weirdos at the margins. At a 1998 fascist-fest hosted by Soldier of Fortune magazine, he notes,
[T]he culmination...came at a shooting range on the outskirts of Las Vegas, where a dozen men armed with machine guns and explosives blew to smithereens a white van....The affair was emceed by Peter Kokalis, an SOF editor, who lovingly described the machine guns used in the assault...
between telling jokes...and berating reporters in attendance for being a bunch of pansy-assed liberals.
Yet the author also notes that among those in attendance, "bullshit artists outnumbered combat vets by a wide margin." And in fact, Silverstein never quite plumbs the bottom of the murky hints all these men drop. How many flew relief to the Contras or hacked through African jungles in support of the tyrant du jour? How many merely stoked tall tales with history glommed from too many viewings of Rambo? Two-thirds of these people sound almost laughably ineffectual--weekend warriors stomping around in army-surplus camo. The remainder appear so insulated by think tanks, industry backing, and inscrutable government posts, as to be all but unknowable. Andy Marshall, for instance, almost never speaks in public, but he was instrumental in pushing through the staggeringly expensive Revolution in Military Affairs doctrine, which holds that a defense budget dwarfing that of the rest of the world somehow mandates an immediate increase in spending.
Good muckraking will stir up a reader, but Silverstein seems less outraged than simply bemused by the byzantine weapons deals and secret missions his subjects conspire to inflict on the world. Though he tracks their doings doggedly, Silverstein leaves the reader with a dispiriting sense of vertigo: Despite all we learn about what these men are up to, we end up mostly boggled by their sheer warped devotion, and unclear as to what, if anything, the public can do to rein them in. So it is that Silverstein's book can be said to have won the battle while losing the war.

Kirtland Man Sentenced to 97 Months in Federal Prison for Sexual Assault Conviction
Defendant Prosecuted as Part of Federal Initiative to Address the Epidemic of Violence Against Native Women
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 11, 2014
ALBUQUERQUE—Hareldo Horse, 31, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation who resides in Kirtland, New Mexico, was sentenced this afternoon to 97 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for his sexual assault conviction. Horse will be required to register as a sex offender when he completes his prison sentence.
The sentence was announced by Acting U.S. Attorney Steven C. Yarbrough, Special Agent in Charge Carol K.O. Lee of the Albuquerque Division of the FBI, and Director John Billison of the Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety.
Horse was arrested on March 11, 2013, on an indictment charging him with sexually assaulting a woman in a location within the Navajo Indian Reservation on October 20, 2012. He has been in federal custody since that time. On September 10, 2013, Horse pleaded guilty to the indictment and admitted inappropriately touching the victim's genitals at a time when the victim was physically in capable of declining to participate in the sexual act.
This case was investigated by the Farmington Resident Agency of the FBI and the Shiprock Office of the Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Mysliwiec. The case was brought pursuant to the Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (Tribal SAUSA) Pilot Project in the District of New Mexico, which is sponsored by the Justice Department's Office on Violence Against Women under a grant administered by the Pueblo of Laguna. The Tribal SAUSA Pilot Project seeks to train tribal prosecutors in federal law, procedure, and investigative techniques to increase the likelihood that every viable violent offense against Native women is prosecuted in either federal court or tribal court or both. The Tribal SAUSA Pilot Project was largely driven by input gathered from annual tribal consultations on violence against women and is another step in the Justice Department's on-going efforts to increase engagement, coordination, and action on public safety in tribal communities.

text: In the 1970s and early '80s, an anti-pro ethos took root in California. Surfers wore plain black wetsuits and rode clear boards, rebelling against the corporitization of their sport. But the young punks at Echo Beach thrived on attention. They wore bright colors, mugged for photographers so they could appear in magazines, and racked up endorsement deals from surfing companies like Quicksilver. "I don't even like surfing unless the cameras are out," Preston Murray once said.

Prince George's County Bans Use of Plastic Bags for Yard Waste
As of Jan. 1, Prince George's County residents are no longer allowed to use plastic bags to collect and set out their yard waste.
From now on, leaves, grass and tiny branches have to be collected in reusable pens or paper bags, according to a statement by the Prince George's County Department of Environmental Resources. The new regulations require that yard waste be placed loose in "paper bags or reusable containers with sturdy handles and tight-fitting lids that are marked," the statement said. The containers must be marked "YARD WASTE."
"As we shred our leaves, branches and Christmas trees, plastic bags clog the machinery, make a huge mess and contaminate our compost product. Then, we have additional costs disposing of them," said DER Director Adam Ortiz, in a statement. "By using alternatives to plastic bags, residents will reduce needless pollution and costs and help our County go greener."
All other collection requirements will stay the same.
"This change is in direct response to legislation passed by the Prince George's County Council for the purpose of amending the County Recycling Program to meet updated recycling goals," the county website said.
Some other local jurisdictions continue to allow residents to use plastic bags, though most indicate on their websites that paper is preferred. In D.C., residents are encouraged to use reusable plastic containers. The city's website does not mention paper or plastic bags.
In Northern Virginia, Alexandria provides free paper leaf bags to residents and three times a year, leaves are vacuumed free of charge. Fairfax County residents are allowed to use clear plastic bags.
"A reusable container or brown paper bag is best," the Fairfax.gov website said. "They will not add contaminants to the leaves and grass when composted. Clear plastic bags cause equipment problems at the yard waste processing facility and are difficult to remove. Never use dark plastic bags. Yard waste in dark bags will likely be treated as trash and not recycled."
Montgomery County prohibits plastic bags, like Prince George's.
In Baltimore City, the Bureau of Solid Waste asks residents to "put yard waste in plastic bags (preferably clear or labeled bags), paper bags, or bundle it."
In Baltimore County, residents are also allowed to use plastic bags. "Place grass and leaves in paper (preferred) or plastic lawn and leaf bags," the Baltimore County website said. The bags are limited to 30 pounds and five bags can be picked up during one collection.
The Prince George's County website said paper bags are available for about $2 for a pack of 5 at home improvement, retain and grocery stories. Reusable containers can be purchased for $10 to $20 and may be used for many years.
Residents are also asked to compost their leaves or chip them into small pieces in a mulching mower.
A short grace period will allow residents to adapt to the new bag requirement.

Cherod Webber says he always had a "burning desire" to own a business, but he spent 17 years as an executive for BMW Manufacturing learning about managing manufacturing and acquiring other business skills before he was able to devote himself to being a full-time entrepreneur.

IGS is the latest resident company at the USC/Columbia Technology Incubator on Laurel Street, and Webber said he found the support network of the business incubator, the city and its business leaders to be the ideal environment to nurture his young company.
In turn, the incubator's board chairman, Don Tomlin, said IGS is exactly the sort of startup that the USC/Columbia Technology Incubator needs to build the region's entrepreneurial culture.
"Soon we'll have 100 entrepreneurs in this building, all engaged in building companies," Tomlin said. "There's a cadre of brains in this building, each company helps another. That really accelerates growth."
Tomlin said Webber's company will provide learning opportunities for graduate students in the business administration program at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business.
"It's a win-win for everyone," Tomlin said.

Shasta Ventures has helped more than double merchant payments business Swipely's venture capital backing by leading a $12m Series B financing round.
The funding comes hot on the heels of Swipely being named to Forbes' list of America's Most Promising Companies, and marks the largest Series B investment in a Rhode Island, US software company in history.
Existing investors First Round Capital, Greylock Partners and Index Ventures also backed the latest round, which brought Swipely's total venture financing to $20.5m.
The company has grown to manage more than $700m of annual sales for merchants in 130 US cities and towns since entering the sector in June last year.
Shasta Ventures partner Sean Flynn said, "We are excited to be part of a company that finally brings the power of data to the offline world, ultimately translating into happy customers and more revenue.
"It's a major innovation in payments and marketing for small business, and we hope it will transform the way merchants understand and engage with their customers."
Earlier this month fellow venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz led a $16.5m third funding round for online payment network Dwolla, to expand upon its $5m Series B round from February 2012.
Existing investors Village Ventures, Thrive Capital, and Union Square Ventures also backed the round.
The company's technology allows users to send, request and accept money via the internet with the use of emails and social media.

The Mersey Hotel
|(clasificación propia)
Free Wi-Fi access, a TV, tea and coffee making facilities and a private bathroom are included in each simply decorated room. Some rooms at the Mersey Hotel have views of the river and both the Silver Jubilee and Ethelfreda Bridges.
Breakfast is served in the traditional dining room and includes a selection of cereals, toast, tea and coffee.. A pool table and games machines are also included in the bar.

Abortion debate continues
Abortion debate continues
In reply to Richard Susskind's rant regarding Steve Breen's excellent and factual cartoon Jan. 22:. Mr. Susskind said, "Not one baby has been killed due to Roe vs. Wade" That's one of the most absurd comments I've ever heard. A baby in the womb's heart starts beating in the first trimester. In the second trimester and third trimester, the nervous system, fingers and toes are developed, the baby sucks it's thumb and can survive outside the womb. Full-term babies that can easily survive outside the womb have been aborted with barbaric and extremely painful methods such as the partial birth procedure.
Mr. Susskind uses the word "terminate." He should look up the definition. Terminating is killing an unborn child and late abortion is infanticide. – Rob Schick, Santee
Filner appearance lamented
I was in attendance at the Jan. 24 Carmel Valley Planning Meeting and was appalled at the presentation made by our newly elected mayor, Bob Filner.
He was an embarrassment to our city. The purpose of this meeting was to have the applicant of One Paseo present the project to the residents of Carmel Valley and the local Community Planning Board, and for those attending to voice their positive or negative comments to this project. The applicant presented an extensive video depicting the proposed project. When this presentation was ALMOST COMPLETE, in walked Mayor Filner, who was the first to speak after this presentation. In the forum of this neighborhood community meeting Mayor Filner was TOTALLY OUT OF LINE in presenting his strong opposition to this project. He had NOT seen most of the presentation nor had he stayed to listen to any of the comments from the community.
The purpose of these meetings are for the community to discuss the pros and cons of these projects. A mayor, such as Bob Filner, who speaks as if he is representing the entire community, whether for or against a project, is unduly influencing the purpose of these meetings. Naturally the opponents of this project cheered him on. The large number in attendance supporting the project could only sit in shock that Mayor Filner would take a strong position without hearing or seeing all the details and public comments presented. This, in my opinion, undermined the procedures set forth to hear concrete comments from the community residents. I hope Mayor Filner doesn't show up at any future meetings for Carmel Valley or other communities with similar formats. – Linda Katzman, Carmel Valley
Critiques of GOP
Bobby Jindal got it right when he said, "The Republican brand was damaged when some of our candidates made offensive and bizarre comments." (Jindal: GOP must stop being 'stupid party,'" UTSanDiego.com, Jan. 24.)
What Bobby Jindal did not mention and apparently fails to realize is these offensive and bizarre commentators lead and philosophically define the Republican Party.
Jindal also lacks the insight to realize the leaders of a political party are simply a reflection of the membership.
A cosmetic change here and there will not fix what ails the GOP. The GOP needs a major overhaul. The GOP will become a viable political party only when registered Republicans become educated and civilized. – Charlie Ballbach, Santee
John Walsh's letter (Jan. 24) about President Obama's inaugural speech is yet another fine example of why Republicans will continue to lose elections. The disdain that many have for Obama is causing them to behave in a way that is tantamount to cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
Barack Obama is at worst a decent orator and at best a spellbinding one. I did not agree with Ronald Reagan's politics, but would never say he could not deliver a stirring speech. Why do Fox News Republicans want so badly to hang on to the same biased perceptions that were a major cause of them losing the presidency?

Saturday's events will begin at 8:30 a.m. PT on Lake Natoma. The Cougars travel to California after competing in a dual regatta with Washington, April 3 at the Montlake Cut in Seattle where WSU's novice eight handed UW a three-second defeat.

WSU Head Coach Jane LaRiviere on the Lake Natoma Invitational:
"Lake Natoma is a great course. We've raced there a ton recently because the Pac-12 Championships are held there each year and the last two NCAA Championships have been held there. It feels comfortable for us and feels like a home course. The course is well marked and great for spectators which makes it a fun place to race. The Lake Natoma Invitational has three-boat races, so it's nice to have a little more to focus on than in a dual meet. This regatta is another step and we need to keep moving in the right direction."

The aliens are the beings that attend to Dark Laser's zoo, the one he built to get the money to repair his Death Ball, and he caged the Turners and put them on an exhibit to attract more aliens. He said to them that if the money spent reached 100 billion (which is how much he needed to repair the Death Ball), he would send the Turners to space, but as it took a lot of time he decided to use the Turners to get the money faster, and put Timmy on a water show with Orcatron. They are not allowed to feed the Turners.

How time does fly, here we are the 1st Tuesday in November. Melbourne Cup Day again.
The excitement is not limited to the track here at Tranquil Waters, the girls & boys give it their best. The girls, as always, resplendent in their hats & finery. But what a special effort put in by the boys. Opinion was that the male outfits out-did the girls. The hat & sock competition was of a very high standard & the two winners deserved their wins.
A fine lunch of sandwiches, finger food & desert was prepared by the girls. All in all another great day.A great day of food, drinks and fun at our annual Melbourne Cup Day celebrations in the Community Centre.

Posted in 'Resident Events, Village Events' on November 7, 2011
The Leukaemia Foundation is dedicated to the care & the cure of patients & families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma & related blood disorders.
Here at Tranquil Waters, in November each year, our committee organizes a leukaemia day & has successfully raised large amounts of money for the foundation annually. The amount of $4,800 was raised in support of the Leukaemia Foundation, well over $1,000 more than last year.
Give yourselves a pat on the back everyone, not just the organisers but all of you who took the time to join in the fun, buying raffle tickets, jewellery, cakes and biscuits, handmade goods as well as our white elephant stall.
Over $230 alone was raised by the auction of "teddy" lovingly handmade by Tranquil Waters resident, Audrey Priest. Thanks Audrey.
In the food department, sausages flew off the BBQs and morning and afternoon teas were on the go all day. Our very own Tranquil Tones also added to the day with their lovely singing.

Hello from the Village Manager
Posted in 'Sales' on November 24, 2011
Christmas 2011 will be both happy and sad for me. Happy because we are in the final stages of building and sad because it is the end of an era.
I have been here since the village began in 2000 and welcomed our first residents, the late Chilla and Ngaire Goodchap. Since then many more have joined us and what a delight it is to listen to the laughter and see new friends enjoy each others company at functions and outings.
Tranquil Waters has a vibrant and friendly community full of laughter, fun and friendship. Retirement is not about slowing down, but having the time to do the things you enjoy most.
So this is the last chance to secure one of the few remaining NEW villas.
We have released stage 10 and have already welcomed the first resident. These new villas are north/south facing with good patios and in a few weeks we will have three 3bedroom units available. These villas have more than ample storage, but be quick as they will be the last.
Maybe one day we will be able say to you "welcome aboard".

Republicans have largely avoided tea-party rebellions this primary season. Worst-case scenarios for the party — electing people so far to the right in primaries that they would be vulnerable against Democrats — failed to materialize in North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado and Iowa, while incumbent senators prevailed in Mississippi, Kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
But there's still one contest in which Republican primary voters could ruin the establishment's plans: Alaska, where on Tuesday the state's GOP voters will choose who will challenge Mark Begich, the incumbent Democratic senator.
Polls suggest that the party establishment will win this final primary, but between the challenges of polling in Alaska and a strange name game, there's plenty of uncertainty.
The contest is a three-way race between Dan Sullivan, a former state attorney general and natural-resource commissioner; Mead Treadwell, the well-known lieutenant governor; and Joe Miller, a tea party-backed candidate who defeated Lisa Murkowski in the 2010 Republican primary but eventually lost to her write-in candidacy in the general election.

Sullivan is generally regarded as the favorite. He has raised more money than his opponents and has won the support of a fairly broad group of conservative and business organizations. He also won prominent support from Republican strategist Karl Rove.
Sullivan has led in every poll conducted this year, including four surveys since June 1 in which Sullivan had an advantage of around 10 points. Treadwell has been in second place in every poll, holding around 25 percent of the vote. Miller has languished in third, with around 15 to 20 percent of the vote, so it seems the Republicans will avoid a worst-case scenario in facing Begich.
Nonetheless, doubts about Sullivan's primary chances remain.
Sullivan has faced millions of dollars in negative advertisements, mostly from Begich and his allies. Sullivan has been attacked as an outsider — he was born in Ohio, moved to Alaska after law school in 1997, left for Washington, D.C., in 2002 and returned to Alaska in 2009. The outsider charge is a serious one in a state separated from the rest of the country by hundreds of miles.
There's not much evidence, at least in the public polls, that these attacks have dented Sullivan's support. But his modest lead is not especially convincing because polling errors in primaries are usually larger than those in general elections. That may be especially true in Alaska, a state known for being challenging to poll.
That reputation stems from an uninterrupted string of polling errors going back a decade: In 2004, Murkowski trailed in the only two nonpartisan polls of October, yet won; Begich was thought to have a significant lead in October 2008, but he won by only a point; Barack Obama was thought to trail by perhaps 10 to 15 points in 2008, but he lost by more than 20; Murkowski trailed again in 2010, but her write-in campaign ultimately prevailed.
Explanations for these misfires vary.
The state is at once one of the nation's most urban — only New York City has a larger share of its state's residents than Anchorage — and one of the most rural; two-thirds of Alaska's communities aren't accessible by road and depend on satellite- and cellular-based telecommunication.
The state's far-flung populations — including the native people of Alaska, who represent 14 percent of eligible voters — are hard to reach to pose poll questions.
The population of the state is no greater than that of the average congressional district. In today's era of low response rates, pollsters might find themselves running out of telephone numbers associated with active, registered voters.
There were only 300,000 voters in the 2012 general election.
These challenges are even more acute in low-turnout Republican primaries, which pose problems for pollsters anywhere in the country. Errors edging near 10 points have been fairly common in Republican primaries this year, and Alaska's Republican primary is more like a congressional primary than a typical Senate contest.
Only 100,000 voters participated in the 2010 Republican Senate primary. The sole pre-election poll four years ago showed Murkowski leading Miller by 32 points, 62 to 30, yet Miller won by 2 points.
The ballot itself poses another, unusual complication: the presence of another Dan Sullivan, who happens to be the mayor of Anchorage.
The question is whether Dan Sullivan — the Senate candidate, to be clear — has been benefiting from sharing the same name as the Anchorage mayor, who's quite popular among Republicans for taking on unions.
Both Sullivans will appear on the ballot; the Anchorage mayor is pursuing the office of lieutenant governor, vacated by Treadwell. No one knows how voters will react when some of them learn, perhaps even at the ballot box, that there are two Republican Sullivans.

Legislation to rename the Hickory Post Office for a Mississippi soldier who died in Afghanistan is on its way to President Obama.
Cong. Gregg Harper, the bill's sponsor, says the legislation was passed by the Senate Tuesday.
The proposal by the Mississippi Republican would name the post office for Sergeant Matthew L. Ingram, a 25-year-old Newton County native who died in August 2009, from wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle.
Harper's bill was co-sponsored by Mississippi Democrats Travis Childers, Gene Taylor and Bennie Thompson.
Previously, Ingram had received the Purple Heart for injuries during a second tour of duty in Iraq.

A dispute between businesses at the Bend Municipal Airport has landed in court, with one suing the other and the city of Bend for more than $4 million.
Professional Air, which filed the lawsuit, provides fuel, flight instruction, aircraft maintenance and other services at the city-owned airport. Leading Edge Aviation offers helicopter flight training, avionics installation and other services. Last year, Leading Edge Aviation sought a new lease with the city that would allow the company its own fueling station. The city's agreement to sign the lease is one of a long list of ways in which Professional Air alleges the city violated municipal and state laws and retaliated against Professional Air for refusing to modify an airport development agreement.
In a complaint filed Feb. 15 in Deschutes County Circuit Court, Professional Air alleges the city breached its lease with Professional Air, as well as the development agreement the city signed with the company. Professional Air asked the court for damages of more than $4 million, to cancel or modify the city lease with Leading Edge Aviation and for other relief.
A representative of Professional Air declined to comment, and city officials declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Travis Warthen, a co-owner of Leading Edge Aviation, said the company decided to build its own fueling facility. "Our biggest motivation to do that is because we're the largest user of fuel at the airport," Warthen said Monday.
Leading Edge Aviation had purchased its fuel from Professional Air and had asked that company for a discount, which Professional Air declined to provide, according to Warthen. Leading Edge Aviation leased a fueling site from the city last summer, but stopped construction due to the dispute with Professional Air, Warthen said.
Now, Leading Edge Aviation uses a temporary fuel trailer. Warthen plans to sell fuel once Leading Edge Aviation gets a permanent fueling station.
Assistant city attorney Gary Firestone said he will likely ask the City Council to vote on a fueling station lease with Leading Edge Aviation. "We anticipate some changes, including changes in location," Firestone said.
Airport Manager Gary Judd said it is not uncommon for airports to have several fixed base operators providing fuel and other services.

Even with director Lynne Ramsay out of the picture, the troubled Western "Jane Got a Gun" continues to court controversy months after her departure, with the film now in post-production.
To recap: The Natalie Portman vehicle was scheduled to begin shooting earlier this year with Ramsay ("We Need To Talk About Kevin") at the helm, but not a single camera rolled until late spring/early summer when the project was salvaged by director Gavin O'Connor ("Warrior"), who came in to save the day after Ramsay was a no-show on her own set. Reportedly unbeknownst to Portman and Jude Law (who was initially replaced by Bradley Cooper, and ultimately Ewan McGregor), Ramsay had dropped the project after disputes with one of the films' producers/financiers.
Now comes news that Ramsay is being accused of having showed up on set intoxicated and treating both the cast and crew unjustly. The producers are looking to get back the $500,000 Ramsay was reportedly
paid to polish Brian Duffield's script and direct the film.
To do so, they have filed a federal lawsuit against Ramsay asserting that the director "during this period of time, was repeatedly under the influence of alcohol, was abusive to members of the cast and crew and was generally disruptive."
The lawsuit goes on to claim that "Defendant Ramsay failed to adhere to proper safety protocol for handling weapons on set, when she pointed a prop gun directly at a camera and, in turn, at the camera crew before first taking proper precautions."
Relativity and The Weinstein Company are distributing the film.

John 'JE' Englebert Threatens to Rip Ilan Hall's Head Off
The self-proclaimed 'Nightlife Lord' is stunned that the Top Chef won't be working at his new restaurant.
Suzie Wong impresario John "JE" Englebert, last seen publicly excoriating Flavor Flav for failing to show up at a party at one of his clubs, e-mails to tell us he's "stunned" that Ilan Hall backed out of a deal to be chef at his new spot, ¡pasé!, which we earlier reported would be on 455 West 16th Street. The press release is classic Englebert.
"I will rip his head off for screwing me!" Says Englebert. Englebert with several prominent business partners is opening Pase, an upscale, high-end Spanish-themed restaurant/lounge in the Meatpacking district NYC. "Hall and I exchanged numerous emails and traded phone calls. Explains Englebert, He agreed to be the executive chef at my new space for which he would get a weekly salary and percentage in the place in return for a nominal investment. I thought we had a done deal! - the food sections of New York magazine and Time Out New York even ran stories." [Actually, Grub Street's story made clear that Ilan's participation was merely the plan being put forth to investors.] The turning point came this week when Hall, a Great Neck Long Island native, was a no-show at an important meeting with Englebert and his partners. No calls, no explanation! "I was stunned," gripes Englebert. "He may be a reality TV star, but this doesn't give him the right to act like an ass...I have a sizeable fortune invested in the space already." Englebert also adds that all his places make money; he's been doing it a long time since he started out as a promoter for deposed nightlife kingpin Peter Gatien. "If he was nervous about putting money into the space, he should have talked to me man-to-man, not running like a dog with his head between his legs."
For his part, Hall tells "Page Six," which also got the release, that he never spoke to Englebert about the project — he told an associate that he would help out, but then cut ties when the self-proclaimed "Nightlife Lord" told Time Out that he was deciding between Hall and Daisy Martinez of Daisy Cooks! Hall is in L.A. right now, concentrating on a restaurant called the Gorbles — "old Jewish food, date-raped by bacon." And really, how's he going to give that up?
Not so fast: Ilan not a sure thing at ¡pasé! [TONY]
